Canaccord Genuity Maintains Buy on Lovesac, Maintains $36 Price Target

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could have an exciting October to remember with third-quarter earnings, third-quarter deliveries and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808924/tesla-robotaxi-event-to-be-held-in-los-angeles-on-1010-says-senior-company-exec-existing-shareholder">its Robotaxi Day.</a>
An analyst said investors should focus on deliveries before robotaxis.
The Tesla Analyst: Canaccord Genuity analyst George Gianarikas has a Buy rating with a $254 price target on Tesla.

The Analyst Takeaways: Tesla's third-quarter delivery figures will come before its Robotaxi Day and should be the current focus from investors, Gianarikas said in an investor note titled "business before pleasure."
"Robotaxi. It's going to be a big day — bigger than the Catalina wine mixer. But before that, we have some business to attend to — the 3Q24 delivery announcement," Gianarikas said.
The analyst is lowering third-quarter delivery estimates after looking at global data.
"Despite modestly adjusting our delivery projections downward, Tesla's performance has remained relatively healthy."
Tesla's margins could also be lower in the third quarter with the company using "aggressive packages" to help with demand, the analyst added.
Gianarikas' third-quarter delivery estimate is 469,200. That&#8217;s down from a previous estimate of 480,000. The analyst's estimate is higher than a consensus estimate of 458,000 deliveries in the quarter, according to the report.
"We see the continued momentum in China and attractive financing options being offered around the world as key drivers to our estimates,&#8221; he added. 
The analyst is leaving fourth-quarter delivery estimates of 552,000 vehicles in place until the third-quarter results are announced. "Two factors drive this forecast, he says. First, since 2019, Tesla has averaged a &#8220;20.4% q/q gain between 3Q and 4Q.&#8221; Second, new vehicles could launch by the end of the year.
For the full year, the analyst sees Tesla delivering 1.85 million vehicles, down from a previous estimate of 1.86 million.
For the third-quarter financial results, the analyst lowers non-GAAP earnings per share estimates from 98 cents to 75 cents per share.
What's Next: Tesla reported second-quarter deliveries on July 2 and first-quarter on deliveries on April 2, putting third-quarter figures on pace for October 2.
The company expects to report third-quarter financial results in October, likely after the Robotaxi Day on Oct. 11. This all sets up for a huge October for the electric vehicle giant.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock trades at $228.97 versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $278.98. Tesla stock is down 8% year-to-date in 2024.

Tesla Analyst Says 'Business Before Pleasure' With Third Quarter Deliveries Report Ahead Of Robotaxi Day

Microsoft Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) latest round of gaming layoffs has impacted key teams at Activision Blizzard, with those behind Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile and Warcraft Rumble <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40829756/microsoft-cuts-650-xbox-jobs-amid-restructuring-following-activision-blizzard-deal-report">bearing the brunt. </a>
These layoffs, numbering 650, follow an earlier cut of 1,900 employees this year, bringing the total to 2,550 since Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of the gaming giant.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40840369/microsofts-new-xbox-game-pass-tiers-which-games-will-you-lose">Microsoft&#8217;s New Xbox Game Pass Tiers: Which Games Will You Lose?</a>
While Xbox head Phil Spencer assured employees that no games were canceled or studios closed, reports indicate the teams working on Activision Blizzard's mobile titles have been affected. <a href="https://www.gamefile.news/p/microsoft-gaming-layoffs-xbox-650">According</a> to Game File, both Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile and Warcraft Rumble development teams saw significant cuts.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Mobile Gaming Troubles At Activision Blizzard</h1>
Released in March 2024, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile was touted as a mobile extension of the successful Warzone franchise, with features like battle royale gameplay for up to 120 players and cross-progression with console and PC versions of Warzone, Modern Warfare 2 and the upcoming Black Ops 6.
Despite these innovations, the mobile title has not met the company's high expectations. Game File's Stephen Totilo pointed out that Warzone Mobile "didn&#8217;t hit as big as hoped," leading to a reduction in the game's team size, though the title will remain online.
This is a notable development considering the success of Call of Duty Mobile, developed by Tencent Holdings ADR&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) TiMi Studio Group, which garnered over 650 million downloads since its launch.
With Warzone Mobile being developed in-house at Activision, the company aimed for greater financial returns, as it wouldn't have to share revenue with Tencent. However, the results suggest that the game's potential in the competitive mobile shooter market has fallen short.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Warcraft Rumble Team Also Impacted</h1>
Similarly, Warcraft Rumble, a free-to-play mobile tower defense game, launched in 2023 with initial success. But, according to internal reports, interest in the game has waned, pushing it into a quieter post-launch live operations phase. The layoffs have hit the game's team, reflecting the shifting priorities as Microsoft recalibrates its mobile gaming focus under Activision Blizzard.
In a memo sent to employees, Spencer hinted at these changes without directly naming the titles, saying, "there are some impacts to other teams as they adapt to shifting priorities and manage the lifecycle and performance of games."
Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard was in part motivated by its ambitions in the mobile gaming market, particularly through Activision's ownership of King, the developer behind Candy Crush. However, the recent struggles of both Warzone Mobile and Warcraft Rumble call into question the company's mobile-first strategy.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Microsoft?</h1>
The company is set to launch Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 this October, which will be the first mainline Call of Duty title available on Game Pass from day one. 
In addition, there are heavy rumors of an Xbox handheld console in development, and plans for next-generation Xbox consoles are already in motion. The company's next big release, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, is scheduled for PC and Xbox this December, with a PlayStation 5 release to follow shortly after.
While layoffs are never easy, especially for those affected, Microsoft's overall gaming business remains robust. In the last quarter, gaming content sales surged, largely due to the integration of Activision Blizzard's titles, helping offset declining hardware sales. 
The latest financial report revealed a 44% year-over-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/07/40081075/microsoft-reports-sharp-decline-in-xbox-hardware-sales-for-q4-but-theres-a-silver-lining">increase in gaming revenue</a>, with a 61% rise in content and services revenue, both driven by the addition of Activision Blizzard's portfolio.
The pressure is now on Microsoft to prove that its lofty $69 billion investment can deliver sustained growth, particularly as it grapples with challenges in the mobile sector.

Lithium Co. Receives Approval for Final Exploration Reports

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40772554/tether-invests-100m-in-agricultural-giant-adecoagro-expands-beyond-bitcoin-mining-ai-inves">Stablecoin issuer Tether</a> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) Friday announced that it has appointed Jesse Spiro as its new Head of Government Affairs.
What Happened: This <a href="https://tether.io/news/industry-leader-jesse-spiro-joins-tether-as-head-of-government-affairs/">move</a> comes as the company continues to face regulatory challenges and scrutiny in the United States.
Spiro, who previously served as Head of Regulatory Relations for PayPal&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NYSE">PYPL</a>) Blockchain and Digital Currencies Business, brings over six years of experience in government and regulatory relations within the blockchain space. 
Prior to his role at PayPal, Spiro was the Chief Government Affairs Officer at blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.
The appointment comes at a critical time for Tether. 
Despite its recent financial success, with <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/66e3f6cc9263a26e80557f89/">reported</a> profits of $6.2 billion in 2023 surpassing those of investment giant BlackRock, the company continues to face questions about its operations and reserve backing.
Tether&#8217;s market capitalization has grown significantly over the past year, rising from $83 billion to $118 billion.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/27091545/Benzinga-conference.gif" alt="Benzinga future of digital assets conference" class="wp-image-267246" /></a></figure>

However, this growth has been accompanied by increased regulatory attention. 
The company&#8217;s high profit margins and management expense ratio of 5.2% on its tokenized money market fund have raised eyebrows in both the crypto industry and regulatory circles.
In his new role, Spiro will be tasked with leading Tether&#8217;s policy and engagement efforts with lawmakers, regulators and key stakeholders.
&#8220;The ever-evolving legislative and regulatory landscape will continue to require strong collaboration between the public and private sectors,&#8221; Spiro stated in the company&#8217;s press release. His focus on education and engagement signals Tether&#8217;s intention to address ongoing regulatory concerns proactively.
What&#8217;s Next: Those interested in exploring the intersection of cryptocurrency and traditional finance further may want to attend Benzinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, where industry leaders and regulators are expected to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing companies like Tether in the current regulatory environment.

Tether Hires PayPal Veteran Jesse Spiro As Regulatory Scrutiny Continues

I do this little exercise a couple of times a year on average.
I am going to tell you something that flies in the face of everything you believe about investing.
If you took investing and finance classes in college, this little experiment would make your professor mad enough to spit.
If you are a true believer in indexing, you will hate my little experiment.
If you think that trading in and out of whatever is hot today is the way to go, then this little experience will make you angry at yourself, mostly for spending so much time in front of a screen screaming at little blips that refuse to dance across it in the manner you prefer.
Keep in mind that stress and sitting are the new smoking and gravy, and you are consuming mass quantities of both on a regular basis.
If you are a member in good standing of the Church of Buffettology, you will not care too much about the results, either.
Let me begin with a statement that is bound to stir some controversy…
Value investing is NOT dead.
It was never even a little under the weather.
The fact is that value investing, as Ben Graham conceived it, a young Warren Buffett practiced it, and Joel Greenblatt used it before he became a bestselling author and ETF purveyor, is alive and well.
Here is another fact that the traditionalists among us may not adore:
Maximizing the return from deep-value stocks is not necessarily a buy-and-hold affair.
There are two elements to achieving maximum returns as an individual investor practicing a deep value approach:
<ol start="1">
<li>Credit</li>
<li>Valuation</li>
</ol>
Our approach is simple: We will buy companies with excellent fundamentals and a strong credit profile.
We are only going to buy these companies when they trade below tangible book value. That leaves out goodwill premiums, brand value, trademarks, and other esoteric assets that are not in the physical realm.
It is the value of all the stuff a company owns minus what it owes.
We will pay a discount to that value for our shares, and the bigger the discount, the better.
If the business&#8217;s fundamentals begin to deteriorate or the credit profile weakens, we will sell the stock and move on.
If the stock trades above book value, we will take our profits and move on.
We will prune our portfolio once a month, and we will be ruthless.
There will be no &#8220;It will get better&#8221; or &#8220;Let&#8217;s see how much higher it can go.&#8221;
A stock meets the conditions, or it is sold.
Over the last decade, $1 in the S&amp;P 500 has turned into $3.62.
Using our ruthless deep value strategy, that same dollar becomes $7.05.
Over 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 25 years, the deep value approach has crushed the indexes.
During the lost decade of 2000-2010, when index and technology investors struggled to break even, you would have multiplied your money by 20x.
You will average about 25 stocks in your portfolio.
Unlike the buy-and-hold-forever club, you will sell and replace 5 or 6 of those most months.
Why isn&#8217;t everyone a ruthless deep value investor?
It is boring.
You will never own the most exciting stocks.
You will trade once a month. Not every day. Not every hour. Once a month.
Right now, the hot stocks are the Magnificent Seven. These are outstanding companies that are going to play a role in reshaping the world via artificial intelligence.
Meme stocks are flying around your screen like a pinball every minute of the trading day.
The chat room is alive with talk of looming FDA decisions and imminent merger announcements.
Bill Gates is buying this penny stock that is developing flying cars that cure cancer while you drive around town.
None of this will be part of your day as a ruthless deep value investor.
If you go into a chat room and discuss the iron ore and steel companies you just bought, you will be laughed off the screen.
Bragging about the furniture manufacturer you just snapped up for less than book value is likely to cost you your day trader card.
Last year at this time, they would have been bored silly when you told them about the two hand tool manufacturers you picked up for less than asset value.
They may have paid more attention when you told them they were both taken over in just a few months and doubled your money.
Do I think that telling you this will make a bunch of you become ruthless value investors?
You should, but I doubt that I will gain a flood of converts.
Truth be told, a non-zero number of you fell asleep when the word &#8220;value&#8221; appeared in the conversation for the first time.
What I hope I managed to achieve is to wake you up to the idea that there are far more profitable ways to invest and even trade your money than being a part of the mainstream retail crowd.
We will discuss more strategies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-checkout/?t=be8be9spmirebz40&amp;utm_source=RD-0913">HERE</a> for using momentum, quality, growth factors, and value to balance your path to extraordinary profits.

<h2>How Are Analyst Ratings Determined?</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.
