Bloom Energy Says Expects Shipment Volumes To Korea To Be Similar In 2024 And The Coming Years To What They Have Been In Recent Years

Jabil Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbl#NYSE">JBL</a>) is set to release fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Sept. 26, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 2.16%. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 3.10%, on average.
The leading global supplier of electronic manufacturing services is likely to witness a revenue contraction year over year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Soft demand trends in some end markets and macroeconomic challenges are likely to impede the top-line growth. Initiatives to improve profitability and free cash flow are positives.
<h2>Factors at Play</h2>
Jabil is placing a strong emphasis on integrating sophisticated AI and ML capabilities to enhance portfolio offerings and improve the efficiency of its internal process. Growing demand for AI infrastructure in data center space, along with AI proliferation in cloud, networking and industrial automation end markets are major tailwinds. Jabil&#39;s focus on end market and product diversification, coupled with its large-scale global operations, offers a high degree of resilience during times of macroeconomic and geopolitical disruption. Management&#39;s focus on operational efficiency and effective working capital management is boosting profitability and free cash flow.
However, demand softness in several key end markets, including 5G, renewable energy, digital print and healthcare is weighing on net sales. The company&#39;s automotive vertical is also experiencing headwinds as the Chinese automotive market grapples with overcapacity and high inventory levels. Moreover, the launch of new electric vehicle platforms has been postponed by several quarters. These factors are likely to have impeded revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The company&#39;s strategy to move away from less prospective markets by restructuring and reshaping its portfolio will impact top-line growth in the near term.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the DMS vertical is pegged at $3.384 billion, indicating a decline from $4.436 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Revenues from the EMS vertical are pegged at $3.169 billion, implying a downtrend from $4.022 billion in the year-ago quarter.
For the August quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $6.573 billion, which indicates a decline from the year-ago quarter&#39;s tally of $8.458 billion. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.23, suggesting a decrease from $2.45 reported in the prior-year quarter.
<h2>Earnings Whispers</h2>
Our proven model doesn&#39;t conclusively predict an earnings beat for Jabil this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP, which represents the difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, is -0.22%.

Zacks Rank: Jabil currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

<h2>Stocks to Consider</h2>
Here are some companies you may want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this season:
Accenture (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acn#NYSE">ACN</a>) is set to release its quarterly numbers on Sept. 26. It has an Earnings ESP of +0.37% and a Zacks Rank #2.
The Earnings ESP for Carnival (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ccl#NYSE">CCL</a>) stands at +2.99%. The company carries a Zacks Rank of 3. It is scheduled to report quarterly numbers on Sept. 30.
The Earnings ESP for Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cost#NASDAQ">COST</a>) stands at +0.62%, and it carries a Zacks Rank of 3. The company is scheduled to report quarterly numbers on Sept. 26.

Transport Workers Union Of America Say Tentative Contract Extension For American Airlines Amts, Fleet Service Workers, Ground Mechanics; Say Agreement With American Airlines Is A Two-year Extension That Goes Goes Into Effect Jan. 1, 2025

Microsoft Corp. (NASDA: MSFT) <a href="https://ambassadors.microsoft.com/xbox/blog/celebrating-the-legacy-and-evolution-of-the-xbox-ambassadors">announced</a> the end of its Xbox Ambassadors program.
Starting today, the program will begin winding down, with a complete shutdown scheduled for Oct. 15, 2024. Ambassadors have until that date to claim any remaining rewards and codes.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/03/31497636/xbox-invests-in-underrepresented-developers-to-expand-gaming-industry-reach">Xbox Invests In Underrepresented Developers To Expand Gaming Industry Reach</a>
The Xbox Ambassadors initiative was designed to promote inclusivity, safety, and fun within the gaming community. 
While participants were not Microsoft employees, they played a vital role in representing the Xbox brand. To qualify, Ambassadors needed to meet certain requirements, such as maintaining a minimum Gamerscore of 1,500 and being at least 17 years old. 
These standout community members were often rewarded with exclusive digital and physical items, editorial spotlights and access to sweepstakes.
&#8220;We have learned so much from this passionate group,&#8221; Microsoft said in its official announcement. However, the company cited the evolving nature of the Xbox brand as the reason behind the program&#8217;s closure, with plans to shift community engagement strategies moving forward.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Changes And New Directions For Xbox Engagement</h1>
The company hinted at future plans for expanding its engagement programs, particularly through its Xbox Rewards and Xbox Research initiatives.
&#8220;Players are finding more value in engaging with us in other ways that allow them to live our community values of making Xbox a place where everyone can have fun,&#8221; Microsoft said in its statement. 
This shift will see greater emphasis on other programs like Xbox Fanfest and the Xbox Insider Program, which aim to maintain the community spirit fostered by the Ambassadors.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Tumultuous Year For Microsoft Gaming</h1>
The closure of the Xbox Ambassadors program comes amid a challenging year for Microsoft Gaming. The company, like many others in the gaming industry, has faced waves of layoffs. In January 2024, Xbox cut 1,900 staff, and further reductions followed in May, including the closure of studios like Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks. 
Just last week, another 650 staff members were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40829756/microsoft-cuts-650-xbox-jobs-amid-restructuring-following-activision-blizzard-deal-report">laid off.</a>

A Georgia pharmacy has started selling low-THC medical marijuana to registered patients statewide, despite opposition from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/drug-enforcement-administration">Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).</a>
Vic Johnson, who owns the Living Well Pharmacy in Augusta, <a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/health-news/independent-georgia-pharmacy-is-dispensing-medical-marijuana-defying-dea-warning/ZML4KLIPQ5HQDLZ4GIRU27MXLI/">told</a> the Journal-Constitution that selling medical cannabis in pharmacies is "a new frontier."
Why? "I really think pharmacies are an ideal outlet for dispensing medical cannabis because if you come to my pharmacy already, we can talk about what medications you already are taking."
The Georgia Board of Pharmacy started accepting applications from nearly 120 pharmacies to provide medical marijuana products in October, making it the first state in the nation to allow the sale of low-dose cannabis at independent drug stores. The move came four years after the Georgia legislature legalized low-THC medical marijuana in 2019.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20133836/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-33.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-558952" /></a></figure>
Botanical Sciences LLC and Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>), which were the first cannabis businesses to launch medical cannabis sales statewide in 2023, were given the green light to supply pharmacies with products.

If you're serious about the business, you can't afford to miss out.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DEA Is Against It</h3>
The DEA sent warning letters to pharmacies involved in the state&#8217;s medical marijuana program shortly after, cautioning against dispensing THC. Even though the DEA's move prompted concerns among industry stakeholders about potential obstacles to the expansion of medical marijuana access for patients statewide, the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission (GMCC) maintained its stance.

"I want patients to know that we are well on our way to fully implement the Hope Act [Harnessing Opportunities by Pursuing Expungement Act]," GMCC chair Sid Johnson said. "We will continue to pursue our mission of ensuring access to medical cannabis for all patients across Georgia."
Johnson's pharmacy was earlier approved by the Georgia Board of Pharmacy to dispense low-THC oil to Richmond County's registered patients. He said his pharmacy got the green light to sell medical cannabis gummies, tinctures, cremes or capsules that contain 5% THC or marijuana compound in late August.
"I think our customers feel more comfortable buying this product through a pharmacy where records are kept, and we know their medical history," Johnson <a href="https://augustabusinessdaily.com/local-pharmacy-creating-a-buzz-with-thc-sales/">told</a> Augusta Business Daily. "The other benefit is that the purchases for these products are kept separate from other prescriptions we fill."

The FITB stock closed slightly lower at $43.64, gaining nearly 18% over the past six months. It has outperformed its industry, the S&amp;P 500 Index and its close peers like Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cma#NYSE">CMA</a>) and Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bac#NYSE">BAC</a>) in the same time frame.

<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/f3/78671.jpg?v=1259988145" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h2>Key Drivers Behind FITB Stock&#39;s New 52-Week High</h2>
A major factor for this upward movement of FITB stock can be attributed to the Federal Reserve&#39;s aggressive start to monetary policy easing.
On Wednesday, the central bank signaled two additional rate cuts this year to support the economy. Fed officials further indicated plans for four more cuts in 2025 and two in 2026.
The interest rate cut is a positive development for banks, including Fifth Third, CMA and BAC, which have been struggling with rising funding cost pressures. While higher rates have led to a significant jump in banks&#39; net interest income (NII) the same led to increased funding costs, which squeezed margins.
FITB&#39;s NII has witnessed a three-year (2020-2023) compound annual growth rate of 6.8%. However, the company&#39;s NII declined in the first half of 2024 due to higher funding costs.
So now that the Fed has cut the rates, funding costs will gradually stabilize and eventually start declining, thus supporting FITB&#39;s NII.
<h2>Other Factors Supporting FITB&#39;s Performance</h2>
Raised Guidance: At the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference, FITB raised its third-quarter 2024 outlook. The bank stated that total revenues are now expected to rise 2-3% sequentially in the third quarter from its baseline of $2.2 billion compared with the previous guidance of a 1-2% increase. Also, management updated its non-interest income, now expecting a 3-4% increase from its baseline of $717 million, up from the earlier projection of a 1-2% rise.
Strategic Collaborations: The company has been expanding its embedded payments platform on the back of strategic partnerships, positioning itself for substantial growth in the commercial payments space. Fifth Third&#39;s embedded payments platform, Newline, entered into a collaborative agreement with Trustly in September. This collaboration aims to develop its pay-by-bank arrangements and payments made through the Automated Clearing House&nbsp;and Real Time Payments networks.
In July, the bank announced a collaborative agreement between its embedded payments arm, Newline, and Stripe, a financial infrastructure platform, to expand embedded financial services offerings.
In May 2024, in collaboration with Bottomline, Fifth Third launched Enhanced Payables &mdash; a new payment platform powered by the latter&#39;s business payments network, Paymode-X. This partnership offers customers access to a wide range of payment options, including invoice automation, virtual card payments, premium ACH payments, standard ACH payments, check payments and business-to-consumer payments.
Through such strategic collaborations, the bank anticipates commercial payments to be a $1 billion business in the next five years. This will eventually boost the company&#39;s non-interest income growth over time.
Balance Sheet: The bank has a strong liquidity position. As of June 30, 2024, the company had a total debt (long-term debt and other short-term borrowings) of $19.7 billion and total liquidity (cash and due from banks and other short-term investments) of $23.9 billion. The company&#39;s senior debt enjoyed investment-grade credit ratings of BBB+, A- and Baa1 from Standard &amp; Poor&#39;s, Fitch and Moody&#39;s, respectively. This will likely enable the company to access the debt market at favorable rates.
Impressive Capital Distribution: The company is expected to keep enhancing shareholder value through efficient capital distribution.&nbsp; This month, the company announced a 5.7% rise in quarterly dividend to 37 cents per share. It has increased its dividend five times in the last five years. At present, the company has a dividend payout ratio of 40% with an annualized dividend growth rate of 8.55%.
Similarly, BAC hiked quarterly dividends by 8.3% in July to 26 cents, while CMA has kept its dividend payouts steady at 71 cents per share since February 2023.&nbsp;
In addition to dividends, the company has an impressive share repurchase plan. FITB repurchased 3.5 million of its outstanding common shares in the first half of 2024 as part of the 100-million-share repurchase plan announced on June 18, 2019. As of June 30, 2024, 28.6 million shares remain available under the authorization. Going forward, the company expects to repurchase $200 million worth of shares for each remaining quarter of 2024. Such efforts will enhance shareholder value in the long term.
<h2>Few Concerns Prevail for FITB</h2>
Mounting Expenses: Fifth Third&#39;s non-interest expense saw a five-year CAGR of 2.8%, ending 2023. In the first half of 2024, the non-interest expenses remained flat compared with the same period of last year. Higher compensation and benefits expenses, as well as initiatives, such as branch expansion and digitization, will keep the company&#39;s expense base under pressure in the short term.
Limited Loan Portfolio Diversification: The company&#39;s loan portfolio comprises majorly of commercial loans (61.6% of total portfolio loans and leases as of June 30, 2024). The current rapidly changing macroeconomic backdrop may put some strain on commercial lending. Moreover, in case of any economic downturn, the asset quality of these credit categories might deteriorate. Thus, the lack of loan portfolio diversification is likely to hurt the company&#39;s financials if the economic situation worsens.
<h2>Final Words on FITB</h2>
FITB&#39;s inorganic expansion efforts and a robust balance sheet position, along with the Fed&#39;s recent rate cut, are set to support FITB&#39;s financials in the upcoming period.

<h2>Unlocking Valuation</h2>

Though the rising expense and lack of diversification in its loan portfolio remain near-term concerns, FITB&#39;s long-term prospects remain bright.
Considering its expensive valuation, prospective investors can keep this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock on their radar and can wait for a better entry point.

FITB Stock Hits 52-Week High on Fed Rate Cut: Is It Worth Retaining?

Jesus Christ and his apostles could have used a cannabis-based anointing oil to help heal people with disabling diseases. A study exploring biblical texts has sparked a provocative discussion about the potential use of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-news">cannabis</a> in ancient religious practices, specifically those associated with Jesus and his disciples. This research indicates that cannabis was likely a key ingredient in the anointing oils used during biblical times, supporting claims that Jesus may have utilized the plant for its medicinal properties.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis In Biblical Anointing Oils</h3>
According to Chris Bennett, <a href="https://archive.hightimes.com/article/2003/2/1/was-jesus-a-stoner">writing</a> for High Times, the substance known as kaneh-bosem, referenced in scripture, is now believed to be cannabis extract. Bennett cites various scholars who support this claim, suggesting that the oils used for anointing during Jesus&#8217; time contained this potent substance. "There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion," Carl Ruck, a professor of classical mythology at Boston University, told The Guardian. Ruck elaborated: "Obviously the easy availability and long-established tradition of cannabis in early Judaism would inevitably have included it in the [Christian] mixtures."
Bennet recovered the research of Polish anthropologist <a href="https://findingaids.library.nyu.edu/archives/rism_rg_2/">Sula Benet</a>, who in 1936 discovered the translation error in the Old Testament, and then demonstrated in her essays "Tracing One Word Through Different Languages" (1936) and "<a href="https://www.xn--4dbcyzi5a.com/wp-content/PDF/EARLY-DIFFUSION-AND-FOLK-USES-OF-HEMP-SULA-BENET.pdf">Early Diffusions and Folk Uses of Hemp</a>" (1975), that the Hebrew terms "kaneh" and "kaneh-bosm" identified cannabis.

The research posits that the anointing oils not only played a ceremonial role but also served practical healing purposes. Bennett argued that those anointed with these oils were "literally drenched in this potent mixture." While many contemporary cannabis users prefer smoking or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-edibles">ingesting</a> the plant, the ancient method of oil infusion allowed for absorption through the skin, potentially enhancing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/medical-cannabis">therapeutic effects.</a>
Bennett drew connections between these practices and the healing miracles attributed to Jesus in the Gospels, particularly those involving skin and eye diseases. "If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil, and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ," he concluded.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Implications For Modern Perspectives On Cannabis</h3>
This perspective invites a reevaluation of how cannabis is viewed in both historical and contemporary contexts. As public opinion shifts toward more favorable views on cannabis, the implications of these findings could influence discussions about its place in religious and therapeutic practices today.
With ongoing debates about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-legalization">cannabis legalization</a> and its medicinal benefits, the intersection of ancient traditions and modern science may help reshape conversations surrounding this historically significant plant.

Was Cannabis The Secret To Jesus' Healing Miracles? Study Uncovers Ancient Remedies

The announcement that Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) is bringing in Elliot Hill as the new CEO could be a positive change given his experience and company tenure, but it raises questions about the company&#8217;s strategy for a turnaround and plans to return to revenue growth.
The Nike Analysts: 
<ul>
<li>Piper Sandler analyst Anna Andreeva maintained a Neutral rating with a $80 price target.</li>
<li>KeyBanc analyst Ashley Owens maintained a Sector Weight rating with no price target.</li>
<li>Stifel analyst Jim Duffy maintained a Hold rating with a $79 price target.</li>
<li>BMO analyst Simeon Siegel reiterated an Outperform rating with a $92 price target.</li>
<li>Truist analyst Joseph Cirello maintained a Hold rating and raised the price target from $81 to $85.</li>
<li>RBC Capital analyst Piral Dadhania maintained a Sector Perform rating with a $75 price target.</li>
<li>JPMorgan analyst Matthew Boss maintained a Neutral rating with an $83 price target.</li>
</ul>
Piper Sandler on NKE: Nike's announcement is a positive for the stock, Andreeva said in a new investor note.
"This removes an overhang in leadership and creates a potentially interesting setup with the Investor Day in November," Andreeva said.
The analyst said that the announcement came sooner than expected, adding that a CEO with deep company experience could positively impact the company culture.
While the news is positive for the stock, Andreeva said Nike could stay "range-bound" until more color is provided on the company's new strategy.
KeyBanc on NKE: With a combined 32 years of experience in various roles at Nike, Hill could play a key role in driving growth at the company, Owens said.
"We view Hill's longstanding connection with the company and expertise within the marketing scope as encouraging, as NKE examines reinvigorating brand storytelling," Owens said.
Stifel on NKE: Bringing back a long-time Nike insider is viewed as a positive by Duffy.
"Recent underperformance is a direct result of losing focus on what has made Nike great for so many years," Duffy said. "Under Mr. Hill's leadership, we hope to see a revitalization of the Nike culture and a renaissance in innovation and design."
The analyst warns that changing CEOs can reset financial forecasts, trigger periods of product revitalization, and potentially lead to additional management changes.
Duffy added that timing the change ahead of Nike's November Investor Day is "purposefully" planned and could offer a clearer view of the company&#8217;s future direction.
BMO Capital on NKE: The hiring of Hill could bring an immediate morale boost to Nike thanks to being well-liked by employees and retail partners, Siegel said in a new investor note.
The analyst said that CEO changes often take time to yield results, but Hill could help Nike regain success in areas such as product development and marketing.
"A new CEO changes the dynamic for the upcoming analyst day and we believe breathes new life and hope into a semi-abandoned blue-chip company in an environment where investors are looking for exactly that," Siegel said.

Truist on NKE: Cirello cautions that the near-term upside for Nike could be limited after shares jumped on news of Hill's hiring.
The analyst said shares trade at price to earnings multiples of 25X or higher for fiscal year 2025 and 2026 estimates, "despite no projected revenue growth."
A leadership change could offer a better chance at a turnaround, but could be a long process, Cirello added.
"We view the move as a step in the right direction that can help reinvigorate the brand and improve sentiment on the stock, given that Mr. Hill is very well-respected and knows the business well from his 32-year Nike tenure," Cirello said.
Cirello said there could be "a long road ahead with a lot of potential bumps in the road."
RBC Capital on NKE: Given the recent struggles in share price, the announcement of a new CEO at Nike is a welcome development, Dadhania said in a recent investor note.
"Nike CEO change is unlikely to surprise the market, given investor discontent with the overall management and direction of the business in recent years, as well as increasing competition from newer players and incumbents," Dadhania said.
The analyst said Hill understands Nike's history, Nike's culture and the sportswear market, which could be a winning combination.
"We think this was the icing on the cake that the Nike bulls have been waiting for."
Goldman Sachs on NKE: Roach said in a note Thursday that Hill's background with Nike could be a key strength in helping with the company's turnaround.
"We are encouraged by today's announcement and are pleased that NKE's next CEO has a deep-rooted understanding of NKE culture, storytelling, and marketplace," Roach said.
Hill's comment on looking forward to delivering bold and innovative products caught the attention of the analyst and could be a positive ahead of the Investor Day.
"We look for initial thoughts from Mr. Hill regarding his initial priorities and an articulation of the updated NKE strategy, including channel and marketplace, innovation, demand creation, and opportunities to accelerate momentum in a competitive marketplace."
JPMorgan on NKE: Elliott's expertise and leadership style were credited with winning the CEO job, Boss said.
The analyst highlighted Nike's history with long-tenured managers as part of "the old guard."
"This represents a shift back to a seasoned Nike veteran as CEO with Hill having spent more than 32 years at Nike in various leadership roles, akin to Chairman and former CEO Mark Parker's resume of spending 27 years at Nike prior to his CEO appointment in 2006," Boss said.
Parker helped Nike produce high-single-digit revenue growth and mid-teens earnings per share growth, the analyst added.
NKE Price Action: Nike shares are up 6% to $86.17 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $70.75 to $123.39. Nike stock is down 19% year-to-date in 2024.
