ADSK is introducing AutoConstrain in Fusion Automated Sketching. Autodesk AI will assist in analyzing and detecting intended spatial connections in project data and will provide dimensional constraints to manage design intention throughout the project.
Autodesk AI will allow users to examine 3D models through Drawing Automation and will generate 2D drawings needed to manufacture parts. This will save time.
Autodesk has launched an AI-powered Assistant in Fusion to provide real-time and on-demand expert insights related to ADSK-specific and general industry data.
ADSK is also integrating Paperless Parts and Avnet plugins into Fusion.
</div>
<h2>Alias Gets Form Explorer, ADSK Adds AI to Tools</h2>
Autodesk Alias will be powered by Form Explorer, an automative design generation tool. The enhancements will be easy to integrate across the segments and will aid in designing and manufacturing complex products.
ADSK has acquired NAVASTO, a company focused on the use of AI to accelerate design and engineering. NAVASTO brings wind tunnel simulation into Alias&#39; early creative design process. It enables designers to predict and optimize the drag coefficient over an automotive exterior and its aerodynamics. This reduces the likelihood of redesigns during engineering.
ADSK is integrating AI in creative tools &mdash; Arnold, Flame, Maya, and Wonder Studio &mdash; to fasten creative workflow.
ADSK&#39;s Wonder Studio will be made capable of anticipating character movement in spite of object obstruction and making natural poses with less noise and shaking.
Neutral Motion Control, Autodesk&#39;s latest prototype, will allow animators to direct action using limited keyframes and neural networks.
Autodesk also announced that it will now connect Autodesk Forma with Autodesk Docs to increase collaboration between platforms.
<h2>Autodesk Rides on Strong Portfolio</h2>
Autodesk shares have returned 9.5% in a month, outperforming the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector&#39;s appreciation of 4.7%.
ADSK has outperformed the Zacks Computer &ndash; Software industry and its peers like Intuit (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/intu#NASDAQ">INTU</a>), ANSYS (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anss#NASDAQ">ANSS</a>) and Verint Systems (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vrnt#NASDAQ">VRNT</a>).
Over the same time frame, shares of ANSYS have returned 3.3%, while Intuit and Verint have declined 3.7% and 11.6%, respectively. The industry has returned break-even YTD.
Autodesk&#39;s performance is gaining from new business growth, steady subscription renewal rates, and strong competitive performance. Higher demand for its cloud-based products, mobile solutions, and design suites is expected to drive the company&#39;s revenues over the long haul.
The rapid adoption of BIM 360 products and the success of the maintenance of the subscription program bode well for the growth of the company.
<h2>ADSK Guidance Positive</h2>
For fiscal 2025, ADSK expects revenues between $6.08 billion and $6.13 billion. In fiscal 2024, Autodesk generated total revenues of $5.5 billion.
For fiscal 2025, ADSK expects its non-GAAP earnings between $8.18 per share and $8.31 per share.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Autodesk expects revenues between $1.555 billion and $1.57 billion. Non-GAAP earnings are anticipated between $2.08 per share and $2.14 per share.
<h2>Earnings Estimates Are Bright for Autodesk</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ADSK&#39;s third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings is pegged at $2.11 per share, up by a penny over the past 30 days, and indicates 1.93% year-over-year growth.
The consensus mark for fiscal 2025 earnings is pegged at $8.24 per share, unchanged in the past 30 days, and indicates 8.42% year-over-year growth.
Autodesk&#39;s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.94%.
<h2>Autodesk Shares &ndash; Is it the Right Time to Jump in?</h2>
ADSK shares are overvalued, as suggested by a Value Score of D.
In terms of the forward 12-month Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio, ADSK is trading at 45.76X, higher than the Zacks Computer &amp; Technology sector&#39;s 27.09X.
However, ADSK&#39;s growth prospects, driven by product portfolio enhancement capable of capitalizing on the rapid adoption of designing and manufacturing, justifies the premium valuation.
Autodesk currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which implies that it is the right time for investors to accumulate ADSK stock.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Air Products & Chemicals Stock In The Last 20 Years

As cannabis legalization continues to expand across the U.S., its use among cancer patients has also increased significantly, particularly for managing symptoms like nausea, pain, anxiety and insomnia.
A recent <a href="https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2024/medical-cannabis-oncologists-patients-communication">blog entry</a> from Carmen Phillips at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a part of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41322400/curious-about-cannabis-edibles-fed-health-agency-funds-project-to-study-use-among-young-adults">National Institute of Health</a> (NIH), underscores the growing demand for more robust scientific research on cannabis, especially as more cancer patients turn to it as a form of relief.
Oncologists call attention to the urgent need to reschedule cannabis to facilitate further research and fill &#8220;the Cannabis-and-Cancer Information Gap&#8221;.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Cannabis Use Among Cancer Patients</h3>
Recent studies estimate that between 20% to 40% of cancer patients use cannabis or cannabinoids to manage side effects from both the disease and its treatment. With 38 states having legalized medical marijuana, patients are finding it easier than ever to access products.
Dr. Richard T. Lee, who heads the Cherng Family Center for Integrative Oncology at City of Hope in California, addressed the rising interest. &#8220;Patients are highly interested in cannabis to help them deal with cancer's physical and mental fallout.&#8221;
As additional states legalize cannabis for medical use, this trend is expected to grow, placing more pressure on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40900626/legal-medical-cannabis-could-save-us-healthcare-29b-annually-new-study-finds">healthcare</a> providers to understand the nuances of cannabis use.
While many <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oncology">oncologists</a> acknowledge that their patients are using cannabis, the lack of clinical evidence leaves them ill-prepared to offer concrete guidance. In a recent survey published by the NCI, nearly 40% of oncologists said they were comfortable discussing cannabis with their patients, but only 13% felt knowledgeable enough to provide accurate advice.
Similarly, other studies show that only 20% of patients using cannabis inform their oncologists.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rescheduling Cannabis To Advance Research</h3>
The NCI&#8217;s blog post highlights the pressing need for more research, particularly as cannabis remains classified as a Schedule I drug &#8211; the same category as heroin. This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38531432/deas-move-to-reclassify-cannabis-seen-as-significant-but-fails-to-resolve-state-federal-conflict">federal classification</a> restricts large-scale studies, limiting the ability of researchers to fully explore cannabis&#8217;s potential therapeutic benefits and risks for cancer patients.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-rescheduling">Rescheduling cannabis </a>to a lower classification could open doors for rigorous scientific studies that would offer clearer guidelines for healthcare providers.
&#8220;We absolutely … don't have a good handle on safety,&#8221; said Gary Ellison, Ph.D., M.P.H., of the NCI. He explained that the federal restrictions on cannabis make it difficult to conduct comprehensive research, creating gaps in knowledge that leave both patients and providers in the dark. &#8220;The potential harms, particularly with immunotherapy, are not fully understood. Without rescheduling, we can't investigate this properly.&#8221; 
One of the primary concerns among oncologists is how cannabis might interact with standard cancer treatments, particularly&nbsp;immunotherapy, which plays a critical role in treating certain types of cancer.

As Cannabis Use Grows Among Cancer Patients, Federal Agency Highlights Need For Rescheduling

During a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/DaM8VQgPisg?si=a4f1TLHMIXzfclyk&amp;t=1191">speech</a> at the Philadelphia City Committee dinner, President Joe Biden was unrestrained in his shots at his predecessor, Donald Trump. Biden fiercely ridiculed Trump for having bankrupted a casino, a move that particularly baffled him. &#8220;How is that possible? I thought the house always won,&#8221; Biden quipped, drawing laughs from the audience.

In A Brutal Takedown, Joe Biden Mocks Trump Bankrupting A Casino – 'How Is That Possible? I Thought The House Always Won'

Bank of America released a bullish note on gold Thursday, just as the precious metal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">reached new record highs</a> at $2,696 per ounce (oz).
Gold remains &#8220;the ultimate perceived safe haven asset&#8221; in today's macroeconomic environment, according to Bank of America&#8217;s commodity analyst Michael Widmer, amid rising concerns over U.S. fiscal policies and their potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries">impact on Treasury yields.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Trends Higher As Fed Shifts Policy</h3>
Despite nominal U.S. Treasury yields trending upward, gold prices, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), have been climbing in recent weeks, supported by various factors.
Widmer explained that a key driver behind this surge is the rising inflation expectations paired with the Federal Reserve's policy shifts.
Rate cuts triggered a surge in inflation expectations, which in turn kept downward pressure on real yields, increasing gold&#8217;s appeal as an inflation hedge.
&#8220;Accompanying the first Fed&#8217;s 50bp rate cut, inflation expectations have risen, meaning that 10-year real yields, usually the most significant gold price driver, kept declining through September,&#8221; Widmer said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Hits All-Time Highs On Oct. 17</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="464" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/17145515/image-156-1024x464.png" alt="" class="wp-image-601508" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/17145515/image-156-1024x464.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/17145515/image-156-300x136.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/17145515/image-156-768x348.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/17145515/image-156-1536x696.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/17145515/image-156.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Chart: <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent101724&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a></figcaption></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Fiscal Policy Boosts Bullish Gold Outlook</h3>
A key factor bolstering Bank of America's bullish stance on gold is the U.S.&#8217;s fiscal trajectory. 
Rising interest rates have significantly increased the federal government&#8217;s debt servicing costs, triggering concerns about fiscal sustainability. According to government projections, the national debt is projected to reach a new record high as a share of the U.S. economy within the next three years.
Widmer highlighted that &#8220;whoever wins the 2024 presidential election will face an unprecedented fiscal situation upon taking office. Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump seems to prioritize fiscal consolidation.&#8221;
The CRFB report details that Vice President Harris's proposed policies could increase the national debt by $3.5 trillion through 2035, while former President Trump's platform might raise it by as much as $7.5 trillion. "
The large and growing national debt threatens to &#8220;to slow economic growth, boost interest rates and payments, weaken national security, constrain policy choices, and&nbsp;raise&nbsp;the risk of an eventual fiscal crisis.&#8221;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Global Trends Also Favor Gold</h3>
According to Widmer, fiscal expansion policies are gaining traction across advanced economies, contributing to gold&#8217;s global appeal. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that new fiscal spending related to climate adaptation, demographic shifts, and rising defense costs could amount to 7-8% of global GDP annually by 2030.
This massive spending will likely force governments to issue more debt, and as volatility in the bond markets rises, gold will emerge as a refuge for investors, Widmer explained. 
Central banks are also anticipated to increase their gold holdings as part of currency reserve diversification. The share of global central bank reserves held in gold has climbed to 10%, up from just 3% a decade ago.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook for Gold: $3,000/oz By 2025</h3>
Bank of America sees gold reaching the $3,000/oz mark by the first half of 2025. The combination of macroeconomic uncertainty, rising debt levels, and central bank buying makes gold the &#8220;last safe haven asset standing.&#8221;

Gold Could Reach $3,000 By 2025, Bank Of America Analyst Says: 'Ultimate Perceived Safe Haven'

Source: <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2024/10/15/co-says-geoprobe-drilling-found-consistent-lithium-boron-concentrations.html?utm_medium=feed">Streetwise Reports 10/15/2024</a>
Canter Resources Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cnrcf#OTC">CNRCF</a>) announced promising brine assay results from Phase II geoprobe drilling at its Columbus Lithium-Boron Project near Tonopah, Nevada.
The company said the results show &quot;consistent lithium and boron concentrations identified across an expanded widespread area&quot; with initial multi-element analysis strengthening the project&#39;s &quot;potential for significant lithium and boron brine development.&quot;
&quot;We completed two phases of shallow drilling for a total of 20 drill holes . . . proving the basin&#39;s ability to generate mineralized brines from the surrounding source rocks and guiding our deeper discovery drilling&quot; Chief Executive Officer Joness Lang told Streetwise Reports.
Canter said solid sediment assays expected mid-Q4 will contribute to an updated 3D model of the basin and lead the way for Phase III exploration plans.
According to the company, the phased shallow drilling program shows that the Columbus Basin can generate the same lithium-boron mix in brines as Ioneer&#39;s (CA$300 million market cap) nearby Rhyolite Ridge sediment deposit. Rhyolite Ridge shares volcanic source rocks with Columbus.
&quot;Rhyolite Ridge is at feasibility stage, and we are building the foundation for a major discovery at Columbus, but these shallow results certainly support our vision for value creation&quot; Lang said. &quot;The lithium results at this depth are as expected and fit the widely adopted basin deposit model (Clayton Valley), while the boron results have exceeded expectations and point to the significant co-product multi-commodity potential at Columbus.&quot;
<h2>Lithium on its Way Up?</h2>
The lithium sector has been on a roller coaster this year. It peaked at a high of more than US$79,637 per ton in 2022, but expected sales of electric vehicles (EVs) did not materialize, and prices hit their lowest point in three years in 2024.
But in an article for Reuters, Andy Home wrote that the slowdown could easily be reversed.
&quot;One critical facilitator will be the build-out of EV charging infrastructure, a sector which has attracted far less investment than battery manufacturing&quot; he wrote. &quot;Car buyers in Europe and the United States are choosing hybrids because of range anxiety, and they will continue to do so until they see more charging points. The second key factor is price.&quot;
<blockquote class="callOut left">Jeff Clark, in The Gold Advisor, pointed out the strategic importance of the company&#39;s drilling efforts. &quot;There is a lot of activity ahead for this young company on a project that shows the potential to match what its neighbors have&quot; he wrote.</blockquote>
However, &quot;the seeds of the next lithium upswing are already being sown in the current low-price environment&quot; Home wrote.
Clearly, one major mining company is taking that bet. Rio Tinto has agreed to a US$6.7 billion takeover of Arcadium Lithium, offering US$5.85 per share in cash for the company a 90% premium to the stock&#39;s closing price at the end of last week, David Winning and Julie Steinberg wrote for Reuters on Wednesday.
&quot;Rio Tinto expects demand for lithium to rise in the decade ahead because of the metal&#39;s importance to EVs and in large batteries that store electricity that can be released into the grid when consumption surges&quot; the authors noted. &quot;The U.S. has designated lithium as a critical mineral.&quot;
Boron is also essential to the energy transition. The Business Research Co. reports the global market has grown &quot;exponentially in recent years&quot; and forecasts it will reach US$7.99 billion this year, up from US$6.57 billion in 2023, reflecting a 21.7% CAGR. Rapid growth is expected to continue in the sector through 2028, at which time the market is projected to reach US$12.68 billion.
<h2>&#39;Very Encouraging Signs&#39;</h2>
In the new Phase II results, Canter said infill drill hole CB24-023G returned 871 milligrams per liter (mg/L) boron and the highest dissolved boron concentration from Canter&#39;s drilling to date, 820 mg/L. This provides further &quot;evidence of significant boron concentrations with increasing grades at depth&quot; the company said in a release.
The Phase II lithium results also continued to demonstrate the consistent, widespread anomalous lithium mineralization in brines. Shallow drilling to-date has returned several brine samples greater than 40 mg/L and a peak value of 76.4 mg/L in the upper 30 meters, Canter said.
Data from Albemarle&#39;s Silver Peak lithium brine operation in Clayton Valley show lithium concentrations increase with depth, and Canter&#39;s lithium concentrations in the upper 100 feet (~30 meters) are &quot;very comparable, with higher peak values than historically observed in Clayton Valley from the upper 100 meters&quot; Lang said.
The company believes there should be &quot;higher-grade lithium in the reservoirs and structural traps in this basin as we drill deeper&quot; he noted. &quot;That would fit the basin deposit model methodology used throughout the western U.S.A.&quot; he added.
These are &quot;all really encouraging signs from very cost-effective shallow drilling that&#39;s all intended to help vector us towards the best places to take our discovery shots when drilling deeper in subsequent campaigns&quot; Lang said. &quot;So, we&#39;re really encouraged with what we&#39;ve seen.&quot;
<h2>Elements Vital to Energy Transition</h2>
Lithium is a critical metal vital in the energy transition for its use in batteries for EVs and other applications. It also is used in electronics, medicine and other industries.
According to a report by Grand View Research, market size for the metal was estimated at US$31.75 billion last year and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7% from this year through 2030.
&quot;The automotive application segment is expected to witness substantial growth, driven by stringent regulations imposed by government bodies on ICE automakers to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles&quot; researchers at Grand View said. &quot;This has shifted the interest of automakers toward producing EVs, which is anticipated to benefit the demand for lithium and related products.&quot;
EVs and battery storage primarily will fuel future growth of the lithium market, Marin Katusa of Katusa Research wrote recently. He pointed out that all major electric vehicle batteries require lithium, about 1.55 pounds per kilowatt hour of battery capacity, on average.
&quot;I think the data speaks for itself that there&#39;s more growth and opportunity on the horizon&quot; Katusa wrote.
Boron/borates are used in applications in agriculture, metallurgy, nuclear energy, and advanced materials, Mordor Intelligence noted. The increasing use of fiberglass in various end-user industries is also boosting demand for the element.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, borates are also used in abrasives, cleaning products, insecticides, insulation, ceramics, and semiconductors.
&quot;Growing demand for electronic products and increasing penetration of fiberglass in markets conventionally held by concrete and steel are expected to drive boron market growth&quot; Grand View Research noted. &quot;Fiberglass penetration in turbine blades in wind power generation is also expected to have positive influence on boron market development. An increase in construction spending, leading to fiberglass demand for a communal structure such as bridges and roads is expected to come up as a new opportunity for the global market. The scarcity of boron, very concentrated reserves, and multifaceted manufacturing process may be a challenge for participants in the global market.&quot;
<h2>&#39;A Great Basin of Lithium and Boron&#39;</h2>
Chen Lin wrote in his newsletter What Is Chen Buying? What Is Chen Selling? that Canter &quot;is looking good [and the Columbus project] hosts a great basin of lithium and boron though the market is not looking at it.&quot;
Jeff Clark, in The Gold Advisor, pointed out the strategic importance of the company&#39;s drilling efforts.
&quot;There is a lot of activity ahead for this young company on a project that shows the potential to match what its neighbors have&quot; he wrote.
<h2>Ownership and Share Structure</h2>
According to the company, managers and insiders own about 9.6% of Canter Resources, and strategic investors (including the founding group and Michael Gentile &amp; Advisors) own about 12%.

The Medical Services sector is experiencing significant evolution driven by innovation and digital applications. Growing demand for remote treatment has led to a tremendous upsurge in digital healthcare options over the past few years. Demand for digital healthcare treatment continues to grow in the form of telemedicine-focused online medical and AI-powered technology services backed by the adoption of data and analytics.
According to a recent Mordor Intelligence report, the global healthcare analytics market is expected to surpass $130 billion by 2029, witnessing a CAGR of 22.9% from 2024 to 2029. Primary stakeholders &mdash; payers, healthcare professionals and patients &mdash; will benefit from all-new insights, services and levels of experience that next-generation healthcare-related data and analytical capabilities provide. Stocks like Elevance Health, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/elv#NYSE">ELV</a>), Doximity (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/docs#NYSE">DOCS</a>)&nbsp;and HealthEquity (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hqy#NASDAQ">HQY</a>) are expected to gain the most from the rapidly transforming healthcare services landscape.
However, in the post-pandemic era, manual workforce shortage within healthcare has become a worldwide problem, weighing heavily on healthcare infrastructure. According to an August 2024 report by Mercer, there will be a deficit of more than 100,000 healthcare workers in the United States by 2028. Within this, nursing assistants will have the biggest projected deficit compared to other healthcare occupations, signaling the need to improve talent attraction and retention strategies for this segment. By 2028, Mercer expects a projected deficit of over 73,000 nursing assistants nationwide. This has led to increased labor cost and health expenses.
Industry Description
The Zacks Medical Services industry comprises third-party service providers and caregivers appointed by core healthcare companies for economies of scale. The industry includes pharmacy benefit managers, contract research organizations, wireless MedTech companies, third-party testing labs, surgical facility providers and healthcare workforce solution providers, among others. Over the years, this industry has strategically moved from volume- to value-based care. This changing pattern of care calls for advanced facilities, thus increasing the need to appoint specialized external service providers. With the growing importance of effective healthcare management, the medical service industry has become an integral part of the modern healthcare system.
3 Trends Shaping the Future of the Medical Services Industry
Digital Revolution: With an increase in the adoption of digital platforms within the medical device space, remote monitoring, robotic surgeries, big-data analytics, 3D printing and electronic health records are gaining prominence in the United States. A 2024 digital health market report by Statista suggests that this market will witness a 9.2% CAGR from 2024 to 2028, resulting in a projected market volume of $275 billion by 2028. Other reports suggest that companies that adopted artificial intelligence technologies witnessed a 50% reduction in treatment costs and experienced more than 50% improvement in patient outcomes.
Revival in Nursing Care Market: With rising cognizance about the benefits of specialized medical caregiving, the need for healthcare workforce/staffing service providers has increased significantly. Despite challenges like workforce shortages and increased costs, the market is rebounding post-pandemic. Factors such as rising chronic diseases, healthcare awareness and strategic initiatives by companies and governments drive this growth. For example, the demand for nurses has increased manifold, driven by the rising incidence of chronic disorders in the United States, and is expected to be high in the days ahead. Per a Research and Markets report, the global healthcare staffing market size is expected to reach $62.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030.
Staffing Shortage: Despite the end of the healthcare emergency (WHO declared the end of COVID-19 as a global health emergency on May 5), the trauma of the past few years&#39; uncertainty and commotion has forced frontline workers like doctors and medical staff to leave the field. Added to this, a drastic increase in the aging population in recent times (about 10,000 individuals aged 59-77 are joining Medicare plans daily) has made the healthcare staffing shortage more pronounced. In the article &quot;A Public Health Crisis: Staffing Shortages in Health Care&quot; published in Favorite Healthcare Staffing, WHO predicts a shortfall of 15 million healthcare workers worldwide in 2030. Needless to say, this supply shortage has led to a significant rise in healthcare wages. Going by a HR for Health report,&nbsp; increased labor costs and staffing challenges have led to a rise in hospital expenses.

3 Medical Services Stocks to Buy to Navigate Industry Challenges

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) shares are trading narrowly higher Thursday. Multiple analysts raised price targets ahead of earnings in two weeks. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: Mizuho analyst James Lee maintained Meta with an Outperform rating and raised the price target from&nbsp;$600&nbsp;to&nbsp;$650 as he anticipates a beat-and-raise quarter from the tech giant later this month.
The Mizuho analyst noted that a series of ad agency checks shows that ad spending is ahead of consensus estimates and at the high-end of Meta&#8217;s guidance for 20% growth year-over-year. Lee believes the strength in ad spending is being driven by political advertising.
&#8220;Although the stock is a crowded trade into the print, we believe it is the only big tech internet name that could beat and raise with substantial optionality in messaging and Gen-AI for creative,&#8221; the analyst said.

TD Cowen analyst John Blackledge also released a positive update on Meta on Thursday. The analyst maintained Meta with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">Buy rating</a> and raised the price target from&nbsp;$600&nbsp;to&nbsp;$675 ahead of earnings. 
Meta is scheduled to report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41128762/meta-to-announce-third-quarter-2024-results">third-quarter financial results</a> after the market close on Oct. 30. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $5.23 per share and revenue of $40.238 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Last quarter, Meta <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/07/33402682/meta-platforms-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-and-eps-beat-guidance-update-lower-costs-compelling-a">beat analyst estimates</a> as revenue jumped&nbsp;11% year-over-year and daily actives climbed 7%. The company noted at the time that ads delivered were up 34% year-over-year, while the average price per ad was down 16%.
&#8220;We had a good quarter. We continue to see strong engagement across our apps and we have the most exciting roadmap I&#8217;ve seen in a while with Llama 2, Threads, Reels, new AI products in the pipeline, and the launch of Quest 3 this fall,&#8221; CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in the second-quarter earnings release. 
Meta has exceeded analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines in six consecutive quarters, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga data</a>. 
META Price Action: Meta shares were up 0.11% at $577.44 at the time of publication. Meta shares are up approximately 63% year-to-date, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Analysts Lift Price Targets On Meta Platforms Stock Ahead Of Q3 Earnings: Here's Why

NRG Energy shares are trading lower after the company announced an upsized senior notes offering priced at $1.875 billion due 2033 and 2034.

The Israeli military confirmed on Thursday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41385179/hamas-chief-oct-7-mastermind-yahya-sinwar-possibly-dead-idf-conducts-dna-tests-after-gaza-clash">the death of Yahya Sinwar</a>, the top leader of Hamas, with one word: &#8220;Eliminated.&#8221; 
What Happened: Israel Defense Forces killed Sinwar — Israel's most wanted target since the war with Hamas began on Oct. 7 — in a firefight in Gaza.
Sinwar orchestrated an assault that killed about 1,200 people and led to the abduction of over 200 others.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

In a prepared <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/10/17/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-the-death-of-yahya-sinwar/">statement</a>, President Joe Biden said the IDF &#8220;relentlessly pursued Hamas's leaders&#8221; with the help of U.S. intelligence.
&#8220;There has rarely been a military campaign like this, with Hamas leaders living and moving through hundreds of miles of tunnels, organized in multiple stories underground, determined to protect themselves with no care for the civilians suffering above ground,&#8221; Biden said. 
&#8220;Today, however, proves once again that no terrorists anywhere in the world can escape justice, no matter how long it takes.&#8221;
Sinwar's body was retrieved after an exchange of fire on Wednesday, according to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/10/17/world/israel-lebanon-iran-gaza-news?campaign_id=190&amp;emc=edit_ufn_20241017&amp;instance_id=137113&amp;nl=from-the-times&amp;regi_id=136109156&amp;segment_id=180692&amp;user_id=e415429009fa21c5b8b4141c24d72bca">New York Times</a>, citing Israeli authorities. His identity was verified using dental records and fingerprints that matched those on file, Israel Police said. There was no immediate response from Hamas regarding his death.

Why It Matters: Sinwar's killing marks a significant development in the yearlong conflict. 
So far, the war in Gaza devastated the region and its people. Despite being only 141 square miles, Gaza is home to over 2 million people. 
Gaza's health ministry reports over 41,000 deaths. Per the Associated Press, Gaza's health ministry <a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-gaza-health-ministry-health-death-toll-59470820308b31f1faf73c703400b033">doesn't distinguish between civilians and combatants</a>. About 1.9 million Palestinians have been <a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-anniversary-statistics-e61765035c725b3c8d4840e2bab565cd">displaced</a>.
Sinwar&#8217;s death also presents an &#8220;opportunity&#8221; to proceed with negotiations between Israel and Hamas and end the war, Vice President Kamala Harris said, per <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-17/harris-says-sinwar-s-death-offers-opportunity-to-end-gaza-war?srnd=phx-latest&amp;sref=TBDibEcD&amp;embedded-checkout=true">Bloomberg</a>. 
Both sides remain deadlocked over key issues. 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation and promised the Israeli military would secure the release of all hostages. See below for coverage via CNN.

Israeli Military, With Help Of US Intelligence, 'Relentlessly Pursued' Deceased Hamas Leader

Imperial College London's Center for Psychedelic Research is recruiting couples who plan to consume <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mdma-assisted-therapy">MDMA</a> or other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/psychedelics">psychedelics</a> in real-world settings for a study examining the effects on relationship intimacy, attachment and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/02/37124528/can-psychedelics-increase-sexual-interest-and-satisfaction-study-says-yes-and-effects-can-last-m">satisfaction</a>. As DoubleBlind <a href="https://doubleblindmag.com/psychedelics-for-your-relationship/">reported</a>, the study will explore both the short- and long-term psychological impacts of shared psychedelic experiences between romantic partners.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Study Focus: Intimacy, Attachment, and Relationship Satisfaction</h3>
The <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35031922/">research</a>, led by PhD candidate Tommaso Barba will build on <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/20275204_Subjective_Reports_of_the_Effects_of_MDMA_in_a_Clinical_Setting">previous studies</a> that suggest MDMA may enhance communication and improve relationship dynamics. Participants will complete a series of <a href="https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90617328/Psychedelics-and-Couples-Sign-up">questionnaires</a> before and after their psychedelic experiences, but no substances will be provided as part of the study.
Couples will have the chance to contribute valuable insights to growing scientific interest in how psychedelics can affect romantic relationships, including their potential to improve communication and resolve conflicts. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Research Matters: Enhancing Communication And Addressing Conflict</h3>
"Another promising research direction involves addressing specific relationship issues, including communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts and intimacy barriers,&#8221; Barba told DoubleBlind. &#8220;By leveraging the empathogenic effects of substances like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psilocybin">psilocybin</a> and MDMA, researchers aim to develop tailored interventions that safely and effectively address these issues within a supportive therapeutic environment."
Albert Garcia-Romeu, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins Medicine, <a href="https://time.com/6262291/psychedelics-mdma-couples-therapy/">told</a> TIME that "If there's a long-held resentment or disagreement in a couple and people are too hurt or too wounded or too guarded to talk about that, but then you're able to use the drug to temporarily get guards down … that can really help clear out a lot of emotional baggage."
Beyond the positive outlook, therapists have cautioned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psychedelic-assisted-therapies">psychedelic-assisted therapy</a> is not a quick fix and requires active participation from both partners in what can be a difficult process. Notably, MDMA is thought to evoke temporary feelings of love, which might bond dysfunctional couples but could also lead to unresolved issues resurfacing later on, or even accelerating break-ups.
