Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated with additional comment from a Charles Schwab executive. 
Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) announced a significant expansion Wednesday of its 24-hour<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41623358/schwab-to-significantly-expand-its-24-hour-trading-capabilities-to-include-the-stocks-in-the-s-p-5"> trading capabilities. </a>
The Details: Schwab announced it will expand its 24-hour trading to include all of the stocks listed in the S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq-100 and hundreds of exchange-traded funds. The rollout will begin with a pilot group of clients in November and expand to full client access in 2025.
Schwab's clients currently have access to approximately two dozen ETFs in the overnight trading session, with expanded access coming to all clients in 2025.

&#8220;More than six years after Ameritrade was the first U.S. retail broker-dealer to launch 24/5 trading on the thinkorswim platforms, we&#8217;re proud to see how the overnight market has evolved,&#8221; said James Kostulias, managing director and head of Trading Services at Charles Schwab. 
&#8220;Our goal has always been to offer and expand access to 24/5 trading in a responsible way that takes into account client demand, the evolving dynamics of the overnight trading market, and – importantly – providing clients with the full library of Schwab&#8217;s educational content and 24-hour support to help them balance the opportunities and risks, as well as the unique considerations of overnight trading,&#8221; Kostulias added. 
Schwab has seen growing customer demand for overnight trades, Kostulias said in an emailed statement to Benzinga, adding that almost 90% of active trader Schwab clients it surveyed want to access markets outside of standard hours. 
&#8220;In particular, many younger investors want frictionless opportunities to trade on real-time data and respond to market volatility, and we also see opportunity among our international client base,&#8221; he said.

Note: This story has been updated to correct the spelling of The Information.
In July, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) reportedly witnessed a surge in subscription cancellations after co-founder Reed Hastings announced that he is supporting Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
On Sunday, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk highlighted this news, highlighting the alleged political donation bias among Netflix employees.
What Happened: Over the weekend, Bloomberg columnist Lucas Shaw <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-09-29/netflix-nflx-users-cancel-after-reed-hastings-donates-to-kamala-harris">cited</a> researcher Antenna stating that Netflix&#8217;s cancellation rate nearly tripled in the U.S. after Hastings publicly endorsed Harris.
The Netflix co-founder <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/reed-hastings-backs-pro-kamala-harris-pac-with-7-million-donation">revealed</a> to The Information a $7 million donation to a pro-Harris super PAC.
Following this announcement, several Netflix subscribers who were also Trump supporters initiated a #CancelNetflix campaign, resulting in the worst single day for Netflix cancellations this year.

Musk shared the news on X, formerly Twitter, and shared an image showing employee donations in 2024.
The image cited Quiver Quantitative as the source of numbers indicating that 100% of donations from Netflix employees favored the Democratic Party.
While sharing the image, Musk said, "Donations by Netflix employees could not be more lopsided in favor of the Democratic Party (~100%)."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
According to the Quiver website, 99.94% of the total PAC contribution by Netflix goes to Democrats.
Interestingly, the image shared by Musk also showed employees of Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>), donating 100% of the amount to only one party, but in their case, it was the Republicans.
As per the Quiver website, 99.36% of the PAC donation by ICE goes to Republicans and 0.64% to Democrats.
Why It Matters: Earlier this month, it was reported that in August Musk made his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40969728/elon-musk-boosts-house-republicans-with-record-289-100-donation">largest-known donation</a>, $289,100 to boost House Republicans' efforts.
In July also it was reported that the tech mogul, who is currently the wealthiest person on Earth with a net worth of $272 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39760652/biden-vs-trump-elon-musk-reportedly-donates-sizable-amount-to-ex-presidents-campaign-expert-call">donated to a super PAC</a> supporting Republican nominee Trump.
However, as per reports, despite Musk's support for Trump, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40935662/while-elon-musk-backs-trump-for-the-white-house-his-teams-at-tesla-x-and-spacex-are-supporting-kamal">employees at his companies</a> including Tesla, X, and SpaceX back Harris.

According to the Quiver site, Palantir PAC contributions are divided in 68.28% and 31.72% ratio, with the larger part going to Republicans.
Previously, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40890158/palantir-co-founder-peter-thiel-didnt-write-a-check-to-trump-and-doesnt-think-2024-will-be-close-kam">Harris had surpassed Trump</a> in the race for campaign funds.

Elon Musk Targets 'Lopsided' Anti-Trump Donations By Netflix Employees As Cancellations Soared After Co-Founder Reed Hastings Donated To Kamala Harris (CORRECTED)

RBC Capital Markets analyst Ashish Sabadra initiated coverage on Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>) at an Outperform rating and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ICE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">a price target of $200</a>.
The analyst writes that Mortgage technology is poised for double-digit growth, driven by synergies from the BKI acquisition and a recovering market.
The analyst adds that ICE Bonds are expected to benefit from digitization, while ICE Indices will gain from the shift to passive fixed-income investing.
Sabadra says that the business model is recession-resilient, capitalizing on increased volatility and strong franchises in mortgage origination and servicing, energy benchmarks, the NYSE, and fixed-income indices.
The analyst says that ICE should see mid-single to high-single-digit (MSD-HSD) revenue growth from this sector, supported by strong sales momentum and an expanding implementation pipeline. In addition, opportunities to upsell and cross-sell to the fixed income customer base are anticipated.
In the energy sector, ICE is projected to sustain solid double-digit revenue growth. Increased volatility from macroeconomic, geopolitical, and regulatory uncertainties is expected to drive higher demand for hedging. The shift towards passive fixed income investing should similarly benefit ICE Indices, with the strong franchise likely to support accelerated growth.
Regarding cost synergies and operating leverage, ICE forecasts approximately $200 million from BKI cost synergies by the fifth year post-acquisition. This, coupled with ongoing deleveraging and dividends yielding over 1%, is predicted to generate low teens-plus Total Shareholder Return (TSR) annually.
On a strategic level, ICE plans to use its substantial Free Cash Flow (FCF) primarily for debt reduction in the coming quarters, aiming to lower its leverage ratio to around 3.0x. This is part of a broader strategy to optimize its balance sheet while maintaining the capacity for shareholder returns and strategic acquisitions.
ICE&#8217;s diverse revenue streams, strategic positioning within key financial markets, and technological capabilities in mortgage and data services underpin its robust competitive stance. The company&#8217;s focus on enhancing operational efficiencies and expanding its product offerings through acquisitions like BKI positions it well for future growth and profitability.
