Fastly

Fastly operates a content delivery network, which is necessary for entities to provide faster and more reliable online content. Fastly's strategy differs from traditional CDNs, which focus on locating servers in as many locations as possible to store copies of files that consumers most use. Fastly is in far fewer sites than traditional CDNs, but it houses servers in the most network-dense data centers. Instead of simply storing static content, it allows its customers to program on its platform, enabling edge computing and better service of the more dynamic content that was traditionally not well served by CDNs. Fastly gears its service to the largest, most sophisticated enterprises rather than small companies and generated nearly three fourths of its revenue in the United States in 2023.

On Wednesday, the Department of Justice released its remedy requests aimed at curbing Google&#8217;s search engine dominance. Alphabet, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google responded that the proposed remedies were "staggering."

Pitz described the sweeping remedies proposed by the DOJ as a "kitchen sink moment.&#8221; Pitz noted that the DOJ's proposed remedies extend past Google's search distribution partnerships with Apple and Samsung and included the company's AI search-based investments. 
Anmuth echoed similar sentiments regarding the "very comprehensive" set of remedies proposed by the DOJ. He said parts of the remedies are "more punitive than expected" and listed those around consumer choice limitations and the syndication of search data and ads as examples. 
The DOJ's proposal should represent the worst-case scenario for Google, reminded Anmuth. He expects Google's proposed final remedies to be much more modest.&nbsp;
"Ultimately, we believe the judge's final decision next summer will be more balanced … and will likely have greater consideration around the potential negative impact to users," the JPMorgan analyst wrote.&nbsp;
Sheridan said the firm does not take a view on a potential outcome of the case. He noted, however, that leadership at the US DOJ will change in January with the incoming Trump administration which adds an additional variable to the potential outcomes of the trial. 
The analyst also pointed to recent comments from President-elect Donald Trump expressing skepticism on a potential break-up of Google.&nbsp;
"If you do that, are you going to destroy the company? What you can do without breaking it up is make sure it&#8217;s more fair,&#8221; Trump said in October, per Reuters.&nbsp;
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Alphabet shares are down 1.55% at $166.62 at the time of publication Friday.

"The signs are all pointing in the right direction. Let's just hope the speed picks up," says Josh Schiller, a partner at Boies Schiller Flexner, speaking about the progression of a Massachusetts-based lawsuit that could reshape the cannabis industry. The case challenges the federal government's enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) against state-legal cannabis businesses, arguing that the federal approach violates constitutional principles.
At the center of the lawsuit is Justice Clarence Thomas' critique of federal cannabis policy. In 2021, Thomas called the federal government's stance "half in, half out," highlighting its contradictory approach to state-legal cannabis markets. Schiller's team argues that these contradictions undermine the rationale of the Supreme Court's 2005 decision in Gonzales v. Raich, which upheld federal authority under the Commerce Clause.

</div>
</figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A New Era Of Legal Challenges</h3>
Filed in Massachusetts, the case seeks to address what Schiller describes as a fundamental shift in federal cannabis policy. In Raich, the federal government successfully argued that a consistent national prohibition was necessary to combat the illicit market. However, Schiller points to subsequent federal actions, such as congressional riders protecting state medical cannabis programs, as evidence that the government has abandoned its eradication strategy.
"Congress has taken steps to move away from the eradication policy," Schiller explains during the interview. He cites examples like the federal allowance of recreational cannabis sales in Washington, D.C., to show that federal priorities have evolved.
The lawsuit also addresses the practical challenges faced by cannabis businesses operating under the shadow of federal prohibition. "The financial consequences imposed by the federal government's continued overhang of illegality has consequences," Schiller says. He highlights issues such as excessive taxation under IRS Code 280E, limited access to banking and loans, and the reliance on cash-based operations due to federal banking restrictions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stakes For The Industry</h3>
If successful, the lawsuit could remove significant barriers for cannabis businesses, including the tax penalties imposed by 280E. "Everyone in this industry knows the taxation is discriminatory," Schiller notes, referring to how cannabis businesses are taxed on revenue rather than profit.
The case could also open the door to retroactive tax refunds, potentially worth billions, and pave the way for broader financial reforms. Schiller acknowledges that these changes could have transformative effects on the industry, leveling the playing field for businesses operating within state-legal frameworks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h3>
Oral arguments in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit are scheduled for December 5, 2024. Schiller explains that the court could either uphold the government's motion to dismiss or allow the case to proceed. If the plaintiffs are unsuccessful, the next step would be petitioning the Supreme Court to hear the case, although Schiller acknowledges that the Court takes on a limited number of cases.
"They're very selective," Schiller says of the Supreme Court. "They hear a very small single-digit percentage of the cases that they take on." However, Schiller believes the case could have appeal for some justices, particularly those like Justice Thomas, who have previously critiqued federal cannabis policy. &#8220;We also believe that Justice Gorsuch, who's a well-known author of federalist principles, would be interested in a case like this,&#8221; he adds.
Schiller emphasizes that a favorable ruling could fundamentally alter how the federal government interacts with state-regulated cannabis markets, potentially setting a precedent for other industries navigating federal-state conflicts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Pivotal Moment For Federalism</h3>
As the case moves forward, its implications extend beyond cannabis, touching on larger questions of federalism and constitutional authority. Schiller stresses the need for the courts to reassess how federal policies align with state-legal frameworks.
The plaintiffs argue that the federal government's continued criminalization of cannabis businesses operating lawfully under state laws creates unnecessary and discriminatory burdens, from excessive taxation to restricted access to financial services.
Schiller's team views the lawsuit as a step toward bridging the gap between federal actions and the progress made by states in regulating cannabis markets. The outcome could shape the future of cannabis policy in America, offering much-needed clarity for businesses and regulators alike.

Behind the Scenes of Lemonade's Latest Options Trends

Institutional investment in the cryptocurrency space is poised for a massive influx, with hundreds of billions of dollars expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42138947/bitcoin-zeroes-in-on-100000-but-this-indicator-signals-one-more-brief-correction">enter the market</a> in the coming years, according to Devin Ryan, managing director at JMP Securities.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/11/22/crypto-boom-drives-investment-opportunities-with-coinbase-and-robinhood-leading-the-charge.html">interview</a> with CNBC, Ryan emphasized that the evolving regulatory landscape and the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are key catalysts for this transformative growth.
"We have research out saying $220 billion of assets are coming into Bitcoin ETFs in the next three years," Ryan said. "If there is a strategic reserve, that could be hundreds of billions of dollars of assets into Bitcoin."
Ryan pointed out that trading volumes for companies like Coinbase Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) have surged since the U.S. presidential election. 
Coinbase volumes, for instance, have tripled, reflecting growing interest in the sector. 
"This activity unlocks a lot of innovation that's been held back," Ryan said, noting the potential for significant growth in payments, remittances, stablecoins, and Web3 applications.
Sarah Kunst, managing director at Cleo Capital, echoed Ryan's optimism, noting that institutional money has been waiting on the sidelines for regulatory clarity.

Kunst highlighted the new U.S. administration&#8217;s potentially more favorable stance toward mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) as a driver for ecosystem growth. 
"I think there are people who have not yet gotten in the game who want to get in the game," she said. "This is really crypto's third act."
Kunst identified key players in the space, including crypto exchanges and infrastructure firms, as potential acquisition targets for larger financial institutions. 
"Names like FalconX, the crypto prime brokerage, and Gemini, the crypto marketplace, are likely to attract attention from big acquirers," she stated.
While Bitcoin CRYPTO: BTC) remains the centerpiece of institutional interest, Kunst sees a broadening investment focus. "Meme coins are dangerous—you can make a lot, but you can lose your shirt," she warned. 
Instead, she pointed to stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs as safer options, especially for institutions unable to hold crypto directly.
Ryan reinforced this outlook, emphasizing the importance of capital flows. 
"Follow the flows, and the flows are still coming—we're in the early days," he said. 
Beyond Bitcoin ETFs, Ryan expects tens of billions of dollars to flow into other crypto tokens as regulatory uncertainty diminishes, spurring innovation and further investment in the space.

Bitcoin ETFs Will See Hundreds Of Billions In Inflows, Analyst Predicts

Shaquille O&#8217;Neal is one of the most famous and successful people around, but when it comes to his fortune, he&#8217;s surprisingly relaxed about it. On a recent Dan Patrick Show, Dan asked the NBA legend if he's a billionaire yet and his response was classic Shaq. He casually replied, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know, I never checked.&#8221;

</ul>
Instead of closely monitoring his bank balance like many other wealthy individuals, Shaq measures wealth differently. To him, being rich isn't about hitting a specific dollar amount but about being able to take care of his family – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41186647/nba-star-shaq-wanted-to-get-rich-to-buy-his-mother-anything-she-wanted-that-right-there-is-what-">especially his mom</a>.
When a kid recently asked Shaq how it feels to be rich, he gave a heartfelt answer: &#8220;My definition of rich is being able to buy my mother whatever she wants – my favorite person in the world.&#8221; For Shaq, taking care of his mother, who made countless sacrifices when he was growing up, is the ultimate sign of wealth.
In the interview, Shaq recalled moments he'd never forget – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41337452/nba-legend-shaq-was-raised-by-teen-mom-who-fueled-his-success-cant-outplay-me-because-if-you-are">seeing his mom struggle</a>, even wearing the same pair of pants multiple days a week just to make ends meet. That's why, when he started making money, one of his first goals was to ensure his mom never had to struggle again. She was the first person he thought of when he got his big NBA paycheck.

Shaq's motivation comes from seeing his mom's sacrifices and ensuring she's always comfortable. "As long as my mother doesn't have to feel like she felt when we were young, that's my definition of being rich," he said.
Shaq's big heart doesn't stop with his mom. He shared a recent story about being at Walmart, where he spotted a mom with a tall son and three young daughters. The mom was picking out items for her kids and Shaq approached her, asking how much she planned to spend. After learning she was buying only what she could afford, he gave her $5,000 to get everything she needed for her family. Moments like these show what matters most to Shaq – using his money to make life better for others.
Shaq also wants his kids to learn these values. He wants them to understand that just because he has a lot of money doesn't mean they can rely on it without effort. For this reason, he has made it clear that his children must earn a share of his money by becoming good students, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41869301/shaqs-got-a-500-million-fortune-but-his-kids-arent-getting-a-dime-without-earning-it-you-need-3-degrees-to-touch-daddys-cheese">getting multiple diplomas</a> and demonstrating their ability to work hard on their own.

Shaquille O'Neal Says He Doesn't Know If He's A Billionaire Yet – 'I Never Checked.' Here's What Being Rich Means To Him

Morgan Stanley analyst Stephen Byrd maintains American Electric Power (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEP#NASDAQ">AEP</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $109 to $104.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on American Electric Power, Lowers Price Target to $104

For decades, famed value investor&nbsp;Warren Buffett&nbsp;has insisted&nbsp;that he does not try to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38275323/warren-buffett-warns-dont-watch-the-market-closely-urges-not-to-obsessively-check-stock-prices-i">&#8220;time the market.&#8221;</a> But, his recent sales could serve as a warning sign for investors amid a period of protracted valuations.
What Happened: Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) has gradually wound down its largest positions over the last year.
Berkshire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41993666/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-slashes-apple-bofa-holdings-adds-dominos-pizza-in-q3">slashed its largest position</a> in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) by over two-thirds since 2023. Buffett also sold much of his position in Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) since the summer. He also trimmed back nearly all of his position in Ulta Beauty Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>), an atypically short holding period for the investor who preaches investing for the long term.
The Omaha, Nebraska-based company&#8217;s cash horde now stands at an astounding $325 billion.

Why it Matters: Several market experts have struggled to comprehend Buffett&#8217;s thought process — is he bearish on the market at large? Reallocating his portfolio away from Apple and Bank of America to diversify? Or, as Buffett hinted at in May, anticipating a future change to U.S. tax laws?
An <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-11-21/buffett-s-325-billion-cash-hoard-is-an-early-warning-signal?srnd=homepage-americas">article</a> from Bloomberg columnist Nir Kaissar could fuel the first theory. A <a href="https://x.com/cullenroche/status/1859644225991987508">post</a> on X relayed a graph from the article showing Buffett&#8217;s cash pile conspicuously rising ahead of financial crises.

As companies in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) sustain a period of high valuations, Buffett could simply be heeding his advice, &#8220;to be fearful when&nbsp;others are greedy&nbsp;and to be greedy only when others are fearful,&#8221; allocating his portfolio away from what he deems riskier investments
