<p>Observers will be closely watching the stock for signs of a recovery following a July IT outage — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870313/microsoft-crowdstrike-issue-caused-largest-it-outage-in-history-showing-how-much-we-depend-on-a-hand">one of the largest in history</a>. </p>
<p><strong>Earnings Estimates:</strong> CrowdStrike has beaten analyst revenue estimates in more than 10 straight quarters.</p>
<p>Analysts expect the company to report third-quarter earnings per share of 81 cents, versus 82 cents in last year's third quarter. The company has beaten analyst earnings per share estimates in more than 10 straight quarters.</p>

<p><strong>What Analysts Are Saying: </strong>Investor attention will be on CrowdStrike's recovery from its July 19 outage, Rosenblatt analyst Catherine Trebnick said in a new investor note.</p>
<p>The analyst reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $325 to $385.</p>
<p>"Our channel checks suggest that customers remain confident in the company and are not stepping away," Trebnick said.</p>
<p>Trebnick said CrowdStrike could show "modest upside" from quarterly estimates and raise guidance.</p>
<p>"Some renewals may be delayed, but overall customer retention appears strong."</p>
<p>Guidance and the litigation overhang are key items being watched by WestPark Capital&#8217;s Paul Rodriguez. The analyst has a Hold rating and no price target. Future revenue can be impacted by customer discounts being used to help offset customer complaints about the July outage.</p>
<p>"Our checks suggest CRWD has not suffered much customer churn but CrowdStrike has had to make concessions to its clients base," Rodriguez said.</p>
<p>The analyst said there are concerns about heavy discounting being done in the field.</p>
<p>A litigation overhang mainly revolves around<strong> Delta Air Lines</strong>, is also a concern for the analyst after Delta decided to move forward with legal action.</p>
<p>"If other companies move further with litigation against CrowdStrike post the Delta news remains to be seen but this scenario does pose a risk to CrowdStrike shares."</p>
<p><strong>Key Items to Watch</strong>: CrowdStrike said second-quarter annual recurring revenue was up 32% year-over-year. This remains a key item for investors to watch on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The company said the July outage inspired a renewed focus on becoming a "more customer-obsessed CrowdStrike." </p>
<p>Cybersecurity remains a key theme going forward with companies increasing focus and spending on this category. Aside from the July outage recovery, new products and commentary on customer spending will be big items to watch for investors.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> CrowdStrike stock is down 2% to $363.80 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $200.81 to $398.30. CrowdStrike stock is up 47% year-to-date.</p>

Peloton Interactive Unusual Options Activity For November 25

<p>The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/drug-enforcement-administration">Drug Enforcement Administration</a> (DEA) has denied accusations of improper communication with cannabis prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) during the Biden administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-rescheduling">marijuana rescheduling process</a>.</p>
<p>In a recent filing <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-says-it-didnt-conspire-with-anti-marijuana-group-dismissing-allegedly-illegal-talks-as-gossip/">reported</a> by Marijuana Moment, the agency dismissed these allegations as "gossip." While the DEA admitted to the communication, it argued they were no unlawful ex parte and that no harm was done and therefore, the motion by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41726679/village-farms-is-only-cannabis-operator-selected-to-represent-weed-industry-at-dea-rescheduling-"> Village Farms International</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFF#NASDAQ">VFF</a>) and <strong>Hemp for Victory</strong> should be dismissed.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Allegations Of Misconduct</strong></h3>
<p>Part of the accusations stem from social media posts by SAM president and CEO <strong>Kevin Sabet</strong>.</p>
<p>In a post May 6, 2024 on X, Sabet admitted to having conversations with &#8220;two confidential sources inside DEA.&#8221; Sabet said these discussions provided inside information about the agency's stance on marijuana rescheduling, including a claim that DEA Administrator<strong> Anne Milgram</strong> would not approve a proposed rule.</p>
<p>This post was presented as evidence by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis</a> advocacy groups to support their broader claim that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dea-cannabis">the DEA</a> holds a contradictory position, alleging the agency is acting as both judge and participant in the cannabis rescheduling process.</p>
<p>The post by Sabet admitting to the conversations with insider sources is still on X. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>DEA's Defense</strong></h3>
<p>According to the DEA's filing, the cannabis organizations' evidence is not proof of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42144540/dea-slammed-over-unlawful-talks-with-cannabis-opponents-the-plot-thickens">misconduct</a>. &#8220;Movants' own evidence fails to demonstrate that any unlawful ex parte communication took place," the agency said. A movant is any party that makes a motion in a case.</p>
<p>The DEA flatly rejected accusations of bias or impropriety, emphasizing that the submitted evidence amounts to little more than hearsay. </p>
<p>"The Movants would have this tribunal embark on a fishing expedition in search of evidence to support these sweeping, unsupported claims, which at best can be categorized as gossip, not ex parte communications," the DEA stated.</p>
<p>It also dismissed calls for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42144540/dea-slammed-over-unlawful-talks-with-cannabis-opponents-the-plot-thickens">agency's removal </a>from the rescheduling process, arguing that there is no legal precedent for such action. </p>
<p>"The only authority cited by the Movants on this point simply supports the notion that specific individuals may be removed from the proceeding under the appropriate circumstances," per the filing.</p>
<p>Additionally, the DEA pointed out that no misconduct has been alleged against its attorneys involved in the proceedings, further undermining the motion's validity.</p>
<p>As a consequence, the DEA requested the motion's dismissal. "The tribunal correctly questions the seriousness of the remedies sought by the Movants and as such, should deny the motion," the agency concluded. </p>

What's Going On With Zoom Video Stock Today?

<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong>'s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) recent rally could face a sharp downturn, with a prominent trader warning of a potential correction if the cryptocurrency fails to break the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap/24/11/42171130/russell-2000-dow-sp-500-all-achieve-record-highs-in-wall-streets-historic-day-bitcoin-gold-tumble-whats-driving-markets-monday">$100,000 resistance level.</a></p>
<p>The <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1860409141677662707">forecast</a>, which points to a drop as low as $85,600 in a worst-case scenario, comes as Bitcoin shows signs of a cooling rally after nearing the critical $100,000 milestone. </p>
<p>On Nov. 23, chart analyst Ali Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1860409141677662707">flagged</a> a bearish signal on Bitcoin's 12-hour chart using the TD Sequential indicator.</p>
<p>Ali predicted that Bitcoin could correct to $91,583, with a deeper drop to $85,610 if selling pressure intensifies.</p>
<p>The apex crypto is trading around $94,660 at the time of writing, down 1.6% over the past 24 hours.</p>

<p>Altcoins such as <strong>Ripple </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) and <strong>Dogecoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) are down over 5%, while <strong>Solana</strong>'s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), <strong>Ether </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), <strong>Cardano</strong>'s <strong> </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) and <strong>Binance</strong>'s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>) fell between 2% and 5%.</p>
<p>This market-wide retreat caused the overall crypto market capitalization to decline by 2.4%.</p>
<p>The volatility also hit crypto-tracked futures, with over $400 million liquidated in both long and short positions.</p>
<p>According to Coinglass <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData">data</a>, $283 million in bullish bets and $156 million in bearish bets were wiped out over the past 24 hours. </p>
<p>Interestingly, small altcoins and midcap futures saw higher liquidation volumes than Bitcoin and Ether, suggesting increased risk-taking among traders.</p>
<p>The market correction comes against the backdrop of deteriorating sentiment in the cryptocurrency industry as Bitcoin failed to break <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42163156/why-bitcoins-rally-is-stalling-below-100000">the $100,000 threshold</a>.</p>

<p>The <strong>Benzinga Future of Digital Assets</strong> event featured a panel on NFTs and the metaverse, sparking discussions about their long-term potential despite current skepticism. Post panel, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42138947/bitcoin-zeroes-in-on-100000-but-this-indicator-signals-one-more-brief-correction"><strong>Ian Horne</strong>, head of content </a>for <strong>Money20/20 Amsterdam</strong>, shared his perspective on how these technologies may evolve and gain broader acceptance over time.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Moving Beyond Skepticism</h1>
<p>Horne acknowledged the criticism NFTs and the metaverse have faced in recent years, often due to unrealistic expectations and failed projects. But, he argued that their core concepts remain relevant for the future of digital interaction.</p>
<p>"These concepts have been derided rightly for failures in recent years," Horne said, "but long term, the idea of a metaverse becoming a thriving idea, and NFTs being important to identity and how we relate to others online, is completely still valid."</p>
<p>The panel conversation, which included <strong>Alex Salnikov</strong> of Rarible, delved into how practical applications of NFTs and metaverse technology could reshape online experiences. Horne emphasized that discussing these ideas in a grounded way helps audiences better understand their potential.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Adoption Through Integration</h1>
<p>Addressing skepticism, Horne explained that widespread adoption of these technologies would likely happen when seamlessly integrated into daily activities without being labeled as NFTs or metaverse applications. </p>
<p>"I think the real adoption of these things is going to happen when we don't talk about it like it being the metaverse or like it being an NFT," he said. Instead, users will engage with digital tools like tokens or online marketplaces without understanding the underlying technology.</p>
<p>Horne stressed the focus should shift to the value these technologies add rather than their technical definitions. "When we're talking about the value add and not the technology, that's when I think we're nailing it," he added.</p>
<p>The panel discussion at the event reflected a broader sentiment that while challenges remain, the long-term promise of NFTs and the metaverse lies in their ability to integrate seamlessly into the digital world and shape how individuals interact online.</p>

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With CMG

<p><em>Editor&#8217;s note: This article has been updated to clarify that the Czech government approved a draft bill regarding cannabis cultivation rather than having legalized marijuana cultivation and possession of 50 grams as was previously reported.</em></p>
<p>The Czech government recently proposed a draft law that would reform criminal law regarding cannabis, with changes including relaxed rules on home cultivation and possession. The draft law now needs to be viewed by both chambers of Parliament.</p>
<p> During a press conference, Justice Minister <strong>Pavel Blažek</strong> spoke about raising and favoring financial penalties over imprisonment for cannabis offenses.</p>
<p>"Our punishment system is outdated and diverging from the rest of the EU, which is obviously not good," Blažek said, <a href="https://www.echo24.cz/a/H5KfB/zpravy-vlada-schvalila-novela-trestniho-zakoniku-ministr-spravedlnosti-pavel-blazek-vezeni-konopi-tresty">reported</a> Echo24, according to translation.</p>
<p>Under the proposed changes, which could take months to be approved, cultivating up to three cannabis plants and possessing up to 50 grams outside the home and 25 grams inside would be legal. Cultivating four to five plants would be treated as a minor offense, but anything more than that would be considered criminal activity.</p>
<p>The opposition Pirate Party argued that the proposal is inadequate because allowing cultivation of several plants does not permit their harvest, as three plants could yield up to 300 grams.</p>
<p>"Instead of legalization and additional revenue for the budget, the government presents a botched proposal," said former Deputy Prime Minister and ex-leader of the Pirate Party <strong>Ivan Bartoš.</strong> "You can grow cannabis, but you can't harvest it. Allowing the cultivation of three cannabis plants while limiting possession to 50 grams at home is absurd. It's like being allowed to keep three hens, but if they lay more than one egg, you face a fine or jail time."</p>
<p>Bartoš further argued that proposal is complicating the situation for up to 600,000 medical marijuana patients. The Pirate Party plans to propose increasing the legal possession limit to 900 grams.</p>
<p>The government wants to implement the approved changes before the end of its term.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Recent Calls For Regulated Cannabis Market</strong></h2>
<p>The news comes several months after the governing coalition confirmed it supports cannabis cultivation, but not the establishment of a regulated marijuana market. At the same time, former National Drug Coordinator <strong>Jindřich Vobořil</strong> shared he doesn't believe that the game is over for full legalization and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40626067/full-cannabis-legalization-not-yet-off-the-table-in-czech-republic-some-lawmakers-want-only-home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">continues to push for it</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a recent study conducted by the researchers from the Faculty of Business Economics at the University of Prague concluded that the country could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40879273/this-european-country-could-lose-242m-a-year-if-it-doesnt-regulate-its-marijuana-market-study-fi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing out on hundreds of millions of euros </a>annually if it doesn&#8217;t establish a regulated marijuana market. As per the report a &#8220;comprehensive model,&#8221; incorporating self-cultivation, cannabis clubs and a fully commercial market, could result in "total net social benefits of CZK 5.5 billion (218 million euros; $242 million) per year.</p>
