Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) plans to invest over $200 million to expand advanced recycling operations at its Baytown <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42109739/exxonmobil-to-expand-advanced-recycling-capacity" rel="noreferrer noopener">and Beaumont facilities in Texas</a>.
The expansions, set to begin in 2026, aim to boost recycling rates and reduce plastic waste in landfills.
The company also intends to add more units to achieve a global recycling capacity of 1 billion pounds annually by 2027.
ExxonMobil's investment will add 350 million pounds of advanced recycling capacity annually at its Baytown and Beaumont facilities, increasing its total capacity to 500 million pounds per year.
The company aims to develop additional projects across North America, Europe, and Asia, targeting 1 billion pounds of global recycling capacity by 2027.
This process complements traditional recycling by converting plastic waste into raw materials for products like fuels, lubricants, chemicals, and plastics, effectively addressing waste that mechanical recycling cannot process.
ExxonMobil&#8217;s first advanced recycling facility in Baytown, launched in 2022, is among the largest in North America, processing over 70 million pounds of plastic waste as of October 2024.
Karen McKee, president of ExxonMobil Product Solutions, said, &#8220;At our Baytown site, we&#8217;ve proven advanced recycling works at scale, which gives us confidence in our ambition to provide the capacity to process more than 1 billion pounds of plastic per year around the world.&#8221;
&#8220;The world&#8217;s plastic waste challenge will be solved with innovation, collaboration, and supportive government policy to improve waste management and circularity.&#8221;
Yesterday, the company inked a non-binding MOU for a multiyear agreement with&nbsp;LG Chem, a&nbsp;chemical company with a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/24/11/42087743/exxon-mobils-lithium-leap-100000-metric-tons-to-fuel-lg-chems-us-plant" rel="noreferrer noopener">diversified business portfolio</a>.
ExxonMobil will supply up to 100,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate from its planned U.S. project to LG Chem's upcoming cathode plant in Tennessee, which is set to be the largest in the U.S.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Dips Aggressively Bought</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-nvidia-earnings-nvda-mc-11212024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of NVDA stock is being used to illustrate the point. As full disclosure, NVDA is part of The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Model Portfolio.</li>
<li>The chart shows the dip in NVDA stock has been aggressively bought.</li>
<li>The chart shows that NVDA stock dipped into the support zone after earnings.&nbsp; The buying in NVDA this morning has been extremely aggressive as illustrated by the fact that NVDA traded as high as $149.40 vs. the prior high of $149.77.</li>
<li>The chart shows the NVDA bounced from the support zone to the resistance zone.</li>
<li>As of this writing, NVDA stock is very volatile.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, a tell for the stock market will be to see if NVDA stock breaks out or retraces back to the support zone.</li>
<li>Nvidia reported earnings better than the consensus numbers, better than some whisper numbers, but less than the top end of the whisper numbers.</li>
<li>Overheating was a big concern going into earnings.&nbsp; It appears that most of the overheating issues have been resolved.&nbsp; Here are the key points from Nvidia earnings:
<ul>
<li>Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said, "The age of AI is in full steam, propelling a global shift to Nvidia computing."</li>
<li>Blackwell demand is likely to exceed supply in FY26.</li>
<li>Hopper demand is also very strong.</li>
<li>Nvidia is working on the next data center architecture that will improve production yields.</li>
<li>Nvidia expects enterprise AI, industrial AI, and robotics to continue to increase.</li>
<li>Nvidia beat on revenue.
<ul>
<li>Data center revenue and automotive revenue hit records.</li>
<li>Gaming revenue increased 15% from last year.</li>
<li>Professional visualization revenue increased 17% from last year.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The fact that NVDA dips are being aggressively bought is helping the overall stock market.</li>
<li>Also helping the stock market this morning is Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) approaching $100K.</li>
<li>Sentiment is extremely positive.</li>
<li>Investors are buying stocks and cryptos with total abandon.&nbsp; If it was not for the positive seasonality and year end chase, this kind of reckless buying would have resulted in increasing the protection band because extreme positive sentiment is historically a sell signal.&nbsp; However, The Arora Report call remains to buy the dips because the year end chase is likely to trump all other factors.&nbsp; In year end chase, even bearish money managers aggressively buy stocks to keep up with their benchmarks.</li>
<li>Initial jobless claims came at 213K vs. 221K consensus.&nbsp; This indicates that the job market is very strong.&nbsp; This is another data point that shows that the Fed should not have been cutting interest rates as aggressively as it did. In the short term, the Fed's actions have poured gasoline over the fire to aggressively buy stocks and cryptos.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">First ICBM Fired</h3>
The first operational intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was developed by Russia in 1957, followed by development by the U.S. in 1959.&nbsp; To the best of our knowledge, Russia has fired the first ICBM in battle since its invention.&nbsp; This is Russia's response to Ukraine firing U.S. and British long range missiles on Russian territory.
In The Arora Report analysis, both Russia and Ukraine are escalating the conflict to gain an advantage before Trump stops the war.&nbsp; These developments have major implications for investors.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Problem For India</h3>
Gautam Adani is the most important industrialist in India.&nbsp; He is also very closely allied with India&#8217;s Prime Minister Modi.&nbsp; The U.S. Department of Justice has just indicted Adani for bribes in solar contracts.
The Indian stock market has fallen on the news.  In The Arora Report analysis, some foreign money is going to flow out of India on this development.  The Arora Report call has been to steadily take partial profits on India positions Fairfax India Holdings Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFXDF#OTC">FFXDF</a>), WisdomTree India Earnings Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPI#NYSE">EPI</a>), iShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMIN#BATS">SMIN</a>), and VanEck India Growth Leaders ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLIN#NYSE">GLIN</a>).  The Arora Report&#8217;s call yesterday evening was to take more partial profits on India positions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Bitcoin is approaching $100K.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Kyndryl Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KD#NYSE">KD</a>) is boosting investor confidence with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KD/news">the announcement of</a> its first-ever share repurchase program, worth $300 million.
The International Business Machines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) spin-off is using the buyback to return capital to shareholders, signaling its belief in sustainable growth despite a competitive market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Share Repurchase Reflects Management's Confidence</h3>
The new repurchase program comes as Kyndryl sees significant progress in both its financials and operational transformation. CEO Martin Schroeter emphasized that the buyback underscores Kyndryl's success in expanding its margins and generating free cash flow. The program allows the company to strengthen its capital structure while remaining flexible for future strategic moves.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">KD Stock Performance Shows Strength</h3>
Kyndryl's stock has demonstrated impressive momentum over the past year. Up 87% in 2023 and almost 40% year-to-date in 2024, the company has significantly outpaced market expectations. 
This growth comes despite broader industry challenges, with Kyndryl's mission-critical IT services gaining traction, especially in cybersecurity and AI-driven solutions.
The technical indicators for Kyndryl stock also align with this growth, providing strong bullish signals for investors.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112124&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
KD stock, at $30.44, trades above its five, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages, a strong sign of upward momentum. The eight-day simple moving average (SMA) of $28.51 suggests a bullish signal for the short-term, as does the 20-day SMA of $26.16. The stock's 50-day SMA of $24.74 further supports this, reinforcing that Kyndryl is on a bullish path even over the medium term.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator stands at 1.36, further suggesting that Kyndryl's stock momentum is bullish. 
However, with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 79.50, the stock is in the overbought territory, which means that momentum has peaked and investors could expect a reversal from here.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead: A Focus On Sustainable Growth</h3>
With over three years as a public company, Kyndryl is entering a new phase of revenue growth and profitability. The $300 million share buyback reflects the company's ongoing transformation and its ability to thrive amid industry challenges. 
For investors, Kyndryl's strong stock performance, backed by positive technical indicators, signals confidence, but caution is advised due to the current overbought conditions.

Trump's mandate for change after winning the election could influence European leaders to alter course. Germany&#8217;s <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-media-react-to-donald-trumps-us-election-victory-v2/a-70715243">most widely read tabloid, Bild, said</a> that the US election was &#8220;the last warning signal for our government&#8221; to address voters&#8217; grievances.
Like their American counterparts, many <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/eu-tilts-right-as-economy-migration?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">European voters are frustrated</a> with their economic prospects and political leadership. They are <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/europe-frets-about-trump-presidency?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">concerned about geopolitical instability</a> impacting Europe with the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East.&nbsp;
Trump's "peace through strength" policy had successfully fostered stability in Europe and the Middle East. <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/energy/energy-diplomacy/trump-hails-record-of-no-new-wars-while-in-office/31647">His supporters point to</a> the fact there were no new wars during his last administration.&nbsp;
Under President Joe Biden, through, Europe witnessed the Russian invasion of Ukraine and an escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel. The latest US policy shift by the outgoing president on Ukraine has also caused jitters in global markets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Markets Fall After US Shifts Ukraine Policy</h3>
European markets moved lower after Biden <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/us/politics/biden-ukraine-russia-atacms-missiles.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">authorized the first use </a>of the US-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine inside Russia. The DAX Index fell, bringing its one-month decline to 1.5%. Poland's main stock index (WIG) sank more than 7%.

After Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to target sites within Russia, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4v0rey0jzo">Vladimir Putin approved changes</a> to Russia's nuclear doctrine. The doctrine now says an attack from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, will be treated as a joint assault on Russia.
In Washington, lawmakers in both parties generally supported Biden's policy change. "In a month-and-a-half, you're going to have a new president, and Russia will probably sue for peace," Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) said. "So let them defend themselves, punch Russia back in the face."&nbsp;&nbsp;
That show of support for Ukraine may reassure European politicians fretting about the new Trump administration.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Europe Concerns About Trump's Ukraine Policy ‘Unrealistic'</h3>
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has expressed concern about <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/prospect-of-trumps-return-stokes-anxiety-in-europe/a-69686356" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump&#8217;s unwillingness to support Ukraine</a>. But Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) and Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), swept aside these fears.&nbsp;
"You probably can't simply retreat from Ukraine without it just <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://youtu.be/wwJV_NuN43Y?si=_Acn9qUqGsyJbNuO">becoming a route</a>," he said on November 14. "I don't think President Trump wants a repeat of what happened with Biden in Afghanistan."
Thiel was referring to the Biden administration's "<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/30/politics/state-deparment-afghanistan-withdrawal-report/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chaotic</a>" 2021 withdrawal, widely perceived as a major US foreign policy failure.&nbsp;&nbsp;
British Defense Minister John Healey characterized as "<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://news.sky.com/story/amp/donald-trump-committed-to-nato-and-right-to-push-europe-to-increase-funding-uk-defence-secretary-john-healey-says-13252519">unrealistic</a>" accusations that Trump's return would be "a disaster for Europe" and "undermining" of NATO. Former EU official Thierry Breton said Trump's re-election "<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1855804917103124893">accelerated</a>" policymakers' discussions about resolving the conflict.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This would be accompanied by US security guarantees, in exchange for temporary deferment of full Ukrainian NATO membership.&nbsp;&nbsp;
During Trump's first term, he pressured European North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members to increase their defense spending to 2% of GDP. In 2017, only four NATO members had reached the alliance&#8217;s target, compared to the 23 expected this year.&nbsp;
Trump "was right," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://news.sky.com/story/amp/donald-trump-committed-to-nato-and-right-to-push-europe-to-increase-funding-uk-defence-secretary-john-healey-says-13252519">said</a>. "You have a president who is experienced, who is extremely clear about what he wants. He will push us all to spend more on defense and he is right on this."&nbsp;
Rutt made his comments during a gathering of European leaders in Budapest on November 7 to "<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20241027-europe-guardrails-tries-to-trump-proof-security-nato">Trump-proof</a>" Europe.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Mideast Engagement&nbsp;Could Support European Stability</h3>
During his first term, the Trump administration's <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/return-peace-strength-trump-obrien">Abraham Accords</a> established peace between Israel and four additional Arab nations. The US withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal was crucial in significantly crippling Iran&#8217;s regional influence.&nbsp;
These efforts simultaneously restricted Tehran's access to international markets and limited its ability to fund regional conflicts. Iran supports proxy forces in Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.&nbsp;

Telomir Pharmaceuticals shares are trading higher after the company announced preclinical results confirming the efficacy of Telomir-1.

Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) shares are ripping higher Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected financial results for the third quarter and raised guidance. Several analysts raised price targets following the print. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099986/snowflake-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-guidance-raise-ai-acquisition-anthropic-partnership-and-more">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: Snowflake beat analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines in the third quarter, reporting revenue of $942.09 million versus estimates of $896.99 million, and adjusted earnings of 20 cents per share versus estimates of 15 cents per share, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Total revenue was up 28% year-over-year. Product revenue came in at $900.3 million, up 29% year-over-year. Net revenue retention rate was 127% in the quarter.&nbsp;Remaining performance obligations totaled $5.7 billion, up 55% year-over-year.
Snowflake guided for fourth-quarter product revenue in the range of $906 million to $911 million, and raised its full-year product revenue forecast from $3.356 billion to $3.43 billion, representing 29% year-over-year growth.
"Our obsessive drive to produce product cohesion and ease of use has built Snowflake into the easiest and most cost-effective enterprise data platform. That is what's leading us to win new logo after new logo, expand within our customer base, and displace our competition over and over again," said&nbsp;Sridhar Ramaswamy,&nbsp;CEO of Snowflake.
In connection with the earnings release, Snowflake said it signed a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42099044/snowflake-agrees-to-acquire-open-data-integration-platform-datavolo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">definitive agreement</a>&nbsp;to acquire enterprise AI company Datavolo and announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42099092/snowflake-and-anthropic-team-up-to-bring-claude-models-directly-to-the-ai-data-cloud" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">strategic multi-year partnership</a>&nbsp;with Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)-backed AI data cloud company&nbsp;Anthropic. 
Analysts React: Several analysts raised price targets on Snowflake following the company&#8217;s quarterly results.
<ul>
<li>Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin reiterated Snowflake with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">Overweight</a> and raised the price target from&nbsp;$165&nbsp;to&nbsp;$185.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Needham analyst Mike Cikos maintained Snowflake with a Buy and raised the price target from&nbsp;$160&nbsp;to&nbsp;$200.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Rosenblatt analyst Blair Abernethy maintained Snowflake with a Buy and raised the price target from&nbsp;$180&nbsp;to&nbsp;$186.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Keybanc analyst Eric Heath maintains Snowflake with an Overweight and raised the price target from&nbsp;$150&nbsp;to&nbsp;$185.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Evercore ISI Group analyst Kirk Materne maintained Snowflake with an Outperform and raised the price target from&nbsp;$170&nbsp;to&nbsp;$190.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Wells Fargo analyst Michael Turrin maintained Snowflake with an Equal-Weight and raised the price target from&nbsp;$125&nbsp;to&nbsp;$150.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan reiterated Snowflake with a Buy rating and maintained a price target of $220.</li>
</ul>
In a new note to clients on Thursday, Needham&#8217;s Cikos said the quarter gave him increased conviction to lift estimates, raising the price target to $200. The analyst expects large order strength to continue into the fourth quarter. 
Piper Sandler&#8217;s Bracelin characterized the quarter as being driven by &#8220;broad-based strength&#8221; and &#8220;solid&#8221; execution. The analyst expects increased contribution of data engineering features to more than offset any potential storage revenue losses, which was a concern heading into the quarter. Bracelin believes Snowflake will sustain greater than 20% growth next year.
Keybanc&#8217;s Heath noted that management commentary on the call was &#8220;very encouraging&#8221; in terms of shifting the narrative on AI. The analyst believes Snowflake is positioned to benefit from public cloud trends as an enabler of AI and generative AI workloads.

Goldman&#8217;s Rangan echoed much of the same sentiment, calling the quarter &#8220;impressive&#8221; and noting that it helps improve conviction that the company can sustain mid-20s percent revenue growth while delivering 25% free cash flow margins. 
&#8220;Given the company's strong competitive positioning, we continue to view Snowflake as well positioned to capitalize on a generational shift of data and analytics to the cloud, with strong secular tailwinds including cloud adoption, big data, AI/ML, and secure data sharing which we expect will drive durable growth for the foreseeable future,&#8221; the Goldman analyst said.
SNOW Price Action: Snowflake shares were up 33.5% at $172.41 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Snowflake Stock Is Blazing Higher Thursday: What's Going On?

E.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELF#NYSE">ELF</a>) shares are trading relatively flat on Thursday after the company issued a statement in response to a report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42097477/muddy-waters-carson-block-is-betting-against-elf-beauty-short-seller-believes-company-is-overstating-revenue-earnings-major-red-flag">from Muddy Waters Research.</a>
Short seller Muddy Waters released a report Wednesday alleging that E.L.F. has overstated its revenue over the last three quarters by approximately $135 million to $190 million. Muddy Waters Research founder Carson Block revealed a new short position in E.l.f. Beauty at the Sohn Conference on Wednesday.
"We believe that in Q2 FY24, ELF management realized its growth narrative was in trouble as its inventory built. It appears that ELF then began reporting inflated revenue and profits," the short seller said.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42108198/e-l-f-beauty-issues-statement-refuting-unsubstantiated-short-seller-report">According to the company</a>, the short seller&#8217;s report aimed to negatively impact E.l.f. Beauty&#8217;s stock price.
E.l.f. Beauty rejected the allegations, calling them &#8220;without merit&#8221; and stating that Muddy Waters relied on incomplete data, flawed assumptions, and speculation.

The beauty company pointed out that in early 2024, for competitive reasons, it filed a request with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to keep certain customs import data confidential.
This request resulted in a lack of public import data after Feb. 6, which Muddy Waters had used in its analysis. E.l.f. Beauty emphasized that the import data presented by Muddy Waters was not reflective of the company's actual U.S. imports.
Further, E.l.f. Beauty refuted Muddy Waters&#8217; assertions by pointing to strong consumption data from Nielsen and Circana, which showed robust demand for its products. The company also highlighted its rigorous inventory control procedures and revenue recognition practices, which ensure accurate financial reporting.
In its statement, E.l.f. Beauty reiterated its confidence in its financials, citing its recent second-quarter fiscal 2025 results, which marked the 23rd consecutive quarter of net sales growth and market share gains. The company remains confident in its business model, strategy, and momentum in the competitive beauty industry.
Price Action: ELF shares were up 5.4% to $125.46 at last check Thursday.

E.l.f. Beauty Fires Back At Muddy Waters Over Revenue Inflation Claims

Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>) has surged 24% to $26.89 this week, fueled by investor optimism in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">cryptocurrency</a> market.
This rally comes amid Bitcoin's historic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42102366/bitcoin-taps-95k-ethereum-dogecoin-flat-as-trumps-crypto-policy-takes-shape-top-analyst-describes-btcs-path-to-135k">climb toward $100,000</a> and rising institutional interest across digital assets, signaling renewed confidence in Ethereum Classic's long-term prospects.
What To Know: The gains for ETC align with broader enthusiasm for Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which is experiencing strong speculation about its ability to hit $4,000 this November. 
Ethereum Classic, often considered the original Ethereum blockchain following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-ethereum-classic-etc">2016 hard fork,</a> is benefiting from renewed attention to Ethereum-based ecosystems as developers and investors explore its potential for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts.

What Else: Another factor boosting ETC is its correlation with Ethereum's proof-of-stake (PoS) transition. Since Ethereum's move to PoS with the Merge, some miners have shifted resources to Ethereum Classic, strengthening its hash rate and security. This enhanced network robustness is likely contributing to increased investor confidence.
The current rally also ties into macroeconomic conditions, with easing global monetary policies encouraging capital flows into riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies. 
Additionally, rising institutional activity, including surging Bitcoin ETF inflows, has amplified interest in altcoins like Ethereum Classic.

Why Ethereum Classic Is Exploding Higher This Week

Good Morning Traders! In today&#39;s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market&#39;s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let&#39;s dive into the stock analysis:
<h3>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</h3>
SPY&nbsp;(ARCA: SPY) is currently trading near the 592.00 level, a critical area for today&#39;s session. If bulls maintain control above this mark, the first target on the upside is 593.73, which would indicate strengthening buy momentum. If this level holds during regular trading hours, buyers are likely to push the price toward 596.57. Sustained bullish activity above 596.57 could bring the high-interest zone of 598.04 into focus, with the ultimate target on the day at 599.24 if the broader market sentiment aligns.
On the flip side, failure to hold 592.00 as a support level could embolden the bears. A test of 589.71 would be the next likely scenario. If sellers remain active below this point, deeper downside exploration toward 587.31 could occur. Breaking this level might lead to a move lower to 585.75, with a potential daily bear target at 584.68 if selling pressure intensifies.
<h3>Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1</h3>
QQQ (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) is hovering around the key 504.44 level, a pivotal area for bulls to defend. Holding this support could set the stage for a rally toward 506.68, with sustained buying potentially extending gains to 509.87. A bullish momentum breakout above 509.87 could lead to a push toward 511.53, with 513.64 standing as the high bull target for the day.
Conversely, a failure to maintain 504.44 as support could shift control to the bears. An initial move down to 502.65 would be on the table, with further selling likely driving prices to 501.07. Continued downside momentum could open the door to 499.44, and the low bear target at 498.37 may come into play if selling accelerates during the session.
<h3>Apple Inc. </h3>
Apple&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is trading near 229.03, a key level that bulls need to defend to maintain upward momentum. If buyers succeed, a move toward 230.25 is expected, with potential continuation to 231.76 on strong buying interest. A decisive break above this level could target 233.28, the high bull target for the day, especially if broader market conditions remain supportive.
Should 229.03 fail to hold as support, the bears could take control and test 227.82. Breaking this level might prompt further declines to 226.90, with a potential move lower to 226.08. If bearish momentum persists, the price could test the low bear target of 225.31.
<h3>Microsoft Corp.</h3>
Microsoft&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) is currently near 416.32, a crucial level to watch. A hold above this point could spur bullish momentum, leading to a test of 417.25. Sustained strength above this area might drive prices higher to 419.17, with the high bull target for the session set at 420.26 if buyers dominate.
Failure to maintain 416.32 as a support level could lead to bearish activity, testing 414.56. If selling pressure continues, the next target is 413.14. A breakdown below this area could see the price move toward 411.72, with the low bear target of 410.64 within reach on heavy downside pressure.
NVIDIA Corporation 
NVIDIA&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is positioned near 144.21, a key level for today&#39;s session. Bulls need to drive the price toward 145.61 to establish solid support. From there, continued buying could lift the stock to 147.06, with additional momentum targeting 148.52. The high bull target stands at 150.32, achievable if bullish sentiment dominates the session.
Should 144.21 fail to act as support, bears will likely push the price toward 142.35. A break below this level could bring 141.21 into play, with further declines potentially targeting 140.28. If selling intensifies, the low bear target of 139.42 may be tested.
<h3>Alphabet Inc Class A</h3>
Alphabet&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) is trading near 175.12, a significant level for bulls to defend. If they succeed, an upward move to 176.23 is likely, with continued strength targeting 177.28 as the high bull target. Positive sentiment in the broader market could further support this bullish trajectory.
If 175.12 fails as support, bears may drive the price to 174.01. Additional selling could lead to a test of 172.28, with 171.14 as the low bear target for the day if bearish momentum accelerates.
<h3>Meta Platforms Inc</h3>
Meta&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>) is trading around 565.53, a key pivot level for today&#39;s session. Bulls need to maintain this level to aim for a move toward 573.25. Sustained buying above 573.25 could drive prices to 580.17, with the high bull target for the day at 585.73 if strong momentum persists.
If 565.53 is lost as support, bears will likely test 559.29. A breakdown below this point could lead to further selling pressure toward 553.05, with the low bear target at 548.44 in play if sellers maintain control.
<h3>Tesla Inc.</h3>
Tesla&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is trading around 340.97, a key level to watch closely. Bulls will aim to push the price toward 346.64 as a first target. If bullish momentum continues, 350.87 could come into play, with a strong rally potentially leading to a test of 356.80. The high bull target for the day is 363.84 if buyers maintain control throughout the session.
On the other hand, losing 340.97 as support could pave the way for bears to test 333.93. A break below this level might prompt further declines to 327.59, with 322.52 as the low bear target if sellers dominate the session.
Final Word:&nbsp; The trading day starts with a flurry of critical economic data. Initial and Continuing Jobless Claims are due at 8:30 AM ET, alongside the Philly Fed Business Outlook for November. These reports will provide insights into labor market trends and regional manufacturing conditions. At 8:45 AM ET, Fed voting member Beth Hammack will deliver remarks, potentially offering clues about future monetary policy.
At 10:00 AM ET, the Leading Index and Existing Home Sales data for October will be released, shedding light on economic momentum and housing market health. Midday action includes the Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity at 11:00 AM ET, followed by speeches from non-voting Fed member Austan Goolsbee and Beth Hammack at 12:25 PM ET and 12:30 PM ET, respectively. The 10-Year TIPS Auction at 1:00 PM ET adds another layer of complexity to the session. Additionally, markets are digesting NVIDIA&#39;s earnings surprise, which could fuel volatility. Traders should remain vigilant, adjust strategies to the day&#39;s developments, and prioritize risk management in a potentially turbulent environment. Good luck and trade safely!
