'Snowflake Talks With Anthropic About AI Partnership' - The Information

U.S. stocks could open on a tentative note on Wednesday amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42064198/putin-revises-nuclear-doctrine-for-broader-strikes-after-us-backed-ukrainian-attack-markets-drop-bonds-gain">simmering geopolitical tensions</a>. Futures of all three major indices were marginally up as investors weighed escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and earnings from AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
U.S. equity markets have had a mixed week so far, with the Dow Jones facing pressure even as the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq witnessed sideway movements.

Insights From Analysts:
Wedbush's Dan Ives expressed upbeat sentiment about Nvidia's earnings, saying that the AI giant could deliver earnings beat and raise guidance as well.
"We expect a drop the mic performance from Nvidia tomorrow night as Godfather of AI Jensen &amp; Co. are the only game in town with $1 trillion of AI Cap-Ex on the way with Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs the new oil and gold in this world."

While there is optimism among analysts about Nvidia and other AI stocks, the European Central Bank expressed caution about the possibility of an "AI bubble."
&#8220;This concentration among a few large firms raises concerns over the possibility of an AI-related asset price bubble,&#8221; the ECB said in its latest Financial Stability Review, underscoring the increasing dependence of the equity markets on select companies.
This could also be a cause of concern for equity markets beyond the U.S., noted the ECB.
"Also, in a context of deeply integrated global equity markets, it points to the risk of adverse global spillovers, should earnings expectations for these firms be disappointed."
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, on the other hand, remained optimistic about equity markets.
"Stocks historically do better in years 1 and 2 of a President who was re-elected vs a new President in office."

Earnings Scheduled For November 20, 2024

As the software industry nears a crossroads, one industry analyst expressed confidence in a few big names ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings?date_from=2024-11-20&amp;date_to=2024-11-27">third-quarter earnings season</a>.
The Software Analyst: D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria reiterated Buy ratings for Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), Couchbase Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BASE#NASDAQ">BASE</a>) and Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) in a note published Monday.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Takeaways: For Palo Alto Networks, Luria anticipates strong sales performance aided by improving firewall demand and the aftermath of the Crowdstrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) outage.
&#8220;We believe PANW will easily surpass the sandbagged Q1 ARR guide (implies NNARR is -50% Y/Y at the mid-point) and meet or exceed CRPO expectations as well. If those two metrics are ahead, FY25 ARR guidance is raised, and FY25 Total RPO guidance is maintained and/or raised, all of which we expect, we believe shares will react positively,&#8221; the analyst said.
Palo Alto Networks reports earnings on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Luria is also optimistic about Couchbase, citing dynamics that caused a second-quarter earnings miss as factors that will not recur.
&#8220;We thus expect a beat and raise and a rebound in the shares as expectations are low,&#8221; the analyst said. Couchbase&#8217;s next earnings report is Dec. 3.
Compute Takeaways: Snowflake also reports earnings on Wednesday. Luria believes the Bozeman, Montana-based company is &#8220;well positioned&#8221; heading into the report, remaining &#8220;one of the most compelling stories in software.&#8221;
The analyst is optimistic about the company&#8217;s artificial intelligence and machine learning initiatives and its appeal among developers. Snowflake meets both of D.A. Davidson&#8217;s software benchmarks of price to free cash flow multiples and strong growth.

Snowflake Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

U.S. prosecutors identified two hackers behind a massive AT&amp;T Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39746837/at-t-and-snowflake-stocks-slide-on-friday-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data breach</a>.
What Happened: The alleged hackers, Connor Moucka and John Binns, reportedly gained unauthorized access to AT&amp;T&#8217;s data systems hosted on cloud data platform Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>).
Around 50 billion customer call and text records were stolen, TechCrunch <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/12/snowflake-hackers-identified-and-charged-with-stealing-50-billion-att-records/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The Department of Justice filed the indictment on Sunday, revealing the full scale of the data compromise.
Although the document refers to &#8220;Victim-2,&#8221; a major U.S. telecommunications company, the timeline and details align closely with AT&amp;T&#8217;s disclosures made in April. According to AT&amp;T&#8217;s statements, the breach exposed records such as call logs and text metadata.
Why It Matters: Prosecutors claim that Moucka and Binns successfully extorted at least three victims, demanding Bitcoin ransom payments worth approximately $2.5 million. 
The hackers allegedly targeted the compromised data over a year-long campaign in November 2023, when they demanded ransom from multiple companies.
Several other Snowflake customers, including Santander Bank and Ticketmaster, experienced similar breaches.
Hackers infiltrated these companies&#8217; Snowflake-hosted data, extracting susceptible personal and corporate information. Reports indicate that the stolen data encompassed social security numbers, driver&#8217;s licenses, and banking information.
Moucka was apprehended in Canada last week. Binns had previously been detained in Turkey. Their arrest comes after months of investigation into a string of cyberattacks affecting U.S. companies through Snowflake&#8217;s data platform.
In the aftermath, AT&amp;T reportedly paid a ransom of $370,000 to secure the deletion of stolen records. In August, Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy stated that Snowflake&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40498552/snowflake-ceo-downplays-cyberattack-impact-amid-8-stock-drop-after-q2-earnings-report-not-really" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">core business remains</a> unaffected by the recent cyberattack despite a dip in stock prices. Ramaswamy clarified the breach stemmed from weak customer security measures, not flaws in Snowflake&#8217;s platform, impacting clients like AT&amp;T and Live Nation.
Price Action: AT&amp;T gained over 28% year-to-date. The stock closed lower by 0.72% at $22.15 on Tuesday. Snowflake closed higher by 1.59%.

AT&T Data Breach Exposes 50 Billion Records: Hackers Identified, Ransom Paid

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) is a &#8220;fantastic company with an expensive stock,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jim-cramer">according to CNBC's Jim Cramer</a>.
On Oct. 17, Intuitive Surgical reported third-quarter revenue of $2.04 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $2 billion.
During the latest edition of &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Cramer said Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ET/earnings">is a buy</a>.
Energy Transfer reported quarterly earnings of 32 cents per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of 37 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $20.772 billion which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $22.297 billion.
&#8220;Let it ride,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>).
On Oct. 23, T-Mobile reported quarterly earnings of $2.61 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.41 per share.
Cramer recommended buying Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>). &#8220;I think it still works higher,&#8221; he added.
On Nov. 4, Constellation Energy reported third-quarter results and revised its FY24 adjusted EPS guidance, which is below estimates.
When asked about International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), he said, &#8220;I think we can hold it.&#8221;
On Oct. 23, IBM reported third-quarter revenue of $14.968 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $15.07 billion, according to Benzinga Pro.
The Mad Money host said he is not recommending Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>). &#8220;I think they have a lot of companies that are up against them,&#8221; he noted.
On Nov. 11, Keybanc analyst Eric Heath maintained Snowflake with an Overweight and lowered the price target from $168 to $150.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Energy Transfer shares fell 1.1% to settle at $17.05 on Tuesday.</li>
<li>Intuitive Surgical shares gained 0.3% to close at $537.07.</li>
<li>T-Mobile shares rose 0.3% to close at $239.00 on Tuesday.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductor Wafer Shipments To China&nbsp;</h2>
The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) imposed a <a href="https://www.bis.gov/press-release/bis-imposes-500000-mitigated-penalty-against-globalfoundries-74-shipments-entity">civil penalty </a>of $500,000 against GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>) last Friday. The penalty is related to shipments of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41811866/taiwan-semi-and-globalfoundries-finalize-major-us-funding-deals-eye-growth-in-chip-manufacturing">semiconductor wafers</a> valued at approximately $17.1 million to SJ Semiconductor, a China-based company on the BIS Entity List. 
The BIS said GlobalFoundries voluntarily disclosed the shipments and cooperated with the investigation which led to the significantly reduced fine.&nbsp;
"We want U.S. companies to be hypervigilant when sending semiconductor materials to Chinese parties," said Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Axelrod. "And when, as here, that vigilance falls short and semiconductor materials have gone where they shouldn't, we want companies to make voluntary disclosures, remediate, and cooperate with us."

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAVE#NASDAQ">DAVE</a>) for allegedly using misleading marketing to deceive consumers, charging undisclosed fees and charging so-called "tips" without users' consent. 
"Dave lured in consumers living paycheck-to-paycheck with false claims of big-dollar advances, then reached into their pockets to give itself a so-called ‘tip,'" said Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection.&nbsp;
"Whether the products are called cash advances, payday loans, or something else, the FTC will take action to protect consumers from unauthorized charges and deceptive claims," Levine added.&nbsp;
The FTC said Dave reported receiving more than $149 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41820744/9-stocks-to-watch-financial-sector-outshines-tech-in-2024-as-trump-trade-sparks-m-a">in revenue </a>from these so-called "tips" alone from 2022 through the first half of 2024.

According to a Bloomberg<a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/hacker-said-to-be-behind-breach-of-snowflake-customers-arrested"> report</a>, the alleged hacker behind a string of cyberattacks involving as many as 165 customers of Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) has been arrested in Canada, according to people familiar with the matter.

Alexander "Connor" Moucka was taken into custody on a provisional arrest warrant on Oct. 30 following a request from the US, according to Canada's Department of Justice. The exact charges against Moucka remain unknown.&nbsp;
