("FECI") has agreed to provide a standby commitment (the "Standby Commitment") for a rights offering (the&nbsp;"Rights&nbsp;Offering") by Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. ("CUC") (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CUP#TSX">CUP</a>). Pursuant to the Rights Offering, CUC&nbsp;will issue up to an aggregate of 3,822,298 or 10% of its currently issued and outstanding Class&nbsp;A Ordinary Shares (the "CUC Shares").

Subject to certain customary terms and conditions, FECI may acquire up to 1,601,876 additional CUC Shares at the same price pursuant to the Standby Commitment. If there are no other subscribers in the Rights Offering, FECI will acquire a total of 3,822,298 CUC Shares through the Rights Offering and Standby Commitment for aggregate consideration of US$51,257,016.18.

The purpose of the Rights Offering is to provide CUC with capital to be used to finance alternative energy projects, ongoing additions and upgrades to its generation, transmission and distribution systems and for general corporate purposes.
Fortis will review its holdings in CUC Shares from time to time and may acquire additional securities or dispose of securities of CUC, in either case, in the open market, by private agreement or otherwise, depending on numerous factors, including without limitation, the availability of securities of CUC, economic conditions, market conditions and other business and investment opportunities available to Fortis.

Why Granite Point Mortgage Trust Shares Are Trading Higher; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

After weeks of uncertainty, Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris finally put her cryptocurrency cards on the table, eliciting mixed reactions from industry observers.
What happened: At a fundraising event at Wall Street, the vice president<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40972902/kamala-harris-finally-mentions-crypto-and-that-too-on-wall-street-promises-to-encourage-in"> vowed to protect</a> the interests of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and digital assets.
Harris' first-ever public mention of cryptocurrencies on the campaign trail got enthusiasts excited, especially the ones favoring her in the election
Anthony Scaramucci, CEO of investment firm SkyBridge Capital, said, "Kamala means Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in every language."

Another prominent market observer and founder of venture fund Cinneamhain Ventures, Adam Cochran, said Harris proved naysayers wrong with her "pro-digital assets" remark.

That said, neutral observers also welcomed Harris' crypto-friendly remark. Coinbase's Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad dubbed the statement "important and constructive."
"We should press for more, but her statement today means a lot and we should recognize that," the executive noted.

However, not everyone was convinced. Pierre Rochard, VP of Research at Riot Platforms, said that Harris was "fully aligned" with anti-cryptocurrency crusader Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on pushing central bank digital currencies and shadow-banning Bitcoin.

From making yearly design changes to moving to a three-year redesign cycle, the evolution of hardware innovation in Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones indicates that the tech giant is now relying on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40780100/apple-intelligence-ready-iphone-16-with-faster-processor-dedicated-camera-button-announced-check-pri">software upgrades more</a>.
What Happened: In its weekly &#8220;Power On&#8221; newsletter, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman spoke about the slow pace of hardware innovation, compared to its track record before 2010s.
According to Gurman, Apple&#8217;s yearly redesign schedule was deeply ingrained in its system until the mid-2010s.
However, by the launch of the iPhone X in 2017, Cupertino had moved to a three-year redesign cycle.
Then in 2020 came the iPhone 12, the tech giant's first iPhone to connect to 5G networks.
"After that, the redesign lag got even lengthier. Apple now appears to be working on a half-decade-long cycle," Gurman stated.

He noted that the iPhone 16 has a nearly identical look and feel to the iPhone 12. "Apple has added a lot other features between 2020 and 2024, but it's undeniable that the days of frequent hardware changes are over."
While it&#8217;s unclear if this has negatively impacted Apple&#8217;s sales, the company did experience a revenue decline last year, partly due to slower iPhone sales.
However, Gurman notes that a reliable group of customers upgrade every year or two due to the iPhone Upgrade Program, trade-in offers, or carrier installment programs.
For the iPhone 16 series, he said that despite the absence of major hardware upgrades, the iPhone 16 could be a hit product, given the focus on Apple Intelligence.
In fact, according to Gurman, it is a sign that Apple is now relying more on software to sell its new iPhones.

Why It Matters: Earlier this month, it was reported that many <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785959/iphone-16-fails-to-sway-some-chinese-buyers-im-going-to-buy-huaweis-tri-fold-phone-missing-ai-featur">Chinese buyers were</a> disappointed by the iPhone 16. They cited the lack of AI features in the models as the major reason behind this letdown.
Previously, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/09/40930388/apple-iphone-16-pre-orders-show-possible-low-demand-one-sign-could-point-to-company-breaking-this-em">iPhone 16 pre-order sales</a> have reached 37 million units, noting that the smartphone's demand could be low.
&#8220;Apple employees can already purchase the iPhone 16 with their employee discount. Typically, employees have had to wait several weeks after the release of new iPhone models before being able to buy. This could be another sign that the early demand for the iPhone 16 is below expectations,&#8221; he stated at the time.
iPhone 16 series has also been facing increasing competition in China as the country's top smartphone maker Huawei Technologies also launched its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40845772/huaweis-2-800-tri-fold-phone-has-the-potential-to-eat-apples-lunch-in-china-here-is-how-it-compares">tri-fold phone</a> during the same time as Apple.
Despite these challenges, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said that a strong start in the demand for iPhone 16 has kept Cupertino on track to hit a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40971882/as-apples-iphone-16-goes-on-sale-analyst-says-demand-off-to-strong-start-keeping-cu">$4 trillion market cap</a>.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) saw a 2.38% increase in its pre-market trading on Monday, following reports of a potential multi-billion dollar investments from Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968128/qualcomm-reportedly-eyes-potential-takeover-of-intel-amid-60-stock-decline-but-antitrust-concerns-lo">takeover interest from</a> Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>).
What Happened: Apollo, a U.S.-based asset management firm, is considering an equity-like investment of up to $5 billion in Intel, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-22/apollo-is-said-to-offer-multibillion-dollar-investment-in-intel">reported</a> on Sunday, citing an anonymous source. This news arrives at a time when Intel, once the world&#8217;s most valuable chipmaker, has seen its shares plummet by nearly 60% since the beginning of the year.
At the time of writing, Intel was trading at $22.36 while it closed at $21.84 on Friday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Despite Intel&#8217;s current vulnerability, the company is reportedly reviewing Apollo&#8217;s proposal. However, the talks are still in their early stages and have not been finalized. The size of the potential investment and the likelihood of a deal are both subject to change.
Earlier in the year, Apollo announced a separate $11 billion deal to acquire a 49% equity stake in a joint venture connected to Intel&#8217;s new manufacturing facility in Ireland.

Meanwhile, Qualcomm has also reportedly expressed interest in Intel, with CEO Cristiano Amon personally leading discussions for a potential acquisition. 
Apollo was up by 0.23% while Qualcomm was slightly lower at 0.25% during Monday pre-market. 
Why It Matters: Intel&#8217;s stock has been on a rollercoaster ride this year. The company reported a significant decrease in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40115276/intel-stock-falls-after-weak-q2-results-new-cost-reduction-plan-15-headcount-reduction">second-quarter earnings</a>, leading to a drop in its shares. This was followed by Apollo&#8217;s $5 billion investment offer, which has sparked a new wave of interest in the company.
Qualcomm&#8217;s potential acquisition of Intel, amid the latter&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968128/qualcomm-reportedly-eyes-potential-takeover-of-intel-amid-60-stock-decline-but-antitrust-concerns-lo">60% stock decline</a>, has also been a major point of discussion in the industry.

Intel's Stock Gains In Pre-Market Trading Following Reports Of Qualcomm's And Apollo's Investment Offer

Taylor Swift&#8216;s Eras Tour has led to a 25% increase in demand for United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) flights. The surge is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40824581/taylor-swifts-endorsement-of-kamala-harris-drives-over-330k-visitors-to-vote-gov">attributed to fans traveling to her concerts</a>.
What Happened: Andrew Nocella, United&#8217;s executive vice president and chief commercial officer, revealed at the Skift Global Forum 2024 on Wednesday that the airline closely monitors Swift&#8217;s tour dates and locations to adjust flight availability accordingly, the Observe <a href="https://observer.com/2024/09/taylor-swift-tour-25-percent-spike-united-airlines-demand/?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> on Thursday. 
&#8220;Quite frankly, we watch where Taylor goes because our demand booms,&#8221; Nocella stated.
The impact is significant for both domestic and international flights, with United previously offering discounts on flights coinciding with Swift&#8217;s U.S. concerts. The Eras Tour is projected to generate $4.6 billion in North America and £1 billion ($1.3 billion) in the U.K. economy.
Other airlines, like Southwest, have also noticed the trend, adding additional flights during Swift&#8217;s tour dates. United plans to enhance the travel experience further by introducing free Wi-Fi through a partnership with SpaceX&#8216;s Starlink, starting in late 2025, according to the report.

Why It Matters: Taylor Swift&#8217;s influence extends beyond music, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40824581/taylor-swifts-endorsement-of-kamala-harris-drives-over-330k-visitors-to-vote-gov">impacting various sectors including politics</a>. Her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president drove over 330,000 visitors to vote.gov, highlighting her political sway. This endorsement also led to a viral backlash, with a mother selling her daughter&#8217;s concert tickets in protest.
Swift&#8217;s concerts have also been the target of security threats. The CIA thwarted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40621481/cia-thwarts-isis-attack-on-taylor-swift-concert-in-vienna-preventing-huge-number-of-deaths-">an ISIS attack at her Vienna concert</a>, preventing potential mass casualties. This underscores the high stakes and extensive planning involved in ensuring the safety of her events.
Moreover, Swift&#8217;s cultural impact is evident in other areas. London&#8217;s Victoria and Albert Museum hosted a free art exhibition inspired by her Eras Tour, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39955352/taylor-swifts-eras-tour-inspires-free-art-exhibition-at-londons-v-a-museum-featuring-outfit">featuring her iconic outfits and personal memorabilia</a>. This exhibition attracted significant attention, further cementing her status as a cultural icon.
