&nbsp;
After years of lobbying by the crypto industry, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has rescinded an accounting rule that forced banks to treat <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/BTC.CM=/">bitcoin</a> and other tokens as a liability on their balance sheets.
The guidance was a major deterrent to Wall Street banks owning bitcoin — and was the latest in a string of actions taken by the new Trump administration to make it easier for U.S. companies and financial firms to deal in virtual, decentralized currencies.
&nbsp;
The guidance, known as Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, or SAB 121, was introduced in 2022 and subjected digital assets to strict capital requirements. The measure, which significantly raised the financial and regulatory risks of offering crypto custody services, boosted operational costs for financial institutions and ultimately discouraged broader participation by Wall Street in crypto markets.
Efforts to overturn SAB 121 gained bipartisan support in Congress last year. But&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/joe-biden/">then-President Joe Biden</a>&nbsp;vetoed the proposed legislation, leaving the rule intact and further discouraging banks from adopting digital assets. Banks have been largely forbidden from expanding their crypto offerings beyond derivatives trading and offering ETFs to wealth management clients.
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, who <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/21/trumps-sec-launching-crypto-task-force-to-develop-clear-regulations-for-industry.html">on Tuesday</a> was tapped to lead a new "crypto task force" within the agency aimed at "developing a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for crypto assets," praised the announcement.
"Bye, bye SAB 121! It's not been fun," she wrote in a <a href="https://x.com/HesterPeirce/status/1882562977985114185">post on X</a> late Thursday night following the decision.
The SEC's decision to revoke the rule was announced in a <a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/staff-guidance/staff-accounting-bulletins/staff-accounting-bulletin-122">public notice</a>, just days after Gary Gensler, a former SEC Chair and vocal supporter of the measure, stepped down from his role. Gensler had defended the rule as necessary to protect investors in the event of crypto firm bankruptcies.
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/24/trump-crypto-plans-have-wall-street-ceos-excited-about-digital-assets.html">This week</a> in Davos, Switzerland, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/GS/">Goldman Sachs</a>&nbsp;CEO David Solomon told CNBC that from a regulatory perspective, the bank couldn't own bitcoin and that it would revisit the issue if the rules changed. The CEOs of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/MS/">Morgan Stanley</a> and <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/BAC/">Bank of America</a> also weighed in from the World Economic Forum on how President <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/donald-trump/">Donald Trump</a>'s pro-crypto tone could reshape their plans and potentially lead to expanded digital offerings.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing PROCEPT BioRobotics's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PROCEPT BioRobotics's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.01%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Dana Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAN#NYSE">DAN</a>) shares traded higher on Friday after the company disclosed FY24 preliminary results, FY25 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43187369/dana-incorporated-provides-business-update-announces-preliminary-full-year-2024-financial-results-" rel="noreferrer noopener">outlook and provided a business update</a>.
FY24 Preliminary Results: The company reported sales of around $10.3 billion (vs. consensus of $10.29 billion), in line with prior guidance but down from $10.6 billion in 2023.
This was due to weaker demand for electric vehicles, commercial trucks, and off-highway equipment, along with higher light truck inventory.
Also, adjusted EBITDA rose to about $885 million and 8.6% margin from $845 million and 8.0% margin in 2023, led by efficiency gains. Moreover, Dana&#8217;s free cash flow stood at $70 million versus an outflow of $25 million in 2023.

R.&nbsp;Bruce McDonald, chairman and chief executive officer, said, &#8221;Our cost-savings actions are well underway, and we are pleased to increase our total cost reduction target to&nbsp;$300 million&nbsp;through 2026.&#8221;
&#8221;Our 2025 outlook reinforces the impact of these actions, which will help solidify Dana&#8217;s leadership position and enable us to capitalize on the strength of our traditional on-highway businesses while remaining a leader in the EV transition.&#8221;&nbsp;
Apart from this, the company plans to restructure its business segments in the first quarter of 2025.
The new segments will be Light Vehicle Systems and Commercial Vehicle Systems. The company integrated Power Technology&#8217;s OEM units into Light Vehicle Drive Systems and its aftermarket business into Commercial Vehicle Drive and Motion Systems.
The reorganization aligns with its plan to sell the Off-Highway business, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42175787/dana-announces-leadership-transition-and-actions-to-accelerate-value-creation" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced in November 2024</a>.
While a strong interest in the business&nbsp;suggests a potential deal by first-quarter earnings, there is no guarantee of a transaction. The Off-Highway segment will be classified as discontinued operations once an agreement is reached.
FY25 Outlook: Dana expects sales of $9.525 billion- $10.025 billion (vs. consensus of $9.83 billion), adjusted EBITDA of $925 million-$1.025 billion (10.0% margin at the midpoint), and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">free cash flow of $175 million-$275 million</a>.
Timothy Kraus, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said, &#8220;While sales are expected to be lower for the year, mainly driven by lower demand for off-highway equipment and translation of foreign currency, the impact of our cost-savings actions totaling&nbsp;$175 million&nbsp;in 2025 and efficiency improvements will drive higher margins.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via LeaderShares Activist Leaders ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACTV#NYSE">ACTV</a>) and Invesco S&amp;P Smallcap 600 Pure Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RZV#NYSE">RZV</a>).

Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>) experienced a Power Inflow Thursday, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
At 10:38 AM on January 23th, a significant trading signal occurred for Booking Holdings, Inc. (BKNG) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $4626.13. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Booking&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Booking&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

MOG/A

Moog shares are trading lower after the company issued FY25 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.

If President Donald Trump follows through on his proposed tariff hikes, consumer inflation expectations could rise sharply, complicating the Federal Reserve's plan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">to cut interest rates.</a>
The alarm came from Goldman Sachs, which unveiled that while the direct inflationary impact of tariffs may be modest, history suggests that consumers could perceive a broader and more persistent effect, making the Fed&#8217;s job trickier than during past trade wars.
In a note shared Friday, analyst Manuel Abecasis examined the potential consequences of a new wave of tariffs, estimating that a universal 10% tariff could trigger a one-off boost to headline inflation by up to 1 percentage point in the worst scenario.
Yet, the greater concern for policymakers is the potential rise of inflation expectations, which the Fed has previously warned could drive longer-lasting price pressures.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will Tariffs Actually Drive Inflation Higher?</h3>
Goldman Sachs expects the incoming administration to raise tariffs this year, delivering a one-time inflation boost of 0.3 percentage points in the baseline scenario and 1 percentage point in a more extreme case. 
However, the bank does not expect tariffs to immediately translate into a rise in inflation but rather to slow its current declining trend.
"In our baseline scenario, tariffs would cause inflation to fall by less than it otherwise would, but not rise from its current rate," the note said.
The Fed indicated that it would likely overlook temporary tariff-induced inflation, as it did during the 2018-2019 trade war.
Yet, Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled at the December press conference that the situation is different this time because the U.S. has "just been through a period of high inflation."
This distinction is crucial because inflation expectations have risen recently, particularly in the University of Michigan's consumer survey. Some respondents have already cited potential future tariffs as a reason for adjusting their inflation outlook.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Power Of Inflation Expectations</h3>
Economists widely agree that inflation expectations influence actual inflation. If businesses and consumers believe prices will rise, they may increase wages and adjust spending behaviors accordingly, creating a self-fulfilling cycle.
Goldman Sachs outlined two reasons why tariffs could have a larger effect on expectations now than during the 2018-2019 trade war.
First, the potential tariff increases are expected to be larger than before. 
Second, the memory of recent inflation is still fresh. Research shows that people who have lived through high inflation are more likely to expect it to persist, reacting more aggressively to price changes.
Salient price increases, such as gasoline, which consumers encounter daily, also tend to have an outsized effect on expectations.
Put it simply, if Americans believe that inflation is here to stay, their expectations could shift, triggering behaviors, such as businesses preemptively raising prices and workers demanding higher wages, that could keep inflation stubbornly high.
Goldman Sachs analyzed University of Michigan survey data, confirming that both recent and old inflation experiences strongly shape individuals&#8217; expectations. 
The report found that consumers react more sharply to price changes in highly visible categories like gasoline, suggesting that widespread media coverage of tariff-driven price hikes could amplify inflation fears.
&#8220;Under a 10% across-the-board scenario in which the tariffs are highly salient to consumers, short-term inflation expectations would be 0.9pp higher and long-term inflation expectations would be 0.25pp higher than in the no-tariff case,&#8221; Abecasis wrote. 
&#8220;Such a scenario might restrain the FOMC from cutting, though high public awareness of tariff-driven price increases might also restrain the White House from continuing to raise tariffs,&#8221; he added.
