<p>Rising mortgage costs have created an unexpected silver lining for many young professionals priced out of homeownership – driving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/03/37613057/occupancy-rate-in-new-yorks-luxury-rental-sector-at-a-30-year-high">demand for luxury rental properties that offer amenities far beyond typical starter homes</a>.<br /><br />A new CBRE study by Forbes revealed a 35% gap between average monthly mortgage payments and apartment rents, sparked by a 75% surge in mortgage costs since 2019.</p>
<p>That affordability gap has transformed rental market dynamics, with upscale apartment developers competing to attract long-term tenants through resort-style amenities. New York&#8217;s The Ellery and Miami&#8217;s 2000 Biscayne are examples of the trend, both reaching 50% occupancy within months of opening.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>

<li><strong>During market downturns, investors are learning that unlike equities, these<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/connect-invest-real-estate-notes"><strong> </strong><strong>high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% &#8211; 9% are protected by resilient assets, buffering against losses.</strong></a></strong></li>
<li><strong>This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"><strong>become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100 for properties like the Byer House from Stranger Things.</strong></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;Renters in today&#8217;s luxury market want to be wowed, which inspired us to focus on stunning views, hotel-level amenities and museum-level art,&#8221; Colleen Wenke, president of Taconic Partners, developer of The Ellery, explained to Forbes. The 32-story Manhattan property features private dining rooms with wine fridges, a full-service spa and a rooftop pool with cabanas.</p>
<p>In Miami, 2000 Biscayne caters to similar preferences with a 5,000-square-foot fitness center, wellness spa and outdoor yoga areas overlooking Biscayne Bay. &#8220;Renters increasingly place a premium on health and wellness, productivity, calm and convenience,&#8221; Nicholas Pantuliano, COO of PTM Partners, said.</p>
<p>The trend extends beyond coastal markets. Philadelphia&#8217;s The Noble offers a year-round 75-foot pool, a 17,000-square-foot gym and extensive coworking spaces, reflecting nationwide demand for lifestyle-focused rental communities.</p>

<p>CBRE forecasts that the homeownership premium will decrease but remain significant enough to keep many potential buyers in luxury rentals longer. The shift has prompted developers to emphasize amenities previously associated with high-end condominiums, from wine storage to private treatment rooms.</p>
<p>The appeal stems partly from flexibility – the properties offer upscale living without the maintenance responsibilities or long-term homeownership commitment. For millennials facing an uncertain housing market, luxury rentals provide immediate access to premium lifestyles while keeping future options open.</p>
<p>The evolution in rental housing reflects broader changes in how young professionals view home and community.

<p>Barrick Gold&#8217;s stock is down 11.97% year-to-date, with its recent performance offering little reason to cheer. The stock sits at $15.65, below its 20-day ($16.53) and 50-day ($17.86) simple moving averages.</p>
<p>While its relative strength index at 34.24 suggests it's approaching oversold territory, the MACD indicator, at a negative 0.61 confirms the bearish sentiment.</p>
<p>Adding a flicker of hope, GOLD&#8217;s eight-day SMA ($15.64) provides a faint bullish signal as the stock barely clings to this short-term moving average. </p>
<p>But let's not get ahead of ourselves—geopolitical tensions and rising U.S. Treasury yields continue to cast a shadow over gold prices.</p>

<p>Newmont, down 6.89% year-to-date, isn't faring any better. Its share price of $38.09 sits below its 20-day ($40.24), 50-day ($44.27), and 200-day ($44.86) SMAs—a trifecta of bearish indicators. </p>
<p>The MACD reading of a negative 1.65 and an RSI of 32.28 suggest further downside is likely, with selling pressure mounting.</p>
<p>Even safe-haven demand for gold amid geopolitical tensions hasn't managed to prop up these miners. Rising U.S. dollar strength and Treasury yields have dampened gold's appeal, turning a potential golden opportunity into fool's gold for investors.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook: Mining For Better Days?</h2>
<p>With gold prices stuck between geopolitical jitters and the gravitational pull of stronger U.S. economic data, Barrick and Newmont's Death Cross signals are a clear warning for investors. </p>
<p>Until the macroeconomic winds shift or gold prices break resistance, these mining heavyweights may find themselves digging deeper into bearish territory.</p>

<p><strong>EQT's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.68% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>19.33 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 3.91% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 2.82 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for EQT has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing EQT's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, EQT's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.53%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>

<p><strong>Amedisys Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMED#NASDAQ">AMED</a>) shares are trading higher on Friday after the company announced it extended its <a target="_blank" href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000896262/048b8c3e-592e-42de-a13b-289ffd8da57d.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">merger</a> deadline with <strong>UnitedHealth Group Incorporated</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>).</p>
<p>In an exchange filing, the companies entered into a waiver agreement, further advancing their merger deal, originally<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41987383/unitedhealths-optum-defends-multi-billion-dollar-amedisys-deal-ensures-competitive-landscape" rel="noreferrer noopener"> announced on June 26, 2023.</a></p>
<p>Under the terms of the agreement, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth, will merge with Amedisys, with Amedisys continuing to operate as a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.</p>
<p>The companies have agreed to push their $3.3 billion merger deadline to next year. This extension follows intense scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Justice, Reuters reports.</p>
<p>Over a month ago, the DOJ and three U.S. states <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41917050/justice-department-moves-to-block-unitedhealths-amedisys-takeover-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">filed a lawsuit to prevent the deal.</a> They argued that the merger would harm competition in the home health services market.</p>

<p>The waiver allows both Amedisys and UnitedHealth Group to extend the period during which they cannot terminate the merger due to delays.</p>
<p>The companies have agreed to waive their right to terminate the agreement until the earlier of two conditions: 5:00 p.m. New York time on the tenth business day after a final order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland permanently blocking the merger, or 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2025.</p>
<p>The waiver ensures that the merger process remains in effect until one of these deadlines is reached.</p>
<p>The waiver also includes important financial and operational adjustments. The Regulatory Break Fee under the merger agreement is set at $275 million, which could increase to $325 million if certain divestiture milestones are not met.</p>
<p>Additionally, the waiver modifies certain operational restrictions and closing conditions, particularly those related to government approvals, and increases the revenue-related aspect of the "Burdensome Condition" definition.</p>
<p>Despite regulatory scrutiny and potential challenges, this waiver marks a key development in the ongoing efforts to finalize the merger.</p>
<p>The companies continue to work toward completing the deal, which is expected to provide both parties substantial synergies and growth opportunities.</p>

<p>As Kentucky prepares to roll out its medical cannabis program on Jan. 1, 2025, the already complex issue of gun sales and weed will likely get even more complex due to federal regulations that prohibit marijuana <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/guns">consumers from possessing firearms</a>.</p>
<p>Under federal law, as long as cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/controlled-substances-act">Controlled Substances Act</a> (CSA) these complexities involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) will persist.</p>
<p>As of New Year&#8217;s Day, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42203777/kentucky-awards-first-medical-cannabis-dispensary-licenses">medical marijuana will be legal </a>in Kentucky although, due to the CSA, it remains <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40859406/cannabis-prices-would-be-significantly-lower-in-the-us-if-legalized-study-finds">illegal under federal law</a>. Hence, Kentuckians who own or want to own guns are in a difficult position — a situation faced by gun owners across the U.S. who need or want to consume medical marijuana.</p>
<p><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42694980/cannabis-use-among-teens-plummets-to-30-year-low-study-finds">Cannabis Use Among Teens Plummets To 30-Year Low, Study Finds</a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>ATF Paperwork Is Complicated</strong></h2>
<p>If you want to buy a gun, the process begins with ATF Form 4473. The form includes a question that specifically asks if the buyer is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana, among other controlled substances. Even if marijuana use is legal on a state level, answering yes to any part of that question can disqualify the individual from being able to buy a firearm. If you check yes, licensed sellers cannot legally sell you a gun.</p>
<p>&#8220;You cannot possess firearms and ammunition and also be a user of marijuana,&#8221; ATF Special Agent <strong>AJ Gibes</strong> said Wednesday, <a href="https://www.wdrb.com/news/starting-jan-1-kentuckians-will-have-to-choose-between-medical-marijuana-or-firearms/article_730a16b6-b80c-11ef-9721-93daace5ff86.html">reported</a> Kentucky's WDRB.com.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Give Up Your Right To Bear Arms</strong></h2>
<p>This not only applies to new gun purchases, current legal gun owners also face the tough decision of keeping their guns or partaking in the benefits of medical marijuana.</p>
<p>&#8220;If they wish to follow federal law and not be in violation of it, then they need to make the decision to divest themselves of those firearms,&#8221; Gibes said when asked if medical marijuana card owners are expected to give up their guns.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are not actively seeking and working solely on investigations involving just the possession of firearms and marijuana because of our finite resources,&#8221; he said. Still, for Kentuckians interested in following the law, this is the decision they'll face.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Don&#8217;t Lie To The ATF</strong></h2>
<p>Lying on form 4473 is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and/or up to a $250,000 fine. However, Gibes said charges are likely to only be pursued only in connection with another felony.</p>

The firm's stores offer products and services for home decorating, maintenance, repair, and remodeling, with maintenance and repair accounting for two thirds of products sold.

PayPal Holdings Unusual Options Activity For December 27

Warning: MYNA is at high risk of performing badly

Mynaric reports preliminary FY results

Mynaric AG (MYNA) Q4 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Many cheap stocks under $10 are cheap for a good reason. Cash-burning biotechs, sketchy shell companies and overhyped fads with more sizzle than substance. But amidst the minefield of duds, there are always a few diamonds in the rough with legitimate 10-bagger potential.</p>



<p>I&rsquo;ve sifted through the bargain bin to bring you seven of the most promising cheap stocks under $10 that I think could multiply. That said, the upside prospect also means there is a significant downside potential too. But I have found picks that have low dilution and could realistically deliver multibagger returns if the stars align for them. These stocks could definitely hit a home run if the best-case scenario unfolds for their underlying businesses. If not, prepare to stomach the losses. Let&rsquo;s take a look!</p>



<h2>Aemetis (AMTX)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/amtx-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="A magnifying glass zooms in on the website for Aemetis (AMTX)."><div>Source: Pavel Kapysh / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Aemetis</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/amtx-stock-quote/"><strong>AMTX</strong></a></span>) develops and commercializes technologies that replace petroleum-based products with renewable fuels. The company&rsquo;s stock has been on a wild ride, with shares plummeting over 50% in the past year amid continued losses.</p>



<p>However, I believe Aemetis may be nearing an inflection point. The stock has started to stabilize and trade sideways recently. Analysts expect Aemetis to turn profitable within two years on the back of explosive revenue growth. Further, they <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/AMTX/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">expect sales to surge 90% </a>this year to $354 million. Looking further out, the company&rsquo;s updated five year plan ambitiously targets revenues <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/aemetis-announces-updated-five-plan-130000260.html" target="_blank">reaching $1.95 billion by 2028</a>. That&rsquo;s a robust 38% compound annual growth rate. This revenue spike could lead to a breakout.</p>



<p><strong>H.C. Wainwright</strong> analyst Amit Dayal recently reiterated a &ldquo;Buy&rdquo; rating and a $28 price target, highlighting Aemetis&rsquo; &ldquo;<a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/aemetis-amtx-fuels-expectations-falls-short" target="_blank">notable year-on-year revenue growth</a>.&rdquo; While this price target may prove overly optimistic, it&rsquo;s not hard to envision Aemetis stock multiplying several times over if the company meets expectations.</p>



<p>Of course, execution risk abounds for this speculative renewable energy play. Aemetis will need to rapidly scale its dairy renewable natural gas operations and successfully bring its sustainable aviation fuel plant online. Perhaps the cheap stock is worth the risk.</p>



<h2>Nerdy (NRDY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/chinese-online-learning-300x169.png" alt="Image of a young girl raising her hand in front of a laptop."><div>Source: MIA Studio / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Nerdy</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nrdy-stock-quote/"><strong>NRDY</strong></a></span>) is an innovative online learning platform that uses AI to connect students with expert tutors for personalized live instruction. The company recently reported first-quarter 2024 results, with <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/earnings-call-nerdy-inc-reports-strong-q1-growth-aims-for-10m-us-students-93CH-3428192" target="_blank">revenue of $53.7 million</a> beating expectations and marking a 9% year-over-year increase.</p>



<p>I believe Nerdy is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing trend of AI-enhanced learning. AI can be a game-changer when it comes to understanding complex topics like math. The patience and adaptability of AI-powered tutoring is unmatched. If this type of learning becomes more mainstream, I see huge potential for Nerdy to deliver multibagger returns for investors.</p>



<p>Analysts seem to agree, with a consensus &ldquo;<a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/nrdy/forecast" target="_blank">Moderate Buy</a>&rdquo; rating and an average 12-month price target of $4.46, implying 155% upside from the current stock price. While the financials aren&rsquo;t perfect, with the company still reporting losses, the top-line growth remains solid, and the losses appear manageable. Plus, Nerdy reaffirmed its full-year 2024 revenue guidance of $232-246 million and expects to generate positive operating cash flow.</p>



<h2>Blacksky Technology (BKSY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/shutterstock_1034855800-300x169.png" alt="A photo of a satellite over earth."><div>Source: AlexLMX / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>BlackSky Technology</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bksy-stock-quote/"><strong>BKSY</strong></a></span>) provides real-time geospatial intelligence and satellite imagery analytics. Though it missed analyst estimates, the company saw <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/q1-2024-blacksky-technology-inc-023814821.html" target="_blank">32% year-over-year revenue growth</a> to $24.2 million in Q1 2024.</p>



<p>Despite the revenue surge, BlackSky is still unprofitable, posting a net loss of $15.8 million in Q1. Year-to-date, BKSY has fallen 20% as the increasingly competitive space sector proves challenging for many companies to turn profits due to high operating costs. It is now up by 9.6% in the past month, though.</p>



<p>I see reasons for optimism. BlackSky has been winning significant contracts, including a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/06/12/why-blacksky-stock-rocketed-higher-today/">$30 million contract</a> in Q1 from new deals and renewals. If this momentum continues, I believe the stock could be poised for a breakout. Notably, some analysts project BlackSky reaching profitability by 2026.</p>



<p>The current consensus among analysts is a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/bksy/forecast" target="_blank">&ldquo;Strong Buy&rdquo; rating</a>, with an average price target of $3.17, representing a sizable upside from current cheap levels of around $1.10. While I&rsquo;m encouraged by the bullish sentiment, I also recognize the execution risks in the cutthroat space industry. If BlackSky can defy the odds and emerge as a profitable, growing space player, there could be meaningful gains ahead for investors willing to stomach the volatility of cheap stocks under $10. But that&rsquo;s a big &ldquo;if&rdquo; at this stage.</p>



<h2>Serko (SERKF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/air-travel-1600-300x169.png" alt="Plane travel. Man standing in airport waiting for flight. travel stocks to buy"><div>Source: Olena Yakobchuk / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Serko</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/serkf-stock-quote/"><strong>SERKF</strong></a></span>) is a travel management and expense company. The company recently <a href="https://www.serko.com/blog/serko-reports-fy23-total-income-up-154" target="_blank">reported its full-year 2023 earnings</a>, with &ldquo;total income&rdquo; up 154% to 48 million NZD, beating previous guidance. I&rsquo;m bullish here because it targets corporate travel, a niche that could become very big.</p>



<p>Analysts forecast Serko&rsquo;s revenue to grow at <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/SERKF/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">around 19% per year</a> over the next three years, outpacing the growth projected for the overall software industry in Oceania.</p>



<p>If management executes well, Serko could become a major player in the years ahead. However, the company&rsquo;s lack of profitability and limited operating history make it a high-risk investment. As with any young company, multibagger returns are possible but far from guaranteed. The same applies to this cheap stock.</p>



<h2>Mynaric (MYNA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/shutterstock_1838922316-300x169.jpg" alt="rural broadband: a cell phone tower over a long stretch of hills and forest"><div>Source: Steve Heap / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Mynaric</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/myna-stock-quote/"><strong>MYNA</strong></a></span>) develops laser communication technologies for high-bandwidth, long-distance data transmission between moving objects. The Germany-based company has been making notable strides lately, securing major contracts and achieving key product milestones.</p>



<p>I&rsquo;m particularly bullish on Mynaric&rsquo;s laser communication products for wireless data transfer between aircraft, UAVs, high-altitude platforms and satellites. With the growing importance of these technologies in defense and aerospace, Mynaric looks well-positioned to land contracts in the coming years.</p>



<p>Mynaric also posted <a href="https://in.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MYNARIC-AG-38495674/news/Mynaric-AG-Reports-Earnings-Results-for-the-Full-Year-Ended-December-31-2023-46764024/" target="_blank">21.89% revenue growth in 2023 to &euro;5.39 million</a>, though losses widened 26.8% to &euro;93.53 million. Analysts <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/MYNA/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">forecast</a> a whopping 941% revenue surge to $61 million this year and nearly $394 million by 2027. However, profitability is not on the table in the near term.</p>



<p>Again, this is a <em>very</em> high-risk stock due to the losses here. It needs to continuously land contracts to keep up the momentum. Also, more dilution may be needed until it presumably breaks even in 2027 if cash runs out. The underlying tech is good, but you should reconsider a buy if you don&rsquo;t like the risk.</p>



<h2>SSC Security Services (SECUF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cybersecurity-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="internet security and data protection concept, blockchain and cybersecurity"><div>Source: Song_about_summer / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>SSC Security Services</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/secuf-stock-quote/"><strong>SECUF</strong></a></span>) is a publicly traded holding company that provides physical, cyber and electronic security services across Canada. The company has been on an impressive growth trajectory lately, with record revenue and adjusted EBITDA in their latest quarterly results.</p>



<p>In Q2 2024, SSC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item/Z-C!SECU-3554531/C/SECU">posted revenue of $30.4 million</a>, a strong 20.6% increase over the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA also grew 33% to $1.1 million. Personally, I see a lot of potential in SSC Security Services. The need for top-notch physical and cybersecurity is only going to keep increasing in our technology-driven world. With high-profile clients across corporate and government sectors, SSC is well-positioned to capitalize on this demand.</p>



<p>Of course, as with any small and relatively young company, there are risks to consider. Profitability is still inconsistent, competition is fierce and the stock remains thinly traded. However, if SSC can maintain its current growth trajectory and achieve sustained profits, I believe this one of the cheap stocks under $10 that could deliver strong returns in the coming years.</p>

Gas prices dropping."><div>Source: ThePowerPlant/ShutterStock.com</div></div><p><strong>EzFill Holdings</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ezfl-stock-quote/"><strong>EZFL</strong></a></span>) is a pioneer in the mobile fuel delivery industry. The company recently announced preliminary unaudited <a href="https://www.stocktitan.net/news/EZFL/ez-fill-announces-preliminary-unaudited-revenues-of-approximately-2-nl32zk4mzr76.html" target="_blank">revenues of approximately $2.6 million</a> for April 2024, a 32% year-over-year increase.</p>



<p>In many circumstances, bringing the gas station directly to consumers and businesses could prove convenient and efficient. Most logistics companies are doing all they can to maximize efficiency, and if constant trips to the pump eat into their bottom line, EzFill&rsquo;s service may be an attractive option.</p>



<p>However, I&rsquo;m hesitant to jump on the EzFill bandwagon just yet. The company&rsquo;s decision to implement a <a href="https://uk.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/EZFILL-HOLDINGS-INC-127040898/news/EzFill-Holdings-to-Implement-1-for-2-5-Reverse-Stock-Split-47446337/" target="_blank">1-for-2.5 reverse stock split</a> in July 2024 to maintain <strong>Nasdaq</strong> listing compliance gives me pause. The stock has bounced between $3-6 for most of 2024, and analysts seem to be taking a cautious stance.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s low on my watchlist of cheap stocks under $10 due to the reverse split and dilution, but this is a business model I won&rsquo;t be surprised to see take off.</p>
