Limoneira And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Tuesday's Pre-Market Session

WIIM

Avita Medical shares are trading higher after D. Boral Capital initiated coverage on the stock with a Buy rating and announced a $25 price target.

The chief business officer and the chief insurance officer of the insurance technology company Lemonade Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMND#NYSE">LMND</a>) sold their shares in the company on Dec. 3, as per the SEC filings. The company&#8217;s technical analysis shows that the stock is under short-term pressure.
What Happened: John Sheldon Peters sold 1,790 shares of the company worth $81,445, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. After the transaction, the chief insurance officer was left with 88,493 shares of the company. He diluted 1.98% of his ownership after the trade.
On the other hand, the chief business officer Maya Prosor sold 304 shares, worth a total of $13,832, as per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga </a>Pro. After the trade, he directly owns 8,684 company shares and 29,286 shares indirectly via Cohen Holdings, LLC. Prosor&#8217;s sale was conducted to cover tax withholding obligations and it wasn&#8217;t a discretionary decision.

Why It Matters: From a technical perspective, the analysis of daily moving averages indicates that the stock may be under pressure in the short term.
The stock ended at $39.90 apiece on Monday. This was below its eight and 20-day simple moving averages, of $40.95 and $44.42, respectively. As per Benzinga Pro data, its current stock price was higher than the 50-day moving average of $33.92 and its 200-day moving average of $21.50.
This implies that it could still be in a long-term uptrend while it is testing fresh support levels near the average value.
On the other hand, the relative strength index of 49.22 suggests the stock is in a neutral zone and is neither overbought nor oversold.

Price Action: Shares of Lemonade are up 134.15% on a year-to-date basis, outperforming the NYSE Composite, which was up 14.05% in the same period. However, Lemonade has fallen by 21.80% over the last month.
About 12 analysts tracked by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LMND/analyst-ratings">Benzinga </a>have a consensus &#8216;sell&#8217; rating on the stock with a price target of $29.18 per share. The highest price target was $60 issued by JPMorgan on Nov. 22 and the low is $12 issued by BofA Securities on May 4, 2023.
The three most recent analyst ratings have seen a target upgrade by JMP Securities, BMO Capital, and Piper Sandler, however, it still implies a 0.58% downside for LMND.

The Pudgy Penguins (CRYPTO: PENGU) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42562051/pudgy-penguins-pengu-token-extends-rally-outperforms-dogecoin-shiba-inu-on-wednesday">meme coin is seeing a surge in interest</a>, fueled by new exchange listings, bullish sentiment and whale accumulation. 
What Happened: Onchain Lens <a href="https://x.com/OnchainLens/status/1871397092125769748">data</a> shows that a newly created wallet acquired 519.99 million PENGU tokens, valued at $14.72 million, via Binance.  
In Mario Nawfal's latest Crypto Daily episode posted on <a href="https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/1871182703816839401">X</a> on Dec 23, Luca Netz, the creator of Pudgy Penguins, shared insights into the project's vision. 
He dismissed the idea that Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) will maintain dominance forever, labeling it as a "bad assumption." 
Netz emphasized that memetic characters like Pudgy Penguins remain underdeveloped and have untapped cultural potential.
He added that in terms of social viewership and other factors Dogecoin and Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) are the only two closest competitors.
Netz short term goal for Pudgy Penguins is to make it a cultural phenomenon which has happened only twice earlier in the crypto space – DOGE and Bored Apes and Ape. 
The next big step for Pudgy he believes is a movie TV show and a blockbuster game.

Golar LNG Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLNG#NASDAQ">GLNG</a>) shares traded lower in the premarket session on Tuesday but recovered from the loss. The company has acquired Seatrium&#8217;s and Black &amp; Veatch&#8217;s minority stakes in the FLNG Hilli, including 5.45% common units, 10.9% <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42666947/golar-acquires-all-outstanding-minority-interests-in-the-flng-hilli" rel="noreferrer noopener">Series A shares, and 10.9% Series B shares</a>.
The total transaction value is $90.2 million, comprising $59.9 million in equity and $30.3 million as a pro-rata share of the existing FLNG Hilli debt facility.
This acquisition represents approximately 8% of the full FLNG capacity.
Golar&#8217;s increased ownership will take full economic effect starting January 1, 2025.
The FLNG Hilli is contracted to Perenco in Cameroon until July 2026, after which it is planned to relocate to Argentina under a 20-year agreement with Southern Energy, a consortium of leading Argentine natural gas producers.
The Southern Energy contract is contingent on conditions such as obtaining an export license, completing an environmental assessment, and a Final Investment Decision by Southern Energy.
Since commencing operations in 2018, the FLNG Hilli has achieved global-leading uptime, delivering 124 LNG cargoes and offloading over 8.5 million tons of LNG.
Additionally, Golar LNG and Seatrium have resolved outstanding items, including a $7 million payment by Golar to Seatrium for a Hilli Train 3 utilization bonus and historical work on the former Golar Gandria LNGC.
Following these settlements, no further contractual obligations regarding existing assets remain between Golar and Seatrium.
Golar CEO Karl-Fredrik Staubo said, &#8220;Golar is pleased to take full ownership of FLNG&nbsp;Hilli. The increased ownership will give immediate cash flow accretion and is expected to add approximately $0.5bn of Adjusted EBITDA backlog.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Exchange Traded Concepts Trust Range Global LNG Ecosystem Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNGZ#NYSE">LNGZ</a>) and Invesco Oil &amp; Gas Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PXJ#NYSE">PXJ</a>).
Price Action: GLNG shares are up 0.62% at $42.10 premarket at the last check on Tuesday.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $195.05, after a 0.22% spike. Over the past month, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) stock increased by 15.08%, and in the past year, by 38.65%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735045222_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Alphabet P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Alphabet has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 51.68 of the Interactive Media &amp; Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735045222_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

According to a recent survey by AutoPacific, nearly half of all future three-row SUV shoppers would consider purchasing one that&#8217;s specifically electric. Several EV companies offer options including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>), and Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>).
But which to buy?
Comparing 3 SUVs And Their Starting Prices
Tesla&#8217;s three-row SUV offering is its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42496103/teslas-model-s-model-x-and-cybertruck-now-have-the-same-starting-price-which-to-buy">Model X starting at $79,990</a> with an estimated range of 329 miles.
Meanwhile, Rivian offers the R1S SUV, starting at $75,900 for the base version while Lucid has recently started manufacturing the premium variant of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42432727/lucids-gravity-gets-official-range-estimate-higher-than-teslas-model-x-but-lower-than-its-own-air-sedan">Gravity SUV starting at $94,900</a>.

All three vehicles can seat up to 7 adults. While from a price perspective, the Rivian R1S might seem like a great buy, the base variant of the vehicle only offers a range of 270 miles. 
Model Variants: 
Tesla&#8217;s Model X comes in two variants namely the all-wheel drive and plaid.

Range Comparison:
For drivers looking for the most range, the Lucid Gravity offers the most ease of mind among its counterparts with 450 miles of range.
The Model X has an EPA-estimated range of up to 329 miles while R1S has a maximum range of 410 miles. However, 410 miles of range is available only with the R1S Dual variant coupled with a max battery pack with a starting price of $89,900.
Performance: 
The best option for a customer depends on what they expect out of their vehicle. 
For customers looking for fast acceleration,&nbsp;the Model X can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and the R1S Tri in 2.9 seconds.
For those looking for the most power, the Model X Plaid would be the best option with 1,020 horsepower. Gravity has up to 828 hp and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40954673/rivian-introduces-100k-tri-max-variant-of-r1s-electric-suv-on-online-shop-which-can-go-from-0-60-mph">the R1S Tri variant has up to 850 hp</a>.
Alternate Cheaper Option: Tesla also offers buyers another three-row SUV option in its cheaper Model Y. While the Model Y comes with a five-seat interior included, buyers of the long-range all-wheel drive variant of the vehicle can pay an extra $1000-$2000 for seven-seat interiors. 
The Long Range All-Wheel Drive variant of the Model Y has a starting price of $47,990, meaning an added $2000 for seven-seat interiors would take the price up to $49,990. 
However, the Model Y is smaller in length and width than the company&#8217;s premium SUV Model X, implying that the third row would be relatively more cramped for buyers looking for third-row comfort.

Tesla Model X, Lucid Gravity Or Rivian R1S: Which Three-Row Electric SUV Is A Better Buy?

What goes up must come down. However, buyers who spent millions of dollars on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42623572/constellation-group-reaches-new-heights-at-ella-miami-beach-unveiling-new-rooftop-penthouse#google_vignette">luxury Miami condos</a> only a few years ago didn&#8217;t expect them to come down so soon.
According to a new study from the University of Miami, superhigh structures like the celebrated 641-foot-tall <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42599405/miami-luxury-re-llc-introduces-aston-martin-residences-featuring-ultimate-luxury-and-amenities">Porsche Design Tower</a> lining the barrier islands north of Miami are &#8220;sinking&#8221; at an alarming rate. The study calls into question the stability of the buildings, particularly along Sunny Isles Beach, noting that 35 buildings have sunk three inches in the last seven years, a subsidence rate of just under half an inch per year.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some Of Miami&#8217;s Most Glamorous Towers Have Been Affected</h2>
MSN.com reports that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42591369/concierge-auctions-announces-early-2025-sale-calendar-spanning-north-america-and-asia">The Ritz Carlton</a> Residences and both Trump Towers are among the iconic towers that are losing stature, along with the Porsche Design Tower. This study is made all the more alarming in the wake of the tragedy of the nearby 12-story Surfside, Florida, where the Champlain Towers South building collapsed in June 2021, killing 98 people. That collapse, however, is thought to have been caused by bad structural design, deterioration and poor maintenance rather than subsidence.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Satellite Technology And Multiple Studies</h2>
Using complex satellite technology and cross-referencing their studies with those from other universities to legitimize their findings, the University of Miami has discovered the shocking subsidence rate exists along several parts of the Southern Florida coastline.

Although subsidence is common among newly constructed structures, the weight of the high-rises has accelerated the process, which must also call into question the geological surveys conducted before construction. Contributing factors to accelerated subsidence can include the following:
<ul>
<li>Daily tidal movements</li>
<li>Cracking limestone</li>
<li>Soil grains</li>
<li>Groundwater flow from underground construction.</li>
</ul>
&#8220;We found that subsidence in most high-rises slows down over time, but in some cases, it continues at a steady rate. This suggests that subsidence could persist for an extended period,&#8221; senior author Falk Amelung said.&nbsp;
The sinking &#8220;is primarily due to the gradual reconfiguration of the sand grains into a denser packing within sandy layers interbedded in the limestone&#8221; in the area, the study said. Khaled Siobhan, a geotechnical engineering professor at Florida Atlantic University, told<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/porsche-design-tower-in-miami-641-foot-skyscraper-showing-signs-of-sinking/ar-AA1w2LZd?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds&amp;cvid=cffdb5a6acd042ca804d88c5f2a5bbfd&amp;ei=24"> </a>Interesting Engineering, as reported by MSN, &#8220;The subsidence is probably a combination of several mechanisms and these findings raise important questions that need further investigation.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sinking Could Be Widespread Along The High-Priced Celeb-Studded Shoreline</h2>
The Porsche Design Tower has been home to several celebrities, including soccer legend <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39777763/argentina-wins-copa-am-rica-in-dramatic-final-as-messis-era-nears-end">Lionel Messi</a>, Carlos &#8220;CarGo&#8221; González, the star player of the Colorado Rockies, Mexican billionaire Carlos Peralta Quintero and rapper Birdman, who rented in the tower, the building's website reported. One of the tower&#8217;s main attractions is the internal garage lift system, which allows ultimate privacy by enabling cars to be parked outside the owner&#8217;s apartments – which, in the wake of the subsidence fears, adds considerable weight to the building. However, no determination has been made at this point concerning the sinking rate of individual buildings according to their height and weight. According to NPR.org, scientists said preliminary data also suggests sinking or settling further north along the beaches of Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Should the subsidence continue and different sections of affected buildings subside at different rates, scientists fear foundation cracks, utility breaks and long-term damage could occur.&nbsp;

NODK Stock Earnings: NI Holdings Reported Results for Q2 2024

Financial services are vital to economic health, ensuring liquidity and cash flow. With technological advancements and rising consumer demand, the sector is ripe for growth. Thus, investors could consider taking a look at financial stocks, like Hanover Insurance Group (THG), NI Holdings (NODK), and Hawthorn Bancshares (HWBK), for a mix of growth and stability in their portfolios. Read on… Traditionally, the financial services industry leaned heavily on high interest rates and inflation for growth. However, as technology advances and the economic landscape shifts, we're entering a new era. The sector is poised for significant growth in the upcoming years due to easier access to digital services, growing credit demand, and increased consumer spending.
Given this evolving landscape, one could consider investing in fundamentally sound financial stocks, such as The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/THG/">THG</a>), NI Holdings, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/NODK/">NODK</a>), and Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/HWBK/">HWBK</a>), which can offer both growth and stability to your portfolios.
As the economy grows, so does the demand for financial services, driving profitability across the sector. Financial services are integral to the economy, facilitating transactions and economic growth. Over the next five years, the financial services industry is expected to <a href="https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/global-financial-services-application-market-industry">expand at a CAGR of 13.1%</a>, reaching $271.75 billion by 2029.
Recent signals from the Federal Reserve about potential rate cuts suggest that banks could soon see improved net interest margins. This would enhance the spread between borrowing and lending rates, bolstering capital ratios and overall financial stability.
Additionally, the rapid adoption of technology has revolutionized the industry, streamlining transactions and lending processes for greater efficiency. This digital shift has propelled the digital lending platform market, which is anticipated to hit <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-digital-lending-platform-market-090100301.html">$34.60 billion by 2028</a>, exhibiting an impressive CAGR of 21.9%.
As a result, companies in this sector are better equipped to manage risk when the economy is on an upswing, and the industry is robust. The long-term potential of this sector is strengthened by factors such as economic growth, fluctuation in interest rates, and advancements in financial technology.
Financial stocks offer investors a blend of growth and stability, balancing potential gains with risk management. With that in mind, let's examine the fundamental aspects of the featured stocks in detail:
