Compass Point Maintains Neutral on TriplePoint Venture Gwth, Raises Price Target to $8

Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, reaffirmed his bullish stance on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), citing its potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">to surge further.</a>
What Happened: Reacting to skepticism from traditional financial figures, Scaramucci stated in a post on X on Thursday: "The fact that some finance aristocrats still thumb their nose at Bitcoin means we still have plenty of room to run."
This, he <a href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1864699922722754874">believes</a>, underscores the opportunity for Bitcoin's continued growth as traditional financiers either embrace or are outpaced by the digital asset revolution.

</figure>
In a separate <a href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1864705789547380914">post</a>, Scaramucci highlighted that Bitcoin reaching $100,000 aligns with his earlier prediction, reinforcing his confidence in the crypto's long-term potential.

Why It Matters: Scaramucci has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41204590/anthony-scaramuccis-top-5-crypto-quotes-from-applauding-trump-to-making-progress-with-kama">consistently advocated for Bitcoin</a>, often aligning with other prominent crypto enthusiasts like Michael Novogratz and major financial strategists. 
His optimism contrasts with frustration toward the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its chair, Gary Gensler, whom he criticized for a cautious regulatory approach.
In September 2024, Scaramucci joined other crypto proponents in predicting Bitcoin would hit $100,000 by the year's end. 
By mid-November, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42024635/scaramucci-trumps-crypto-support-could-push-bitcoin-to-150k">he projected a $150,000 target</a> if regulatory clarity improves, emphasizing the role of decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain in driving innovation.

Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) stock is trading lower on Thursday following a report suggesting that Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) &#8211; owned Waymo will launch in Miami in 2026. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/12/42323646/in-depth-examination-of-27-analyst-recommendations-for-uber-technologies">need to know</a>.
What To Know: Waymo announced plans to debut in Miami in 2025 with human safety drivers and begin offering rides via the Waymo app in 2026, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/05/waymo-announces-robotaxi-expansion-to-miami.html">CNBC</a>.
Alphabet originally tested Waymo in Miami in 2019 and plans to use what it learned upon its return to Miami. Specifically, the company, &#8220;deepened our learning and understanding of the Waymo Driver's performance in adverse weather conditions," a company spokesperson told CNBC.
In recent years, Waymo has experienced growth and has plans for further expansion. The company recently removed the waitlist for Los Angeles users, allowing broader access to the app, and secured approximately $5.6 billion in funding to support the expansion of its self-driving service.
Uber may be trading lower following Waymo&#8217;s expansion into Miami, as the growth of autonomous driving fleets could reduce the demand for human-operated ride services. This shift is typically seen as a potential threat to Uber's business model, as companies like Waymo are already offering autonomous ride-hailing services, and others, such as Tesla, could eventually enter the market with their own self-driving fleets.

Bitcoin SV, short for "Bitcoin Satoshi Vision," is a hard fork of Bitcoin Cash created in 2018 with a mission to adhere to the original vision outlined in Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper. 
BSV focuses on scalability and low transaction costs aiming to serve as the foundation for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-bitcoin-sv">decentralized global economy</a>.
As Bitcoin reinforces its reputation as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-cryptocurrencies">digital gold</a>, Bitcoin SV is positioning itself as a utility-driven blockchain that emphasizes enterprise adoption and real-world applications.
Unlike Bitcoin, which has become a store of value, Bitcoin SV scales to handle large volumes of transactions, making it potentially attractive for businesses requiring blockchain solutions for payments and supply chain.
Price Action: Bitcoin SV is trading higher by 80% to $84.53 over the trailing month.

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.

The company reported second-quarter sales of $347.269 million (down 3.5%), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42336293/americas-car-mart-reports-second-quarter-fiscal-year-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of $344.37 million</a>. Revenues fell owing to a decrease in retail units sold.&nbsp;
The decline in revenue was partially offset by an increase in interest income and a $13.2 million benefit in service contract revenue.  
Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of sales for the quarter was 36.5%, an improvement of 200 bps over the prior year&#8217;s quarter and 150 bps sequentially.
&#8220;Our initiatives in improving wholesale results and pricing improvements are reflected in these improved margins,&#8221; said the company.
America&#8217;s Car-Mart reported a 3.6% increase in interest income to $61.495 million. Total collections grew by 3.3%, reaching $173.8 million.
&#8220;We improved deal structures, generated higher down payments, and benefited from higher collections and gross margins,&#8221; said President and CEO Doug Campbell.

The allowance for credit loss as a percentage of finance receivables, net of deferred revenue and pending accident protection plan claims decreased from 25.00% on July 31 to 24.72% on Oct. 31.
The primary driver of this change was favorable performance in loans originated under LOS (improved underwriting system) and the improvements it is driving in the historical loss rates, America&#8217;s Car-Mart said.
The company reported an adjusted loss per share of 24 cents in the quarter under review.
During the quarter, the company increased finance receivables by $8.5 million, raised inventory by $7.6 million, and purchased $1.4 million in fixed assets. It also reduced debt by $49.6 million, net of cash.
&#8220;We&#8217;re closely managing expenses during ongoing implementation of technology upgrades to strengthen our operations,&#8221; Campbell added.
