Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Sink 7%, But Year's Best-Performing Cat-Themed Crypto, Popcat, Keeps Head Above Water

On Tuesday, in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41134015/jd-vance-tim-walz-debate-sets-a-different-tone-candidates-discuss-israel-iran-escalation-immigration">only vice-presidential debate</a> of the 2024 election cycle, Republican Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio.) and Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn) engaged in a heated discussion over the 2020 election results.
What Happened: The debate, which was held in New York City, followed last month&#8217;s presidential debate&nbsp;where Democratic nominee Kamala Harris&nbsp;triumphed over Donald Trump.
During the debate, Walz urged Vance to recognize Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32331989/trump-says-capitol-rioters-had-love-in-their-heart-jan-6-a-beautiful-day">2020 election loss</a> and connected the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack to the former President&#8217;s refusal to accept defeat.
However, Vance sidestepped the question, shifting the focus to the future and questioning if Harris had &#8220;censored&#8221; Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Walz rebutted Vance&#8217;s defense of Trump&#8217;s attempts&nbsp;to overturn his 2020 election&nbsp;loss, asserting, &#8220;A president's words matter.&#8221;
Vance fired back, criticizing Democratic leaders for portraying Trump as a unique threat to democracy. He brought up Democratic concerns&nbsp;about Russian social media interference&nbsp;in the 2016 election.
Walz retorted, &#8220;Jan. 6 was not Facebook ads,&#8221; and once again asked Vance if&nbsp;Trump lost the 2020 election. Vance evaded a direct answer, maintaining his focus on the future. Walz labeled this as a &#8220;damning non answer.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The vice-presidential debate highlighted the stark contrast between the current election cycle and the previous one that led to President Joe Biden's exit from the race.
The vice presidential debate began with both candidates discussing Israel&#8217;s potential preemptive strike on Iran, with Walz affirming strong support for Israel's self-defense and criticizing Trump's foreign policy. 
On the other hand, Vance praised Trump for maintaining global stability and supporting Israel. The Senator also defended Trump's immigration policies, advocating for mass deportations and rebuilding the border wall.
Walz criticized Trump's failure to secure Mexico's funding for the wall and Harris&#8217; strong record on prosecuting transnational criminals.
On <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40696394/inflation-jobs-and-taxes-how-trump-and-harris-economic-policies-differ">the economy</a>, Walz praised Democratic efforts in lowering costs, such as capping insulin prices, but misstated insulin&#8217;s pre-legislation cost.
Vance countered by blaming Harris for rising costs in essentials like food and housing. &#8220;She&#8217;s been the Vice President for three and a half years, she had the opportunity to enact all of these great policies.&#8221;

JD Vance And Tim Walz Lock Horns Over Trump's 2020 Election Defeat: 'Jan. 6 Was Not Facebook Ads'

The odds of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) winning the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41134015/jd-vance-tim-walz-debate-sets-a-different-tone-candidates-discuss-israel-iran-escalation-immigration">vice presidential debate</a> tumbled Tuesday night on Polymarket, as bettors seemed to rally behind Republican Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio.)  
What happened: Walz was the punters' favorite before the start of the debate, leading with a 72% probability of a win on the cryptocurrency-based <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-win-the-vp-debate-according-to-polls?tid=1727837466904">prediction </a>market.
However, the odds fell dramatically as the debate began, plunging below 50% an hour into the face-off. As of this writing, the odds were comfortably in favor of the Republican at 69%. More than $850,000 was wagered for the outcome.&nbsp;
Polymarket, built atop Ethereum&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) Layer-2 chain, Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) has gained prominence as one of the world's top prediction markets for U.S. elections in recent months, though ironically, U.S. users can't access the platform due to federal regulations.

Why It Matters: The vice presidential debate saw the two leaders clash on an array of topics including economy, geopolitical tensions, immigration, and more.&nbsp;
The 90-minute-long debate followed the presidential debate last month where Democratic nominee Kamala Harris was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808499/trump-vs-harris-debates-results-are-in-flash-poll-shows-resounding-majority-pick-vice-president-as-w">declared the winner</a> against Republican challenger Donald Trump.
As of this writing, presidency odds on Polymarket were little impacted due to the debate, with Harris maintaining a slender lead over Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tesla, Amazon, Nike, Walmart, Alibaba: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to include a response from a Bitwise spokesperson.
In a groundbreaking move, cryptocurrency index fund manager Bitwise Asset Management filed for an XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) exchange-traded fund (ETF), a first for the U.S. market.
What Happened: Bitwise submitted the ETF filing on Monday to Delaware&#8217;s Department of State&#8217;s Division of Corporations. The filing was made under the entity name Bitwise XRP ETF, with CSC Delaware Trust Company listed as the registered agent.
This is typically the first step toward filing and listing an ETF, with similar notice seen previously for BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) and iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETHA#NASDAQ">ETHA</a>).
A Bitwise spokesperson confirmed to Benzinga that the filing was legitimate but declined to provide additional information.

Earlier this year, the SEC approved several spot Bitcoin ETFs from firms like BlackRock, Grayscale, and Fidelity, as well as eight Ethereum ETFs. Grayscale has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40838951/grayscale-revives-xrp-trust-after-3-year-hiatus">also launched an XRP &#8220;closed-end&#8221; fund</a> for accredited investors.
Why It Matters: The development comes even as Ripple Labs, the blockchain company that uses XRP for its operations, is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40240559/xrp-outshines-bitcoin-ethereum-to-become-biggest-daily-gainer-after-judge-imposes-125m-pen">locked in a legal battle with the SEC</a> over the token&#8217;s sale. 
Ripple secured a notable victory in its protracted legal battle with the SEC last year, with a U.S. District Judge ruling that the sale of XRP on public exchanges does not constitute unregistered securities offerings. The deadline for the SEC to appeal the ruling is set for&nbsp;Oct. 7
Price Action: At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $0.603, down 2.67% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Live At CBS Vice Presidential Debate Governor Walz Says A Federal Program Of Paid Family Medical Leave Will Enhance Our Workforce And Our Families

On Tuesday, Republican Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio.) and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) faced off in the <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">only vice-presidential debate</a> of the 2024 election cycle, in New York City.
The 90-minute debate was moderated by CBS News anchors Norah O&#8217;Donnell and Margaret Brennan.
This debate followed the presidential debate last month where Democratic nominee Kamala Harris was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808499/trump-vs-harris-debates-results-are-in-flash-poll-shows-resounding-majority-pick-vice-president-as-w">declared the winner</a> against Donald Trump — a stark contrast to the previous matchup that led to President Joe Biden&#8217;s exit from the race.
What Happened: The debate jumped right into the ongoing Middle East crisis. The candidates were asked if they would support a pre-emptive strike on Iran by Israel. The backdrop of the debate was set on Tuesday when Iran <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41126038/iran-attacks-israel-with-missiles-middle-east-tensions-escalates-s-p-500-stocks-bitcoin-fall-as-oil">fired nearly 200 missiles</a> at Israel.
The Two Candidates Shook Hands
The debate began shortly after 9 p.m., with Walz stepping out first, followed by Vance. After a handshake, Vance took his position at the lectern, and both candidates started jotting down notes on the provided pen and paper.
Middle-East Crisis
The Minnesota Governor responded to the first question about supporting a potential Israeli preemptive strike on Iran by reaffirming his strong backing for Israel.
He spoke about the importance of Israel&#8217;s right to self-defense following the Hamas attack on Oct. 7.
He then quickly shifted to criticize Trump&#8217;s foreign policy, citing concerns from the former President&#8217;s own national security advisers who warned of the dangers of him being in charge.
"When our allies see Donald Trump turn towards Vladimir Putin, turn towards North Korea, when we start to see that type of fickleness about holding the coalitions together — we will stay committed," Walz said.
Vance started off giving an introduction of himself, speaking about having a blue-collar upbringing.
He then said that Trump actually delivered stability to the world by establishing effective deterrence, people were afraid of stepping out of the line.
"It is up to Israel what they think they need to do to keep their country safe and we should support our allies wherever they are when they are fighting the bad guys," he said in response to the question.
Hurricane Helene And Climate Change
When asked about the Trump administration&#8217;s role in addressing climate change, Vance said that he and the former president prioritize &#8220;clean air and clean water.&#8221;
"Donald Trump and I support clean air and clean water," he said, and then added, "One of the things that I have noticed some of our Democratic friends talking a lot about is a concern about carbon emissions. This idea that carbon emissions drive all the climate change."
"If you believe that what would you want to do: the answer is you wanna restore as much as American manufacturing as possible and you'd want to produce as much energy as possible in the United States of America because we are the cleanest economy in the entire world."
He said Kamala Harris' policies have led to more energy production in China, more manufacturing overseas, and more doing business in some of the dirtiest parts of the world.
Walz targeted Trump saying that the former President once called climate change a hoax and joked that these things would make more beachfront properties to invest in.
The Minnesota Governor said that the current administration has been taking steps to mitigate the effects of climate change.
"To call it a hoax and to take the oil company executives to Mar-a-Lago, say, give me money from my campaign and I&#8217;ll let you do whatever you want, we can be smarter about that and an all-above energy policy is exactly what she&#8217;s doing, creating those jobs right here," he said.

Immigration And Fact Check
Vance was asked about the Trump-Vance campaign's plan to carry out the largest deportation in the history of the U.S.
"She promised to undo all of Trump's immigration policies," said Vance about Harris and then touched on fentanyl and opiod crisis affecting the U.S.
He stressed on bring back Trump's immigration policies and rebuilding the wall.
"You make it harder for illegal immigrants to undercut the wages of American workers," said Vance on the impact of mass migration in to the country.
"The real family separation policy is unfortunately Kamala Harris' wide-open southern border," said Vance.
Walz responded by saying that opioid crisis was an issue but chose not to respond to Vance's assertion that children were being used as drug mules.
"Most of us want to solve this," said Walz. He singled out Harris' record in California for prosecuting transnational criminals.
"Donald Trump said, ‘No,'" said Walz. What would he talk about if legislation to tackle to immigration issue was passed.&nbsp;
He touched on the failure of Trump to get the wall funded by Mexico, something that Trump had promised to do.
"We already have massive child separation," said Vance on the question of separating children from parents. "We have a record of illegal crossings," said Vance. He referred to the Vice President as the "Border Czar," a term often used by his campaign.
"We fix this issue with a bill that is necessary," said Walz in response to overwhelming support for mass deportations in the U.S. He accused his political opponents of vilification of the issue because they did not want to address it.
"Gross majority" of what needs to be done is just empowering law enforcement, said Vance on whether the immigration issue needed legislation.
Vance mentioned Springfield, Ohio, a city in his home state that recently became a focal point of immigration discussions. Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40866950/donald-trumps-pet-eating-claims-shaking-up-springfield-ohio">falsely claimed</a> last month that Haitian immigrants in the town were eating pet animals.
Vance challenged the CBS host's fact-checking that a large number of Haitian immigrants in the city had legal status. However, his mike was cut while he was explaining the legal nitty-gritty around the status of these immigrants.
Economy And Common Sense
On the economy, Walz commended the Democratic administration for efforts to lower the cost of essentials, such as prescription drugs.
He highlighted the law passed two years ago, capping insulin prices at $35 per month for millions of Medicare recipients.
However, the Minnesota Governor overstated the pre-legislation cost, incorrectly stating that insulin had cost Americans &#8220;$800&#8221; before the law took effect.
CBS cited the Wharton School's analysis of the Trump plan and said it would increase the nation's debt by $5.8 trillion.
In response, Vance said that you will hear a lot of things from Walz about what Harris would do, and it sounds all good but you won't hear is that she has already done it.
"She's been the Vice President for three and a half years, she had the opportunity to enact all of these great policies and what she has actually done instead is drive the cost of food higher by 25%, drive the cost of housing higher by about 60%."
"If Kamala Harris has such great plans for how to address middle-class problems, then she ought to do them now, not when asking for a promotion, but in the job the American people gave her three and a half years ago."
"Now, Donald Trump's economic plan is not just a plan but it's also a record. A lot of those same economics that attacked Donald Trump's plan and they have Phds but they don't have common sense and they don't have wisdom," said Vance.
The Minnesota governor rebuffed Vance and Trump's campaign saying that they keep on targeting experts including economists, science, and national security folks.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to be president, you don&#8217;t have all the answers. Donald Trump believes he does,&#8221; he said. &#8220;My pro-tip is this: if you need heart surgery, listen to the people at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, not Donald Trump.&#8221;
Walz then addressed teachers, nurses, truck drivers, and other Americans, questioning the fairness of their annual tax payments while Trump managed to avoid paying income taxes for 10 out of 15 years.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cost Savings And Workflow Optimization</h3>
The I-80 is designed not just for speed but for cost savings. Cannabis companies can expect to save $1,000 for every 10,000 units produced, thanks to the machine&#8217;s integrated self-sealing technology, which eliminates the need for separate capping. 
This feature alone improves workflow efficiency by 1,000% over manual methods and 100% over other automated systems, giving operators a competitive edge.

Analyst Notes: Legendary trader Peter Brandt stated that Bitcoin's recent rally was didn't defy its 7-month trend of lower highs and lower lows.
"Only a close above 71,000 confirmed by a new ATH will indicate that the trend from the Nov 2022 low remains in force," Brandt added.

Widely-followed cryptocurrency commentator, MartyParty blamed big whales for the intense sell-offs, deeming it "pure manipulation" to eliminate bullish longs using war narratives. 
"Whales sell large amounts of crypto, the red candles cause panic, the price drops, paper hands panic sell,  same whales buy back and accumulate more tokens. That&#8217;s the game," he explained, urging his followers not to fall for this.

Live At CBS Vice Presidential Debate Senator Vance Says You Got To Invest In More Energy Production; We Haven't Built A Nuclear Facility, One In 40 Years; We Got To Invest More In It

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly withdrawn from a scheduled appearance on CBS &#8220;60 Minutes.&#8221;
What Happened: Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris had initially agreed to feature in the show&#8217;s election special, set to air next Monday, as reported by <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4910610-donald-trump-pulls-out-60-minutes-interview-cbs-news/">The Hill</a>. Trump was to be interviewed by Scott Pelley, while Harris was to converse with Bill Whitaker. However, the Trump campaign has now chosen to withdraw from the event.
Despite Trump&#8217;s withdrawal, CBS News confirmed that the election special will continue as planned, featuring the interview with Harris. The network also reiterated its standing invitation to Trump for an interview on &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221;.
Trump was the first to accept the interview request from &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221;, under the assumption that both White House candidates would receive equal airtime, a source told the publication. However, a spokesperson for Trump informed the show on Tuesday that the ex-president would not be participating.
The Trump campaign disputed CBS News&#8217; claims, stating that no interview was definitively scheduled. Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign's communications director, accused the show of begging for an interview and insisted that the discussions were preliminary and nothing was confirmed.
Cheung said that CBS insisted on &#8220;live fact checking&#8221; which he said was &#8220;unprecedented.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This withdrawal follows a series of debates and scheduled appearances leading up to the 2024 presidential election.

This was seen as a potential media win for CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>).
However, Trump&#8217;s reluctance to participate in further debates has been noted.

Trump Backs Out Of Planned '60 Minutes' Interview, Ex-President's Campaign Says CBS Asked For Unprecedented Live Fact Checking

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised retaliation against Iran for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41126038/iran-attacks-israel-with-missiles-middle-east-tensions-escalates-s-p-500-stocks-bitcoin-fall-as-oil">firing over 180 missiles</a> into Israel on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Iran warned of &#8220;vast destruction&#8221; if Israel retaliates, heightening fears of a broader conflict.
What Happened: Despite the missile onslaught, no injuries were reported in Israel. However, a casualty was reported in the occupied West Bank. Iran&#8217;s foreign ministry maintained that its operation was defensive, targeting only Israeli military and security facilities.
Israel&#8217;s U.N. ambassador stated that the country will decide when and how to respond to Iran&#8217;s launch of nearly 200 ballistic missiles, emphasizing that the retaliation &#8220;will be noticed&#8221; and &#8220;painful.&#8221; He warned Iran against testing Israel&#8217;s capabilities, while stressing that Israel does not seek war but cannot ignore such attacks on its civilians, <a href="https://apnews.com/live/israel-lebanon-ground-operation-updates">reported</a> the Associated Press.
Iran&#8217;s armed forces stated that any direct intervention by Israel&#8217;s supporters against Tehran would trigger a &#8216;strong attack&#8217; from Iran on their &#8216;bases and interests&#8217; in the region, reported Reuters.
Iran&#8217;s military chief, Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, warned that Iran would strike all of Israel&#8217;s infrastructure if it takes action against Iran. He stated that the Revolutionary Guard is ready to repeat missile attacks with &#8220;multiplied intensity&#8221; and emphasized that while Iran avoided targeting civilians, it remains a feasible option, according to AP.

Why It Matters: The missile attack from Iran follows a period of escalating tensions in the Middle East. Prior to the attack, the U.S. had increased its military presence in the region due to the rising tensions. 
The U.S. had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/10/41120592/iran-set-to-launch-ballistic-missile-attack-against-israel-report">also warned</a> that an attack in the region was imminent. The attack has had a significant impact on global markets, with investors reacting to the potential implications of the escalating conflict. 
Gold and oil prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/10/41129967/market-sells-off-over-irans-attack-on-israel-port-strikes-hurricane-helene-national-se">surged following the attack</a>, with the United States Oil Fund up 3% and the SPDR Gold Trust rising 1%. Major market indexes fell, including the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), down 0.9%, and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), down 1.4%. Technology stocks were hit the hardest, while defense and oil stocks saw gains. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also dropped 2%.
Price Action: At the time of writing, SPY traded 0.15% lower in the after-hours session at $567.74 and QQQ was lower by almost 0.3% at $480.01.

Netanyahu Promises Retaliation For Missile Attack On Israel, Iran Responds By Promising 'Vast Destruction'

Top Democrats from influential House committees are urging the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to expedite the process of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-rescheduling">rescheduling cannabis.</a>
In a letter sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland and DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, Representatives Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Frank Pallone (D-NJ), ranking members of the Judiciary and Energy &amp; Commerce Committees respectively, stressed the need for quick action following a scientific review by the Biden administration.

According to <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/top-congressional-democrats-push-dea-to-swiftly-reschedule-marijuana-and-continue-to-assess-full-legalization/">Marijuana Moment</a>, the lawmakers argue that cannabis has &#8220;less potential for abuse than other drugs&#8221; and serves an &#8220;accepted medical use in treatment.&#8221;
Their comments align with recommendations from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Justice, which have called for the reclassification of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
&#8220;We value the Department of Justice's steadfast commitment to prevent the misuse and diversion of controlled substances that pose a threat to public health," Nadler and Pallone wrote.
The lawmakers applauded the Biden administration for initiating the review and urged the DEA to &#8220;swiftly complete this process and transfer marijuana to schedule III.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Push For Full Descheduling</h3>
While the immediate focus is on rescheduling to Schedule III, which would loosen some federal restrictions on cannabis, the legislators also urged federal agencies to explore further reform. 
They said that &#8220;continuing to assess whether schedule IV, schedule V, or descheduling may be appropriate&#8221; could be the next step in aligning cannabis policy with evolving scientific and medical understanding. 
Descheduling, which would remove cannabis from the CSA entirely, remains a key objective for many advocates and lawmakers, including Nadler, who has previously sponsored the MORE Act &#8211; a bill that would result in full legalization.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Election-Year Focal Point</h3>
The timing of the lawmakers' push comes as cannabis policy increasingly takes center stage in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40785015/harris-campaign-accuses-trump-of-blatant-pandering-and-lying-about-his-cannabis-support-announce">U.S. election politics.</a> Both major parties are positioning themselves on the issue as the 2024 presidential election approaches. 
However, final action on the rescheduling is not expected until after November, with the DEA scheduling an administrative hearing on the matter for December 2. This hearing will allow for further input from experts and stakeholders before the agency potentially finalizes its decision.

Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;continues to lead former President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;in a head-to-head poll of likely voters with less than 50 days to go until the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Harris maintains a five-point lead over Trump and continues to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40993290/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-betting-odds-show-vice-president-maintains-lead-as-race-near"> lead betting odds</a> and prediction markets against the former president with Tuesday's vice president debate a potential catalyst for the 2024 election.
A new Morning Consult poll of likely voters shows Harris' lead at five points for the week. The new <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling?utm_source=briefing&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=washington_am&amp;utm_content=100124">poll </a>shows the following results from voters, with the results from the Sept. 24 poll in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 51% (50%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 46% (45%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 2% (2%)</li>
<li>Don't Know: 2% (3%)</li>
</ul>
The poll found that 94% of Democrats backed Harris as their top pick, in line with last week&#8217;s poll. The poll also found 92% of Republicans backed Trump as their top pick, up one percentage point from last week's poll.
Independent voters selected the following as their head-to-head preference, with the results from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/41016272/harris-vs-trump-2024-election-poll-shows-good-bad-news-for-each-candidate">Sept. 24 poll</a> in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris:&nbsp;45% (46%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 44% (42%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 5% (6%)</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t Know:&nbsp;5% (6%)</li>
</ul>
The vice president also has the edge in the 18-34 age voters demographic, leading 53% to 43%. The 10-point lead is down from last week's 12-point lead and a lead of 15-points two weeks ago. &nbsp;
Among Black voters, Harris leads by 77% to 19%.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Trump showed gains among Black voters, Independent voters and Republican voters on the week, which is potentially bad news for Harris.
The good news for Harris and running mate Tim Walz is that the favorable ratings of the Democratic Party candidates continue to rank ahead of their counterparts.

3 E-Commerce Picks to Ride the Online Retail Boom

Pinterest (PINS) delivered robust second-quarter results supported by strong revenue growth and continuous innovations. While its long-term outlook appears positive with increasing worldwide internet usage, it faces slow quarterly active user growth compared to the prior quarters. So, let's determine whether Pinterest is a buy amid social media landscape shifts. Read more to find out... Pinterest, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PINS/">PINS</a>), an international visual search and discovery platform provider, performed well in the second quarter and reported robust financial results. The company reported a record quarterly revenue of $ 853.68 million, indicating an increase of 20.6% from the prior-year quarter. However, its global quarterly active users graphs appears to be moving slow.
Pinterest has emerged as a go-to destination for inspiration. People from all generations worldwide engage on the platform to explore their interests and share their inspiration with others. Further, its drive for innovation like introducing new ways to share Pinterest boards, keeps the users interested.
PINS recently introduced new AI tools for creativity and performance. Pinterest Ad Labs is an innovation program where select brands can test prototypes of new creative and ad tools leveraging generative AI features. With this, Pinterest aims to encourage experimentation and to learn from advertiser feedback. It offers personalized background generation and collages for advertisers.
Further, with the increasing worldwide internet usage penetration among the general population, the internet industry is growing. There were <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/617136/digital-population-worldwide/">5.45 billion internet users worldwide as of July 2024</a>, amounting to 67.1% of the global population. Further, of this overall total, 5.17 billion, or 63.7% of people, were social media users of the world's population.
During the quarter, PINS partnered with Integral Ad Science (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IAS/">IAS</a>), a leading global media measurement and optimization platform, to provide global advertisers higher transparency into campaigns across PINS' in-app feed through IAS' AI-driven Total Media Quality (TMQ) Brand Safety and Suitability product.
Bill Ready, CEO of Pinterest said, "We had another impressive quarter, reporting a 21% increase in revenue and 12% growth in monthly active users globally. Our monetization efforts are paying off. Advertisers are seeing improved performance across key objectives on Pinterest – from brand awareness to conversion – as we continue to roll out AI-powered products and experiences."
He added "As a result, we're gaining share of advertising budgets with some of the world's largest brands. I'm proud of our pace of innovation as we execute against the opportunity ahead."
According to the company's guidance for the third quarter of 2024, PINS expects its revenue to be in the range of $885 million to $900 million, reflecting 16% - 18% growth year-over-year.
Shares of PINS have surged 15% over the past year to close its last trading session at $31.65. However, the stock has plunged 23.5% over the past month.

Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. PINS has a B grade for Quality, consistent with its higher-than-industry profitability.

Bottom Line
PINS reported solid earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The company's strong industry footing, strategic initiatives, innovative solutions, and solid financial performance position it for bright long-term prospects. However, the company grapples with flat to slow quarterly monthly active user growth.
Given PINS' elevated valuation, waiting for a better entry point in this stock seems prudent.

Given its near-term uncertain prospects, the odds of PINS outperforming in the weeks and months ahead are compromised. However, there are many industry peers with much more impressive POWR Ratings.

Is Pinterest a Buy as Social Media Landscape Shifts?

With Alphabet (GOOGL) facing growing antitrust challenges, investors question whether the tech giant remains a buy. Discover if GOOGL's financial strength and massive growth in AI and cloud can offset regulatory risks. Read on to learn more... Alphabet Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/GOOGL/">GOOGL</a>) has been a dominant player in the tech industry. However, it faces increased scrutiny from regulators worldwide. Google is set to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-antitrust-trial-targets-googles-digital-ad-business-2024-09-04/">face trial next week in a second antitrust case</a>, where the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will challenge the company's methods of monetizing advertising, which prosecutors claim harms news publishers.
This case is part of the Biden administration's broader push to curb the power of Big Tech through antitrust laws. It follows a significant victory for the Justice Department in a separate lawsuit on August 5, when a judge ruled that Google illegally monopolized online search.
Despite these looming challenges, GOOGL's financial strength remains undeniable. The company reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings for the second quarter of 2024. Alphabet reported <a href="https://abc.xyz/assets/19/e4/3dc1d4d6439c81206370167db1bd/2024q2-alphabet-earnings-release.pdf">revenues of $84.74 billion</a>, surpassing analysts' estimate of $84.30 billion. The company's EPS came in at $1.89, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.84.
Its main revenue drivers—Google Search, YouTube, and Google Cloud—remain robust. The company's advertising arm, which is at the center of antitrust scrutiny, still accounts for a significant portion of its revenue, and its dominance in digital ads has positioned Alphabet as a key player in the tech ecosystem.
Additionally, Alphabet is well-diversified with its growing cloud business, artificial intelligence (AI) advancements, and other ventures such as Waymo (autonomous driving) and Verily (health technology).
Shares of GOOGL have gained 17.4% over the past month and 15.3% over the past six months to close the last trading session at $156.45.
Let's look at factors that could influence GOOGL's performance in the upcoming months.

With Antitrust Challenges Looming, Is Alphabet Still a Buy?

South Korea's e-commerce giant, Coupang (CPNG), has surged over 40% this year. Yet, despite this impressive rally, a decline in bottom-line performance raises concerns, leaving investors wondering: Can CPNG keep up its momentum? Read on to find out... Founded in 2010 by Bom Kim, a former Harvard Business School student, Coupang, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CPNG/">CPNG</a>) has rapidly become South Korea's e-commerce leader, often earning the title of the "Amazon of South Korea." Shares of CPNG have soared 46.5% over the past nine months and 42.1% year-to-date to close the last trading session at $23.
A question lingers in investors' minds despite this impressive run: can Coupang sustain its upward momentum?
While Coupang's financials have shown mixed signals recently, its second-quarter revenue came in at $7.32 billion, slightly missing the anticipated $7.39 billion. However, on the bright side, its adjusted <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/eps.asp">earnings per share</a> of $0.07 exceeded the expected break-even point, delivering a $0.07 surprise.
"This quarter, we continued to see deeper levels of engagement from our customers, powered by our relentless focus on providing even greater levels of selection, service, and savings for customers," said CPNG's CFO Gaurav Anand.
Let's look at factors that could influence CPNG's performance in the upcoming months.
Mixed Financials
In the second quarter of 2024, which ended on June 30, CPNG's net revenue increased 25% year-over-year (or 18% excluding the impact of Farfetch) to $7.32 billion. The company's Product Commerce Active Customers also increased by 12%, reaching 21.7 million, while revenue per active customer rose 5% on a constant currency basis.
Moreover, its gross profit grew 41% year-over-year to $2.14 billion, with a gross margin of 29.3%. CPNG's adjusted EBITDA increased 10% from the year-ago value to $330 million.
However, the company reported an operating loss of $25 million, compared to an operating income of $148 million in the prior year's quarter. In addition, its adjusted attributable net income decreased 14.5% year-over-year to $124 million, and adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.07, down 12.5% year-over-year. CPNG's cash outflow from operating activities declined 33.7% year-over-year to $876 million. 
Mixed Analyst Estimates
Analysts expect CPNG's revenue for the third quarter (ending September 2024) to increase 24.8% year-over-year to $7.72 billion. However, the consensus EPS estimate of $0.01 for the same period indicates a 77.7% year-over-year decline.
Similarly, for the fiscal year ending December 2024, CPNG's revenue is expected to grow 24.4% from the prior year to $30.34 billion, while its EPS for the current year is forecasted to be negative at $0.01.
Stretched Valuation
In terms of forward EV/Sales, CPNG is trading at 1.30x, 7.6% higher than the industry average of 1.21x. Likewise, its forward Price/Sales of 1.36x is 56.8% above the industry average of 0.87x. Furthermore, the stock's forward EV/EBITDA and EV/EBIT multiple of 40.75 and 88.76 compares with the industry averages of 9.76 and 14.24, respectively.
Mixed Profitability
CPNG's trailing-12-month ROCE and ROTA of 31.73% and 6.92% are 175.8% and 69.9% higher than their respective industry averages of 11.50% and 4.08%. Likewise, its trailing-12-month asset turnover ratio of 2.10x is 112.3% above the industry average of 0.99x.
However, the stock's trailing-12-month EBIT and levered FCF margins of 1.14% and 3.95% are below their industry averages by 85.6% and 22.7%, respectively. In addition, the stock's 2.95% trailing-12-month ROTC is 51.7% lower than the 6.11% industry average.
POWR Ratings Exhibit Mixed Prospects
CPNG's stance is apparent in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. The stock has an overall rating of C, which translates to Neutral in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by taking into account 118 different factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. CPNG has a B grade for Momentum is justified by its share price, which is currently trading above its 50-day moving average of $21.64 and 200-day moving average of $19.31.
However, with a five-year beta of 1.10, the stock has earned a grade C for Stability. Also, the stock's C grade for Sentiment is consistent with its mixed analysts' estimates.
CPNG is ranked #42 out of 52 stocks in the B-rated <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/internet/">Internet</a> industry. <a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CPNG/">Click here</a> to access CPNG's Growth, Value, and Quality ratings.
Bottom Line
CPNG remains dominant in South Korea's e-commerce space, but its latest financials raise concerns. While the company exceeded earnings expectations, it missed revenue and customer growth estimates, causing its stock to drop 4.5% immediately following the results. Despite improvements in operational efficiency and adoption of AI-driven automation, the decline in bottom-line performance and mixed analyst forecasts highlight the company's ongoing challenges.
Considering CPNG's higher-than-industry valuation, enhanced volatility, and a slowing retail market in South Korea, it could be wise to wait for a better entry point in this stock now.

Can Coupang Keep up Its Momentum as South Korea's E-Commerce Giant?

The gig is up and in a good way! The global gig economy is set to surge to nearly $2 trillion by 2031. With increasing demand for flexible work and rising global participation, platforms like Fiverr International (FVRR) are leading the charge. Read on to explore why this stock is worth watching as the gig economy expands. The gig economy has been on an unstoppable rise, thanks to the rise of tech-driven freelance marketplaces and on-demand services. What started with ride-sharing apps has now become a full-fledged marketplace for virtually every service imaginable (from food delivery and groceries to finding a plumber or a graphic designer), all with just a few taps on your smartphone.
As digital technologies advance and the work-from-anywhere trend becomes the norm, the gig economy continues to expand. In the past two years alone, about 35 venture-backed companies have raised nearly $800 million, underscoring this space's booming interest and potential. Developing economies also see a surge in gig participation, further fueling this growth.
In this evolving landscape, should you keep an eye on Fiverr International Ltd. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/FVRR/">FVRR</a>)? Let's find out.
Fiverr is a bustling freelance marketplace where people can hire talent from web design to video production, with job postings starting as low as $5. The platform charges a commission on each transaction and offers various subscription options for buyers and sellers. Freelancers on Fiverr can even turn their gigs into full-time careers.
During the Q2 earnings call, CEO Micha Kaufman shared that the company has navigated a challenging macro environment by maintaining operational excellence and delivering profitable growth. He stated, "We've made remarkable strides in our product evolution with the introduction of profession-based catalog and hourly contracts."
Although FVRR saw a dip in traffic in mid-2024, especially in the programming and tech sectors, the company remains optimistic. "Despite a 7% year-over-year decline in U.S. job openings and a 17% drop in the information sector, AI continues to drive growth for Fiverr, particularly in complex services, and is expected to be a growth driver moving forward", Kaufman added.
Shares of FVRR have gained 13.1% over the past six months to close the last trading session at $24.81.
Now, let's look at factors that could influence FVRR's performance in the upcoming months:
Positive Developments
On July 31, FVRR announced <a href="https://investors.fiverr.com/news-releases/news-release-details/fiverr-deepens-ecommerce-solutions-acquisition-leading">the acquisition of AutoDS</a>, a subscription-based drop-shipping platform. AutoDS, which offers tools for product research, inventory management, and automated fulfillment, is expected to significantly boost FVRR's eCommerce capabilities while introducing a new, recurring revenue stream through subscriptions.
Kaufman said the acquisition of AutoDS, which manages over 150 million products and serves tens of thousands of subscribers, supports the company's transition from a marketplace to a platform offering talent and software solutions. Moreover, with the global drop-shipping market expected to soar from $285 billion to over <a href="https://www.oberlo.com/statistics/dropshipping-market">$2 trillion by 2033</a>, AutoDS' automation tools and expansive network are set to enhance FVRR's position in the growing digital services space.
In addition to the acquisition, the company also rolled out new features, including a profession-based <a href="https://www.fiverr.com/news/summer_product_release_2024">catalog and hourly contracts</a>.

Favorable Analyst Estimates
The consensus revenue estimate of $96.39 million for the fiscal third quarter (ending September 2024) represents a 4.2% increase year-over-year. The consensus EPS estimate of $0.61 for the current quarter indicates a 10.1% improvement year-over-year. The company has an excellent earnings surprise history, surpassing the consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
For the fiscal year ending December 2024, the company's EPS is anticipated to grow 20% year-over-year to $2.34, while its revenue is expected to increase 6.6% from the prior year period to $385.17 million.
