Darden Restaurants, FedEx And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

NVIDIA Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) key supplier for high-bandwidth memory chips SK Hynix (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXSCF#OTC">HXSCF</a>) declined over 6% on the South Korean exchange after Morgan Stanley&nbsp;downgraded the Korean memory chipmaker to underweight from overweight. 
What Happened: Morgan Stanley in a brokerage note slashed SK Hynix&#8217;s target price to 120,000 won from 260,000 won, citing the least preference for the stock among global memory makers, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-19/sk-hynix-shares-tumble-on-double-downgrade-at-morgan-stanley">reported</a> Bloomberg on Thursday.
"We prefer moving up to quality in Samsung and value-oriented end markets," wrote analysts Shawn Kim and Duan Liu. "Memory conditions are beginning to deteriorate. It will get tougher for revenue growth and margins from here as we move past late-cycle conditions."
The stock hit its lowest level since Feb. 19 after falling as much as 10%. Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) saw a 3.1% decline among other semiconductor shares traded in Seoul.

Not So Fast, Polymarket Traders Say</a>
Why It Matters:&nbsp;In July, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. increased SK Hynix&#8217;s stock-price target to 290,000 won ($210), indicating a potential gain of 25%. Meanwhile, Citigroup Inc. raised its prediction to 350,000 won during the same period. 
SK Hynix's parent company,&nbsp;SK Group, pledged to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39575498/nvidia-suppliers-parent-company-pledges-56b-investment-in-ai-chip-tech-by-2026-as-competition-from-s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;invest 80 trillion won</a>&nbsp;($56 billion) by 2026 in artificial intelligence and semiconductors, primarily in high-bandwidth memory chips, data centers, and personalized AI assistant services. This move is expected to strengthen its supply chains for emerging technology and bolster its position as a leading supplier to Nvidia.
The ongoing AI boom has put two South Korean chipmakers,&nbsp;Samsung&nbsp;and&nbsp;SK Hynix, in the spotlight. Industry experts are now discussing which company is the better investment in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38634543/ai-boom-puts-nvidia-suppliers-sk-hynix-samsung-in-spotlight-experts-discuss-best-so">this AI-driven market</a>.
Price Action: SK Hynix&nbsp;is currently trading at 151,800 won, with a decline of 6.76% on Thursday. The stock has gained 6.60% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s social media platform, X, formerly Twitter, had managed to temporarily bypass a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40664929/brazil-judge-bans-x-after-months-long-feud-threatens-fines-of-nearly-9k-per-day-on-users-who-try-to">ban in Brazil</a> with the help of an automatic update of its software.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the Brazilian Association of Internet and Telecommunications Providers, or ABRINT, said that X has modified its structure to use IP addresses associated with Cloudflare.
This alteration has made it difficult to block X in Brazil.
According to ABRINT, the new IP addresses used by X are shared with other legitimate services, including banks and large internet platforms "making it impossible to block an IP without affecting other services."

In a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-18/elon-musk-s-x-bypasses-brazil-ban-through-a-software-update">statement</a> to Bloomberg, the social media platform said that the restored access was "inadvertent and temporary," in Brazil. This happened after the company switched network providers following the ban.
"While we expect the platform to be inaccessible again in Brazil soon, we continue efforts to work with the Brazilian government to return very soon for the people of Brazil," the X spokesperson said.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: The ban on X was ordered by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes after the tech mogul refused to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40623911/brazilian-supreme-court-tells-elon-musk-to-appoint-legal-representative-for-x-in-24-hours-or-face-su">appoint a legal representative</a> in the country.
According to local media in Brazil, following the restored access, the court has asked Brazil&#8217;s telecoms regulator, Anatel, to explain the unauthorized access of X, the report noted
Previously, it was reported that the ban on X could impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40709109/elon-musks-brazil-standoff-for-x-could-impact-tesla-spacex-and-other-ventures-warns-expert">Musk's other ventures</a> including SpaceX and Tesla.
Last week, it was reported that the Brazilian Supreme Court has lifted the freeze on Starlink and X&#8217;s finances after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40864550/brazils-supreme-court-lifts-freeze-on-starlink-and-xs-finances-after-elon-musks-companies-cough-up-3">tech mogul paid $3.3 million in fines</a>.

Elon Musk&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40916098/elon-musks-spacex-launches-90th-mission-in-2024-with-over-a-third-of-launch-target-still-to-go">rocket manufacturing company</a> SpaceX on Wednesday tested the engines of its Starship launch vehicle for its sixth flight test, even while its fifth flight&#8217;s timeline remains uncertain.
What Happened: The company took to social media platform X to share pictures and videos from the static fire test. During a static fire test, the two-stage rocket&#8217;s first-stage engines are ignited but it does not leave the launchpad.
&#8220;Six engine static fire of Flight 6 Starship,&#8221; the company wrote.

Earlier this month, SpaceX said that Starship has been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40305893/starship-fifth-flight-delayed-spacex-ceo-elon-musk-gives-fresh-august-end-timeline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ready for its fifth flight test</a>&nbsp;since the first week of August but has been put off owing to "frivolous" and "patently absurd" licensing issues.
"Unfortunately, we continue to be stuck in a reality where it takes longer to do the government paperwork to license a rocket launch than it does to design and build the actual hardware," SpaceX said.
The company said that it recently received a launch license date estimate of late November for the fifth flight from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), marking a two-month delay from the previously communicated date of mid-September.
The delay, SpaceX said, was not based on a new safety concern but on "superfluous" environmental analysis including concerns about the Starbase facility having a negative impact on local flora and fauna. However, the company disputed these claims.
&#8220;Flight 5 is built and ready to fly. Flight 6 will be ready to fly before Flight 5 even gets approved by FAA!&#8221; SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday.

Past Flight Tests:&nbsp;SpaceX has conducted four flight tests with the Starship thus far.
SpaceX&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39226248/elon-musk-outlines-future-starship-goals-after-successful-fourth-flight-test" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">last launched Starship</a>&nbsp;in the first half of June. During the test, the two stages of the vehicle – the Starship spacecraft and the Super Heavy booster – separated, and the booster subsequently had a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. The spacecraft ignited its engines and went into space, made a controlled re-entry to Earth, and had a soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
The entire flight lasted one hour and six minutes from launch. The key object of the flight was to re-enter Earth and the mission achieved it while withstanding damage to the vehicle.
The flights before accomplished less. While the spacecraft failed to reach space in the first flight, it reached space and exploded in the second test flight. During the third flight test, the spacecraft broke apart when re-entering Earth's atmosphere from space.
Upcoming Flight:&nbsp;The two-stage Starship is touted as the world&#8217;s most powerful launch vehicle, standing 121 meters tall and weighing approximately 5,000 tonnes. For the upcoming flight, SpaceX's goal is to&nbsp;catch Starship's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39543299/spacex-preparing-to-catch-starship-booster-at-starbase-during-next-test-flight-instead-of-splashing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">booster stage back at Starbase</a>&nbsp;using the launch tower&#8217;s mechanical arms, marking a significant demonstration of Starship's reusability.
The company is relying on frequent test flights to test and enhance the capability of the vehicle. Musk said in March that Starship is expected to have at least six test flights this year. However, only two test flights have been completed to date in 2024.
Starship is key to NASA's dreams of taking humans back to the surface of the Moon.
NASA's Artemis 3 mission slated to launch no earlier than September 2026 is expected to enable humans to land back on the surface of the moon with the help of a lunar lander variant of the Starship spacecraft. The last time humans set foot on the Moon was in 1972&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36692749/just-a-worse-version-of-apollo-elon-musk-baffled-by-nasa-veterans-push-to-ditch-spacex-blue-origin-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with Apollo 17</a>. Since then, no crew has traveled beyond low-Earth orbit.
Musk, meanwhile, is eyeing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;taking humans to Earth's neighboring planet Mars</a>&nbsp;aboard the Starship. The first Starship launch to Mars, Musk said earlier this month, is expected in 2026 and will not have a crew on board.

Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump made headlines with a notable campaign stop in New York City.
What Happened: Former President Trump made a campaign stop at PubKey, a crypto-themed bar in New York, on Wednesday. Trump paid for smash burgers and Diet Cokes using Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/that-time-donald-trump-walked-into-a-bar-and-bought-a-round-using-bitcoin-92cf6dd0?mod=latest_headlines">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal.
Trump&#8217;s visit to PubKey, a popular spot among cryptocurrency enthusiasts, aimed to bolster his support from the crypto community. He declared the transaction as &#8220;history in the making&#8221; after using his iPhone to make the payment.
Mike Germano, president of Bitcoin Magazine, praised Trump, saying, &#8220;He's now one of us.&#8221; PubKey co-founder Andrew Newman called it a significant step in bitcoin history, emphasizing the movement behind the currency.
Trump, who once criticized bitcoin, has since embraced the industry. He has appeared at crypto conferences and received millions in campaign contributions made in cryptocurrencies. He promised a more favorable regulatory climate if re-elected.

Not So Fast, Polymarket Traders Say</a>
During the event, Trump reiterated his commitment to making the U.S. the &#8220;world capital for crypto and bitcoin.&#8221; He also pledged to halt work on central bank digital currencies and proposed creating a strategic national bitcoin stockpile and a bitcoin advisory council, according to the report.
PubKey also shared an image with Trump on X, captioning it: &#8220;One of the most historic transactions in #bitcoin history was just made.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s evolving stance on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40905315/donald-trumps-new-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-everything-you-need-to-know">cryptocurrency has been a significant shift</a>, especially given his previous criticisms. This transformation began to take shape earlier this year when he launched World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance platform centered around a crypto token. This move marked his formal embrace of blockchain technology.
Moreover, Trump has credited his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40901067/i-was-blown-away-donald-trump-credits-sons-for-introducing-him-to-crypto-marvels-at-nft-co">sons for introducing him to the world of crypto</a>, particularly noting the success of his NFT collection. He expressed his surprise at how quickly the collection sold out, which further fueled his interest in the digital asset space.
In the political arena, Trump&#8217;s pro-crypto <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40919168/ethereum-co-founder-says-donald-trump-is-certainly-the-favorite-over-kamala-harris-for-cry">stance has garnered attention</a>. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) co-founder Charles Hoskinson recently stated that Trump is &#8220;certainly the favorite&#8221; over Vice President Kamala Harris from a cryptocurrency perspective.
Additionally, Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Communications Director, has called for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40916521/anthony-scaramucci-calls-for-bipartisan-crypto-regulation-applauds-donald-trump-for-coming">bipartisan crypto regulation</a>, applauding Trump for his newfound support of the industry. Scaramucci believes this shift could encourage Democrats to adopt a more favorable stance on cryptocurrency regulation.
