Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Nov. 22:
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>): Reader interest in Delta comes after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42087211/delta-charts-its-path-to-high-margins-and-shareholder-gains-at-2024-investor-day">hosted an investor day</a> in New York. Among the items shared at the investor day were goals of mid-teen operating margins, 10% average annual EPS growth and $3 billion to $5 billion in annual free cash flow over the next three to five years. 
Delta could also be seeing interest with the new White House administration being ushered in. Delta CEO Ed Bastian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42106369/delta-chief-says-trump-could-be-a-breath-of-fresh-air-for-aviation-industry">recently said</a> President-elect Donald Trump could provide a "breath of fresh air" for the airline sector after years of "overreach." The Biden administration passed various regulations that protected airline consumers, including automatic refunds after canceled flights and a requirement for airlines to disclose all additional fees and taxes upfront.
Delta also announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42095549/delta-will-serve-shake-shack-burgers-as-airline-continues-catering-to-first-class">will start serving</a> Shake Shack burgers to first-class passengers on some flights.
The carrier&#8217;s shares were down over the past week, but remain up over 50% year-to-date. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112224&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro chart</a> below shows the five-day performance.

Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>): Bill Ackman's Pershing Square has increased its bet on the apparel company. After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40381979/nike-stock-sprints-higher-after-the-bell-as-bill-ackmans-pershing-square-reveals-new-stake">taking a 3 million</a> share stake in the second quarter, a new filing revealed that Ackman added 13 million shares in the third quarter. His firm now owns <a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/news/2024/11/19/nike-bill-ackman-investor-shares-purchased.html">around </a>1.3% of the company. Nike shares trade near 52-week lows after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41129610/nike-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-teams-energized-amid-ceo-transition-a-comeback-at-this-scale">first-quarter financial results</a> saw revenue miss analyst estimates and analysts weigh how quickly a new CEO can help turnaround the company.
"A comeback at this scale takes time, but we see early wins – from momentum in key sports to accelerating our pace of newness and innovation," Nike CFO Matthew Friend said after the Q1 results. "Our teams are energized as Elliott Hill returns to lead Nike's next stage of growth."
Investors could also be closely watching Nike stock to see how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/41796941/trump-2-0-a-sneaker-heads-nightmare-your-next-pair-of-nikes-or-vans-could-cost-a-pretty-penny-heres">big of an impact </a>Trump's promise to increase tariffs on other countries could hurt the company.

Autodesk Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>): The software company is seeing strong interest from Benzinga readers ahead of third-quarter financial results scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 26. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly revenue of $1.56 billion, up from $1.41 billion in last year's third quarter. Analysts also expect quarterly earnings per share of $2.12, up from $2.07 in last year's third quarter. 
Autodesk has beaten analyst estimates for revenue and earnings per share both in five straight quarters. Over the last 10 quarters, Autodesk has beaten analyst estimates for revenue eight times and earnings per share eight times. The company said that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40639874/autodesk-stock-jumps-5-on-q2-earnings-the-details">was focusing on </a>disciplined execution and seeing GAAP margins among the best in the sector.
Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost said these factors &#8220;will deliver sustainable shareholder value over many years.&#8221;
Some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ADSK/analyst-ratings">recent analyst ratings </a>and price targets are listed below:
<ul>
<li>Wells Fargo: Maintained Overweight rating, raised price target from $340 to $350</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley: Maintained Overweight rating, raised price target from $320 to $375</li>

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>): The cryptocurrency company is seeing strong interest as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continues to smash through new all-time highs and near the $100,000 level. 
The rising valuation of other cryptocurrencies could also help offset concerns from Coinbase's recently reported third quarter, which saw revenue and earnings per share miss Street estimates. Trading volume and transaction revenue were down 18% and 27% quarter-over-quarter respectively in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41637702/coinbase-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-transaction-revenue-falls-from-q2">the third quarter</a>. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42131449/with-gary-gensler-preparing-to-quit-in-2025-secs-crypto-cases-likely-to-quietly-go-away-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-stance-says-pantera-capitals-katrina-paglia">pro-crypto</a> stance of the incoming Trump administration also boosted interest in cryptocurrency-related companies like Coinbase.
Coinbase stock was up on the week, but trailed the 9.5% gains of Bitcoin. Coinbase stock is up 93.5% year-to-date in 2024, also trailing the year-to-date 122.5% gains for Bitcoin.

Blackstone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>): The world's largest alternative asset manager <a href="https://www.blackstone.com/news/press/jersey-mikes-to-partner-with-blackstone-to-accelerate-leading-franchisors-continued-growth/">announced </a>plans to acquire a majority stake in Jersey Mike's, a fast-casual restaurant brand. 
While Blackstone won't IPO Jersey Mike's anytime soon. Still, it could benefit from the likelihood that more big IPOs are expected in 2025. 
Reuters reports that medical supply firm Medline, which is partially owned by Blackstone, seeks a $5-billion IPO.

Blackstone Unusual Options Activity For November 11

Financial stocks are basking in a post-election rally after Donald Trump's election win as investors anticipate a friendlier regulatory landscape for banks, brokers and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets"> consumer finance companies</a>.
With expectations of deregulation and possible tax cuts, traders are piling into financials at levels not seen in years.
The Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) jumped over 5% last week, hitting fresh record highs, while weekly inflows surged to $1.573 billion—the highest in over two years. 
Regional banks, in particular, were on fire, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) skyrocketing nearly 11% and seeing $1.09 billion in inflows, marking its largest influx of money since March 2023.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Drivers: Deregulation, Tax Cuts Fuel Investor Optimism</h3>
Investors are betting on a wave of Trump-favored financial reforms that could benefit the sector. 
Richard Ramsden, a Goldman Sachs analyst, highlighted that "the market is pricing in the potential for changes to a number of proposed regulations, a step up in capital markets activity, as well as the potential for a reduction in the corporate tax rate."
Potential regulatory changes under Trump could include:
<ol>
<li>401K Reform: Opening up retirement plans to private investments could attract a flood of new capital.</li>
<li>Relaxed Antitrust Regulations: A more lenient antitrust stance may spark increased mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity.</li>
<li>Reduced SEC Oversight: There is limited clarity on whether the SEC will continue probing brokers' sweep pricing practices.</li>
<li>Crypto-Friendly Policies: Financial firms with crypto exposure may benefit from a more favorable regulatory environment and higher digital asset prices.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs's Top Picks Among Financials Stocks</h3>
In anticipation of these shifts, Ramsden and his team have identified several top picks across the financial sector. 
Here's where they see the biggest potential gains:
<ul>
<li>Large Banks: Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).</li>
<li>Consumer Finance: Bread Financial Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BFH#NYSE">BFH</a>), Synchrony Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYF#NYSE">SYF</a>), and Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>).</li>
<li>Capital Markets: Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>), KKR &amp; Co. Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PJT#NYSE">PJT</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Steeper Yield Curve Expected to Boost Regional Banks</h3>
As markets react to potential economic stimulus and reduced regulatory pressure, analysts anticipate a steeper yield curve, which could be a windfall for banks with heavy exposure to fixed-rate assets. 
Around 60% of both regional and large banks' balance sheets consist of fixed-rate holdings, positioning them to profit as long-term rates rise.
Ramsden's picks for banks that stand to gain the most from a steeper yield curve include:
Regional Banks: 
<ul>
<li>Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>)</li>
<li>Comerica Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMA#NYSE">CMA</a>)</li>
<li>First Hawaiian Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FHB#NASDAQ">FHB</a>)</li>
<li>Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZION#NASDAQ">ZION</a>)</li>
<li>Truist Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFC#NYSE">TFC</a>)</li>
<li>Huntington Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBAN#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>)</li>
<li>Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>)</li>
<li>PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PNC#NYSE">PNC</a>)</li>
<li>Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLY#NYSE">ALLY</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Surge in Capital Velocity: M&amp;A and Trading Boost Expected</h3>
Trump's pro-business stance is also expected to accelerate capital velocity in the M&amp;A and equity capital markets, providing a strong backdrop for trading activity. 
According to Ramsden, large banks like Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) could be the biggest beneficiaries, while among regional banks,&nbsp;KeyCorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEY#NYSE">KEY</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>)&nbsp;stand out.
Investment banks could also see a boost, with&nbsp;Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>),&nbsp;Moelis &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MC#NYSE">MC</a>),&nbsp;PJT Partners Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PJT#NYSE">PJT</a>), and&nbsp;Piper Sandler Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PIPR#NYSE">PIPR</a>)&nbsp;positioned to capitalize on a more active M&amp;A market. 
In the alternative asset management space,&nbsp;Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>),&nbsp;KKR,&nbsp;Apollo,&nbsp;TPG Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPG#NASDAQ">TPG</a>), and&nbsp;Ares Management Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARES#NYSE">ARES</a>)&nbsp;are expected to benefit from an uptick in private equity deal flow.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tax Cut Hopes Could Supercharge Regional Banks</h3>
Financial stocks are uniquely positioned to benefit from any corporate tax reductions, given that 90% of their earnings come from the U.S. and are currently taxed at an average rate of 23%. After the 2017 tax reform slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, financials saw their effective tax rate drop by 10 percentage points.
Ramsden estimates that if the Trump administration pursues another tax cut, regional banks would likely see the most significant upside. 
His top tax-cut beneficiaries include&nbsp;Moelis &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MC#NYSE">MC</a>),&nbsp;American Express Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>),&nbsp;Evercore Inc.,&nbsp;Bread Financial Holdings,&nbsp;Piper Sandler,&nbsp;First Citizens BancShares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCNCA#NASDAQ">FCNCA</a>),&nbsp;Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNV#NYSE">SNV</a>), and&nbsp;Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAL#NYSE">WAL</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insurers to Benefit from Steeper Curve, P&amp;C Pricing Power</h3>
The insurance sector may also stand to gain under Trump's pro-business policies. Ramsden expects potential increases in claim costs but sees positive momentum for property and casualty pricing.
Insurers with substantial U.S. exposure and a favorable position on the yield curve could see tailwinds.
Ramsden's picks in the insurance space include&nbsp;W.R. Berkley Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WRB#NYSE">WRB</a>),&nbsp;Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIG#NYSE">HIG</a>), and&nbsp;The Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>), which he believes are better positioned than brokers to benefit from these trends.
