Stocks That Hit 52-Week Lows On Tuesday

AMSC ASA

A senior Ukrainian intelligence official has suggested that Ukraine may have to engage in discussions with Russia to bring an end to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ukraine-russia-war">ongoing war</a>.
What Happened: Major-General Vadym Skibitsky, the deputy chief of Ukraine&#8217;s HUR military intelligence directorate, stated that negotiations would eventually be necessary to conclude the war, as is the case with any conflict, reported Reuters, citing the Economist magazine.
Skibitsky also noted that he does not see a clear path for Ukraine to win the war on the battlefield alone. He suggested that both sides are currently positioning themselves for potential talks, which he believes could commence no earlier than the second half of 2025.
&#8220;Such wars can only end with treaties, he says. Right now, both sides are jockeying for the &#8216;the most favorable position&#8217; ahead of potential talks. But meaningful negotiations can begin only in the second half of 2025 at the earliest, he guesses.&#8221;

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has consistently rejected the idea of negotiations with Russia. However, Skibitsky&#8217;s comments align with those of other Ukrainian officials, including Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who recently hinted at the possibility of future talks with Russia.
Why It Matters: The suggestion of potential negotiations comes amid escalating tensions between Russia and the West. On Monday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38607615/russian-troops-enter-us-military-base-in-niger-amid-rising-tensions">Russian troops entered a U.S. military base in Niger</a>, following the junta&#8217;s order to expel U.S. forces. 
The U.S. also recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/05/38575211/us-slams-russia-for-alleged-chemical-weapons-use-in-ukraine-imposes-new-sanctions">accused Russia of using chemical weapons in Ukraine</a>, leading to the imposition of new sanctions on Russian entities. The U.S. State Department released a statement accusing Russia of breaching the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) by using the choking agent chloropicrin against Ukrainian forces.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38522456/russian-defense-systems-intercept-six-us-made-missiles-launched-by-ukraine">Russian air defense systems intercepted six U.S.-made missiles</a> launched by Ukraine. These missiles were part of a $300 million military aid package that U.S. President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37656991/ukraine-to-receive-300-million-in-us-military-aid-as-battle-with-russia-intensifies">approved</a> for Ukraine on Mar. 12, as disclosed by a U.S. official last week.

Ukraine May Need To Negotiate With Russia To End War, Says Top Intel Officer: 'Both Sides Are Jockeying For The The Most Favorable Position'

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) and his wife, Imelda Cuellar, have been charged with accepting approximately $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani government-owned oil company and a Mexican bank, the Justice Department announced on Friday.
What Happened: The Cuellars were&nbsp;charged with multiple counts of&nbsp;conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud, money&nbsp;laundering,&nbsp;and violating a ban on&nbsp;acting as agents of a&nbsp;foreign organization. 
The Justice Department alleged that the&nbsp;bribes were laundered from 2014-21&nbsp;through&nbsp;a series of &#8220;sham consulting contracts&#8221; via&nbsp;middlemen and front companies owned&nbsp;by Imelda Cuellar.&nbsp;
&#8220;According to court documents, beginning in at least December 2014 and continuing through at least November 2021, Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar allegedly accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan, and a bank headquartered in Mexico City,&#8221; the department stated.

&#8220;In exchange for the bribes paid by the Azerbaijani oil and gas company, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to use his office to influence U.S. foreign policy in favor of Azerbaijan,&#8221; the department said. 
Adding, &#8220;In exchange for the bribes paid by the Mexican bank, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to influence legislative activity and to advise and pressure high-ranking U.S. Executive Branch officials regarding measures beneficial to the bank.&#8221;
The Texas Democrat refuted the allegations in a released statement. Following their court appearance in Houston, the couple was granted bail. Should they be convicted, they may potentially endure decades behind bars, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68940479">reported</a> BBC. 
&#8220;I want to be clear that both my wife and I are innocent of these allegations,&#8221; the Congressman said on Friday.
Why It Matters: Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/09/34824846/us-senator-robert-menendez-wife-face-bribery-charges-will-it-cast-shadow-on-menendezs-career">faced similar charges</a> last year. He and his wife were indicted on criminal bribery charges for allegedly maintaining a &#8220;corrupt relationship&#8221; with three New Jersey businessmen. 
The indictment alleged that Menendez and his wife received &#8220;hundreds of thousands of dollars&#8221; in bribes and used the senator&#8217;s influence to enrich several businessmen from New Jersey and the Egyptian government.
&#8220;Over $480,000 in cash — much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe—was discovered in the home, along with over $70,000 in Nadine Menendez&#8217;s safe deposit box,&#8221; the indictment said, at the time.

Democratic Lawmaker Henry Cuellar And Wife Accused of Accepting $600K In Bribes: '...Are Innocent Of These Allegations,' Says Congressman

Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk on Friday expressed his appreciation for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37329071/tesla-investor-relations-head-thinks-baby-blue-wrap-is-a-brave-choice-on-cybertruck">Cybertruck wrap </a>designed after the P-51 Mustang Bomber. 
What Happened: &#8220;Cool,&#8221; Musk wrote in response to pictures of the new wrap shared by Unplugged Performance, an automotive customizer located near Tesla&#8217;s design center in Hawthorne, California. 
The P-51 Mustang Bomber-inspired wrap was designed for Mexican entrepreneur Alejandro Salomon. Every detail was hand drawn and the vehicle was paired with 20-inch UP-03 Beadlock wheels and BFG KO3 tires to complete the look, the designer said.

</figure>
&#8220;It&#8217;s unreal! Thank you for the hard and incredible work!!,&#8221; Salomon replied. 
About the P51 Mustang: The P-51 Mustang was a fighter bomber originally manufactured by North American Aviation, used during World War 2, and eventually phased out in 1957.
&#8220;Possessing excellent range and maneuverability, the P-51 operated primarily as a long-range escort fighter and also as a ground attack fighter-bomber. The Mustang served in nearly every combat zone during WWII, and later fought in the Korean War,&#8221; the National Museum of the United States Air Force says about the fighter. 
Tesla Wraps And Customization: Wraps are also available at Tesla&#8217;s online shop. However, Tesla-provided wraps are<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37907754/cybertruck-to-get-more-color-wrap-options-now-you-can-buy-teslas-truck-in-iridescent-purple-as-well"> either clear or color paint films</a> priced between $5000 to $6500. 
For customers looking for more individualistic wraps, third-party customizers offer more options.

Elon Musk Impressed By Tesla Cybertruck's World War 2 Inspired Wrap: 'Cool'

Mark Hamill, the iconic actor known for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" franchise, made an unexpected appearance at the White House press room on Friday, giving President Joe Biden a Star Wars-inspired nickname.
What Happened: Hamill, during his surprise visit to the White House press room, dubbed Biden &#8220;Joe-B-Wan Kenobi,&#8221; a playful nod to the &#8216;Star Wars&#8217; character Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Hamill, who was sporting sunglasses, began his address by asking the reporters if they had &#8220;Mark Hamill will lead the press briefing&#8221; on their bingo cards.
He then shared his experience of meeting Biden in the Oval Office, where he was given a pair of aviator glasses. When he asked if he could call the president &#8220;Joe-B-Wan Kenobi,&#8221; Biden agreed. Hamill also praised Biden&#8217;s work, calling him the "most legislatively successful president in my lifetime."
Hamill went on to add "I don't have to go through the list — the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the PACT Act, the CHIPS Act, all of that — Inflation. Fifteen million jobs. Look, it's all good."

This isn&#8217;t Hamill&#8217;s first visit to the White House. He had previously been to the Carter and Obama administrations but had never been invited to the Oval Office. This visit, he said, was particularly special.
Why It Matters: Hamill&#8217;s visit to the White House comes at a crucial time in U.S. politics. The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a tight race, with Biden and former President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38598789/trump-vs-biden-2024-election-frontrunners-tied-in-new-poll-which-candidate-gains-in-popularity-a">tied in the latest poll</a>.
This visit, along with Biden&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38475853/joe-biden-reverses-stance-agrees-to-debate-ex-president-ahead-of-2024-rematch-trump-makes-fun-of-me">agreement to debate Trump</a>, could potentially influence public opinion and voter sentiment.
Meanwhile, in a recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38475660/biden-reveals-personal-struggles-after-first-wifes-death-let-me-just-go-to-the-delaware-memorial-and">candid interview</a> with radio host Howard Stern, President Biden revealed his thoughts of suicide following the tragic death of his first wife and daughter. "I used to sit there and just think, ‘I'm going to take out a bottle of scotch,' I'm going to just drink it and get drunk,&#8217;" Biden said.

'Star Wars' Actor Mark Hamill Makes Surprise White House Appearance, Coins Biden 'Joe-B-Wan Kenobi'

Tesla and SpaceX CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;has expressed growing concern about the future of the U.S. dollar, citing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37851477/u-s-national-debt-has-increased-by-nearly-8-5-billion-per-day-over-the-past-year">escalating national debt</a> as a potential catalyst for an impending economic crisis.
What Happened: On Friday, Musk was replying to a user on X, formerly Twitter, when he voiced his apprehensions about the U.S. dollar&#8217;s stability. &#8220;We need to do something&nbsp;about our national debt or&nbsp;the dollar will be worth&nbsp;nothing.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The U.S. national debt has been a subject of growing concern. In March, it was reported that the national debt had been increasing at an alarming rate of nearly $8.5 billion per day over the past year. As of May 2, the total <a href="https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/debt-to-the-penny/debt-to-the-penny" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">national debt</a> stands at over $34 trillion.
Last month, the issue of the U.S. national debt&#8217;s sustainability was brought to the forefront by the International Monetary Fund or IMF deputy chief,&nbsp;Gita Gopinath, who stressed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/macro-notification/24/04/38337484/is-the-us-national-debt-unsustainable-we-cant-have-a-deficit-of-7-of-the-gdp">urgency of reducing the federal deficit</a> from its current 7% of GDP.
&#8220;The U.S. is running [a] very large deficit for a country with a strong demand, and they still have to deal with the last mile to bring inflation down,&#8221; Gopinath stated. 
Meanwhile, in an earlier post, Musk also suggested that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/04/38223975/elon-musk-has-a-fix-for-ticking-us-debt-bomb-but-it-has-a-slight-chance-of-killing-us">AI could potentially solve the debt crisis</a>. &#8220;AI will solve this (slight chance of killing us),&#8221; he said in April.

&nbsp;
Paramount told Skydance that it would not extend the Hollywood studio's exclusive window to negotiate a merger, two people with knowledge of the decisions said Friday, imperiling the deal but opening the door to other suitors for the owner of MTV and Nickelodeon.
The development throws up a major roadblock for Skydance, a movie studio that has been negotiating a complicated deal to merge with Paramount for months. Many Paramount investors have come out against that deal, saying it would <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/04/business/media/paramount-board-shari-redstone.html">enrich Shari Redstone</a>, the company's board chair, at the expense of other shareholders.
The 30-day period for exclusive talks with a special committee of Paramount's board expires at the end of Friday. It is unclear what Skydance, which was founded by the tech scion and producer David Ellison, and its backer, RedBird Capital Partners, will do next. The company could wait for Paramount to re-engage in negotiations, could make a higher bid or could walk away. The company is wary of being used by Paramount to drive up the price for another bidder.
Paramount's special committee will now probably focus on negotiating with another suitor, Sony Pictures Entertainment, which has teamed up with the private equity giant Apollo Global Management to make <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/02/business/media/sony-apollo-paramount-deal.html">a $26 billion bid</a> for the company. Paramount's shareholders prefer the all-cash offer — which would include the assumption of Paramount's debt — because it would give them a substantial premium on the company's current stock price.
&nbsp;
Paramount's special committee is set to meet on Saturday to discuss the deal, the two people with knowledge of the company's plans said.
The deal with Sony and Apollo is not without its own risk. Government regulations restrict foreign ownership of broadcast networks, like Paramount's CBS. Sony Pictures Entertainment is a division of the Tokyo-based Sony Group, and it's unlikely that it could obtain a license to own CBS. But there are potential remedies to that problem: Apollo could apply to hold the license to CBS, or the group could decide to sell the network.
Paramount's fate ultimately lies in Ms. Redstone's hands. Her control of National Amusements, Paramount's parent company, gives her the power to block any deal. Ms. Redstone has already signed off on a potential deal between Skydance and National Amusements that would allow her to sell her stake for around $2 billion, but that deal hinges on approval of a merger of Paramount and Skydance.
CNBC earlier <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/03/paramount-news-skydance-could-drop-bid-after-sony-apollo-offer.html">reported</a> that Paramount was planning to end exclusive negotiations with Skydance.

Growing wealth is not as difficult as it seems, according to a self-made millionaire Ramit Sethi. It's easy enough that Sethi thinks it takes only three "deceptively" simple steps to accumulate wealth and gain financial independence.
Sethi is the author of the book "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" which outlines a six-week process to help readers choose the right investments to make sure their money grows.
Whether you're worried about your home loans, student loans, or any other debt, or if it's about asking for that big raise you've been eyeing, Sethi has a strategy for you.
Sethi revealed three "boring" and "deceptively" simple steps to grow wealth, in an earlier interview <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/07/self-made-millionaire-ramit-sethi-no-1-way-to-grow-your-wealth.html">with</a> CNBC.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Steps To Grow Your Wealth</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Start Investing And Increase It Steadily</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03083837/Wealth-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-321378" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03083837/Wealth-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03083837/Wealth-1-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03083837/Wealth-1-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03083837/Wealth-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03083837/Wealth-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representational image of a person investing &#x7C; Photo courtesy: Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
The first step to becoming wealthy is to start investing. It's a habit and once formed, you can set it on autopilot and let the money grow itself.
"Invest a percentage of your income every year automatically and increase that percentage 1%."
Suppose you're wondering whether your investments can perform as well as those of rich people who have access to options that regular people don't. In that case, Sethi says they "typically do not perform better than a simple S&amp;P index fund."
Identify a simple low-cost index fund and get going.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Ask For The Salary You Want And Deserve</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084055/Wealth-2-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-321383" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084055/Wealth-2-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084055/Wealth-2-1-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084055/Wealth-2-1-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084055/Wealth-2-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084055/Wealth-2-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representational image of two people in an office &#x7C; Photo courtesy: Shutterstock</figcaption></figure>
Investing is one side of the wealth journey. Making sure you're able to invest consistently is the other aspect. For most people, the source is salary, and making sure you're getting the right salary is important.
"Learn the skills of negotiating your salary and getting paid what you're worth," says Sethi.
One good way to make sure you're getting paid right is by checking what others in the same position as you are being paid.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Develop A Side Hustle</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084119/Wealth-3-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-321384" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084119/Wealth-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084119/Wealth-3-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084119/Wealth-3-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084119/Wealth-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03084119/Wealth-3.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Representational image of a person working &#x7C; Photo courtesy: Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
While not everyone is a fan of hustling, the journey to making wealth requires you to put in that extra effort.
"If you really want to increase your earnings, consider starting a business on the side," suggests Sethi.
This hustle could be anything you like – the only idea is that you get more money out of it than you put in. It can even be a hobby, provided it can be made profitable.
