e.l.f. Beauty's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

<p><strong>Hesai Group</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSAI#NASDAQ">HSAI</a>) stock is under pressure Tuesday after short seller <strong>Blue Orca Capital</strong> targeted the company in a new report alleging Hesai Group is actively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HSAI">lying to investors</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> Blue Orca Capital released a short report on Tuesday, calling Hesai group a &#8220;Chinese scam.&#8221; The short seller believes the company is lying by insisting it has no involvement with the Chinese military. Blue Orca also raised concerns around the company&#8217;s financial disclosures.</p>
<p>&#8220;In short, we think Hesai is full of lies, from its suspect financials to its denials made to the government and in court regarding its LiDAR and the Chinese military. In our opinion, it is completely untrustworthy as a business and uninvestable as a stock,&#8221; the short seller said.</p>
<p>Benzinga has reached out to Hesai Group for comment on the report. </p>
<p>Blue Orca alleged that Hesai has lied to investors and U.S. authorities about the use of its lidar technology for military purposes. The short seller provided images that it uncovered from Chinese government owned CCTV that appears to show a Chinese military vehicle equipped with a Hesai lidar system. </p>
<p>The Department of Defense (DOD) placed Hesai Group on a list of companies designated as &#8220;Chinese military companies&#8221; in January 2024. Hesai sued the DOD in an attempt to be removed from the list. The short seller believes Hesai will lose the case and in turn become effectively blocked from any lucrative deals in the U.S. autonomous vehicles market.</p>
<p>&#8220;As such, we believe that Hesai will soon lose a customer cohort which historically accounted for 40% of its revenues and an estimated 57% of its gross profit,&#8221; the short seller said.</p>
<p><strong>Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/03/44379231/warren-buffett-2025-march-madness-challenge-winner-no-longer-has-to-be-perfect-i-want-to-give-away-a-million-dollars">Warren Buffett 2025 March Madness Challenge Winner No Longer Has To Be Perfect: &#8216;I Want To Give Away A Million Dollars&#8217;</a></strong></p>
<p>Blue Orca also noted that Hesai Group shares surged late last year after the company reported that it became profitable. The short seller believes the profitability was a result of a $20 million break-up fee from its largest customer that was undisclosed to investors. Blue Orca also indicated that the company appears to be laying off up to 30% of its workforce. </p>
<p>Hesai Group shares surged again last week after the company secured a multi-year deal with&nbsp;<strong>Mercedes-Benz</strong>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44237694/hesai-selected-by-top-european-oem-for-exclusive-multi-year-lidar-contract-on-its-next-generation-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">supply lidar sensors</a>, closing the day up more than 50%. The short seller poked holes in the notion that the deal is &#8220;exclusive.&#8221; Blue Orca is also skeptical given that Mercedes was unwilling to publicly confirm the deal. The short seller noted that Hesai Group founders sold $68.6 million of stock following the spike.</p>
<p>Blue Orca went on to raise concerns about inconsistent purchasing volumes with reported sales, &#8220;inexplicable&#8221; margin expansion and the withdrawal of the company&#8217;s IPO in China. </p>
<p>&#8220;Ultimately, we do not think that U.S. authorities will permit a Chinese military company whose products are equipped on Chinese military vehicles to take advantage of the privilege of American capital markets,&#8221; the short seller said.</p>
<p><strong>HSAI Price Action:</strong> Hesai Group shares are up nearly 300% over the past year. The stock was down 8.5% at $20.39 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>

Short Seller Says Hesai Group Stock Is A 'Chinese Scam'

<p>The Trump administration granted <strong>Nippon Steel </strong>and <strong>United States Steel Corporation</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) a 21-day extension in their lawsuit over the proposed merger, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43576917/trump-says-reconsiders-nippon-steels-149-billion-us-steel-deal-theyve-agreed-to-invest-heavilyas-opposed-to-own-it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">allowing further negotiations with regulators.</a></p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/nippon-steel-u-s-steel-lawsuit-gets-extension-to-continue-government-negotiations-3638d994" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>that the <strong>Department of Justice</strong> pushed back the litigation briefing deadlines, citing a motion filed on Friday. </p>
<p>Additionally, the oral argument, initially set for April 24, has been rescheduled to May 12.</p>
<p>The move indicates that President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> may approve the deal, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/17/business/us-steel-nippon-trump-cfius/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports </a>CNN.</p>
<p>Former President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42787508/biden-blocks-14-9b-us-steel-takeover-shares-plunge">blocked it</a>, citing national security and domestic supply chain concerns.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: Last month, Trump contemplated approving Nippon Steel&#8217;s $14.1<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/02/43574248/trump-hints-at-rekindling-nippon-steels-14-billion-acquisition-of-united-steel-in-talks-with-japanese-pm-ishiba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> billion bid</a> for U.S. Steel as an investment rather than a purchase. The remarks were made in the presence of Japanese Prime Minister <strong>Shigeru Ishiba</strong> at the Oval Office.</p>
<p>The latest extension aims to facilitate continued discussions between the companies and the government in an attempt to resolve the situation without proceeding to a full legal resolution.</p>
<p>In December 2023, Nippon Steel agreed to purchase U.S. Steel, but ended up in a legal dispute with the Biden administration last year over the stalled acquisition.</p>
<p>In early January, CEO&nbsp;<strong>Eiji Hashimoto</strong>&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42870745/nippon-steel-ceo-slams-tariffs-defends-15-billion-us-steel-merger-amid-national-security-concerns-we-never-think-that-industry-can-become-stronger-through-tariffs-alone" rel="noreferrer noopener">dismissed tariffs as an inadequate solution</a>&nbsp;for bolstering the U.S. steel industry. He defended the merger, asserting that it would strengthen national security by creating a more resilient and competitive company.</p>
<p>In response, Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel filed a lawsuit in January, claiming the decision was influenced by President Biden&#8217;s desire to gain favor with the United Steelworkers union in Pennsylvania.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is JAGX A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
<p>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/JAGX">Jaguar Health</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.</p>
<p>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/JAGX">Jaguar Health</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.</p>
