10 Financials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) much-anticipated live-action Tomb Raider TV series appears close to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment">landing its lead. </a>
<a href="https://deadline.com/2024/11/sophie-turner-lara-croft-tomb-raider-phoebe-waller-bridge-amazon-1236173978/">According</a> to Deadline, Sophie Turner — best known for her role as Sansa Stark in &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221; — is reportedly in negotiations to take on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38096633/this-is-the-most-iconic-character-in-gaming-surpassing-mario-hitman-sonic-says-bafta-gaming">the iconic role of Lara Croft</a>, the adventurous archaeologist who has been a staple of pop culture since the original Tomb Raider game launched in 1996.
This live-action series, separate from Netflix Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) animated adaptation, was first announced in January 2023. It boasts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38854134/amazon-confirms-live-action-tomb-raider-series-by-fleabags-phoebe-waller-bridge-i-think-my-">Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) as its writer</a>, with Amazon officially confirming her involvement in May. Beyond that, details have been scarce.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Fresh Take On Lara Croft</h3>
Casting Lara Croft comes with high expectations. Angelina Jolie first brought the character to life on the big screen in the early 2000s, delivering a larger-than-life portrayal that set the tone for future adaptations. Alicia Vikander later brought a grittier and more grounded interpretation of Lara in the 2018 reboot.
With Turner reportedly in the final stages of negotiations, fans are eager to see what she can bring to the role. Known for her layered portrayal of Sansa Stark, Turner has proven her ability to balance vulnerability and strength—qualities central to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38096633/this-is-the-most-iconic-character-in-gaming-surpassing-mario-hitman-sonic-says-bafta-gaming">the character of Lara Croft.</a>
Earlier reports suggested Turner was competing with Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody) for the role, but this latest update points to Turner emerging as Amazon's choice.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expanding The Tomb Raider Universe</h3>
Amazon has ambitious plans for the Tomb Raider franchise. Alongside the TV series, the company will also publish the next Tomb Raider video game developed by Square Enix Holdings Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQNXF#OTC">SQNXF</a>) Crystal Dynamics. Additionally, a new film adaptation is reportedly in the works, signaling a coordinated effort to revitalize the franchise across multiple media platforms.
For fans of classic Tomb Raider games, there's even more to celebrate. Embracer Group&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THQQF#OTC">THQQF</a>) Aspyr Media recently announced a remastered collection of Tomb Raider IV-VI, set to release in 2024.

- Reuters&nbsp; WASHINGTON, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Reports that billionaire Elon Musk has held multiple calls with Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, should be investigated by the Pentagon and law-enforcement agencies on national-security grounds, two senior Democratic senators said in a letter seen by Reuters on Friday.
Musk, who has been appointed to a senior government role by Republican President-elect Donald Trump, oversees billions of dollars in Pentagon and intelligence-community contracts as CEO of aerospace company SpaceX.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a senior Foreign Relations Committee member, and Senate Armed Services Committee chair Jack Reed told U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Pentagon's inspector general that Musk's involvement in those SpaceX programs should be probed for potential debarment and exclusion after reports as recent as October of his conversations with Russian officials. Debarment refers to exclusion from certain contracts and privileges.
"These relationships between a well-known U.S. adversary and Mr. Musk, a beneficiary of billions of dollars in U.S. government funding, pose serious questions regarding Mr. Musk's reliability as a government contractor and a clearance holder," the lawmakers said in a joint letter dated on Friday.
Several Democratic lawmakers have publicly called for a probe into Musk's communications with Moscow since a Wall Street Journal report last month on the alleged contact, but the letter to the U.S. officials who could launch such an investigation has not been previously reported.
The call by Shaheen and Reed for a federal probe is a longshot effort as Trump prepares to return to the White House with backing from Musk, who spent over $119 million on Trump's reelection campaign and was appointed co-head of the president-elect's forthcoming Department of Government Efficiency.
SpaceX, Musk and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Pentagon and Justice Department did not immediately respond to similar requests.
REPORTS OF RUSSIAN CONTACT
Reports of Musk's contact with Russian officials emerged in 2022, when political scientist Ian Bremmer, president of consulting firm Eurasia Group, said he was told by Musk that he had spoken with Putin about the Ukraine war and Russia's red line for using nuclear weapons. Musk denied Bremmer's claim and said he had only spoken to Putin 18 months earlier, about space.
Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported Musk has had multiple conversations with Russian officials including Putin and his first deputy chief of staff Sergei Kiriyenko, citing unnamed U.S., European and Russian officials.
Shaheen and Reed said in the letter it was "deeply concerning" that Musk reportedly had conversations with Kiriyenko. He was charged this year with other Russian officials by the U.S. Justice Department for spearheading an AI-powered propaganda campaign on Musk's social-media platform X and other sites to promote Russian interests and influence voters ahead of the U.S. presidential election.
Musk has publicly claimed he holds a U.S. security clearance, giving him access to secret information at SpaceX, which holds billions of dollars in Pentagon and NASA launch contracts. The company also has a $1.8-billion intelligence-community contract to build a vast spy satellite network, Reuters has reported.
"Communications between Russian government officials and any individual with a security clearance have the potential to put our security at risk," the lawmakers said in the letter.
Tensions between the U.S. and Russia in space have spiked since Russia's 2022 Ukraine invasion. Pentagon officials have condemned suspect maneuvers by Russian satellites in orbit and this year accused Russia of developing a space-based nuclear weapon capable of disabling large satellite networks.
Musk's SpaceX has come to dominate the U.S. space industry and is relied on heavily by NASA and the Pentagon.
The company's Starlink internet network of nearly 7,000 satellites has made SpaceX the world's largest satellite operator and a disruptive force in the satellite internet sector, with heavy interest from the Pentagon for military communications. Ukraine's military relies heavily on Starlink for battlefield connectivity.
The senators sent a separate letter on Friday to U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall saying Musk's reported conversations raise the need for more competition in the launch and satellite communications industries and to use more companies besides SpaceX for sensitive national-security missions.
"Mr. Musk's reported behavior could pose serious risks to national security, and as CEO of a company with billions of dollars in sensitive defense and intelligence contracts, warrant reconsideration of SpaceX's outsized role in (the Department of Defense's) commercial space integration," the lawmakers said.

Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/news">issuing layoff notices</a> to 17,000 employees as part of a broader effort to rightsize its workforce.
The cuts, totaling 10% of the company's global headcount, come as the plane maker battles financial turbulence, including a shaky stock performance and production slowdowns. 
The layoffs, expected since October, have been confirmed by <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-starts-issuing-layoff-notices-starting-this-week-2024-11-13/">Reuters</a>, marking yet another step in Boeing&#8217;s ongoing struggle to stabilize.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Challenging Year For Boeing</h2>
The company will provide U.S. workers with 60 days&#8217; notice, in compliance with federal law, keeping them on payroll through January. This move comes as Boeing attempts to regain footing under new CEO Kelly Ortberg, who's juggling:
<ul>
<li>A major financial overhaul,</li>
<li>A union strike, and</li>
<li>A significant production revival effort.</li>
</ul>
The company has struggled throughout 2024, highlighted by a dramatic safety incident earlier in the year and the extended labor strike that just ended on Nov. 5.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing 737 MAX: A Bright Spot Amid Challenges</h2>
Despite these setbacks, Boeing is now focused on reviving production of its cash cow, the 737 MAX, which has faced major setbacks following the strike by 33,000 workers. 
While production is slowly ramping up again, the announcement of layoffs and financial austerity measures is casting a long shadow over employee morale.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing&#8216;s Bearish Sentiment Persists</h2>
But even as Boeing's workforce shrinks, its financial health is under scrutiny. The company raised $24 billion in late October to stabilize its balance sheet, but its stock has been on a steep decline. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="456" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15091536/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-7.23.38-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-650319" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15091536/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-7.23.38-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15091536/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-7.23.38-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

Boeing stock is down over 45% year-to-date, with its share price sitting at $138.14—far below key simple moving averages, including the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) of $175.36. 
This technical weakness indicates further risk for the stock, with a current moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) of a negative 3.83 and a relative strength index (RSI) of 32.73 signaling that Boeing stock is nearing oversold conditions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Boeing Soar Again?</h2>
Despite the recent volatility, Boeing&#8217;s efforts to reassert itself, particularly with the MAX, are critical to its future growth. 
However, with the stock stuck in a bearish trend and its workforce facing uncertainty, investors will be watching closely for any signs of recovery. 
The future of Boeing hinges on whether the 737 MAX can continue to take flight—both literally and figuratively.

Looking into the current session, AECOM Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACM#NYSE">ACM</a>) shares are trading at $106.33, after a 0.81% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 1.47%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 22.38%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731691811_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>AECOM P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 51.71 in the Construction &amp; Engineering industry, AECOM Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 39.56. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731691811_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/11/42004767/breaking-down-united-airlines-holdings-11-analysts-share-their-views">has resumed coverage</a> of nine airlines and gave a broad overview of the year ahead for the airline sector. Here's a look at the winners and losers in the industry.
The Details: Goldman Sachs analyst Catherine O'Brien said the firm expects supply constraints to continue for the airlines into 2025. She sees mixed stock performance ahead, with the airlines exposed to premium and corporate demand outperforming the sector.

ALK: The firm resumed coverage of Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) with a Buy rating and a $70 price target on the stock. The analyst pointed to the airline's exposure to the West Coast corporate travel demand, which has begun to recover significantly. 
She also noted Alaska Air's improving interisland profitability and sees upside ahead related to synergies from the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines.&nbsp;
DAL: Goldman Sachs resumed coverage of Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) as a Buy with an $83 price target, representing 28% upside to the stock's current levels. The firm said its Buy rating is underpinned by Delta's growth in loyalty revenue, which is driven partly by its long-term credit card agreement with American Express. 
O&#8217;Brien also highlighted the airline's exposure to passenger demand for premium services and its competitors exiting key cities where Delta continues to operate.&nbsp;
UAL: O&#8217;Brien forecasted United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>) to end 2024 with margins at nearly pre-pandemic levels and noted this as the highest rate of recovery among the firm's airline coverage. The Goldman Sachs analyst also highlighted United as among the best positioned to serve the increasing premium and corporate consumer demand.&nbsp;
Goldman Sachs resumed coverage on United Airlines with a Buy rating and a $119 price target, representing 31% upside to the stock's current level.&nbsp;
JBLU: The firm resumed coverage on shares of JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) with a Sell rating and a $5.50 price target. O'Brien pointed to capacity restraints resulting from aircraft grounded for required maintenance and air traffic control staffing shortages in New York City, where the airline has a large hub. The analyst said that both issues are out of management's control and expects both to continue through the short term.&nbsp;
LUV: The Goldman Sachs analyst resumed coverage on Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) shares with a Sell rating and announced a $28 price target. O'Brien said Southwest's product <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/11/42004766/beyond-the-numbers-9-analysts-discuss-southwest-airlines-stock">and network</a> are not aligned with the increasing demand for premium air services, putting it at a disadvantage in the current market.&nbsp;
