Traders eyeing U.S. retail giants like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Best Buy ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be in for an unpleasant surprise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/42094649/nvidia-stock-historically-drops-in-december-after-q3-earnings">as December kicks in.</a>
Despite the holiday shopping frenzy, historical data spanning decades suggests December is not the ideal month to invest in these retail behemoths.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">December Is (Not) The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year For Walmart</h2>
Over the last 20 years, December has been Walmart&#8217;s weakest month of the year. 
Shares of Walmart fell by an average of 1.1% during the month, marking their worst average monthly performance.
Adding to the gloom, Walmart shares have only closed December in positive territory 40% of the time—just 8 times in 20 years. This is the lowest winning ratio for any month in the calendar year.
The retailer&#8217;s worst December performance in recent history occurred in 2022, when Walmart shares tumbled 7% during the month.

When extending the timeframe to 30 years, the data remains consistent: December is still Walmart&#8217;s worst-performing month, with shares dropping 0.9% on average and maintaining a winning ratio of just 40%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="458" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-1024x458.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661724" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-1024x458.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-300x134.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-768x343.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258-1536x686.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/22154607/image-258.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon Also Sees Red In December</h2>
Amazon.com Inc. also tends to falter during the holiday season. While the e-commerce giant doesn't post losses as steep as Walmart's, December ranks as Amazon's second-worst month for stock performance, trailing only February.
Over the last 20 years, Amazon shares have fallen an average of 0.27% in December, with a winning ratio of just 45%.
The worst December on record came recently in 2022, when Amazon's stock plummeted by 13%, reflecting broader market turbulence. 
However, December hasn't always been grim—Amazon saw some standout gains in the past, including a 20.1% rally in 2008 and an 11.6% jump in 2004.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Do Amazon And Walmart Struggle During the Holidays?</h3>
At first glance, the holiday season—a time of frenzied shopping activity—might seem like a boon for retail stocks. But Wall Street investors often shy away from buying retail giants like Amazon and Walmart during this period, and the reasons boil down to profit margins.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals may boost revenue, but they also weigh on profit margins. The steep discounts needed to attract consumers during the holidays often lead to margin compression, a red flag for investors prioritizing profitability.
The holiday period is typically when expectations for retail performance are already sky-high. If results don't meet or exceed those lofty benchmarks, stocks often sell-off.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix kicked off with an unexpected twist this week at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38181178/exclusive-fifteen-new-f1-hybrid-cannabis-strains-to-hit-shelves-in-us-for-420-under-new-partners">Formula 1</a>. During the second free practice session, it wasn't the usual track talk about lap times or track conditions being discussed by the drivers. Instead, they were commenting on the pervasive cannabis aroma filling the air around the circuit.

The first to bring it up was young Argentine driver Colapinto. After his media interview following practice, he made a candid observation that quickly went viral.
"Yes, there was a smell of weed. If they do a doping test on the drivers now, I think everyone would test positive, I swear," Colapinto joked. 
"When we all test positive, it'll be a mess," the 21-year-old William&#8217;s driver said in a playful tone.

Colapinto wasn't alone in noticing the cannabis scent. Red Bull's Sergio &#8220;Checo&#8221; Pérez also weighed in, concerned about the track conditions: &#8220;Practice 1 was a total disaster, the track was very dirty.&#8221;

I'm a little tired of it, the amount of odor is unbelievable. It's something that all the drivers will surely talk about."

Legal and political dynamics intensified as President-elect Donald Trump secured a delay in his New York sentencing on felony counts of falsifying business records, while his legal team pushes for dismissal under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">presidential immunity protections. </a>
The case, stemming from payments tied to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election, now faces fresh questions amid Trump's imminent return to the presidency.
What Happened: State Judge Juan Merchan granted Trump's request to postpone sentencing to consider arguments about immunity, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/judge-trump-hush-money-case-postpones-sentencing-consider-whether-case-rcna180861">reports</a>. Trump's attorneys assert that the recent Supreme Court decision on presidential protections applies to his conviction, seeking to have the case dismissed entirely. 
Proceedings have been rescheduled, with defense filings due by Dec. 2 and responses from prosecutors by Dec. 9.
Prosecutors acknowledged Trump's status as president-elect presents unprecedented legal questions. According to NBC News, they suggested sentencing could be deferred until the end of his term, citing the need to balance constitutional interests.

Why It Matters: The delay underscores the broader implications of presidential immunity, a contentious issue reshaped by recent Supreme Court rulings. As Trump prepares to take office in January, his legal battles highlight the tension between political power and judicial accountability.
Separately, Trump announced the nomination of Pam Bondi as attorney general, replacing Matt Gaetz, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42130207/trump-picks-former-florida-ag-pam-bondi-for-justice-department-after-matt-gaetz-withdraws">withdrew amid ethics concerns. </a>
Bondi, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42143770/trumps-pick-for-attorney-general-is-no-matt-gaetz-when-it-comes-to-cannabis-reform">Florida's former attorney genera</a>l and a key figure in Trump's 2020 impeachment defense, is expected to refocus the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the new administration.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h3>
Joshua Robinson, co-founder of Darwin Financial Company, announced a $55-million financing deal with INYOAG LLC. The funds will help develop a solar-powered mine in Inyo County, California where there are proven reserves of silver, lead, zinc, tungsten, and copper. Here&#8217;s our conversation with Robinson:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: What is the deal structure between Darwin Financial and base metals miner INYOAG? </h4>
Robinson: The deal structure is a $55M project financing package split into three components: $17.5 million and $12.5 million in six-year notes tied to sulfide and oxide production respectively, plus a $20-million conditional equity commitment that only triggers if the mine hits $10 million in monthly revenue. We get 17% of gross revenues from both production tracks, structured through secure lockbox arrangements. It&#8217;s not a straight equity investment, we specifically designed it this way to provide further upside exposure.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Are you looking for additional investors/joint venture partners? </h4>
Yes, we&#8217;ve deliberately structured this to create multiple layers of upside potential, which is pretty unique in the mining space. We&#8217;ve created a hybrid model that offers both near-term cash flow from production and significant expansion potential. We&#8217;re already seeing interest from established mining players, but we&#8217;re particularly excited about bringing new investors into the space who understand the strategic value of critical minerals.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What are the downsides to depending on foreign sources of critical minerals?</h4>
China&#8217;s recent actions really highlight the urgency here. They&#8217;ve already implemented export controls on germanium and gallium, and just added antimony to that list. This isn&#8217;t theoretical anymore, it&#8217;s actively happening. We need to build regional resilience in our supply chains, particularly for these minerals that are crucial for defense and technology. The Darwin Mine gives us a unique opportunity to establish a domestic source for multiple critical minerals in a single asset, which is rare to find.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Will the mine be powered by solar? </h4>
The 100MW facility wouldn&#8217;t just power the mine. It would generate significant excess clean energy that we can sell back to the grid. What&#8217;s particularly interesting is that we can develop utility-scale energy storage systems using minerals we&#8217;re already producing. It creates a virtuous cycle where our mining operations directly support clean energy deployment
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What are your 2025 goals?</h4>
For 2025, our key goals are reaching 300 tons per day on sulfide production within six months and 200 tons per day on oxide within nine months of funding. That puts us at $ 10 million in monthly revenue, which then triggers the deeper mine development program.
