SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday as the broader tech sector declined. The drop followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42850914/us-services-sector-growth-tops-forecasts-but-price-pressures-tariff-concerns-cloud-outlook">economic data, rising treasury yields</a>, and NVIDIA Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) announcements at CES 2025.
What To Know: At CES, NVIDIA unveiled its Cosmos foundation models, which generate synthetic data to train robots and autonomous vehicles, new RTX 50 series gaming chips, and its first desktop computer for AI development. While these announcements highlight advancements in AI and robotics, analysts potentially remain skeptical about their immediate commercial viability. NVIDIA's stock dropped over 4%, reflecting investor concerns about the scalability of emerging technologies, which may have impacted sentiment across the sector, including for SoundHound AI.
The labor market data also added further pressure, with job openings exceeding expectations at 8.1 million in November. Strong hiring pushed Treasury yields higher, with the 30-year yield reaching 4.90%, increasing costs for tech firms reliant on borrowing for growth. Rising yields and NVIDIA&#8217;s mixed reception at CES have created a challenging environment for AI companies like SoundHound to maintain investor confidence.
Why It Matters: SoundHound's drop may reflect broader sector challenges, including competition from larger players like NVIDIA and economic conditions making it harder for growth-oriented companies to attract investor support. With increasing scrutiny regarding the profitability of AI technologies, the sector remains under pressure.
SOUN Price Action: Soundhound shares were down 9.02% at $18.10 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

QUBT

What the Options Market Tells Us About Quantum Computing

While the holiday season tends to brighten spirits, love was certainly not in the air for Signet Jewelers Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIG#NYSE">SIG</a>). Early last month, the diamond jewelry retailer posted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42340973/signet-jewelers-stock-tanks-after-dismal-q3-print-guidance-cut">disappointing results</a> for its fiscal third quarter. Nevertheless, investors historically have bought extreme dips in SIG stock, opening the real possibility of a near-term bullish options strategy.
On paper, Signet posted adjusted earnings per share of 24 cents, missing Wall Street's consensus view of 33 cents. On the top line, the company rang up sales of $1.35 billion, which unfortunately represented a 3.1% year-over-year decline. As well, this figure missed analysts' revenue target of $1.37 billion.
During the conference call, Signet CFO Joan Hilson remarked that the competitive environment dragged down the Q3 print. What also sent investors rushing for the exits was management guiding current-quarter sales to a range between $2.38 billion and $2.46 billion. Previously, the consensus stood at $2.45 billion.
Still, the market tends to move on anticipated events. Given that the poor print is now in the rearview mirror, traders may consider looking at SIG stock from a fresh perspective.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fundamental and Technical Underpinnings Point Northward for SIG Stock</h2>
To be sure, the dynamic political and economic ecosystem presents significant concerns for investors. Nevertheless, key datapoints suggest that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42850914/us-services-sector-growth-tops-forecasts-but-price-pressures-tariff-concerns-cloud-outlook">consumer sentiment is generally improving</a>, which may have positive implications for Signet's core business. After all, academic research indicates an <a href="https://www.bgsu.edu/content/dam/BGSU/college-of-arts-and-sciences/NCFMR/documents/FP/FP-14-18-marriage-rate-recession.pdf">inverse correlation</a> between rising unemployment and odds of marriage.
Recently, the stronger-than-expected December Purchasing Managers' Index highlighted resilience in the U.S. services sector. Further, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey data for November, revealing that the namesake metric rose by 259,000 to 8.1 million. This figure exceeded market expectations of 7.7 million.
It should be noted that vacancies increased for white-collar categories, such as professional and business services and finance and insurance. Put another way, the vacancies were tied to sectors that <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/markcperna/2024/08/15/gen-z-blue-collar-career-opportunity/">younger workers prefer</a>.
Beyond the fundamentals, investors may also take confidence in the technical framework of SIG stock. For the past 20 years, SIG commands an upward bias when viewed from a month-over-month performance basis. Specifically, out of 252 months, 136 posted a positive return on a sequential basis, thus yielding bullish probabilities of nearly 54%.
Intriguingly, the aforementioned upward bias improves whenever SIG stock encounters severe monthly volatility. For example, last month, SIG suffered a drop of just under 20%. Since January 2004, there have been 22 instances when Signet stock incurred a one-month decline of 15% or worse. Out of this tally, 14 subsequent months saw a positive return or 63.64% of the time. Moreover, the average positive return landed at 18%.

Of course, history isn't guaranteed to repeat. But the combination of supportive fundamentals and the technical dip-buying tendency bodes favorably for SIG stock.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A High-Risk, High-Reward Call Spread Beckons</h2>
Recognizing that the market tends to get greedy when extreme fear strikes SIG stock, daring speculators may consider an options strategy called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread">bull call spread</a>. This multi-leg transaction involves buying a call option and simultaneously selling a call at a higher strike price for the same expiration date. Here, traders can discount their long position by using the credit from the short call to partially offset the debit paid for the long call.
Assuming prior statistical trends play out, by the end of this month, SIG stock could be up 18% against December's close or around $95.24. To provide some margin for error, aggressive traders may consider the 85/90 bull call spread (buy the $85 call, sell the $90 call) for the options chain expiring Feb. 21, 2025.
The above transaction provides a month-and-a-half for the bullish thesis to pan out, enabling traders the potential choice of exiting the position early. Also, SIG would only need to hit $90 (an 11.5% increase from December's final session) to receive the maximum reward.
To be upfront, the time-of-writing max payout of almost 355% indicates that market makers believe SIG stock hitting $90 by expiration to be a low-probability event. However, the counterargument is that the combination of improving fundamentals and a technical tendency of extreme-value hunting makes for a surprisingly tempting transaction.

Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following recent economic data and a rise in yields. Also, the sector may be falling in response to a recent pullback in NVIDIA as investors evaluate CES announcements.

Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday following an upgrade from Morgan Stanley. Martijn Rats upgraded Shell shares from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raised the price target from $66.50 to $79.80, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SHEL/analyst-ratings">reflecting a 20% potential upside.</a>
Rats concluded that Shell's financial strength, combined with a favorable valuation, makes it well-positioned to weather ongoing challenges in the energy sector while delivering sustainable returns. 
The analyst noted that while the energy sector sharply underperformed in the second half of 2024, much of the downside risk is now priced in. He explained that Shell&#8217;s financial resilience and compelling valuation metrics supported the rating change. The analyst observed that Shell trades at 0.4 times the market&#8217;s price-to-cash flow multiple and offers a dividend yield 1.7 times higher than the market average.
Rats also said that Shell&#8217;s strong free cash flow outlook and lower risk of year-over-year distribution reductions set it apart from peers. Despite ongoing minor downward pressures on consensus earnings estimates for the sector, he said the earnings downgrade cycle is nearing completion.
The analyst also noted the mixed prospects for the oil and gas markets in 2025. While gas markets remain robust, oil markets appear well supplied, and downstream margins are likely to stay under pressure. Rats and his team noted that Shell's financial metrics position it to outperform in this challenging environment, especially compared to other major players in the sector.
SHEL Price Action: Shell shares were up 1.80% at $65.92 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Shell Shares Are On The Rise Today: What's going On?

Wall Street enters 2025 singing the same song it has sung for the past few years:
Artificial Intelligence!
Quantum Computing!
FinTech!
Tesla! (Ticker: TSLA)
Crypto!
Tech!
More tech!
That is where the action is; as we know, these things can grow forever, and nothing could go wrong.
The business&#8217;s more &#8220;prominent&#8221; folks suggest indexing and a 60-40 mix of stocks and bonds.
Never mind that this exposes you to a massive position in high-multiple tech stocks and low total returns over the next decade.
It is prudent.
All the textbooks say so.
I am more interested in the things Wall Street never talks about.
Wall Street never mentions the type of small banks mentioned last week.
Old economy companies trading for less than the liquidation value of the assets they own are never talked about.
Unless they are doing an IPO that lures buyers willing to pay a high fee, you will never hear closed-end funds mentioned.
When they are out of favor and trading at a discount to the value of the stocks and bonds in the fund and throwing off a high stream of regular income, the big firms and Instant Experts of the internet are as silent as the mice scurrying in the rafters of Trinity Church.
You rarely hear any discussion of real estate aside from the occasional asset allocation scheme that calls for a 10% allocation to Real Estate Investment Trusts for diversification purposes.
No one mentions the Morningstar data that shows that since 1972, REITs have outperformed the S&amp;P 500.
The CREM Benchmarking study never comes up either.
That study clarifies that REITs have outperformed private equity in defined benefit pension plans over the last 25 years.
The instant experts are too busy trying to predict which company will dominate nuclear energy when the new plants are finally turned on and can produce cash flow in future years. They never mention the REITs throwing off growing streams of cash right now.
Wall Street and the Instant Experts only care about what is hot now.
You will hear little mention of portfolios of almost fully leased properties that pay investors a huge amount of cash every quarter.
Broadstone Net Lease (Ticker: BNL) is a great example of a collection of properties producing regular cash streams that are being distributed to shareholders as dividends.
Broadstone owns industrial, warehouse, and retail properties across the United States.
The average lease has 11 years to run, and all leases have a 2% escalation clause that helps protect cash flows from inflation.
Its tenants include Nestlé, Carvana, Tractor Supply, and other well-known companies with excellent credit profiles.
30% of its properties are manufacturing facilities making everything from food products to semiconductors.
It has both normal and cold storage warehouse facilities, and it will see increased demand from the remaking of the global supply chain and the continued rise of e-commerce.
All of the properties are net lease properties, which means that tenants pay all maintenance, insurance, and taxes in addition to rent.
Broadstone has an excellent balance sheet, with BBB credit ratings and about twice as much equity as long-term debt.
The REIT maintains plenty of liquidity, so it can withstand all economic turmoil and take advantage of opportunities created by disruptions.
This is not the most exciting story you will hear this year.
It may be the most consistent and profitable over the next several years. The current yield on the shares is about 7.3%, and the shares trade at a fairly steep discount to my internal calculation of net asset value.
None of the chattering experts on the internet will be excited about a collection of retailers we all drive by and use every day of our lives that is throwing off cash, either.
Alpine Income Property Trust (Ticker: PINE) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in owning and managing high-quality, single-tenant retail and office properties. Based in Florida, the company strategically focuses on acquiring net lease assets in thriving markets across the United States.
Alpine emphasizes properties leased to strong, creditworthy tenants, often with long-term, triple-net lease agreements that shift maintenance, taxes, and insurance costs to the tenant.
Its tenants include companies like Walmart (Ticker: WMT), Dollar General (Ticker: DG), 7-Eleven, Bass Pro Shops, Best Buy (Ticker: BBY), and CVS (Ticker: CVS).
Alpine&#8217;s properties are also leased on a triple-net basis, so most of the cash collected goes back to shareholders as a dividend.
The yield is currently about 6.6%, and the portfolio of properties is, in my calculation, worth much more than the current price of the shares.
When it comes to investing, boring companies that generate a lot of cash have a better-than-average chance of being wildly profitable investments for patient, aggressive investors.
In the case of REITs, that has been the case for more than five decades.

Under the Radar: Undervalued Assets Wall Street Isn't Talking About

On Jan. 6, 2025, Justin Trudeau's announcement that he will step down as Prime Minister once a new liberal leader is chosen sent shock waves through Canadian politics. But one person who likely isn't surprised is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/01/42768256/to-survive-no-matter-what-kevin-oleary-says-you-need-5m-in-the-bank-you-can-take-care-of-a-lot-of-people">Kevin O'Leary</a>.
The Shark Tank star and outspoken Canadian business owner just days ago didn't hold back when critiquing Trudeau's leadership. Speaking in an interview with BNN Bloomberg, O'Leary slammed Trudeau's handling of the economy and leadership style, even going so far as to say, "I mean no disrespect, but I wouldn't let them run a bodega. They don't know what they're doing."

</ul>
O'Leary's fiery remarks targeted Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, whose policies he called disastrous for Canada's economic competitiveness. "I want to respect Freeland because she is the finance minister. But I don't know why she's the finance minister. She has no experience at this. She's never even run a bank," he said, adding, "Bad managers do a lot of damage. And she is a very bad, underqualified manager."
"Start From Scratch"
O'Leary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42271850/kevin-oleary-credits-random-decisions-for-biggest-shark-tank-success-stories">didn't just criticize – </a>he called for a total reboot of Canada's leadership. In a LinkedIn post six months ago, he wrote: "I wouldn't let them run a candy store. They have NO idea what they're doing! This place desperately needs new leadership that understands the potential of the country. I'd like to see a big spatula scrape everybody out of there and start from scratch. Reboot the country. CANADA 2.0!"
In a CBC News December 2024 interview, he also said that Canada's economy was in "free fall" due to poor policy decisions, particularly around natural resources. "I can't help but blame Justin Trudeau for that for the last decade. He's a weak manager. In my opinion, he's a very successful politician but a very, very weak manager," said O'Leary.

The Capital Gains Tax Controversy
One specific policy that drew O'Leary's ire was the liberals' recent capital gains tax hike. This hike forces Canadians earning more than $250,000 in capital gains annually to pay taxes on two-thirds of their profits, up from half. O'Leary called the move a mistake that will harm Canada's global competitiveness.
"When you mess around with corporate tax rates, corporations are not people. They can move. Structures can move. And they will. And they'll contort themselves if all of a sudden, they find a path of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42734807/china-is-not-a-developing-nation-says-kevin-oleary-claims-theyre-at-an-economic-war-with-us">least resistance somewhere else</a>," O'Leary said. He warned that Canada is heading toward the bottom of G20 tax competitiveness rankings, adding, "It's just shameful. It's a real problem."

What's Next for Canada?
Trudeau's resignation comes amid growing pressure from critics like O'Leary, who have long questioned his economic record. "Canada, if you look at resources per capita, is one of the richest countries on earth run by complete idiots," O'Leary said bluntly earlier this year.
Whether or not Trudeau's exit will bring the change O'Leary and others are calling for remains to be seen. For now, it's clear that the conversation around Canada's economy and leadership has reached a boiling point.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On JD.com

Sekisui House, a leading Japanese homebuilder, is steadily expanding its presence in the U.S. home construction market, injecting significant investment and innovative approaches to a sector grappling with surging demand.
Last January, Sekisui House acquired<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36679079/why-homebuilding-company-m-d-c-holdings-shares-are-rocketing-today"> Colorado-based MDC Holdings</a>, a major U.S. homebuilder known for its Richmond American Homes brand, in a $5 billion cash transaction.
Sekisui House's U.S. portfolio also includes subsidiaries such as Woodside Homes, Holt Homes, Chesmar Homes and Hubble Homes. Collectively, these subsidiaries project an annual construction output of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/07/39575355/shrinking-dreams-new-homes-hitting-the-market-at-smallest-size-in-15-years"> 15,000 new homes across 16 states</a>, according to Realtor.com.

</ul>
The MDC acquisition elevates Sekisui House to the fifth-largest homebuilder in the United States by units, according to 2023 completion data from ProBuilder, a leading industry publication.
While still trailing major players like Lennar and D.R. Horton, Sekisui House's strategic expansion has solidified its position as a significant force in the U.S. market.
In Japan, Sekisui House is renowned for its high-end customer homes and is the second-largest builder by revenue.
However, with Japan's housing market experiencing a slowdown because of an aging and declining population, the company has shifted its focus to the American market to pursue growth opportunities.

Yoshihiro Nakai, the company&#8217;s CEO, said the MDC acquisition is a significant advancement of Sekisui House's strategy to expand in the U.S. and bring the unique value of its philosophies and technology to the American homebuilding market.
"We believe that we can become a one-of-a-kind entity in the U.S. by combining Japanese and U.S. technologies and, above all, sharing our passion for providing quality housing," Nakai said.
Sekisui House will launch its largest overseas training program as soon as this month. It will send a team of 20 experts to the U.S. to train local contractors, including carpenters. The initiative aims to address the acute labor shortage plaguing the U.S. homebuilding industry, where the National Association of Home Builders estimates a shortfall of 1.5 million housing units.
In Japan, construction projects often require significantly fewer workers than in the U.S. This efficiency stems partly from the multidisciplinary nature of Japanese construction workers, who are trained in a wide range of skills.

A 2017 Financial Times analysis revealed that the average Japanese construction worker's productivity surpasses that of their U.S. counterparts by about 37% in terms of new homes built annually.
Sekisui House is exploring ways to integrate elements of the multidisciplinary approach into its U.S. operations through the training program, with the goal of enhancing efficiency and productivity within the American construction workforce.
It remains to be seen whether the Japanese approach to homebuilding can be effectively adapted to the U.S. Factors such as stringent regulation and established work union rules may present obstacles.
"Sekisui will face the same fundamental challenges that other U.S. builders are facing, namely high input costs (like land, labor and lumber), regulatory hurdles and weakened buyer demand in the current environment of high mortgage rates," Realtor.com Senior Economist Joel Berner said.
Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://equitymultiple.com/benzinga?invite=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=product-promotion-earn&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_content=stockmarket-yahoo"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
Berner said Sekisui House may also have several key advantages in the U.S. market, including lower borrowing costs compared to American builders, enabling the company to offer more competitive pricing and a distinct product offering that may appeal to a unique segment of homebuyers.
For now, Sekisui House maintains the existing brands and construction methods of its U.S. subsidiaries. However, the company plans to gradually introduce new offerings, exploring the U.S. market's receptiveness to homes incorporating Japanese design and technology.
According to Nikkei Asia, Sekisui House aims to construct 20,000 homes in the U.S. by January 2032. A significant portion of this goal — 3,000 units — is projected to be comprised of Shawood houses, which embody the company's signature Japanese-style wood home designs that prioritize environmental adaptability.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">Arrived Home's Private Credit Fund&#8217;s has historically paid an annualized dividend yield of 8.1%&#x2A;</a>, which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with just a $100 minimum.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">&nbsp;</a>
The MDC acquisition underscores Sekisui House's commitment to expanding its U.S. operations and investment. The strategic focus is evident in the company's financial performance, with overseas sales experiencing significant growth.
For the first nine months of 2024, Sekisui House reported about $5 million in overseas revenue, a 156% increase compared to the previous year. The overseas revenue stream now accounts for about 30% of the company's total revenue, a significant rise from the 15% share last year.
"It's always great to see increased investment in homebuilding in the United States," Berner said. "The housing supply gap is one of the most important domestic issues of our time and if we're serious about providing safe, affordable, sustainable places for American families to live, then we invite Sekisui House to show us what it can do."
