Looking At PENN Entertainment's Recent Unusual Options Activity

<p><a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/09/23/democrats-republicans-emergency-abortion-bill">https://www.axios.com/2024/09/23/democrats-republicans-emergency-abortion-bill</a></p>
<p>Top Senate Democrats will force Republicans to vote on access to emergency abortion care this week, in one of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)'s final pre-election messaging pushes, Axios has learned.</p>
<p><strong>The big picture:</strong> <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/09/17/georgia-abortion-death-democrats">The death of a Georgia woman</a> who was refused emergency care because of the state's abortion restrictions has become the latest rallying cry for Democrats who are wagering abortion will be a winning issue for their party on Nov. 5.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), will seek unanimous consent Tuesday to pass a resolution she introduced last week affirming that every person has a right to emergency health care, including abortion care.</li>
<li>Murray's move will force Republicans to either block the measure or pass it.</li>
<li>Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) also will seek unanimous consent Tuesday on a bill that would offset travels costs for people seeking abortion care.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Catch up quick: </strong>An investigation published by <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death">ProPublica</a> last week highlighted the circumstances of Amber Nicole Thurman's 2022 death — the first publicly reported death caused by delayed abortion care.</p>
<p><strong>Zoom in: </strong>The maneuvers represent Senate Democrats' parting shots in their messaging <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/09/18/senate-republicans-border-laken-riley-bill-katie-britt">war with with Republicans</a> before lawmakers go home to campaign ahead of Election Day.</p>
<ul>
<li>Schumer will join a press conference at the Capitol Tuesday focused on access to emergency reproductive care.</li>
<li>Senate Democrats have made abortion access their most prominent campaign issue, forcing Republicans this month <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/09/12/schumer-trump-ivf-vote-senate">to block a bill</a> promoting universal IVF coverage.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Schumer has used the Senate floor to <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/06/05/senate-gop-mcconnell-thune-political-vote-2024-election">go on offense</a> against Republicans over everything from reproductive rights to gun control in the run-up to the election.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Zoom out: </strong>Senate Republicans have blocked similar attempts from Democrats in the past few months, and there is little reason to believe the outcome will be different this time around.</p>
<ul>
<li>Abortion access will be a top issue in a number of states where Schumer is trying to protect incumbents so he can retain his majority.</li>
<li>There also will be abortion measures on the ballot in Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Montana and Nevada — all states where Schumer is trying either to flip or keep a seat.</li>
</ul>

What Happened With Palantir Stock Today?

<p><strong>Amkor Technology</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amkr#NASDAQ">AMKR</a>) shares have lost 17.7% in the past three months, underperforming the Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry and the S&amp;P 500 index&#39;s return of 2.2% and 4.2%, respectively. The underperformance is attributable to a myriad of challenges that are keeping the investors away.</p>
<p>Throughout the past year, Amkor struggled with supply chain disruption caused by geopolitical tension and faced macroeconomic challenges caused by high inflation and interest rates. The outsourced semiconductor packaging and test services (OSAT) leader also suffered from the shortage of semiconductors, keeping its top and bottom lines constrained.</p>
<p>In the previous quarter, AMKR reported that it was still suffering from the slow recovery of automotive and industrial space, along with softness in traditional data center client demand. AMKR&#39;s several factories have been reported not to be functioning at full capacity, hence hurting its top-line growth.</p>
<p>Amkor is also suffering from lower demand for its 2.5D integrated circuit caused by the inventory corrections in the automotive and industrial markets. In recent times, Amkor&#39;s operating expenses have also risen due to the construction of a new factory in Vietnam. This has affected its bottom line.</p>
<h3>Amkor Technology Three Month Performance</h3>

<h2>AMKR Faces Stiff Competition in the OSAT Market</h2>
<p>Amkor is a major player in the OSAT space, providing solutions for innovative packaging and test technologies with a solid reputation for high-volume manufacturing. AMKR&#39;s presence in multiple countries in Asia and Europe makes it a global player in the OSAT space. The company partnered with the world&#39;s leading tech giants, including Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, Broadcomm, AMD and many more.</p>
<p>In late 2023, Apple partnered with Amkor as the largest customer of the latter&#39;s manufacturing and packaging facility in Peoria. In this partnership, Amkor was contracted to provide chip packaging solutions to Apple. This partnership grew over their decade-long relationship.</p>
<p>However, Amkor faces stiff competition in the OSAT space from <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsm#NYSE">TSM</a>) and <strong>ASE Technology Holding </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asx#NYSE">ASX</a>).</p>
<p>Both ASE Technology and Taiwan Semiconductor operate in the OSAT space internationally. TSM and ASX have their own fabrication facilities. Although TSM&#39;s primary focus is on chip manufacturing, it has a strong advanced packaging division. ASX, on the other hand, is focused on IC packaging, testing and assembly services with products like System-in-Package and 3D IC technologies.</p>
<p>With all these headwinds, AMKR expects third-quarter fiscal 2024 revenues in the range of $1.785-$1.885 billion (mid-point $1.835 billion), while the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $1.84 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2024 revenues is pegged at $6.51 billion, indicating an improvement of 0.15% year over year.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Amkor is facing macroeconomic challenges, higher operational costs, stiff competition and a slow growth rate due to sluggish recovery in its end markets. Currently, AMKR carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). We suggest investors to sell the stock at present.</p>

Intuitive Surgical Unusual Options Activity For September 23

<p><strong>The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc</strong>. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pnc#NYSE">PNC</a>) and Plaid, a fintech company specializing in data transfer networks, have entered into a bilateral data access agreement. This agreement intends to help PNC customers across the United States to securely and efficiently share their financial data with their preferred financial applications through Plaid.</p>
<p>PNC is utilizing Akoya as its Application Programming Interface service provider to facilitate the secure transfer of customer financial information to authorized data recipients. It is to be noted that the integration of Akoya Data Access Network into PNC Financial&#39;s subsidiary, PNC Bank, was announced in 2021.</p>
<p>PNC Financial and Plaid are pleased to work together to help PNC clients maintain greater control over the tools they utilize to live a stable financial life.</p>
<p>PNC&#39;s agreement with Plaid to enhance customer data security and efficiency comes at a time when other major banks like <strong>Wells Fargo &amp; Company</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wfc#NYSE">WFC</a>) and <strong>U.S. Bancorp</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/usb#NYSE">USB</a>) are also enhancing their API technologies.</p>
<p>Last week, WFC expanded its APIs portfolio with the launch of specialized APIs for its Commercial Banking clients. This automated setup permits effortless data transfer among trading partners, reducing delays in sending and receiving information. In June, USB&#39;s wholly-owned subsidiary, Elavon, launched the Elavon Cloud Payments Interface. This advanced API is intended to simplify managing digital and in-person payment experiences for hotels and other entities related to hospitality.</p>
<h2>PNC&#39;s Management Comments</h2>
<p>Natalie Talpas, executive vice president of Digital and Payments at PNC, said, &quot;PNC&#39;s use of its Akoya-provided API allows for all data recipients, including Plaid, to get connected fast, while also enabling customers to reliably control what financial data they permissions without having to share their login credentials with third parties.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Through this new partnership with Plaid, PNC customers will be able to achieve greater data security, privacy, and control while using the third-party financial apps and services they enjoy&quot; stated Talpas.</p>
<h2>Final Words on PNC&#39;s Latest Agreement</h2>
<p>PNC&#39;s data access agreement with Plaid highlights the bank&#39;s commitment to enhance its digital banking while empowering customers with greater security and control over their financial data.</p>
<p>Such a strategic move to enhance customer data security will further solidify PNC&#39;s customer loyalty and attract new clients seeking advanced secured digital solutions. This could lead to increased transaction volumes and higher revenue streams.</p>
<p>Over the past month, shares of PNC have gained 20.2% compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 8.7%.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
