Acciones de Uber suben tras expansión de asociación con Waymo

Sallie Mae Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLM#NASDAQ">SLM</a>) stock is trading higher on Wednesday. Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) initiated coverage of the student loan provider with a Buy rating and set a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/09/41012042/demystifying-slm-insights-from-7-analyst-reviews">price target of $27</a>.
The Details: Sallie Mae currently holds a 58% market share in private student loans, however, the bank indicates there&#8217;s room for growth, describing the lender as &#8220;poised for market share gains.&#8221;
Bank of America points to growth in college enrollment, increase in the price of college and competitors leaving the student loan market to support its market share growth belief. Specifically, the bank stated that college enrollment is estimated to grow by about 4% by 2027 and the cost of college has increased at a 3% compound annual growth rate since 1993-94.
The bank pointed to the past as evidence of Sallie Mae&#8217;s ability to take advantage of competitors exit from the market. For instance, the lender increased its market share by 60pbs during the 2021-22 school year following Wells Fargo&#8217;s exit.
Also, the bank highlighted the lender&#8217;s focus on high credit-quality consumers. It stated that less than 8% of borrowers at the time of originations had a credit score lower than 670. Next, the note recognized the lender&#8217;s efficient business model.
&#8220;Sallie Mae began a strategy in 2020 in which it seeks to minimize balance sheet growth and accelerate share repurchases by selling student loans at high execution levels due to its strong credit profile. Through the &#8220;loan sale arbitrage&#8221; strategy, SLM has driven attractive returns, while not needing to expand capital levels to sustain its industry leading origination volumes,&#8221; said the bank.
Bank of America also recognized some risks to its thesis including, scrutiny by oversight organizations like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and a growing number of students choosing to consolidate or refinance with firms that offer interest rates lower than Sallie Mae&#8217;s.

What's Going On With Sallie Mae Stock Wednesday?

Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/riot#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) has experienced a 52.7% decline in its stock year to date, a sharp contrast to the 25.1% growth seen in its industry and the 19.6% increase in the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite.
This downturn mirrors the performance of other cryptocurrency-focused stocks, such as Cipher Mining (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cifr#NASDAQ">CIFR</a>), down 27.6%, and Marathon Digital (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mara#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), which has fallen 31.6% during the same period.
<h2>Year-to-Date Price Performance</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/fb/79026.jpg?v=770011763" style="height:310px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The stock recently closed at $7.33, hovering near its 52-week low of $6.36, and is trading below its 50-day moving average, reflecting bearish investor sentiment.
With RIOT shares continuing to show weakness, investors may be considering whether now is the right time to buy. Let&#39;s explore further.
<h2>RIOT&#39;s Post-Halving Obstacles and Financial Difficulties</h2>
One of the primary reasons for RIOT&#39;s downward trajectory is the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)&nbsp;halving event, which has significantly increased operational challenges for miners, including Riot. The halving means that each ASIC miner now needs to work double as hard to mine the same amount of Bitcoin, but the anticipated price increase for Bitcoin has not occurred to balance this increased difficulty. Riot&#39;s Bitcoin production decreased 13% sequentially in August 2024, highlighting the operational inefficiencies and increased challenges the company faces due to the halving.
The drop in production underscores the broader issues Riot is grappling with in its mining operations. In the second quarter of 2024, the company mined 844 Bitcoins, a 52% decrease year over year. This decline is primarily attributed to a significant increase in the Bitcoin network difficulty since January 2023. These operational challenges have put the company in a risky financial position, potentially leading to further share dilution as it seeks funding, which would result in additional losses for shareholders.
<h2>RIOT&#39;s Declining Estimates</h2>
Four estimates for 2024 moved south over the past 60 days versus no northward revisions. Over the same period, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 earnings has declined 75.9%. This indicates a lack of confidence among analysts in the company&#39;s ability to improve its financial performance soon.
<h2>Entry Into the Stock Seems Risky</h2>
While some investors may be tempted to buy at these low levels, the company&#39;s current operational struggles, coupled with analysts&#39; downward revisions for 2024 earnings estimates, signal uncertainty.
Given RIOT&#39;s steep decline year to date and its significant challenges following the Bitcoin halving, a &quot;Hold&quot; recommendation seems appropriate at this time. The post-halving environment has made mining more difficult, and RIOT&#39;s Bitcoin production dropped in August 2024, further reflecting operational inefficiencies. Additionally, with a sharp decrease in Bitcoin mined in the second quarter of 2024 and a notable rise in Bitcoin network difficulty, the company faces heightened financial risks.
Investors should adopt a wait-and-watch approach to assess whether Riot can overcome its post-halving challenges before making further investment decisions.
RIOT currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Shares of oil and gas companies are trading lower, possibly as the sector pulls back after rallying on Tuesday due to China stimulus efforts and Middle East tension. Also, a report suggests that rival factions in Libya have resumed talks.

Lockheed Martin Corporation&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lmt#NYSE">LMT</a>) unit, Sikorsky Aircraft, recently secured an $84.3 million contract to supply eight gearbox assemblies for the CH-53K helicopters. The work will be carried out in Stratford, CT, and is set to be completed by December 2028.
The contract will serve the U.S. Navy and Israel military. The award has been provided by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support, Philadelphia, PA.
<h2>What&#39;s Favoring LMT Stock?</h2>
With countries worldwide enhancing their defense capabilities, spending on advanced military arms and ammunition has been rapidly increasing. This also includes growing investments in military helicopters, which are crucial for air warfare missions. Lockheed, as a prominent manufacturer of combat helicopters, has been witnessing a steady flow of orders from the Pentagon and other U.S. allies. The latest contract win is an example of that.
LMT&#39;s CH-53K King Stallion is designed for modern combat and shipboard operations, being intelligent, reliable, low-maintenance and highly survivable in harsh environments. With more than 1,200 test flight hours, the helicopter achieved several milestones in 2018, including operating at high altitudes, extreme temperatures and low visibility.
These capabilities are likely to have driven this rotorcraft&#39;s demand in recent times and are expected to lead to more contract awards for Lockheed Martin in the days ahead. Such order flows, including the latest one, are expected to boost the company&#39;s revenues, thereby solidifying its position as a leading defense contractor in military aviation.
<h2>Growth Prospects for LMT Stock</h2>
Rising military conflicts, terrorism and border disputes, along with rapid technological advancements in military helicopters, have led nations to increase their defense spending, with combat-proven helicopters constituting an integral part of a nation&#39;s defense structure.
This is likely to have prompted Mordor Intelligence to forecast a compound annual growth rate of more than 2.9% for the military helicopter market during the 2024-2030 time period.
Such solid market prospects offer growth opportunities for Lockheed Martin. Notably, its portfolio includes well-established helicopters like the Black Hawk, MH-60R Seahawk and CH-148 Cyclone, in addition to the CH-53K King Stallion.
<h2>Opportunities for LMT&#39;s Peers</h2>
Some other defense companies that are expected to enjoy the perks of the expanding military helicopter market have been discussed below.
The Boeing Company: Its military rotorcraft serves the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force and allied defense forces in more than 20 countries across the globe. Boeing&#39;s Defense, Space &amp; Security segment produces rotorcraft and rotary-wing programs, such as H-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache, AH-6 Little Bird and V-22 Osprey.
The company has a long-term (three to five years) earnings growth rate of 21.3%.&nbsp; The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BA&#39;s 2025 sales indicates year-over-year growth of 21.7%.
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/noc#NYSE">NOC</a>): Its Fire Scout is a combat-proven, autonomous helicopter system providing real-time intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and target-acquisition, laser designation and battle management to tactical users without relying on manned aircraft or space-based assets. NOC also provides avionics systems, mission equipment and support for military helicopters, including upgrades and modifications.
The company&#39;s long-term earnings growth rate is 8.7%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NOC&#39;s 2024 sales indicates year-over-year growth of 5.4%.
Textron (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/txt#NYSE">TXT</a>):&nbsp; Its Bell business segment supplies advanced military helicopters and provides parts and support services to the U.S. Government and military customers outside the United States. Its primary combat helicopters include H-1, Bell 412, Bell AH-1Z, Bell 407 and a few more rotorcraft.
TXT boasts a long-term earnings growth rate of 10.1%. The consensus estimate for TXT&#39;s 2024 sales indicates year-over-year growth of 5.5%.
<h2>LMT Stock&#39;s Price Movement</h2>
Shares of LMT have gained 24.7% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s 8.2% growth.

<h2>LMT&#39;s Zacks Rank</h2>

In the current session, the stock is trading at $276.00, after a 1.04% increase. Over the past month, Burlington Stores Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>) stock increased by 0.80%, and in the past year, by 104.89%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727291720_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Burlington Stores 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. 
Burlington Stores has a better P/E ratio of 41.26 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.74 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that Burlington Stores Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727291720_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.

What's Going On With Walt Disney Stock Today?

After experiencing a declining trend since its highs in 2021, Intel Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/intc#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) stock is now trading at a mere 43% of its 52-week high today. While this price action could have caused most to avoid such underperformance, there are others who can spot and appreciate the deep value aspect of this steep discount, one that can be taken advantage of today.
For reasons that investors will clear up in a bit, Intel and not peers like Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mu#NASDAQ">MU</a>) got the benefit of the doubt from the United States government in a recent grant to further build out the semiconductor supply chain domestically. The technology sector has seen major swings since COVID-19, though these two chip makers fell behind by a significant rate.
This could change for Intel stock soon; however, last week alone, it rallied by nearly 10% to end the period on a new announcement. But, before investors know which event drove the stock higher to the end of the week, they should know that the semiconductor industry could be about to shift into its sales cycle as supply tightens and margins improve for Intel.
<h2>Qualcomm&#39;s $100 Billion Starting Takeover Bid for Intel: How High Could It Go?</h2>
Considering that Intel rose to a near $100 billion market capitalization, investors could safely assume that Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qcom#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) has to make the starting takeover bid at this price. The fact is, however, that Intel shareholders will likely command a premium price on their holdings, especially after recent events.
So, how high can the bid go? Investors can look to Wall Street analysts for some guidance, particularly their earnings per share (EPS) growth forecasts. At $0.02 a share, analysts expect Intel to earn up to $0.23 EPS in the next 12 months.
Now that Wall Street expects Intel to see a tenfold increase in profits, analysts at Northland Securities decided to keep their &quot;Outperform&quot; rating on Intel stock and boosted their valuations to $42 a share. To prove these valuations right, Intel stock would need to rally by as much as 92.6% from where it trades today.
Despite the stock&#39;s underperformance over the past three years, Intel has managed to accumulate enough bullish trends to shake off a few bears. In the past month, Intel stock&#39;s short interest declined by 9.6%, showing signs of bearish capitulation, leaving room for bulls to take their place instead.
Some of the bulls that came in to lead the way include Legal &amp; General Group, which boosted their holdings in Intel sock by 1.3% as of August 2024. This may seem like little on a percentage basis. Still, the addition netted the Group&#39;s investment in Intel stock at a $1.2 billion level today.
However, this is only a small percentage of the $13.6 billion in institutional capital that entered the company over the past 12 months, one factor that investors should watch out for in the coming months as these takeover talks take place.
<h2>Intel Stock Gains Another Major Backer as Markets Spot a Massive Discount</h2>
Recently, the government announced another round of grants for the semiconductor industry, and this time, Intel stock earned its place in the funding list with $3.5 billion in grants. It is important for investors to keep this in mind for the following reasons.
It wasn&#39;t NVIDIA Co.&nbsp;that received these grants, and it wasn&#39;t Micron Technology that received a takeover bid from Qualcomm despite having a similar market capitalization ($100.8 billion) to Intel. This confidence from investors and the government directly adds value to the company&#39;s brand.
This news also created interest in the sock, another important gauge for investors to consider when evaluating this potential value play. Intel stock has an average volume of 57.6 million, and recently, the volume spiked to 260.4 million shares.
The combination of good news and Intel&#39;s discount caused this much volume to come into the company, showing interest from new buyers. Here&#39;s how steep of a discount Intel offers investors today, the same discount that Qualcomm probably considered when reviewing its takeover bid.
Comparing price-to-book (P/B) ratios between Intel and the computer sector would show this divergence. Intel stock now trades at a low of 0.8x P/E, a discount not only to its own book value but also to the industry&#39;s average valuation of 7.0x P/B.

Oil is trading lower. The price of the commodity gained on Tuesday amid China stimulus efforts and Middle East tensions but has since reversed. It was also reported that rival factions in Libya have resumed talks.

Duolingo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUOL#NASDAQ">DUOL</a>) saw its stock spike over 8% on Wednesday thanks to bullish price target revisions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DUOL/analyst-ratings">from top analysts</a>.
<ul>
<li>Needham has upped its price target to $310</li>
<li>JMP Securities set a new target at $275</li>
<li>Bank of America chimed in with an increase to $298, and</li>
<li>JPMorgan capped it all off with an upward revision to $303. </li>
</ul>
This wave of optimism stems from Duolingo's strategic use of Generative AI and large language models (LLMs). JPMorgan analyst Bryan M. Smilek stated, "We believe Duolingo is leveraging GenAI/LLMs to achieve its goal of teaching as effectively as a human tutor." 
These technologies are "transforming the learner experience, increasing the velocity of product optimizations &amp; content development, deepening teaching efficacy, &amp; driving cost efficiencies,&#8221; he adds.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Short Sellers Beware: Squeeze Potential Looms</h2>
But it's not just the rosy analyst outlook that's turning heads. Duolingo&#8217;s short interest metrics could set the stage for a thrilling trading environment. 
With a short interest of 5.8%, there&#8217;s a moderate level of bearish sentiment suggesting some investors are betting on a price decline. 
The days to cover stands at 5.82, meaning it would take almost six days of typical trading volume to cover all short positions. This scenario creates a ripe opportunity for a short squeeze if the stock keeps climbing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Low Float, High Stakes: Volatility Ahead</h2>
Adding to the excitement, Duolingo's extremely low float of around 35-40 million shares makes it susceptible to significant price swings. 
With daily volumes typically under half a million shares, even a minor buying or selling spree could lead to major fluctuations, amplified by large bid/ask spreads.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Potential Rollercoaster Ahead</h2>
So, while Duolingo is currently riding high on positive analyst sentiment, traders should remain vigilant regarding short interest dynamics. 
If the stock continues its upward trend, the potential for a short squeeze could lead to a wild ride, making this a thrilling stock to watch in the days ahead.

Duolingo Stock Soars On Target Hikes: Is A Short Squeeze Brewing?

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares surged on Tuesday following reports that CEO Jensen Huang completed selling company stock under a trading plan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41010963/nvidia-stock-is-ripping-higher-tuesday-whats-going-on">earlier than expected. </a>
Huang's early exit from his Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, originally set to run through March 2025, signals potential market confidence, aligning with key technical patterns that suggest shifting investor sentiment.
Many technical analysts don't understand that technical analysis is, or should be, the study of investor and trader psychology. These misinformed analysts look at charts and try to identify patterns without understanding the dynamics and price action that make these patterns form.
Ascending and descending triangles are traditional technical analysis patterns that tend to be reliable. Both of them are shown on the chart of Nvidia. That's why it is our Stock of the Day.
In June and July, a ‘descending triangle' formed on the chart on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA">NVIDIA</a>. This pattern is a graphical illustration of aggressive sellers and complacent or patient buyers.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="625" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/25150205/nvda-chart-1024x625.png" alt="" class="wp-image-566319" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/25150205/nvda-chart-1024x625.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/25150205/nvda-chart-300x183.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/25150205/nvda-chart-768x469.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/25150205/nvda-chart.png 1186w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The buyers were willing to wait for the sellers to come to them. They were content to stay around the $123 level, which is why, as time passed, the support line on the lower part of the pattern became horizontal.
But over the same time, the sellers became more aggressive. They were willing to sell at lower prices. This is why the resistance line at the top of the pattern was descending or slanted lower.
Aggressive selling and patient buying set the stage for a stock to move lower. This is why the descending triangle is a bearish pattern, suggesting that NVIDIA was going to break the support line and move lower, which is what happened.

Now an ascending triangle pattern has formed on the chart. This is an illustration of the opposite dynamics that make a descending triangle pattern form.
In this case, as time has gone by it's the sellers who have been patient. They have been willing to remain at their prices and let the buyers come to them. This is why the resistance line at the top of the pattern is horizontal.
But over the same time, the buyers became increasingly aggressive. They were willing to pay higher prices. This is why the support line of the pattern is ascending or slanted upwards.
Aggressive buyers and patient sellers are dynamics that tend to be bullish for a market. It could mean that NVIDIA will break the resistance around $123 and rally.
If understood and applied correctly, technical analysis is a study of investor and trader psychology.
A descending triangle illustrates aggressive sellers and complacent buyers, often setting the stage for a move lower. An ascending triangle illustrates aggressive buyers and complacent sellers, potentially leading to a move higher.
Successful traders understand the psychology and price action that makes technical analysis patterns form on charts. This is why they make money.

Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices trading relatively flat, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1838976431222583318">marked</a> $63,300 as Bitcoin's most important support level. If it holds, the crypto king can rise to $65,500, but if it doesn&#8217;t, it could dive to $60,365.
Stockmoney Lizards sees Bitcoin as "frontrunning the cycle." The current levels are aligning with the previous cycle.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Trading Flat: 'Friday Is A Big Day For Bitcoin—Options Expiry Could Lead To Upside Volatility'

Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach reiterated the Buy rating on Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NKE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $105.</a>
According to the analyst, the company&#8217;s first-quarter results, set to be released on October 1, are expected to be healthy, with attention focused on trends in China versus North America.
That said, investors are cautious about the pace and timeline for the brand&#8217;s return to growth due to mixed signals from the Chinese market and uncertainty surrounding franchise management actions, including the extent and duration of rebalancing in the lifestyle category, Roach writes. Consequently, the analyst adds that there will likely be a heightened emphasis on the innovation pipeline and scaling initiatives, along with forward-looking insights related to the second quarter and second half of the fiscal year.

China continues to be a significant topic of debate, especially given the volatile macro trends and partner performance indicating weak demand in the region during the summer.
With overall consumption under pressure, Nike will be scrutinizing inventory levels and the dynamics of sell-in versus sell-through, as well as the trends in &#8220;online vs. offline&#8221; demand.
According to the analyst, investors anticipate the company will lower its guidance to a level below the current FactSet consensus.
As Nike re-evaluates its plans for an investor day, the analyst is looking for additional insight on when the new CEO will outline his initial priorities for the business.
For the upcoming quarter, the analyst anticipates a year-over-year revenue decline of 10.5% and earnings per share (EPS) of $0.51. For the fiscal year 2025, the analyst projects a revenue decrease of 5.0% year-over-year, with gross margin expansion of 31 basis points, and an EPS of $3.24.
Price Action: NKE shares are trading higher by 0.55% to $87.94 at last check Wednesday.

Few tokens have experienced the meteoric rise and fall as quickly as WYNN (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WYNN</a>), a meme coin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36616722/wynn-vs-dogecoin-vs-shiba-inu-can-drakes-coin-beat-the-dogecoin-superstars">launched in January this year</a>.
Initially, WYNN surged to an all-time high (ATH) market cap of $85 million, driven in part by social media buzz and a reported indirect endorsement from artist Drake. 
However, as of now, WYNN's market cap has plummeted to $1.5 million, according to <a href="https://dexscreener.com/solana/echxwarp26chgasmfdrvki44xrr8tibwj17dbsutijge">data</a> from DexScreener.
How It Started: The Rise Of WYNN
Back in January, the meme coin caught the attention of the crypto community, fueled by a sudden spike in mentions across social platforms. 
WYNN climbed from under $1 million to $5 million in just two days, reaching an ATH of $85 million soon after. 
The token's rapid ascent was linked to Drake-related memes and a viral tweet from a prominent crypto influencer. 
The surge in popularity led to speculation that WYNN could rival other meme coins like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>), bolstered by several social media accounts actively discussing its rise.
How It's Going: A Sharp Decline
Fast forward to today, and the situation has changed dramatically. With a current market cap of $1.5 million, WYNN&#8217;s significant drop underscores the volatility typical of meme coins.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/ "><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/27091545/Benzinga-conference.gif" alt="Benzinga future of digital assets conference" class="wp-image-267246" /></a></figure>

The question remains whether WYNN will regain its former glory or fade into obscurity, but it continues to compete with other meme tokens on the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) blockchain, including newer entrants like Bonk (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONK</a>) and Myro (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MYRO</a>).
A Trend To Watch: Celebrity Influence In Crypto
The rise and fall of WYNN highlights the power of celebrity influence in the cryptocurrency market, but also the risks involved. 
Drake&#8217;s indirect involvement helped WYNN gain traction, but without sustained institutional or retail interest, the token's momentum waned. 
Nonetheless, WYNN may not be the last meme coin to see a surge driven by celebrity endorsements.
As the conversation around digital assets continues to evolve, topics like meme coin volatility and celebrity influence will be a focal point at Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, where industry leaders and policymakers will discuss the role of cryptocurrencies in finance and politics.
