The CFO transition coincides with the upcoming holiday season. The Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) rival wants to hire 100,000 seasonal workers despite a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40878577/target-set-to-recruit-100k-seasonal-employees-despite-anticipated-slow-holiday-sales" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">slower holiday season</a> expectation as the inflation bites. However, the recent upward revision of the 2024 adjusted EPS outlook to $9.00-$9.70, up from $8.60-$9.60 following an upbeat second-quarter print, backs the hiring decision.
Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) boosted the fulfillment and transportation employee and delivery driver pay for uninterrupted service <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40927136/amazon-boosts-worker-pay-to-over-29hour-invests-2-2b-as-holiday-kicks-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">ahead of the busy season</a>.

DoorDash shares are trading higher after BTIG upgraded the stock from Neutral to Buy and announced a $155 price target.

The United States is rapidly falling behind China in preparing for potential conflict, as revealed in recent hearings at the Pentagon. 
What Happened: Two key congressional panels heard that the Pentagon&#8217;s outdated procedures and a crisis-driven public are significant obstacles. Lawmakers from both parties urged Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell to address these issues, the South China Morning Post<a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3279059/us-falling-rapidly-behind-china-preparing-next-war-two-congressional-panels-hear?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage"> reported</a> on Wednesday.
House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul criticized the slow pace of technology transfers to allies, despite legislation intended to expedite the process. Campbell agreed, stating adjustments are necessary for stronger partnerships with Great Britain and Australia.
Democratic congressman Gabe Amo also expressed concerns about delays, to which Campbell responded that contract reviews are the primary cause. He assured that the U.S. would provide essential resources to its allies.
The hearings occurred amid budget disagreements and a delayed defense roadmap. The Commission on the National Defence Strategy&#8217;s recent report called for a larger military and closer ties with allies to counter threats from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
Former congresswoman Jane Harman and former undersecretary of defense Eric Edelman highlighted the need for a more integrated force and a modernized industrial base. Edelman warned of the potential for a global conflict and the risk of losing such a war.

Campbell emphasized the importance of technology in competition and the need for more tech-savvy personnel in the government. Both committees stressed the significance of alliances to counter China&#8217;s growing influence.
Why It Matters: The warnings from congressional panels come amid escalating tensions between the United States and China. Recently, China's ambassador to the United States, Xie Feng,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40851594/chinese-ambassador-issues-stern-warning-to-us-on-red-lines-taiwan-question-is-the-most-paramount-and"> issued a stern warning</a> to the U.S. regarding interference in China&#8217;s sovereignty, particularly concerning Taiwan. He emphasized that Taiwan is a critical &#8220;red line&#8221; that must not be crossed.
Additionally, the U.S. and its allies have raised alarms over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40827572/us-and-allies-raise-alarm-over-chinas-support-for-russias-military">China's support for Russia's military</a>, which is seen as a significant factor in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This support includes exports of dual-use goods and battlefield items, which are bolstering Russia's military capabilities.
Earlier this year, McCaul warned that the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee has the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39037174/us-lawmaker-warns-to-declare-war-on-china-in-case-of-an-unprovoked-attack-on-taiwan">authority to declare war</a> if China attacks Taiwan without provocation. He emphasized that deterrence is crucial to prevent such an outcome, stating, &#8220;If the island in an unprovoked manner was invaded, then it would be to the American people and the United States Congress, and my committee that has the power to declare war, how to deal with that.&#8221;
