Wells Fargo Maintains Equal-Weight on Redwood Trust, Raises Price Target to $8.5

ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHPT#NYSE">CHPT</a>) on Friday said it has received awards of more than $19 million through its partners to deploy 248 DC fast charging<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b40955960/chargepoint-receives-nevi-award-funding-to-proliferate-ev-charging-on-california-highways" rel="noreferrer noopener"> ports at 45 sites along California highways.</a>
The company&#8217;s shares are trading slightly lower. According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, CHPT stock has lost over 73% in the past year.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) and California Department of Transportation approved the awards last week as part of the state&#8217;s initial allocation of National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program funds.
&#8220;With the latest awards from California, ChargePoint and its partners continue to open NEVI-funded fast charging locations across the United States, ensuring all EV drivers can access charging when and where they need it via the ChargePoint mobile app,&#8221; said Rick Wilmer, President and CEO of ChargePoint.

The new ChargePoint charging stations will be situated along California&#8217;s busiest highways, where EV charger congestion is common. Expanding DC fast charging along key interstate routes, such as I-5, is essential for connecting the state&#8217;s largest cities and the surrounding communities with accessible and reliable charging options.
ChargePoint said it remains a strong player in the EV charging sector, securing NEVI awards with nearly $90 million allocated for about 150 sites through its partners.
These locations will feature approximately 700 fast charging ports across 21 U.S. states that have received funding so far. The NEVI program aims to promote the development of accessible and reliable DC fast charging solutions along U.S. highways.
Price Action: CHPT shares are trading lower by 2.62% to $1.393 at last check Friday.

In a significant trading blunder, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has sold 350,000 Pendle (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PENDLE</a>) tokens worth approximately $1.26 million just three months after he acquired a larger position in the token, realizing a $790,000 loss.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1837017238873751916">data </a>from blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, he had originally purchased 392,911 tokens for $2.2 million between May and June at an average price of $5.6 per token.
This recent sale comes after the value of the Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) based token dropped by over 40%, marking a sharp 36% decline in his investment.
The crypto research firm Lookonchain revealed the details of Hayes' transactions, and the sale has sparked debate regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39245578/arthur-hayes-outlines-crypto-trading-strategies-for-2024-bull-market-its-pretty-sim">his trading prowess</a>.
Hayes has been vocal about his bullish views on the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
Earlier this year, Hayes had confidently projected that Bitcoin could hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40377612/arthur-hayes-predicts-100-000-for-bitcoin-due-to-us-treasury-actions">a price of $1 million</a>.

Why It Matters: In an interview with Anthony Pompliano, Hayes expressed his belief that the global macroeconomic environment is driving the demand for Bitcoin, stating, &#8220;The macro environment is insane. Real yields&#8230;have been negative and have been negative since the global financial crisis.&#8221;
He went on to stress how Bitcoin&#8217;s appeal continues to grow as an alternative asset, particularly in the face of inflation and <a href="https://feeds2.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37829202/bitcoin-to-1m-insane-macro-will-make-it-happen-says-arthur-hayes-its-time-to-even-add-more">rising government debt.</a> 
He recently discussed the implications of the U.S. <a href="https://feeds2.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37829202/bitcoin-to-1m-insane-macro-will-make-it-happen-says-arthur-hayes-its-time-to-even-add-more">Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cuts</a> and their influence on the cryptocurrency market. 
&#8220;The first few rate cuts historically sparked Bitcoin rallies lasting 1-2 weeks,&#8221; Hayes said. 
However, he warned that long-term trends could be influenced by broader economic data, suggesting that the rally may not be sustainable without further monetary support.
Hayes had previously lauded the introduction of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40937057/bitcoin-ethereum-etfs-see-over-50m-net-outflows-despite-feds-50-bps-rate-cut">Bitcoin ETFs</a>, saying, &#8220;Now all the banks have a way to give these bond investors something else to buy,&#8221; highlighting how institutional involvement could further drive Bitcoin's value.
Given Hayes&#8217; influence and his recent trading moves, his role in shaping the future of digital assets will likely be a focal point of discussions at Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19.

The EV landscape is heating up, and three key players — Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Nio Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) and XPeng Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) — are battling for dominance. But who's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">winning the race</a>?
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla: The Global Titan</h1>
Tesla has been in the driver&#8217;s seat for years, and despite its stock being down 7.11% in the past year, it&#8217;s making bullish moves. Elon Musk's ambitious robotaxi plans could reshape urban transport, posing a threat to Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Lyft Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>).
Add to that a more affordable Tesla vehicle on the horizon, and the company is positioning itself to fend off Chinese competitors like BYD Co Ltd (OTCPK:BYDDF).

Technically, Tesla's in a sweet spot. The stock's trading at $243.92, comfortably above key moving averages such as the 20-day SMA of $220.34.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Nio: The Underdog With Momentum</h1>
Nio has taken a beating, with its stock down a staggering 38.78% over the past year. 
But don't count them out. NIO's strategic partnerships — such as securing batteries from BYD — and the launch of its cheaper ONVO L60 are targeting Tesla's price-sensitive consumers. The L60, priced below Tesla's Model Y in China, could be a game changer.

With an estimated 37.53% upside potential, Nio might be down, but it's far from out.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">XPeng: The Dark Horse</h1>
XPeng's stock has also struggled, down 42.57% year over year, but its progress is undeniable.
From rolling out its 500,000th vehicle to eyeing European markets with participation in the Paris Motor Show, XPeng is playing the long game.

Tesla leads with innovation and market dominance, but Nio and XPeng are closing the gap, especially in the price-sensitive Chinese market.
Keep an eye on the underdogs!

Tesla Vs. NIO Vs. XPeng: Will Robotaxis — Or Price Wars — Win The EV Battle?

Rent or mortgage payments are often the biggest monthly expenses in an individual&#8217;s life. One young homeowner found a way to flip her house payments into a source of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31180793/this-diyer-built-a-17k-tiny-home-that-generates-50k-a-year-now-he-works-just-2-hours-a-week">passive income</a>.
What To Know: CNBC contributor Precious Price, 26, built a luxury tiny home in her backyard for around $35,000 so she could free up her main house for rentals. Now she essentially gets paid to live out back.
&#8220;As I stared out the kitchen window into my huge backyard, something clicked: I could use that space to build a tiny home to live in, and fully rent out the main house,&#8221; Price&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/25/26-year-lives-for-free-in-luxury-tiny-home-she-built-for-35000-in-her-backyard-look-inside.html">wrote</a>.
In 2019, Price bought a 1,400-square-foot house in Georgia for just under $200,000. She got started by listing spare rooms on&nbsp;Airbnb Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/abnb#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) to generate extra income, but when the pandemic hit, the amount of people looking to share living quarters dried up.
That&#8217;s when she got the idea to build the tiny home in her backyard. She actually purchased a shed and hired contractors to build&nbsp;it out into a home, which helped to simplify the process. She paid off the entire cost of the build in less than two years.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40779967/diyer-builds-tiny-home-for-17k-that-brings-in-50k-a-year-in-almost-completely-passive-income#google_vignette">DIYer Builds Tiny Home For $17K That Brings In $50K A Year In &#8216;Almost Completely Passive&#8217; Income</a>
Price considers the 296-square-foot backyard house a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/living/best-luxury-house-plans/">luxury tiny home</a>&#8221; and she&#8217;s profiting from the build. She spends $1,580 per month on her mortgage, property taxes and utility bills, but she generates $2,725 per month by renting out the main house. That leaves her with close to $1,150 profit on a monthly basis, which means she&#8217;s getting paid close to $14,000 a year to live in her own backyard. 
There are some drawbacks. She&#8217;s had to downsize her wardrobe and cut back on hosting get-togethers, but it&#8217;s well worth it, she says. She&#8217;s even planning to add a guest suite to the main home to be able to offer more rental options.
&#8220;It's amazing what you can do with a bit of backyard space,&#8221; Price wrote.

Elanco conducted a head-to-head noninferiority study comparing the efficacy and safety of Zenrelia and Apoquel for submission in the European Union.
A study of 338 client-owned dogs with confirmed atopic dermatitis was conducted.
The study shows one daily dose of Zenrelia is at least as effective as the market incumbent JAK inhibitor at the primary endpoint on Day 28.
<ul>
<li>Zenrelia provided consistently greater relief from itch and skin lesions over time, with once-daily dosing from the start, while rebound itch was observed in Zoetis Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>) Apoquel (oclacitinib)-treated dogs after dosing decreased to once daily after Day 14.</li>
<li>77% of Zenrelia-treated dogs achieved clinical remission of itch, compared to 53% of Apoquel-treated dogs.</li>
</ul>
William Blair highlights that Zenrelia&#8217;s label includes a warning advising discontinuation 28 days to 3 months before any vaccination. This raises concerns about whether veterinarians will readily adopt the new skin product, given the extra precautions needed, especially considering some dogs receive vaccines as frequently as once a year.
In reviewing the clinical data, it was noted that the placebo effect in Zenrelia&#8217;s FDA study was significantly higher than in Apoquel&#8217;s, suggesting that Apoquel&#8217;s actual impact on atopic dermatitis may be more robust than Zenrelia&#8217;s.
This raises doubts about Zenrelia&#8217;s true efficacy in comparison. Additionally, William points out that adverse events, such as diarrhea and vomiting, occurred at twice the rate in Zenrelia&#8217;s FDA study than in Apoquel&#8217;s.
The analyst notes that investor expectations for Zenrelia over the next two years are already elevated. However, due to lingering uncertainties, William prefers to wait for concrete execution before assessing if it can sustainably impact the P&amp;L statement. The analyst maintained the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELAN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Market Perform rating.</a>
Price Action: ELAN stock traded lower by 4.18% at $14.44 at the last check Friday.

Elanco's Dermatology Treatment Secures FDA Approval For Itchy Dogs, Analyst Highlights Label Warnings And Efficacy

On Thursday after market close, FedEx Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fdx#NYSE">FDX</a>) issued its first quarter results as it undergoes a significant transformation led by CEO Raj Subramaniam. The parcel giant reported a sharp fall in profits due to weak demand for high-margin speedy delivery services and lowered its annual revenue forecast. With customers trading down to economy delivery services, FedEx share price tanked 11% upon the report during late trading as the latest results show how bumpy and messy transformations get, also dragging down the shares of its rival, United Parcel Service Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ups#NYSE">UPS</a>) by 2.5%.
First quarter results hurt&nbsp;by weaker-than-expected demand, particularly in the U.S. domestic package market.
Fiscal first quarter results were negatively affected by a change in service preferences, with reduced demand for priority services, increased demand for deferred services and constrained yield growth. The consumer shift towards&nbsp;cheaper delivery options&nbsp;is also affecting United Parcel Service.&nbsp;But UPS blamed squeezed profits on flood of volume from China-linked e-commerce players&nbsp;such as Temu and Shein, while FedEx focused more on lowered priority shipments between businesses.&nbsp;
With stagnant revenue of $21.6 billion, adjusted profit fell to $3.60 per share, down from $4.55 per share earned during last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter.
Cost cuts failed to offset the weak demand for lucrative priority services, in addition to one fewer operating day during the quarter.
<h3>A Cut Outlook For The Fiscal Year</h3>
While it previously expected a low-to-mid-digit revenue increase, FedEx now guided for revenue growth in low-single-digit percentages. With a challenged macroeconomic environment and competitive pricing, FedEx also narrowed down its previously given adjusted earnings per share range that was from $20 to $22 to $20 and $21 per share.&nbsp;
In addition, FedEx also in the process of winding down its contract work for its biggest client, United States Postal Service (USPS). The contract will end on September 29th&nbsp;with that business being picked up by UPS, taking out $500 million from FedEx&rsquo;s current fiscal year revenue. During the latest fiscal year, the unprofitable USPS air contract brought about $1.75 billion in revenue to FedEx.
Complex restructuring provides a long-term&nbsp;glimpse of optimism.
FedEx aims to slash billions of dollars in overhead costs and improve operational efficiencies while merging its separate Ground and Express delivery divisions. During summer, Wall Street Journal reported that transportation experts expect FedEx to consider spinning off its Freight unit. Subramaniam remains optimistic, reaffirming that the company&rsquo;s &ldquo;DRIVE&rdquo; strategy will result in $2.2 billion permanent cost reduction. As J.P. Morgan analyst Brian P. Ossenbeck&nbsp;noted, things should get better if DRIVE-driven savings accelerate throughout the rest of the year and pricing power picks up during the peak season.
