Xiaomi (OTC:XIACF) Bolsa, Informe de interés en corto

Xiaomi is a technology product and services company founded in early 2010, focusing mainly on smartphones and Internet of Things products and related internet services. An early adopter of online smartphone sales, Xiaomi uses Android as its operating system but has its own customized user interface called MIUI. As competition in its home Chinese smartphone market intensified and growth has slowed, it has expanded into other markets and has become the smartphone market leader in India and is gaining market share in Europe. From 2020 to 2024, from a country perspective, around 50% of its overall revenue was generated in mainland China, down from 94% in 2015. The company listed on the Hong Kong market at the beginning of July 2018.

Microvast Holdings Says Fariyal Khanbabi To Become CFO On Or About Oct. 21

<p>Florida Gov. <strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ron DeSantis</a></strong> is apparently using yet another state agency in his ongoing crusade to defeat two constitutional amendments that will appear on the ballot in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">November 2024 election</a>.</p>
<p>This time it's the Florida Department of Education, which is helping pay for a new television ad warning of the "risks to marijuana" with less than three weeks until voters will decide on the cannabis legalization initiative, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amendment 3</a>, which enjoys broad popular support.</p>
<p>A co-sponsored ad from the Departments of Health, Education and Children &amp; Families, <a href="https://jasongarcia.substack.com/p/desantis-orders-another-state-agency">reported</a> <strong>Jason Garcia </strong>on Seeking Rents targets parents, warning them of the dangers of cannabis, saying it "can do real damage to the still-developing brains of young people."</p>

<p>Now the DOT is out with another ad in which three sheriffs make various claims about the harms of cannabis, including one who suggests that marijuana use is associated with a greater risk of domestic violence.</p>
<p>"When we make home visits for domestic violence calls, they're often associated with marijuana use," said Polk County Sheriff <strong>Grady Judd</strong>, a claim that runs contrary to research on the topic.</p>
<p>Duval County Sheriff <strong>T.K. Waters </strong>says there are "too many kids going to the ER because of weed gummies and joints laced with fentanyl."</p>

<p>A recent <a href="https://www.crainsdetroit.com/cannabis/michigan-marijuana-sales-fall-market-faces-oversupply">article</a> by <strong>Dustin Walsh</strong> published in Crain's Detroit points out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/michigan-cannabis">Michigan&#8217;s</a> legal cannabis market is facing a sharp decline in September, with sales dropping nearly 10% from August. </p>
<p>Total sales for the month amounted to $266.9 million, down from the record-breaking $295.4 million in August. </p>
<p>According to the author, this decrease reflects not only the end of summer but also the oversupply issue plaguing the state's industry.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Drop In Prices</strong></h3>
<p>The drop in cannabis prices in Michigan is significant, with the average price of an ounce of recreational flower hitting an all-time low at $78.68, down 15.6% since January. In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41170083/michigan-cannabis-market-hits-record-sales-amid-low-weed-prices-and-rise-in-cultivation-licenses">September</a> an ounce of flower cost $80.14.</p>
<p>In regions like the Upper Peninsula, retailers offered heavy discounts to maintain sales, even though the overall sales totals still fell by 16.9%.</p>
<p>One probable reason behind this drop in prices is the surge in Ohio&#8217;s recreational cannabis market, which particularly affects the eastern and southeastern parts of the state. Ohio sold over 5,200 pounds of marijuana in September, with sales totaling $87.1 million, which likely contributed to Michigan&#8217;s 23% drop in sales in that region.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Competition Intensifies</strong></h3>
<p>On the supply side, overproduction is said to be the largest factor affecting Michigan's market.</p>
<p>With 3.77 million active cannabis plants being grown, a 45% increase from the previous year, the market is flooded, driving prices even lower. Market production has intensified. By September, growers were using 82% of their licensed grow capacity, up from 56% in April, further intensifying the price pressure.</p>
<p>Also, the State has registered a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41170083/michigan-cannabis-market-hits-record-sales-amid-low-weed-prices-and-rise-in-cultivation-licenses">significant increase In cultivation</a> licenses this year. </p>
