<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41884428/warren-buffetts-166-billion-warning-to-wall-street-has-hit-a-fever-pitch-and-the-financial-world-cant-afford-to-ignore-it">Warren Buffett's</a> investment strategy is a case study in bold and safe play. Nearly $99 billion is pegged on two iconic names: Apple and Coca-Cola. Through Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett has channeled a whopping half of his equity holdings into Apple alone and he's held tight to his Coca-Cola shares since the late 1980s.&nbsp;

<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"> You can still get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $1,000</a></li>
<li>This Adobe-backed AI marketing startup went from a $5 to $85 million valuation working with brands like L'Oréal, Hasbro, and Sweetgreen in just three years –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-ai"> here's how there's a limited time opportunity to invest at $1,000 for only $0.50/share before closing date.</a></li>
</ul>
His strategy here is simple but powerful – backing companies with brand strength and consistent financials. Apple's stock, for instance, surged 31% this year and many see this as Buffett's savviest move yet. Some say it's his "crown jewel," lauding his foresight in spotting a tech company that's proven as resilient as it is profitable.
But as with any big bet, Buffett's heavy reliance on Apple has sparked some chatter. Skeptics say putting so many eggs in one tech basket could be risky. With tech stocks, there's always the threat of shifting consumer trends, not to mention the occasional market shake-up.&nbsp;
Trending: The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a>
And while Apple has shown impressive gains this year, the latest numbers hint at a slight cooling. In the last fiscal year, Apple's total revenue dipped by 0.8% – a small shift but enough to raise eyebrows. Still, Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring believes Apple has room to climb, setting a price target of $273, which would mark a 20% rise from current levels.
Apple's pivot toward services is holding it steady. Though iPhone sales may ebb and flow, Apple's revenues from the App Store, streaming and cloud services have grown by 23% over the past few years.&nbsp;
Services have also helped Apple boost its profit margins, going from 43.3% in 2022 to 46.2% in 2024, catching Wall Street's attention. These margins and the cash flow from services make Apple's high share prices easier to swallow, especially as it could mean bigger dividends for shareholders.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
Then there's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40046044/grant-cardone-says-buffett-made-508-million-as-an-investor-in-coca-cola-last-year-the-ceo-made-5">Coca-Cola</a>, which stands out as Buffett's textbook choice. It's familiar, steady and beloved worldwide. His initial investment in Coca-Cola in the late ‘80s has since grown to a $27.67 billion stake and despite recent bumps – like a 12% drop from September's peak – investors still see value here.&nbsp;
Morgan Stanley's Dara Mohsenian predicts Coca-Cola could climb to $76 a share, marking a potential 19% increase. Investors love Coca-Cola for its dependable growth and steady dividend payouts. Coca-Cola just raised its dividend for the 62nd consecutive year, offering a 3% yield – a rarity in today's market.&nbsp;
Unlike the roller-coaster nature of tech, Coca-Cola's simpler, time-tested business model gives it a stability that's hard to beat. The company's revenue ticked up, with a 5.0% rise in the first nine months of 2024 alone and management projects 10% organic sales growth for the year – proof of the brand's staying power.

$99 Billion Bet: Warren Buffett Invests Heavily In 2 Stocks Expected To Jump 19% And 20%, Wall Street Analysts Predict

Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLIC#NASDAQ">KLIC</a>) shares were rising in early trading on Friday, after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KLIC">shedding more than 5% this week</a>.
While reporting earnings, the company announced an order for fluxless TCB from "the world&#8217;s leading foundry," which could be chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), according to Needham.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Charles Shi</a> upgraded the rating for Kulicke and Soffa Industries from Hold to Buy, while establishing a price target of $55.
The Kulicke and Soffa Industries Thesis: Given in order, the company expects TCB revenues to grow by 40%-50% year-on-year in 2025, Shi said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Kulicke and Soffa Industries is expected to generate TCB revenues of around $55 million in 2024, which could now reach as much as $80 million next year, "beating our $70MM estimate by about $10MM," he added.
Rival ASMPT is likely to have failed the TCB qualification at Taiwan Semiconductor and its management said during the third-quarter earnings call that TCB evaluation at the leading foundry "may take another year," the analyst stated.
"To us, the fact that KLIC is already qualified and shipping while ASMPT still has not closed the evaluation means that KLIC has won," he further wrote.
KLIC Price Action: Shares of Kulicke and Soffa Industries rose by 2% to $46.52 at the time of publication on Friday.

Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) is set to lay off nearly 400 employees in Texas, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40335015/exxon-mobil-reduces-staff-after-pioneer-merger-report">following its acquisition</a> of Pioneer Natural Resources earlier this year. 
The downsizing plan includes 376 job cuts in Irving, Texas, and an additional 18 in Midland, according to Reuters, which cited information from the Texas Workforce Commission.
Exxon had extended job offers to almost 1,900 Pioneer employees as part of the merger agreement.

The company plans to lay off 110 employees by the end of 2024 and schedule another 178 layoffs for 2025. The remaining job cuts, affecting about 100 workers, are expected to occur in 2026.
In line with its focus on shale expansion, Exxon is reportedly preparing to divest conventional oil assets in the Permian Basin valued at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40596410/exxon-mobil-eyes-permian-assets-sale-to-fuel-shale-expansion-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately $1 billion</a>. The sale would involve mature wells in the Central Basin that provide stable but modest oil output.
For its third quarter, Exxon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41683914/exxon-q3-earnings-11-3-billion-cost-savings-rising-production-dividend-hike-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported total revenues</a> of $90.02 billion, falling short of the market consensus of $93.94 billion. Production rose by 5%, reaching 4,582 thousand oil-equivalent barrels per day, boosted by increased output from Pioneer's assets. 
Adjusted net profit dropped to $8.61 billion from $9.24 billion in the previous quarter. Exxon achieved structural cost savings of $11.3 billion compared to 2019 levels and aims to reach $15 billion in cumulative savings by the end of 2027.
Exxon Mobil shares have gained 18% year-to-date. However, Viking Fund Management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/11/41997142/viking-fund-management-sells-big-oil-stocks-in-q3-cuts-tesla-position-in-half-adds-to-largest-position-broadcom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently reduced its stake</a> in the company.
Price Action: Exxon Mobil stock is up 0.12% at $120.71 at last check on Friday.

The cryptocurrency industry is bracing for a potential surge in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) after Donald Trump's election win, signaling what experts believe could be a transformative era for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40743776/trump-reiterates-plans-to-make-us-world-capital-of-crypto-instead-of-attacking-industries-">digital assets in the U.S</a>.
What Happened: Market participants are hopeful that a pro-crypto Trump administration will end regulatory gridlock and usher in broader approval for innovative crypto-based financial products, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6abb3096-e740-4f31-abb5-c0be737f4ae2">according</a> to a Financial Times report.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) recent approval of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42010782/goldman-sachs-expands-bitcoin-etf-holdings-to-710-million">spot Bitcoin</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-ethereum-etf">Ethereum ETFs</a> marked a significant milestone after years of regulatory pushback.
However, filings for ETFs tied to other digital assets like Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) and Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) have yet to make headway.
Comparatively, Europe has been more accepting, offering exchange-traded products tied to about 30 cryptocurrencies, according to ETFbook data.
Industry leaders are hopeful that Trump's administration will replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler, whose tenure has been marked by strict enforcement actions against the crypto industry. 
Trump has pledged to position the U.S. as a "bitcoin superpower," fueling optimism for more supportive policies.
"This election was a massive win for crypto," said Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise Asset Management, which has filed for an XRP ETF. 
"For the past four years, crypto has operated with major regulatory uncertainty. Imagine what happens when those headwinds are removed."
VanEck's head of digital asset research, Matt Sigel, echoed these sentiments, describing the election as a turning point for the crypto industry.
"The SEC's regulation by enforcement approach under Gensler stifled innovation. A return to a disclosure-based system could pave the way for more digital asset ETFs," Sigel noted. 
He expects a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40470226/solana-etf-approval-in-2024-has-only-a-6-chance-a-snowballs-chance-in-hell-etf-analyst-say">Solana ETF</a> to be trading in the U.S. by the end of next year.
Asset managers are gearing up for what could be a flood of new crypto products. VanEck, buoyed by Trump's victory, has revived its focus on developing digital asset ETFs. 
Canary Capital recently filed for an HBAR ETF, adding to its existing applications for Solana, XRP and Litecoin ETFs.

Why It Matters: The market rally following Trump's election has underscored the pent-up demand for crypto innovation.
Solana, XRP and similar tokens have surged by 30% since the results, reflecting optimism for more supportive regulation and the potential approval of exotic crypto ETFs.
In Europe, nearly 30% of the $13 billion market for digital asset ETFs consists of basket products and offerings beyond Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
If mirrored in the U.S., these more specialized products could see demand reaching $55 billion, based on ETFbook's projections.
Townsend Lansing, head of product at CoinShares, Europe's largest provider of digital asset ETFs, sees regulatory clarity as crucial for U.S. market growth. 
"A comprehensive legislative regime alongside traditional securities laws is completely missing in the U.S.," Lansing stated. 
He argued for a nuanced approach to regulating cryptocurrencies as commodities or securities, a contentious issue under Gensler's SEC.
While optimism abounds, industry leaders caution that regulatory clarity should not devolve into a "free-for-all." Hougan emphasized the need for balanced oversight, saying, "We want a dialogue-driven approach, not regulatory chaos."
The potential regime change could reposition the U.S. as a global hub for digital assets. Sigel highlighted that over the past four years, the SEC's actions pushed much of the innovation abroad. 
"We're looking forward to the U.S. reclaiming its position as a leader in product development, from ETFs to stablecoins and NFT platforms," he added.
What&#8217;s Next: The impact of these developments will be explored in depth at Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, where industry experts will discuss the evolving landscape of crypto regulation and innovation.

FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCEL#NASDAQ">FCEL</a>) shares are trading higher after the company disclosed a corporate restructuring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42005647/fuelcell-energy-announces-global-restructuring-focusing-core-technologies-on-distributed-power-gen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">across the U.S., Canada, and Germany</a>.
The goal is to reduce costs and focus on core technologies in response to slower-than-anticipated clean energy investments.
FuelCell Energy expects the restructuring to lower operating costs by approximately 15% in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal year 2025 compared to 2024.</a> 
Here&#8217;s the plan:
<ul>
<li>Reduce the workforce by 17% (including actions taken in September)</li>
<li>Slash spending on product development, overhead, and other expenses.</li>
<li>Prioritize commercially available technologies to align with shifting market opportunities.</li>
<li>Expand its Connecticut-made molten carbonate technology (no expected layoffs in Torrington)</li>
<li>Support growing AI-driven data center demands</li>
<li>Address grid deficiencies.</li>
<li>Advance CO2 recovery for industrial uses</li>
<li>Continue developing its joint carbon capture platform, including a demonstration at the Port of Rotterdam. </li>
<li>Grow resources to support its growing South Korean customer base.</li>
</ul>
FuelCell CEO Jason Few said, &#8220;These tailwinds are strengthened by power shortages in grids, high voltage transmission needs, and delays in centralized power projects due to lengthy permitting processes, which our distributed energy platforms do not experience. Additional power demand opportunities are driven by data centers, AI, cryptocurrency growth, more resilient and reliable grids, and carbon recovery and capture.&#8221;
FCEL expects non-recurring charges from the restructuring in Q4 FY2024 and Q1 FY2025 and cash, restricted cash, and short-term investments to exceed $300 million as of Oct. 31.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYDR#NASDAQ">HYDR</a>).
Price Action: FuelCell shares are up 19.68% at $8.39 at the last check Friday.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Pfizer

In one of the most significant cryptocurrency crime cases to date, Ilya Lichtenstein, who orchestrated the theft of 120,000 bitcoin from Bitfinex in 2016, was sentenced to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40961791/the-biggest-crypto-crime-cases-in-2024-heists-frauds-and-multi-million-dollar-scams-shake-">five years in prison</a>.
The stolen Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), worth $71 million at the time, is now valued at over $7.6 billion. 
What Happened: Lichtenstein's elaborate laundering <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.257739/gov.uscourts.dcd.257739.143.0.pdf">scheme</a>, carried out with the assistance of his wife, Heather Morgan, has been described by authorities as one of the most sophisticated money-laundering operations ever encountered in the cryptocurrency space.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, delivering the sentence on Thursday, called the theft "meticulously planned" and emphasized the importance of accountability. 
"It's important to send a message that you can't commit these crimes with impunity, that there are consequences to them," she said.
The hack targeted Hong Kong-based exchange Bitfinex, compromising 36% of the company's assets at the time. 
Prosecutors revealed that Lichtenstein spent months infiltrating Bitfinex's infrastructure to execute the theft. After the hack, he moved the stolen Bitcoin through a maze of transactions designed to obscure its origins. 
By 2022, the couple had successfully laundered around 21% of the stolen funds, worth $14 million at 2016 prices, and exceeding $1 billion in 2022.
Heather Morgan, who also faces sentencing, played a lower-level role, according to prosecutors.

Initially unaware of the full extent of her husband's actions, she later assisted in laundering the stolen funds.
Authorities recovered over 96% of the stolen bitcoin, valued at over $6 billion, thanks in part to Lichtenstein's cooperation following his arrest in February 2022. 
His defense attorney, Samson Enzer, highlighted this cooperation, stating, "The vast bulk of the stolen money was never spent."
The theft significantly impacted Bitfinex's operations and reputation, forcing the company to take swift action to protect its customers. 
"The hack devastated our finances and reputation," said Barry Berke, an attorney for Bitfinex. 
Despite the setback, Bitfinex absorbed the losses to shield its customers from the fallout.
While in custody, Lichtenstein expressed regret, stating, "I want to take full responsibility for my actions and make amends any way I can." 
He also shared his desire to contribute positively in the future by applying his skills to combat cybercrime.
What&#8217;s Next: The case highlights the need for robust regulatory frameworks and cybersecurity measures to protect digital asset markets, an issue that will be explored at Benzinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19.
