Shares of Hims &amp; Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>) traded higher on Monday in response to President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s plans to nominate Marty Makary to lead the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HIMS/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Market optimism surrounding Makary's selection may have bolstered Hims &amp; Hers shares on Monday as investors anticipate that the nomination could bring favorable regulatory changes to the sector. Makary is a proponent of telehealth and an executive at Sesame, a company that connects consumers to physicians who can prescribe compounded weight-loss drugs.
Hunterbrook Capital released a <a href="https://hntrbrk.com/hims-follow-up/">bullish report</a> on Monday announcing a long position in Hims &amp; Hers Health, citing potential benefits from Makary&#8217;s leadership at the FDA. The report suggests that Makary's background and expertise could stabilize the compounded GLP-1 drug market, in which Hims &amp; Hers Health is actively involved.
The report also highlighted regulatory challenges Hims &amp; Hers Health has faced, including fluctuating FDA guidance on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41718402/whats-going-on-with-hims-hers-health-stock-monday">drug shortages</a> and scrutiny over its prescribing practices. Makary's history with telehealth and compounded drugs may signal a more supportive regulatory environment, driving investor optimism.
Hims has been expanding into the weight-loss drug market with compounded GLP-1 products, which are cheaper alternatives to branded drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro. Regulatory clarity under Makary's potential leadership is seen as a positive development for the company.
HIMS Price Action: Hims &amp; Hers shares closed Monday up 23.9% at $31.39, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

For NBC, big balloons mean a bigger budget.
What Happened: The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, known for its extravagant performances and cartoon character floats, is getting pricier. 
Since 1953, the peacock-branded network has aired the iconic turkey-day tradition. And, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/nbc-ready-to-pay-triple-to-gobble-up-thanksgiving-parade-broadcast-rights-e18fd95f?mod=hp_lead_pos5">The Wall Street Journal</a>, NBC is considering a $60-million agreement — triple the current $20 million rate — to secure those rights through the next decade.

So why the hefty price? Consider the appeal of live events in a streaming-dominated world. 
Comcast Corp.-owned (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) NBC and other traditional forms of TV are struggling to keep audiences after the whole cord-cutting trend. Marquee moments like parades, football games, boxing matches and awards shows are now popping up streaming services.
For NBC, the bet is that Peacock streaming customers will tune into the Nov. 28 crowd-pleaser, which is expected to feature celebrity appearances and live Broadway performances. 
Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) can relate. The Burbank, California-based conglomerate shelled out a 20% premium to swipe the Grammy Awards from Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>), which had been airing it on CBS.
Why It Matters: The value of a live audience is as buoyant as a giant Snoopy balloon.
Nearly 30 million viewers tuned in to watch last year's parade, and this Thursday morning promises another spectacle of at least 11 marching bands, 28 clown crews, 22 balloons and 33 floats.
As for performers, viewers can expect a lineup of famous faces, including Charli D'Amelio, original &#8220;Wicked&#8221; star Idina Menzel, &#8220;Tonight Show&#8221; host Jimmy Fallon with The Roots, Coco Jones, Liza Colón-Zayas, The Temptations, T-Pain and the New York Liberty.
The route stretches 2.5 miles. It begins at 77th Street and Central Park West and winds its way down to Macy's Herald Square, the flagship store of Macy&#8217;s Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>).
For those in New York City eager to preview the parade prep, the balloon inflation event happens Wednesday, Nov. 27, on the Upper West Side — a chance to get up close and personal with the towering inflatable icons.
Per <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2024/11/21/macys-thanksgiving-day-parade-2024/76454992007/">USA Today</a>, this year&#8217;s event will debut new balloons, including Minnie Mouse, the Extraordinary Noorah and Gabby from Gabby&#8217;s Dollhouse.

Eastman Kodak Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KODK#NYSE">KODK</a>) shares closed Monday&#8217;s session up more than 18% after the company announced plans to terminate its U.S. pension program. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KODK/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: In a new regulatory filing, Kodak said the Kodak Retirement Income Plan Trust entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Mastercard Foundation in which Mastercard will purchase certain private equity ownership interests and other illiquid assets. 
Kodak will sell the illiquid assets with a value of $764.4 million for a purchase price of $550.6 million in cash. Additional buyers will acquire $87.3 million in assets.
According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/kodak-prepares-to-terminate-u-s-pension-book-gain-of-more-than-500-million-d0cfb621?mod=lead_feature_below_a_pos3">The Wall Street Journal</a>, Kodak&#8217;s pension plan is overfunded, with $3.5 billion in assets and $2.3 billion in liabilities. The termination process will involve selling illiquid assets, settling liabilities and replacing the plan with a new retirement program. 
The termination is expected to result in a cash gain of $530 million to $585 million after taxes. Kodak plans to use these proceeds to reduce its $460 million in long-term debt, which includes a 12.5% term loan. Under its credit agreement, the company must reduce its debt balance to $200 million with proceeds of this size.
This move is aimed at improving Kodak's financial health, reducing interest expenses and investing in core business areas like pharmaceutical chemicals. The process is expected to take over a year and plan participants will retain the full value of their benefits through annuities or lump-sum payouts.
Kodak closed its latest quarter with $214 million in cash after reporting a quarterly profit of $18 million.
KODK Price Action: Eastman Kodak shares closed Monday at $6.24 after gaining 18.4% during regular trading hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Kodak Stock Is Trading At 52-Week Highs: What's Going On?

Tim Draper, a prominent venture capitalist and cryptocurrency enthusiast, has made Bitcoin price predictions since 2014.
That year, Draper predicted Bitcoin to be $10,000 by the end of 2017. Despite skepticism, his forecast proved accurate, as Bitcoin hit $10,000 in November 2017 during its dramatic bull run.
In 2018, Draper forecast Bitcoin to reach $250,000 by the end of 2022. This bold prediction was not fully realized, though Bitcoin did reach an all-time high of approximately $69,000 in November 2021.
When Bitcoin failed to hit the target price in 2018, Draper extended the timeline to mid-2023. The futurist and investor based this target price on mass adoption, particularly by women and retail investors.
Draper said in an interview with Benzinga: "My first prediction was in 2014 when Bitcoin was at $180. I said that it would be $10,000 in three years. Sure enough, by the end of 2017, Bitcoin hit $10,000. Since then, I have not been as prescient. I thought Bitcoin would hit $250,000 by 2022! I think I am going to be three years off.&#8221; Draper added: &#8220;I think we can chalk those three years up to a weak government that regulated rather than encouraged new technologies. Our new government is more encouraging."
Since the U.S. presidential election in November, the crypto world has been celebrating with a decidedly more bullish outlook. Though many tokens have seen significant gains, including Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Bitcoin has taken center stage, reaching a record high of $99,000 on Nov. 21, the second all-time high of the month.
Benzinga asked Draper what his prediction was for Bitcoin with the end of 2024 rapidly approaching and he responded: "This is just the beginning! If you are asking about price prediction, I would say about Bitcoin will reach about $120,000 by end of year."
Benzinga asked Draper what drives his future forecasts for Bitcoin, he pointed to the superiority of the cryptocurrency over traditional fiat and long-term trends in usage.
"It is a long-term trend. Bitcoin is just better technology than using banks and governments as the trusted third party. It is transparent, global, open, keeps perfect records, etcetera. It will make the world wealthier. When retailers (for currency) and governments (for taxes) realize that Bitcoin will save them money on each transaction, then there will be a great incentive for everyone to use Bitcoin."
When asked for his prognostication for 2025, Draper said he is holding out for the $250,000 level and cited the proposed U.S. Bitcoin reserve as a contributing factor.
"Assuming a standard supply and demand curve, if there is a big buyer like that, the price will continue to rise. I think 2025 is the year Bitcoin will finally hit my mark of $250,000," Draper noted.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">MicroStrategy Leads the Bitcoin Charge</h1>
Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1861033309934862601">tweeted today</a><a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1861033309934862601" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>that the company acquired $5.4 billion in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the single biggest purchase of the world's leading decentralized digital currency.
In the tweet, Saylor stated, "MicroStrategy has acquired 55,500 BTC for ~$5.4 billion at ~$97,862 per #bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 35.2% QTD and 59.3% YTD. As of 11/24/2024, we hodl 386,700 $BTC acquired for ~$21.9 billion at ~$56,761 per bitcoin. $MSTR"
This is after the news that the company is making $500 million a day with its Bitcoin holdings, which Saylor said have appreciated by $5.4 billion over the past two weeks. Saylor predicted Bitcoin could reach $13 million by 2045, which would elevate its market cap to $250 trillion. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Optimism Among Web3 Leaders</h1>
Nathan Berkley, CEO of Muhdo Health Limited, a health technology company specializing in DNA and epigenetic testing which incorporates cryptocurrency into its operations, has a bullish outlook on Bitcoin and independently concurs with Draper's forecast.
"I think we could see Bitcoin hit $120,000. With U.S. sentiment being positive to this market now, and understanding Web3 can have real impact, it's a great time to be in the space," Berkley noted.
Lisa Loud, executive director of Secret Network Foundation, a blockchain platform designed to enable privacy-preserving decentralized applications, said: "The Bitcoin of today is not the Bitcoin of 2020: we have a broader finance interest, politics, and uncertain regulatory changes. A conservative estimate would say it will end in the range of $92,000-115,000, but if we get a large opt-in from mainstream, we could blow this estimate out of the water."

&#8220;Our fourth quarter results were in line with our revised expectations on the top-line, and we saw strong performance in our Pro segment with some continued softness in store traffic and larger-ticket and discretionary categories. Profitability was affected by deleverage from the sales decline and a one-time contract item, though we have remained disciplined on SG&amp;A expenses,&#8221; said Jason McDonell, CEO of Leslie&#8217;s. 
Outlook: Leslie&#8217;s expects first-quarter sales of between $169 million and $176 million and gross profit of $45 million to $48 million. 
LESL Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Leslie's shares are down 18.80% after-hours at $2.85 after gaining 10% during Monday&#8217;s regular trading session.

Last week, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) deepened its partnership with Anthropic through an additional $4 billion investment, bringing Amazon's total investment in the artificial intelligence research and development <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42141911/amazon-and-anthropic-deepen-4-billion-ai-partnership-with-claude-35-launch">company to $8 billion. </a> 
The Details: As part of the investment, Anthropic <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/amazon-invests-additional-4-billion-anthropic-ai">has named</a> Amazon Web Services as its primary training partner, in addition to continuing to be its primary cloud provider, and will use AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips to train and deploy its future foundation models.
Amazon also said Anthropic will work with AWS's chip-making division, Annapurna Labs, to continue the development of its custom Trainium chips.&nbsp;

Expert Ideas: Bank of America Securities analyst Justin Post sees the expanded partnership as beneficial for both companies. Amazon needs a strong AI partner in order to ensure it can maintain competitive large language model (LLM) capabilities for AWS, and Anthropic likely needs more capital to compete with rival AI developer, OpenAI. 
Post also noted that the co-development of Amazon's Trainium chip capabilities could accelerate progress and build credibility for the chips among other AI customers. Also, Anthropic likely finds the potential cost savings for training and inference of its models attractive, given the company's current cash burn rate.&nbsp;
The analyst reiterated his view that the expanded partnership will prove to be mutually beneficial for Amazon and Anthropic.&nbsp;
"In our view, Amazon's growing investment will further advance Anthropic's capabilities, which should help capture incremental AI spend from Amazon's leading customer base," Post wrote.
Bank of America Securities maintained its Buy rating and $230 price objective on Amazon stock. 
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Amazon shares ended Monday's session 2.2% higher at $201.45.
