If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have $4,400 Today

The U.S. stock market struggled to gain momentum on Monday as investors remained cautious ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/election-day">Election Day on Tuesday</a>. 
Vice President Kamala Harris holds a 1-point lead over ex-President Donald Trump, according to the New York Times national polling average; she has a 4-point lead among likely voters nationally, <a href="https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/u-s-presidential-contest-november-2024/">according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll</a>.
Betting markets, as tracked by the CFTC-regulated Kalshi, favor a Trump win at a 53% chance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41702729/harris-surges-in-prediction-markets-nabs-kalshi-lead-with-just-three-days-to-go">but with diminishing odds</a> compared to previous weeks. Also, the betting odds are susceptible to wild swings from so-called "whale" bettors, including one individual on Polymarket <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41463756/polymarket-to-review-user-base-in-light-of-whales-betting-millions-on-trump-election-win" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">who spent as much as</a> $43 million on a Trump victory.

&#8220;Neither candidate holds a meaningful edge in enough states to win 270 electoral votes. In the history of modern polling, there's never been a race where the final polls showed such a close contest,&#8221; said Nate Cohn, chief political analyst for the New York Times. 
The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2%, while the Dow dropped 0.6%, hitting its lowest intraday level since mid-September. In contrast, small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 outperformed, rising 1%. The Nasdaq 100 also retreated, dipping below the 20,000 mark.
Treasury yields fell by nearly 10 basis points as investors scaled back positions linked to Trump&#8217;s inflationary policies, such as high tariffs and more expansionary fiscal measures. The dollar also weakened, down 0.5%.
The increasing likelihood of a Harris victory gave a boost to solar and renewable energy stocks, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) climbing 3.6%. 
Oil and gas stocks also gained, as crude prices surged 3% after OPEC+ postponed an anticipated production hike. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) jumped 3%, marking its largest single-day gain since late June.
Gold held steady at $2,740, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell over 1%, dropping below $68,000.

Kevin O'Leary, better known as Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank, knows a thing or two about making bets that pay off — especially the crazy ones. In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&amp;v=8H1GauGOO3k">discussion</a> with Chris Wallace, O'Leary opened up about the unpredictable world of venture investing.
Don't Miss:

</ul>
He explained how some of his most bizarre investments, like a company offering genetic testing for cats, turned into massive wins that covered a bunch of other losses. The truth? Venture investing is random, and a lot of it comes down to luck.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I get this one shoved in my face all the time. I'm the only Shark that believed in him! The truth is, venture investing is random. There's a lot of luck involved and you need diversification. <a href="https://t.co/06LyCCK2IJ">pic.twitter.com/06LyCCK2IJ</a>
&mdash; Kevin O&#39;Leary aka Mr. Wonderful (@kevinolearytv) <a href="https://twitter.com/kevinolearytv/status/1850917130398470260?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 28, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Back in 2019, O&#8217;Leary made a seemingly wild bet on Basepaws, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40557261/the-stupid-idea-that-made-kevin-oleary-a-massive-20x-return-it-was-such-a-crazy-pitch-i-bought-it-an">a startup that provides DNA tests for cats</a>. At first glance, it seemed like a quirky, maybe even questionable idea. But Mr. Wonderful went for it anyway. He invested alongside fellow shark Robert Herjavec, each putting in $125,000 for a 5% stake.&nbsp;

Fast forward a few years, and Zoetis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>), a giant in the animal health industry, scooped up Basepaws for well over $50 million. That acquisition meant O'Leary&#8217;s initial investment potentially turned into a 90x return — not bad for something that sounded like a pet gimmick at the start.
"Venture investing is random," O'Leary admitted. "There's a lot of luck in it." For him, diversification is key. O&#8217;Leary explained that, out of the 10-15 deals he makes each year, only a few will end up being big wins, but they're the ones that make all the difference. And often, the winners are the ideas that seem the most unpredictable, like cat DNA tests or a meal-kit service like Plated, which was sold to Albertsons for about $300 million.

A notable deal that got away from O&#8217;Leary was Ring, the smart doorbell company. He famously passed on Ring when it was pitched on Shark Tank, and it was later sold to Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) for $1 billion. As he told Wallace, &#8220;Thank you for bringing it up Chris. You&#8217;ve ruined my day. I get this one shoved in my face all the time.&#8221;
In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFCfU9cBIRA">podcast</a>, O&#8217;Leary revealed a fascinating stat — 70% of his returns come <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41254217/if-they-say-ive-got-three-kids-i-dont-care-says-kevin-oleary-claims-70-of-his-returns-come-from-wome">from companies led by women</a>. He's found that women entrepreneurs tend to be strong at managing risk, making deliberate choices that help their businesses stay steady even when things get tough. "If you want something done, give it to a busy mother," O&#8217;Leary said, highlighting how balancing multiple responsibilities can make someone a great leader.
To O&#8217;Leary, venture investing is more about taking risks, spreading bets, and understanding that the most unusual concepts can occasionally lead to the greatest returns.

Zoetis And Danone Recently Announced A Joint Business Development Plan To Drive Sustainable Practices On Today's Dairy Farms Through The Power Of Genetics For Healthier Cows

On Thursday, the FDA approved Elanco Animal Health Incorporated&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELAN#NYSE">ELAN</a>) Zenrelia, a once-daily oral JAK inhibitor for the control of pruritus (itching) associated with allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis in dogs at least <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/n40946416/elanco-announces-fda-approval-and-launch-of-zenrelia-ilunocitinib-tablets-offering-an-effective-sa" rel="noreferrer noopener">12 months of age</a>.
Approximately 17 million dogs suffer from allergic skin disease, including atopic dermatitis, food allergies, or flea sensitivity.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39530951/elanco-animal-health-shares-sink-on-unexpected-label-update-for-canine-dermatology-" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elanco Animal Health Shares Sink On Unexpected Label Update For Canine Dermatology Drug</a>.
Elanco conducted a head-to-head noninferiority study comparing the efficacy and safety of Zenrelia and Apoquel for submission in the European Union.
A study of 338 client-owned dogs with confirmed atopic dermatitis was conducted.
The study shows one daily dose of Zenrelia is at least as effective as the market incumbent JAK inhibitor at the primary endpoint on Day 28.
<ul>
<li>Zenrelia provided consistently greater relief from itch and skin lesions over time, with once-daily dosing from the start, while rebound itch was observed in Zoetis Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>) Apoquel (oclacitinib)-treated dogs after dosing decreased to once daily after Day 14.</li>
<li>77% of Zenrelia-treated dogs achieved clinical remission of itch, compared to 53% of Apoquel-treated dogs.</li>
</ul>
William Blair highlights that Zenrelia&#8217;s label includes a warning advising discontinuation 28 days to 3 months before any vaccination. This raises concerns about whether veterinarians will readily adopt the new skin product, given the extra precautions needed, especially considering some dogs receive vaccines as frequently as once a year.
In reviewing the clinical data, it was noted that the placebo effect in Zenrelia&#8217;s FDA study was significantly higher than in Apoquel&#8217;s, suggesting that Apoquel&#8217;s actual impact on atopic dermatitis may be more robust than Zenrelia&#8217;s.
This raises doubts about Zenrelia&#8217;s true efficacy in comparison. Additionally, William points out that adverse events, such as diarrhea and vomiting, occurred at twice the rate in Zenrelia&#8217;s FDA study than in Apoquel&#8217;s.
The analyst notes that investor expectations for Zenrelia over the next two years are already elevated. However, due to lingering uncertainties, William prefers to wait for concrete execution before assessing if it can sustainably impact the P&amp;L statement. The analyst maintained the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELAN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Market Perform rating.</a>
Price Action: ELAN stock traded lower by 4.18% at $14.44 at the last check Friday.

Elanco's Dermatology Treatment Secures FDA Approval For Itchy Dogs, Analyst Highlights Label Warnings And Efficacy

Corcept Therapeutics (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cort#NASDAQ">CORT</a>) shares soared 6.5% in the last trading session to close at $42.27. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock&#39;s 15.7% gain over the past four weeks.
The company&#39;s sole marketed drug, Korlym, approved for treating Cushing&#39;s syndrome, is witnessing strong demand and driving growth. Also, a new drug application for the lead candidate, relacorilant, to treat Cushing&#39;s syndrome is expected to be filed in the fourth quarter of 2024. The ongoing progress with Korlym and relacorilant could be the reason for the share price rally.
This drug developer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.26 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -7.1%. Revenues are expected to be $171.04 million, up 38.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Corcept, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock&#39;s price usually doesn&#39;t keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on CORT going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Corcept is a member of the Zacks Medical - Drugs industry. One other stock in the same industry, Zoetis (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zts#NYSE">ZTS</a>), finished the last trading session 0.4% higher at $196.48. ZTS has returned 6.6% over the past month.
For Zoetis, the consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $1.46. This represents a change of +7.4% from what the company reported a year ago. Zoetis currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>

In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates.
