Top 5 Risk Off Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Month

Planet Green Holdings Corp

Shares of Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) surged 6.15% to $93.71 Tuesday afternoon, benefiting from the sweeping monetary stimulus announced by the People&#8217;s Bank of China (PBoC).
The central bank's decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41003814/chinese-stocks-jump-as-central-bank-unveils-major-stimulus-to-spur-economy-a-step-in-the-right-direc">aggressively cut</a> both the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) and policy rates injected new optimism into China&#8217;s economy, sparking a broad rally in Chinese equities.
What Happened: Baidu, known as the &#8220;Google of China,&#8221; is a key player in the country's internet and artificial intelligence sectors. Shares rose sharply as investors anticipated that the substantial liquidity boost and policy rate cuts would not only help revive economic growth but also spur demand for the company's diverse range of digital services, which include search, cloud computing and AI-driven solutions.

The PBoC&#8217;s move to cut the RRR by 50 basis points, freeing up around $140 billion in liquidity for commercial banks, has the potential to improve credit availability across sectors. This infusion of capital into the economy is expected to particularly benefit large technology firms like Baidu, which rely on a strong consumer base and business spending for digital advertising and cloud services revenue. 
With more liquidity in the system, businesses are likely to increase their spending on Baidu&#8217;s advertising platform and AI-powered enterprise solutions, boosting the company's revenue streams.
What Else: Additionally, Baidu's expansion into autonomous driving and AI cloud infrastructure aligns with China&#8217;s long-term technological ambitions, making the company well-positioned to capitalize on any government-led investment in innovation and digital infrastructure. 
The easing of mortgage rates and repo rate cuts are also expected to stabilize China&#8217;s real estate sector, further bolstering consumer confidence. Increased consumer spending could translate into higher engagement on Baidu's platforms, from search engine usage to its mobile ecosystem.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is BIDU A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor or trader's decision to buy or sell a stock is unique to their time horizon and risk tolerance. Many typical investors evaluate earnings growth and valuation on a particular stock before making a decision. 
For example, for Baidu, you'll notice that earnings in its last quarter grew 12.02% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BIDU/earnings">source</a>. As an investor, you'll want to decide whether that's better or worse than what you'd like to see among stocks in your portfolio. 
On the valuation side, Baidu's price to earnings ratio &#8211; a measure of how much an investor pays for the company's earnings &#8211; is compressed 62.55% in the current quarter when compared with last year. That places it below similar businesses Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Pinterest in its sector. You'll need to decide whether that makes it more or less attractive based on how you think the company will perform over time.
There are many different valuation metrics that may help you make a decision. Find more on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BIDU">Baidu's quote page</a>, or if you'd like a deeper dive in an advanced program, try <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a> for free.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is ACAD A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACAD">ACADIA Pharmaceuticals</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. ACADIA Pharmaceuticals does not pay a dividend, but obviously has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 11.7%, you'll need to buy a share of New York Mortgage Trust by the Sep. 30, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.2 on Oct. 28, 2024.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACAD">ACADIA Pharmaceuticals</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ACAD has a 52-week high of $32.59 and a 52-week low of $14.55.

Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump Says We Will Set Up Special Zones Of Federal Land With Ultra Low Taxes And Regulations For American Producers

Long-running news show "60 Minutes" could be getting exclusive interviews with former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Here's how the news show and its parent company could end up media winners with less than 50 days until the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Presidential debates have been a key item for the 2024 election with the first debate between Trump and President Joe Biden serving as the potential tipping point for Biden to exit the race. A second debate, between Trump and Harris, marked a potential shift in the election with the current vice president gaining in election polls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40993290/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-betting-odds-show-vice-president-maintains-lead-as-race-near">and betting odds </a>since the Sept. 10 event.
While Harris wants to debate Trump again after being declared the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40824831/harris-vs-trump-swing-state-voters-pick-presidential-debate-winner-share-thoughts-on-immigration">winner by most polls,</a> Trump is not ready to join the CNN debate on Oct. 23.
Trump and Harris<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40971448/kamala-harris-ready-to-face-off-in-second-debate-but-donald-trump-says-its-too-late"> might not participate</a> in another debate together, but could be featured in back-to-back interviews on "60 Minutes."
According to a report from <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/09/22/harris-trump-60-minutes-interview">Axios</a>, Trump and Harris are both considering taking part in "60 Minutes" interviews that the long-running newsmagazine television show would air back-to-back on Oct. 7.
The report said Harris' campaign is in active talks with the news program and Trump's sources indicated an interview is to be determined.
"I'm confident this is going to work," "60 Minutes" Executive Producer Bill Owens <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-harris-60-minutes-interview-810ba6227a7ee12c6e88e70d9985b997">told </a>the Associated Press. "For either campaign, it wouldn't be a great look if they turned down an opportunity to be on '60 Minutes.'"
While the interviews wouldn't feature the same elements of a debate with rebuttals to opponents, they could feature the same questions and topics and allow viewers a chance to get more ideas on their candidate ahead of the 2024 election. The interviews would likely feature different interviewers with the report indicating Scott Pelley was assigned to Trump and Bill Whitaker was assigned to Harris.
Whitaker interviewed Harris last year, with Harris featured in a past interview with the news program<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35505524/kamala-harris-says-democracy-on-the-line-for-2024-election-confident-in-biden-for-presidency-we-will"> in October 2023. </a>Trump was interviewed by the news program in 2020, but became upset by interviewer Lesley Stahl and cut the interview short.
The Oct. 7 date would be less than one month before election day.

</ul>
Why It's Important: If there are no more television debates between Trump and Harris and "60 Minutes" lands the two interviews, Paramount could end up a big winner in the final stretch of the 2024 election.
The media company will host the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40844701/trump-harris-might-not-debate-again-but-their-running-mates-will-what-voters-should-know-about-w">vice presidential debate</a> between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. J.D. Vance (R &#8211; Ohio) on Oct. 1 and would air the interviews less than a week later.
September's debate between Trump and Harris was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40840076/trump-vs-harris-presidential-debate-viewership-tops-trump-biden-total-but-falls-short-of-re">watched by 67.1 million people, </a>topping the 51.3 million from June's Trump and Biden debate. ABC hosted the debate and CBS News saw 6.2 million viewers of its simulcast broadcast, trailing ABC, NBC, Fox News and MSNBC viewership.
A 2020 episode of "60 Minutes" that featured the infamous Trump interview mentioned above and an interview with Biden was watched by 17.4 million people, setting the news program's biggest viewership in over two years.
Interviews for Trump and Harris would likely draw strong ratings for "60 Minutes" and come on a day that is already strong thanks to National Football League viewership.
CBS airs one to two NFL games each Sunday, alternating with Fox Corp. which gets the double header of two games.
For Oct. 7, CBS would air one game at 1 p.m. ET with the following games airing across the country during that time slot nationally. CBS would also air a second game at 4 p.m. ET in select markets. "60 Minutes" would likely air at 7:30 p.m. ET or at the conclusion of the NFL games for the week.
NFL games are averaging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40948190/nfl-week-3-betting-odds-national-tv-games-can-disney-win-with-two-monday-night-football-gam">19.7 million viewers </a>through the first two weeks, up 12% year-over-year. CBS had the second most watched contest through the first two weeks with the Week 2 Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs game averaging 27.9 million viewers.
CBS would likely dominate the Sunday ratings thanks to NFL and the 2024 election special and could have opportunities to package advertising plans for both events or potentially for the vice presidential debate and the "60 Minutes" special.
PARA Price Action: Paramount stock trades at $10.48 versus a 52-week trading range of $9.54 to $17.50. Paramount stock is down 27% year-to-date in 2024.

US Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Visa, Court Records Show

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday as investors continue to speculate on a possible<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40996401/intel-which-cratered-around-77-from-its-52-week-peak-finds-a-new-knight-in-shining-armor-as-qual"> takeover by Qualcomm, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>).&nbsp;</a>
The Details:
Reports indicate that Qualcomm, led by CEO Cristiano Amon, is considering acquiring Intel as part of its diversification efforts. The deal would merge two of the world&#8217;s major chipmakers, impacting sectors including smartphones, PCs and servers. 
However, Stacy Rasgon, a prominent chip analyst from Bernstein, expressed skepticism about the potential deal.&nbsp;
"Is Intel desperate enough to seriously consider something like this? We're not so sure," Rasgon wrote.

What Else:&nbsp;

&#8220;Demand for AI is leading to a massive transformation in the data center, and the industry is asking for choice in hardware, software and developer tools,&#8221; said Justin Hotard, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center and Artificial Intelligence Group.&nbsp;
&#8220;With our launch of Xeon 6 with P-cores and Gaudi 3 AI accelerators, Intel is enabling an open ecosystem that allows our customers to implement all of their workloads with greater performance, efficiency and security,&#8221; Hotard added.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Should I Sell My INTC Stock?</h3>
When deciding to hold on to or sell a stock, investors should consider their time horizon, unrealized gains and total return.
Shares of Intel have decreased by 32.61% in the past year. An investor who bought shares of Intel at the beginning of the year would take a loss of $25.0 per share if they sold it today. The stock has risen 13.25% over the past month, meaning an investor who bought shares on Aug. 1 would see a capital gain of $1.32.
Intel shares have an all-time high of $56, representing 145.65% upside from current levels.
Investors may also consider market dynamics. The Relative Strength Index can be used to indicate whether a stock is overbought or oversold. Intel stock currently has an RSI of 83.7, indicating overbought conditions.

What's Going On With Intel Stock?

Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan has drawn a provocative parallel between Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) role in preserving wealth and the pursuit of longevity in healthcare, both framed as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40618360/balaji-srinivasan-gives-a-nod-to-pro-bitcoin-el-salvador-president-nayib-bukeles-theory-on"> resistance against state control.</a>
What Happened: In an <a href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1838204872820142479">interview</a>, Srinivasan asserted, &#8220;Bitcoin is about stopping the state from slowly draining your wealth, and Don&#8217;t Die is about stopping the state from slowly draining your health.&#8221;
He argues that these concepts are &#8220;very parallel&#8221; in their opposition to gradual, state-sanctioned deterioration.
Srinivasan criticized the current financial system&#8217;s acceptance of inflation, stating, &#8220;In the legacy system, it assumes a basic rate of 2% inflation. Like, yeah, hyperinflation is bad, but actually also deflation is bad. So a little bit of inflation, a little bit of loss of wealth every year is good.&#8221;

Drawing a controversial comparison to healthcare, he added, &#8220;This current system, the medical system says, oh yeah, sudden death is bad. But trying to live forever, that&#8217;s weird. So you should just die a little bit every year.&#8221;
Srinivasan concluded with a stark accusation: &#8220;It&#8217;s really the same logic as the Fed. The Fed is, and they want you dead, just a little bit every year. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37438179/balaji-srinivasan-calls-bitcoin-a-political-revolution-says-btc-can-stop-russias-wa">And so we resist that</a>.
