 (OTC:ISRIF) Azioni, Catena delle Opzioni

Google&#8216;s parent company Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) experienced a decline in its stock value during pre-market trading on Tuesday. As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, GOOGL shares fell by 1.02%, while GOOG shares decreased by 1.01%. This downturn follows reports that the U.S. Department of Justice is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42053249/google-could-lose-chrome-browser-in-dojs-latest-antitrust-move">preparing to request a court order</a> requiring Google to divest its Chrome browser.
What Happened: The DOJ&#8217;s action stems from an August ruling that found Google guilty of illegally monopolizing the search market. Additionally, the department is expected to propose measures concerning Google&#8217;s AI and Android operating system.
Google&#8217;s Chrome browser, which commands approximately two-thirds of the global browser market, plays a vital role in controlling internet traffic and ad visibility, making it a significant revenue source for Google.
Google plans to appeal following a final ruling by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, expected by August 2025.

Why It Matters: As Alphabet approaches the Department of Justice&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42036010/alphabet-on-trial-doj-remedies-loom-but-analyst-sees-20-upside-as-discount-to-meta-narrows">final proposed remedies</a> on Nov. 20, the stakes are high. JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth anticipates potential headline risk but also sees this as an opportunity for clarity, paving the way for Google&#8217;s response and future appeal strategies. Despite the looming legal challenges, Anmuth maintains an Overweight rating on GOOGL stock, with a price target of $212, 20% above current levels.
Meanwhile, Verily, Alphabet&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42053801/alphabets-life-sciences-firm-verily-to-become-a-standalone-entity-disconnect-from-google">life sciences subsidiary, </a>is preparing to become a standalone entity by December. This separation from Google, including cutting ties with its cloud infrastructure and employee benefits, is seen as a crucial step towards Verily&#8217;s goal of operating independently, though it will remain part of Alphabet.

Google's Parent Alphabet Shares Dip During Tuesday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

Citadel LLC CEO Ken Griffin, on Monday, while speaking at Oxford Union in the UK said that President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s economic policies including tariffs are a &#8220;long, slippery slope,&#8221; that will hurt U.S. companies in the long run to compete globally.
What Happened: Griffin, a significant Republican donor, expressed confidence in Trump&#8217;s victory, saying that the U.S. economy is going back to "the business of business" after calling the former president&#8217;s economic policies as &#8220;regretfully&#8221; last year, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-18/ken-griffin-says-he-s-very-anxious-about-trump-s-tariff-policy">reported</a> Bloomberg. 
Since founding Citadel in 1990, Griffin has grown the company into a $65 billion giant and accumulated a personal fortune that, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, is currently <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/kenneth-c-griffin/">valued</a> at $42.2 billion.
The 56-year-old hedge fund billionaire said he believes countries continue to spend more than they can afford and that he expects Trump&#8217;s administration would reduce the size of government in a broad conversation that covered a variety of subjects, including politics, investing, and immigration.

Why It Matters: Recently, tech investor and&nbsp;Palantir Technologies'&nbsp;co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;has made a daring prediction about the potential impact of Trump's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">60% tariff on Chinese goods</a>.
Thiel said that shifting manufacturing from China to Vietnam would significantly harm China, and have only a minor impact on American consumers. From a geopolitical perspective, he argued, this move would align closely with American strategic interests.
Goldman Sachs estimates that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">potential universal tariff</a> would raise core personal consumption expenditures inflation — the Fed's favorite inflation gauge — by 0.9-1.2 percentage points at its peak, pushing inflation back to 3%.
Moreover, a recent study by the National Retail Federation warns that Trump's&nbsp;proposed tariffs could significantly impact American consumers, potentially reducing annual <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">spending by $78 billion</a>.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is back in the top five holdings of The Future Fund Active ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>) as of Nov. 15, fund manager Gary Black said on Monday.
What Happened: Tesla is now the fifth top holding in the ETF after Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Alphabet Inc. (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>), Salesforce Inc.

The Future Fund has maintained Tesla as a significant holding since its 2021 launch, though the position has been adjusted from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41870590/tesla-remains-core-for-gary-black-despite-price-cuts-earnings-drop-nvidia-google-eli-lilly-among-top-performers-in-tech-bulls-portfolio">12.2% in October 2022</a> to 4.11% as of Nov. 15.
Nvidia tops the charts, accounting for 9.29% of The Future Fund Active ETF&#8217;s net assets. Alphabet&#8217;s Class A stock stands at 7.81%, Salesforce at 4.85%, and Netflix at 4.56%.

&#8220;It's called sell discipline, and in the institutional world it's critical to getting assets. No institution will hire you as a manager if you like a stock at any price,&#8221; Black said.
&#8220;Second, when $TSLA pursues a pricing strategy that causes earnings to fall by 50% and TSLA stock to fall by 70% as happened in 2022-2023, wouldn't it be better to sell high and then buy back in after the drawdown?&#8221;
Why It Matters: Tesla resorted to price cuts in late 2022 to up their sales amid an EV demand slowdown and rising competition. The price cuts weighed heavily upon Tesla&#8217;s margins and Black started <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/04/38349246/should-have-sold-our-entire-tsla-position-says-fund-manager-following-ev-giants-coordinated-global-p">trimming his position.</a> The Tesla investor community subsequently alleged that he is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42028323/gary-black-defends-tesla-strategy-amid-clash-with-elon-musk-bulls-we-dont-trade-tesla-we-trim-when-the-price-goes-higher">engaging in short-term trading. </a>
&#8220;Those of us who are long time TSLA bulls, who know instinctively when the stock is oversold and conversely when sentiment is too exuberant, get run out of town quickly for voicing concerns — even when those concerns turn out later to be accurate (e.g. price cuts).&#8221;
In my world, it's ok to take profits when a stock is up 150% in 8 months,&#8221; Black explained in another post on X on Monday.

Nippon Steel (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NISTF#OTC">NISTF</a>) executives have traveled to Pennsylvania to garner support for their $15 billion acquisition bid for U.S. Steel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>). The Japanese steel giant is encountering political resistance in Washington.
What Happened: Takahiro Mori, vice-chair of Nippon Steel, arrived in Pittsburgh on Saturday to advocate for the acquisition. The deal faces opposition from both President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump, who prefer U.S. Steel to remain under American ownership, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/c0549c37-142f-462a-ae2b-55215ea77419">reported</a> on Tuesday.
Despite these political challenges, Nippon Steel is seeking regulatory approval post-election. Mori is scheduled to meet with government officials in Washington later this week.
Mori is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41045029/amid-nippon-us-steel-debacle-kamala-harris-stresses-importance-of-us-steel-production-even-if-it">engaging with U.S. Steel workers</a> this week, particularly those in the United Steelworkers union. Some union members have expressed support for the deal, differing from USW president David McCall, who opposes Nippon&#8217;s ownership.

Nippon Steel has committed to investing nearly $3 billion in U.S. facilities. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. has granted Nippon a 90-day extension to address national security concerns, with a final decision anticipated by the end of the year.
Why It Matters: The acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel has been a contentious issue, with significant political and economic implications. Nippon Steel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41806893/nippon-steel-remains-confident-in-14b-us-steel-deal-despite-trumps-resistance-there-can-be-construct">remains optimistic about finalizing</a> the deal by year-end, despite facing opposition from the Biden administration and President-elect Trump, who plans to block the acquisition.
The deal is seen as a potential boost for the U.S. economy by creating jobs and increasing competitiveness against China&#8217;s steel industry. However, the United Steelworkers union opposes the deal, citing job security concerns for its members.
In October, U.S. Steel reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41665667/us-steel-reports-better-than-expected-q3-results-aims-to-close-nippon-steel-deal-by-year-end"> better-than-expected third-quarter results</a>, with earnings of 56 cents per share, surpassing analyst expectations. The company expressed its intention to close the deal with Nippon Steel by the end of the year.

What Happened: While many analysts expect good results from the chipmaker, technical analyst, and chief investment officer at NeoTrader, Dr C.K. Narayan says that &#8220;the trend is resolute in Nvidia charts.&#8221; He expects the stock to trade upwards of $140 per share if the third-quarter financials beat the street expectations.

Earnings Expectations
Nvidia, led by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41883803/nvidias-blackwell-chip-revenue-could-hit-6-billion-next-quarter-analyst">Jensen Huang</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41883803/nvidias-blackwell-chip-revenue-could-hit-6-billion-next-quarter-analyst"> has forecasted</a> third-quarter revenue of approximately $32.5 billion, driven by strong demand for its Hopper and Blackwell GPUs.
These GPUs are expected to bolster Nvidia's data center segment. The Blackwell units, priced between $30,000 and $40,000, are in high demand, with production ramping up in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Nvidia is fully supply-constrained on new products, which could limit the potential upside for the current quarter and the company&#8217;s outlook, said Joseph Moore, a Morgan Stanley analyst. Morgan Stanley maintains Nvidia as a top pick with an &#8216;overweight&#8217; rating, raising the price target from $150 to $160.
