Stocks That Hit 52-Week Lows On Thursday

DXI Capital Corp

While the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) industry may represent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/evtol">the future of mobility</a>, as an investment, the narrative presents a cloudier picture. Case in point is sector heavyweight Archer Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>). Although ACHR stock has witnessed powerful ebbs and flows, the net performance since its public market debut has been lackluster overall.
As a result, caution should be the theme when approaching Archer. For example, ACHR stock lost 22.67% of value last week (defined as the difference between Monday's open and Friday's close). Given the rarity of such declines — the worst such loss occurring in June 2022 for a drop of 29.68% — it wasn't unusual to see the opinion cycle label ACHR as a discounted buying opportunity.
To be fair, some factors support the optimism. Earlier this week, Benzinga's options scanner uncovered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/01/42954080/looking-at-archer-aviations-recent-unusual-options-activity">unusual activity</a> for ACHR stock derivatives, with all aberrant transactions featuring bullish sentiment. However, the bulk of the dollar volume targeted calls expiring this Friday and that appears to be the point.
Analysts generally don't disagree that over the long run, eVTOL players offer tremendous potential for advanced mobility. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/downgrades/25/01/42923959/evtol-market-soars-too-high-analyst-gives-archer-joby-downgrades">fundamental concerns</a> such as certification hurdles against sky-high valuations warrant caution. Indeed, the statistical evidence suggests that the bears still have the upper hand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ACHR Stock Really Comes Down To Numbers Game</h2>
Before engaging in any trade, it's important to understand the lay of the land. Barring any other context, on any given week, there's a 45.19% chance that by the end of the fourth subsequent week, a position held in ACHR stock will rise in value. Out of 208 qualifying weeks, 94 were positive, 114 were negative and one ended up completely flat.
However, the context of the moment isn't about whether ACHR stock will rise based on a random entry point. Instead, the assertion in the opinion cycle is that because ACHR suffered an extreme-fear event last week, Archer Aviation represents a deep-value play. However, the evidence does not support this claim.
Since Archer's public market debut, there have been 31 weeks where ACHR stock suffered a 10% weekly loss or worse. Out of this tally, there have only been 10 weeks (or 32.26%) where by the end of the fourth subsequent week, ACHR posted a positive return. In other words, not only do the bulls not buy the dip, the bears tend to further puncture the wound.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15142011/Probability-gambit-ACHR-stock-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-735438" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15142011/Probability-gambit-ACHR-stock-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15142011/Probability-gambit-ACHR-stock-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15142011/Probability-gambit-ACHR-stock-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15142011/Probability-gambit-ACHR-stock.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Chart created by the author.
To be fair, the median positive return under a dynamic statistical model — that is, looking at the median return of ACHR stock when it moves higher following an extreme-fear event — clocks in at 26.5% at the end of week four. That's much higher than the median positive return of 15.95% when viewed stochastically, meaning any four-week window irrespective of context.
Stated simply, if ACHR stock manages to beat the odds, the rewards can be intense. It's just that historically, the numbers don't favor the bullish thesis.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Different Approaches For Archer Aviation</h2>
Another worrisome factor potentially impacting ACHR stock is that it currently appears to be charting a pattern similar to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/forex-head-and-shoulders-strategy">bearish head and shoulders</a>. &nbsp;A similar-looking formation materialized last year between July and August, resulting in early optimism succumbing to significant disappointment. Naturally, there's risk that the same scenario can emerge at a greater scale.

Chart: Tradingview
Those traders who believe in the numbers game may consider a <a href="https://help.benzinga.com/en/articles/6332560-bear-put-spread-options-trade">bear put spread</a>. This multi-leg options strategy involves buying a put option and simultaneously selling a put at a lower strike price. Traders aim for the underlying security to fall to the short strike price, with the idea that they will use the credit received from the short put to offset the debit paid for the long put.
Whether calculated stochastically or dynamically, the statistical downside target for ACHR stock one month following an extreme-fear event is quite similar: $7.81 and $7.59, respectively. Put another way, investors may anticipate an average loss of 14.17% from last Friday's close of $8.97.
With a timeline corresponding with the options chain expiring Feb. 7, aggressive traders can target the 9.00/7.50 bear put spread. At the time of writing, the breakeven threshold for this transaction stands well above $8, providing greater odds of success but also with a very robust maximum payout.
Finally, those who believe that "this time could be different" for ACHR stock may consider a directionally neutral long iron condor. This trade combines a bear put spread with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread">bull call spread</a>, establishing top-and-bottom profitability targets.
Under a dynamic pricing model, ACHR stock may rise to $11.35 under the positive scenario. Therefore, a 7.50 &#x7C; 8.00P &#x7C;&#x7C; 10.50C &#x7C; 11.00C long iron condor — or a 7.50/8.00 bear put spread combined with a 10.50/11.00 bull call spread — could be the ticket to trading success.

Options Corner: Archer Aviation Might Not Be The Discount You Think It Is

<a href="https://dailydarkweb.net/metlife-data-breach-raises-privacy-concerns-in-the-united-states/">https://dailydarkweb.net/metlife-data-breach-raises-privacy-concerns-in-the-united-states/</a>
A significant data breach reportedly involving MetLife has come to light, with claims of a massive 289GB database being exposed. The leaked data is believed to include sensitive user information, sparking widespread concerns about privacy and security.
Data breaches of this scale can lead to unauthorized access, identity theft, and other forms of data misuse. For an organization of MetLife's stature, this incident highlights the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard user information. The financial and insurance sectors are often prime targets for such breaches, given the sensitive nature of the data they handle.
Affected users are strongly advised to monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, update their credentials, and stay informed about any official updates from MetLife regarding the breach.

'MetLife Data Breach Raises Privacy Concerns in the United States' - Daily Dark Web

What does it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39069576/are-you-rich-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-be-poor-middle-class-and-wealthy">mean to be wealthy</a>? Turns out, opinions vary wildly depending on who you ask – and where they live.&nbsp;
According to the latest Modern Wealth Survey from Charles Schwab, Americans believe you need a net worth of $2.5 million to officially enter "wealthy" territory. That might sound like Monopoly money to some. Still, others in high-cost cities like San Francisco scoff at the number, with Bay Area residents suggesting you need closer to $4.4 million to feel comfortable. And then there are those on Reddit who've weighed in with their takes.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a></li>

</ul>
One user on Reddit called the $2.5 million benchmark "shockingly low," declaring that "$10 million is the real starting point." Another chimed in with some math to back their point, using the popular 25x rule: essentially, you multiply your annual lifestyle costs by 25 to determine how much invested wealth you'd need to live comfortably off the interest. For example, if your ideal life costs $70,000 a year, you'd need $1.75 million invested. Prefer yachts and private jets? Well, $15 million a year in expenses means you're looking at a cool $375 million portfolio. Easy, right?
Then, there's the philosophical side of the debate. One Redditor said they knew they were "wealthy" when money couldn't solve their problems. For them, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42885231/can-you-guess-what-percent-of-people-retire-with-a-3-million-nest-egg-hint-its-an-incredibly-low-number">hitting $3 million</a> was the sweet spot where they could afford the life they wanted and any extra cash became irrelevant to their happiness. Another pointed out that most Americans aren't even close to these numbers – many can't cover a $1,000 emergency without borrowing. From that lens, $2.5 million might as well be a billion.

Beyond the Reddit banter, the conversation reveals how wealth is relative, tied to hard numbers, personal values and circumstances. Historically, "modest competence" (a term famously used in Jane Austen's novels) described a level of wealth sufficient for comfort and security without extravagance. Adjusted for inflation, this concept might translate to an annual income of $100,000 –$150,000 today. Using the 25x rule means you'd need $2.5 –$3.75 million invested – not far from what Schwab's survey suggests.
A couple with $2.5 million might feel rich in rural Kansas but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38703985/1-out-of-every-24-people-in-new-york-city-is-a-millionaire-most-in-the-world">stretched thin in Manhattan</a>, where housing alone can eat up half a fortune. And then there's the generational divide – Boomers think $2.8 million is the magic number, but many Millennials, facing student debt and rising living costs, might find even that unrelatable.
Ultimately, whether wealth means millions in the bank or simply the ability to live without financial stress, the key takeaway is this: financial security isn't one-size-fits-all.&nbsp;
Before you start measuring yourself against a survey or a Reddit thread, consider what wealth truly means. And if you're unsure how to get there, it might be worth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">chatting with a financial advisor</a> who can help you map out a plan that works for your goals – whether that's yachts or just peace of mind.

How Do You Know If You're Wealthy? The Magic Number Is $2.5 Million, But It's Not That Simple

In the current market session, RLI Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RLI#NYSE">RLI</a>) share price is at $154.77, after a 1.13% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 5.66%, but in the past year, increased by 9.61%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736973013_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does RLI P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
RLI has a better P/E ratio of 16.84 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 16.35 of the Insurance industry. Ideally, one might believe that RLI Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736973013_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Google announced in a blog <a href="https://blog.google/products/news/associated-press-gemini-app/">post</a> on Wednesday that it&#8217;s broadening its collaboration with The Associated Press (AP) to further enhance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gemini">its Gemini app</a>.
What Happened: Under the new collaboration, the Associated Press will provide Google with a feed of real-time information that the company will use to improve the usefulness of Gemini results.
&#8220;We believe AI is a transformative technology and we look forward to partnering with the news ecosystem to explore the benefits of AI and empower journalists,&#8221; the Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) subsidiary said.

Shares of companies within the broader technology sector are trading higher amid overall market strength after CPI data was in line with estimates and core CPI rose by less than expected.

Akash Network (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AKT</a>) founder Greg Osuri on Wednesday revealed an unexpected driver behind the increasing adoption of decentralized cloud solutions: a looming energy crisis related to the intensive computing demands of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a>.
While Akash Network was initially conceived as a decentralized alternative to traditional cloud providers, Osuri told Benzinga in an interview unforeseen challenges around energy capacity are now pushing its use into new, vital territories.
Osuri explained that the centralized data center model is facing severe limitations when it comes to providing the power required for advanced AI model training.
&#8220;People are not quite pricing in the energy limitations that we have. Just because you have more chips doesn&#8217;t mean you can actually use those chips," he said.
He further elaborated that major markets like the U.S. have trouble securing more than 10 megawatts of capacity, leading to an urgent need for more distributed, and potentially decentralized, solutions.
This energy bottleneck, Greg suggests, will force a shift to more decentralized infrastructure, with Akash being a central part of that change. 
"I think that is going to be such an unexpected reality. People are going to realize in two years. And then I think the decent AI is going to take off." 
Also Read: <a href="http://SEC Under Trump Administration To Revise Crypto Policies: Report">SEC Under Trump Administration To Revise Crypto Policies: Report</a>
Greg emphasized the increasing need to tap into individual homes and distributed networks, which the Akash Network is designed to support. 
"How do you go tap into individual homes? Is there a network that can actually let us go there? Yeah, that&#8217;s kind of the trigger, right?" he commented, outlining the decentralized imperative that his system uniquely addresses.
Beyond the energy concerns, Greg also spoke on the cost and sovereignty advantages of his system. 
He highlighted that the platform provides &#8220;10 times cheaper cost when it comes to CPUs&#8221; and that &#8220;Akash gets you H100 for 99 cents, same H100 will cost you $4,&#8221; making the platform four times cheaper for GPUs. 
Also, Greg stated the importance of transparency and availability through the network. "You want resources and you want guarantees that resources are going to be available."
Greg emphasized the open-source nature of Akash as another critical advantage, stating that &#8220;computer is a should be public utility&#8221; and that it &#8220;should not be, no one should tell you how to use it because you should have complete sovereignty.&#8221; 
The platform&#8217;s community-driven approach was also presented as a key competitive edge, fostering rapid innovation and network effects that are unattainable within single company structures.

Biden Administration Sues Southwest Airlines Over Chronically Delayed Flights

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to reflect that Bill Ackman&#8217;s social media post in support of Whitney Tilson&#8217;s candidacy for New York City mayor did not make a formal endorsement. 
Former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson is running for mayor of New York City and he picked up a supporter in the form of Bill Ackman, one of the most recognized voices in th<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bill-ackman">e world of finance.</a>
What Happened: Tilson, who is an investor and editor at Stansberry Research, announced his run for mayor back in November, but a new video and Ackman&#8217;s backing could bring more attention to his fight against the incumbent mayor, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/eric-adams">Eric Adams, </a>and other candidates.
"Our great city is headed in the wrong direction," Tilson <a href="https://x.com/WhitneyTilson/status/1878814057790378175">said </a>in the video. "It's time to fight for New York's future."
The video shows images and article headlines of higher crime in the city, unsafe subways and residents hit hard with inflation. Tilson says in the video that thriving businesses are shutting down and families are leaving as they can't afford to live there, and the neighborhoods are no longer safe.
Tilson, who raised his family in New York City, expresses his confidence in the city's comeback in the video.
"I believe our best days are still ahead."
Tilson says he will represent "all New Yorkers" as mayor and help bring safety, affordability and prosperity back to the city.
"New York City is the greatest city in the world."
Ackman <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1878819267115712811">shared </a>the Tilson video and called the former hedge fund manager "the candidate to watch."
"I have known @WhitneyTilson since college. He has made a career giving back," Ackman tweeted.
Ackman said Tilson is a lifelong Democrat who is also "a smart economically rational one."
"He is pro-business, anti-waste and identity politics, and wants to make NYC great again."
Ackman said that people shouldn't want New York City to become San Francisco or Los Angeles and that Tilson can help save the city.

Why It's Important: New York City Mayor Eric Adams was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41047664/fbi-raids-nyc-mayor-eric-adams-as-sealed-indictment-nears">indicted on federal charges</a> last year and awaits a trial after pleading not guilty. Adams became the first mayor in the city&#8217;s history to be charged with federal crimes while in office.
Tilson is one of several people running in the mayoral election that will be held in November 2025. Adams is currently running for re-election, but his indictment could put another win in jeopardy.
As a former hedge fund manager and investor, Tilson is well-known to many in the finance world, but he may be less familiar with other New Yorkers. Ackman&#8217;s support could help spread his platform to more people.
Tilson calls himself the only "change candidate" in the Democratic primary and also highlights that he is the only person running who isn't a career politician. Tilson also highlights his business background.
The campaign video shows Tilson's famous "60 Minutes" interview where he helped expose issues at Lumber Liquidators, a hardwood flooring company that went bankrupt in 2024.
A recent poll showed strong backing in the mayor race for former New York governor Andrew Cuomo at 32%, as reported by <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/13/poll-cuomo-dominates-nyc-mayoral-field-00197761">Politico</a>. Cuomo has not announced his running in the election. Former city comptroller Scott Stringer received 10% of the vote with Adams getting 6%. Tilson was not listed in the poll results.

Bill Ackman Backs Former Hedge Funder Whitney Tilson For NYC Mayor: 'Can Help Save Us' (UPDATED)

The Japanese government bond (JGB) market is heating up, and some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/japan">analysts are sounding alarms</a>. 
What Happened: With the yield on Japan's 10-year JGB closing in on 1.25%, market observers are divided on the implications <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing">for global markets</a>.
Peter Schiff, chief economist at Euro Pacific Capital, has a grim outlook: "Soon it will be 1.5% and then 2%. Once the yield moves above 2%, JGBs could crash, sending yields soaring. This will create a financial tsunami that will crash U.S. financial markets."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">No one seems to care, but the yield on the 10-year Japanese government bond is just under 1.25%. Soon it will be 1.5% and then 2%. Once the yield moves above 2%, JGBs could crash, sending yields soaring. This will create a financial tsunami that will crash U.S. financial markets.
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1879183332136960243?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 14, 2025</a></blockquote>

Why It Matters: Japan's bond market volatility has already raised concerns about global financial stability. Schiff warns that rising JGB yields and a bond crash could ripple through international markets, destabilizing the U.S. economy.
His stark message comes as the Bank of Japan faces pressure to manage inflation without crushing economic growth, a balancing act made tougher by persistent yield increases.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan Analysts Expect A Ceiling On Yields</h2>
Jason Hunter, JPMorgan&#8217;s head of technical strategy, takes a less alarmist view. He suggests that the yield surge may soon stabilize. 
&#8220;We suspect that 1.24-1.315% area will put a ceiling over 10-year JGBs for the weeks ahead,&#8221; he said in a Tuesday research note.
Hunter advised investors to watch for a settling trend near these levels, potentially easing pressure on U.S. Treasuries and broader markets.
Whether JGB yields will trigger chaos like Schiff says, or settle into calm, remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: plenty of eyes in the financial world are on Japan.

The company (formerly Republic Industries) spun off its waste management unit (Republic Services) in 1999 and its car rental businesses (ANC Rental) in 2000.

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.
