Although Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is up over 190% year-to-date, &#8220;over the last five months the stock has been relatively flat, leaving bulls and bears at an inflection point,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/08/40652895/exclusive-beyond-the-magnificent-seven-direxions-egilinsky-reveals-top-sector-picks">Direxion&#8216;s Ed Egilinsky says</a>.
This pause in growth signals the stock might be priced to perfection. Some active traders are watching for the next move. 
For those who consider the stock&#8217;s price is perfection and forward expectations are not lofty enough to propel it higher, the Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X Shares ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDD#NASDAQ">NVDD</a>) offers a way to get profit from any expected correction in the stock. 
However, traders who believe the stock will trend higher in the short term, can look to trade the Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 2X Shares ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDU#NASDAQ">NVDU</a>).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential R&amp;D Spending Not Baked In</h2>
While Nvidia remains the barometer for the AI space, Egilinsky stresses the importance of continued innovation to retain its competitive edge in AI chips. 
&#8220;This could result in a more sizable commitment to their R&amp;D spending that might not be totally baked into current projections,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Geopolitical Tensions, Tariffs Could Impact Future Growth</h2>
Beyond its product and performance, Nvidia's future is increasingly shaped by geopolitical risks, particularly the U.S. tariff stance. 
&#8220;Traders will be waiting for a sign to trade the next move in Semis and for short-term traders that can be either a bullish view or bearish sentiment,&#8221; Egilinsky said.
The Donald Trump administration's policies on global trade, especially tariffs, could affect Nvidia's revenue from China and its reliance on Taiwan for chip production.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Growth Still Promising, But Tariffs Add Uncertainty</h2>
Despite these risks, Nvidia's future looks promising, especially with Blackwell shipments ramping up next quarter. 
One way to gauge Nvidia's AI growth prospects is by looking at its key customers like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). 
These tech giants rely heavily on Nvidia's chips to power their cloud platforms, machine learning, and data centers. As these companies expand their AI operations, Nvidia's role in driving this growth could bolster its position in the market, fueling continued demand for its products.
Egilinsky said the excessive demand for Nvidia&#8217;s products might &#8220;send the stock to new all-time highs.&#8221; Still, the company's ability to navigate geopolitical hurdles will be crucial to sustaining this growth.

Nutanix's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTNX#NYSE">NTNX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.79% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.65 million shares sold short, which is 2.02% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.46 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Nutanix has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Nutanix's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Nutanix's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.38%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

New York&#8217;s storied real estate dynasties are breaking a rule passed down through generations – never sell your buildings. As the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41357339/experts-warn-that-distress-in-u-s-offices-may-lead-to-a-surging-supply-of-one-billion-square-feet-of">office market crumbles under the weight of remote work</a>, New York families are forced to part with properties they&#8217;ve held for decades.
William Rudin, whose family helped shape Manhattan&#8217;s skyline, recently sold control of two financial district towers his family developed in the 1960s. "The world has changed," Rudin, the co-executive chairman of his family's firm, told the Wall Street Journal. "We have to take a cold hard look at our business to make sure there's a foundation for the next generation."

</ul>
The sales mark a shift for families that have weathered world wars, financial crashes and even a pandemic without letting go of their core assets. According to real estate investment firm Eastdil Secured, New York&#8217;s real estate families have sold about 10 office buildings in the past two years – double the number sold in the previous decade.
"Instead of 50 different aunts and uncles getting distributions, they're getting capital calls," Gary Phillips, an Eastdil managing director, told the WSJ, highlighting the financial strain on extended family businesses.
With a 100-year legacy in Manhattan real estate, the Kaufman family is also reluctantly selling. "We and the other families did not sell," Jonathan Iger, CEO of Sage Realty, the Kaufman family's management firm, said to the WSJ. "You see yourself through the dips and you come out – not just fine, but more than fine."

Some families are fighting to hold on. The Gurals recently invested fresh capital into their 60-year-old DuMont Building on Madison Avenue. "It's called a capital call, which is the most dreaded term in our industry," said Jeffrey Gural, chairman of GFP Real Estate. Despite the pain, Gural remains convinced holding is the right choice. "I have yet to sell a building where I didn't regret selling," he said.
For the Rudins, even a $100 million renovation at 80 Pine Street couldn't save it from the chopping block. "Even if we spent money to fix up the building, the ceilings are too low, there are a lot of columns, the floors are too big," Rudin explained. "It became clear to us we needed to stop putting capital back into the building."
The sales represent more than just business decisions – they're the end of an era for families who built New York's commercial landscape. "When I go by 80 Pine Street, I remember the good times and bad times," Rudin reflected. "But you've got to move on."
The shift might signal a broader transformation in urban real estate, as aging office towers face obsolescence in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40436855/hopes-for-nyc-office-market-rebound-dented-by-sale-of-midtown-skyscraper-at-97-discount-but-theres-a">post-pandemic world demanding modern amenities and flexible workspaces</a>.

New York Judge Grants Trump Permission To File Motion To Dismiss Hush Money Case, Delays Sentencing

CTXR

Citius Pharmaceuticals shares are trading lower after the company announced a 1-for-25 reverse stock split.

The S&amp;P 500 index is wrapping up a historic two-year run of consecutive over 20% gains, a feat achieved only four times in the past 150 years. Yet, Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at Bank of America, says the party <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">may not last forever. </a>
According to Hartnett&#8217;s latest Flow Show report, published Friday, the U.S. equity market is poised for another &#8220;double-digit move&#8221; in 2025 — though investors shouldn't rule out the possibility of a second wave of inflation that could derail the bull market.
The Bank of America&#8217;s Investment Clock — a key barometer that shows the prevailing economic scenario in a given year — is transitioning from a &#8220;recovery&#8221; in 2024 to an &#8220;inflation boom&#8221; in 2025.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">History Rhymes: Rare Consecutive Gains</h1>
The S&amp;P 500 — as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — surged 24% in 2024, mirroring its 24% rally in 2023.
This back-to-back streak of 20%-plus returns happened just four times in the past century and a half: during 1927-&#8217;28, 1935-&#8217;36, 1954-&#8217;55, and 1995-&#8217;96.
However, history shows that the years following such rallies often see wild market swings, for better or worse.
<ul>
<li>1927-28: Followed by a -12% loss in 1929 and a catastrophic -28% drop in 1930.</li>
<li>1935-36: After two years of outsized returns, 1937 saw a brutal -39% decline.</li>
<li>1954-55: Markets cooled, with modest gains of +3% in 1956 and a -14% slide in 1957.</li>
<li>1995-96: Continued strength with a +31% gain in 1997 but slowed to +12% in 1998.</li>
</ul>
Will 2025 follow a similar script? Hartnett says a major move — up or down — should be expected.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">3 Reasons Why The S&amp;P 500 Could Rise In 2025</h1>
Hartnett highlights three key drivers that can pave the way for the bull market to continue in 2025.
<ol>
<li>A "boomy" economic backdrop: Companies are front-loading operations ahead of potential tariffs, labor hoarding remains rampant amid tighter immigration controls and unemployment claims have tumbled. </li>
<li>Goldilocks bond yields: Despite $36 trillion in U.S. debt and a 7% GDP deficit, central banks are expected to cut rates in 2025 — Bank of America is forecasting 124 global rate cuts. </li>
<li>Political incentives: The Trump administration is heavily invested in propping up risk assets like equities and cryptocurrencies to stimulate &#8220;animal spirits,&#8221; making a bear market unlikely heading into an election year.</li>
</ol>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">&#8230; Yet Valuations Are Stretched To Extremes</h1>
With the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s trailing price-to-earnings ratio now at 26.5x, it ranks as the fourth-highest valuation in 125 years, behind only December 1921, June 1999 and June 2021.
The U.S. stock market is sitting at 75-year highs relative to international equities, with just 10 companies accounting for a staggering 37% of market cap.
This concentration has been driven by the so-called &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech giants — stocks whose collective market capitalization surged by $4 trillion in 2024.
But Hartnett indicates the narrative of U.S. exceptionalism, particularly in artificial intelligence, may be peaking cyclically.
Crunching the numbers, he highlighted that the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s secular bull market, which began at 666 points in March 2009, could potentially climax at 6,666 in 2025.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">&#8230; And Inflation May Return</h1>
Bank of America's Investment Clock model indicates 2024 marked an equity-bullish "recovery" phase, driven by lower rates and higher corporate earnings.
But 2025 could transition into an "inflation boom" phase, where rising rates and price pressures become the dominant themes.
While Hartnett is bullish on commodities as a hedge against this scenario, he warns credit and equities may peak in early 2025.
