Baxter International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAX#NYSE">BAX</a>). has shut down its largest manufacturing facility following significant damage caused by Hurricane Helene. The hurricane, which hit the Southeast of the U.S. with deadly force, triggered power outages and flooding across the region.
Baxter's North Cove plant, located in Marion, North Carolina, is the nation's biggest producer of intravenous and peritoneal dialysis solutions. The company has stated that this disruption will likely have a negative effect on its financial performance.
On Monday, Baxter's shares initially fell as much as 4.1%, but later settled at a 2.3% decline, trading at $38.01 by midday in New York. Baxter&#8217;s stock ended up closing right below $38 a share Monday.

Wood pointed to a 2017 hurricane, which impacted Baxter&#8217;s capacity in Puerto Rico, as a precedent for Hurricane Helene. &#8220;To sense check, if we assumed a $140mn impact in BAX's Q4 (given Q3 is essentially over), that implies about 4 days worth of shutdown for the entire US Chronic Therapies and Infusion Therapies businesses,&#8221; Wood wrote in the note. &#8220;Though in reality more given this is unlikely the only facility where PD and IV solutions are produced and BAX can presumably shift capacity around.&#8221;
Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, struck Florida on Thursday with winds reaching 140 miles per hour and moved northward. The storm caused severe flooding, including a levee breach that sent water into Baxter&#8217;s facility. The flooding damaged stock and raw materials, according to a company spokesperson.
It remains unclear if the plant closure will affect medical procedures in the U.S., though Wells Fargo analysts noted that other companies, such as ICU Medical, Fresenius Kabi and B Braun SE, may be able to compensate for Baxter's supply loss.
Baxter is working closely with local officials to bring the North Cove plant back online. Fortunately, none of the facility's 2,500 employees were injured. However, the company is still verifying the safety of its workforce as communication in the area has been hampered by outages in cellular service.

Apparel company Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) will report first-quarter financial results Tuesday on the heels of recently naming a new CEO. Shares could be volatile after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> the earnings report.</a>
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect the company to report first-quarter revenue of $11.64 billion, down from $12.94 billion in last year's first quarter, according to data<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent093024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has missed revenue estimates from analysts in three of the last four quarters but beaten estimates in seven of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect the company to report first-quarter earnings per share of 52 cents, down from 94 cents in last year's first quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in four straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

What Analysts Are Saying: With the announcement that Elliot Hill is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40948580/nike-stock-jumps-9-after-the-bell-ceo-set-to-retire">returning to the company</a> and will be the new CEO, analysts have been raising their price targets.
Jefferies analyst Randal Konik maintained a Hold rating and raised the price target for Nike from $80 to $85 ahead of the earnings report.
"We believe investor expectations for F1Q are fairly low, as foot/web traffic data has remained soft and competitors continue to gain share," Konik said.
The analyst said there's "not much to get excited about yet" for Nike, but the incoming CEO will change things.
Hill's impact may not be felt until fiscal 2026, the analyst cautioned.
"Therefore, NKE shares are in ‘no man's land' and likely remain range-bound for a number of quarters."
Hill re-joining Nike is a positive development, the analyst added, with the change potentially improving culture and the company's wholesale channel.
"However, we are wary of ongoing challenges he will face."
One of the biggest catalysts for Nike is coming with an analyst day in November. The analyst said the analyst day, the company's first in seven years, could be pushed out with the change.
In the earnings report, Nike is likely to talk about the new Air Max and could also highlight upcoming products, the analyst added.
"While Nike is beginning a new multi-year product innovation cycle in 2H24, we foresee headwinds as the company works to control its current product assortment and wholesale partnerships."
Stifel analyst Jim Duffy recently maintained a Hold rating with a $79 price target.
The analyst said bringing back a long-time Nike insider should be viewed as a positive.
&#8220;Recent underperformance is a direct result of losing focus on what has made Nike great for so many years,&#8221; Duffy said. &#8220;Under Mr. Hill&#8217;s leadership, we hope to see a revitalization of the Nike culture and a renaissance in innovation and design.&#8221;
The analyst warns that changing CEOs can reset financial forecasts, trigger periods of product revitalization and potentially lead to additional management changes.
Key Items to Watch: While all the talk about Nike will be on the incoming CEO, the company likely won't share much new information about this leadership change before the move happens in mid-October.
Instead, investors will likely focus on the top- and bottom-line numbers with recent quarters showing strength in earnings per share and weakness in revenue versus Street estimates.
One of the biggest focuses from investors and analysts outside of the new CEO will likely be on the regional results. The fourth-quarter results showed strength in China and weakness in North America.
NKE Price Action: Nike stock was down 1.16% to $88.40 at market close on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $70.75 to $123.39. Nike stock is down 17% year-to-date in 2024.

Billionaire Mark Cuban recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/41075742/mark-cuban-as-treasury-secretary-no-head-of-the-sec-is-the-job-hed-take-because-gary-gensler-has-bee">expressed interest in leading</a> the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), criticizing the agency&#8217;s handling of cryptocurrency regulations under current Chair Gary Gensler.
As a well-known NBA team owner and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/03/20070630/dogecoin-gets-mark-cuban-boost-but-its-no-match-to-this-nft-cryptos-spiciness">advocate for digital assets</a> like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), Cuban has frequently used his platform, along with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, to influence the meme coin's price through public support.
Here's a look at how investing in Dogecoin based on a Cuban event would have turned out.
What Happened: On March 4, 2021, <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/03/20021204/mark-cubans-dallas-mavericks-now-accept-meme-crypto-dogecoin">Cuban announced that</a> the National Basketball Association's Dallas Mavericks would accept Dogecoin as payment for tickets and merchandise.
"The Dallas Mavericks are a long-time enthusiast of cryptocurrency, opening up new opportunities for the team to sell tickets and merchandise to its global MFFL fan base," said BitPay CEO Stephen Pair at the time. BitPay worked with the Mavericks to make the move happen.

</ul>
One of the biggest explanations Cuban gave as to why the Mavericks made the decision to accept Dogecoin was "Because we can!" "The Mavericks have decided to accept Dogecoin as payment for Mavs tickets and merchandise for on very important, earth shattering reason, because we can!" Cuban said at the time.
Cuban said sometimes you have to do fun things that could generate a lot of PR for your company or team.
The Mavericks saw $122,000 r<a href="http://'Supply And Demand Is Undefeated': Mark Cuban Celebrates Dallas Mavericks' Dogecoin Merch Sales">ecognized in Dogecoin sales </a>over its first month and set several 24-hour records with strong demand for using the meme coin towards merchandise.
Cuban <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/08/22504769/mark-cuban-reveals-how-much-dogecoin-he-owns">revealed later in 2021</a> that he personally owned $494 in Dogecoin, and the Mavericks own whatever they have collected from the merchandise and ticket sales.
"If I had to choose between buying a lottery ticket and #Dogecoin… I would buy #Dogecoin," Cuban tweeted in February 2021.
Supporting Dogecoin even further, the Mavericks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/08/22709857/dallas-mavericks-offering-25-gift-cards-for-customers-buying-merch-with-dogecoin-during-do"> offered a promotion </a>to support the meme crypto in August 2021. All customers who used Dogecoin to make purchases online totaling $150 or more received a free $25 e-gift card. The event was part of a Dogemania event.
The early support for Dogecoin and the promotion by the Mavericks wasn't lost on Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus.
"If you wanna support one of the first big name vendors to evangelize DOGE for purchases, as @mcuban says, it's ready for you," Markus tweeted at the time.
Investing With Cuban, the Mavericks: Sometimes big events in the cryptocurrency or Dogecoin world can be catalysts that drive the price higher.
Dogecoin hit a high of $.05109 on the day of the Maverick's March announcement. A $1,000 investment in Dogecoin at the time could have purchased 19,573.30 Dogecoin.
Based on a <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/todays-dogecoin-price/">price </a>of $0.1185 for Dogecoin at the time of writing, the same $1,000 investment would be worth $2,319.44 today. This marks a +131.9% over the last three and a half years. 
Dogecoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/12/24814327/2021-was-the-year-of-dogecoin-a-month-by-month-retrospective-with-top-stories">hit an all-time high</a> of $0.7375 in May 2021, a couple of months after the Mavericks began supporting the cryptocurrency. At its peak, the $1,000 investment based on the March announcement was worth $14,435.31.
Dogecoin has traded between $0.05747 and $0.2266 over the last 52 weeks.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Triumphant Return to TGS</h1>
This year marked Kojima&#8217;s return to TGS after a five-year hiatus since 2019, when he last appeared to promote the original Death Stranding. 
<a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/hideo-kojima-death-stranding-2-tgs">According </a>to IGN, The event welcomed an enthusiastic audience, eager to hear from the renowned game designer. Joining Kojima on stage were singer-songwriter Daichi Miura and voice actors Kenjiro Tsuda, Nana Mizuki, Tomokazu Sugita and Shion Wakayama, alongside Danish film director Nicolas Winding Refn.
During the presentation, Kojima highlighted the Japanese voice cast for the sequel. Tsuda and Mizuki will reprise their roles as Sam and Fragile, respectively. Sugita, known for his dynamic voice work, will lend his talents to Dollman, a small yet significant character seen in early footage interacting with Sam.
The appearance of Wakayama, who recently won the Best New Actor award at the 2023 Seiyu Awards, introduced Tomorrow, a character inspired by actress Elle Fanning. 
A preview showed Tomorrow engaging in a conversation with Rainy, played by Shioli Kutsuna, who also expressed her admiration for Kojima through a pre-recorded video message. &#8220;I had never experienced a shoot like this before,&#8221; Kutsuna stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Innovative Photo Mode And Merchandise</h1>
Kojima showcased the game&#8217;s new photo mode, allowing players to interact with characters like Fragile, Tomorrow and Sunny in a more engaging manner.
Kojima exlplained: &#8220;You can create Polaroid-like images of these moments.&#8221; The demo featured Dollman dancing alongside Sam, as players enjoyed the ability to manipulate camera angles in real time.
In addition to gameplay features, Kojima revealed plans for exclusive merchandise, designed in collaboration with renowned designer Errolson Hugh and artist Yoji Shinkawa. 
The new Death Stranding jackets, retailing at approximately $1,749 (248,600 yen), will cater to both fans and characters in the game. A pop-up shop is also set to open at PARCO Shibuya in Tokyo on Nov. 8, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the original game&#8217;s launch.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Anticipation For Release</h1>
Despite the excitement surrounding the game&#8217;s features, Kojima kept fans in the dark regarding the release date, 
While he confirmed that principal photography was completed in May, he noted that the game&#8217;s development is only &#8220;30 to 40% complete,&#8221; <a href="https://ign.com/articles/hideo-kojima-death-stranding-2-tgs">as per</a> IGN.
Kojima hinted the release date is set internally but declined to disclose it, citing &#8220;unforeseen circumstances&#8221; that prevent him from sharing specific details at this time.
&#8220;I haven&#8217;t said the release date today, but the release date has already been decided, and I&#8217;m currently working on it in preparation for that,&#8221; Kojima stated. He promised fans that more information would be revealed &#8220;at some point next year.&#8221;
