Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) shares are trading<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> slightly higher on Thursday.</a>
Today, the company has agreed to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/ford-consent-order-165-million-civil-penalty" rel="noreferrer noopener">consent order</a> with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), including a civil penalty of $165 million for failing to meet federal recall requirements. This marks the second-largest civil penalty in NHTSA&#8217;s history, following the Takata airbag scandal.
The penalty stems from Ford&#8217;s delayed recalls of vehicles with defective rearview cameras and its failure to provide accurate and complete recall information, as required by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
&#8220;Timely and accurate recalls are critical to keeping everyone safe on our roads,&#8221; NHTSA Deputy Administrator Sophie Shulman said.&nbsp;
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, F stock has gained over 7% in the last year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXR#NASDAQ">FTXR</a>).

The settlement includes an upfront payment of $65 million, with an additional $55 million deferred and $45 million allocated for performance obligations.
As part of the consent order, Ford must take several actions to improve its recall processes and safety compliance. These include developing enhanced safety data analytics, creating a document interface platform for internal and NHTSA-initiated investigations, and building a multi-modal imaging test lab for low-voltage electronics.
Ford will also need to invest in a vehicle identification number-based traceability system to track components.
Additionally, Ford is required to review all recalls issued in the past three years and ensure they were properly scoped. The company must also improve its decision-making process for recall investigations, speed up recall decisions, and update its compliance policies.
NHTSA will oversee Ford&#8217;s compliance with the consent order, which lasts for three years, with the possibility of extension. The two parties will meet quarterly to ensure ongoing improvements. NHTSA emphasized that timely and accurate recalls are crucial to ensuring the safety of all road users.
Price Action: F shares are trading higher by 0.99% to $11.21 at last check Thursday.

International medical cannabis company IM Cannabis Corp.

The company reported revenue from Germany grew 66% year-over-year, reaching CA$5.8 million ($4.1 million).
&#8220;While the 66% growth we delivered in Germany, to reach $5.8M this quarter is a highlight, we spent the quarter focused on building a solid foundation for 2025,&#8221; said CEO Oren Shuster. &#8220;Our goal was to build a strong, consistent supply chain, along with a laser focus on how to improve the efficiency and accuracy of how we use our resources. I believe that the foundation we built this quarter will be the basis we will use to deliver in 2025.&#8221;

Senate Republicans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/41950681/trump-once-said-political-career-over-about-john-thune-now-senate-majority-leader-working-with-him-to-pass-gop-agenda">elected Sen. John Thune</a> of South Dakota as the new majority leader Wednesday, succeeding Sen. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mitch-mcconnell">Mitch McConnell</a> of Kentucky. Thune, who has consistently opposed marijuana legalization, has also criticized efforts to reschedule cannabis and expand the industry&#8217;s access to banking services.
In July, Thune joined fellow GOP lawmakers in a letter challenging the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38880719/biden-announces-monumental-marijuana-rescheduling-doj-to-take-next-steps">Biden administration&#8217;s proposal</a> to reclassify marijuana to Schedule III under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/controlled-substances-act">Controlled Substances Act</a>. The letter argued that the rescheduling lacked sufficient scientific evidence and was &#8220;irresponsible&#8221; given emerging research indicating significant health concerns associated with marijuana use.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Consistent Opposition To Cannabis Reform</h1>
Thune&#8217;s longstanding opposition to marijuana reform, coupled with his new leadership role, indicates there could be challenges ahead for cannabis legalization efforts at the federal level despite President-elect Donald <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40776937/trump-joins-millions-of-americans-who-support-rescheduling-cannabis-weed-industry-responds-to-fo">Trump's comments </a>in which he implied his support for federal cannabis legalization.
Read Also: <a href="EXCLUSIVE: Chris Christie Says Trump Will Remove Federal Restrictions On Marijuana, Find 'Sweet Spot' For Crypto Regulation (UPDATED)">Trump Nominates Another Cannabis Supporter To Cabinet: Rep. Matt Gaetz For Attorney General</a>
Thune's past statements and actions suggest he may continue to resist policy changes aimed at decriminalizing or rescheduling marijuana, as well as initiatives to facilitate banking services for the cannabis industry.
As the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/us/politics/trump-senate-thune-cornyn-scott.html">put it</a>, "Over the years, Mr. Thune has been no automatic yes man to Mr. Trump." But, in view of the president-elect's cabinet choices, which are heavy on yes-men and -women, Thune may fall into line with his colleagues.
That said, some in the cannabis industry are choosing to be optimistic.
"Despite Senator Thune's misguided opinions and policy positions on cannabis up to this point, we're confident that he is capable of evolving on this issue, as have the vast majority of Americans," <a href="https://norml.org/blog/2024/11/13/incoming-senate-majority-leader-has-long-history-opposing-marijuana-policy-reforms/">said</a> NORML political director&nbsp;<a href="https://norml.org/about-norml/staff#mfox">Morgan Fox</a>. 
"While it is extremely doubtful that comprehensive cannabis policy reform will be a priority in the Senate under his leadership, we're hopeful that his record as a level-headed lawmaker means that he will listen to evidence, experience, and the will of the American people, who&nbsp;<a href="https://norml.org/polls/">overwhelmingly want to see federal policy reform</a>." &nbsp;

Unilever PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading relatively flat on Thursday.</a>
The company is reportedly exploring the sale of some of its smaller food brands, including those based in the Netherlands, as part of a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37815586/chilling-changes-unilever-to-separate-iconic-ice-cream-brands-in-strategic-shake-up" rel="noreferrer noopener">strategic shift under CEO Hein Schumacher.</a>
The company is looking to streamline its portfolio and refocus on its key power brands, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the discussions.

Lithium Junior Miners News For The Month Of March 2024

Lithium Junior Miners News For The Month Of April 2024

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Whether you&rsquo;re a staunch environmentalist or an electric vehicle enthusiast, the current state of the lithium industry is concerning. That&rsquo;s because the lithium commodity&rsquo;s dreadful impact on landscapes and its lackluster performance. For investors, lithium was not always the most exciting play, after all, it supported the steady smartphone and rechargeable battery industry. Yet, in the past decade, novel electric vehicles hit the consumer market, causing the <a href="https://www.politico.eu/sponsored-content/why-is-lithium-so-important-to-the-transition-to-a-carbon-free-world/">lithium extraction sector to boom</a>. Now, after some correction in the market, there are some obvious <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/battery/lithium/">lithium stocks</a> to avoid in comparison to others.



With the profit margins of lithium extraction thinning, the mining companies that do not keep operating expenditures in check could be the first to go in the event of a broader market meltdown. Thus, investors may want to avoid investing in these three lithium stocks with slim prospects for the coming year.



<h2>Leo Lithium (LLLAF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium-300x169.jpg" alt="a lithium mine, ATLX stock. Lithium Stocks to Buy"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Leo Lithium (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lllaf-stock-quote/">LLLAF</a>) once represented a pure-play in <a href="https://www.leolithium.com/">West African lithium mining</a>, but as of May 8, its future seems uncertain. That&rsquo;s because its only mining operations focused on developing the Goulamina Lithium Project in Mali.&nbsp;



However, it has since announced the sale of its <a href="https://www.mining.com/web/leo-lithium-sells-mali-project-stake-to-ganfeng-for-342-million/">remaining 40% stake</a> in the project to its joint venture partner, Ganfeng Lithium (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gnenf-stock-quote/">GNENF</a>), the company seems to have left investors wanting. From the sale, the company will receive $342.7 million of which it will have to delegate $60 million to the Malian government to satisfy their original contract on the mine.



That last part seems to be what pushed Leo Lithium out of Mali, as the company had attempted to reach a &ldquo;viable agreement&rdquo; with Mali due to its new mining codes. Before the legal changes, the Malian government had a 20% stake with it now rising to 30% and an extra 5% going to a local Malian entity. With no clear mining replacement in sight, investors should consider LLLAF among lithium stocks to avoid.



<h2>Galan Lithium (GLNLF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/lithium1600-300x169.jpg" alt="lithium (LI) on the periodic table. top performing lithium stocks"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Sometimes the numbers can tell a cautionary tale without <a href="https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/GLN/02785539.pdf">much exciting news at all</a>. Such is the case with Galan Lithium (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLNLF#OTC">GLNLF</a>), which is seeing operating costs rise along with dropping revenue. Both the company&rsquo;s year-to-date and 12-month returns are significantly negative.



For example, if you had invested $1000 in gallon lithium at the beginning of 2024, you would only have $511 as a result of the company&rsquo;s stock losing 49.9% of its value in just five months.&nbsp;



These financials come despite the company&rsquo;s solid position in the Argentinian portion of the lithium triangle of South America. Galan Lithium touts these deposits are among the world&rsquo;s purest, yet hasn&rsquo;t turned a profit in the <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/GLN:ASX?sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjCi9KavICGAxVY8wIHHdo5DdcQ3ecFegQIIBAf">last four quarters</a>. As such, investors should put Galan Lithium on their list of lithium stocks to avoid until the company has solid profits to show for it.



<h2>Ganfeng Lithium (GNENF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/gnenf1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding mobile phone with logo of Chinese company Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd. (GNENF) on screen in front of web page. Focus on phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>A major player in the Chinese and global lithium markets, Ganfeng Lithium may have its work cut out for it. As previously mentioned, the company acquired the project stake of its partner, Leo Lithium for $342.7 million. This expenditure will likely cut into its short-term cash reserves but could prove tricky for the Chinese firm.



That&rsquo;s because the Malian government&rsquo;s new legal requirements and relative propensity for instability could result in a loss for Ganfeng. With <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/8/armed-groups-committing-atrocities-in-mali-hrw">armed gangs</a> terrorizing swaths of territory through Mali, the situation for miners and developers in the region could deteriorate rapidly.



Moreover, the European Union has decided to <a href="https://www.euractiv.com/section/defence-and-security/news/eu-not-renewing-mali-military-training-mission/">no longer support the mission</a> of training the Malian military. This will likely only worsen the conflict situation. Ultimately, investors might want to avoid Ganfeng until its lithium play in Mali matures.
