BofA Sees Aluminum Prices Trading At $3,000/t ($1.36/Pound) Next Year; Expects Aluminum Supply To Rise By Only 1.3% YoY In 2025, Versus 3.7% On Average In The Past Decade

Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAXN#NASDAQ">MAXN</a>) shares are moving lower on Monday after the company announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40975814/why-granite-point-mortgage-trust-shares-are-trading-higher-here-are-20-stocks-moving-premarket">reverse stock split</a>.
The Details: Shareholders of the company approved a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on August 29. This comes after Maxeon received a Staff Determination letter from the Nasdaq warning the company of a potential delisting after its stock traded at 10 cents or less for 10 consecutive trading days.
The company has requested a hearing which will hold off the delisting. Maxeon believes that the reverse stock split will bring the company&#8217;s stock above the $1 per share minimum bid price requirement.
How To Buy Maxeon Stock
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAXN#NASDAQ">MAXN</a>) &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAXN#NASDAQ">MAXN</a>), which is trading at $0.08 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 1250.0 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the future of crypto, jokingly suggesting it could be used to pay off the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/08/40368118/true-us-debt-is-175-trillion-former-coinbase-cto-on-unpayable-crisis">country&#8217;s national debt</a>.
What Happened: At a recent fundraising event, Trump tongue-in-cheek commented on crypto&#8217;s potential to pay the growing U.S. national debt. 
Asked about crypto's future, he <a href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1838139837729181982?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1838139837729181982%7Ctwgr%5E9606e6555e11882d793170cdca5c90619490122e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cryptonewsz.com%2Ftrump-says-crypto-could-be-key-to-pay-35t-debt%2F">said</a>, "I think it's a good future. If you look at how far it&#8217;s come, I think it has a great future, it really does." He added, "Maybe we'll pay off the $35 trillion. "I'll write out a little piece of paper, 35 trillion crypto. We have no debt. Right? That's what I like."

Why It Matters: Last week, Trump announced his latest crypto-related business venture, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40853339/donald-trumps-son-barron-is-his-chief-defi-visionary-but-the-real-mastermind-behind-world-">World Liberty Financial</a>, in cooperation with his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump and two little-known crypto entrepreneurs.
In another step to show his acceptance of crypto, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40932192/trump-pays-up-for-smash-burgers-and-diet-cokes-with-bitcoin-during-new-york-campaign-halt-">used Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to pay for his meal</a> at a New York City bar. Google Trends data indicated that the search interest for the words "Donald Trump Crypto" spiked to the highest level in the past 90 days.
In July 2019, Trump had <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1149472282584072192">said</a> that unregulated crypto assets like Bitcoin and others can "facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity" but has since pivoted 180 degrees on his position.

&nbsp;
Jony Ive has confirmed that he's working with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on an AI hardware project. The confirmation came today as part of <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/21/technology/jony-ive-apple-lovefrom.html">a profile of Ive in The New York Times</a>, nearly a year after the possibility of a collaboration between Altman and the longtime Apple designer was <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/28/23893939/jony-ive-openai-sam-altman-iphone-of-artificial-intelligence-device">first reported on</a>.
There aren't a lot of details on the project. Ive reportedly met Altman through Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb, and the venture is being funded by Ive and the Emerson Collective, Laurene Powell Jobs' company. The Times reports it could raise $1 billion in funding by the end of the year, but makes no mention of Masayoshi Son, the SoftBank CEO <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/28/23893939/jony-ive-openai-sam-altman-iphone-of-artificial-intelligence-device">rumored last year to have invested $1 billion in the project</a>.
The project only has 10 employees currently, but they include Tang Tan and Evans Hankey, two key people who worked with Ive on the iPhone. LoveFrom, Ive's company, is leading the device's design, according to the report. The team is reportedly now working out of a 32,000-square-foot office building in San Francisco, part of a $90 million strip of real estate that Ive has bought up on single city block.
As for the device itself? The Times says that Ive and Altman discussed "how generative AI made it possible to create a new computing device because the technology could do more for users than traditional software" due to its ability to handle complicated requests. Last year it was rumored to be inspired by touchscreen technology and the original iPhone.
But it sounds like few specifics are nailed down. LoveFrom cofounder Marc Newson told the Times that the AI product —&nbsp;and when it'll come to market —&nbsp;are still being figured out

Barclays Maintains Underweight on Green Dot, Raises Price Target to $10

Economic activity in the U.S. private sector grew at a slightly faster pace than anticipated in September, marking a stark contrast between the healthy services sector and the struggling manufacturing industry, according to the flash estimates from the Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) report released by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/macro-economic-events">S&amp;P Global on Monday.</a>
Despite better-than-expected readings for both the composite and services PMIs, two concerning trends emerged from September's surveys. 
First, the manufacturing sector&#8217; deepened contraction&#8217;s contraction deepened, with output levels hitting their lowest level since December 2023. Second, inflationary pressures resurfaced, notably in the same month the Federal Reserve announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40965372/fed-delivers-large-interest-rate-cut-in-bid-to-sustain-labor-market-stocks-gold-set-new-record-h">a 50-basis-point interest rate cut</a>, with signals of further cuts ahead.

<ul>
<li>Composite PMI: Eased from 54.6 in August to 54.4 but slightly outpaced the forecast of 54.3, as tracked by TradingEconomics.</li>
<li>Services PMI: Slowed from 55.7 to 55.4, still above the expected 55.3, signaling ongoing expansion.</li>
<li>Manufacturing PMI: Contracted more sharply, falling from 47.9 to 47, missing the expected improvement to 48.9.</li>
<li>Manufacturing orders shrunk and business expectations for the year ahead hit a two-year low, primarily due to rising political uncertainty ahead of the upcoming presidential election. This uncertainty is leading companies to freeze hiring and cut jobs, with employment levels falling for the second consecutive month.</li>
<li>Manufacturing payrolls were cut at the sharpest pace since June 2020, with factory job reductions at their steepest since January 2010 as firms grapple with weak demand.</li>
<li>September saw a marked a worrisome increase in average prices for goods and services, with the fastest rise since March. This was the first acceleration in selling price inflation in four months, intensifying concerns about the new Federal Reserve&#8217;s monetary policy easing stance.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economist Insights</h3>
&#8220;The early survey indicators for September point to an economy that continues to grow at a solid pace […]. A reacceleration of inflation is meanwhile also signalled, suggesting the Fed cannot totally shift its focus away from its inflation target as it seeks to sustain the economic upturn,&#8221; said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.
The survey aligns with a &#8220;healthy&#8221; third-quarter GDP growth estimate of 2.2% annualized, Williamson said, but emphasized the economy&#8217;s overreliance on the services sector and a drop in business confidence tied to political instability.
Regarding the price pressures increase, he advised the Fed to move cautiously in implementing further rate cuts.
