AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>) shares are moving lower on Friday after the company reported worse-than-expected 2024 third-quarter fiscal earnings after the bell <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41994523">on Thursday</a>.
What Happened: AST SpaceMobile shares fell about 13% after the company released earnings on Thursday. The earnings report included a loss of $1.10 per share, missing analyst estimates of a loss of 20 cents per share.
Furthermore, the company reported sales of $1.10 million, missing analyst estimates of $24.13 million. AST SpaceMobile reported other key pieces of financial data, including adjusted operating expenses of $45.3 million.
The company incurred about $374 million of gross capitalized property and equipment costs. It also reported $518.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. 
Stepping back from finances, the company announced several key agreements, such as launch service agreements with Blue Origin for launches in 2025 and 2026. These agreements will enable the orbital deployment of up to 60 Block 2 BlueBird satellites.
The company&#8217;s coverage will initially target key markets, including the U.S., Japan, and Europe.
Additionally, the company achieved initial validation of its AST5000 ASIC chip, with the necessary infrastructure in place for commissioning in 2025. The combination of the new chip and the larger Block 2 array will support enhanced data transmission.
&#8220;We achieved many significant milestones in the quarter and continue our momentum with several key pieces now in place,&#8221; said Abel Avellan, founder, chairman and CEO of AST SpaceMobile. 
&#8220;With the first five BlueBird satellites successfully unfolded and entering initial operations, our business is progressing according to plan. We&#8217;ve advanced our strategy across multiple efforts including progress on securing orbital launch capacity, growing our manufacturing capability, and expanding our customer ecosystem.&#8221;
Following the earnings report, UBS analyst Christopher Schoell maintained a Buy rating on AST SpaceMobile and raised the price target from&nbsp;$30&nbsp;to&nbsp;$31.

Ulta Beauty, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) stock is moving lower Friday after Warren Buffet&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41993666/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-slashes-apple-bofa-holdings-adds-dominos-pizza-in-q3">cut its position in the company. </a>
What To Know: Buffet&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway cut nearly all of its position in the beauty brand, according to Berkshire&#8217;s latest 13F filing.
Berkshire initially reported holding 690,106 shares in Ulta in an August filing. The latest 13F filing, released Thursday, shows its position has been reduced to 24,203 shares, a 96% cut.
The filing also indicates new positions in Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) and Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>). Berkshire acquired 1,277,256 shares of Domino&#8217;s, valued at approximately $549 million, and 404,057 shares of Pool Corp, worth about $152 million.
Furthermore, the filing shows that Berkshire continued to reduce its stake in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>). The August filing represents the company&#8217;s holdings as of June 30, while Thursday&#8217;s filing reports Berkshire&#8217;s holdings as of Sept. 30.
How To Buy Ulta Stock
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 Ulta Beauty'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.

Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPB#NYSE">SPB</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Friday.</a>
The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 97 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42004018/spectrum-brands-holdings-reports-fiscal-2024-fourth-quarter" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the street view of $1.07</a>. Quarterly revenues were $773.7 million (+4.5%), beating the analyst consensus of $747.51 million.
Gross profit surged 17.8% to $288 million. Gross profit and margin increased due to productivity improvements, operational efficiencies, and inventory actions in the prior year, partially offset by ocean freight inflation.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $42.6 million, driven by $32.5 million of lower investment income and $25.9 million of increased brand-focused investments, offset by gross profit improvements.
As of the fiscal year-end, the company reported a cash balance of $369 million and total liquidity of $860 million, including undrawn capacity on its cash flow revolver.
It had $578 million in outstanding debt, consisting of $496 million in senior unsecured notes and around $82 million in finance lease obligations, resulting in a net debt of approximately $209 million.
Outlook: Spectrum Brands expects low single-digit growth in reported net sales in fiscal 2025 and adjusted EBITDA to increase by mid to high single-digits. Adjusted free cash flow is expected to be approximately<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance"> 50% of adjusted EBITDA.</a>
The company continues to target a long-term net leverage ratio of 2.0 &#8211; 2.5 times.
&#8220;I am excited about the upcoming year. Our focus during fiscal 2025 will be to continue the momentum we built in fiscal 2024 by investing in our brands to drive long-term growth, in innovation to expand core and adjacent categories, and in our operations to drive further cost improvement, quality and safety,&#8221; said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.
Price Action: SPB shares are trading lower by 4.78% to $89.38&nbsp;at last check Friday.

Behind the Scenes of Nike's Latest Options Trends

Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) stock has climbed following Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">presidential election win</a>, driven by expectations of economic policies that could stimulate consumer spending and benefit payment processors like Visa.
Trump's proposal to extend and expand tax cuts is likely to increase disposable income for households and encourage corporate investment, leading to a surge in transaction volumes—Visa's primary revenue source.
What Else: Additionally, Trump's deregulatory agenda could benefit Visa by reducing compliance costs in the financial sector, allowing the company to invest more aggressively in innovation. 
This could accelerate Visa's development of digital payment technologies, enhance its global network, and foster partnerships with emerging fintech companies. Visa is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth as digital transactions continue to replace cash worldwide.
Trump's focus on economic expansion through infrastructure spending and trade reforms could further bolster Visa's business segment by increasing corporate transactions and cross-border payment activity. 
Potential inflationary pressures under Trump's policies may also indirectly benefit Visa, as higher transaction values generate increased processing fees.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is V 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/V">Visa</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. Visa does pay a dividend, which yields 0.78% per year as of the closing price on Nov. 15, 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.
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/V">Visa</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>, V has a 52-week high of $312.44 and a 52-week low of $245.60.

The Oncology Institute shares are trading lower. The stock may be moving on continued weakness following worse-than-expected Q3 financial results reported on Wednesday.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and SoftBank&#8217;s Masayoshi Son recently shared a few laughs and some bittersweet memories at the AI Summit in Tokyo. At the center of their banter? SoftBank&#8217;s former role as Nvidia&#8217;s largest shareholder – and how they decided to let that golden opportunity slip away.

</ul>
In 2019, SoftBank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) sold all of its Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares, which comprised about 4.9% of the company. It seemed like a solid move back then: they had invested around $700 million and ended up making $3.3 billion from the sale. But now, Son admits the decision wasn&#8217;t exactly a home run. Today, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39489510/the-150-billion-opportunity-softbank-lost-by-selling-nvidia-shares-too-soon">those shares would be worth over $150 billion</a>.
During their talk, Huang jokingly said, &#8220;We can cry together,&#8221; hugging Son on stage as they remembered what might have been. Son, not missing a beat, added that he had to &#8220;tearfully&#8221; sell those shares. Huang even shared that Son once offered him financial backing to buy Nvidia outright – something he now wishes he'd taken. &#8220;That was a great idea,&#8221; Huang said, with a hint of regret.

Huang praised Son for being a visionary who has consistently backed winning innovators like Bill Gates, Jerry Yang and Steve Jobs. Son has a talent for recognizing big opportunities and helping establish major tech moments, from bringing Gates and Jobs to Japan to making Alibaba&#8217;s success possible in China. Yet, even with all those successes, the missed Nvidia chance still stings.
Today, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA">Nvidia is worth $3.6 trillion</a> and is the world&#8217;s most valuable company, ahead of tech giants like Apple and Microsoft. Its value has skyrocketed thanks to the AI boom, with its chips playing a crucial role in powering AI technologies across the globe. Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged 2,768% in the last five years, putting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41882908/640416">Jensen Huang&#8217;s net worth</a> at a staggering $127 billion.

SoftBank, meanwhile, remains heavily invested in the future of AI. Son has made it clear that he&#8217;s not done yet. He recently mentioned that his true purpose might be to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41181374/softbanks-masayoshi-son-predicts-artificial-superintelligence-within-a-decade-after-testing-openais">bring about artificial superintelligence (ASI) – </a>a form of AI that could be 10,000 times smarter than humans. His belief in the power of AI and its ability to solve global problems, from diseases to natural disasters, keeps driving him forward.
Despite the missed opportunity with Nvidia, SoftBank is moving ahead at full throttle.
