Donald Trump&#8216;s winning the 2024 presidential election is expected to have a negative impact on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">the electric vehicle sector</a>.
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could benefit from CEO Elon Musk's close relationship <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41832876/elon-musk-shines-in-trump-sweepstakes-a-big-win-for-tesla-dan-ives-thinks-so">with the president-elect</a>. However, the company&#8217;s plan to build a Gigafactory in Mexico could be at stake.
What Happened: Tesla reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37305137/tesla-to-kick-off-construction-of-giga-mexico-next-week-nuevo-le-n-governor-confirms">plans to build a gigafactory </a>in Mexico. The facility could produce sub-$30,000 vehicles, Model Y units, batteries and the Cybertruck.
Tesla hasn't confirmed its plans in Mexico. Still, the country's economic minister is asking questions after Trump won on Election Day.
"I'm going to set up a meeting with (Musk) soon so that he tells me exactly what he's thinking and see what we can do so this project moves forward," Mexico Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard told local radio Thursday, as reported by Reuters.
Original plans for Mexico and other new factory locations may <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/33053957/tesla-gigafactory-mexico-opening-reportedly-delayed-to-early-2025-amid-logistical-hurdles">have been delayed</a> due to the election with Tesla saying in April that it would use its existing factories to build new more affordable vehicles.
Trump's past term in the White House put pressure on foreign-made items shipped to the United States. Prior to the 2024 election win, Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41397317/trump-defends-his-plans-to-impose-200-tariffs-on-cars-imported-from-china-mexico-hope-union-workers"> has been promising</a> to put a 200% tariff on vehicles imported from China and Mexico.
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment on its plans in Mexico to Benzinga.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Tesla has several gigafactories around the world that produce and export vehicles to key regions like Europe and Asia.
A gigafactory in Mexico was likely less about exports to other countries and more about bringing vehicles into the U.S.
Investors and analysts will continue monitoring Trump's win and whether it impacts Tesla and the EV sector.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed Friday up 8.1% to $321.22. The company hit a new 52-week high of $328.71 during the trading session. Tesla stock is up 31.5% over the last five days and up 29.3% year-to-date in 2024.

The second of three monthly contests in Benzinga's paper trading competition powered by TradeZero kicked off on Oct. 15, giving contestants a chance to take home a portion in the more than $30,000 in cash and prizes offered during&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the three-month run.</a>
With one week left in the competition, the top of the leaderboard is close with new leaders emerging, including the first contest winner.
The Contests:&nbsp;Powered by&nbsp;TradeZero, the&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Championship of Trading</a>&nbsp;is the ultimate trading competition for investors to prove their keen eye during a three-month time period.
The first of three separate contests kicked off on Monday, Sept. 16. Over $5,000 in cash will be awarded to verified contest winners from the first contest.
With the first contest over, everyone who signs up for the second will now compete for the top prize of $10,000 in cash, a lifetime of Benzinga Pro Essential and a tour of the New York Stock Exchange with lunch for two at the exchange.
Contestants have until Nov. 7 to sign up for the second contest, with everyone starting over with a paper balance of $100,000. Based on the last contest&#8217;s results, investors may want to sign up and start trading today.
Each investor will have around one month across three separate contests to generate the highest profits from a starting balance of $100,000 in a simulated trading account.
Contestants in the World Championship of Trading will have access to Benzinga's Live Squawk product.
Investors will also gain exposure to TradeZero's newly patented short-selling tools.
Through Nov. 3 this is the current leaderboard for the second contest:
1st: Shruthi M.: $489,637.60
2nd: Andrea S.: $416,220.00
3rd: XiaoTian Z.: $302,710.00
Each of the top 10 contestants on the leaderboard has a balance of at least $197,290.00.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/exclusives/24/10/41666928/benzinga-world-championship-of-trading-powered-by-tradezero-top-trader-is-up-over-600-think-you-can">Last week's leader </a>XiaoTian Z. fell to third place. Shruthi M., who now leads the way, was in fourth place last week. The first contest winner Andrea S. has soared to second place after not being on the leaderboard last week.
This week's top 10 features only five of the top 10 from last week, which shows how the leaderboard changes. This means even if you missed the second contest deadline, you should have the upcoming contests on your radar, as anyone can win with some patience and good trades.
First Contest Winner:&nbsp;Andrea S., the winner of the first contest, went from $100,000 to more than $1 million in the paper trading account in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/exclusives/24/10/41240862/benzinga-world-championship-of-trading-powered-by-tradezero-1-contestant-up-988-in-3-weeks-join-now" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">less than a month.</a>
Benzinga previously <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/DjRmtokM2YQ?si=V0zxoFo4dHh0jPGT&amp;start=3615" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">interviewed </a>Andrea S., who was in the top 10 for most of the contest and was in first place several weeks.
Contest Rules:&nbsp;The contest is open to residents of the United States and Canada who are 21 years of age or older.
Traders will be able to buy simulated equities and options from U.S. markets during the contest periods starting with a balance of $100,000. No fractional shares will be allowed. Traders have to hold a minimum of one stock or option throughout the contest. A minimum of five days of one trade or more must be completed throughout each contest.
Interested investors have been able to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sign up to join</a>&nbsp;the contest since Friday, July 26. Signing up for the first contest will automatically register an entry in the second and third contests. Traders can sign up for the contests after the start dates as long as it is before a cutoff deadline.
The dates for the&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">contests</a>&nbsp;are listed below:

SmileDirectClub to liquidate as buyout deal fails

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
SmileDirectClub (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sdccq-stock-quote/">SDCCQ</a>) ceased operating on December 8 after it <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/smiledirectclub-ceases-operations-after-restructuring-effort-fails">could not restructure</a> through bankruptcy proceedings. The once high-flying provider of dental aligners was one of many at-risk companies entering the final quarter of 2023.&nbsp;



Do you remember all the articles pitting SmileDirect against industry leader Align Technology (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/algn-stock-quote/">ALGN</a>)? I sure do.&nbsp;



As recently as 2020, many investors and media pundits felt the former was a better buy than the latter. The Motley Fool&rsquo;s Keith Speights <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-reasons-to-buy-smiledirectclub-instead-of-align-technology-2020-02-09">suggested</a> in February 2020 three reasons SDC was a better buy than ALGN. However, looking closely, you&rsquo;ll see that Speights owned Align stock then. I&rsquo;m guessing the article was meant tongue-in-cheek.



My InvestorPlace colleague Josh Enomoto was more forthcoming in May 2020 about the risks involved in SDC stock. He <a href="https://investorplace.com/2020/05/smiledirectclub-is-a-luxury-that-few-care-about-in-a-recession-sdc-stock/">suggested,</a> &ldquo;The economy simply doesn&rsquo;t favor SDC stock.&rdquo;&nbsp;



And now it doesn&rsquo;t exist.&nbsp;



Who are other companies that could file for bankruptcy in 2024? Here are three at-risk companies to get you started.&nbsp;



<h2>Sabre (SABR)</h2>


<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/sabr-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="The logo for Sabre Corporation (SABR) is displayed on a smartphone screen."><div>Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com</div></div>


The companies that made my list had three things going against them: 1) high total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), 2) a low return on assets and 3) an Altman Z-Score below 1.81 &mdash; a sign the company could file for bankruptcy over the next 24 months.&nbsp;



According to Morningstar, one of the largest travel booking companies by volume has a total debt of <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/sabr/financials">$4.82 billion,</a> 582x its EBITDA of $8.28 million, a return on assets of <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/sabr/valuation">-12.52%</a> and an Altman Z-Score of <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/term/zscore/SABR/Altman-Z-Score/Sabre">-0.43.</a>



In 2015, Sabre (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sabr-stock-quote/">SABR</a>) stock traded around $30, 7x higher than where it currently trades.



Through the first nine months of 2023, Sabre generated a non-GAAP loss of $135.4 million, down from a $254.4 million loss a year earlier, on <a href="https://investors.sabre.com/static-files/7da29e94-ff1e-48d8-87bf-b206636c8823">$2.2 billion</a> in revenue.&nbsp;



The bulls will point to the fact its adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.9%, 750 basis points higher than a year ago, a sign the business is coming around.&nbsp;



But is it?



Its interest expense in the third quarter was $119.4 million, 55% higher than Q3 2022. On an annualized basis, that&rsquo;s <a href="https://investors.sabre.com/static-files/6b90ecaf-3aaf-49e7-abd6-097e9f2f2f09">$478 million,</a> 62% higher than its interest expense in 2022.



That&rsquo;s a huge mountain to overcome.&nbsp;



<h2>Seagate Technology (STX)</h2>


<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/stx-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="A Seagate Technology (STX) sign hanging above an office in Silicon Valley, California."><div>Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com</div></div>


Seagate Technology (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/stx-stock-quote/">STX</a>) has a total debt of <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/stx/financials">$5.67 billion,</a> 52x its EBITDA of $110.0 million, a return on assets of <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/stx/valuation">-9.39%</a> and an Altman Z-Score of <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/term/zscore/STX/Altman-Z-Score/STX">0.25.</a>&nbsp;



You wouldn&rsquo;t know that its financials were less than stellar, given its stock is up nearly 63% year to date. However, that is the case for the data storage company.&nbsp;



Of the <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/stx/analystestimates">24 analysts</a> that cover its stock, just 8 rate it Overweight or Buy, with 14 Holds and 2 Underweight or outright Sell, with a <a href="https://money.cnn.com/quote/forecast/forecast.html?symb=stx">$70</a> target price, well below where it&rsquo;s currently trading.



On a GAAP basis, Seagate lost $529 million in fiscal 2023 (June year-end). On a non-GAAP basis, it earned <a href="https://s24.q4cdn.com/101481333/files/doc_financials/2023/q4/STX-Q4-23-Press-Release.pdf">$40 million</a> on $7.38 billion in revenue. Its interest expense in 2023 was $313 million, up from $249 million a year earlier.&nbsp;



In Q1 2024, it lost <a href="https://s24.q4cdn.com/101481333/files/doc_financials/2024/q1/STX-FQ1-24-Press-Release.pdf">$184 million</a> (GAAP) and $46 million (non-GAAP). Its interest expense was $84 million, 18% higher than a year earlier. While the interest expense hasn&rsquo;t done the company in yet, it&rsquo;s got <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001137789/642e531d-584a-4a64-8683-9e2adab1064f.pdf">$1.75 billion</a> in debt with interest rates of 8.25% or higher that were issued in late 2022 and 2023.&nbsp;



If you own STX stock, you better hope interest rates decrease significantly in 2024, or its stock is sunk.



<h2>Century Aluminum (CENX)</h2>


<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/aluminum-stocks-3-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="stacks of rectangular aluminum metal stock"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/SimoneN</div></div>


Century Aluminum (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cenx-stock-quote/">CENX</a>) is the smallest of the three, with a market capitalization of just over $1 billion. Its shares are up nearly 27% in 2023.&nbsp;



It has a total debt of <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/cenx/financials">$512.0 million,</a> with a trailing 12-month EBITDA of -123.5 million, a return on assets of <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnas/cenx/valuation">-10.80%</a> and an Altman Z-Score of <a href="http://www.globeinvestor.com/">-0.30.</a> That is one score you don&rsquo;t want to be negative.&nbsp;



The Chicago-based aluminum producer reported better-than-expected Q3 2023 results in November. On the top line, its revenue was <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/century-aluminums-cenx-q3-earnings-181400279.html">$545.2 million,</a> 14% lower than a year earlier but $3 million higher than the consensus estimate. On the bottom line, it lost 13 cents a share, 6 cents lower than analyst expectations and <a href="https://centuryaluminum.com/investors/press-releases/press-release-details/2022/Century-Aluminum-Company-Reports-Third-Quarter-2022-Results/">21 cents</a> less than its Q3 2022 loss.&nbsp;




&ldquo;Century remains focused on disciplined cost and operational execution and remains well positioned when market conditions improve,&rdquo; CEO Jesse Gary stated in its Q3 2023 press release.&nbsp;




The company&rsquo;s interest expenses in the nine months ended September 30 were $26.6 million, <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000949157/e7d1533a-fe3e-46e9-914f-7d4ed9e47a01.pdf">27.3%</a> higher than $20.9 million in the same period of your earlier. On an annualized basis, that works out to $35.5 million, <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000949157/eb3e9a7b-7086-4fad-83cd-60f6420005ed.pdf">21%</a> higher than in 2022.



If you look at the company&rsquo;s debt, except for 2.75% convertible notes due May 1, 2028 ($84 million), most is at interest rates between 7.5% and 9.25%. That&rsquo;s too high for a business that often loses more money than makes it.&nbsp;
