Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>) shares traded higher Tuesday alongside other crypto-related stocks as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42673660/bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-dogecoin-surge-around-5-in-christmas-eve-santa-rally">climbed towards $100,000</a>.
The Details: Hut 8 is primarily focused on Bitcoin mining and stands to gain from a rise in Bitcoin, which is currently trading around $98,700, according to data from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/"> Benzinga Pro</a>.
It&#8217;s worth noting that Hut 8 was outpacing other Bitcoin mining stocks on Tuesday, including Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>), CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLSK#NASDAQ">CLSK</a>) and MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>). Riot closed the shortened trading day up about 8%, while MARA Holdings closed up about 5% and CleanSpark closed up about 4%.
Last week, Hut 8 announced the purchase of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42596774">approximately 990 Bitcoin</a> for about $100 million, equating to roughly $101,710 per coin. This latest purchase brings Hut 8&#8217;s total Bitcoin reserves up to 10,096 as of Dec. 18.
&#8220;A key component of our treasury strategy, the strategic Bitcoin reserve supports a flywheel effect that aligns our capital and operating strategies to accelerate value creation across the business,&#8221; said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut. 
&#8220;We believe deeply in our operating business and that building a strategic Bitcoin reserve will fortify our financial position as we pursue large-scale growth initiatives across power and digital infrastructure. Additionally, as we scale operations and extend our cost advantage in Bitcoin production, we anticipate that the flywheel effect will enable us to grow our holdings organically at a significant discount to market prices, strengthening the yield of our reserve strategy.&#8221;

What's Going On With Hut 8 Shares Tuesday?

In the current market session, Flex Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLEX#NASDAQ">FLEX</a>) share price is at $39.15, after a 1.22% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.93%, but in the past year, went up by 76.12%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735066809_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Flex 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 146.16 in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components industry, Flex Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 18.6. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735066810_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rallied to new all-time highs above $100,000 earlier this month before pulling back. The question remains: Is the world&#8217;s largest crypto done running for a while or will the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42673660/bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-dogecoin-surge-around-5-in-christmas-eve-santa-rally">party resume this holiday season</a>?
What To Know: Bitcoin climbed to an all-time high above $108,000 last week as investors continued to bid up prices in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s election victory. 
Trump has taken a favorable stance on crypto regulation and has even floated the idea of creating a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42505162/trump-reportedly-considering-executive-order-to-establish-strategic-bitcoin-reserve">Strategic Bitcoin Reserve</a>. Optimism about a crypto-friendly administration grew after Trump's election win, as the president-elect selected several lawmakers with pro-crypto leanings for key cabinet positions ahead of his return to the White House.
Bitcoin was up approximately 5.57% over a 24-hour period, trading around $98,540 at the time of writing, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Bitcoin is up more than 50% over the past three months and has risen more than 135% since the start of the year.

Benzinga recently asked readers if they thought Bitcoin would cross back above the highly-watched $100,000 level by Christmas Day. Here&#8217;s a look at the results:
<ul>
<li>Yes, I expect a rally: 56%</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>No, I don&#8217;t think so: 44%</li>
</ul>
A majority of readers expect Bitcoin to take part in the Santa Claus rally this year. The final five trading days of the year and the first two trading days of the following year are historically strong for risk assets. The Santa Claus rally period officially kicked off on Tuesday.
The S&amp;P 500 Index has gained 1.3% on average during the Santa Claus rally period since 1950, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2024/12/24/santa-claus-market-rally-period-begins-what-to-know-as-wall-street-looks-to-close-another-strong-year/">Forbes</a>. A recent market study reported by<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-santa-rally-hopes-dashed-hits-lowest-december-price"> CoinTelegraph</a> showed that crypto assets participate in the holiday rally about 80% of the time. Historically, total crypto market capitalization has gained between 0.7% and 11.8% during the holiday period.
Despite the 5% jump on Tuesday, Bitcoin is still down more than 8% over the past week. Bitcoin has not traded above the $100,000 level since Dec. 19. 
Beyond the short-term holiday season price fluctuations, longer-term price predictions vary greatly, with some of the most bullish supporters, like Michael Saylor, predicting Bitcoin will hit $13 million per coin. At the same time, opponents like Peter Schiff expect the crypto to eventually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/02/30961211/bitcoin-will-go-to-0-but-the-ride-is-not-going-to-be-a-straight-line-peter-schiff-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">become worthless</a>.

Brera Holdings PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BREA#NASDAQ">BREA</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday after the company disclosed the details of a three-step acquisition process for a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42672991/brera-holdings-outlines-three-step-process-to-acquire-majority-equity-interest-in-juve-stabia-inte" rel="noreferrer noopener">majority equity ownership interest</a> in Italian Serie B football club SS Juve Stabia SpA.
This acquisition is a key step in expanding Brera&#8217;s multi-club ownership (MCO) model, aiming to drive operational synergies and long-term growth.
Notably, on December 9, 2024, Brera disclosed the signing of a binding term sheet for its acquisition of Juve Stabia, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42385291/brera-holdings-agrees-to-strategic-investment-in-italian-serie-b-professional-football-soccer-club" rel="noreferrer noopener">a historic Serie B football club in Naples</a>.
Brera has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Juve Stabia through a three-step process involving share capital and reserve increases.
Brera will make cash payments and issue BREA shares, gradually increasing its ownership to 22%, 38%, and approximately 52%.
Upon completion, Brera will become the majority shareholder, and a Shareholder Agreement with current owner Andrea Langella will integrate Juve Stabia into Brera&#8217;s multi-club framework.
The first step, giving Brera 22% ownership, is expected to conclude by December 31, 2024.
The agreement includes performance-based compensation for Mr. Langella, tied to milestones like qualifying for Serie B playoffs and promotion to Serie A, aligning Brera&#8217;s interests with Juve Stabia&#8217;s success.
The final step, granting Brera 52% ownership, is scheduled for March 31, 2025, at which point Brera will take controlling ownership and begin integrating the club, with plans for an IFRS audit under PCAOB guidelines for SEC disclosure filings.
Notably, Juve Stabia recently secured a 1-0 victory over Cesena FC and currently ranks fourth in the Serie B standings, just two points ahead of fifth-placed US Cremonese.
The top three Serie B teams earn promotion to Serie A, with the top two qualifying automatically and the third via a playoff.
Daniel McClory, Executive Chairman of Brera Holdings, said, &#8220;We are excited to partner with local management and invest in this historic team to capitalize on player trading opportunities, potentially secure a position in the Serie B playoffs, and ultimately pursue promotion to Serie A, all of which would augment Club revenue and unlock further value for our investors.&#8221;
Price Action: BREA shares closed higher by 42.80% to $1.00 on Tuesday

BYD Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), the Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) giant, has reportedly expanded its global footprint by entering the Ethiopian market.
On December 21, the company partnered with Ethiopian distributor Moenco, a subsidiary of the Inchcape Group, to launch its brand in the East African country, CnEV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/12/24/byd-enters-ethiopia/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The brand unveiling, held in Addis Ababa, introduced five of BYD&#8217;s battery electric vehicle (BEV) models, including the compact Seagull hatchback and the Tang SUV, marking a significant step in BYD&#8217;s efforts to expand its presence in Africa.
This move comes on the heels of BYD&#8217;s recent entry into<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42485764/tesla-rival-byd-enters-omani-market-launches-five-ev-models-as-part-of-gulf-expansion-report" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the Omani automotive market</a>. Earlier this month, the company celebrated a brand launch in Muscat, where it also opened three local stores.
In Oman, BYD introduced five models, including the Han, Yuan Plus, Seal, Song Plus DM-i, and Qin Plus DM-i, all aligning with the country&#8217;s push for sustainable development under Vision 2040.
However, BYD&#8217;s international expansion has not been without challenges. Brazilian authorities recently halted the construction of a BYD plant in Salvador, Bahia, after rescuing 163 workers living <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42667814/brazil-authorities-halt-work-at-byd-factory-site-after-workers-found-in-slavery-like-conditions" rel="noreferrer noopener">in what they described as &#8220;slavery-like&#8221; conditions.</a>
Authorities shut down the workers&#8217; lodgings and issued a statement in cooperation with BYD and construction contractor Jinjiang Construction Brazil Ltd. While BYD continues to promote green mobility, this setback highlights the ongoing challenges the company faces in its global growth strategy.

On Monday, Netflix&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)&nbsp;prosecuted Broadcom Inc. &#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/07/39692197/broadcom-issues-5b-in-debt-to-fund-vmware-acquisition" rel="noreferrer noopener">cloud computing subsidiary</a> VMware in a California court for allegedly infringing its patent rights.
Netflix accused VMware of violating five patent rights in &#8220;virtual machines&#8221; that run another computer&#8217;s operating software on a host computer, according to the Reuters report.
Broadcom&#8217;s U.S. lawsuit against Netflix will likely go to trial in June 2025.
Netflix sought monetary damages. Broadcom held $9.35 billion in cash and equivalents as of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42472193/broadcom-inc-announces-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2024-financial-results-and-quarterly-dividen" rel="noreferrer noopener">November 3, 2024</a>.

This is not the first case between the two companies &#8211; Broadcom filed a patent dispute case against Netflix in 2018 for alleged infringement of Broadcom patents related to video streaming technology. In 2023, Broadcom&nbsp;snapped VMware&nbsp;for $69 billion.
Analyst opinions on Broadcom and Netflix: In September 2024, JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur lauded the VMware acquisition <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40750949/broadcom-analysts-lifts-ai-revenue-forecast-to-12b-on-potential-strong-demand-from-" rel="noreferrer noopener">for impressive synergies</a>, with a 25%+ sequential growth expectation in the fourth quarter. VMware helped infrastructure software revenue grow 41% in the third quarter, helping Broadcom&#8217;s revenue climb to $13.07 billion, topping consensus estimates.
Sur flagged VMware&#8217;s strong software renewal rates and upsell opportunities, with revenue potentially reaching $4.5-$5 billion per quarter by 2025.
Rosenblatt, B of A Securities, and JP Morgan <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42489281/broadcoms-ai-chip-leadership-puts-pressure-on-nvidia-and-marvell-analysts-say" rel="noreferrer noopener">raised their price targets</a> on Broadcom after its fourth-quarter report, citing its custom-chip (ASIC) AI and ability to maintain a relationship with Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).

KLA Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Kevin O'Leary, known for his straightforward attitude on Shark Tank, recently stated that you don't have to love Donald Trump to appreciate his policies. In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAEDN5TLnmY">appearance</a> on Fox Business, O'Leary praised the president-elect&#8217;s pro-business strategies, saying they are exactly what America needs to boost the economy and create jobs.
O'Leary is working on a massive project in Alberta, Canada – supposedly the world's largest AI data center. However, his attention is equally focused on the U.S., where he believes Trump's policies could fast-track similar ventures. Trump recently promised expedited permits for large infrastructure projects, something O'Leary says would be a game-changer.

<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>

</ul>
"If he can deliver that," O'Leary said, "it's going to bring capital back to the United States." He explained that permitting delays often scare off investors and stall big projects. By cutting red tape, Trump's plan could open the floodgates for investment, particularly in the energy and tech sectors, per O&#8217;Leary.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42486613/kevin-oleary-has-recently-noted-the-increasing-demand-for-data-centers-describing-them-as-a-notable-combination-of-real-estate-and-technology-with-considerable-potential">AI data center</a> he is building in Canada will rely on natural gas turbines for power, an interim solution until nuclear energy becomes more viable. He is also exploring similar projects in West Virginia and North Dakota but says U.S. permitting delays are a major hurdle.
According to O'Leary, Trump's promise to simplify the permitting process is exactly what is needed to turn these ideas into reality.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jobs and Economic Growth</h2>
O'Leary also believes that policies promoting infrastructure and energy projects will create significant jobs. "This is what we need," he said. "You can still hate Trump, but you've got to love his policies because that will bring jobs to these states."
O'Leary argues that these initiatives can breathe new life into local economies by cutting through bureaucracy and encouraging private investment. He is particularly optimistic about how such policies can attract capital, boost industries and ultimately create long-term stability.
Critics fear that cutting corners on permits could result in problems for the environment and public safety. Some contend that these rules prioritize corporations over regular citizens. O&#8217;Leary, however, is adamant and emphasizes the necessity of bold action to boost businesses and lessen supposed dependency on imported energy.

O'Leary is focused on outcomes. For him, it is not about politics – it is about what works. Whether AI data centers in Canada or energy projects in the U.S., he sees Trump's business-first approach as a blueprint for success.
In October, O'Leary also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41750727/kevin-oleary-supports-elon-musks-2-trillion-plan-to-slash-government-spending-with-trumps-backing-it">weighed in on Elon Musk's ambitious $2 trillion plan</a> to slash federal spending. Backed by Trump, Musk is proposed to lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Trump&#8217;s second term.

We need to find some savings," he said.
