What Happened: On Thursday, Jassy acknowledged that while Amazon has a strong partnership with Nvidia for GPUs, customers have expressed a need for better price performance for their AI workloads, especially as they scale up.
&#8220;While we have a deep partnership with Nvidia, we&#8217;ve also heard from customers that they want better price performance on their AI workloads,&#8221; he said during his opening comments.
This has led Amazon to invest in its own custom silicon: Trainium for training and Inferentia for inference.
&#8220;The second version of Trainium, Trainium2 is starting to ramp up in the next few weeks and will be very compelling for customers on price performance,&#8221; he stated.

The Amazon CEO also highlighted that Amazon Web Services experienced a 19.1% year-over-year growth, reaching an annualized run rate of $110 billion.
He cited customer deals with ANZ Banking Group, Booking.com, Capital One, Fast Retailing, Itaú Unibanco, National Australia Bank, Sony, T-Mobile, and Toyota as evidence of AWS&#8217;s continued success.
&#8220;You can look at our partnership with Nvidia called Project Ceiba, where NVIDIA has chosen AWS&#8217;s infrastructure for its R&amp;D supercomputer due in part to AWS&#8217;s leading operational performance and security,&#8221; Jassy said.
Later while responding to a question, Jassy noted AWS&#8217;s strong partnership with Nvidia saying, &#8220;We tend to be their lead partner on most of their new chips.&#8221;
He added, &#8220;We were the first to offer H200s in EC2 instances. And I expect us to have a partnership for a very long time that matters.&#8221;

Meanwhile, Amazon announced third-quarter net sales of $158.9 billion, reflecting an 11% increase compared to the previous year.

Andy Jassy Touts 'Deep Partnership' With Nvidia, But Amazon Is Doubling Down On In-House Custom Silicon For Price-Conscious Customers

During Apple Inc.&#8217;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call, Tim Cook said that the adoption rate of iOS 18.1 has outpaced its predecessor, iOS 17.1, by two-fold.
What Happened: On Thursday, Apple&#8217;s CEO addressed questions about the demand and supply balance for the iPhone 16, which was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40780100/apple-intelligence-ready-iphone-16-with-faster-processor-dedicated-camera-button-announced-check-pri">launched in September</a> earlier this year.
During the conversation, Cook refuted the idea that Apple has consistently ended&nbsp;the December quarter with iPhone&nbsp;demand surpassing supply for the past four years.

Cook acknowledged pandemic disruptions but assured that the supply constraints for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models would be resolved soon.
Cook attributed the high adoption rate of iOS 18.1 to strong interest in the iPhone 16, which was launched just three days before the earnings call. He suggested that the new Apple Intelligence feature is a significant incentive for users to upgrade.
&#8220;If you just look at the first three days, which is all we have obviously from Monday, the 18.1 adoption is twice as fast as the 17.1 adoption was in the year-ago quarter. And so, there&#8217;s definitely interest out there for Apple Intelligence,&#8221; he stated.

Why It Matters: Apple announced a fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $94.9 billion, surpassing analyst projections of $94.56 billion. The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.64 per share for the quarter, exceeding expectations of $1.60 per share.
This marked the seventh consecutive quarter that Apple has outperformed analyst estimates in both revenue and earnings, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Earlier in October it was reported that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41399541/apple-iphone-16-sees-20-sales-surge-in-china-but-ai-absence-prompts-early-price-cuts">iPhone 16 saw a 20% sales surge in China</a>, a crucial market for Apple, despite early price cuts due to the absence of AI.
Apple also set a new sales record for its iPhone during the third quarter of 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41328252/apples-iphone-16-powers-record-sales-in-q3-just-behind-samsung-in-global-market-share-battle">capturing an 18% market share</a>, just behind Samsung.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41350072/iphone-16-sales-banned-in-indonesia-after-apples-investments-obligations-in-asian-giant-fall-sho">Apple faced a setback</a> when the Indonesian government banned the sale of the iPhone 16 due to the company&#8217;s failure to meet its investment commitments in the country.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Apple shares fell 1.86% to $221.71 in after-hours trading, following a 1.82% decline to $225.91 during the regular trading session, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Users Hungry For AI: Tim Cook Says 'iOS 18.1 Has Twice The Adoption Rate Of 17.1' — What It Means For iPhone 16

On Thursday, the Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant moves in the market, with prominent trades involving Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>).
The Tesla Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) sold a total of 8,384 shares of the Elon Musk-led company. With Tesla&#8217;s closing price at $249.85 on Thursday, the value of this trade amounts to approximately $2.09 million. This move is in line with Ark&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41642374/cathie-wood-shuffles-her-tech-deck-continues-dumping-tesla-and-palantir-stocks-up-on-amd-and-met">recent trend of reducing its Tesla holdings</a>.
Wood&#8217;s ARK Investment Management sees Tesla's driverless <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41593922/cathie-woods-ark-invest-sees-tesla-unlocking-11-trillion-revenue-potential-with-rob">ride-hailing plans as a game-changer</a>, potentially unlocking $11 trillion in revenue by leveraging lower operating costs of electric vehicles. ARK&#8217;s analysis suggests that Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi service could offer rides at a fraction of current ride-hailing and personal vehicle costs, making it a competitive alternative.
The Meta Platforms Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>), ARKK, and ARKW bought a total of 34,076 shares of Meta Platforms. Given Meta&#8217;s closing price of $567.58 on Thursday, the total value of this trade is approximately $19.34 million. This purchase comes after the Mark Zuckerberg-led company&#8217;s third-quarter earnings report, where the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">beat revenue and EPS estimates</a>.
The Palantir Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW sold a total of 334,767 shares of Palantir Technologies. With Palantir&#8217;s closing price at $41.56 on Thursday, the value of this trade is approximately $13.9 million. This move follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41660695/l3harris-and-palantir-collaboration-key-to-future-growth-bofa-upgrades-stock">recent upgrade</a> of L3Harris Technologies, a key collaborator with Palantir, by BofA Securities.
The Block Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to offload shares of Block Inc. was a notable one. The firm sold 243,549 shares of the Jack Dorsey-led company from its ARKK and ARKW. The value of this trade, based on Block&#8217;s closing price of $72.32 on the same day, amounts to approximately $17.6 million.
The move came on the same day that Block CEO Dorsey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41646193/block-ceo-jack-dorsey-announces-another-round-of-layoffs-at-tidal">announced a fresh wave of layoffs</a> at Tidal. In a note to Tidal employees, Dorsey stated the need for the company to function &#8220;like a startup again,&#8221; necessitating a much smaller team across the organization.
Interestingly, the trade also comes at a time when Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), a core focus of Block, has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41596516/bitcoin-clips-71-500-as-wall-street-etf-inflows-fuel-bullish-momentum-whats-next">hovering near previously reached all-time highs.</a>

Cathie Wood Bets Big On Mark Zuckerberg: Ark Pours $19M Into Meta Shares, Dumps Palantir And Tesla Stock

While discussing Meta Platforms Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">third-quarter earnings</a> report, financial analyst Jim Cramer made a striking statement about CEO Mark Zuckerberg&#8216;s marketing prowess.
What Happened: On Thursday, during a conversation on CNBC&#8217;s Squawk on the Street, Cramer and Scott Wapner discussed Meta&#8217;s potential for long-term growth.
During this time, Cramer suggested that tech leaders like Zuckerberg operate on a different level, stating, &#8220;These guys think different from you and me.&#8221;
&#8220;They have a view which just says we want to dominate in this area. So we are going to spend a little more than others and we will dominate,&#8221; he added.
Cramer then used Procter &amp; Gamble as an example, stating that if the company wanted to make Tide a global brand, it would need to pay Zuckerberg a significant amount.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41621390/google-just-got-fined-in-russia-and-its-more-than-the-worlds-gdp-20-decillion-for-blocking-media?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google Just Got Fined In Russia And It&#8217;s More Than The World&#8217;s GDP: $20 Decillion For Blocking Media Content</a>
In return, Zuckerberg could target 1.6 billion potential customers currently deciding between Tide and other brands.
&#8220;He can target them,&#8221; Cramer said, referring to Zuckerberg&#8217;s ability to identify potential customers. &#8220;He knows who is trying to decide. I&#8217;ve never seen anything like it. He has your brain.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Meta reported third-quarter revenue of $40.59 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $40.29 billion. Adjusted earnings for the quarter came in at $6.03 per share, exceeding the forecasted $5.25 per share.
Meta projects fourth-quarter revenue between $45 billion and $48 billion, compared to an estimated $46.31 billion. For the full year 2024, expected total expenses are revised to $96 billion to $98 billion, down from previous guidance of $96 billion to $99 billion. 
Despite the positive earnings report, Meta witnessed a drop in stocks during the after-hours trading. However, in his earlier post, Cramer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41649350/as-microsoft-meta-slide-after-earnings-calls-jim-cramer-says-hyperscalers-are-not-w">dismissed concerns</a> about worsening AI losses, underscoring that the tech giant is thriving with AI advancements.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Meta shares rose 0.14% to $568.40 in after-hours trading, following a 4.09% drop to $567.58 during the regular session, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple, Amazon, Intel, Peloton, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Former President Donald Trump has responded to billionaire Mark Cuban&#8216;s claim that Trump does not surround himself with strong women, calling Cuban a &#8220;major loser.&#8221;
What Happened: On Thursday, Trump took to X to counter Cuban&#8217;s assertion that he avoids the presence of &#8220;strong, intelligent women.&#8221; Trump&#8217;s post, which was a direct response to Cuban&#8217;s comments on &#8220;The View,&#8221; stated that he is, in fact, surrounded by the &#8220;strongest women in the world,&#8221; including heads of countries. He further criticized Cuban, calling him a &#8220;fool&#8221; and a &#8220;major loser.&#8221;
Trump said, &#8220;He should go back to talk about the person he was forced to support, because I didn't want it, Lyin' Kamala Harris.&#8221;
&#8220;All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man's statement,&#8221; said the former president.

Cuban too clarified his comments in an X post. The &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; fame billionaire emphasized that he wasn't suggesting female Trump supporters lack intelligence or strength, pointing out that many women in his extended family support Trump. He also acknowledged Trump's history of working with strong women, including figures like Elaine Chao, Kellyanne Conway, and Ivanka Trump.
&#8220;He doesn't like to be challenged by them,&#8221; said Cuban. He concluded by saying, &#8220;I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s tweet came in response to Cuban&#8217;s remarks on &#8220;The View&#8221; on Thursday, where he accused Trump of avoiding &#8220;strong, intelligent&#8221; women. Cuban, a campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, suggested that such women are &#8220;intimidating&#8221; to Trump.
This is not the first time Trump and Cuban have publicly sparred. Earlier this month, Trump launched a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41417224/trump-unleashes-scathing-attack-on-former-friend-mark-cuban-after-billionaire-criticizes-ex-presiden">scathing attack</a> on Cuban, calling him a &#8220;weak and pathetic bully&#8221; after Cuban criticized Trump&#8217;s tariff proposals at a Harris campaign rally. Benzinga reported on the feud, noting that the two have had a complex relationship since 2002.
The latest exchange between Trump and Cuban comes less than a week before the 2024 presidential election, where Trump is running against Vice President Kamala Harris. According to a recent poll, Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41417224/trump-unleashes-scathing-attack-on-former-friend-mark-cuban-after-billionaire-criticizes-ex-presiden">maintains a lead over Trump</a>, but her odds in prediction markets and betting odds have trailed the former president.

Mark Cuban Says Trump Avoids 'Strong, Intelligent Women' — Ex-President Fires Back: Just A 'Really Dumb Guy Who Thinks He's Hot Stuff'

An advertisement featuring Julia Roberts has sparked controversy. The ad encourages women to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, irrespective of their husbands&#8217; political inclinations.
What Happened: The ad, released by the non-profit organization Vote Common Good, has been met with significant backlash from Republicans, reports <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4964265-kamala-harris-ad-julia-roberts/">The Hill</a>. The advertisement subtly touches upon the contentious issue of abortion rights and urges women to exercise their voting rights freely. Some Republicans have equated a wife&#8217;s secret vote for Harris to infidelity.
&#8220;In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want. And no one will ever know,&#8221; says Roberts in the ad.
The voter in the ad featuring Roberts winks when her husband asks if she had made the &#8220;right choice.&#8221;
Among the critics are Fox News host Jesse Watters and GOP member Charlie Kirk, who expressed their disapproval publicly. In response, Doug Pagitt, Executive Director of Vote Common Good, defended the ad, stating that the outrage from certain men fearing disagreement from their wives only proves their point.
Kirk described the advertisement as &#8220;nauseating.&#8221; Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) responded to Kirk&#8217;s outrage by calling him a &#8220;twit.&#8221;

Conservatives Angry With Julia Roberts Ad Urging Women To Vote For Kamala Harris: 'Nauseating'

As blockchain technology continues to enter mainstream financial systems, Markus Kuhnert, founder and CEO of 1iO, has raised concerns about its core principles being overshadowed. 
Ahead of the upcoming <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets </a>event, a BRANDGUARDIAN representative, responding on behalf of Kuhnert, emphasized the potential and challenges of blockchain's growing role in finance.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Integrating Blockchain in Finance</h1>
The increasing adoption of blockchain by financial players, including Citi and JPMorgan, could offer advantages such as faster transactions and improved transparency. However, Kuhnert's spokesperson highlighted a key issue: "When blockchain is centrally controlled, it loses its essence and potential."
Blockchain was initially designed to decentralize transactions, removing the need for central authorities. But, as it becomes part of traditional finance, its decentralized nature may be compromised.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/29171736/905735A6-57D3-4874-9AA1-75D037842DB3-1-3.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-620477" /></a></figure>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin as a Model</h1>
The spokesperson cited Bitcoin as an example of blockchain's core mission. Unlike blockchain applications within centralized finance, Bitcoin remains under user control, free from centralized oversight. 
&#8220;Bitcoin exemplifies this independence, standing as an asset class under user control, not centralized oversight," the spokesperson explained, adding that integrating blockchain into finance is positive but should not stray from its foundational principles.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Ensuring Responsible Adoption</h1>
As the financial industry continues to embrace blockchain, Kuhnert&#8217;s spokesperson insists that preserving decentralization must be a priority. 
"It's crucial to ensure these integrations respect the core principles of decentralization," the spokesperson stated. The push for blockchain's adoption should balance efficiency and transparency with maintaining its original mission of decentralized user control.
The upcoming <a href="https://benzinga.swoogo.com/digital-assets/6342807">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets </a>event will further explore these topics as industry leaders discuss how blockchain can reshape financial systems while remaining true to its purpose.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
As the digital asset market continues to mature, the convergence of regulatory shifts, M&amp;A activities and adoption trends will define the future of this dynamic field.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Future of Digital Assets</a>&nbsp;event in New York City on Nov. 19 will provide industry leaders and investors a platform to explore these developments further, offering insights into the evolving regulatory environment and the latest market dynamics.

Blockchain In Finance: 1iO's Take On Balancing Efficiency And Decentralization

The head-to-head race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remained close with less than one week until the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Harris maintains a lead over Trump in many election polls as Election Day nears, but her odds in prediction markets and betting odds have trailed the former president by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41635149/2024-election-odds-on-polymarket-kalshi-show-trump-will-win-why-they-might-be-wrong">a wide margin.</a>
A new Morning Consult <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=102924">poll </a>of likely voters shows Harris' lead dropping, continuing a recent string of a lead of six points shrinking.
The new poll shows the following results from voters, with results from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41477318/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-holds-slim-lead-losing-momentum-in-key-demographics-favorability-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;the Oct. 22 poll&nbsp;</a>in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 50 (50%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 47% (46%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 1% (2%)</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t Know: 2% (2%)</li>
</ul>
The poll also found that 94% of Democrats backed Harris as their top pick, down one percentage point from last week&#8217;s poll. The poll also found 92% of Republicans backed Trump as their top pick, in line with last week&#8217;s poll.
Independent voters selected the following as their head-to-head preference, with the results from the Oct. 22 poll in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 49% (47%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump:&nbsp;43% (43%)</li>
<li>Someone Else:&nbsp;4% (4%)</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t Know:&nbsp;4% (7%)</li>
</ul>
The vice president also has the edge in the 18-34 age voters demographic, leading 54% to 44%. The 10-point lead is up from last week's eight-point advantage for the vice president.

</ul>
Why It&#8217;s Important: Harris&#8217; lead over Trump dropped to three points, down from a four-point lead in the past two weeks. The lead is down from a six-point lead Harris had several weeks ago.  
After seeing her lead decline in the key Independent and young voter demographics, Harris grew the lead in these two important voter segments with one week until Election Day.
Morning Consult said in the poll that 45% of likely voters said they had heard something positive about Harris, keeping a trend of the vice president having positive net buzz in place. The poll found that 49% of likely voters said they had recently heard something negative about Trump.
The good news for Trump in the poll, along with shrinking Harris' overall lead, is the Republican party being favored on several key election issues. The Republicans were more favored in the poll on items such as the economy, national security and immigration over the Democratic Party. In the poll, the Democratic Party was more favored on health care, climate change and abortion versus the Republican Party.

Harris Vs. Trump: Vice President's Lead Shrinks, Key Demographic Grows One Week Before 2024 Election Day

A legal dispute between the companies behind popular television game shows &#8220;Wheel of Fortune&#8221; and &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SONY">has broken out</a>.
What To Know: Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) and CBS, which is owned by Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>), have worked together on the iconic game shows for years. Sony produces &#8220;Wheel of Fortune&#8221; and &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; and CBS oversees the distribution.
Sony on Thursday filed a lawsuit against CBS, claiming the company earned distribution fees from unauthorized deals and has become incapable of properly distributing the shows, according to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-at-center-of-legal-feud-between-sony-and-cbs-d744b6fc">report</a>.
Sony alleged that CBS has assigned improper value to the shows to serve its own interests, including licensing the shows at prices below market rates and favoring its own shows when setting up distribution deals or selling ads. 
CBS has been in charge of distribution for the game shows since 1999, receiving 35% to 40% commissions on the fees television stations pay to carry the shows. The report indicates that typical distribution commissions are usually closer to 15%. &#8220;Wheel of Fortune&#8221; and &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; generate more than $100 million in profits each year, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Sony claimed CBS entered into long-term contract agreements with networks in New Zealand and Australia, which breaches contract terms that prohibit the company from signing deals that span more than two years.
Sony also alleged that layoffs at CBS have negatively impacted the teams that work on the iconic shows. 
"CBS has gutted the teams responsible for fulfilling its contractual obligations, requiring us to step in at our own expense," Sony said in a statement.
Sony reportedly said it&#8217;s seeking damages and plans to try to end its agreement with CBS to pursue alternative distribution and advertising partners. 
Shares of CBS parent Paramount Global were down 0.37% in after-hours, trading at $10.90 at the time of publication Thursday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

A recent analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that workers in the food service and hospitality industries are among the highest consumers of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/01/25169588/how-cannabis-legalization-is-changing-the-american-workplace">marijuana in the United States. </a>
The study, <a href="https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307788">published</a> in the American Journal of Public Health, draws from five years of federal health survey data, specifically the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) from 2016 to 2020.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Findings From The Study</h3>
Researchers gathered data from 128,615 individuals across 15 states, including Alaska, Colorado, Florida and Illinois. They discovered significant variations in cannabis use across different industries and occupations.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/33505217/cannabis-use-during-off-hours-not-associated-with-elevated-risk-of-workplace-accidents-finds-new">Cannabis Use During Off-Hours Not Associated With Elevated Risk Of Workplace Accidents, Finds New Study</a>
For instance, about 20.7% of employees in accommodation and food services reported using marijuana and 17.5% in arts, entertainment and recreation field. In contrast, law enforcement showed the lowest prevalence, with only 0.5% of workers reporting recent use.
When examined by occupation, food preparation and serving-related jobs led with 21.9%, followed by roles in arts and media at 17.0%. Interestingly, jobs in education and healthcare showed lower rates, with only 5.7% and 4.7% reporting cannabis use, respectively. Overall, the study found that approximately 10.7% of workers aged 18 and older reported past-month cannabis use.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Implications For Workplace Policies</h3>
The researchers noted that the findings can shape future discussions on workplace policies concerning drug use. They pointed out the need for strategies that minimize the risks associated with cannabis consumption, especially in industries prone to high injury rates like construction and forestry. 
"The primary goal for both employers and employees should be to limit the risk of injury while maintaining productivity," the report states.
Despite mixed evidence regarding the relationship between cannabis use and workplace accidents, concerns linger, particularly in safety-sensitive roles. 
"More research is needed to understand factors driving cannabis use in high-risk industries," the authors noted. They also called for clarity on how much cannabis use might affect job performance, stressing that many workers may consume cannabis outside of working hours.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Changing Legal Landscape And Workplace Drug Testing</h3>
As cannabis legalization continues to spread across the U.S., employers and policymakers are reevaluating drug testing protocols. Notably, companies like Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40611728/home-depot-to-end-marijuana-testing-limit-screening-for-most-employees-internal-memo-reveals">Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) have altered their drug screening practices</a>, moving away from pre-employment cannabis testing.
Some states have enacted laws to protect employees from discrimination related to lawful off-duty cannabis use, such as California and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/02/31026805/job-seekers-relax-cannabis-use-no-longer-a-barrier-to-employment-in-washington-state">Washington.</a>
In New Jersey, ongoing litigation has emerged over police officers testing positive for THC, revealing conflicts between local governance and state guidelines. Meanwhile, Cleveland Ohio&#8217;s Mayor Justin Bibb announced changes to city job drug testing policies to align with the new cannabis laws.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shifts In Sports And Cannabis Policies</h3>
Professional sports leagues are also revisiting their cannabis policies in response to changing societal views on marijuana. The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Baseball (MLB) have both removed marijuana from their banned substances lists. 
The NCAA followed suit for Division I athletes, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has revised its stance as well.
However, there remains criticism of the World Anti-Doping Agency's ongoing prohibition of cannabis, especially following high-profile cases like that of the world&#8217;s fastest female runner Sha'Carri Richardson who was banned from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/21/07/22025295/the-prohibition-of-cannabis-robbed-shacarri-richardson-but-also-expedited-the-federal-decriminal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">competing at the Tokyo Olympics</a> for testing positive for cannabis in 2021.
