Marvell Unveils New Platform, Targets Growing AI Bandwidth Demands

Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEED#TSX">WEED</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGC#NASDAQ">CGC</a>) and Acreage Holdings, Inc. (CSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACRG#CSE">ACRG</a>, ACRG.B.U))(OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACRHF#OTCQX">ACRHF</a>, ACRDF)) announced Monday that Canopy USA, LLC will complete its acquisition of Acreage on or around Dec. 9, 2024.
The Canadian cannabis giant announced its plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/19/06/13951090/canopy-shareholders-approve-acreage-deal-legalization-in-focus">acquire</a> Acreage for $3.4 billion in 2019. Initially, the deal was to be undertaken should the U.S. legalize&nbsp;marijuana on a federal level. That deal was later restructured.
The deal outlined the plan to acquire all Class E subordinate voting shares of Acreage. This acquisition will follow the purchase of the Class D shares of Acreage, based on an agreement from October 24, 2022. After both acquisitions are completed, Canopy USA will own all shares of Acreage.
Acreage pointed out in November that the move could leave holders of Acreage's Class E shares (fixed shares) with nothing if Canopy's stock price remains <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42196557/canopy-usas-acquisition-of-acreage-could-mean-loss-for-some-shareholders-heres-why">below $5 when the deal closes</a>.
Canopy Growth's shares traded 6.71% lower at $3.545 per share at the time of writing on Tuesday December 3. Acreage's shares traded 11.63% higher at $0.12 per share.

Canopy Growth Set To Complete Acreage Acquisition, Leaving Some Shareholders Potentially Open To Losses

Boston Scientific's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.77% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 11.02 million shares sold short, which is 0.75% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.92 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Boston Scientific has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Boston Scientific'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>, Boston Scientific's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42296819/aws-trainium2-instances-now-generally-available">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: Amazon&#8217;s biggest conference of the year, AWS re:Invent 2024, kicked off this week with sessions set to run through Friday.
Amazon Web Services CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAAIod8BxUdn-sU2ASLUVB0gAwBYjdhypOE"></a>Matt Garman&nbsp;on Tuesday gave his first keynote&nbsp;since taking the helm of AWS in June.

Amazon and Apple have been working together for years. Dupin highlighted some of the success the companies have shared and suggested on stage that Apple will&nbsp;use Amazon's Trainium2 chip to pre-train its&nbsp;models, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/03/apple-says-it-uses-amazons-custom-ai-chips-.html">per</a> CNBC.
Amazon said its Trainium2 chip offers 30% to 40% better price performance than the current generation and is purpose-built to support the largest generative AI workloads for both training and inference.
Amazon also announced new features that make Amazon S3 Tables the first cloud object store with fully managed support for Apache Iceberg for faster analytics. The new features also include the ability to automatically generate queryable metadata, helping to simplify data discovery.

Amazon further introduced new capabilities for Amazon Aurora and Amazon DynamoDB to support customers&#8217; demanding workloads. Amazon Aurora is a cloud-native relational database that delivers the performance and capability of a high-end commercial database, with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of an open-source database. 
Amazon also announced new capabilities for its AI building and scaling service Amazon Bedrock that helps customers prevent factual errors, direct multiple AI-powered agents and create smaller, task-specific models. 
Amazon and GitLab Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTLB#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>) announced an integrated offering that brings together GitLab Duo with Amazon Q to provide a seamless AI-powered developer experience that combines DevSecOps workflows with Amazon Q autonomous agents to help companies deliver secure software more quickly.
One of the latest announcements from the re:Invent conference is Amazon&#8217;s new generation of foundation models called Amazon Nova. The following models will be available in Amazon Bedrock: 
<ul>
<li>Amazon Nova Micro, Lite &amp; Pro: very fast, text-to-text model</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Amazon Nova Premier:&nbsp;multi-modal models that can process text, images and videos to generate text </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Amazon Nova Canvas:&nbsp;additional model that generates studio-quality images</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Amazon Nova Reel:&nbsp;additional model that generates studio-quality videos</li>
</ul>
&#8220;Inside Amazon, we have about 1,000 generative AI applications in motion, and we&#8217;ve had a bird&#8217;s-eye view of what application builders are still grappling with,&#8221; said Rohit Prasad, SVP of Amazon Artificial General Intelligence. 
&#8220;Our new Amazon Nova models are intended to help with these challenges for internal and external builders, and provide compelling intelligence and content generation while also delivering meaningful progress on latency, cost-effectiveness, customization, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and agentic capabilities.&#8221;
Amazon&#8217;s AWS re:Invent 2024 event is ongoing and further updates will likely be announced throughout the week.

Credo Technology Group Shares Are On The Rise Today: What's Going On?

SNAP

Snap shares are trading higher. Guggenheim reiterated a Buy rating on the stock.

Looking into the current session, Medtronic Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>) shares are trading at $85.62, after a 1.06% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 4.53%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 8.32%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733257847_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Medtronic P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 69.67 in the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry, Medtronic Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 26.46. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733257847_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Medtronic

When we think about financial success, the first thing that comes to mind for many people is having a lot of money. However, according to a recent Empower survey, most Americans do not believe that having money is the most crucial component of success. Instead, 59% of people say happiness – being able to spend money on things that bring them joy – truly defines success.

The results of Empower&#8217;s study challenge the widely held belief that having a sizable bank account is the key to financial success. Just 27% of Americans believe that having money is the best indicator of success. Most people believe that living a fulfilling life with your money is more important than how much money you have overall. This includes taking care of your health, having enough free time to engage in activities and being able to spend money on things that bring you joy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Happiness Over Wealth</h2>
For many Americans, financial success is tied to happiness, not just wealth. About 59% of those surveyed said that having enough money to enjoy life – whether traveling, dining out or simply being able to afford small treats – is their number one indicator of success. In the meantime, 35% of respondents cited having enough free time to pursue their passions and the same proportion cited physical health as a key indicator of success.
Rebecca Rickert, head of communications at Empower, explained it well to CNBC: &#8220;Americans are equating success with happiness as to what money can buy.&#8221; The emphasis is not on accumulating wealth but on what that money can do to improve daily life.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Reality of Living Paycheck to Paycheck</h2>
Another reason <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/36960367/average-person-believes-financial-happiness-comes-with-a-1-2-million-price-tag-revealing-money-c">happiness matters</a> more than wealth might be because many Americans are focused on just getting by. A separate study by Bank of America found that almost half of survey respondents said they're <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-stop-living-paycheck-to-paycheck">living paycheck to paycheck</a>. Even higher-income households, including 20% of those making over $150,000 a year, report struggling with high expenses that leave them little extra to save.
These pressures – made worse by rising costs and inflation – make it hard for many to think about wealth in the traditional sense. Instead, financial success becomes about finding some room to breathe: being able to pay bills on time, saving a bit for the future and having a chance to spend on something that makes life enjoyable.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where do You Stand?</h2>
According to recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, to be in the top 10% of earners in the U.S., your household must <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41889242/are-you-in-the-top-10-heres-what-it-really-takes-to-make-the-cut-and-rank-among-the-richest">make $191,406</a> or more annually. However, financial success isn&#8217;t just about reaching this number. Age and location significantly influence what is considered &#8220;top tier.&#8221;
For example, peak earning years for the top 10% of households are generally in the 45-54 age range, where an annual income of $255,000 places you at the top. The threshold for the top 10% is significantly greater in high-cost states like California, at about $341,276 annually than in places like Mississippi, where it is $189,922, as the location is an important factor.

Decoding Dollar Tree's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

The mobile gaming market has a new heavyweight with Nintendo ADR&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>) Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming">Pocket. </a>
According to data from AppMagic (<a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/pokemon-tcg-pocket-reportedly-surpassed-200m-in-first-month">via</a> Eurogamer), the game earned $208 million in revenue during its first month, making it one of the most lucrative mobile launches in recent years.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Strong First Month</h3>
Released on Oct. 30, Pokémon TCG Pocket began with $2.7 million in earnings on its launch day, which would end up being its lowest daily revenue so far. By Nov. 22, during the Fire Pokémon Mass Outbreak event, the game reached its single-day high of $8.4 million.
