Sable Offshore Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOC#NYSE">SOC</a>) shares are trading lower by 21.3%% to $22.26 Friday afternoon after the company announced a $150 million private placement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b40954952/sable-offshore-corp-announces-150-million-private-placement-of-shares-and-update-on-warrant-exerci">7.50 million shares</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SOC Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Sable Offshore&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SOC has a 52-week high of $28.67 and a 52-week low of $10.11.

Why Sable Offshore (SOC) Stock Is Getting Hammered

A win by former President Donald Trump in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election </a>could raise concerns about conflicts of interest related to his ownership of a media company.
What Happened: Trump i<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40939390/trump-media-technology-group-stock-slides-as-lockup-expiration-looms-whats-going-on">s the co-founder</a> of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), a media company that owns the Truth Social platform and other media assets.
While investors are worried that Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/09/40860859/trump-media-technology-shares-surge-former-president-says-hes-not-selling-or-leaving-truth-s"> might sell his shares</a> after a lockup expiration, ethics watchdogs are concerned about who could be buying the shares ahead of the 2024 election or if Trump returns to the White House.
According to a report from Politico, purchasers of the stock could include foreign actors or people seeking corporate interests.
"It's a huge potential conflict of interest," Project on Government Oversight Director of Government Affairs Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette said, as <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/19/trump-social-media-stake-ethics-00180038">reported</a> by Politico.
Hedtler-Gaudette said ethics concerns over businesses connected to Trump are not new, but having a public company and being president could amplify the concerns.
Trump's media company has set up rules that he<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/23/08/33878846/trump-to-maintain-control-of-media-company-if-he-sells-majority-goes-to-jail-or-becomes-president"> will still maintain control</a> of the company if he goes to prison or becomes president. Trump will also keep control if he sells his stock, as long as he keeps his special shares that come with voter control.
Ownership of a media company could have ethics watchdogs on alert if Trump does return to the White House.
"This is a potentially dangerous situation," former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter told Politico. "The government shouldn't be controlling the press (and) that's where we are in social media."
Trump recently said he created Trump Media after being banned from other social media platforms. The venture arose after he began using traditional press releases to engage with his supporters, a strategy that quickly proved successful.
One potential concern is if Trump opts to bypass traditional media press releases or mainstream outlets, choosing instead to communicate exclusively through Truth Social or other companies he owns.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While most presidents haven't owned stocks while in office or put their investments into blind trusts to avoid conflicts of interest, it doesn't appear Trump will be changing his tune about DJT shares anytime soon.
Trump's ownership of hotels were previously involved in ethics concerns due to how government officials were billed for their use while Trump was in office.
According to the report, those seeking favors from Trump or hoping for him to make decisions or publicly support certain positions may perceive increased chances of success if they purchase shares in his company. Members of Congress <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/08/40475137/djt-stock-hits-new-lows-since-trump-media-companys-public-debut-heres-how-much-marjorie-tayl">who own DJT shares</a> could also see their prominence rise if Trump returns to the White House.
With Trump's continued ownership of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group, there remains multiple ethics concerns at play if he returns to the White House. The president owning a media company that could profit from his exclusive access, coupled with individuals publicly buying shares in Trump&#8217;s company to demonstrate loyalty, could emerge as significant issues moving forward.
DJT Price Action: Trump Media &amp; Technology shares are down 6.7% to $13.70 on Friday. The stock hit new post-SPAC merger lows of $13.50 earlier in the day. The stock is down 19% year-to-date in 2024.

Trump's Stake In Media Group Raises Ethics Concerns Ahead Of 2024 Election: Report

Shares of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) are down 1.91% to $239.38 Friday afternoon, reversing gains from Thursday's trading session, amid this week&#8217;s unexpected 50-basis-point interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40962983/wall-street-falls-on-triple-witching-day-feds-waller-pushes-gold-to-fresh-record-highs-fedex-plu">overall market weakness</a>.
The decline comes as broader concerns about economic growth and demand pressures begin to weigh on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">electric vehicle (EV)</a> maker's outlook.
Initial Rally On Lower Rates: Tesla stock surged on Thursday following the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points at the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, reducing the federal funds rate to a range of 4.75% to 5%. This larger-than-expected rate cut was welcomed by growth-oriented companies like Tesla, which stand to benefit from lower borrowing costs.
The Fed's updated Dot Plot signaled the possibility of additional rate cuts in 2024 and 2025, leading to optimism that cheaper financing would spur demand for capital-intensive goods such as electric vehicles. Lower interest rates also typically make it easier for consumers to finance big-ticket purchases like cars, further boosting demand for Tesla's vehicles.

Despite Thursday&#8217;s positive market reaction, Tesla shares dropped on Friday as investors digested the broader implications of the Federal Reserve's latest projections. Several key factors contributed to the decline:
Weaker Economic Growth Outlook: The Federal Reserve revised its GDP growth forecast for 2024 down from 2.1% to 2.0%, signaling slower economic activity ahead. Tesla, which relies on strong consumer demand for its premium electric vehicles, is vulnerable to any signs of economic weakening. A slower growth environment could weigh on consumer spending and potentially reduce demand for discretionary items like cars.
Higher Unemployment Forecast: The Fed also revised its unemployment projections upward, now expecting a 4.4% jobless rate in 2024, up from the previous 4.0%. Rising unemployment could further dampen demand for Tesla's vehicles, as higher joblessness tends to constrain household budgets, particularly for large purchases like electric cars.

Concerns Over Tesla's Margins: With a weakening economy, Tesla might need to lower vehicle prices or offer more incentives to maintain demand, potentially squeezing profit margins.
The company has already engaged in several rounds of price cuts throughout 2024 to stay competitive in the growing EV market, which has seen increased competition from legacy automakers and new entrants.
Inflation and Fed's Confidence in Rate Cuts: While the Fed's downward revisions of inflation forecasts for 2024 and 2025 signal a softer inflationary environment, they may also hint at a prolonged period of disinflation.
 A prolonged slowdown in inflation and economic activity could hinder Tesla's growth prospects, particularly in key markets like the U.S. and Europe, where consumer spending may decelerate.
Valuation Concerns Amid Volatility: Tesla, which is traditionally valued at high multiples compared to earnings, faces heightened volatility during periods of economic uncertainty. 
The combination of a slower economy, higher unemployment, and potential margin pressures raises questions about the sustainability of Tesla's lofty valuation. This could prompt profit-taking among investors after Thursday's rally.

Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) reportedly ruled out taking an equity stake in Woodside Energy Group Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDS#NYSE">WDS</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39879353">upcoming acquisition of Driftwood LNG in Louisiana.</a>
Colin Parfitt, head of midstream operations, told Reuters that Chevron can effectively monetize its U.S. gas without converting it to LNG.
The decision reflects the company&#8217;s earlier choice to bypass investment in U.S. LNG plant construction and sell its gas directly to the market instead.
In July 2023, Chevron executives said in an interview that the company is confident in its &#8216;buy-rather-than-build&#8217; strategy, which an S&amp;P Global <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/natural-gas/072023-interview-chevron-prefers-buying-us-lng-to-building-export-projects" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>highlighted.
During the interview, the company&#8217;s executives stated that Chevron&#8217;s U.S. LNG offtake contracts support its goal of increasing international sales of Permian Basin production, while the company will primarily leave U.S. midstream infrastructure development to third parties to focus on upstream and downstream investments.
In 2022, Chevron&nbsp;U.S.A. entered into long-term <a href="https://lngir.cheniere.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/253/cheniere-and-chevron-sign-long-term-lng-sale-and-purchase">LNG </a>sale and purchase agreements with Cheniere Energy. Notably, given the current interest rate environment, it&#8217;s interesting that Chevron chose not to invest in the construction of a U.S. LNG plant.
Recently, the Federal Reserve decided to reduce interest rates by 50 basis points leading to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40937291/bank-stocks-hit-inflection-point-after-feds-50-basis-point-cut-analyst-reveal-top-p" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">surge in optimism across major sectors</a>.
Further into the future, the Dot Plot signals the fed funds rate will drop to between 3.25% and 3.5% by the end of 2025, implying an additional 100 basis points of cuts. By the end of 2026 and the newly introduced projections for 2027, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">interest rates are expected to fall to 2.9%</a>.
It remains uncertain whether the company will alter its stance after future rate reductions as it wants the best use of its capital.
This week, Chevron Shipping Company, in partnership with Wärtsilä, disclosed that it will convert engines on six&nbsp;liquefied natural gas&nbsp;(LNG) carriers from dual-fuel to spark gas operation to cut methane&nbsp;emissions <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40941443/chevron-takes-steps-to-reduce-methane-emissions-from-lng-carriers" rel="noreferrer noopener">and support its carbon reduction goals</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the Chevron via&nbsp;E.A. Series Trust Strive U.S. Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRLL#NYSE">DRLL</a>) and&nbsp;SPDR Select Sector Fund – Energy Select Sector&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>).
Price Action: CVX shares are up 0.13% at $145.18 at the last check Friday.

Chevron Prioritizes Gas Sales Over LNG Plant Investment: Report

Earlier on Friday, &nbsp;Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) announced headline results from a phase 2a clinical trial with monlunabant, a small-molecule oral cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40961934/novo-nordisk-stock-declines-after-headline-results-from-mid-stage-study-of-monlunabant-in-obese-p" rel="noreferrer noopener">inverse agonist</a>.
After 16 weeks of treatment, people treated with a once-daily 10 mg dose of monlunabant achieved a weight loss of 7.1 kg compared to a reduction of 0.7 kg with a placebo.
Probably, the investors are reacting to the limited additional weight loss seen at higher doses.
In March, Novo Nordisk <a target="_blank" href="https://www.novonordisk.com/content/dam/nncorp/global/en/investors/irmaterial/cmd/2024/P5-Obesity-Care.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared</a> monlunabant update during its Capital Markets Day 2024.
In Phase 1, monlunabant produced a statistically significant mean weight loss of 3.5 kg (3.3%) compared to 0.6 kg (0.5%) with placebo at day 28.
Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRBP#NASDAQ">CRBP</a>) and Skye Bioscience Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKYE#NASDAQ">SKYE</a>)&nbsp;stocks plunged in reaction to the data.
All three companies are developing weight loss drugs that employ a mechanism of action, peripheral CB1 inhibition.
Corbus Pharmaceuticals&#8217; investigational CRB-913, also a CB1 inverse agonist, is in the preclinical phase. Human <a target="_blank" href="https://www.corbuspharma.com/our-pipeline" rel="noreferrer noopener">trials</a> are expected to start in the first quarter of 2025.
Analyst reactions:
<ul>
<li>Wedbush maintains Corbus Pharmaceuticals with an Outperform rating and lowered the price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRBP/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">target from $85 to $51</a>.</li>
<li>B. Riley Securities maintains Corbus with a Buy and lowered the price target from $85 to $40.</li>
</ul>
Skye is conducting a Phase 2 trial in obesity for nimacimab, a negative allosteric modulating antibody that peripherally inhibits CB1.
This study is also assessing the combination of nimacimab and Novo Nordisk&#8217;s Wegovy (semaglutide). Skye <a target="_blank" href="https://ir.skyebioscience.com/company-information" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects</a> interim and topline data from its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/g40503382/skye-bioscience-launches-phase-2-cbeyond-clinical-trial-of-its-differentiated-cb1-inhibitor-nimaci" rel="noreferrer noopener">Phase 2 study in 2025</a>.
Jefferies analyst notes that while expectations for Corbus&#8217; asset have been tempered, key uncertainties persist, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions. This is particularly true as Novo Nordisk advances its obesity candidate. Additional insights from long-term open-label extension data, expected in late October, may provide more clarity.
Price Action: SKYE stock is down 41% at $3.24, and CRBP stock is down 59.4% at $21.00 at last check Friday.

Novo Nordisk's Monlunabant Data Drags Stocks Of Smaller Players

ICU Medical Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICUI#NASDAQ">ICUI</a>) subsidiary, Smiths Medical, initiated a <a href="https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/ventilator-recall-smiths-medical-removes-parapac-plus-ventilators-due-loosened-or-detached-patient">recall</a> Friday of its paraPAC plus P300 and P310 ventilators <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/medical-devices">due to faulty parts</a>. 
According to the FDA, there&#8217;s a possibility that the patient outlet connector may loosen or detach, impacting active ventilation. If this happens, it could cause serious adverse health consequences, including not enough ventilation (hypoventilation), not enough oxygen (hypoxia), slowed heartbeat (bradycardia), low blood pressure (hypotension), a sudden stop of the lungs (respiratory arrest), and death.
There has been one reported injury. There has been one report of death.
Smiths Medical PneuPAC paraPAC Plus P300 and P310 Ventilators are gas-powered emergencies and transport portable ventilators, including in vehicles such as airplanes and helicopters.
They are suitable for emergencies at accident scenes and transports between hospitals or within a hospital or medical facility. These ventilators are intended to provide ventilatory support for adults, children, and infants.
The paraPAC Plus devices also provide free-flow oxygen therapy and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for spontaneously breathing patients. They can also be used in emergency situations to provide ventilatory support for CPR resuscitation.
Earlier this week, Smiths Medical initiated a <a href="https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/tracheostomy-tube-recall-smiths-medical-removes-certain-bivona-neonatalpediatric-and-adult">recall</a> of certain Bivona neonatal/pediatric and adult tracheostomy tubes due.

ICU Medical Recalls ParaPAC Plus Ventilators Due To Loose Outlet Connector That Can Cause Injury Or Death

Shares of Manulife Financial Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mfc#NYSE">MFC</a>) closed at $28.87 on Thursday, near its 52-week high of $28.89. A strong-performing Asia business, expanding Wealth and Asset Management business and a solid capital position are driving the stock price higher.
The company is one of the three dominant life insurers within its domestic Canadian market and possesses rapidly growing operations in the United States and several Asian countries. Earnings grew 4.9% in the last five years, better than the industry average of 4.6%.
Shares have rallied 30.6% year to date, outperforming the industry&#39;s increase of 19%, the Finance sector&#39;s increase of 13.7% and the S&amp;P 500 composite&#39;s rise of 17.7%.
<h2>MFC Outperforms Industry, Sector, S&amp;P 500 YTD</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/d1/78668.jpg?v=2085214265" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
MFC shares are trading well above the 50-day moving average, indicating a bullish trend.
<h2>MFC&#39;s Return on Equity</h2>
Manulife&#39;s return on equity (ROE) for the trailing 12 months is 16.2%, better than the industry average of 15.5%. This reflects Manulife&#39;s efficiency in utilizing shareholders&#39; funds. It expects to generate a ROE of more than 18% by 2027.
<h2>Optimistic Growth Outlook</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 and 2025 earnings per share is pegged at $2.72 and $2.86, respectively, suggesting an increase of 5.8% and 5.2% year over year. The long-term earnings growth rate is currently pegged at 10%. Manulife expects core EPS growth of 10-12% over the medium term.&nbsp;
<h2>Factors Favoring MFC</h2>
Manulife&#39;s Asia business continues to be a major contributor to earnings. Asia has been the fastest-growing insurance segment, supported by strong volume growth and attractive margins. This market appears attractive, given its changing demographics. MFC now expects core earnings from Asia to contribute 50% to overall earnings by 2027.
As part of its strategic priorities, Manulife is also investing in high ROE and growth segments in North America.&nbsp; The company&#39;s highest potential businesses, including operations in Asia, Global WAM, Canada group benefits and behavioral insurance products, currently contribute two-thirds to core earnings. The insurer now looks to increase it to 75% and thus is expediting growth in these highest potential businesses.
In tandem with the wave of digitalization going on, MFC is digitalizing and automating workflows through GenAI and advanced analytics.&nbsp; Accelerated digitalization should help it achieve an expense efficiency ratio of less than 45% in the medium term.
Manulife has been strengthening its balance sheet by improving liquidity and leverage. It targets a leverage ratio of 25%. Notably, its free cash flow conversion has remained more than 100% over the last many quarters, reflecting its solid earnings.
The life insurer, banking on consistent cash flow, hiked dividends at a six-year CAGR of 10% and targets a 35-45% dividend payout over the medium term.
<h2>Concerns Regarding MFC</h2>
Despite the upside potential, there are a few factors that investors should keep an eye on.
Manulife targeted an expense efficiency ratio of less than 50% or $1 billion in cost savings and avoidance.&nbsp; It is on track to deliver an efficiency ratio of less than 45% in the future. However, its net margin has been contracting over the last six quarters.
Manulife draws a substantial portion of its earnings from the international market, which makes its profitability vulnerable to foreign exchange losses. In an attempt to lower its forex exposure, the company has started incurring hedging costs.
Though the leverage has been gradually improving, times interest earned has been declining.
The return on invested capital in the trailing 12 months was 0.66%, comparing unfavorably with the industry average of 0.68%, reflecting the insurer&#39;s inefficiency in utilizing funds to generate income.
<h2>MFC Shares Expensive&nbsp;</h2>
MFC shares are trading at a price-to-earnings multiple of 10.23, higher than the industry average of 8.40.
Shares of other insurers like Sun Life Financial&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/slf#NYSE">SLF</a>) and Aflac Incorporated (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/afl#NYSE">AFL</a>) are trading at a multiple higher than the industry average.
<h2>Parting Thoughts</h2>
MFC&#39;s focus on building a high-growth, high-return and high cash generation company, wealth distribution to shareholders and ROE expansion instills confidence in this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) insurer.
However, given the stock&#39;s premium valuation, it will be wise for new investors to wait for a better entry point.
Investors who already hold MFC stock should retain it, given its growth prospects.

MFC Stock Near 52-Week High: Should You Buy or Wait for a Pullback?

Rio Tinto (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rio#NYSE">RIO</a>) announced that it would invest in Pongamia seed farms in Australia to explore the possibility of using its seed oil as a feedstock for renewable diesel. RIO sees biofuels as an avenue to reduce the dependence on fossil diesel, which accounts for around 10% of its emissions footprint in Australia.
To achieve net-zero Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2050, Rio Tinto has chosen electrification as the long-term solution for replacing the use of diesel in its fleet. While electrification is in progress, the company is looking at other quicker options to lower diesel-sourced emissions, such as biofuels.
Australia does not yet have a biofuel feedstock industry capable of meeting domestic demand. Rio Tinto expects that the pilot will play an important role in addressing this gap while supporting its journey to achieve decarbonization goals.
<h2>Rio Tinto Joins Forces With Midway for Pongamia Farm Trial</h2>
Pongamia is a fast-growing tree that is native to northern Australia. It produces large numbers of seeds, which are rich in oil and protein. The seeds can be processed into renewable diesel, which offers a significant reduction in carbon emissions compared with fossil fuel diesel.
After the extraction of oil, the seed pod and meal can be processed for other uses such as cattle feed. Pongamia has other benefits, it is drought tolerant, salinity and flood resistant, with low water, fertilization and pest control requirements making it easy to grow.
Rio Tinto is in the final stages of acquiring approximately 3,000 hectares of cleared land near Townsville in north Queensland to establish farms to study growth conditions and measure seed oil yields.
RIO has partnered with Midway Limited to oversee the planting and management of the seed farms. The companies will plant approximately 750,000 Pongamia saplings.
<h2>Rio Tinto&#39;s Decarbonization Efforts</h2>
In 2023, Rio Tinto&#39;s Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 32.6Mt CO2e, which marked a reduction of 5.5% from its 2018 baseline. It plans to invest capital in the range of $5- $6 billion by 2030 to deliver on its decarbonization strategy.
In July, RIO announced that it is set to install carbon-free aluminum smelting cells at its Arvida smelter in Qu&eacute;bec, Canada, utilizing the first technology license issued by the ELYSIS joint venture. The groundbreaking ELYSIS technology aims to eliminate all direct greenhouse gases from the conventional aluminum smelting process by producing oxygen as a byproduct while improving efficiency by producing more aluminum at lower costs.
In May 2024, Rio Tinto and BHP Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bhp#NYSE">BHP</a>) teamed up to trial large battery-powered haul trucks manufactured by Caterpillar (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cat#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Komatsu (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kmtuy#OTC">KMTUY</a>) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The trials will kick off with two Cat 793 haul trucks in 2024, followed by two Komatsu 930 haul trucks in 2026.
BHP will trial the Caterpillar trucks while Rio Tinto will test the Komatsu trucks. This collaboration between two leading global miners with two of the world&#39;s largest haul truck manufacturers seeks to address the critical challenge of achieving zero-emissions haulage in the mining sector.
Even though electrification is the most efficient and cost-effective solution to reduce the use of fossil diesel in mining fleet and equipment, Rio Tinto does not expect mass deployment of battery electric haul trucks at its operations to be technically or commercially feasible before 2030.
In the meantime, Rio Tinto intends to explore other avenues like biofuels to reduce diesel-sourced emissions. In June 2023, its Boron operation in California fully transitioned its heavy machinery from fossil diesel to renewable diesel. It is the first open pit mine in the world to achieve this feat.&nbsp; The company expects to replicate this at its Kennecott copper operation in Utah this year. It is also investigating the usage of biofuels in scenarios where electrification may be challenging to implement.
<h2>RIO&#39;s Price Performance &amp; Zacks Rank</h2>
In a year, shares of Rio Tinto have gained 2.2% against the industry&#39;s 2.8% decline.

RIO to Test Biofuel Crop for Renewable Diesel Production in Australia

The experimental drug KarXT, developed by Karuna Therapeutics, is expected to receive FDA approval later this month (Sept. 26), marking a significant breakthrough in schizophrenia treatment.
If approved, KarXT would become the first novel schizophrenia drug in over 70 years, offering new hope for patients and medical professionals alike.
Schizophrenia, a mental disorder that affects approximately 3.8 million adults in the U.S., is often characterized by severe symptoms such as social isolation, memory issues and psychotic episodes.
Last year, Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) acquired Karuna Therapeutics for $330 per share in cash for a total equity value of $14 billion, or $12.7 billion net of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36388646/bristol-myers-acquisition-of-karuna-therapeutics-paves-way-for-aggressive-global-marketing-of-ka" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimated cash acquired</a>. 
The Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/427d37df-e2e9-4b67-87be-29f2a258de00" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlights</a> that existing treatments, mainly focused on blocking dopamine receptors, often come with serious side effects, including weight gain and involuntary movements.
Despite the enthusiasm surrounding KarXT, the complexity and financial constraints of the U.S. health care system could limit access to this new treatment.
High drug pricing could also hinder access; the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review has suggested KarXT be priced at up to $20,000 per year.
In August, AbbVie Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) completed the acquisition of Cerevel Therapeutics, another company focused on developing drugs for neurological disorders, for a total equity value of approximately $8.7 billion, or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36138732/abbvies-new-9b-neuroscience-space-deal-might-attract-ftc-scrutiny-analyst-signals" rel="noreferrer noopener">$45 per share in cash</a>.
The challenges extend beyond the cost and availability of medications, the Financial Times report adds. Many individuals with mental health conditions, particularly schizophrenia, encounter law enforcement rather than health care professionals during crises.
While KarXT&#8217;s approval could represent a crucial step forward, many experts, including Michael Thompson, a criminal justice expert, say that more systemic changes are needed to ensure mental health care is accessible and effective, especially for vulnerable populations like the homeless, according to FT.

Spotlight on AbbVie: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Bloom Energy Says Expects Shipment Volumes To Korea To Be Similar In 2024 And The Coming Years To What They Have Been In Recent Years

Jabil Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbl#NYSE">JBL</a>) is set to release fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Sept. 26, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 2.16%. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 3.10%, on average.
The leading global supplier of electronic manufacturing services is likely to witness a revenue contraction year over year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Soft demand trends in some end markets and macroeconomic challenges are likely to impede the top-line growth. Initiatives to improve profitability and free cash flow are positives.
<h2>Factors at Play</h2>
Jabil is placing a strong emphasis on integrating sophisticated AI and ML capabilities to enhance portfolio offerings and improve the efficiency of its internal process. Growing demand for AI infrastructure in data center space, along with AI proliferation in cloud, networking and industrial automation end markets are major tailwinds. Jabil&#39;s focus on end market and product diversification, coupled with its large-scale global operations, offers a high degree of resilience during times of macroeconomic and geopolitical disruption. Management&#39;s focus on operational efficiency and effective working capital management is boosting profitability and free cash flow.
However, demand softness in several key end markets, including 5G, renewable energy, digital print and healthcare is weighing on net sales. The company&#39;s automotive vertical is also experiencing headwinds as the Chinese automotive market grapples with overcapacity and high inventory levels. Moreover, the launch of new electric vehicle platforms has been postponed by several quarters. These factors are likely to have impeded revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The company&#39;s strategy to move away from less prospective markets by restructuring and reshaping its portfolio will impact top-line growth in the near term.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the DMS vertical is pegged at $3.384 billion, indicating a decline from $4.436 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Revenues from the EMS vertical are pegged at $3.169 billion, implying a downtrend from $4.022 billion in the year-ago quarter.
For the August quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $6.573 billion, which indicates a decline from the year-ago quarter&#39;s tally of $8.458 billion. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.23, suggesting a decrease from $2.45 reported in the prior-year quarter.
<h2>Earnings Whispers</h2>
Our proven model doesn&#39;t conclusively predict an earnings beat for Jabil this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.

Transport Workers Union Of America Say Tentative Contract Extension For American Airlines Amts, Fleet Service Workers, Ground Mechanics; Say Agreement With American Airlines Is A Two-year Extension That Goes Goes Into Effect Jan. 1, 2025

Microsoft Corp. (NASDA: MSFT) <a href="https://ambassadors.microsoft.com/xbox/blog/celebrating-the-legacy-and-evolution-of-the-xbox-ambassadors">announced</a> the end of its Xbox Ambassadors program.
Starting today, the program will begin winding down, with a complete shutdown scheduled for Oct. 15, 2024. Ambassadors have until that date to claim any remaining rewards and codes.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/03/31497636/xbox-invests-in-underrepresented-developers-to-expand-gaming-industry-reach">Xbox Invests In Underrepresented Developers To Expand Gaming Industry Reach</a>
The Xbox Ambassadors initiative was designed to promote inclusivity, safety, and fun within the gaming community. 
While participants were not Microsoft employees, they played a vital role in representing the Xbox brand. To qualify, Ambassadors needed to meet certain requirements, such as maintaining a minimum Gamerscore of 1,500 and being at least 17 years old. 
These standout community members were often rewarded with exclusive digital and physical items, editorial spotlights and access to sweepstakes.
&#8220;We have learned so much from this passionate group,&#8221; Microsoft said in its official announcement. However, the company cited the evolving nature of the Xbox brand as the reason behind the program&#8217;s closure, with plans to shift community engagement strategies moving forward.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Changes And New Directions For Xbox Engagement</h1>
The company hinted at future plans for expanding its engagement programs, particularly through its Xbox Rewards and Xbox Research initiatives.
&#8220;Players are finding more value in engaging with us in other ways that allow them to live our community values of making Xbox a place where everyone can have fun,&#8221; Microsoft said in its statement. 
This shift will see greater emphasis on other programs like Xbox Fanfest and the Xbox Insider Program, which aim to maintain the community spirit fostered by the Ambassadors.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Tumultuous Year For Microsoft Gaming</h1>
The closure of the Xbox Ambassadors program comes amid a challenging year for Microsoft Gaming. The company, like many others in the gaming industry, has faced waves of layoffs. In January 2024, Xbox cut 1,900 staff, and further reductions followed in May, including the closure of studios like Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks. 
Just last week, another 650 staff members were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40829756/microsoft-cuts-650-xbox-jobs-amid-restructuring-following-activision-blizzard-deal-report">laid off.</a>

A Georgia pharmacy has started selling low-THC medical marijuana to registered patients statewide, despite opposition from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/drug-enforcement-administration">Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).</a>
Vic Johnson, who owns the Living Well Pharmacy in Augusta, <a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/health-news/independent-georgia-pharmacy-is-dispensing-medical-marijuana-defying-dea-warning/ZML4KLIPQ5HQDLZ4GIRU27MXLI/">told</a> the Journal-Constitution that selling medical cannabis in pharmacies is "a new frontier."
Why? "I really think pharmacies are an ideal outlet for dispensing medical cannabis because if you come to my pharmacy already, we can talk about what medications you already are taking."
The Georgia Board of Pharmacy started accepting applications from nearly 120 pharmacies to provide medical marijuana products in October, making it the first state in the nation to allow the sale of low-dose cannabis at independent drug stores. The move came four years after the Georgia legislature legalized low-THC medical marijuana in 2019.

Botanical Sciences LLC and Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>), which were the first cannabis businesses to launch medical cannabis sales statewide in 2023, were given the green light to supply pharmacies with products.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DEA Is Against It</h3>
The DEA sent warning letters to pharmacies involved in the state&#8217;s medical marijuana program shortly after, cautioning against dispensing THC. Even though the DEA's move prompted concerns among industry stakeholders about potential obstacles to the expansion of medical marijuana access for patients statewide, the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission (GMCC) maintained its stance.

"I want patients to know that we are well on our way to fully implement the Hope Act [Harnessing Opportunities by Pursuing Expungement Act]," GMCC chair Sid Johnson said. "We will continue to pursue our mission of ensuring access to medical cannabis for all patients across Georgia."
Johnson's pharmacy was earlier approved by the Georgia Board of Pharmacy to dispense low-THC oil to Richmond County's registered patients. He said his pharmacy got the green light to sell medical cannabis gummies, tinctures, cremes or capsules that contain 5% THC or marijuana compound in late August.
"I think our customers feel more comfortable buying this product through a pharmacy where records are kept, and we know their medical history," Johnson <a href="https://augustabusinessdaily.com/local-pharmacy-creating-a-buzz-with-thc-sales/">told</a> Augusta Business Daily. "The other benefit is that the purchases for these products are kept separate from other prescriptions we fill."

Deere (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/de-stock-quote/">DE</a>) layoffs are a hot topic on Wednesday after the tractor and farm equipment company announced <a href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=90423&amp;ref=318375045&amp;type=PDF&amp;symbol=DE&amp;cdn=936da5c1741f9f6e860166cd73ae50f2&amp;companyName=Deere+%26+Company&amp;formType=8-K&amp;formDescription=Current+report+pursuant+to+Section+13+or+15%28d%29&amp;dateFiled=2024-06-05">job cuts coming in 2024</a>.



Deere let its employees know about the layoffs and then announced them to the public via a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In that filing, the company notes that it is reducing jobs in its production and salaried workforce.



Deere is enacting these layoffs to help it meet strategic priorities while also reducing overlap. It will also help cut down on redundant roles and responsibilities at the company.



Deere also notes that it is expecting these layoffs to start later this year. The company says the salaried portion of the jobs cuts will take place in the third quarter of 2024. It also says these workforce reductions don&rsquo;t change its previous guidance from May 16.



<h2>Deere Layoffs Extend Trend</h2>



There have been plenty of layoffs taking place at more than just Deere recently. Many companies are working to cut operating costs as they deal with a tough economy. That includes high inflation and interest rates.



DE stock is down slightly as of Wednesday morning. That comes without much trading as only 359,000 units have changed hands. Its daily average trading volume is about 1.4 million shares.

Hanesbrands&nbsp;(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hbi-stock-quote/">HBI</a>) stock is getting a boost on Wednesday after the innerwear apparel company announced it will <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/hanesbrands-signs-agreement-sell-global-114500683.html">sell the Champion brand</a>.



Hanesbrands&nbsp;has agreed to sell the Champion brand to Authentic Brands Group&nbsp;for $1.2 billion. The deal could increase to $1.5 billion if a contingent cash consideration of up to $300 million is fulfilled. This requires the brand to reach performance goals after the sale.



Hanesbrands&nbsp;notes that it will receive net proceeds of $900 million from this deal. The company says that it intends to use all of the funds gained from this sale to pay down its debts.



<h2>What This Means for HBI Stock</h2>



Hanesbrands&nbsp;says that the sale of Champion will take place in the second half of 2024. The company also intends to list it as discontinued operations in its filings starting in Q2 of the year. It will also update its guidance to adjust for the sale when it releases its Q2 results.



Steve Bratspies, CEO of Hanesbrands, said this about the sale.




&lsquo;Over the past three years, we have taken necessary actions to enhance the Company&rsquo;s operations and financial performance &ndash; returning to historical gross margins, reducing our cost structure, lowering our debt levels, and generating consistent cash flow. The successful completion of this transaction further simplifies our business, deleverages our balance sheet and enhances the Company&rsquo;s operations and financial performance.&rdquo;




HBI stock is up 5.1% as of Wednesday morning.
