RANI

RANI stock has given up its prior gain. Rani Therapeutics shares were trading higher after the company announced it has unveiled preclinical data at ENDO 2025 for the RaniPill capsule.

<p>Shares of <strong>GameStop Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) are climbing marginally higher Monday afternoon, lifted potentially by a powerful rally in the cryptocurrency market that saw <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) soar to a new all-time high of over $123,000. </p>
<p>As a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46201788/public-companies-are-quietly-building-massive-bitcoin-treasuries-faster-than-etfs-can-keep-up">holder of Bitcoin</a> in its corporate treasury, the video game retailer appears to be benefitting from the broad enthusiasm for digital assets.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> The stock's gain Monday afternoon follows a week of unusual news for the company, which is currently auctioning off an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/07/46382308/gamestop-auction-sees-over-200k-bid-for-stapler-that-broke-nintendo-switch-2-consoles">infamous stapler</a> responsible for damaging a <strong>Nintendo Switch 2</strong> screen. </p>
<p>CEO <strong>Ryan Cohen</strong> has added a personal touch to the charity event, promising to include his own underwear and personally deliver the items if bidding exceeds $1 million. The auction, benefiting the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, had already attracted bids over $218,000 by last Friday.</p>
<p>This recent positive sentiment contrasts with investor reaction <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45912870/gamestops-bitcoin-strategy-draws-skepticism-amid-1-75b-debt-offering">last month</a> when GME shares fell sharply after the company announced plans to issue $1.75 billion in convertible notes.</p>
<p>The move was widely seen as a tactic to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions, drawing criticism from analysts who argue the company is using financial engineering to distract from its struggling retail operations. For now, the crypto market&#8217;s bullish momentum is likely providing a tailwind for the stock.</p>
<p><strong>Benzinga Edge Rankings:</strong> Based on its <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> rankings, GameStop presents a mixed financial profile. The company scores exceptionally high for Growth with a rating of 99.35, indicating it possesses very strong characteristics in this area. </p>
<p>In stark contrast, its Momentum score is low at 19.21, suggesting weak recent price performance compared to the market. The stock is considered to have a neutral valuation, with a Value score of 49.04, implying it is neither significantly cheap nor expensive.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, GME shares are trading higher by 1.2% to $23.61 Monday afternoon. The stock has a 52-week high of $35.81 and a 52-week low of $18.73.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy GME Stock</h2>
<p>By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for GameStop &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.</p>
<p>Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.</p>
<p>In the case of GameStop, which is trading at $23.56 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 4.24 shares of stock.</p>
<p>If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a>  Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.</p>

What's Going On With GameStop Stock?

<p><strong>Shopify Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after Needham &amp; Company initiated coverage on the stock with a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/07/46390268/uber-to-rally-more-than-14-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-monday"> Buy rating and a $135 price target. </a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> The bullish initiation came alongside a separate price target increase from Baird. The positive analyst attention helped push Shopify's stock to $116.97 during the session<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-14/autodesk-is-said-to-drop-pursuit-of-software-firm-ptc?srnd=technology-ai&amp;embedded-checkout=true">, according to Bloomberg.</a></p>
<p>In its report, Needham highlighted Shopify's long-term growth potential, stating that the company remains in the middle phase of a durable growth cycle rather than approaching maturity. The firm pointed to Shopify's significant investments in international markets and B2B commerce as key drivers of its next growth phase. Needham sees these areas as underpenetrated and critical to Shopify's ability to sustain double-digit revenue growth over the coming years.</p>
<p>Needham also noted Shopify's strong operating leverage and free cash flow expansion as factors supporting its bullish view. Over the past few years, Shopify has expanded its non-GAAP operating margins from just above breakeven pre-pandemic to over 16% in fiscal year 2024. The firm projects that margin expansion could continue, pushing free cash flow margins toward 20% by fiscal year 2027. Needham expects Shopify's free cash flow to grow by 26% in fiscal year 2025, with steady growth continuing into fiscal year 2026.</p>
<p>The firm acknowledged some risks, particularly Shopify's exposure to shifts in consumer spending, given the company's reliance on payments within its business model. However, Needham believes the size of Shopify's total addressable market and its strength as a platform provider mitigate those concerns. The report emphasized that Shopify's ease of use, extensive app ecosystem, and ability to scale with customers have made it a dominant player in the global e-commerce space.</p>
<p>Needham&#8217;s coverage initiated on the belief that Shopify can maintain revenue growth of 20% or more for the next few years, backed by its position in the growing international e-commerce market and its push into B2B solutions. With the company trading at roughly 26 times next-twelve-months gross profit, the firm views Shopify's valuation as justified given its consistent financial performance and growth outlook.</p>
<p>Shopify's rally on Monday reflects renewed investor confidence following the positive analyst coverage. The company's shares have traded between $48.56 and $129.38 over the past year, with Monday's gains pushing the stock closer to the upper end of that range.</p>
<p><strong>SHOP Price Action:</strong> Shopify shares were up 4.14% at $116.75 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a></p>

Shopify Shares Are Up Monday: What's Going On?

<p>The S&amp;P 500's July rally to fresh record highs hides a troubling divide at the index's core—one not seen since the early 2000s—and no, this time it has nothing to do <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">with Trump's trade policies.</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500 Hits Records, But Most Stocks Miss The Party</h3>
<p>While the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) has surged to new record highs,  its equal-weighted counterpart, the <strong>Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSP#NYSE">RSP</a>), is telling a very different story. </p>
<p>The ratio between SPY and RSP has now climbed to its highest level since August 2003, underscoring the narrowest market breadth in over two decades.</p>
<p>In plain terms, a small group of megacap stocks is carrying the rally, while the average stock is lagging behind. </p>
<p>The median S&amp;P 500 constituent is now 11% below its 52-week high, and RSP is down 3% from its late-2024 peak, despite the cap-weighted index breaking records.</p>
<p>Market breadth refers to the number of stocks participating in a rally. Right now, it's historically thin. That's raising eyebrows among investors, not because the bull run is over, but because the gains are concentrated in just a handful of high-performing names.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="525" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14143714/SPY_RSP_2025-07-14_14-07-27_83d76-1024x525.png" alt="" class="wp-image-984577" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14143714/SPY_RSP_2025-07-14_14-07-27_83d76-1024x525.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14143714/SPY_RSP_2025-07-14_14-07-27_83d76-300x154.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14143714/SPY_RSP_2025-07-14_14-07-27_83d76-768x394.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14143714/SPY_RSP_2025-07-14_14-07-27_83d76-1536x788.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/14143714/SPY_RSP_2025-07-14_14-07-27_83d76-2048x1050.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Going On With Market Breadth?</h2>
<p>According to Goldman Sachs' analyst<strong> </strong>David J. Kostin, the narrow breadth could set the stage for a short-term shift.</p>
<p>"If our economic and earnings outlooks prove correct, more momentum rotation is likely in store," Kostin said.</p>
<p>Historical data from Goldman shows that during strong macroeconomic turns, lagging stocks tend to catch up—even if the high-flying leaders cool off.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also an important valuation angle here. Stocks with strong profit margins and solid balance sheets are now trading at significant premiums, while so-called "low quality" stocks remain discounted. If macro conditions improve—meaning lower rates and easing trade tensions—there's room for a rotation into those underperformers.</p>
<p>Still, Kostin remains cautious. "For ‘low quality' stocks to outperform over an extended horizon, we think investors would need to embrace an outlook for stronger economic growth and lower interest rates than our current forecasts indicate," he said.</p>

Reuters Reports U.S. Supreme Court Blocks Judge's Order That Halted Trump Administration From Gutting Department Of Education

Oil is trading lower. President Trump announced that he will impose 100% tariffs on Russia and secondary sanctions on other countries that purchase oil from Russia, unless a deal is struck within 50 days.

<p>The stock market usually goes up. Over 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year periods, the S&amp;P 500 on average has generated positive returns.</p>
<p>That trend even applies to record market highs. As data from JP Morgan Asset Management shows, investing specifically at all-time highs generated even higher average returns over these time horizons.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WVWM!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72ec9d49-cc50-4bf2-843e-3d336a57610f_2904x2130.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WVWM!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72ec9d49-cc50-4bf2-843e-3d336a57610f_2904x2130.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Buying at all-time highs is as good as or better than buying at any other level.

<p>"Investors usually use all-time highs as a reason to stay in cash or on the sidelines," JP Morgan analysts&nbsp;<a href="https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-management/adv/insights/market-insights/guide-to-the-markets/">wrote</a>. "However, history suggests that investing at all-time highs is not a bad strategy because new highs are typically clustered together. In other words, market strength begets more market strength."</p>
<p>If you have money to put to work in the stock market, it's reasonable first to ask if market conditions are attractive.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it's impossible to know if or when prices will fall before climbing again. And waiting for lower prices&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/47388754/turning-negative-fluctuations-into-permanent-losses">risks missing out on important gains</a>.</p>
<p>The key question is whether you are willing and able to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/best-investment-advice-time">put in the time</a>. The longer your investment timeframe, the better your&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/best-investment-advice-time">odds of generating a positive return</a>.</p>
<p>The best thing about all this is knowing that you don't have to be a good market timer to be a successful investor.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Checking in on the unluckiest market timer I know</h2>
<p>I recently wrote about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/sam-ro-unlucky-market-timer">the unluckiest market timer I know</a>. This unfortunate fellow&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/weekly-trades-market-timing">has a history</a>&nbsp;of making big, lump-sum purchases near market tops.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, that unlucky market timer is me.</p>
<p>After doing my 2024 tax returns in February, I learned I had some extra cash to put to work. So, I tossed it into my self-employed 401(k) plan and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/sam-ro-unlucky-market-timer">made a lump sum purchase of an S&amp;P 500 index fund</a>&nbsp;on Feb. 18.</p>
<p>The market climbed to a new record high the very next day. That ended up being a top, and from there the S&amp;P 500 proceeded to fall by around 20% before bottoming on April 7.</p>
<p>But was I as unlucky as I felt in the moment? As&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/stock-market-down-days-drawdowns-down-years-normal">unpleasant</a>&nbsp;as that experience was, I knew&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/best-investment-advice-time">I had the luxury of time</a>&nbsp;and that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/stock-market-performance-after-down-days">I shouldn't let my emotions get near my portfolio</a>.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On DuPont de Nemours Through 9 Analysts

<p>In the current session, the stock is trading at $47.20, after a <strong>0.13%</strong> increase. Over the past month, <strong>U.S. Bancorp Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>)</strong> stock increased by <strong>10.15%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>8.63%</strong>. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.</p>

<h3>Evaluating U.S. Bancorp P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. </p>
<p>U.S. Bancorp has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>12.96</strong> of the Banks industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>

<p>In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes. </p>
