Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41635149/2024-election-odds-on-polymarket-kalshi-show-trump-will-win-why-they-might-be-wrong">surged in popularity</a> during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 election cycle</a>. Here&#8217;s all you need to know about the betting markets on Election Day as the U.S. elects a new president, either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
A Preface: Bettors on Polymarket, Kalshi, and other websites can continue betting even after the polls close. This is different than, say, sports betting where bets are locked after the game starts.
The betting odds will constantly update as votes are counted—favorable partial results for Trump will shift the odds in his column positively, and vice versa. As the race nears being called, the odds will converge on the winner.
The U.S. election could be called on Election Day—or it could take several weeks if a close tally requires recounts. Bettors can bet on the race at any time until the outcome is resolved.
Polymarket Policy: Polymarket <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/presidential-election-winner-2024?tid=1730829736678">lays</a> out its procedure for determining the outcome of its presidential market.
&#8220;This Presidential market resolves when the Associated Press, Fox, and NBC all call the election for the same candidate. In the unlikely event that doesn't happen, the market will remain open until inauguration and resolve to whoever gets inaugurated,&#8221; the website reads.
Kalshi Policy: Kalshi&#8217;s market is <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/pres/presidential-elections">resolved</a> when the candidate is inaugurated.
&#8220;This market resolves when a candidate (or another representative of their party) is inaugurated as President for the term beginning January 20, 2025,&#8221; its rules read. &#8220;You can cash out of your position at any point in time.&#8221;
Why it Matters: Election night may present challenges such as confusion and misinformation. Bettors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with market rules before placing bets.
Several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41698607/kamala-harris-ready-if-trump-decides-to-falsely-declare-victory-we-are-prepared-to-respond">corroborating sources indicate</a> that Trump will prematurely declare victory on election night before all votes are counted. The Trump campaign <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/11/18202190/trump-declares-victory-ahead-of-results-from-key-states">acted similarly in 2020</a> in its loss to Joe Biden. Bettors should understand that while early results could indicate the direction of the race, it will ultimately not be resolved until the requirements of Polymarket and Kalshi are met.
According to reports, Kamala Harris's campaign and Democratic Party officials anticipate a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41698607/kamala-harris-ready-if-trump-decides-to-falsely-declare-victory-we-are-prepared-to-respond">premature victory declaration</a> by Trump in the 2024 election and are reportedly preparing a swift response. The Trump campaign <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/11/18202190/trump-declares-victory-ahead-of-results-from-key-states">took a similar approach</a> in 2020 during its loss to Joe Biden.
Bettors should be aware that while early results may indicate the potential direction of the race, the final outcome will not be determined until the conditions set by Polymarket and Kalshi are fulfilled.

This year&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/24/05/39012013/noaa-meteorologists-predict-aggressive-hurricane-season-what-it-means-for-home-depot-generac-other-s">hurricane season </a>is a deadly one for the eastern and Gulf Coast of the U.S. Several companies and ETFs could be affected by another tropical storm nearing the Gulf Coast.
The Storm: Tropical Storm Rafael, the 17th named storm of the 2024 season, formed in the Caribbean, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/weather/hurricanes/tropical-storm-rafael-forms-expected-hurricane-rcna178632">according</a> to NBC.
The storm passed by Jamaica on Tuesday. It is expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Tuesday near the Cayman Islands and pass over Western Cuba. From there, it will likely weaken into a tropical storm before making landfall near New Orleans. The path may change drastically before impacting the U.S.
The heaviest rain of up to 10 inches is expected in Jamaica.
Market Impacts: With a projected path in the Gulf of Mexico, Rafael could disrupt offshore oil and gas production, which could impact companies operating there.
Potentially affected stocks include major energy companies like Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>), and ETFs like SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) and Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>).
Storms in the Gulf of Mexico can also disrupt refining operations, which could impact refiners such as Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>), Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) and Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>).
Construction companies like Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMC#NYSE">VMC</a>) and Martin Marietta Materials Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLM#NYSE">MLM</a>) might benefit from increased demand for repairs and rebuilding.
Recent extreme weather activity is linked to climate change. Hurricanes, which will become even more frequent over time, may encourage homeowners to purchase home generators. Generac Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) is the largest producer of home generators in the U.S.

In the current market session, Lennox Intl Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LII#NYSE">LII</a>) stock price is at $601.00, after a 0.61% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 2.48%, and in the past year, by 58.07%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Lennox Intl P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 26.68 in the Building Products industry, Lennox Intl Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 28.72. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Lennox Intl Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730835070_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

On Monday, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>) reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41709529/fis-reports-strong-third-quarter-2024-results-and-raises-full-year-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter revenue</a> of $2.57 billion, up 3% year over year, topping the analyst consensus of $2.56 billion. Adjusted&nbsp;EPS of $1.40 beat the analyst consensus of $1.29.
The company expects fiscal 2024 revenue of $10.14 billion &#8211; $10.17 billion (prior $10.12 billion &#8211; $10.17 billion) and adjusted EPS of $5.15 &#8211; $5.20 (prior $5.03 &#8211; $5.11).

Multiple analysts rerated the stock after the print. RBC Capital analyst Daniel Perlin maintained Fidelity National Info with an Outperform and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FIS/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $95 to $104</a>.
KeyBanc analyst Alex Markgraff remained Sector Weight on Fidelity National Info. Goldman Sachs analyst Will Nance reiterated a Buy on Fidelity National Info with a price target of $100, up from $97.
RBC Capital: Perlin highlighted FIS&#8217; recent performance, noting strength in core banking sales and operating leverage in capital markets. Banking segment adjusted revenue grew by 3% year-over-year to $1.71 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 45.2%, supported by cost-saving efforts and an increasing proportion of recurring revenue, up 6% year-over-year. The recent acquisition of Dragonfly, which offers liquidity management and fraud prevention for complex commercial clients, enhances FIS&#8217; digital offerings and opens cross-selling opportunities with banks not yet using FIS&#8217; core services.
The Capital Markets segment posted 7% adjusted revenue growth, reaching $730 million, with a 49.9% EBITDA margin. This was attributed to a favorable revenue mix and operational leverage. Management anticipates ongoing margin expansion in the segment, driven by increased recurring revenue and a boost in cross-selling activity across the enterprise, which rose 20% year-to-date.
KeyBanc: Markgraff observed that FIS reported better-than-expected third-quarter results and raised its full-year guidance. However, the increase was primarily due to reduced interest expenses and added Worldpay EMI contributions rather than core operational growth. Adjusted revenue in Banking grew 3% year-over-year, driven by steady recurring revenue. Capital Markets adjusted revenue also rose by 7%, reflecting substantial operating leverage and an advantageous revenue mix.
Despite an upbeat revenue beat, Markgraff noted that higher capital expenditures—partly from vendor pricing pressures—dampened immediate market response to the results. The outlook suggests strong momentum, particularly in Capital Markets, though Banking growth is expected to settle closer to the lower to midpoint of its projected range.
Goldman Sachs: Nance noted that FIS outperformed the S&amp;P with a 67 basis point rise, as investors seemed reassured by consistent performance and reaffirmed medium-term targets. Despite anticipated increases in third-party vendor costs impacting capital expenditures, management expressed confidence in maintaining cash flow in 2025. While Worldpay is no longer central to FIS&#8217; strategy, its EMI continues positively impacting EPS. Operationally, FIS saw strong execution with several key customer wins in the Asia-Pacific region, reinforcing confidence in its execution.
Looking ahead, Nance views FIS as a reliable, defensively positioned investment with moderate revenue growth and steady EPS growth, enhanced by capital returns and efficient margin management. He raised the price target, reflecting peer valuation adjustments driven by FIS&#8217; continued positive performance trajectory.
Price Action: FIS stock is down 3.21% at $86.82 at last check Tuesday.

Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) stock is trading lower on Tuesday. Bank of America expects the stock to experience some volatility after the company&#8217;s striking machinists voted to approve the plane maker&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41736062/boeing-workers-end-seven-week-strike-by-accepting-new-contract-with-major-pay-increases">latest labor contract proposal</a>.
What To Know: The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) voted to ratify Boeing&#8217;s labor proposal on Monday, with 59% of the votes in favor of the deal.
In a new note to clients on Tuesday, BofA analyst Ronald Epstein said recently appointed Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg &#8220;added another check to the &#8216;Boeing Turnaround&#8217; list&#8221; by bringing an end to what had been a 53-day strike. Although Epstein is optimistic about the news, he cautioned that a return to normal operations could still take a while. 
&#8220;While the strike ending and workers returning to the shopfloor is a meaningful step in the right direction, ramping back up will take time,&#8221; the BofA analyst said. 
Epstein pumped the brakes on Boeing&#8217;s production ramp, noting that some employees will have to go through retraining sessions after returning to work by Nov. 12.
The offer included a 38% wage increase over four years, enhanced retirement contributions and improved health benefits. Union members also gained flexibility in receiving their one-time $12,000 ratification bonus, with options to allocate it toward their paycheck, 401(k) or a combination of the two.
&#8220;While the full impact of the strike and how quickly production restarts remain to be determined we leave our estimates unchanged and maintain our Neutral rating. However, we do expect to see some volatility in Boeing&#8217;s share price,&#8221; the analyst said.

Peering Into Bright Horizons Family's Recent Short Interest

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday following weak third-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730393/cleveland-cliffs-q3-earnings-revenue-eps-miss-on-weaker-demand-and-pricing-shares-slide" rel="noreferrer noopener">results reported on Tuesday</a>.
The company reported third-quarter revenue of&nbsp;$4.57 billion, versus&nbsp;estimates&nbsp;of $4.77 billion, and adjusted loss per share of $0.33, versus estimates for a loss of $0.27.
Cleveland-Cliffs lowered its capital expenditures outlook for full year 2024 from a range of $650 million to $700 million to a new range of<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> $600 million to $650 million</a>.
In the earnings press release, the company said Stelco&#8217;s assets are well-capitalized, and it expects to benefit from the company&#8217;s cost advantages and strong business model on day one. Cleveland-Cliffs noted Stelco&#8217;s business has &#8220;virtually no exposure&#8221; to the automotive sector.&nbsp;
B Riley Securities analyst Lucas N. Pipes says that based on management&#8217;s earlier comments, they previously projected $985 million for 2025 and anticipate insights on the significant reductions.
The analyst adds that Cliffs&#8217; acquisition of Stelco was finalized on November 1, and they are eager to hear management&#8217;s thoughts on the integration process, potential synergies, debt reduction, and product mix.
Also, the analyst anticipates updated insights from management regarding the timeline for the integration process of the Stelco acquisition and the complete realization of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39770873/cleveland-cliffs-doubles-down-on-steel-with-2-5b-acquisition-expects-120m-in-annual-savings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$120 million in cost synergies</a>.
The analyst maintains the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CLF/analyst-ratings">Buy rating and $21 price forecast.</a>
KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Philip Gibbs writes that Cleveland-Cliffs reported EBITDA of $124 million for the quarter, compared to their estimate of $134 million. The slight shortfall in steel volumes appears to be linked to adjustments in automotive production and inventory.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>) and&nbsp;VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLX#NYSE">SLX</a>).
Price Action: CLF shares are down 10.3% at $11.76 at the last check Tuesday.

A win for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris could have implications for many sectors, including technology and electric vehicles, making the outcome of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election</a> important for investors.
A group of Wedbush analysts outlines the implications for the technology sector in light of Tuesday's election.
2024 Election Being Closely Watched: Wedbush analysts Daniel Ives, John Katsingris, Steven Wahrhaftig, and Sam Brandeis share their thoughts on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the technology sector</a> ahead of the 2024 election and what a win by either Trump or Harris could mean.
"U.S. Elections here with implications for tech on the table," the analysts said.
Technology investors are worried about the global implications of a Trump win with the potential for increased tariffs that could create tensions between the U.S. and China in the technology sector, the analyst said.
"Tonight the Street and tech world will be watching election results with white knuckles as there are many policy dynamics in the Beltway that will impact the tech sector looking ahead."

</ul>
What a Trump Win Means: The analysts said a Trump win could create major changes in tariffs and could impact the overall technology supply chain.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) are highlighted in the report as companies that could be negatively impacted by the possibility of retaliatory impacts from China.
The analysts said a Trump win could "slow the pace of the AI revolution."
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan is another critical figure to monitor, as she has exerted pressure on major tech companies and may advocate for breakups. The analysts said Khan is likely out with a Harris win, but could remain in the position if Trump wins.
The analysts added that Congressional races on Election Day could impact the chance of major policy changes for Big Tech regardless of who wins the White House. A GOP sweep of the White House and Congress could be bullish for the overall stock market but negative for Big Tech stocks.
"From a Big Tech/AI trade perspective we view overall a Harris White House win as more bullish on the margins and a Trump win as a net negative for Big Tech."
Given Elon Musk&#8217;s support for the former present, one of the big questions is whether a Trump win could be good for Tesla.
"We believe a Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry as likely the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled, however for Tesla we see this as a potential positive with some caveats."
The analysts said Tesla's size and scale could help the company without tax incentives, and it could have a "clear competitive advantage" with competitors losing subsidies and the potential of higher tariffs on Chinese companies.
"Higher China tariffs that would continue to push away cheaper EV players (BYD, Nio, etc.) from flooding the US market over the coming years."
What a Harris Win Means: A win in the 2024 election by Harris could be a positive for the electric vehicle sector, the analysts said.
"If Harris wins we would expect the EV tax credits to remain the same and ultimately increase in 2025 as the goal to get more US consumers towards EVs would be a laser focus in a Harris Administration," the analysts said.
General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) are named as companies that could benefit from a Harris win as they are betting heavily on electric vehicles and need the growth to continue.
The analysts said a Harris win could be neutral or slightly negative for Tesla.
Musk heavily supporting Trump in the election could have "negative consequences" in the future, the analysts said.
"For now, the ‘Musk betting on Trump bet' has seen a limited negative impact on demand in the U.S. although clearly this political dynamic could impact some customers to go away from Tesla when buying decisions ultimately come around over the next year."
