Watching Loar Holdings, Sportradar Group; Shares Spike Higher Amid CNBC Mentions Of The Stocks Under Segment Titled "Small Cap Strategy In 2025"

Rosenblatt analyst Steve Frankel maintained a Buy rating on Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $811</a>.
The stock is currently featured among the best ideas for the first half of 2025, reflecting key themes across Rosenblatt&#8217;s research universe.
Meta is in the midst of an impressive and durable artificial intelligence-driven growth renaissance, he says.
Revenues rose 22% in the first nine months of 2024 after growing 16% in 2023 and dipping 1% in 2022.

The growth is principally advertising, which accounts for 98% of sales, and AI-driven. AI is driving up daily usage on Facebook and Instagram, bolstering reel traction and improving ad efficiency.
Meta uses AI to adjust ad loads better, improve action sequences tied to targeting and executing ads, and help advertisers create and manage campaigns, Rosenblatt explained.
Ad revenue rose 19% in the third quarter of 2024, only 300 bps slower than the 22% growth of the second quarter of 2024, despite an 11.5 percentage point stiffer comparison.
From here, comparisons are steadier, suggesting recent traction can continue.
Frankel estimates 19% revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, within the 12% to 20% guidance. We sustain that growth estimate into 2025.
With this revenue growth, Meta has room to absorb more investment.
The analyst assumes capex would increase 20% in 2025 to $46.6 billion, nearly flat as a percentage of sales. Hea also expects expense growth of 14% in 2025, accelerating from an 11% rise in 2024, and has adjusted EBITDA margins rising 110 bps to 62.6%.
Meta has nearly 3.3 billion people using its family of services daily. Its revenue growth affords more AI investment growth than others, a backdrop allowing AI-driven marketing services to improve more than others. With its business primarily performance marketing, a better marketing mousetrap supports share gains, the analyst says.
One risk is global trade volatility. Out-of-region revenue (mainly China and Asia marketers buying ads in the US) was 7% of Meta ad revenue in 2023 and dropped to 5% in the third quarter of 2024.
One could imagine a trade war generating disruption once President-elect Trump officially takes office. However, it is not clear that Trump wants that. He may be threatening tariffs to seek concessions. In a trade war, Chinese and Asian marketers like Temu and Shein could also react by sourcing more locally, supporting continued marketing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta And TikTok</h2>
TikTok could be a hedge.
If the Supreme Court allows the law requiring a TikTok sale or ban to stand, then TikTok&#8217;s fate would rest in Trump&#8217;s hands, and he would have the ability to interpret and enforce legislation or push for new legislation.
His recent statements of support for TikTok suggest that he believes trade concessions from China could be won in return for keeping the app.
Alternatively, a whole-out trade war could result in Trump allowing a TikTok ban to come into effect.
Price Action: META stock is up 2.55% at $600.15 at last check Monday.

Check-Cap Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 223.7%

Looking into the current session, LendingClub Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LC#NYSE">LC</a>) shares are trading at $16.15, after a 1.88% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.16%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 81.26%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734982208_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing LendingClub P/E Against 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. 
LendingClub has a better P/E ratio of 35.78 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 34.53 of the Consumer Finance industry. Ideally, one might believe that LendingClub 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/2024/1734982208_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.

Altus Power Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 13.5%

TPG Is In Talks To Acquire Altus Power

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) started the year with an impressive All-Time High (ATH) of greater than $77,000 in March after the approval of Bitcoin ETFs by the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, BTC has a penchant for exceeding expectations. It shattered the high from earlier in the year on December 3 when it finally crossed the $100,000 mark and reached over $103,5000. Two weeks later, Bitcoin exceeded $107,000 and now sits at just over $92,000.
There are many reasons for Bitcoin's growth and the burgeoning mainstream acceptance of the coin. Consistent global inflation and low interest rates have encouraged institutional and retail investors to look to BTC as a hedge against inflation. The re-election of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald J. Trump</a> and the announced resignation of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gary-gensler">Gary Gensler </a>as chairman of the SEC have also helped foster optimistic sentiments among investors.
Trump nominated Paul Atkins as Gensler's successor and Atkins has a reputation of supporting cryptocurrencies and creating a more open regulatory environment for digital assets stemming from his tenure as SEC Commissioner between 2002 and 2008.

In November, we spoke with investor and Bitcoin supporter, Tim Draper, who called for <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/following-microstrategy-5-4-billion-btc-buy-draper-says-his-120k-2024-prediction-could-be-underestimating">$120,000 BTC in 2024.</a> Judging by MicroStrategy's $5.4 billion BTC buy, Draper later said the estimate may be too low.
What do other experts in digital assets have to say about the trajectory of the world's most famous cryptocurrency in the waning days of 2024? And where do they see BTC going in 2025?
We spoke with Grant Cardone of Cardone Capital, Caitlin Long of Custodia Bank, Anthony Scaramucci of Skybridge Capital, Sandeep Nailwal of Polygon and Dean Skurka of WonderFi to get their unique perspectives on the future of BTC.
Grant Cardone, Fund Manager / CEO Cardone Capital, CEO of Cardone Training Technologies, Inc.
Cardone, entrepreneur, real estate mogul and motivational speaker, has taken an avid interest in crypto and recently <a href="https://x.com/grantcardone/status/1865983955767357580?s=42">announced the launch</a> of Cardone Capital Space Coast Bitcoin Fund (Fund 26). In a tweet on X, Cardone said: "Commitments for ~100% of $87.5M fund. Targeting 30% annual returns &amp; 100% return of all capital at 48 months."
When asked in interview about the future of Bitcoin, Cardone said "It is still early in fact because of the amount of adoption by governments, corporations, state treasuries &amp; private business owners; we are still very early."
Cardone added the number of ways it's possible to gain exposure to Bitcoin as another cause for confidence.
"You can gain exposure to Bitcoin by buying it directly, through ETF investments, stocks of companies like MicroStrategy and now in real estate vehicles like we've created at CardoneCapital that uses cash flow to dollar cost average purchase the Bitcoin and spike traditional stable real estate returns."
Caitlin Long, Founder &amp; CEO, Custodia Bank
Long is a vocal advocate of Bitcoin and has been an open critic of Gensler's tenure at the head of the SEC. Custodia Bank faced resistance from federal regulators, and in 2023, the Federal Reserve Board rejected it, citing concerns over the risks in digital assets.
Custodia offers segregated custody accounts for Bitcoin and Long is a true believer in the fundamentals behind BTC. In an interview, she expressed her optimism for BTC.
"I don&#8217;t make price predictions, but for fundamental reasons tied to halvings, Bitcoin has pronounced 4-year cycles – 210,000 blocks at 10-minute average block intervals, to be precise. If the past is prologue, 2025 will be a bull market year. Generally, more ‘up and to the right' movements should be on tap!"
Anthony Scaramucci, Founder &amp; CEO of SkyBridge Capital
Scaramucci is a strong supporter of cryptocurrencies and uses his platform to educate traditional investors on BTC's potential. SkyBridge offers crypto funds including the SkyBridge Bitcoin Fund.
He recently published his latest book, "The Little Book of Bitcoin: What You Need to Know that Wall Street Has Already Figured Out."
Asked where he expects BTC to land by the end of 2024, Scaramucci said, "I see us finishing the year around the $100,000 level. We need to digest this big post-election move and see more concrete plans from the Trump regime on new regulatory frameworks."
Scaramucci's prognostications for 2025 were even more bullish, similar to Tim Draper's predictions.
"I see Bitcoin doubling in 2025 to $200,000. Don&#8217;t underestimate Sen. Cynthia Lummis&#8217; determination to build a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which would likely cause a cascading effect with other nation-states and corporations." 
Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder Of Polygon
Nailwal is a visionary in the blockchain industry, not only for helping to found the Layer 2 blockchain network, Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) to add speed and reduce costs while using the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), but also for his work shaping the Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ecosystem, creating tools to make blockchain development easier as well as for his work developing ZK-rollups, sidechain technology and modular frameworks for greater scalability.
Nailwal stands with most leaders in the blockchain space – a stronger BTC is a net win for all parts of Web3.
&#8220;Bitcoin's success is a win for everyone in crypto. It builds trust, brings in more people, and shows the world what decentralized tech can do.
As more users and institutions embrace Bitcoin, it creates a gateway for them to explore the broader blockchain space. That isn't just about Bitcoin thriving – it's about unlocking new ideas, driving innovation, and helping the entire ecosystem grow stronger together.&#8221;
Dean Skurka, President And CEO WonderFi
Skura's work has focused on compliance and accessibility in cryptocurrency, ultimately seeking to bring traditional finance and digital finance closer together.
Skura is optimistic that the changing regulatory landscape in the US will be good news for BTC.
"With the incoming administration in the US, discussions of a National Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, and continued institutional inflows into US Spot Bitcoin ETFs, we expect Bitcoin to continue to gain mainstream adoption, which will only further improve the long-term prospects for Bitcoin. The industry's prospects have never looked brighter, and we look forward to many more milestones in 2025."

Gold Moves Lower, Rumble Shares Jump

Rosenblatt polled its analysts, including Steve Frankel, gathering their top picks for the first half of 2025. The stocks reflect key themes across its research universe, including the Age of Artificial Intelligence and the build-out of next-generation broadband.
Steve Frankel maintained a Buy rating on Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) with a price target of $250.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42621868/nvidia-secures-eu-approval-for-runai-deal-us-probes-china-export-breach" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nvidia Secures EU Approval For Run:ai Deal, US Probes China Export Breach</a>
AMD is one of Rosenblatt&#8217;s top picks for the first half of 2025 on momentum in CPU and GPU share gains into 2025 and a broader non-AI recovery exiting 2025.
The difference entering 2025 is that the Street acknowledges this dynamic, which has legs for double-digit market share in GPU compute and AI inference at the edge, being a secular opportunity on Xilinx incumbency and chiplet prowess.
AMD&#8217;s EPYC processors will likely continue increasing the company&#8217;s revenue share in server and Data Center CPUs as the business proposition is significant, the analyst said.
AMD&#8217;s MI350 in 2025 and MI400 in 2026 GPUs will drive additional revenues and increased market share on hyperscale adoption, chiplet scale, and AI moving to the edge, he added.
The price target reflects a 25-times P/E multiple to Frankel&#8217;s $10.00 fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS. This multiple is in line with the analyst&#8217;s AI compute group average of 25 times.
Frankel reiterated a Buy rating on Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) with a price target of $250.

Micron is one of Rosenblatt&#8217;s top picks for the first half of 2025, as he liked the big opportunity for DRAM content deployment in AI platforms going forward.
In particular, the analyst liked Micron&#8217;s HBM opportunity, where the trade ratios are 3-to-1 to DDR5 and moving to 4-to-1 with the move to HBM4, a structural shift Frankel did not witness in any other memory cycle.
Industry HBM supply continues to be an issue to watch as supply does not catch up to demand well into calendar 2025.
For Micron, Frankel&#8217;s viewpoint on HBM is more related to the overall implications of DRAM bit supply, with HBM3E garnering a 3-to-1 trade ratio and HBM4 a 4-to-1 trade ratio, creating a favorable supply and demand dynamic.
Frankel noted Micron as an HBM share gainer in HBM3E and HBM4 varietals and as the segment moves from 8-Hi to 12-Hi and 16-Hi configurations, where power efficiency (a Micron structural advantage) becomes increasingly important.
Frankel found using P/E to value Micron reasonable, given its proven consistent profitability through cross-memory cycles, aggressive share buybacks, and a cycle driven by AI workload dynamics correlating to DRAM content. The price target reflects a mid-teens P/E multiple on the analyst&#8217;s $18 fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS.
Price Actions: At last check on Monday, AMD stock was up 4.70% at $124.82. MU is down 0.78%.
