Shares of WhiteHorse Finance Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHF#NASDAQ">WHF</a>) remained volatile after the company announced its fourth-quarter results.
The company's dividend policy is in focus after its NII (net interest income) fell short of expectations, according to JPMorgan.
The WhiteHorse Finance Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5f117a5099d25a0001e0ff6c/melissa-wedel">Analyst Melissa Wedel</a> reaffirmed an Underweight rating, while reducing the price target from $9.50 to $9.00.
The WhiteHorse Finance Thesis: The company reported its fourth-quarter NII at 34 cents per share. It missed the consensus of 39 cents per share.
NAV (net asset value) declined by 3.6% sequentially to $12.31 per share, Wedel said in a note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Management declared a regular quarterly distribution of 38.5 cents per share for the first quarter, the analyst stated. 
She added, however, that management indicated they were still evaluating the portfolio's earnings power in the near to medium term, which leaves some doubts about the dividend being reduced, "especially with $28.4M of spillover income remaining after the special dividend was paid in 4Q."
The board may also decide to "use spillover income to supplement NII and support the dividend at current levels," Wedel stated. 
"In either scenario, we expect investors will remain focused on dividend coverage through NII and credit trends with headwinds to multiple expansion until dividend coverage through NII is achieved and NAV stabilizes," she further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of WhiteHorse Finance had declined by 0.6% to $9.98 at the time of publication on Monday.

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) shares are trading lower by 2.6% to $867.51 during Monday&#8217;s session as broader market pressures, concerns over a potential recession and trade tensions between the United States and China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44216011/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-after-trump-hints-at-looming-recession-expert-says-cant-rule-out-a-bear-market-as-indices-inch-towards-correction-territory">weigh on investor sentiment</a>.
What To Know: The streaming giant, which has been navigating a highly competitive media landscape, faced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44178502/netflix-stock-is-down-8-whats-going-on">renewed selling pressure</a> as investors shifted away from growth stocks amid economic uncertainty.
Netflix, known for its extensive library of original content and global subscriber base, may soon contend with shifting consumer spending habits. A weaker-than-expected jobs report and a rise in the U.S. unemployment rate to 4.1% have added to fears that discretionary spending, including streaming subscriptions, could face pressure in the coming months.

Adding to investor concerns, China's latest retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural products have heightened fears of broader economic instability, which could impact advertising and content production costs.
Consumers could also feel the effects, as any increased operational costs for Netflix may be passed on in the form of higher subscription fees.
What Else: With&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44135215/trumps-tariffs-could-wipe-out-profits-for-gm-ford-and-stellantis-barclays-warns-tariffs-of-this-magnitude-are-unlikely-to-stick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">economic pressures rising globally</a>&nbsp;due to tariffs, consumers may be less willing to absorb price hikes, potentially impacting subscriber growth and retention, especially in price-sensitive markets. This could further exacerbate challenges for Netflix as it tries to balance profitability with subscriber demand.
Consumers might end up paying more if Netflix&#8217;s costs go up since the company could raise subscription prices.
With global economic pressures increasing due to tariffs, people may be less willing to accept price hikes. This could make it harder for Netflix to keep and attract subscribers, especially in price-sensitive markets, adding to the company's challenges in balancing profit and customer demand.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NFLX Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Netflix &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
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.
In the case of Netflix, which is trading at $865.52 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.12 shares of stock.
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.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NFLX has a 52-week high of $1,064.50 and a 52-week low of $542.01.

Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) shares are down 2.6% to $40.33 in Monday&#8217;s session and have fallen 10% over the past five sessions. The decline comes as U.S. stock futures drop amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44216011/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-after-trump-hints-at-looming-recession-expert-says-cant-rule-out-a-bear-market-as-indices-inch-towards-correction-territory">growing recession fears</a> and rising trade tensions between the United States and China.

The financial sector, which has been under pressure from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UTEN">rising Treasury yields</a> and investor uncertainty, saw significant losses, with Bank of America among the hardest hit.
What To Know: The selloff comes amid remarks from former President Donald Trump, who on Sunday acknowledged the possibility of a recession in 2024 while maintaining confidence in the long-term economic outlook.

Bank of America, one of the largest financial institutions in the U.S., is particularly sensitive to economic fluctuations due to its vast exposure to consumer banking, lending and investment services. 
Rising Treasury yields, with the 10-year yield standing at 4.24% and the two-year yield at 3.94%, put pressure on the bank's fixed-income investments, potentially squeezing profit margins. 
What Else: Additionally, the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44189725/unemployment-rate-ticks-higher-in-february-us-economy-adds-fewer-jobs-than-expected">mixed economic data</a>—including a weaker-than-expected jobs report and a surprise rise in the unemployment rate to 4.1%—added to concerns about slowing economic growth and its repercussions for financial institutions.
Compounding the negative sentiment, China's recent decision to impose <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44217379/china-hits-soybeans-with-tariffs-its-largest-us-import-along-with-other-agri-products-here-a-list-of-stocks-and-etfs-that-could-be-impacted">retaliatory tariffs</a> on U.S. agricultural goods, including soybeans, added another layer of uncertainty. 
Bank of America, like other major banks, has exposure to global markets and trade activity, and any prolonged trade tensions could further dampen economic growth, impacting corporate borrowing and investment banking revenues.
Investors can gain exposure to&nbsp;BAC by&nbsp;investing&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NASDAQ">XLF</a>).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BAC Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>)'s case, it is in the Financials sector.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Mastercard

After eight years and more than half a billion dollars, Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) founder Larry Ellison&#8216;s ambitious attempt to revolutionize agriculture with cutting-edge technology has yielded little more than lettuce and cherry tomatoes. 
Sensei Ag, the farming venture Ellison co-founded with celebrity doctor David Agus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/42255404/dole-fruit-founder-sells-the-last-of-his-lanai-property-to-oracles-larry-ellison">on the Hawaiian island of Lanai</a>, was envisioned as a technological marvel that would transform global food production using AI, robotics and advanced sensors, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/larry-ellison-hawaii-greenhouse-farm-food-2d260e1f">The Wall Street Journal</a>.&nbsp;
Instead, it has been plagued by basic operational challenges.

<li>BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates. </a></li>
</ul>
The project has cost Ellison more than the $300 million he paid in 2012 to acquire 98% of Lanai itself, the WSJ said. The 80-year-old billionaire has told executives he sees the agricultural venture as part of his legacy. 
The company built six greenhouses on a remote stretch of the island, commissioning an Israeli firm to construct facilities initially budgeted at $12 million. Those costs ballooned to around $50 million due to design flaws and environmental challenges, according to the report. 
The greenhouses proved ill-suited for Lanai&#8217;s climate, with powerful winds repeatedly blowing off roofs. Solar panels frequently failed, forcing reliance on diesel generators. Poor Wi-Fi prevented sensors from properly monitoring crops, and inadequate ventilation systems required supplemental floor fans.

Sensei expanded beyond Hawaii by acquiring greenhouse facilities in Canada totaling nearly 3 million square feet, which required extensive retrofitting at a cost of approximately $200 million. According to the Journal, the operations currently utilize just 5% of their capacity due to a saturated market. 
The company&#8217;s technology development has been led by Danny Hillis, a renowned computer networking pioneer who lacks commercial agricultural experience. After cycling through several executives, Ellison and Agus appointed software engineer Dave Douglas in 2023 to run the company remotely from Massachusetts. 
&#8220;The vision was so big. And then it just slowly got whittled away as we faced up to realities of implementing on Lanai,&#8221; said En Young, a former general manager of the Lanai facility. 
Since late 2022, Sensei has pivoted toward developing software and technology for indoor farming. The company now aims to create a package of software and hardware that other farms could license.

The Journal reported Sensei has achieved some modest successes, becoming one of Hawaii&#8217;s largest producers of baby lettuce and cherry tomatoes with nearly a third of the market. Its Ontario operation has given the company distribution channels to supermarket chains on the <a href="https://www.senseifarms.com/store-locator">East Coast of the U.S.</a> and Canada. 
Sensei Marketing Director Jonathan Lee told the Journal that the company is &#8220;currently in stealth mode&#8221; and plans to share details of its technology publicly in about 18 months. The timeline for delivering a prototype has been extended to mid-2026. 
Meanwhile, Ellison has reportedly been pushing for Sensei to reduce losses by cutting expenses and discontinuing lower-revenue products such as peppers and cucumbers. 
While Sensei has fallen short of its original mission to &#8220;feed the world,&#8221; Agus maintains that the company is still working to perfect its technology. &#8220;We have an island that we can&#8217;t grow things on, that we need food for. Let&#8217;s do it. But at the same time let&#8217;s change agriculture,&#8221; he said of their initial vision, according to the Journal.
