"Accenture, Microsoft Team Up To Give 'Meaningful' Security Boost Using AI Agents: Executive" - CRN

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) stock surged on Friday after Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMC/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">upgraded it from</a> Neutral to Outperform and raised its price forecast from $3 to $4.
Reese noted that AMC will benefit from a steadier film release schedule in the coming quarters, which should support consistent box office performance.
According to the analyst, the company is well-positioned to gain market share in 2025 and 2026, thanks to its ownership of the highest number of premium screens in North America and expansion efforts in the U.K. and EU.

She said AMC has repaid or deferred all debt due in 2026, easing near-term financial uncertainty.
Reese noted that the company is finishing its last major share issuance for the foreseeable future, removing a key overhang for investors.
In 2025, AMC plans to shut down unprofitable locations while investing in top-performing theaters. As per the analyst, these investments are already boosting revenue per screen, currently tracking 3% above 2019 levels.
Reese expects EBITDA to cover interest expenses, reducing AMC's need to issue more equity. Management has guided for flat year-over-year CapEx in 2025, indicating that theater upgrades require minimal spending.
Reese does not expect strong growth in 2025 or 2026. The theater industry remains low-growth and in recovery mode, she said. Over the next few years, the analyst projected mid-to-high single-digit growth in box office revenue, followed by low-to-mid single-digit gains thereafter.
She said AMC also has room to grow by expanding merchandise sales, improving concession revenue per customer, and leveraging its high fixed-cost model as overall revenue improves.
Reese revised her second-quarter estimates based on updated box office performance and adjusted our forward projections to reflect the latest industry trends.
North American box office for the second quarter reached 37.4%, ahead of her previous 27% estimate. The analyst estimated AMC captured 22.0% of that total, down 50 basis points year-over-year.
Reese changed her forecast of second-quarter revenue to $1.35 billion, up from her prior $1.25 billion estimate and above the $1.337 billion consensus. The analyst also raised her adjusted EBITDA estimate to $160 million, compared to $85 million previously and the $144 million Street forecast.
Looking ahead, she noted AMC is positioned to gain market share year-over-year, with more premium titles and IMAX content coming to theaters — where AMC leads with the largest IMAX and Dolby screen footprint.
AMC continues to generate $22–$23 in domestic revenue per attendee and about $16 internationally, both roughly 30% higher than pre-pandemic levels, Reese said.
AMC Price Action: AMC stock is up 9.83% at $3.30 at publication on Friday

AMC Stock Just Got Upgrade — Could Premium Screens, Box Office Momentum Signal A Comeback?

NIO Inc. &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">are rising on Friday</a>.
The company&#8217;s family-oriented sub-brand Onvo reportedly kicked off pre-sales for its new flagship SUV, the L90.
The launch positions Nio for a direct face-off with domestic rival Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), which is preparing to debut its first fully electric SUV, the Li i8, later this month, <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/07/11/nio-onvo-begins-pre-sales-l90/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports </a>CnEV Post.

Morgan Stanley analyst Tim Hsiao reiterated his Buy rating on Nio, with a $5.90 price target, citing the launch of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NIO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Onvo L90 electric SUV as a key catalyst.</a>
The L90 pre-sales began at a tech event in Hefei, home to Nio&#8217;s production facilities.
Onvo set an initial price of RMB279,900 ($39,000), including an 85-kWh battery — under CEO William Li&#8217;s previously stated RMB300,000 target and potentially even lower at official launch
The L90 is expected to undercut Li Auto&#8217;s upcoming Li i8 and its premium Li L9 model, which starts at RMB409,800, CnEV Post adds.
Onvo&#8217;s SUV will be available in six- and seven-seat variants, with a five-seat L80 version set to launch later this year. The
L90&#8217;s dimensions and conventional SUV styling reflect current Chinese consumer preferences and contrast with Li i8&#8217;s MPV-inspired design.
At the event, Nio&#8217;s CEO highlighted the L90&#8217;s energy efficiency and lightweight construction.
The SUV weighs between 2,250 kg and 2,385 kg, lighter than the Li i8, which ranges from 2,580 kg to 2,610 kg.
Nio also leverages its extensive charging infrastructure — over 3,400 battery swap stations and nearly 2,900 superchargers — to support the L90 rollout.
Showroom vehicles are already available across Onvo&#8217;s retail network, with official deliveries scheduled to begin Aug. 1.
This rapid deployment mirrors Li Auto&#8217;s efficiency in rolling out new models, suggesting NIO is keen on matching its rival&#8217;s speed and execution in the increasingly competitive EV market.
NIO Price Action: Nio shares are trading higher by 5.56% to $3.90 at publication on Friday.

The company recently reported that it has 1.65 million shares sold short, which is 5.44% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around Coherent?

Federal Signal shares are trading lower after KeyBanc downgraded the stock from Overweight to Sector Weight.

U.S. oil major Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) has seen its stock rise nearly 7% over the past month, fueled by a dual strategy of cost reduction and strategic investments in both traditional hydrocarbons and future-facing energy.
The company plans a $5 billion blue hydrogen and ammonia facility, &#8220;Project Labrador,&#8221; in Port Arthur, Texas, aiming for a 2027 groundbreaking and 2032 operation.
This project seeks funding through Texas&#8217; HyVelocity Hub and is strategically <a target="_blank" href="https://www.upstreamonline.com/hydrogen/chevron-plans-5-billion-blue-ammonia-plant-as-part-of-texas-hydrogen-hub/2-1-1844733" rel="noreferrer noopener">timed to qualify</a> for the lucrative 45V clean hydrogen production tax credit of up to $3 per kilogram, provided construction begins before January 1, 2028.

Simultaneously, Chevron is undergoing a significant restructuring to enhance efficiency and cut costs. This includes consolidating its offshore operations under a single global division, with centralized functions like HR, IT, and finance managed from hubs in the Philippines and Argentina. Vice Chairman Mark Nelson <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-09/chevron-shifts-from-regional-to-centralized-hubs-in-cost-cutting" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> Bloomberg this move aims to eliminate organizational complexity and accelerate execution.
This internal overhaul follows a February announcement to cut 20% of the global workforce and reduce expenses by $3 billion. While it coincides with Chevron&#8217;s pending <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41098199/ftc-clears-chevrons-53b-hess-merger-sets-restriction-for-john-hess" rel="noreferrer noopener">$53 billion acquisition</a> of Hess Corp., this broader push toward operational streamlining appears to be a strategic response to investor pressure for stronger returns, especially amidst ongoing oil price swings and uncertainty over fossil fuel demand.
Despite forecasts of peak oil demand before 2030, Chevron remains committed to traditional exploration and production. It has <a target="_blank" href="https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Chevron-Cuts-Layers-Eyes-Guyana-and-Growth.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">launched</a> drilling operations in Namibia, is expanding in Nigeria and Angola, and recently secured rights to explore nine offshore blocks in Brazil&#8217;s Foz do Amazonas basin. Its pursuit of Hess, Exxon&#8217;s partner in the prolific Guyana offshore Stabroek Block, further signals a bullish stance on the long-term value of hydrocarbons.
Chevron is also expanding its global presence through a $34 billion memorandum of understanding between U.S. and Indonesian entities. Reuters noted that the agreement, signed July 7, includes Chevron, Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), and Indonesia&#8217;s state-owned Pertamina. It covers broad energy and agricultural trade, including large purchases of U.S. crops like soybeans, corn, and cotton.
In an industry shaped by volatility, Chevron&#8217;s strategy reflects a dual-track approach: cutting costs while deepening investments across fossil fuels and future-facing energy projects.

MongoDB Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDB#NASDAQ">MDB</a>) is currently in Phase 10 of its 18-phase Adhishthana Cycle on the weekly chart. After peaking in November 2021, the stock has struggled to regain momentum, now down over 65% from its all-time highs in 2021, and showing no signs of a recovery.

MongoDB did follow this structure initially, forming a textbook Cakra and respecting the lower arc during its build-up. However, instead of breaking out to the upside in Phase 9, the stock broke down.
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">"When the underlying breaks the Cākra on the flip side, it typically draws consolidation up to the Guna triads. The movement after the break is typically highly significant, and the selling momentum is extremely strong. Such a move shall be called the Move of Pralayā." — Adhishthana: The Principles That Govern Wealth, Time &amp; Tragedy
</blockquote>
This breakdown marked the start of a bearish stretch. The principles suggest that after a Move of Pralaya, a meaningful recovery is unlikely before the stock completes Phase 13. MongoDB is currently in Phase 10, and Phase 13 is set to conclude by October 24, 2027.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Monthly Chart Adds to the Weakness</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="516" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/11054329/MongoDB-Monthly-Adhishthana-.png" alt="Fig.2 MongoDB Monthly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com Reports) " class="wp-image-15654" style="width:675px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/11054329/MongoDB-Monthly-Adhishthana-.png 1200w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/11054329/MongoDB-Monthly-Adhishthana--300x129.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/11054329/MongoDB-Monthly-Adhishthana--1024x440.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/11054329/MongoDB-Monthly-Adhishthana--768x330.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.2 MongoDB Monthly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com Reports) </figcaption></figure>
On the monthly chart, MongoDB is in its second half of Phase 2, known as the Buddhi Move zone. But since the Sankhya Period (the early segment of Phase 2) wasn't structurally sound according to the principles, the likelihood of a sustained rally from this point is low.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Outlook: Time to Stay Away</h3>
Given the long consolidation ahead and lack of structural strength, MongoDB is not a favorable pick for now. Existing shareholders may consider credit spread strategies to hedge against continued downside and slumps.
For new investors, it may be wise to stay on the sidelines until Phase 13 is complete and a structural shift is visible. The stock might rally at times, but it would be wise to avoid chasing those.&nbsp;
The breakdown of the Cakra has triggered the Move of Pralaya, and historical data under the Adhishthana model shows that recoveries during this phase window are not sustainable. Until then, caution is key.
