&nbsp;
<a href="https://variety.com/t/nbcuniversal/">NBCUniversal</a> is looking to wring more money out of <a href="https://variety.com/t/peacock/">Peacock</a> subscribers, with the streamer set to raise prices this summer — <a href="https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/peacock-price-increase-1235672565/">one year after its last fee hike</a>.
Beginning in mid-July, the price for Peacock Premium (with ads) will increase by $2 to $7.99 per month and Peacock Premium Plus (mostly ad-free) is also going up by $2 to $13.99 per month. Peacock Premium's annual price will increase from $59.99 to $79.99, while Premium Plus is going from $119.99 to $139.99 per year.
The new prices will be effective starting July 18 for new Peacock customers and for existing subscribers with their next billing date on or after Aug. 17.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The Peacock Premium Plus tier provides ad-free content, the ability to download episodes and live local NBC channels. Due to streaming rights, per NBCU, a "small amount of programming" still contains ads on some Peacock channels, events, and a few shows and movies.
&nbsp;
As of the <a href="https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/comcast-q1-profit-cord-cutting-peacock-ad-spend-1235981759/">end of the first quarter of 2024</a>, the U.S.-only Peacock service had 34 million subscribers, fewer than rival streamers like Netflix and Disney+. That was up 55% year-over-year and a net gain of 3 million Peacock subs in Q1; average revenue per subscriber in the quarter was $10/month. "Looking ahead, our content offering provides such great value proposition that we should have some real pricing power over time," Comcast president Michael Cavanagh said on the earnings call last week. Cavanagh said Peacock's <a href="https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/peacock-signups-nfl-wild-card-game-chiefs-dolphins-1235885957/">streaming-only NFL Wild Card game between the Chiefs and Dolphins</a> on Jan. 13 resulted in the service adding and then retaining "even more new Peacock subscribers than we expected."
The Peacock price increases demonstrate that NBCU — after introducing low-price and even a free, ad-supported tier when the product launched in 2020 to attract consumers — has refocused on making the direct-to-streaming business profitable. The company last year <a href="https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/peacock-ends-free-tier-nbcuniversal-1235508588/">shut down Peacock's free tier for new users</a> and <a href="https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/comcast-xfinity-subs-losing-peacock-free-access-1235520530/">stopped bundling Peacock Premium for free for Comcast's Xfinity customers</a>.
NBCU touts Peacock's annual lineup of nearly 100,000 programming hours. That includes exclusive streaming windows on Universal movies, next-day NBC and Bravo episodes, Peacock originals, and more than 8,000 hours of live sports. In the first quarter of 2024, Peacock had its most-streamed movie to date — Oscar-winner "Oppenheimer" — as well as its most-streamed original comedy, "Ted," and most-streamed original unscripted series, "The Traitors."
&nbsp;
Recent Peacock originals include series like "Apples Never Fall," "Poker Face," "Bel-Air," "Based on a True Story," "The Best Man: The Final Chapters" and "Twisted Metal." Upcoming titles to premiere this year include "Those About to Die," "Fight Night," "Hysteria" and "Day of the Jackal,"; new seasons of return shows like "Bel-Air" and "Love Island USA" as well as titles from Universal Filmed Entertainment including "The Fall Guy," Illumination's "Despicable Me 4" and "Twisters," following their theatrical runs.
This summer for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, NBCU has boasted that it will deliver more streaming content than ever, with 5,000 hours of coverage. That will include features like Peacock Live Actions and Peacock Discovery Multiview, along with programming like the "Gold Zone" whip-around show and "Watch With Alex Cooper" interactive watch parties. 
In addition, for the 2024 NFL season, Peacock will exclusively stream the Friday night opening game on Sept. 6 between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers live from São Paulo, Brazil. Other exclusive sports content on the streamer includes Premier League soccer, WWE events, Big Ten football and basketball, golf, rugby, cycling, motorsports events and more.

"Peacock Hiking Prices for Second Time In Two Years" - Variety

Restaurants across California are reportedly implementing menu price hikes following the state&#8217;s increase in minimum wage for fast-food workers.
This&nbsp;surge in prices&nbsp;has been observed at various fast-food and fast-casual chains throughout the Golden State, outpacing other regions, according to a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/hospitality/california-fast-food-chains-are-now-serving-sticker-shock-64009282?mod=hp_trending_now_article_pos2" rel="noreferrer noopener">report&nbsp;</a>from the WSJ, which cited market research firm Datassential.
Since September, when California mandated large fast-food chains to elevate their minimum hourly pay to $20 by April, restaurants statewide have collectively increased prices by 10%.
Notably, this increment surpassed the price adjustments seen in other states, according to Datassential&#8217;s analysis of over 70 major chains, the report noted.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>), for instance,&nbsp;disclosed a 6% to 7% price surge at its nearly 500 California locations during the first week of April compared to the previous year.
Chipotle&#8217;s Chief Executive Brian Niccol highlighted the challenges imposed by the state&#8217;s regulations.
In response to the wage law, major fast-food chains like McDonald&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), Jack in the Box Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JACK#NASDAQ">JACK</a>), and Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) have planned to raise prices, estimating significant additional labor costs per restaurant, as per the report.
Despite opposition from some quarters, the wage law remains supported by advocates like California Governor Gavin Newsom. They argue that increased wages will benefit workers and stimulate local economies.
As consumers reassess their spending in light of escalating prices, independent eateries emerge as viable alternatives. The California wage law doesn&#8217;t apply to restaurants with less than 60 national locations.

Clever Leaves Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLVR#NASDAQ">CLVR</a>) shares are trading lower by 62% to $1.56 during Monday&#8217;s session after the company announced that it will voluntarily delist its common shares from the Nasdaq and deregister its Securities to terminate and suspend its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/04/g38470427/clever-leaves-announces-voluntary-delisting-and-sec-deregistration">reporting obligations</a>.
The company notified Nasdaq of its intention and plans to file necessary forms with the SEC on or about May 6, with the last day of trading expected to be around May 16. After delisting, the company will file a Form 15 to suspend its reporting obligations, with the deregistration expected to become effective 90 days after filing. 
The decision reflects the board&#8217;s assessment of various factors, including potential non-compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, personnel resources and high costs associated with regulatory burdens.

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>) shares are trading lower by 2.7% to $167.28 during Monday&#8217;s session after the stock surged last week on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38467488/alphabets-blockbuster-results-highlight-its-transition-from-ai-laggard-to-going-on-">strong earnings</a>.
Alphabet, Google&#8217;s parent company, last announced a 15% year-over-year increase in first-quarter revenue to $80.539 billion, surpassing the expected $78.594 billion. Quarterly earnings stood at $1.89 per share, exceeding analyst predictions of $1.51 per share. 
This marks the fifth consecutive quarter where Alphabet has surpassed analyst estimates in both revenue and earnings&#8230;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38445001/alphabet-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-70b-buyback-first-ever-dividend-ai-leadership-and-more">Read More</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy Alphabet Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Alphabet &#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, or Amazon.com, 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 Alphabet, which is trading at $167.9 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.6 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.

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci will lead a discussion at Benzinga&#8217;s upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/crypto-revolution/">Crypto Revolution: Web3 and the Future of Finance</a> on Tuesday, April 30.
This online event, slated to begin at noon EST, will explore the evolving role of cryptocurrencies and Web3 technologies in reshaping the financial industry, including topics such as decentralized finance, NFTs, and blockchain applications.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who&#8217;s Speaking?</h3>
Scaramucci will be joined by other industry leaders such as Zach Pandl, David Packham, Reid Simon, Jason Barraza, and Joey Garcia. Each expert brings a unique perspective on the digital disruption of financial systems.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vision for a Digital Financial World</h3>
Jason Barraza, COO at Security Token Market, provided insight into the trajectory of asset tokenization, asserting, &#8220;The tokenization of RWAs is poised to become mainstream in the next five to eight years, with multiple asset classes, banks &amp; asset managers, and individual investors all coming on-chain.&#8221; He reflected on the substantial growth over the past six years, foreseeing no slowdown in the trend.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Blending Crypto and Conventional Finance</h3>
Reid Simon, head of credit at Securitize, discussed the emerging synergy between the crypto world and traditional financial institutions. He detailed, &#8220;Today, we&#8217;re seeing unprecedented convergence between two worlds: at the same time as crypto further embraces regulation, traditional institutions—who largely abstained from this roughly $3 trillion market—are now allocating through spot ETFs and tokenized securities in a very big way.&#8221; Simon emphasized Securitize&#8217;s critical role in this transition.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s at Stake?</h3>
The webinar promises a thorough discussion of how digital technologies are forging new paths in finance. It will touch on traditional financial institutions&#8217; acceptance of digital assets and the evolving regulatory frameworks. Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the opportunities and challenges at the intersection of technology and finance. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/crypto-revolution/">Sign up today. </a>
