Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) stock is trading higher on Monday following a report indicating that the company is close to securing a $8 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42157390">grant</a>. 
What To Know: According to CNBC which <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/25/intel-close-to-8-billion-chips-act-grant-source.html">cited</a> people familiar with the matter, the CHIPS Act Office and Intel are close to finalizing an approximately $8 billion dollar grant. 
If awarded, the $8 billion is set to fund Intel's factory building efforts. The award is expected to be finalized by the CHIPS Act Office, which operates under the U.S. Commerce Department, within the next few weeks.
The New York Times, citing people with familiar with the matter, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/business/washington-curtails-intel-grant.html">reported</a> that the government has decided to reduce the grant from $8.5 billion to about $8 billion after the company delayed certain investments and continues to face other business struggles.
Specifically, the reduction takes into account the fact that Intel decided to delay its planned investments in chip facilities in Ohio. The company intends to complete the project by the end of the decade instead of its original 2025 target.
Furthermore, Intel has struggled to match the technological capabilities of competitors like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and recently reported its largest quarterly loss. The government&#8217;s choice to reduce the grant also takes into account a $3 billion contract to manufacture chips for the U.S. military.

Ben &amp; Jerry's and Unilever are no longer the perfect match they seemed to be 20 years ago. In 2000, Unilever bought the progressive ice cream company, hoping to bottle some of its feel-good vibes and sprinkle them across its corporate culture. For a while, it worked. Ben &amp; Jerry's became a billion-dollar brand, growing while still standing for things like same-sex marriage, climate action and even Occupy Wall Street.

</ul>
But times have changed. Last week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41984983/ben-jerrys-sues-parent-company-unilever-over-alleged-gaza-protest-censorship">Ben &amp; Jerry's sued Unilever</a>, accusing the parent company of breaking an agreement by blocking its support for Palestinian rights. Ben &amp; Jerry's claims Unilever threatened to "dismantle" its independent board and sue board members if the subsidiary issued a statement calling for "peace and a permanent and immediate ceasefire" in the Middle East. This is according to a Nov. 13 complaint filed in federal court in New York. The suit also alleges Peter ter Kulve, president of Unilever's ice cream business and Jeff Eglash, Unilever's global head of litigation, warned Ben &amp; Jerry's employees of "professional reprisals" if they pushed for a ceasefire.
Unilever responded, saying its "heart goes out to all the victims of the tragic events in the Middle East." But it firmly rejected the claims made by Ben &amp; Jerry's social mission board. "We will defend our case very strongly," a spokesperson said in comments emailed to ESG Dive on Tuesday.
This rift goes back to 2021, when Ben &amp; Jerry's decided to stop selling in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, stating it was "inconsistent with our values."
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
For Unilever, this is about more than just ice cream. It's about dollars and cents. Gaza and its implications for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39959838/unilever-boasts-improved-profitability-power-brands-led-gross-margin-expansion-ceo-says"> financial performance</a> are business issues for them. But Ben &amp; Jerry's sees it differently, viewing it as a moral stand. And that's where things get messy.
The clash isn't unique to these two brands. "Across corporate America, the calculus for companies has shifted wildly when it comes to speaking out and taking a stand," wrote columnist Beth Kowlitt of Bloomberg. "No topic today is apolitical, no issue uncontroversial." Supporting social or environmental causes comes with risks – boycotts, backlash and even falling profits. Brands like Bud Light, Disney and Target have learned the hard way that speaking out can cost.
Unilever used to focus heavily on brands with purpose. Vaseline helped Syrian refugees, Hellmann's fought food waste and Ben &amp; Jerry's was the crown jewel, the gold standard for doing good. But under pressure from activist investors and flagging results, Unilever started scaling back. Plastic reduction goals were cut and living wage commitments softened.

Meanwhile, Ben &amp; Jerry's stuck to its guns. When Unilever took over, its independent board was created to protect its social mission. That division – board for social causes, Unilever for the business – used to work. Not anymore. The line between mission and money has blurred and Unilever is learning this the hard way.
This isn't just about ice cream. It's about the end of an era. Companies once paid a premium for brands like Ben &amp; Jerry's, hoping their values would rub off. Coca-Cola bought Odwalla, PepsiCo picked up Naked Juice and Colgate snagged Tom's of Maine. But the shine of those "halo brands" has dimmed. Odwalla and Honest Tea are gone. Naked Juice was sold off.
Unilever plans to spin off or sell Ben &amp; Jerry's and its ice cream business. But will buyers see the brand's values as an asset or a liability? That's the billion-dollar question.

Ben & Jerry's And Unilever Clash Over Gaza As Social Stances Threaten A $1 Billion Brand

In the current session, the stock is trading at $134.25, after a 6.19% increase. Over the past month, e.l.f. Beauty Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELF#NYSE">ELF</a>) stock increased by 18.17%, and in the past year, by 13.25%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Evaluating e.l.f. Beauty P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
e.l.f. Beauty has a better P/E ratio of 68.34 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 44.3 of the Personal Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that e.l.f. Beauty Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732553107_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Kohl&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) shares are trading higher by 5.6% to $17.99 Monday morning. The company is set to report third-quarter results Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JWN/earnings">before the market open</a>.
What Happened: Kohl's heads into its third-quarter earnings release with a focus on improving operational efficiency and navigating continued sales pressure. In the second quarter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40599429/kohls-q2-earnings-profit-beat-inventory-decline-margin-growth-and-more">net sales declined by 4.2% year-over-year</a> to $3.525 billion, with comparable sales down 5.1%. 
Despite these challenges, the company exceeded EPS expectations, reporting 59 cents versus the 44 cent consensus, supported by a 59-basis-point expansion in gross margin to 39.6%.
Operational improvements were evident as SG&amp;A expenses declined 4.2% year-over-year, contributing to a 26-basis-point increase in operating margin to 4.4%. Inventory management was a highlight, with a 9% year-over-year reduction in inventory, aligning with the company's efficiency goals.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42156160/palantir-price-target-raised-to-75-by-dan-ives-amid-288-ytd-surge-analyst-calls-2025-a-primetime-year-for-ai">Read Also: Palantir Price Target Raised To $75 By Dan Ives Amid 288% YTD Surge</a>
For Q3, attention will likely focus on Kohl's ability to stabilize sales amidst macroeconomic headwinds and discretionary spending pressures, which impacted second-quarter performance. 
Key growth areas, including the Sephora partnership and categories like home decor and gifting, will be critical drivers. The recent partnership with Babies "R" Us may also begin contributing incremental gains.
Kohl's raised its FY24 EPS outlook to $1.75–$2.25, reflecting confidence in margin expansion, despite revised guidance for FY24 sales and comparable sales declines of 4–6% and 3–5%, respectively. Investors will look for evidence in third-quarter results that Kohl's is successfully executing its strategies to balance cost controls with growth investments.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy KSS Stock</h2>
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 Kohl&#8217;s case, it is 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.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, KSS has a 52-week high of $29.60 and a 52-week low of $16.12.

Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>) has surged 60% to $31.17 over the past month, drawing attention in a crypto market increasingly driven by institutional interest and renewed enthusiasm for blockchain technologies. This rise aligns with a record <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42165734/bitcoin-etfs-registered-record-312-billion-net-inflows-last-week">$3.13 billion inflow</a> into digital asset investment products last week, as reported by CoinShares.
What To Know: Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum blockchain, preserved after a contentious 2016 split following the DAO hack. While Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) adopted a new chain to reverse the effects of the hack, Ethereum Classic retained the unaltered blockchain.
ETC has carved out a niche as a decentralized smart contract platform, appealing to purists and developers who value its fixed monetary policy and proof-of-work consensus mechanism.

Bitcoin ETFs accounted for $3.12 billion of the record inflows last week, fueling optimism across the digital asset ecosystem. Altcoins like Ethereum Classic benefited from the trickle-down effect as investors sought alternatives that offered potential for high returns.
Additionally, Ethereum Classic may be gaining traction as a proof-of-work alternative to Ethereum, which transitioned to a proof-of-stake model in 2022. ETC miners displaced by Ethereum's shift could find a home on Ethereum Classic's network, further enhancing its security and utility.
While the record inflows into Bitcoin-dominated headlines, Ethereum Classic's outsized gains highlight the growing interest in assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Fugatto, powered by a 2.5-billion-parameter generative transformer, was trained on Nvidia DGX systems with 32 H100 Tensor Core GPUs.
