Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bch/usd">BCH</a>), a peer-to-peer digital currency designed to offer faster and cheaper transactions compared to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), has surged 40.7% to $520.08 over the past month, buoyed by historic levels of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42165734/bitcoin-etfs-registered-record-312-billion-net-inflows-last-week">institutional investment</a> in cryptocurrency as Bitcoin nears the $100,000 level.
What To Know: According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products saw a record-breaking $3.13 billion in net inflows last week, driven primarily by Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which alone accounted for $3.12 billion. Year-to-date inflows now stand at $37 billion, signaling growing confidence in cryptocurrencies as a mainstream asset class.
While Bitcoin dominated these inflows with $3 billion, altcoins like Bitcoin Cash have seen renewed interest. BCH, which emerged from a 2017 Bitcoin hard fork, aims to enhance transaction speed and scalability. It benefits from its association with Bitcoin while providing utility as a decentralized payment network, gaining traction as blockchain adoption grows.
Meanwhile, short-Bitcoin products saw $10 million in inflows, reflecting mixed market sentiment as Bitcoin prices hover near all-time highs.
As institutional investments flood the space, Bitcoin Cash has capitalized on broader market enthusiasm, positioning itself as one of the favored altcoins in the digital currency ecosystem.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) reportedly plans to enter the mobile device market with new accelerated processing unit (APU) chips <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/amd">designed for smartphones. </a>

The new APU chips are rumored to target flagship smartphones, potentially being used in models from Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>).

AMD previously collaborated with Samsung on the Exynos 2200 processor, which featured a GPU based on AMD&#8217;s RDNA 2 architecture. However, this earlier partnership focused on graphic enhancements rather than central processor development.
AMD&#8217;s current MI300 series processors, known for their application in AI servers, could lay the groundwork for these upcoming mobile APUs. Industry insiders suggest that Samsung integrate these APUs into its premium devices, which rely heavily on Taiwan Semiconductor-manufactured components, such as Qualcomm Inc processors in the Galaxy S series.
According to Taiwan Semiconductor, its 3nm technology, including N3, N3E, and N3P nodes, has drawn significant interest from major clients like AMD, Apple Inc, and MediaTek. The demand for these advanced chips is so high that Taiwan Semiconductor has tripled its production capacity compared to last year. However, it still needs to work on meeting the overwhelming number of orders.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s ongoing development of its 3nm family will further address emerging needs in AI, mobile devices, and automotive computing.
AMD posted third-quarter revenue of $6.8 billion, surpassing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41612007/amd-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-data-center-up-122-significant-growth-opportunities-ahead-" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst expectations of $6.71 billion</a>. Revenue grew 18%, driven by a 122% increase in Data Center revenue, which reached $3.5 billion. Client segment revenue rose 29% to $1.9 billion. However, Gaming revenue dropped 69% to $462 million, while Embedded revenue decreased 25% to $927 million.
For the fourth quarter, AMD projects revenue of $7.5 billion, plus or minus $300 million, reflecting 22% growth at the midpoint.
Goldman Sachs analyst&nbsp;Toshiya Hari <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41431993/amd-to-benefit-from-ai-competitive-arms-race-goldman-sachs" rel="noreferrer noopener">credited AMD&#8217;s growth</a> to increasing capital investment in AI infrastructure, driven by enterprises in an &#8220;AI arms race.&#8221; AMD&#8217;s robust product pipeline, including competitive GPUs and the integration of ZT Systems, positions the company for accelerated growth.
Rebounding demand for server CPUs and market share gains in enterprise-targeted SKUs will likely boost revenue and margins.
Price Actions: AMD stock is up 2.4% at $141.75 at the last check on Monday. TSM is down 2.6%.

Following a strong second-quarter performance, Nordstrom Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) will deliver insights into its third-quarter results Tuesday after-hours. In the second quarter, the company outperformed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40588492/nordstrom-stock-rallies-on-strong-q2-earnings-details">earnings expectations with EPS of $0.96</a>, a 35.21% beat over the consensus estimate of $0.71, driven by strategic pricing and operational efficiencies. 
What Happened: Although quarterly sales of $3.894 billion narrowly missed estimates, they represented a 3.23% year-over-year increase, with digital sales up 6.2% and notable growth in Nordstrom Rack's net sales (+8.8%).
The second quarter gross profit margin of 36.6%—a 155 basis point improvement—showcased Nordstrom's focus on full-price sales and leveraging higher volumes. However, the 8.3% increase in ending inventory relative to sales growth warrants attention as the company balances stock management in a dynamic retail landscape.

For the third quarter, analysts will likely focus on Nordstrom's ability to sustain growth across both banners, particularly Nordstrom Rack, which demonstrated robust performance in the second quarter. 
Comparable sales, which increased 1.9% in the prior quarter, could signal continued consumer resilience amid economic pressures. Margins and inventory levels will remain key indicators of operational efficiency.
Nordstrom's FY guidance of $1.75–$2.05 per share suggests confidence in its growth trajectory. With strategic momentum and a focus on profitability, third quarter results will be a critical checkpoint as the company progresses toward its 2024 objectives.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is JWN 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/JWN">Nordstrom</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.
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/JWN">Nordstrom</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 <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, JWN has a 52-week high of $24.93 and a 52-week low of $14.65.

Walmart&#8217;s CFO, John David Rainey, recently said that if President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs take effect, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42085839/us-retail-giant-walmarts-growth-is-fueled-by-75-of-its-customers-earning-in-six-figures-ceo-doug-mcmillon-explains">Walmart</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) will need to raise prices on certain items.
Speaking with CNBC, Rainey explained, "We never want to raise prices. Our model is everyday low prices. But there probably will be cases where prices will go up for consumers."&nbsp;

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
These proposed tariffs include a 10-20% tax on all imports and could go as high as 60-100% on products from China. Retailers like Walmart, AutoZone, Lowe's and others are already speaking out about how these potential changes could make everyday goods more expensive for customers.
The majority of goods Walmart sells are not at risk of tariffs, as about two-thirds of the items sold by Walmart are made, grown or assembled in the U.S. However, tariffs may have a major effect on the remaining one-third of imported goods. In recent years, Walmart has been expanding its supply chain by sourcing from other countries to lessen its reliance on China.
Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison also expressed concern, saying they're talking to suppliers to understand how the tariffs might affect prices.

Other companies are also taking measures to deal with the tariffs. AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) CEO Philip Daniele, for example, has recently stated that if tariffs are imposed, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42027079/we-will-pass-those-tariff-costs-back-to-the-consumer-says-ceo-of-autozone-heres-a-look-at-other-companies-raising-prices">they will pass those costs onto the consumers</a>. Because AutoZone anticipates the impact on their margins, they even plan to hike prices before the tariffs go into effect. Similarly, Steve Madden intends to shift some of its production to Vietnam, Cambodia and Mexico to lessen its dependency on Chinese production, though price increases are still possible.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41599361/stanley-black-decker-q3-earnings-revenue-misses-cost-savings-drive-margin-gains-narrows-2024-eps-gu">Columbia Sportswear</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>) has also raised concerns, with CEO Tim Boyle mentioning that the company may also have to raise prices. The National Retail Federation also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">predicted price rises for commonplace goods</a> like apparel, shoes and furniture, warning that these tariffs essentially tax the American people. They anticipate that a $100 coat may increase by up to $21, while a $90 pair of sneakers might cost between $106 and $116.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/10/41451898/what-analysts-are-saying-about-dollar-tree-stock">Dollar Tree</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), which imports many of its products from China, may have to rethink its fixed-price-point model of $1.25 per item if tariffs push costs too high. This could jeopardize the retailer&#8217;s value-focused business strategy by forcing it to either absorb the additional expense or pass it on to customers.

Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVA#NASDAQ">SAVA</a>) stock is falling Monday after the company shared an update on its Phase 3 trial for a treatment for Alzheimer's disease that has been widely followed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41007173/cassava-sciences-stock-rises-on-interim-safety-review-of-simufilam-phase-3-trials"> by the market</a>.
Martin Shkreli, a well-know figure in the pharmaceutical space, predicted the stock&#8217;s crash Sunday night.
What Happened: Cassava Sciences reported that its Phase 3 topline results for the ReThink-ALZ study on Simufilam did not meet primary endpoints, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42164927/cassava-sciences-controversial-alzheimers-drug-fails-to-hit-primary-goal-in-pivotal-study-halts-late-stage-studies">sending shares significantly lower </a>to start the trading week.
The company said it intends to present the data at an upcoming meeting, and Simufilam showed a favorable safety profile.
"Simufilam did not show a significant reduction in cognitive or functional decline versus placebo in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease," the company said.
Cassava Sciences CEO Rick Barry called the results "disappointing for patients and their families."
Benzinga reached out to Cassava for comment.
Shkreli, a former hedge fund manager, predicted Monday's sharp shared decline.
"If you have $ on robinhood or interactive, short SAVA now," Shkreli <a href="https://x.com/MartinShkreli/status/1860886801617125798">tweeted </a>at 10:22 p.m. ET Sunday night.
The tweet signaled a belief that Cassava Sciences stock was set to fall. Robinhood and Interactive Brokers are among the brokers who offer 24-hour trading on select stocks, which is why they were named by Shkreli.
Shkreli was asked by several people on X if his tweet was financial advice, to which he replied yes. Shkreli also told people that waiting until Monday's opening bell at 9:30 a.m. ET would be too late to short the stock.
Cassava Sciences shares were halted at 7:25 a.m. ET with the company's update coming at 7:30 a.m. ET and shares resuming for trading at 7:55 a.m. ET.
Shares quickly fell Monday morning by over 80% after the company's update.
The post by Shkreli shouldn't come as a huge surprise since a Nov. 21 thread about a 38-page paper on Cassava by the former hedge fund manager is his pinned <a href="https://x.com/MartinShkreli/status/1859681514415607930">tweet</a>.
"I don't &#x2A;think&#x2A; it doesn't work. It is impossible for it to work," the thread says.
Shkreli said Alzheimer's Disease is a very tough market to target to begin with as 98% of the last Phase 3 trials for the disease have failed. Cassava's Phase 3 treating symptomatic patients could doom it, Shkreli predicted in the thread.
"Cassava bulls are looking for a ‘lotto ticket' return, but their chances are worse than the lotto."
Shkreli was extremely confident in his prediction, with a post <a href="https://x.com/MartinShkreli/status/1860878868028269051">listing </a>the things that he would do if the Phase 3 trial met its primary endpoint.
<ol>
<li>Delete my X account</li>
<li>Shave my head on YouTube and delete that account as well</li>
<li>Begin estrogen therapy and legally change my name to Martina</li>
<li>Move to Haiti, bringing my best friend/cat Nibbles</li>
<li>Retire from business completely</li>
</ol>
Shkreli took aim at WallSteetBets, a subreddit on Reddit Monday with a <a href="https://x.com/MartinShkreli/status/1861031460586831913">tweet </a>saying that "garbage like $SAVA" comes from the subreddit.

Why It's Important: Shkreli said Cassava not meeting the primary endpoint would make the stock "an easy short" and shares could trade near their cash value levels of $2 to $3 per share.
The prediction from Shkreli comes after the former hedge fund manager's wild past in the pharmaceutical sector. Known as "pharma bro" to many, Shkreli previously was CEO of Retrophin and Turing Pharmaceuticals. Shkreli <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/11/23904774/wall-street-crime-and-punishment-martin-shkreli-the-self-destructive-pharma-bro">famously raised the price</a> of antiparasitic drug Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 for insurance providers after Turing acquired the drug.
Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud in 2017 and currently has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41222384/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-loses-appeal-supreme-court-imposes-65m-fine-issues-lifetime-ban-from-pharm"> a lifetime ban</a> from the pharmaceutical sector.
Before his recent Cassava Sciences focus, the former hedge funder has been making recent headlines in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40185861/djt-trumpcoin-allegedly-launched-by-martin-shkreli-with-barron-trumps-help-tanks-98" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the cryptocurrency sector</a>.
Benzinga reached out to Shkreli for comment and did not hear back by the time of publication.
Citron Research, known for their short reports, praised Shkreli's prediction on Cassava Sciences in a <a href="https://x.com/CitronResearch/status/1861043591369429143">tweet</a>.
"$SAVA illustrates the difficulty in shorting stocks. Has been a clear fraud for years but almost became an impossible short because of the ‘new market forces'. Nice to see some good homework by @martinshkreli added with a dose of reality to achieve real price discovery," Citron Research tweeted.
SAVA Price Action: Cassava Sciences stock is down 84.6% to $4.06 on Monday versus a previous 52-week trading range of $8.79 to $42.20, hitting new 52-week lows.
