This Is What Whales Are Betting On Charles Schwab

AXSM

Axsome Therapeutics shares are trading higher after the company reported preliminary Q4 and FY2024 net product revenue. Additionally, Truist Securities raised its price target on the stock from $150 to $180 while maintaining a Buy rating.

ALNY

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals shares are trading higher. The company reported preliminary results.

<p>Market volatility is primed to intensify this week as traders await December's Producer Price Index data on Tuesday. The Consumer Price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation#:~:text=CPI%20rises%202.7%25%20YoY%2C%20matching,inflation%20remains%20high%20at%203.3%25.">Index report will follow on Wednesday.</a></p>
<p>With Wall Street's expectations for interest rate cuts hanging by a thread, stronger-than-expected inflation data could amplify concerns about the Federal Reserve's monetary policy trajectory.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why December's Inflation Data Is Critical</h3>
<p>The PPI measures input price changes faced by producers. It is closely watched as a precursor to consumer price inflation and a barometer of corporate profitability. Rising input prices often signal higher future consumer prices, though companies unable to pass on these costs to consumers may face margin pressures—a key concern as fourth-quarter earnings season kicks off.</p>

<p>In November 2024, PPI rose 3% year-over-year, the highest since February 2023, up from October's 2.6% and beating economist forecasts. Core PPI, which excludes food and energy, climbed 3.4% annually, also above expectations. </p>
<p>The result rattled markets: </p>
<ul>
<li>The S&amp;P 500 — as tracked by the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — falling 0.6%</li>
<li>The Nasdaq 100, tracked by the <strong>Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), slipped 0.7% on the release date.</li>
</ul>
<p>High impact on volatility, as expectations for interest rates are now extremely sensitive on upcoming inflation data. This is so because the December labor market report confirmed a robust and strong job market, pushing many Wall Street analysts to revise their outlook for interest rate cuts.</p>
<p>Economists expect December's report to show continued inflationary pressures. PPI is forecast to rise from 3% to 3.4% year-over-year. Core PPI is projected to accelerate from 3.4% to 3.7%. On a month-over-month basis, overall PPI is expected to slightly decelerate from 0.4% to 0.3%. Core PPI is seen ticking higher from 0.2% to 0.3%.</p>
<p>"December's CPI and PPI are likely to show core consumer services inflation remains stuck well above 2.0%," said veteran Wall Street analyst <strong>Ed Yardeni</strong> on Monday. </p>
<p>On Friday, Bank of America's economist <strong>Aditya Bhave</strong> highlighted the risk of persistent inflation and resilient labor market as factors forcing the Fed to hold rates higher for longer, potentially shifting focus from cuts to hikes.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Yields And Weak Stocks Reflect Fed Uncertainty</h3>
<p>The December labor market report, which showed continued strength with a robust jobs market, has already led several Wall Street analysts to revise their interest rate expectations. </p>
<p>Markets are now pricing in a longer period of higher rates, with Fed cuts pushed further out into the future.</p>
<p>These shifting expectations have weighed heavily on stocks and bonds. </p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 has fallen over 5% in the past month, including a 3% drop last week. Tech stocks have been hit harder, with the Nasdaq 100 down 7% from mid-December highs.</p>
<p>Bond markets tell a similar story. Treasury yields have surged, dragging bond prices lower. The <strong>iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) has fallen more than 10% since early December, entering correction territory.</p>
<p>December's inflation reports will be a key test for Wall Street's fragile expectations of interest rates. </p>
<p>As inflation remains stubbornly high, the Fed's path forward is becoming increasingly uncertain, keeping investors on alert for any macro-related update.</p>

Tuesday's Producer Inflation Report Could Stoke Market Volatility As Fed Path Remains Unclear

<p><strong>Needham </strong>analyst John Todaro reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of <strong>Hut 8 Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>) and maintained a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUT" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $38.00.</a></p>
<p>The analyst thinks HUT stands out as the most diversified mining company and is now entering a phase focused on enhancing mining margins through efficiency improvements, implementing significant plans in HPC along with a strong project pipeline, and trading at a relatively low price.</p>
<p>The analyst anticipates several key catalysts for 2025, including expected updates on HPC lease(s) in the first half of the year and a recent zoning modification approval that paves the way for the construction of HUT&#8217;s Louisiana data center.</p>
<p>According to the analyst, HUT is poised for significant margin improvements in 2025, as the company has made progress in three critical areas of its bitcoin mining operations.</p>
<p>Reducing overall energy costs across its site portfolio from the 4s to the 3s, upgrading its fleet with more efficient miners, which requires capital expenditure but improves mining economics, and leveraging operational efficiencies by increasing its hash rate while keeping general and administrative expenses stable.</p>
<p>On November 25, 2024, HUT submitted a proposal to construct a 300MW Tier III data center located 35 miles from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The site presents potential for future expansion up to 1GW, with plans to lease the facility to a hyperscale tenant.</p>
<p>In addition to its short-term plans, it&#8217;s important to highlight that HUT has a substantial power pipeline, one of the largest in comparison to other bitcoin miners within the analyst&#8217;s coverage.</p>
<p>The analyst is projecting 200MW of revenue-generating critical IT capacity for 2026, contingent on finalizing customer agreements by early 2025.</p>
<p>To meet this timeline, HUT would need to secure a hyperscaler tenant agreement promptly (by first-quarter or early second-quarter 2025), said the analyst.</p>
<p>At market rental rates, the lease for 200MW could generate approximately $400 million in annual revenue and $200-270 million in adjusted EBITDA, noted the analyst.</p>
<p>The analyst&#8217;s price target is derived from a 15.5x multiple applied to discounted EV/adj. EBITDA estimate, which is slightly higher than the peer average.</p>
<p>The analyst believes this premium is justified due to the upcoming HPC opportunities, a strong project pipeline, and an expectation that HUT will emerge as one of the lowest-cost bitcoin producers in 2025 and 2026.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action</strong>: HUT shares are trading lower by 6.71% at $21.83 at the last check Monday.</p>
