What's Going On With Magnificent 7 Stocks?

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a critical vote of no confidence tomorrow (Dec. 4) after invoking Article 49.3 to pass a controversial 2025 austerity budget <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/france">without parliamentary approval</a>.
The move, designed to address France's soaring deficit with $42 billion in spending cuts and $21 billion in tax hikes, has polarized the fractured National Assembly. Marine Le Pen's National Rally and the leftist New Popular Front have united in opposition, calling for Barnier's ouster. In on interview on TV today, Barnier warned that if the motion succeeds, millions of French citizens could face economic instability, including rising interest rates and tax hikes, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/dec/03/france-no-confidence-motion-government-budget-michel-barnier-latest-updates">per</a> the Guardian.
A failure to secure support would result in Barnier's government being the shortest-lived in modern French history, he only took office in September, further destabilizing the eurozone. President Emmanuel Macron would then need to appoint a new prime minister to navigate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39657677/french-elections-take-a-surprising-turn-as-left-poised-for-victory-what-does-that-mean-for-the-marke">deeply divided parliament</a>.
France has often been a volatile market for foreign companies, but its size, manpower, favorable geographical position, and pole position in global tourism have made it a lucrative economy.
The following publicly listed companies have exposure to the French economy.
McDonald's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) has been operating in France since 1972. Since then, it has grown into a network of 1,485 restaurants — the most in Europe — generating billions in revenue. However, the franchise got caught evading taxes after a trade union asked the company to raise wages and introduce profit-sharing bonuses. Eventually, the firm <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/news/22/06/27724606/mcdonalds-agrees-to-settle-french-tax-case-for-1-3b-wsj">paid a $1.3 billion fine</a>.
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) opened its resort in Paris in 1992, growing it into one of the top attractions in Europe. Around 16.1 million tourists visited the park in 2023, generating $343 million in profits. The park is the largest single-site employer in the country, with 17,000 workers — making it prone to strikes that last occurred in 2023. Despite its popularity, the park has been a problematic part of Disney's portfolio and is often a drain on its resources.
IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) has a long-standing relationship with France as one of the IT pioneers that expanded overseas seeking foreign talent.  Nowadays, IBM has over 7,000 employees in the country, working on technology services, cloud computing, AI and digital transformation solutions for businesses.
Carmaker Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) has a vital presence in the country, owing to its origins in the French PSA Group. It is the fourth largest automotive firm by sales, managing established brands like Citroen, Peugeot and DS Automobiles. Stellantis currently has five operating factories in different regions, producing at least 14 different models.
For investors monitoring broad exposure to domestically incorporated French companies there is iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>). It holds 60 largest French companies, including market leaders such as LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), Schneider Electric, TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) and Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>).

Key Stocks, ETF To Watch As French Government Faces No-Confidence Vote

Social media platform Threads, which is a part of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is rolling out new search tools as it looks to compete with X and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42156013/bluesky-adds-millions-of-users-as-elon-musks-social-media-platform-faces-exodus-post-trump-win-here-are-a-few-starter-packs-to-help-you-get-going-on-latest-x-rival">fast-growing competitor Bluesky.</a>
What Happened: Threads, which like Bluesky, has been trending and gaining new subscribers as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41872302/taylor-swift-fans-abandon-elon-musks-x-for-bluesky-how-trumps-election-victory-triggered-swifties-uprising">people look for </a>alternatives to Elon Musk's X platform.
The Meta-owned company announced new search tools, which include the option to refine searches by a profile and date range. The update will roll out globally over the coming weeks, <a href="https://www.threads.net/@threads/post/DDFkqNuPil1">according </a>to the company.
"We're making it easier for you to search for specific posts here," the company said.
While the new search tools still pale in comparison to ways to find posts on X, Threads can better compete with Bluesky, according to a <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/02/threads-takes-on-bluesky-with-more-advanced-search/">report </a>from TechCrunch.
On Bluesky, users can search by user profiles and date ranges.
Prior to the latest Threads update, the platform offered basic search functions like using a keyword and then narrowing results based on top results or recent results.

Why It's Important: In October, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Threads had around 275 million monthly users, averaging around one million signups daily.
Bluesky has also seen strong growth in recent months with users looking for alternates to X since the 2024 election. Bluesky had around nine million users in October and has grown to around 24 million users, according to the report.
Outside of the new search tools, Threads recently made changes that included users being able to choose their default feed.
The focus on new features could show how serious Meta is about growing Threads and/or come as Bluesky is growing in the sector.
"Engagement is growing too, so we continue to be on track towards this becoming our next major social app," Zuckerberg said in October of Threads.
At the time, Meta Chief Financial Officer Susan Li also said there were plans to bring more features to Threads given the growth potential.
&#8220;We&#8217;re very focused on continuing to build out the sort of functionality of Threads over time and being responsive to what users tell us that they&#8217;re interest in," Li said.
META Price Action: Meta Platforms stock hit an all-time high of $614.20 Tuesday before closing up 3.51% to $613.65. The stock is up 77% year-to-date in 2024.

Threads Takes On X, Bluesky With New Search Options: 'Making It Easier For You'

Pure Storage Enters Collaboration With Kioxia To Addresses The Growing Demand For Scalable Storage Infrastructure

Gamers are spending more time watching gaming content than actually playing games, according to a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/08/40403494/gaming-industry-shows-signs-of-recovery-in-2024-report">report.</a>
The study, conducted by Midia Research (<a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/new-report-claims-gamers-spend-more-time-watching-videos-about-gaming-than-playing-games">via</a> GamesIndustry.biz), reveals that gamers average 8.5 hours weekly watching game-related videos on platforms like Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (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>) YouTube and Twitch, compared to 7.4 hours actively gaming.

This trend presents a significant revenue opportunity for game publishers, the report suggests.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Shift Toward Gaming Video Content</h1>
Midia&#8217;s findings show the growing dominance of video content in the gaming world. About 24% of console and PC players, along with 48% of &#8220;in-game buyers,&#8221; regularly consume game-related content, with the latter group identified as &#8220;high-spending gamers.&#8221; These numbers signal an untapped market within the gaming ecosystem.
According to Midia, game publishers are losing potential revenue to third-party platforms, particularly in advertising. This loss is significant at a time when the gaming industry faces challenges to sustain growth.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Reclaiming Engagement and Revenue</h1>
"It's time for game publishers to think about in-game video as something beyond marketing alone," said Rhys Elliott, games analyst at Midia Research. 
&#8221;By reclaiming video engagement, publishers have the potential to unlock new revenue streams, like advertising and drive growth,&#8221; he added.

Gamers Now Watch More Than They Play — How Publishers Can Reclaim Lost Revenue: Report

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is set to release the highly anticipated second season of "Squid Game" and the show's director and star are sharing details ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/42199235/amazon-prime-vs-netflix-mrbeast-game-show-arrives-dec-19-squid-game-season-2-drops-1-week-later">Dec. 26 premiere.</a>
What Happened: Launched in 2021, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/squid-game">"Squid Game"</a> is the biggest series in Netflix history and turned into a pop culture phenomenon.
A second season hits the streaming platform on Dec. 26 and will be seven episodes, which is shorter than the nine in the first season.
Returning for the second season is the winner of the game in the first season, Seong Gi-hun (aka Player 456), portrayed on screen by Lee Jung-jae. Director and writer Hwang Dong-Hyuk also returns for the second season.
The second season features new characters and revolves around Gi-hun, who returns to the game three years after the competition to search for the people behind it and shut the game down for good, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/squid-game-season-2-explained-hwang-dong-hyuk-lee-jung-jae-1236189235/">Deadline</a>. 
Characters competing for the prize this time include a former cryptocurrency influencer who loses a large amount of money for his subscribers and himself. The crypto influencer becomes a fugitive before joining the Squid Game competition, according to the report.
Another one of the 400-plus contestants in the games is a woman who made bad investments following the advice of the same cryptocurrency influencer taking part in the games.
In the interview with Deadline, Director Hwang as he is known said there is "greater scale" to the second season and new games for the contestants.
"The games are one of the biggest changes as well as the characters because, except for Gi-Hun, all of the characters that play the games are new so you're going to be able to see more endearing characters that you end up rooting for," Hwang said.
Hwang said Gi-Hun's revenge factor is a key message in the second season, but humanity's quest for making the world a better place could be a bigger theme.
"Does humanity have what it takes to change the course of the world, and can we truly let go of our greed, our desires in order to create a better world together?"
The director said the series is also somewhat political given the current state of the world being divided.
"There are so many things that divide us today, whether it's race, religion, language, the haves and the have nots, the generational divisions, and recently, with the very important vote that you have this week, we look at the political division, the left against the right, the conservatives against the progressives, Hwang said speaking days before the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The director was asked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39538239/squid-game-to-get-an-english-remake-netflix-award-winning-director-could-make-it-happen-rep">about the report</a> that director David Fincher is working on an English-language version of "Squid Game" and said he doesn't know anything official about this, but respects the director's work.
"I like his films so if he does, I'm excited and I'll look forward to it."

The first season was nominated for 14 Emmy Awards and earned critical praise.
Following the second season, a third and final season of the hit show will release in 2025. Director Hwang said the second and third seasons were written at the same time and both were produced simultaneously. The third season is currently in the post-production process, the director said.
Expectations are high for Netflix and the second season and the release, which comes around the Christmas holiday, could be a major catalyst for the stock with shares already nearing 52-week highs.
Netflix will also stream two National Football League games on Christmas, the day before the release of "Squid Game" season 2. This gives Netflix one of the biggest weeks in streaming history and could have the company the talk of the town at family get-togethers and holiday celebrations.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock closed at $902.17 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $445.73 to $908. Shares are up 93% year-to-date in 2024.

Rush Enterprises Board Approves New Stock Repurchase Program Of Up To An Aggregate Of $150M Of Its Shares Of Class A Common Stock

The price of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/ripple-xrp-price-prediction"> XRP Token</a> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) from Ripple continues to climb thanks to optimism about the incoming White House administration and potential XRP ETFs, leading to the cryptocurrency recently flipping Tether and Solana to become the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42259460/xrp-beats-solana-to-become-4th-largest-crypto-by-market-cap-on-ripples-rlusd-approval-speculation"> third-largest crypto.</a>
What Happened: The price of XRP is up 87% over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42296482/xrp-price-explodes-415-in-30-days-experts-analyze-why-xrp-is-going-up">the last seven days,</a> hitting new one-month and one-year highs.
The price action could be pinpointed to the anticipation of new leadership at the SEC, a financial institution that has often clashed with Ripple. A new change could see XRP and other cryptos face less or no government resistance moving forward, minimizing risk for investors.
Cryptocurrency experts also told Benzinga that Ripple's partnerships with financial institutions could be the reason for the increase in cryptocurrency&#8217;s price. The filing of several XRP ETFs also has investors excited about a potential larger spotlight on the cryptocurrency and more ways for investors to gain exposure.
While XRP has hit new one-year highs of $2.86 in the last 24 hours and the cryptocurrency is up over 280% year-to-date, the price still trails an all-time high of $3.84 set back in January 2018.
Also happening in 2018 was a Ripple community event at the three-day Consensus conference that saw Snoop Dogg booked as the entertainer and performer for the Ripple community.
Snoop Dogg, who has supported the cryptocurrency sector and non-fungible tokens, performed at a private invitation-only Consensus after-party from Ripple Labs on May 15, 2018.
The performance in New York saw several media outlets <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2018/05/19/at-ripples-snoop-dogg-party-a-search-for-xrp">cover </a>Snoop Dogg's appearance and the fact that he did not talk about investing in cryptocurrency during his performance. Instead, the event was much like a celebration for the XRP community. Ripple previously said they did not pay Snoop Dogg with XRP tokens for his appearance.
While celebrities endorsing cryptocurrencies is nothing new, Snoop Dogg's appearance may have marked an opportune moment to consider buying XRP—though the rapper offered no direct investment advice during the event.

Investing $1,000 in XRP: Investors who learned about XRP for the first time with news of his appearance at the Ripple event, or thought that his appearance could signal optimism for the XRP token going forward may have considered buying the cryptocurrency.
A $1,000 investment at the high price of $0.7523 on May 15, 2018 could have bought 1,329.26 XRP. The $1,000 investment would be worth $3,429.49 today based on a price of $2.58 at the time of writing, up 242.9%.
XRP continues to be one of the most talked about cryptocurrency in recent months, and its continued strength and the potential approval of ETFs could lead to a higher price for the coin.

If You Invested $1,000 In XRP Token When Snoop Dogg Performed At Ripple Community Event At Consensus 2018, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Investing in stocks to buy that already surged over 100% in 2024 presents a complex challenge. On one hand, there&rsquo;s a natural reluctance to go against strong market momentum&mdash;a strategy that has often backfired for those attempting to predict a downturn, as seen with high-flyers like Tesla (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsla-stock-quote/">TSLA</a>) in the past and even former (or current?) meme stock giant Gamestop (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gme-stock-quote/">GME</a>). On the other hand, trying to capitalize on declining stocks and hoping for a rebound can be equally risky, as many investors have learned the hard way (just look to WeWork or Lordstown Motors for recent example).



However, these three stocks that have risen over 100% this year defy typical market skepticism. They are driven by robust bullish tailwinds and possess distinct attributes that shield them from broader market downturns. This suggests that despite their significant gains already, there may still be potential to benefit from their continued upward trajectory. Investing now could still offer a worthwhile opportunity to participate in their ongoing success despite their dramatic increases thus far.



<h2>AST SpaceMobile (ASTS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/asts1600-300x169.png" alt="Mobile global internet communications. World wide web on phone via wireless satellite network technology. Smartphone digital connection at clouds services of all earth. Holographic abstract interface. ASTS stock"><div>Source: Andrey Suslov / Shutterstock.com</div></div>AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/asts-stock-quote/">ASTS</a>) may be this year&rsquo;s big winner among surging stocks to buy. The space-based telecom stock, which aims to provide global data coverage to standard cell phones, popped more than 300% in the last month alone for a 104% gain year-to-date.



The stock&rsquo;s strong performance comes on the heels of two massive contracts with legacy telecom providers, AT&amp;T (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/t-stock-quote/">T</a>) and Verizon (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vz-stock-quote/">VZ</a>), to bring cell service to their respective clients across rural, remote, and otherwise unaddressed global market segments. The Verizon deal is worth <a href="https://spacenews.com/verizon-plots-100-million-direct-to-smartphone-satellite-investment/">$100 million</a>. In comparison, AT&amp;T&rsquo;s specific terms aren&rsquo;t disclosed &mdash; though it augments the telecom stock&rsquo;s January strategic investment worth <a href="https://spacenews.com/google-and-att-join-155-million-ast-spacemobile-investment/">$20 million</a> and a six-year history of working together to test and prototype the tech.



AST SpaceMobile also made major moves toward generating revenue after <a href="https://spacenews.com/google-and-att-join-155-million-ast-spacemobile-investment/">posting $500,000</a> in net sales for last March&rsquo;s quarter from government contracts. While certainly not spectacular, it marks an important pivot point toward profitability, and government contracting with the company is an important step toward wide revenue diversification.



<h2>Root (ROOT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/root-stock-man-holding-car-insurance-300x169.jpg" alt="ROOT Stock - Man holding car insurance"><div>Source: Jirsak / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Root (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/root-stock-quote/">ROOT</a>) has not only surpassed the 100% gain benchmark but more than tripled in 2024. The digital insurance provider, which targets auto, renters, and homeowners markets, is thriving due to its innovative use of AI in assessing client risk and optimizing premium pricing based on real-time driving data. This approach has significantly enhanced its ability to manage risks and reduce losses.



Root&rsquo;s bull run started following its <a href="https://ir.joinroot.com/static-files/801f4164-6734-46f3-afb3-b8dca108231e">end-of-year report</a>, in which Root achieved a 31% increase in gross written premiums, reaching $783 million, though its gross earned premiums saw a slight decline of 1% to $636 million. More impressively, the company managed to cut its net losses by half to $147 million, marking its most successful year to date. This turnaround caught the attention of analysts, leading Jefferies to <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/up-675-ytd-whats-behind-the-breakout-in-root-stock">quadruple its price target</a> and commend Root for charting a course toward profitable growth and scalability.



The market has responded enthusiastically to Root&rsquo;s advancements, propelling the stock up by 300% since the start of the year and an astonishing 661% over the past twelve months. While Root is still on its journey toward full profitability, its momentum is undeniable, making it a standout performer in the digital insurance sector and a contender for top stocks to buy today.



<h2>MediaCo (MDIA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/bank-lending-capital-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="hands at desk near laptop computer, with one hand holding a pile of hundred dollar bills. Bank stocks. stocks to buy"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/CC7</div></div>MediaCo (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mdia-stock-quote/">MDIA</a>), primarily known for its terrestrial radio and broadcasting operations, has defied expectations among stocks to buy with a staggering 300% surge since the beginning of the year. This dramatic increase largely stemmed from an influential move by hedge fund Standard General, which acquired a <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/04/why-is-mediaco-mdia-stock-up-74-today/">commanding 95% stake</a> in MediaCo. This significant acquisition verges on a complete takeover and signals a strong vote of confidence from hedge fund CEO Soohyung Kim, suggesting potential activist strategies to boost the stock&rsquo;s value.



This active involvement is already showing results. MediaCo recently announced its acquisition of Estrella Media, a strategic move that expands its reach into the Spanish-language demographic, a market with considerable growth potential. The appointment of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Hern%C3%A1ndez">interim CEO</a> Jacqueline Hernandez, a former executive at Telemundo and current board member of both Estrella and Victoria&rsquo;s Secret (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vsco-stock-quote/">VSCO</a>), further underscores MediaCo&rsquo;s commitment to this new audience. Hernandez&rsquo;s expertise in Spanish-language media could be pivotal in steering the company&rsquo;s strategy and maximizing its newfound momentum. With such robust gains barely halfway through the year, MediaCo&rsquo;s journey in 2024 could just be getting started, making it among the year&rsquo;s top stocks to buy already.
