FMC Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>), a leading agricultural sciences company, today announced it has received registration in Brazil for&nbsp;Sofero&#x2122; Fall pheromone targeting fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda). Sofero&#x2122; Fall is the first in the company's lineup of distinctive pheromone products for row crops offering growers a novel approach to sustainably control pests, manage resistance and boost productivity.
"The registration of&nbsp;Sofero&#x2122; Fall in Brazil marks a significant milestone in our efforts to bring high-performance, sustainable crop protection solutions to growers," said Ronaldo Pereira, FMC president. "We are excited to provide growers with a powerful new tool in the battle against fall armyworm. Fall armyworm has developed resistance to many traditional insecticides, and growers are seeking alternative solutions to complement their existing practices. Sofero&#x2122; Fall offers an efficient and sustainable way to overcome mounting resistance challenges and enhance the performance of their pest management programs."
Sofero&#x2122; Fall features an innovative mode of action based on mating disruption. This breakthrough technology harnesses the powerful signals of pheromones to naturally disrupt the mating cycles of fall armyworm, preventing it from reproducing. By breaking the pest cycle before the next generation can emerge, Sofero&#x2122; Fall protects crops in the early stages of development, reducing damage and supporting healthy growth. The unique, sprayable formulation leverages FMC's proprietary microencapsulation technology to improve stability and extend its effectiveness, optimizing performance and providing growers with longer-lasting protection.
Sofero&#x2122; Fall is the first product to launch under FMC's global Sofero&#x2122; pheromone solutions brand. The Sofero&#x2122; portfolio of products will target destructive pests in key crops including rice, corn, cotton and soybeans. Sofero&#x2122; pheromone solutions are designed to be used as part of an integrated program, combined with synthetics, biologicals and precision technologies to improve operational efficiency.
"Sofero&#x2122; pheromone solutions inspire a new way to think about crop protection – one that is focused on prevention over treatment," continued Pereira. "With our extensive portfolio and global reach, FMC is uniquely positioned to bring these game-changing solutions to growers around the world, creating a more sustainable future for agriculture while solving real problems in the field."
Registration for Sofero&#x2122; Frugi pheromone, which also targets fall armyworm, is pending in Mexico and anticipated in 2027.

Jim Cramer: Palantir Is A 'Winner,' Recommends Selling This Tech Stock

Goldman Sachs analyst Duffy Fischer initiated coverage on several major U.S. agriculture input <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color" rel="noreferrer noopener">stocks, citing several factors</a>.
The analyst writes that they believe the agricultural macro environment is still stabilizing after the peak caused by the Russia-Ukraine war.
Fischer says that while Spring 2025 looks better than expected (excluding FX) thanks to expected higher corn acreage and a short Fall application window, they anticipate a continued drift toward normalized levels later this year.
CTVA: The analyst initiated coverage on Corteva, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTVA#NYSE">CTVA</a>) with a Buy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ctva/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price forecast of $71</a>.
The analyst highlights the company&#8217;s strong seed and crop protection business, which is poised to benefit from significant cost tailwinds in 2025.
The analyst notes that the business is more focused on R&amp;D compared to crop protection, which gives it substantial pricing power, enabling it to maintain strong pricing even during down-cycles.
FMC: Fischer initiated coverage on FMC Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>) with a Buy rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fmc/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price forecast of $51</a>.
The analyst notes that the company is the only pure-play crop protection firm in the group.
The post-patent strategy for Rynaxypyr holds promise, and its R&amp;D pipeline is expected to yield dividend by 2027+, adds the analyst.
Additionally, the analyst notes the market is undervaluing the potential growth from new product launches in 2026/27 and beyond, as current consensus estimates are below FMC&#8217;s 2027 guidance targets.
MOS: The analyst started coverage on Mosaic Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOS#NYSE">MOS</a>) with a Buy rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/mos/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price forecast of $31</a>.
The analyst writes that the major reason for favoring the stock is that phosphate has the most favorable supply-demand outlook heading into 2025, with limited capacity growth and rising demand from farmers and LFP EV batteries.
If the company can avoid production disruptions, it can improve capacity utilization, boosting margins during a period of strong phosphate stripping margins, adds the analyst.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy DASH Stock</h3>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in DoorDash's case, it&#8217;s in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
DASH Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/dash">DoorDash shares</a> were up 3.58% at $184.45 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) will join the S&amp;P 100 index, S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices announced Friday, as the data analytics firm continues its remarkable post-election rally.
What Happened: &#8220;Palantir is proud to be admitted into the S&amp;P 100. Onwards,&#8221; the company stated Sunday on X.
The Denver-based company will replace Dow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) in the index effective Mar. 24, coinciding with the quarterly rebalance. Intuitive Surgical Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) and ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) will also join the S&amp;P 100, replacing The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) and Ford Motor Co.

Palantir has emerged as the top-performing S&amp;P 500 stock since President Donald Trump&#8216;s November election victory, surging nearly 60% to $84.82. This represents an annualized return exceeding 184%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44202991/best-and-worst-performing-sp-500-stocks-since-trumps-election-win">according to Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Market analysts attribute Palantir&#8217;s meteoric rise to its artificial intelligence capabilities and CEO Alex Karp&#8216;s support for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44202991/best-and-worst-performing-sp-500-stocks-since-trumps-election-win">government efficiency initiatives</a>.

Palantir Joins S&P 100 After AI-Driven Rally, Stock Surges Almost 60% Since Trump Victory

Financial markets have been volatile since President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">election on Nov. 5, 2024</a>, and subsequent inauguration. Which companies have surged under the new administration and which have struggled?
Best Performers: Six companies in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) have returned over 30% since Nov. 5, 2024, according to data <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) leads the pack, rocketing up 59.91% from $51.13 to $81.76. The Denver, Colorado-based company&#8217;s annualized return is over 184%. The retail investor darling has capitalized on AI trends and CEO Alex Karp&#8217;s support for Elon Musk&#8217;s government efficiency efforts, which he defended as a push to eliminate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43806845/palantir-ceo-alex-karp-backs-elon-musks-government-efficiency-efforts-calls-him-most-important-builder">fraud, waste, and abuse.</a>
According to Benzinga Edge, the company has momentum on its side, scoring a very high 99 out of 100, though it lags on key valuation metrics, indicating the stock could be overvalued.

</ul>
Worst Performers: Several other S&amp;P 500 companies have fared much worse since Trump prevailed in the November election.
Some poor performers have been impacted by Trump&#8217;s policies. First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), a manufacturer of solar panels, has seen its stock decline amid concerns about Trump&#8217;s support for fossil fuels. The Tempe, Arizona-based company&#8217;s shares have sunk 36.41% since Nov. 5, 2024.

In a recent shift of investment strategy,&nbsp;David Tepper&#8216;s hedge fund,&nbsp;Appaloosa LP, has made significant alterations to its portfolio. 
What Happened: The firm&#8217;s latest 13F filing reveals a reduction in semiconductor holdings, while stakes in other tech stocks, including&nbsp;Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and the&nbsp;ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), have been increased.
Appaloosa LP, during&nbsp;the fourth quarter of 2023,&nbsp;purchased&nbsp;1.3 million shares in Oracle&nbsp;Corp worth approximately&nbsp;$140 million and a call&nbsp;option for nearly&nbsp;2.6 million shares of the&nbsp;ARK Innovation ETF valued at over $133 million. The hedge fund also established&nbsp;new positions in FMC Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>) and General Motors Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>).
Investments were also made&nbsp;in the home improvement, construction,&nbsp;and building materials sectors, with the acquisition of shares in firms such as Masco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAS#NYSE">MAS</a>), Mohawk Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHK#NYSE">MHK</a>), and Owens Corning (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OC#NYSE">OC</a>).
According to a report <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/tepper-appaloosa-13f-q4-2023-8580346">by </a>Investopedia, Appaloosa reduced its positions in&nbsp;several tech firms, including Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>),&nbsp;Alphabet Class C stock (GOOG),&nbsp;Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), and&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).&nbsp;The largest sell-off involved&nbsp;nearly 1.7 million shares of&nbsp;Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).

Outside of tech, the fund sold off shares in KE Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEKE#NYSE">BEKE</a>), Macy&#8217;s Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>), and PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>). On the flip side, Appaloosa added to its existing positions in Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>), MPLX LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPLX#NYSE">MPLX</a>), Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
The hedge fund also&nbsp;exited two positions entirely in&nbsp;the fourth quarter, selling off&nbsp;shares of Arista Networks (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>)&nbsp;and Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>).
Why It Matters: Appaloosa&#8217;s portfolio reshuffle indicates a strategic shift towards diversification. The reduction in semiconductor holdings comes amidst a global chip shortage, potentially signaling a cautious approach. 
The increased stakes in other tech stocks and the home improvement sector suggest a focus on industries that have shown resilience during the pandemic. The fund&#8217;s&nbsp;new positions in FMC Corp.&nbsp;and General Motors Co. indicate a bet on the agrochemical and automotive industries, respectively. 
The sell-offs, on the other hand, might reflect an attempt to mitigate risks associated with specific stocks or sectors.
