Among the items shared at the investor day were goals of mid-teen operating margins, 10% average annual EPS growth and $3 billion to $5 billion in annual free cash flow over the next three to five years. 
Delta could also be seeing interest with the new White House administration being ushered in. Delta CEO Ed Bastian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42106369/delta-chief-says-trump-could-be-a-breath-of-fresh-air-for-aviation-industry">recently said</a> President-elect Donald Trump could provide a "breath of fresh air" for the airline sector after years of "overreach." The Biden administration passed various regulations that protected airline consumers, including automatic refunds after canceled flights and a requirement for airlines to disclose all additional fees and taxes upfront.
Delta also announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42095549/delta-will-serve-shake-shack-burgers-as-airline-continues-catering-to-first-class">will start serving</a> Shake Shack burgers to first-class passengers on some flights.

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>): The cryptocurrency company is seeing strong interest as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continues to smash through new all-time highs and near the $100,000 level. 
The rising valuation of other cryptocurrencies could also help offset concerns from Coinbase's recently reported third quarter, which saw revenue and earnings per share miss Street estimates. Trading volume and transaction revenue were down 18% and 27% quarter-over-quarter respectively in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41637702/coinbase-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-transaction-revenue-falls-from-q2">the third quarter</a>. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">pro-crypto</a> stance of the incoming Trump administration also boosted interest in cryptocurrency-related companies like Coinbase.
Coinbase stock was up on the week, but trailed the 9.5% gains of Bitcoin. Coinbase stock is up 93.5% year-to-date in 2024, also trailing the year-to-date 122.5% gains for Bitcoin.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) stock is trading higher on Friday. On Wednesday the company announced that it submitted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42111748/super-micro-computer-stock-is-rallying-thursday-whats-going-on">a compliance plan to Nasdaq.</a>
The Details: Super Micro, in the compliance plan, said it believes it will be able to file both its 2024 fiscal-year earnings and its 2025 fiscal-year first-quarter earnings within Nasdaq&#8217;s acceptable discretionary time.
Previously, the company reported that it was unable to file its earnings on time for multiple reasons, including the resignation of its previous independent accounting firm, Ernest &amp; Young. The company also explained that its management team needs to time to review the company&#8217;s financial statements and internal controls. 
On Monday the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42111748">announced</a> that it has appointed BDO USA as its independent auditor.
"BDO is a highly respected accounting firm with global capabilities.&nbsp;This is an important next step to bring our financial statements current, an effort we are pursuing with both diligence and urgency," said&nbsp;Charles Liang, president and CEO of SuperMicro.
How To Buy Super Micro Computer Stock
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Super Micro Computer &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Looking At YPF's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Donald Trump is back and so is the boom for Palantir (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) – and a couple of its early founders are reaping the benefits. Joe Lonsdale and Stephen Cohen, Peter Thiel&#8217;s close associates, joined the billionaire club thanks to a massive rise in Palantir&#8217;s stock value following Trump's reelection. They own only a small slice of the company – less than 2% each – but it&#8217;s more than enough to make them new billionaires.

Palantir, the secretive software company known for its work with government agencies, has seen its stock price shoot up more than 270% this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42094248/trumps-return-boosts-palantir-national-security-bets-drive-140-billion-market-cap">partly because of Trump's victory</a> and the expectation of increased defense spending. With deep ties to government contracts and projects that align well with Trump's priorities, investors seem to be betting big on Palantir's future.
Joe Lonsdale, who left Palantir in 2009, still holds about a 1% stake in the company, which Forbes estimates is worth roughly $1 billion. Lonsdale, who's been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/06/39557155/palantir-co-founders-thiel-lonsdale-back-trump-in-2024-election-id-rather-have-him-than-biden">vocal about his support for Trump's reelection</a>, called this moment &#8220;morning again in America&#8221; and tweeted, &#8220;Daddy&#8217;s Home.&#8221; Through his venture firm 8VC, he's invested in other defense and software companies, solidifying his role as a key figure.

Stephen Cohen, who's still president of Palantir, owns about 1.5% of the company's shares. He and Lonsdale worked closely with Peter Thiel, Palantir's better-known cofounder and were part of Thiel's inner circle during the company&#8217;s early days. Both men – in their early forties – now have significant fortunes due to their involvement in the company, all thanks to their early involvement and the recent surge in its value.
Palantir's recent stock jump hasn't just benefited Lonsdale and Cohen. The two other cofounders, <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">Peter Thiel</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40437321/palantirs-alex-karp-defends-military-partnerships-stands-firm-on-pro-western-stance-report">Alex Karp</a>, have been billionaires for quite some time now.

The fact that Palantir&#8217;s most recent earnings report outperformed analyst estimates has only raised the excitement.
However, the business has its detractors, as some analysts question Palantir&#8217;s exorbitant price. With its market cap now higher than many of its peers in the tech sector and at 55 times its annual revenues, CEO Alex Karp and cofounder Thiel, who have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41063577/peter-thiel-offloads-over-1b-in-palantir-stock-in-2024-as-stock-more-than-doubles">selling chunks of their stock</a> since Trump's win, haven't exactly calmed these fears. Still, Palantir's unique role as a government contractor and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41936392/whats-going-on-with-palantir-stock-after-renewing-collaboration-with-rio-tinto">commercial AI leader</a> keeps it in the spotlight.

'Daddy's Home' – Palantir Creates Two New Billionaires After Trump's Win. Both Own Less Than 2% Stock And Are Thiel's Favorites

Jack Mallers, CEO of payment platform Strike, has made a powerful case for the United States to embrace Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42121376/strategic-bitcoin-reserve-wouldnt-require-new-taxpayer-dollars-says-sen-cynthia-lummis">strategic reserve asset</a>.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://x.com/jackmallers/status/1859608923344421177">interview</a> with CNBC on Thursday, Mallers compared the potential adoption of Bitcoin by the U.S. government to pivotal moments in economic history, including Nixon's departure from the gold standard in 1971.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Vision For Bitcoin As A National Asset</h3>
Mallers argued that Bitcoin's decentralized and transparent nature aligns perfectly with American values such as equal rights and open opportunity. 
He described Bitcoin as &#8220;an asset that was accessible to the people 15 years ago, that the people own. Governments only own 2, 3, 4% of this asset.&#8221;
According to Mallers, embracing Bitcoin is a way for the U.S. to remain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42098407/donald-trump-reportedly-eyeing-the-first-crypto-focused-role-in-the-white-house">competitive and innovative</a>.
"It acts in the best interest of the public. It's pro jobs, it's pro energy, it's pro industry, it's pro growth," he said. 
Highlighting the national debt crisis, Mallers rhetorically asked, &#8220;Does anyone else have a plan to get us out of debt? Are we going to start a lemonade stand out here in Times Square? No. How about the best-performing asset in the history of mankind?&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Missed Opportunities And Future Growth</h3>
Mallers dismissed the notion that people are &#8220;too late&#8221; to invest in Bitcoin, calling it a distraction rooted in comparison to early adopters. 
"People think they're late to Bitcoin. I don't understand that. Late according to who? Over the last 15 years, the best thing you could have done is buy Bitcoin," he said. 
Mallers went on to assert that this would hold true for the &#8220;next 1,500 years.&#8221;
With the U.S. national debt ballooning and global competitors embracing Bitcoin, Mallers emphasized the urgency of acting now. 
"As a country, I think we have a choice. I think the worst thing we can do is not own enough," he warned. 
He urged the U.S. to support its homegrown crypto businesses, saying, "Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) is an American company, Strike is an American company, Kraken is an American company. Let's support these businesses, let's support this industry."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pro-Growth And Pro-Innovation</h3>
Mallers aligned Bitcoin adoption with the values of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42122348/trumps-planned-crypto-council-may-oversee-bitcoin-reserve-report">incoming U.S. administration</a>, which he sees as an opportunity to drive growth and innovation.
"As this new administration takes office, we have to make a decision. To de-risk this, we should buy some Bitcoin and push American ideals in technology and innovation through the best-performing asset and technology in mankind," he said.

Just hours after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42119848/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-nomination-calls-sex-trafficking-controversy-a-distraction">withdrew</a> from consideration for attorney general, President-elect Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42130207/trump-picks-former-florida-ag-pam-bondi-for-justice-department-after-matt-gaetz-withdraws">announced his new nominee</a>: former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. 
The selection shifts the spotlight to Bondi's record, especially her stance on cannabis reform, which contrasts starkly with Gaetz's pro-legalization views.
Despite the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42026047/gaetz-nomination-in-peril-due-to-gop-resistance">unsavory allegations</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42119848/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-nomination-calls-sex-trafficking-controversy-a-distraction"> </a>against Gaetz's personal behavior, he&#8217;s been an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/07/33127611/rep-matt-gaetz-wants-to-end-cannabis-testing-for-us-military-citing-recruitment-crisis">advocate for cannabis reform</a> and was expected to adopt a lenient approach toward legalization if appointed. In contrast, Bondi had a tougher stance on medical marijuana during her tenure as Florida's Attorney General (2011-2019).
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Bondi While Florida&#8217;s AG</h1>
For example, in 2013, Bondi&#8217;s office <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/florida-medical-marijuana_n_4159849">filed a 57-page challenge</a> to the proposed ballot initiative that was seeking to put medical marijuana (MMJ) on the ballot the following year. Once medical marijuana was approved, she defended state laws restricting cannabis use, including a ban on publicly smoking it. Bondi argued at the time that the ban was justified due to concerns over secondhand smoke exposure. 
A state judge later ruled the ban to be inconsistent with Florida's constitutional amendment that legalized medical cannabis in 2014. The restriction was eventually overturned under Gov. Ron DeSantis who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39346531/desantis-cant-get-past-the-odor-of-weed-to-smell-the-flowers-specifically-430m-annually-in-canna">went on the warpath</a> against smoking in public.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Drug Addiction Commission</h1>
Bondi's role on Trump's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis during his first term in the White House could further complicate her position on cannabis. 
The commission, which was chaired by former New Jersey Gov. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chris-christie">Chris Christie</a>, was skeptical about cannabis as a treatment for chronic pain or opioid addiction, citing studies suggesting a potential link between marijuana use and opioid abuse. Authoritative <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36578723/huge-study-reveals-cannabis-provides-similar-pain-relief-benefits-as-opioids-without-negative-co">studies</a> have since shown the contrary to be the case.
Though Bondi's track record has raised concerns among some cannabis reform advocates, industry leader Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>), described Bondi on X as "straightforward and very fair," <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/trumps-new-attorney-general-pick-opposed-legalizing-medical-marijuana-in-florida/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.
"She is passionate about ending the opioid crisis and did great work shutting down pill mills in Florida. She is an advocate for safe, regulated markets and I believe she will bring the same energy to end the fentanyl issues our country is facing," Rivers said.
