Grant Cardone is fired up about inflation and he's not holding back. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the entrepreneur laid it out in blunt terms: "Print &amp; distribute money to stupid people who then spend it on stupid stuff they otherwise could not afford." According to him, this is exactly what's happening in the current economic climate.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>Founder of Personal Capital and ex-CEO of PayPal<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/evergreen-money"> re-engineers traditional banking with this new high-yield account — start saving better today.</a></li>
<li>This billion-dollar fund has invested in the next big real estate boom,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> here's how you can join for $10.</a></li>
</ul>
Cardone's frustration is clear. He believes the government is setting people up for failure by printing more money and not teaching financial literacy. "Until our gov't educates our citizens on financial literacy &amp; quits bailing them out, there will be slaves forever," he wrote. It's a harsh critique, but Cardone isn't known for mincing words.
He's also not shy about calling out the current administration. In a breakdown of inflation by administration, Cardone<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/40818098/grant-cardones-inflation-breakdown-40-energy-cost-hike-marks-biden-harris-economic-impact"> highlighted a 40.2% increase in energy costs under President Joe Biden,</a> compared to a negative 0.7% during Donald Trump's term. To Cardone, this spike in energy prices is just one example of how the Biden-Harris policies are hurting the middle class. "You want more of this insanity?" he asked his followers in a previous post. "Harris will destroy the middle class."
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retire-5mil-nest-egg"> How does it compare to the average?</a>
Cardone's post didn't just throw numbers out there without context. He pointed to the Biden administration's focus on transitioning to renewable energy and stricter fossil fuel regulations as key drivers behind the rising energy costs. While he's all for innovation, Cardone argues that the policies are creating unnecessary financial burdens for everyday Americans.
But not everyone agrees with Cardone's take. Some of his followers questioned the accuracy of the data he posted. One user, "Biden's Debt Monster," pointed out that the numbers need more context, especially considering Trump's term ended during the pandemic. Another follower, Grant Goode, went even further, calling Cardone's post "deceptive" and arguing that Trump's massive spending contributed to the current economic situation.
Trending: During market downturns, investors are learning that unlike equities, these<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/connect-invest-real-estate-notes"> high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% &#8211; 9% are protected by resilient assets, buffering against losses.</a>
Cardone's response? Silence on the critique but continuing his push for financial education. To him, the real issue is deeper than just numbers. It's about how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40554281/the-razzle-dazzle-is-a-sham-grant-cardone-says-he-grew-up-in-the-democratic-party-but-now-sees-t">people are being set up to fail financially</a>. He's adamant that until Americans learn how to manage their money better – and stop relying on government handouts – things won't improve.
Cardone's blunt message is clear: Inflation isn't just a political issue; it's a personal one. And if people don't get smart about their money, they'll keep falling into the same traps.

Trump Media & Technology Group shares are trading lower, possibly amid the expiration of the lockup period that prevents large shareholders, such as Donald Trump, from selling stocks. Also, 2024 Presidential polls show that Donald Trump is behind rival candidate, Vice President Harris.

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>) reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 98 cents, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/n40936522/cracker-barrel-reports-fourth-quarter-fiscal-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the street view of $1.10. </a>Quarterly sales of $894.39 million (+6.9%), missing the analyst consensus of $897.22 million.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, total revenue includes a $62.8 million boost from the 53rd week.

Endava PLC&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dava#NYSE">DAVA</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.28 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.29 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.71 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -3.45%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.23 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.28, delivering a surprise of 21.74%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Endava, which belongs to the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry, posted revenues of $245.3 million for the quarter ended June 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.35%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $237.56 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Endava shares have lost about 62.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 17.8%.
<h2>What&#39;s Next for Endava?</h2>
While Endava has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Endava: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.38 on $257.42 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.60 on $1.06 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Computers - IT Services is currently in the top 20% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Accenture (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acn#NYSE">ACN</a>), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended August 2024. The results are expected to be released on September 26.
This consulting company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.77 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +2.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
Accenture&#39;s revenues are expected to be $16.33 billion, up 2.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Wall Street Breaks Records, Chipmakers Rally, Tesla Hits 2-Month High As Fed Cut Drives Risk-On Mode: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

On Wednesday, Hims &amp; Hers Health, Inc.

The platform has already seen success, with over 12,000 customers reporting significant weight loss—an average of 10.2 pounds with compounded GLP-1 injections and 6.3 pounds with non-GLP-1 oral medications—within four weeks of starting treatment.
The issue of obesity is particularly significant in service roles. Studies have shown that around 70% of American adults are overweight or obese, and the rates are alarmingly high among veterans, military personnel, teachers, nurses, police officers, and firefighters.
Stress, sleep disruption, and other occupational hazards contribute to these statistics, making the need for affordable weight loss solutions even more urgent.

Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and KB Home&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kbh#NYSE">KBH</a>)&nbsp;may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up pretty soon, and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.
That is because KB Home is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat. After all, analysts raising estimates right before earnings &mdash; with the most up-to-date information possible &mdash; is a pretty good indicator of some favorable trends underneath the surface for KBH in this report.
In fact, the Most Accurate Estimate for KBH for the to-be-reported quarter is currently pegged higher than the broader Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.04 per share. This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for KBH, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of +0.08% heading into earnings season.
<h2>KB Home Price and EPS Surprise</h2>
<div class="chart_embed">
<img alt="KB Home Price and EPS Surprise" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/2a/1726743013.png" style="height:266px; width:538px" title="" />
KB Home price-eps-surprise | KB Home Quote
</div>
<h2>Why is this Important?</h2>
A positive reading for the Zacks Earnings ESP has proven to be very powerful in producing both positive surprises, and outperforming the market. Our recent 10-year backtest shows that stocks that have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better show a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and have returned over 28% on average in annual returns.
Given that KBH has a Zacks Rank #3 and an ESP in positive territory, investors might want to consider this stock ahead of earnings.
Clearly, recent earnings estimate revisions suggest that good things are ahead for KB Home, and that a beat might be in the cards for the upcoming report.
