PepsiCo Has Entered Into A Definitive Agreement To Acquire Garza Food Ventures, dba 'Siete Foods' For $1.2B

<p>Governor <strong>Gavin Newsom</strong>'s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41012794/gov-newsoms-hemp-ban-goes-into-effect-consequences-for-industry-investors-patients">emergency hemp restrictions </a>have officially gone into effect, sparking concerns and discussions within the cannabis industry. These new regulations, aimed at severely limiting hemp-derived products, are already causing ripples in the marketplace. The impact on the cannabis and hemp sectors, as well as implications for investors and patients, remains a critical focus, especially given California's significant influence on national cannabis policy.</p>
<p><strong>Will Bowden</strong>, CEO of <strong>Grasshopper Farms</strong> and a speaker at the upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><strong>Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</strong> </a>offered his perspective on the new regulations. </p>
<p>Bowden believes that while the restrictions may initially disrupt the market, they are ultimately necessary to ensure safety and protect consumers.</p>
<p><strong>See Also:</strong> <strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41082125/stop-ripping-us-off-incredibly-elon-musk-and-bernie-sanders-seem-to-agree-on-this-one-thing-i-re" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Stop Ripping Us Off,' Elon Musk And Bernie Sanders Seem To Agree On This One Thing</a></strong></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Safety First in Cannabis and Hemp Products</h3>
<p>Bowden has been vocal about the safety concerns surrounding unregulated hemp-derived products, particularly those that are sold with little oversight. "There is a lot of ‘hemp' derived products that are being passed off as similar or the same as those offered through a state commercial cannabis program, but with no controls on who purchases and requirements for the products," Bowden explained. He sees the new restrictions as a crucial step toward addressing these concerns.</p>
<p>By tightening the regulations around hemp products, Bowden hopes that other states will take note and adopt similar measures. "I do hope that other states are able to do the same," he said, reinforcing the need for consistent safety standards across the industry.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Impact on the Market</h3>
<p>California's new hemp restrictions are likely to have far-reaching effects in the state and across the country. Bowden highlighted the risk of unregulated hemp products flooding other states, a concern that has already begun to materialize. "With California being so large, there is a risk of this activity flooding the rest of the U.S., which is already happening to some extent," Bowden noted.</p>
<p>The new regulations may force other states to consider similar restrictions to prevent the influx of unregulated hemp products into their markets. For the cannabis industry, these changes could provide a more clearly defined separation between hemp and state-regulated cannabis products, potentially leading to a safer and more transparent marketplace.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investor and Patient Implications</h3>
<p>These new regulations will likely have consequences for industry investors and patients. Investors who were previously involved in hemp-derived products may now need to pivot toward more regulated opportunities within the cannabis space. Additionally, patients who rely on hemp-based products for medical purposes may face challenges in accessing these products as availability declines under the new rules.</p>
<p>The upcoming <strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a></strong> will offer a platform for industry leaders like Bowden to explore these issues further and discuss the evolving landscape of cannabis regulation.</p>

<p><strong>Charles Schwab Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) CEO <strong>Walt Bettinger</strong> will retire at the end of 2024. <strong>Rick Wurster</strong>, the current president, will succeed him starting Jan. 1, 2025.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: Bettinger, who turns 65 next year, cited his upcoming birthday as a reason for stepping down. He will continue to serve as co-chair of Schwab&#8217;s board. In a statement, Bettinger expressed confidence in Wurster&#8217;s leadership, noting their eight-year working relationship, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/01/charles-schwab-ceo-walt-bettinger-to-retire-at-end-of-2024-rick-wurster-to-replace-him.html">reported</a> on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Wurster, in an interview on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box,&#8221; assured that there would be no immediate strategic changes. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to continue what we&#8217;ve been doing, which is deliver for our clients and delight them,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Under Bettinger&#8217;s leadership since 2008, Schwab&#8217;s client assets surged from $1.14 trillion to $9.74 trillion, partly due to the acquisition of TD Ameritrade in 2020. Bettinger mentioned the completion of Ameritrade&#8217;s integration as another reason for his decision to retire.</p>
<p>Schwab&#8217;s stock has risen approximately 150% during Bettinger&#8217;s tenure, despite underperforming the broader market in the past two years. Shares of Schwab were up less than 1% in premarket trading on Tuesday.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: Bettinger&#8217;s retirement comes at a pivotal time for Charles Schwab. In August, Toronto-Dominion Bank <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40500034/charles-schwab-shares-drop-over-4-after-hours-as-td-bank-cuts-stake-following-2-6b-anti-money-la">reduced its stake</a> in Schwab, selling 40.5 million shares. This move followed TD Bank&#8217;s announcement of setting aside $2.6 billion to cover potential fines related to deficiencies in its anti-money laundering program.</p>
<p>The sale reduced TD Bank&#8217;s ownership in Schwab from 12.3% to 10.1%, impacting Schwab&#8217;s stock price. TD Bank&#8217;s decision was influenced by ongoing investigations into its anti-money laundering practices, which have been under scrutiny due to allegations involving Chinese drug traffickers laundering money through the bank.</p>

<p><strong>Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday amid ongoing volatility ahead of the 2024 presidential election and this week&#8217;s vice presidential debate. The company also announced that its custom-built content delivery network is now operating from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41105531/what-happened-with-trump-media-technology-stock-today">multiple sites across the country.</a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know: </strong>Trump Media shares have traded with elevated volatility in recent weeks. Trump Media, which is the parent company of social media platform Truth Social, made its public debut in late March, but majority shareholder <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and several other insiders were restricted from selling any shares until the lockup period ended about two weeks ago. </p>
<p>Trump Media shares fell from around the $19 level to around $12 over the course of a week as the lockup period came to a close, but the stock is now up more than 25% over the past five trading days heading into Tuesday&#8217;s vice presidential debate between Minnesota Gov.&nbsp;<strong>Tim Walz&nbsp;</strong>and Ohio Sen.&nbsp;<strong>J.D. Vance</strong>.</p>
<p>There are now less than 40 days until the presidential election, set for Nov. 5. Most betting platforms have Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> listed as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41107455/walz-vs-vance-vp-debate-betting-odds-what-candidate-is-favored-plus-how-to-watch-likely-to">slight favorite</a> with -125 odds to win versus Trump&#8217;s +100 odds. </p>

<p>Trump Media shares may also be getting a lift Tuesday after the company announced that its custom-built content delivery network (CDN) is operating from multiple sites across the country. </p>
<p>Trump Media said the expansion of its CDN, which powers the Truth+ TV service, transforms it into a more sophisticated network with streaming content originating from multiple geographic locations. The company aims to create a TV streaming platform that delivers news, Christian content and family friendly programming.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re pleased to report our CDN is operating excellently and is quickly enhancing,&#8221; said <strong>Devin Nunes</strong>, CEO of Trump Media. </p>
<p>&#8220;With additional data centers expected to open soon, our TV streaming capabilities and content are expanding rapidly, consistent with Truth Social&#8217;s goal to become the unassailable fortress of free speech on the Internet.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>DJT Price Action:</strong> <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/djt">Trump Media shares</a> were up 5.10% at $16.90 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>

Trump Media & Technology Group Stock Is Trading Higher Tuesday: What's Going On?

Aena S.M.E., S.A. goes ex dividend tomorrow

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/growth-stocks/">Growth stocks</a> are some of the best bets you can make in the market due to the momentum in their business. Growth showcases strong demand and execution, and the market will happily slap a higher and higher premium for this growth as long as it is there. Thus, growth stocks often deliver some of the highest returns in the market and have&nbsp;a great&nbsp;risk-reward ratio compared to other&nbsp;types of&nbsp;stocks.</p>



<p>Buying growth stocks that have impressive profitability and have the cash to run the business until they hit profitability are some of the best bets you can make for the long run.</p>



<p>Let&rsquo;s delve into seven growth stocks that are likely to perform well through 2025 and beyond.</p>



<h2>Celestica (CLS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cls1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding cellphone with website of Canadian electronics company Celestica Inc. (CLS) on screen in front of logo. Focus on center of phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Celestica</strong>&nbsp;(NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cls-stock-quote/"><strong>CLS</strong></a></span>) is a supply chain electronics manufacturing company.&nbsp;CLS stock has been delivering stellar gains&nbsp;and is up&nbsp;366% in just the past year.&nbsp;However, it could climb even higher.</p>



<p>The firm&rsquo;s Q1 results&nbsp;far&nbsp;exceeded expectations, with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CLS:NYSE">revenue growing 20.2%</a> year-over-year (<strong>YOY</strong>) to $2.2 billion. Diluted EPS of 85 cents overwhelmingly beat analysts&rsquo; estimates by 15.4%.&nbsp;This&nbsp;was fueled&nbsp;by enormous demand from high-volume cloud computing customers in their Communications and Corporate sectors. The net margin in Q1 was just 4.6%, indicating ample&nbsp;room for future growth.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-82.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-82.png" alt="Celestica EPS growth. growth stocks"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>While their Aerospace and Defense unit also continues achieving double-digit increases, the Industrial side encountered some challenges. However, management sees improving conditions ahead as orders for capital equipment rise again.</p>



<p>Investors are paying less than 16x forward earnings for all this, so it is a buy despite&nbsp;all&nbsp;the&nbsp;gains recently.</p>



<h2>SkyWest (SKYW)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/skyw1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A close-up shot of a SkyWest (SKYW) plane."><div>Source: Heather Dunbar / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>SkyWest</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/skyw-stock-quote/"><strong>SKYW</strong></a></span>) is up 172% in the past year but for the right reasons.</p>



<p>Its impressive Q1 showed <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/SKYW:NASDAQ">EPS of $1.45</a>, which was much higher than expected, coming in 26 cents above estimates. Revenue grew 16% YOY to $803.6 million. A big reason for this was a 5% rise in flight time. This growth shows that SkyWest&rsquo;s pilot staffing challenges are starting to improve. And strong demand continues from their partners like&nbsp;<strong>United</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ual-stock-quote/"><strong>UAL</strong></a></span>).</p>



<p>While the charter side of SkyWest&rsquo;s business remains small&nbsp;for now&nbsp;relative to everything else they do, prospects could strengthen as they move forward.&nbsp;I am very bullish due to&nbsp;the growth, and you&rsquo;re still paying just 11 times forward earnings for this execution.</p>



<h2>Sterling Infrastructure (STRL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/banks1600a-300x169.jpg" alt='Finger pointing at the word "banking"'><div>Source: PopTika/ShutterStock.com</div></div><p><strong>Sterling Infrastructure</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/strl-stock-quote/"><strong>STRL</strong></a></span>) has been delivering stellar returns. This stock is up 980% in the past five years and up over 202% in the past year. However, this is not a pure momentum play by any means, as the company has the fundamentals to back up this surge.</p>



<p>It had a great Q1, with&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4690173-sterling-infrastructure-inc-strl-q1-2024-earnings-call-transcript" target="_blank">earnings per share reaching $1</a>. This significantly beat analysts&rsquo; expectations by 18 cents, fueled by 9.1% revenue growth and margin expansion across all business segments. Also, order backlogs swelled to $2.35 billion, up 45% YOY. The cash flow growth has been tremendous so far.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-83.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-83.png" alt="STRL cash flow. growth stocks"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>Additionally, double-digit profit growth in the Energy and Facilities segment despite revenues dropping 10% looks bullish. Likewise, operating income in this division rose 12% as supply chain challenges eased and the business mix shifted toward more profitable projects. With a hefty $961 million order backlog, up 32%, this segment looks ready for a strong 2024.</p>



<p>Analysts&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/STRL/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">expect 18.6% EPS growth and 12.3% revenue growth</a>&nbsp;for all of 2024. Recently, management raised guidance. So, along with the backlog swelling, I wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised if they beat these expectations by big margins.</p>



<h2>Lasertec (LSRCY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/automation-economy-smart-manufacturing-300x169.png" alt="An image of the flow of automation; robot pushing a button, automated assembly line, AI brain, AV delivery, robotics. best manufacturing stocks"><div>Source: elenabsl/Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Lasertec Corporation&rsquo;s</strong>&nbsp;(OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lsrcy-stock-quote/"><strong>LSRCY</strong></a></span>) has seen positive momentum in the past year, but it has recently stalled. However, the company holds a big market share in semiconductor inspection and measurement.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-84.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-84.png" alt="LSRCY price. Growth stocks"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>In Q1, the company reported a staggering&nbsp;<a href="https://ssl4.eir-parts.net/doc/6920/ir_material_for_fiscal_ym5/154669/00.pdf">180% YOY increase in sales</a> of products related to semiconductors, reaching nearly 35 billion Japanese Yen. This surge in revenue was complemented by a 53% increase in service sales.</p>



<p>Further, new orders totaled an impressive 76.3 billion Japanese Yen, with a record 14 billion Japanese Yen in service orders. Also, the stock comes with a small 0.47% dividend yield.</p>



<p>However, I am worried about currency devaluation eating into these metrics. Lasertec&rsquo;s ADR has underperformed its regular stock on the Japanese stock exchange and could decline if the Yen tumbles more. But, if we see rate cuts soon, the Yen should bounce back. Japan&rsquo;s ultra-low rates make the currency unattractive for now, but I don&rsquo;t think the Yen will decline forever.</p>



<h2>AeroVironment (AVAV)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/aerovironment-avav-1600-300x169.png" alt="The logo for AeroVironment (AVAV) is seen through a magnifying glass on the company's website."><div>Source: Pavel Kapysh / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>AeroVironment</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/avav-stock-quote/"><strong>AVAV</strong></a></span>) is a drone company and a major defense contractor. These drones are becoming more and more critical, and the market is obviously bullish as the U.S. seeks to mass-produce drones in the coming years.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-85.png"><img width="1200" height="1100" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-85.png" alt="AVAV segments. growth stocks"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>AVAV&rsquo;s results for the most recent quarter were quite impressive, with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/AVAV:NASDAQ" target="_blank">revenue up 39% YOY, reaching almost $187 million</a>. This beat sales estimates by a massive 8.4%. EPS also beat by 83.1%. The top performer was their Loitering Munition segment, more than doubling revenue YOY due to the order surge for Switchblade drones.&nbsp;Over 20 countries express interest, and a potentially huge new contract from the U.S. on the horizon.</p>



<p>However, investors will want to monitor AeroVironment&rsquo;s ability to expand their production capacity for these increasingly large programs. One such program is the Marine Corps Organic Precision Fires initiative,&nbsp;which&nbsp;is&nbsp;being measured&nbsp;in the billions. If AVAV can scale up manufacturing capabilities while maintaining efficiency, their robust 12% YOY growth in pending orders could further accelerate. Management confidently projects double-digit revenue growth through fiscal year 2025. AVAV may still&nbsp;be undervalued&nbsp;despite its recent performance.</p>

This company is the world&rsquo;s largest airport operator by passenger volume. Its Q1&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4687841-aena-s-m-e-s-anyyy-q1-2024-earnings-call-transcript" target="_blank">passenger traffic soared 11.9%</a>&nbsp;YOY, with traffic at the company&rsquo;s airports recovering to 115.2% of 2019 levels. This substantial increase in demand resulted in a 20.1% jump in revenue to &euro;1.2 billion YOY. But, it&rsquo;s quite a bit lower converted to dollars due to the Euro&rsquo;s devaluation.</p>



<p>Regardless, management reiterated their forecast for full-year traffic&nbsp;implying&nbsp;7.1% growth. At the same time, ANYYY&rsquo;s expansion into Brazil through acquisitions opens up another avenue for increasing business. The company has sturdy margins as well.</p>

With travel demand still strong so far, Aena SME&rsquo;s future looks promising.</p>



<h2>GigaCloud (GCT)</h2>

Best E-Commerce Stocks"><div>Source: ST.art/Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>GigaCloud Technology</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gct-stock-quote/"><strong>GCT</strong></a></span>) is not a cloud company by any means. However, I&rsquo;m not complaining about the misleading name, considering this end-to-end B2B e-commerce company has delivered stellar gains of 177% since I first featured it in an article back in Dec. 2023. It specializes in big items like furniture. It has good upside potential still.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-87.png"><img width="1226" height="455" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/chart-87.png" alt="GCT price targets"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>Its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/GCT:NASDAQ" target="_blank">revenue is up 96.5% YOY</a>&nbsp;in Q1, and that beat estimates by 3.3%, along with EPS rising 69.2%, which also beat estimates by 64.7%. Their new &ldquo;Branding-as-a-Service&rdquo; approach seems promising. It allows sellers to benefit from well-known brand names and stand out amongst lots of competition in crowded markets. The&nbsp;acquisitions of&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/11/01/2771005/0/en/GigaCloud-Technology-Inc-Completes-Acquisition-of-Noble-House.html" target="_blank">Noble House</a></strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/wondersign_gigacloud-technology-inc-announces-acquisition-activity-7132849843110084609-7FfZ/" target="_blank">Wondersign</a></strong>&nbsp;appear to come at a good time, as GigaCloud diversifies what it offers customers while integrating these new businesses into its operations.</p>



<p>However, management&rsquo;s rosy outlook seems overly optimistic compared to recent softening consumer spending trends. An 8% decrease in furniture sales across the U.S. is concerning for future demand. Yet, GigaCloud&rsquo;s online presence should insulate them from headwinds.</p>



<p>Investors pay just 12 times forward earnings. And analysts <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/GCT/earnings/estimates">expect EPS to rise from $3 to $4.5</a>&nbsp;in the next two years. They also anticipate revenue rising from $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion in the same timeframe.&nbsp;</p>
