Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices dropping 4%, crypto trader Scient thinks panic is already hitting all-time highs. He outlined two scenarios for the upcoming price movement: Bearish and Bullish, clarifying the direction will be out in next 24 or 48 hours.

Another crypto trader, Ted Pillows, marks this as a Bitcoin bullish retest. He stated, "Nothing goes up forever, and corrections are needed to flush the overleveraged longs." He <a href="https://x.com/TedPillows/status/1840751602124091474">expects</a> a reversal soon.
Trader CJ also suggests two possible outcomes for Bitcoin&#8217;s price at the end of September. He <a href="https://x.com/CJ900X/status/1840814639807877585">stated</a> that a close at $65,594 or higher signals a strong bullish trend, with Bitcoin expected to enter a &#8220;super cycle&#8221; that could push it to $100,000 in Q4. Positive momentum is driven by institutional and political factors.
On the other hand, a close at $65,592 or lower is a bearish scenario where institutions have been offloading their Bitcoin holdings. This could lead to a potential drop below $30,000. In this case, short positions are recommended as further declines are anticipated.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) shares are trading lower by 2.2% to $173.60 during Monday&#8217;s session. Shares of cruise stocks are trading lower in sympathy with Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), which issued guidance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41095980/carnival-q3-earnings-15-topline-growth-record-operating-income-guidance-boost-and-more">below estimates</a>.
What Happened: Royal Caribbean saw its stock decline on Monday following the release of Carnival&#8217;s third-quarter earnings, despite Carnival reporting better-than-expected results. 
Carnival&#8217;s earnings report highlighted a strong quarter, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.27, surpassing analyst expectations of $1.16, and quarterly sales of $7.90 billion, up 15.2% year-over-year. 
Despite these positive figures, the market's focus shifted to Carnival's weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter guidance, which raised concerns about the broader cruise industry, leading to declines in Royal Caribbean&#8217;s stock.

Royal Caribbean, as one of the largest cruise operators in the world, often moves in tandem with its major competitors like Carnival. With Carnival projecting fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of just 5 cents—significantly below analyst estimates of $1.16—investors became wary of broader industry challenges heading into the traditionally slower winter season. 
Carnival's cautious outlook for the coming quarter, despite solid bookings and liquidity, suggests that the cruise industry may face lingering pressures, including rising operating costs, fuel price volatility, and economic uncertainty that could weigh on profitability.
What Else: Royal Caribbean has been riding a wave of post-pandemic recovery, with demand for cruises rebounding sharply as consumers sought leisure travel after years of restrictions. The company, known for its luxury and innovative cruise offerings, such as the world's largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, has seen strong bookings and record demand for 2024 sailings. 
However, the news from Carnival indicated that despite high occupancy levels and solid forward bookings, near-term earnings could be pressured by rising expenses, such as fuel costs and inflationary pressures on labor and supply chains.
Royal Caribbean&#8217;s stock has benefited from a booming travel industry, with many analysts expecting continued strength in consumer demand for cruises. However, the lower-than-expected earnings guidance from Carnival cast a shadow over these expectations, prompting fears that Royal Caribbean may also face margin compression in the final quarter of 2024. 
Investors appear to be anticipating that similar cost challenges could affect Royal Caribbean&#8217;s upcoming earnings, given that both companies operate in the same competitive and cost-sensitive industry.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RCL 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 Royal Caribbean Group&#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>, RCL has a 52-week high of $184.41 and a 52-week low of $78.35.

Why Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL) Shares Are Falling

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has long been vocal about his views on U.S. immigration policy, advocating for increased legal immigration while calling for tougher enforcement against illegal crossings. 
During a September 2023 visit to the U.S.-Mexico border, Musk underscored his stance, arguing that America should welcome hardworking immigrants but must also uphold the law. This complex view on immigration, shaped by his own experiences as an immigrant, has sparked significant attention.
An often-overlooked chapter of Musk's life involves his early years in the U.S. when he and his brother, Kimbal Musk, were building their first startup, Zip2.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/41084606/elon-musk-targets-lopsided-anti-trump-donations-by-netflix-employees-as-cancellations-soare">Elon Musk Targets &#8216;Lopsided&#8217; Anti-Trump Donations By Netflix Employees As Cancellations Soared After Co-Founder Reed Hastings Donated To Kamala Harris</a>
What Happened: In a 2013 Milken Institute event, Kimbal Musk openly shared that both he and Elon were &#8220;illegal immigrants&#8221; during the launch of Zip2 — their first U.S.-based company, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/29/us/elon-musk-immigration-gray-area-cec/index.html">CNN </a>reports. 
Elon Musk interjected, calling the situation a &#8220;gray area.&#8221; Still, the anecdote highlights a less-discussed chapter in his personal immigration journey.
It is unclear what kind of visas they had at the time.
According to CNN, investors helped the Musk brothers secure legal status shortly after funding arrived.
More recently, Elon Musk aligned his views with those of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who warned that failure to control the border would &#8220;destroy our country.&#8221; Musk echoed Dimon's sentiments on X, agreeing that border control is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41017982/elon-musk-agrees-with-jamie-dimon-if-you-do-not-control-the-borders-you-are-going-to-destroy-our-cou">critical to national security.</a>
Why It Matters: Elon Musk's personal immigration story, particularly the details shared by his brother, adds complexity to his vocal stance on immigration reform. His calls for stricter enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, juxtaposed with the challenges he faced as an immigrant entrepreneur, reflect the broader challenges many face within the current system.
 This background also resonates with voters, as immigration remains a key issue heading into the 2024 presidential election.
Musk's influence, especially through his platform X, continues to drive significant public discourse around the need for legal immigration reforms while addressing illegal immigration concerns. His agreement with Dimon on border security amplifies the debate, positioning Musk as a central figure in this conversation.

Elon Musk's Brother Once Said They Were 'Illegal Immigrants' During Startup's Early Days

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>) shares are trading lower by 5.3% to $39.20 during Monday&#8217;s session. Shares of auto supplier stocks may be under pressure following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41089577/whats-going-on-with-stellantis-stock-monday">weak guidance</a> from Stellantis, which could be causing concern for the sector.
What Happened: Shares of Advance Auto Parts fell sharply Monday, following the announcement from Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) that the global automaker revised its fiscal 2024 guidance.
The Stellantis report, which sent shockwaves across the auto sector, also led to declines in other major automakers like General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), with market concerns growing over weakened auto sales, supply chain constraints, and profitability.

Stellantis, the parent company of brands like Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep, cut its adjusted operating margin expectations to a range of 5.5%-7.0%, down from its prior double-digit growth targets. The company also projected negative industrial free cash flow for fiscal 2024, between -€5 billion to -€10 billion, a stark contrast to previous expectations of positive cash flow. 
These financial adjustments are attributed to substantial shipment declines in North America, increased incentives on aging vehicle inventories, and overall deterioration in global market conditions, which many analysts believe could signal broader challenges for the automotive and aftermarket parts industries.
What Else: Advance Auto Parts, a leading provider of aftermarket automotive parts, is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in the broader automotive sector. While the company primarily caters to the DIY market and professional repair shops, any slowdown in new car sales and production impacts the demand for aftermarket parts. 
Stellantis' announcement of declining shipments — now expected to reduce by over 200,000 vehicles in the second half of 2024 — suggests fewer cars on the road and in need of parts over the near term. 
Additionally, the increased incentives to push older model-year vehicles could mean reduced profitability for automakers, which often translates into leaner inventory and less need for replenishment in parts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is AAP A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAP">Advance Auto Parts</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Advance Auto Parts does pay a dividend, which yields 1.64% per year as of the closing price on Sep. 30, 2024. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 8.89%, you'll need to buy a share of Allspring Inc Opps by the Oct. 15, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.05 on Nov. 1, 2024.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAP">Advance Auto Parts</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AAP has a 52-week high of $88.56 and a 52-week low of $37.51.

JPMorgan Chase Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Shares of General Motors Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) are experiencing declines amid broad weakness in the auto sector following Stellantis Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41089577/whats-going-on-with-stellantis-stock-monday">lowering its full-year 2024 guidance.</a>
What To Know: Stellantis has revised its adjusted operating margin expectations to a range of 5.5%–7.0%, a drop from the double-digit growth previously forecasted. Additionally, the company now anticipates industrial free cash flow for fiscal 2024 to fall between negative €5 billion and negative €10 billion, reversing its earlier positive outlook.
This revision comes as Stellantis faces challenges with North American performance and broader global industry deterioration. The automaker is taking several remedial steps, including cutting North American shipments by over 200,000 vehicles in the second half of 2024—double the previous guidance of 100,000—while increasing incentives on older model-year vehicles to stimulate demand. These actions follow the company's earlier report of a 14% revenue decline in the first half of 2024, with net profit dropping by 48%.
GM And F Price Action: General Motors shares were down by 2.61% at $44.80 and Ford shares were down by 2.41% at $10.52 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Why Are General Motors And Ford Shares Trading Lower Today

Getting big returns from financial portfolios, whether through stocks, bonds, ETFs, other securities, or a combination of all, is an investor&#39;s dream. But for income investors, generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments is your primary focus.
Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and of course, dividends. A dividend is that coveted distribution of a company&#39;s earnings paid out to shareholders, and investors often view it by its dividend yield, a metric that measures the dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.
<h2>Unitil in Focus</h2>
Headquartered in Hampton, Unitil (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/utl#NYSE">UTL</a>) is a Utilities stock that has seen a price change of 13.54% so far this year. The utility is paying out a dividend of $0.43 per share at the moment, with a dividend yield of 2.85% compared to the Utility - Electric Power industry&#39;s yield of 3.24% and the S&amp;P 500&#39;s yield of 1.52%.
Taking a look at the company&#39;s dividend growth, its current annualized dividend of $1.70 is up 4.9% from last year. In the past five-year period, Unitil has increased its dividend 5 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 2.77%. Any future dividend growth will depend on both earnings growth and the company&#39;s payout ratio; a payout ratio is the proportion of a firm&#39;s annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Unitil&#39;s current payout ratio is 56%. This means it paid out 56% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
Looking at this fiscal year, UTL expects solid earnings growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 is $2.92 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 3.55%.
<h2>Bottom Line</h2>
Investors like dividends for many reasons; they greatly improve stock investing profits, decrease overall portfolio risk, and carry tax advantages, among others. It&#39;s important to keep in mind that not all companies provide a quarterly payout.
High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, UTL is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of 3 (Hold).

Why Unitil Is A Great Dividend Stock Right Now

Stocks slid Monday after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that future interest rate cuts would depend on economic data during his appearance at the National Association of Business Economics. While Powell noted inflation is moving closer to the Fed&#8217;s 2% target and highlighted positive economic progress, his comments on data-driven rate decisions added uncertainty to the market just weeks after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41068393/inflation-decline-strengthens-confidence-in-feds-interest-rate-cut-if-you-were-second-guessing-the-f">a recent rate cut.</a>
What Happened: Powell appeared at the National Association of Business Economics (NABE) in Nashville, Tennessee, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41085958/fed-chair-jerome-powell-set-to-speak-as-economists-raise-concerns-over-risks-arising-from-potential">he gave prepared remarks</a> and took part in a fireside conversation sharing details on the recent interest rate cut, inflation, the housing market and what's next for the Fed in November.
"Our economy is strong overall and has made progress," Powell said.
Powell said "inflation has eased" and "labor market conditions are solid."
The Fed Chairman said inflation is on a sustainable path back to 2%, and the recent 50-basis point rate cut shows growing confidence in the goal.
"Our focus was on bringing down inflation."
Powell said the Fed's patient approach to rate cuts "has paid dividends."
Speaking on the labor market, Powell said the strength of the labor market "can be maintained" and that unemployment rates are well within estimates.
"Over the past year, we have continued to see solid growth and healthy gains in the labor force and in productivity."
Powell said one of the Fed's main goals is not to have higher unemployment, as they bring inflation down.
"We have made a good deal of progress."

What's Next: Powell said the Federal Reserve is not on a pre-set course to decide on further rate cuts at the November meeting.
"Overall, the economy is in solid shape. We intend to use our tools to keep it there," Powell said.
The Fed Chairman said decisions will be made on a meeting-by-meeting basis.
Powell said the goal is to see income and savings rates go up after it appears that consumers are spending more than their income.
For future interest rate cuts, Powell said the process will play out over time and does not need to happen fast.
"Will depend on the data."
Powell said the rate cuts can happen slower or faster depending on how the economy moves.
Ahead of the November meeting there will be several key pieces of data, which include reports on inflation and unemployment. Powell said the Fed will "take everything into account."
"Looking forward, if the economy evolves broadly as expected, policy will move over time toward a more neutral stance."
Market Reaction: The stock market dripped slightly, following Powell's comments. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, was trading around $571.12 at the time Powell began talking and is trading at $570.50 at the time of publication.
The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) trades at $485.03 at the time of writing, down 0.35% on the day.
The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) is down 0.44% to $421.08 at the time of publication Monday.

Powell Says Future Interest Rate Cuts Hinge On Data, Stocks Slip: 'Economy Is In Solid Shape, We Intend To Use Our Tools To Keep It There'

The whistleblower emphasized the importance of designing systems that resist state interference, praising Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and other cryptocurrencies for their approach. He argued, &#8220;You have to design your app so that there will never be a head that the state can point a gun at, or they will do it."
Snowden expressed concern about the increasing attempts by governments to control digital communication, mentioning the European Union's chat control proposal. He warned, &#8220;They're laying the procedural framework for the global control the voices of every volume and that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s really about.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Addressing the crypto community, Snowden urged a focus on the core values of cryptocurrency, stating, "We need to talk about the ruling values of the system the crypto part of cryptocurrency that&#8217;s what makes it special." He cautioned against diluting these principles to appease institutional investors.
Snowden also touched on the potential dangers of emerging technologies, including AI and consumer electronics. He stressed the importance of decentralization and privacy in these areas.
Snowden called for a return to the foundational principles of cryptocurrency, stating, "We should defy bureaucracy, we should reject modernity. Embrace tradition and you&#8217;ll save the world."

Truist Securities raised the price target for Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORT#NASDAQ">CORT</a>) and cites continued momentum in Korlym sales more than a decade after launch amid increasing competition and says it &#8220;is impressive and difficult to ignore.&#8221;
Korlym (mifepristone) is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) caused by high cortisol levels in the blood (hypercortisolism) in adults with endogenous Cushing syndrome who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance and who cannot have surgery or for whom surgery has failed.&nbsp;
Cushing syndrome is&nbsp;a hormonal disorder that occurs when the body has too much cortisol, a hormone that helps the body respond to stress.&nbsp;
Truist analyst notes approximately 20K Cushing&#8217;s disease (pituitary adenoma) patients in the U.S., of which ~10K are adequately managed with surgical resection of the pituitary adenoma.
Medical management is recommended for the remaining 10K. Therefore, there&#8217;s still significant room for growth, with just ~2,000 hypercortisolism patients currently on Korlym.
In June, Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) reportedly sued Corcept Therapeutics, accusing it of a monopoly on Korlym.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco, alleges that Corcept and its sole distributor, Optime Care, engaged in anti-competitive practices <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/06/39339275/concerpt-therapeutics-shares-are-trading-lower-what-you-need-to-know" rel="noreferrer noopener">to stifle competition</a>.
In May,&nbsp;Corcept Therapeutics announced that the GRACE Phase 3 trial of&nbsp;relacorilant&nbsp;in patients with hypercortisolism (Cushing&#8217;s syndrome)&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/39039282/why-mid-cap-corcept-therapeutics-stock-trading-higher-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">met its primary endpoint</a>.
The company is conducting a Phase 3 GRADIENT trial for relacorilant with enrolled adrenal adenoma patients to strengthen the case for treating patients whose hypercortisolism was driven by adrenal adenoma.
Data from GRACE and GRADIENT studies will form a part of the FDA application submission. The analyst says, &#8220;GRADIENT is well-powered for success.&#8221;
Truist notes that Corcept Therapeutics can achieve around $3 billion in total revenue within five years.
The analyst highlights that management emphasized that once relacorilant is approved, almost all existing patients on Korlym would be converted to relacorilant.
With increased market penetration of relacorilant in Cushing&#8217;s from 16% to 25% in 2033, Truist raised the price target from $65 to $76, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CORT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a Buy rating</a>.
Price Action: CORT stock is up 5.19% at $46.21 at the last check on Monday.
