Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/grpn#NASDAQ">GRPN</a>) has seen its stock decline 25.2% year to date (YTD) against the Zacks Internet-Commerce industry&#39;s growth of 22.9%, the broader retail sector&#39;s return of 19.4% and the S&amp;P 500 index&#39;s rally of 20%.
GRPN, which has emerged as a two-sided global marketplace company, has been suffering from its weakening momentum in the international market. Unexpected site stability issues related to its cloud migration project have also been heavily affecting the company&#39;s performance.
Groupon&#39;s business model makes it heavily dependent on daily deals, which is a major headwind. Since most of the offerings are consumer discretionary products, demand is heavily dependent on macroeconomic conditions. Given this, the ongoing market uncertainties, persistent inflation, looming recessionary fears, changing consumer demand and spending patterns are dampening the company&#39;s near-term prospects.
<h2>Year-to-Date Price Performance</h2>

GRPN&#39;s bearish guidance is a negative. For 2024, the company expects revenues between $495 million and $515 million, indicating a year-over-year change between (4%) and 0%. The Zacks Consensus Estimates for 2024 revenues is pegged at $514.51 million, implying a year-over-year decline of 0.1%.
The company operates in a highly competitive market, wherein it faces significant competition from the likes of Yelp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/yelp#NYSE">YELP</a>), Rakuten, Travelzoo (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tzoo#NASDAQ">TZOO</a>) and Wowcher.
Groupon&#39;s solid momentum in its marketplace platform and strength in its e-commerce business model are major positives. Its large-scale global operations and growing relationship with third-party merchants reflect the company&#39;s upside potential, which bodes well for its long-term prospects.
Given the YTD dip in GRPN shares, investors are questioning whether this is the right time to buy the stock. Let us explore this in more detail.
<h2>E-commerce Strategies to Drive GRPN&#39;s Prospects</h2>
Groupon, through its e-commerce platform, offers numerous deals that can be accessed by users anywhere at any time.
GRPN&#39;s strategy to build a trusted marketplace, wherein customers purchase local services and experiences, is a major positive. For this, the company&#39;s growing efforts to build long-term relationships with local merchants to strengthen its inventory selection remain noteworthy.
It strives to deliver enhanced customer experience through inventory curation and improved convenience in order to boost purchase frequency on its platform.
To strengthen the platform, the company is lifting restrictions on its deeply discounted deals and is enabling customers to purchase such deals more than once to improve the frequency and drive growth in billings.
Growing momentum across the North America region has been driving growth in the company&#39;s Local segment, which contributes the most to GRPN&#39;s total revenues and remains crucial for its e-commerce business. In second-quarter 2024, Local revenues were $114.1 million (92% of total revenues), driven by North America Local revenues, which grew 7.3% year over year.
Groupon&#39;s long-term prospects rest upon its ability to offer more innovative products and build a broader Local e-commerce platform.&nbsp;
The company&#39;s strengthening supply drivers for North America Local are tailwinds. Groupon is witnessing growing traction among large enterprise merchants, thanks to expanding 
relationships with existing partners, and the addition of brands to the platform.
GRPN&#39;s initiatives to remove lower-quality deals from its site that do not align with the brand promise are a plus. Groupon also made substantial progress in curating its deals, with an enhanced presentation, improved deal copy and better images.
Solid demand for family-friendly activities, ranging from trampoline parks and bowling alleys to amusement parks and water parks, is another positive. The company expects to see continued growth in these areas in the days ahead.
Growing momentum in Groupon&#39;s latest initiative called Flash Sale, which was tested first in first-quarter 2024 with one enterprise merchant, is noteworthy. The Flash Sale concept boosted its performance and, hence, the company expanded this program in second-quarter 2024, running over a dozen flash sales with existing merchants to drive performance and boost engagement on its site. Although the initiative is fresh and new, it reflects the company&#39;s potential to expand its business by developing products to cross-sell and up-sell into its supply base.
Groupon&#39;s AI initiative is a major plus. AI integration has enabled it to improve the copywriting of its deals and deal creation process. It leverages AI on projects in product and engineering to improve deal recommendation and quality assurance. Improvements in enterprise sales organization and process changes, combined with value proposition changes, continue to contribute to growth in its enterprise accounts.
<h2>Upward Earnings Trend Paints Bright Picture for GRPN</h2>
Investors are turning bullish about Groupon&#39;s upside potential, which is reflected in the upward revisions in earnings estimates.
For 2024, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 47 cents per share, whereas the company reported a 2023 loss of 52 cents. The estimate has been revised upward by 56.7% over the past 60 days.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h2>Attractive Valuation: A Silver Lining for GRPN</h2>
Groupon is currently trading at a discount with a forward 12-month Price/Sales of 0.7X compared with the industry&#39;s 1.72X and lower than the median of 0.84X. This indicates an excellent opportunity for investors.
GRPN also has a Value Score of B, which is hard to ignore.

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
Despite near-term hurdles, Groupon&#39;s strong marketplace, robust e-commerce business model, growing merchants base and solid supply drivers present a solid investment opportunity for growth-seeking investors.
Its attractive valuation and Growth Score of A make a compelling case for buying the GRPN stock at its current levels.
Groupon sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present.

Groupon Shares Decline 25.2% YTD: Should You Buy the Dip Right Now?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against several major insulin manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), alleging a conspiracy to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40560002/governments-suing-pharmacy-benefit-managers-over-insulin-prices-have-long-benefited-from-their-r" rel="noreferrer noopener">inflate insulin prices</a>.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-big-pharma-drug-manufacturers-and-pharmacy-benefit-managers" rel="noreferrer noopener">lawsuit</a> targets pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and PBMs, including Cigna Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) Express Scripts and CVS Health Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) CVS Pharmacy, accusing them of engaging in an unlawful scheme to raise insulin prices.

According to the lawsuit, insulin manufacturers artificially raised the prices of their drugs while paying PBMs a significant, undisclosed portion in return for preferred placement in PBM offerings.
The PBMs allegedly rewarded the manufacturers with the highest list prices by giving their products preferred status while excluding more affordable alternatives.
These insulin drugs, which cost manufacturers less than $2 to produce, were introduced in the late 1990s at $20 per vial. However, prices have now soared to between $300 and $700 per vial.
Over the past decade, some manufacturers have raised insulin prices by as much as 1,000%.
Paxton expressed outrage over the alleged scheme, stating, "This is a disturbing conspiracy by which pharmaceutical companies were intentionally and artificially inflating the price of insulin. Big Pharma insulin manufacturers and PBMs worked together to take advantage of diabetes patients and drive prices as high as they could." He vowed to hold these companies accountable for their actions.
The complaint further claims that while PBMs have publicly positioned themselves as entities working to reduce drug prices and improve treatment access, their actions tell a different story.
The lawsuit argues that the PBMs have colluded with insulin manufacturers to manipulate the market for their financial gain, all at the expense of Texas diabetics and healthcare payors.

Texas Attorney General Sues Insulin Manufacturers and Pharmacy Benefit Managers Over Price-Fixing Conspiracy That Increased Prices by 1,000%

Deutsche Bank analyst Scott Deuschle maintains Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) with a Buy, raising the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LMT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from&nbsp;$600&nbsp;to&nbsp;$620.</a>
The analyst suggests that Lockheed Martin likely prefunds its pension in the fourth quarter, although the company may delay a formal announcement until after it&#8217;s completed.
Deuschle adds that the associated debt issuance for this funding is expected to occur sooner.
The analyst forecasts third-quarter EPS of $6.70, approximately 4% above the Street&#8217;s estimate of $6.47.
Deuschle sees revenue of around $17.4 billion, which is $100 million below the Street&#8217;s expectation, as the analyst incorporates the $500 million F-35 contract delay impact at Aeronautics, which is not fully reflected in the Street&#8217;s projections.
The analyst identifies the greatest upside potential in Space, noting that underlying margins excluding United Launch Alliance (ULA)&nbsp;are expected to decline significantly in the second half.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41012117/lockheed-martins-unit-secures-contract-for-ch-53k-gearbox-assemblies" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lockheed Martin&#8217;s Unit Secures Contract for CH-53K Gearbox Assemblies</a>
This outlook seems conservative, considering that two major contracts—Orion and OPIR—are entering a highly mature phase of their production lifecycle.
The analyst projects a third-quarter revenue beat, which may lead to an upward revision of the full-year revenue guidance, potentially nearing $72 billion.
Deuschle also sees a 1%-2% increase to the midpoint of the full-year segment EBIT guidance, especially if EBIT upside is realized in Space during the third quarter, as seen in the first half.
The analyst sees the company offer some indication for 2025 financial trends.
Given the firm&#8217;s conservative track record, the analyst sees the company is likely to project approximately 3% revenue growth and reiterates its target for 10-20 basis points of margin expansion.
Deuschle also projects a dividend increase announcement ahead of earnings, and the buyback authorization will likely be topped up.
Price Action: LMT shares are trading lower by 0.29% to $601.79 at last check Thursday.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is gearing up for a $783 million debt sale, coinciding with a busy October that features the highly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808924/tesla-robotaxi-event-to-be-held-in-los-angeles-on-1010-says-senior-company-exec-existing-shareholder">anticipated Robotaxi Day.</a>
What Happened: Tesla, which recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41141444/tesla-stock-plunges-3-despite-q3-deliveries-exceeding-consensus-and-growing-year-over-year"> reported third-quarter delivery</a> and production figures, could price its debt sale as early as next week.
The debt sale, which is being run by Societe Generale, would see Tesla provide the backing of prime borrowers' car leases, as reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-03/tesla-plans-783-million-debt-sale-backed-by-prime-leases?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>.
According to the report, this would mark Tesla&#8217;s second financing this year. Tesla raised $750 million in March.
By leveraging its car leases, Tesla would join other automakers in using asset-backed securities as a tool to finance future growth.
Tesla has previously used asset-backed securities for funding, but not as much as its U.S. automotive rivals, the report said.

</ul>
 What's Next: The financing news follows Tesla&#8217;s third-quarter delivery figures and comes ahead of several key October catalysts, which could lead to significant volatility in the company&#8217;s stock.
Tesla will host its Robotaxi Day on Oct. 10 and report third-quarter financial results on Oct. 23, which mark two of the biggest company events in the last three months of the calendar year.
The company will<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41027049/tesla-returns-to-paris-motor-show-for-first-time-in-6-years-cybertruck-to-be-featured-will-elon-musk"> also exhibit multiple models</a>, including the Cybertruck, at the Paris Auto Show from Oct. 14 to Oct. 20. This marks Tesla's first appearance at the auto show in six years.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock was down 4% to $238.26 on Thursday, compared to a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $271.00. It is down 4.1% year-to-date in 2024.

Tesla Uses Auto Leases To Back $783M Debt Sale: Report

FFWM

First Foundation shares are trading higher after the company announced it will be reclassifying $1.9 billion from its multifamily portfolio from loans held to maturity to loans held for sale.

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) owned streaming platform AppleTV+ is one of the smaller players in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming"> the streaming market.</a>
When it comes to star power, Apple has landed some big names. A movie with two of the biggest actors around could help boost the future outlook.
What Happened: With ballooning budgets and tough decisions on whether to play movies in cinemas, and then stream them on AppleTV+, the technology giant recently announced it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41073117/apples-reviews-strategy-cuts-film-budgets-after-blockbuster-spend-whats-next-for-apple-tv">scale back movie budgets.</a>
That decision comes after Apple recently debuted "Wolfs" in a limited theatrical release ahead of its Sept. 27 streaming premiere on AppleTV+.
While most films starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, would command a premium budget and likely see a strong box office run, the "Wolfs" stars have denied getting a reported $35 million each and said they were paid less for the film
After originally planning on releasing the movie widely in movie theaters, Apple made the decision to switch to a limited run ahead of the streaming premiere.
The decision may have paid off with Apple saying "Wolfs" is now the most viewed movie in AppleTV+ history, without providing a specific figure.
"Wolfs" helped boost viewership on AppleTV+ by 30% week-over-week after the movie's premiere according to a report from <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/10/george-clooney-brad-pitt-wolfs-most-viewed-movie-in-apple-tv-history-1236105000/">Deadline</a>.
The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, has already been green lit for a sequel by Apple, with the film's writer and director Jon Watts returning.
"When George, Brad and Jon approached us with the idea for ‘Wolfs,' it was an easy call – a crackling, fun movie starring two Oscar winners who everyone knows are iconic together," Apple Original Films' head of features Matt Dentler said.
Dentler said AppleTV+ could be the "home for the world's most talented artists to create and deliver their best work" and the audience viewership has been existing.

</ul>
Why It Matters: Apple TV+ was launched on Nov. 1, 2019. It marked Apple&#8217;s entry into the competitive streaming market, which is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38337256/netflix-once-again-evolved-and-eclipsed-its-streaming-war-rivals">dominated by </a>Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
While the decision not to run the movie in theaters may have been tough for Apple and left money on the table, it likely means a boost to streaming viewership figures and potentially an uptick in subscriber.
Apple has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/03/37558754/apples-1b-gamble-on-3-blockbusters-analyzing-box-office-results-streaming-impact-and-oscar-nominatio">seen recent success </a>at the Academy Awards with "CODA," which won a historic Oscar for Best Picture at the 94th Academy Awards. 
Other Apple-produced movies also saw theatrical releases. They include:
<ul>
<li>&#8220;<a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt5537002/?ref_=bo_se_r_1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Killers of the Flowers Moon</a>&#8220;: $67.9 million domestic, $89 million international, $156.9 million global</li>
<li>&#8220;<a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt13287846/?ref_=bo_se_r_1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Napoleon</a>&#8220;: $61.5 million domestic, $159.5 million international, $221 million global</li>
<li>&#8220;<a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt15009428/?ref_=bo_se_r_1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argylle</a>&#8220;: $44.2 million domestic, $48.2 million international, $92.5 million global</li>
</ul>
In total, the three movies cost around $700 million for Apple and grossed $470.4 million worldwide, according to BoxOfficeMojo.
While the box office figures didn't break even on costs, a studio source told Variety that both "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Napoleon" were profitable thanks to other revenue streams.
Netflix, in contrast, rarely uses the theater distribution model for its films. But Apple has adopted a strategy of premiering its major films in theaters before offering them exclusively on its streaming platform, Apple TV+.
This model helps Apple recover some of its costs and could also help the company be a staple for award shows that require a theatrical run.
Apple finds itself in a difficult place with the need to spend more on content to boost subscribers, but also having less to spend on movies and content due to a smaller subscriber base. With the parent company a cash cow, Apple may be able to maintain losses for its streaming business if it chooses to, but could also push for a larger focus on profits.
Reports say Apple is considering<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/40014040/apple-to-follow-netflix-disney-ad-supported-appletv-streaming-plan-could-launch-soon"> launching an ad-supported </a>streaming plan soon, which could help alleviate some of the revenue concerns and bring in more money to be spent on content.
The company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32764885/lionel-messi-joins-mls-in-surprise-move-heres-how-apple-could-have-played-into-decision-to-join-davi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previously acquired the rights</a>&nbsp;to Major League Soccer and select Major League Baseball games. The MLS bet paid off with superstar&nbsp;Lionel Messi&nbsp;joining the league and Apple&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33737512/lionel-messis-inter-miami-stint-leads-to-explosive-surge-in-mls-streaming-subscribers-double" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">seeing a boost</a>&nbsp;in subscribers to the platform.
Apple will release "Blitz" in select theaters on Nov. 1 with a streaming premiere on AppleTV+ on Nov. 22. The company also has "F1," which stars Pitt, opening in theaters on June 25, 2025.

Apple TV+ Scores Biggest Streaming Movie In History Thanks To George Clooney, Brad Pitt

Nike (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nke#NYSE">NKE</a>) shares fell after the Q1 report, which opened an opportunity for investors. The fall is due to numerous factors, including weaker-than-expected results, revoked guidance, and a CEO transition that is ultimately expected to turn the company around. The takeaway is that Nike faces headwinds and has a long road to recovery, but market support remains firm, and recovery is expected. The question is if now is the right time to buy or if the stock will make a deeper correction before the rebound begins.
The analysts are trimming targets but have yet to make any downgrades. The 19 MarketBeat tracks have the stock pegged at a Moderate Buy and trading near a floor in the low $70s. With this dynamic in play, the market will likely bottom soon and begin to rebuild the base. The critical drivers for the action going forward will be a recovery in wholesales and product innovation, the primary reasons for the company&#39;s weakness today. Nike&#39;s leaning into direct-to-consumer sales eroded wholesaler support, exacerbating market share losses related to innovation.&nbsp;
Nike did not make any significant product innovations for years until 2024, losing market share to start-ups like On Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/onon#NYSE">ONON</a>) and legacy shoemakers like Adidas (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/adddf#OTC">ADDDF</a>) and Deckers Outdoors (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/deck#NYSE">DECK</a>). On Holdings is growing at an industry-leading double-digit pace while Nike flounders in contraction. Even so, the new Nike pipeline depends on updates to existing Air technology, athlete partnerships to drive product changes, and streamlined production, which may not yield results quickly. The best estimates are for the changes to take effect in early 2026, more than eighteen months away.&nbsp;
<h2>Nike Had a Tough Quarter, But Not a Bad One</h2>
Nike had a tough time in Q1, but the business remains profitable, producing positive cash flow sufficient to sustain balance sheet quality and capital returns. The company reported $11.6 billion in net revenue, down 10.4% compared to last year, falling short of the consensus estimates but beating the bottom line. Revenue was impacted by weakness in Nike and Converse brands, DTC, and wholesales, with a contraction in the core footwear and apparel categories. Equipment is the single area of strength, up 34%, aiding bottom-line results.&nbsp;
The margin news is also mixed, with gross margin and selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&amp;A) improving but offset by increased sales and tax expenses. The takeaway is that net income is down 28% year over year, and the diluted GAAP EPS is 26% but well above forecasts, reflecting operational improvements and quality. The net result is $0.70 in GAAP EPS, which is more than 3500 basis points above consensus, with margin quality expected to continue in the coming quarters.&nbsp;
The details that spooked the market are the retracted full-year guidance and delayed investor day conference, which brings an element of uncertainty to the outlook with the CEO change due soon. As it is, the company expects Q2 revenue to be down 8% to 10%, putting the H1 outlook in alignment with the prior forecast.&nbsp;
<h2>No Red Flags on Nike&#39;s Strong Balance Sheet: Capital Returns Can Run</h2>
As troubled as Nike is, the company produced a positive cash flow quarter and improved its balance sheet while sustaining dividends and share repurchases. The share repurchases topped $1 billion for the quarter, helping to reduce the average count by 2.7%, and will likely continue as the fiscal year progresses.&nbsp;
The dividend is also safe at roughly 50% of the quarterly earnings. However, the pace of annual increase will likely slow from double-digits into the low single-digits until growth is reinvigorated. Regarding the balance sheet, cash and assets are up compared to last year, and debt and equity are relatively flat, leaving the company in a net-cash position relative to its debt, with leverage low at 0.6x equity. Nike has work to do but is in a solid financial position, capable of making the necessary moves to achieve its goal.&nbsp;

Decoding ZIM Integrated Shipping's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

Oil is trading more than 5% higher Thursday on the heels of President Joe Biden&#8216;s statement that the U.S. spoke with Israel about a possible attack on Iran's oil facilities.
"We're in discussions about that,&#8221; Biden said during an interaction with reporters. 
Biden seemingly indicated he wasn&#8217;t partial to the idea of striking at Iran&#8217;s oil facilities, before cutting himself off: &#8220;I think that would be a little&#8230; anyway.&#8221; See video below.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Biden: Discussing Israeli strikes on Iran oil facilities &#x7C; AJ #shorts" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/InF5MnsXAt0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</figure>
When one reporter asked whether Biden would &#8220;allow&#8221; Israel to retaliate against Iran, Biden swiftly corrected him: &#8220;First of all, we don&#8217;t &#8216;allow&#8217; Israel. We advise Israel.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35136071/israel-under-siege-unprecedented-hamas-attack-sparks-intense-clashes-netanyahu-says-we-are-at-war">Since Oct. 7, 2023</a>, Israel has been fighting Hamas in Gaza as well as Hezbollah in Lebanon. Both groups are considered terrorist organizations by the U.S.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oil And The Israel-Iran Conflict</h3>
Iran is the seventh-largest oil producer in the world. The country, which backs the Hezbollah militant group, exports around half its production abroad. 
China, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40596334/asia-markets-mixed-europe-gains-crude-oil-falls-on-chinese-demand-concerns-global-markets-today-whil">oil demand is weak</a>, is its main customer.
Since Iran's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41126038/iran-attacks-israel-with-missiles-middle-east-tensions-escalates-s-p-500-stocks-bitcoin-fall-as-oil">missile attack on Israel</a> on Monday, the price of barrels has fluctuated. As of Oct. 3, the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil is $73.83 per barrel. This reflects a 5.32% increase from the previous day&#8217;s close of $70.10.
The price of Brent crude is approximately $77.76 per barrel. It has fluctuated within a range of $74.33 to $77.58 for the day.
The U.S., which is producing more oil under Biden than any other U.S. presidential administration, has been filling its reserves. The Biden administration acquired an additional <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/24/10/41146905/geopolitical-risks-may-be-biggest-threat-to-markets-boe-says">6 million barrels of crude</a> just this week.
It&#8217;s worth noting that ongoing violence in the Middle East puts the Straits of Hormuz at risk. A third of tanker traffic and a fifth of LNG frozen gas is transported through that passageway. 
The U.S. and its allies are likely determined to keep the Strait open due to its strategic importance. Any attempt to block the Strait could provoke military intervention.
Iran controls much of the northern coastline of the Strait and has previously threatened to block the passage in response to sanctions or conflicts with Western countries. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction</h3>
So far, market reaction to the Middle East conflict is relatively mute compared to February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine.
At the time, the oil market reacted with significant volatility and disruption, leading to a sharp rise in global prices. 
Brent crude, the global benchmark, surged above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014, and by March 2022, it had briefly spiked to $139 per barrel, near the all-time high.

Oil Prices Rally: Biden Confirms US 'Discussions' With Israel About Striking Iran Facilities

Deutsche Bank analyst Scott Deuschle changed price targets and presented earnings previews for major Aerospace companies such as GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWM#NYSE">HWM</a>).
The analyst writes that these stocks are well-insulated against end-market challenges and are likely to achieve the largest earnings beats and drive significant upward revisions.
GE Aerospace: The analyst raised the price target to $235 from $212 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ge/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
Deuschle expects a 9% EPS beat in their base case and a 15% beat in the blue sky scenario for the third quarter.
In both cases, the analyst anticipates an increase in 2024 guidance, with a potential 7% EBIT rise if the blue sky scenario occurs.
Strong CSA collections from the summer flying season could drive free cash flow (FCF) above expectations, leading to an increase in FCF guidance, adds the analyst.
Overall, Deuschle says that they are optimistic ahead of the earnings release due to the potential for a significant beat and raise this quarter.

Howmet: The analyst raised the price target to $125 from $106 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hwm/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst writes that the base case estimates third-quarter EPS at $0.68, above the Street&#8217;s $0.66, with a roughly 2% midpoint guidance increase.
The analyst cited upside drivers such as pricing strategies, strong execution allowing shipments above long-term agreement caps, and earlier-than-expected generation 2 LEAP HPT blade shipments.
Deuschle expects HWM to guide 2025 revenue in line with the Street (+10%), which could trigger further positive revisions, given a higher 2024 base and likely surprises in Engine Products EBITDA margins.

For Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), the analyst lowered the price target to $195 from $225 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst anticipates a third-quarter free cash flow burn of ($4.0 billion), up from a previous estimate of ($2.4 billion), due to the strike&#8217;s impact on September deliveries and ongoing cash pressures in Boeing&#8217;s Defense segment.
The forecast includes a $1 billion EBIT loss at Boeing Defense Systems (BDS) and a $1.6 billion loss at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), adds the analyst.
Deuschle says that BCA loss forecast assumes a $1 billion forward loss on the 777X, reflecting delays in entry into service and increased costs related to union negotiations and wage hikes.

GE and Howmet Poised for Strong Earnings as Aerospace Sector Stays Resilient: Analyst

The Western Union Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wu#NYSE">WU</a>) inked a deal with the Open Finance company, Khipu, enabling customers to transfer money digitally using any bank account in Chile.
The agreement incorporates Khipu&#39;s technology into Western Union&#39;s mobile app and website. Earlier, customers paying through a bank account had to leave the Western Union app or website and log into their bank&#39;s platform to complete the payment. This step is now removed as a result of the latest integration, allowing the entire transaction to be completed within the Western Union platform. The service is now available via the Western Union Chile app and website.
Western Union has also introduced a special promotion offer with a $0 fee for the first remittance made using the &quot;Online Bank Transfer&quot; option, thereby encouraging customers to explore the new service. The collaboration between WU and Khipu makes sure that cross-border payments can be made faster and more seamlessly by Chile&#39;s customers.
<h2>Benefits of the Recent Move to Western Union</h2>
The recent initiative reflects Western Union&#39;s sincere efforts to establish a solid footprint across the Chilean remittance market.&nbsp;
Moves similar to the latest one are indicative of Western Union&#39;s efforts to align with its global digital expansion strategy, designed to attract more customers through its diverse service offerings. Speedier money transfers brought about by integrating Khipu&#39;s technology into the WU platform are likely to result in the increased usage of its money transfer services. This move is likely to further boost the company&#39;s digital money transfer revenues in the days ahead.
Strategic partnerships with financial service providers and significant investments have enabled Western Union to develop a robust digital platform. This platform&#39;s strength has made it a preferred partner for efficient global money transfers and advancing digitization in underserved regions.
<h2>Western Union&#39;s Stock Price Performance</h2>
Shares of Western Union have dipped 0.7% year to date against the industry&#39;s 8.8% growth.

Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices around the $60,000 mark, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez marked $60,365 as the key Bitcoin level to watch. A break below this would take Bitcoin to $57,420. If this level holds, the crypto king will <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1841882152528486606">rebound</a> to $63,300, according to the analyst.
CryptoCon tweeted that the Bitcoin bull market starts in two months, according to their analysis.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Drop Again, Continue Defying 'Uptober' Sentiments: Watch This Key Level For A Rebound To $63K, Says Analyst

Airline stocks have endured a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41124443/whats-going-on-with-delta-united-and-spirit-airlines-shares-tuesday">year of turbulence</a>, reflected by wild swings in share price, industry expectations and earnings. Recent insider trades of airline companies could indicate where the industry will head next.
The Trades: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/">Benzinga Edge compiles information </a>on insider trade filings.
Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) experienced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41156975/southwest-airlines-director-rakesh-gangwal-invests-over-100m-in-shares-amid-elliott-managements-">flurry of insider activity</a> in recent days. Director Rakesh Gangwal invested over $100,000,000 in Southwest shares in late September and early October. Executive Chairman Gary C Kelly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LUV/insider-trades">bought $1,000,000 of Southwest</a> shares in late September.
Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) is the largest American airline company. The Atlanta-based giant experienced several insider sales in early 2024. President Glen W Hauenstein sold $4,904,600 in Delta stock in April, over 30% of his total holding. Executive Vice President Peter W Carter sold $2,500,000 of Delta shares that month, over 25% of his position.
Delta has experienced a volatile year. Its share price rose over 30% from January to mid-May, but a subsequent drawdown erased much of its gains. A recovery followed from August to late September.
Several Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) executives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALGT/insider-trades">have sold shares</a> in 2024. Chief Marketing Officer Scott DeAngelo sold over $1,000,000 in Allegiant stock in May. DeAngelo has since <a href="https://ir.allegiantair.com/news/news-details/2024/Allegiant-Announces-Resignation-of-Executive-Vice-President-and-Chief-Marketing-Officer-Scott-DeAngelo/default.aspx">resigned</a> from the company. Chief Operating Officer Frank Wilper and Director Gary Ellmer also made sales in the spring and summer.
Why it Matters: Insider trading activity is often viewed as a valuable indicator of a company's future prospects. When top executives or board members buy or sell shares, it can signal their confidence—or lack thereof—in the company's performance. In the case of airline stocks, this insider movement may be especially relevant as the industry navigates a turbulent environment marked by fluctuating demand, rising fuel costs, and post-pandemic recovery.
For investors, tracking these insider trades provides a critical lens into how industry leaders perceive future risks and opportunities, which can guide their own strategies in an increasingly volatile market.

Macquarie Maintains Outperform on Roku, Raises Price Target to $90

Proficient Auto Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAL#NASDAQ">PAL</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. Stifel analyst J. Bruce Chan reiterated a Buy rating on the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PAL/analyst-ratings">with a price target of $21.00.</a>
The analyst writes that a prolonged port strike could pressure volumes at the company. While a backlog of under a week should be manageable this quarter, longer disruptions could extend impacts into 2025.
The auto-hauling sector offers greater yield benefits than the broader dry van truckload market, as ad hoc moves can command 2-3 times the average contract pricing, adds the analyst.
Chan says that while lower volume does create some negative operating leverage, its impact is less severe due to fewer lost backhauls and a smaller terminal network compared to LTL.
The analyst writes that Proficient&#8217;s stock has faced pressure recently due to an unexpected management departure, a weak third-quarter FY24 operating environment, and ongoing port strikes.
However, Chan notes the equity has overcorrected for these short-term disruptions, which should have minimal impact on 2025 valuations.
The analyst maintains 2024 and 2025 EPS estimates at $0.88 and $1.54, respectively.
Price Action: PAL shares are up 4.55% at $13.80 at the last check Thursday.
