RPM International, Cal-Maine Foods And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

On Monday, Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) encountered a bearish outlook from Guggenheim, as analyst John DiFucci downgraded the cybersecurity giant's stock to "sell," citing concerns over declining growth metrics and financial adjustments.
What Happened: Guggenheim's DiFucci expressed skepticism about Palo Alto Networks&#8217; future performance despite its 40% stock increase since February. He downgraded the stock to "sell" from "neutral" and set a $130 price target, nearly 30% below its current valuation, MarketWatch <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/palo-alto-networks-stock-could-fall-nearly-30-if-this-sell-call-plays-out-053311c6">reported</a> on Monday.
DiFucci highlighted that Palo Alto Networks has recorded five consecutive quarters of declining new annual recurring revenue (ARR), a critical metric for gauging business momentum. Additionally, he noted that adjusted free-cash-flow margins, when factoring in acquisition costs and share repurchases, are closer to 25%-26%, rather than the reported 37%-38%, which he still described as "respectable."
The company's "platformization" strategy—offering free products to drive adoption of its broader offerings—also drew scrutiny. While DiFucci acknowledged its logic, he questioned its novelty, pointing out that such strategies have been employed across the sector for years.
Why It Matters: The downgrade comes as Palo Alto Networks continues to emphasize its platformization strategy, a cornerstone highlighted during its fiscal first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/24/11/42119651/whats-going-on-with-palo-alto-networks-stock-thursday">earnings call in November</a>. The company reported revenue growth of 14% year-over-year to $2.14 billion, surpassing estimates, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.56, beating expectations.
CEO Nikesh Arora underscored the significance of the platformization approach, stating, "Our Q1 results reinforced our conviction in our differentiated platformization strategy." 
Looking ahead, Palo Alto Networks anticipates second-quarter fiscal 2025 revenue between $2.22 billion and $2.25 billion, with adjusted earnings per share ranging from $1.54 to $1.56. While the company remains confident in its outlook, the downgrade and subsequent analysis could influence investor sentiment and pressure the stock in the near term.
Price Action: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, Palo Alto was down by 0.74% on Tuesday during pre-market hours.

What Happened: During his keynote speech at the CES conference in Las Vegas, Huang announced the launch of Digits, a desktop-sized personal AI supercomputer that will be available in May 2025.

The system is compact, about the size of a small book, yet packed with impressive specs — 128GB of unified memory and up to 4TB of NVMe storage, offering immense processing power.
With this setup, Digits can handle a single AI model of up to 200 billion parameters, which would typically require cloud services like AWS or custom-built data centers.
"It runs the entire Nvidia AI stack," Huang said during his keynote, adding, "All of Nvidia's software runs on this, DGX cloud runs on this.&nbsp;
This ability will allow anyone with the system to run some of the most sophisticated models currently available without relying on cloud resources.

Jensen Huang Unveils $3000 'Personal AI Supercomputer' The Size Of A Small Book: 'It Runs The Entire Nvidia AI Stack'

Jeff Bezos&#8216; Blue Origin said on Monday that it is looking to launch its New Glenn rocket for the first time to orbit no earlier than Jan. 10, Friday.
What Happened: The rocket is slated to launch from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The three-hour launch window opens at 1 a.m. EST.
The key objective for the mission, the company said, is to reach orbit safely. The company is also looking to land the booster of the vehicle in the Atlantic Ocean after launch. The company said in a statement that the booster landing is &#8220;ambitious but we are going for it&#8221;
"This is our first flight and we've prepared rigorously for it," said Jarrett Jones, SVP, New Glenn. "But no amount of ground testing or mission simulations is a replacement for flying this rocket. It's time to fly. No matter what happens, we'll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch."
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized the first launch of Blue Origin's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40868010/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-names-new-glenn-1s-first-booster-so-youre-telling-me-theres-a-chance-heres-wh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Glenn vehicle</a>&nbsp;in late December. The commercial space launch license, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42712726/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-gets-license-from-faa-for-new-glenn-maiden-launch">valid for five years</a>, allows Blue Origin to conduct orbital missions from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida with the New Glenn.
New Glenn is a reusable heavy-lift rocket named after&nbsp;John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth. The development of the vehicle, expected to compete with SpaceX's Falcon launch vehicle, has been delayed for years.
New Glenn, unlike Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle, can reach the Earth's orbit and beyond.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38909990/90-year-old-breaks-record-as-oldest-astronaut-with-blue-origins-launch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Shepard</a>, meanwhile, can only reach the edge of space.
New Glenn's first launch will mark the rocket&#8217;s first National Security Space Launch certification flight. It will carry the company&#8217;s Blue Ring Pathfinder – developed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38909990/90-year-old-breaks-record-as-oldest-astronaut-with-blue-origins-launch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blue Origin&#8217;s</a>&nbsp;In-Space Systems business unit – as a payload.
SpaceX Eyes Next Starship Test Flight on Jan.10: SpaceX, meanwhile, is looking to launch its ambitious Starship launch vehicle on its seventh test flight <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801847/spacex-to-deploy-model-starlink-satellites-on-upcoming-starship-flight-test">on Friday as well</a>. Starship will launch from Starbase in Texas carrying 10 Starlink simulators which are similar in size and weight to the company&#8217;s next-generation Starlink satellites. 
For the upcoming flight, SpaceX is looking to catch the vehicle's booster back at the launch pad at Starbase with the launch tower's metallic arms like on its fifth test flight in October. However, in case of any safety concerns, the company will splash it down in the Gulf of Mexico, it said.
The Starship is still in&nbsp;development and undergoing testing. While NASA is looking forward to landing humans back on the surface of the Moon after a gap of over 50 years with the help of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">custom version of the Starship</a>, Musk dreams of taking&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">humans to the planet Mars</a>&nbsp;aboard the&nbsp;vehicle.

Jeff Bezos Vs Elon Musk: Blue Origin Looks To Fly New Glenn For First Time On Same Day As Starship's 7th Test Flight

The U.S. Department of Defense, on Monday, added several Chinese firms, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) supplier Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), to its list of companies allegedly supporting Beijing's military efforts, causing a sharp decline in their stock values.
What Happened: The U.S. Department of Defense expanded its &#8220;Section 1260H list&#8221; to include Tencent Holdings and CATL, citing their alleged contributions to China&#8217;s military advancements. This move serves as a warning to U.S. entities regarding the potential risks of engaging with these firms.
Following the announcement, Tencent&#8217;s shares dropped by 7.8% in Hong Kong, while CATL&#8217;s stock saw a 6% decline in Shenzhen. Both companies denied any involvement with China&#8217;s military and expressed their intent to cooperate with U.S. authorities to rectify the situation.

Why It Matters: The U.S. blacklisting of Tencent and CATL comes amid heightened trade tensions, with both nations targeting each other's key industries. On Thursday, China's Ministry of Commerce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/39057312/chinese-firms-blacklisted-in-us-rebrand-themselves-as-american-to-avoid-sanctions-imposed-by-biden-a">imposed new trade controls</a>, adding 28 U.S. companies to an export control list and banning the export of dual-use items that serve both military and civilian purposes. Major U.S. defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), were also placed on China's Unreliable Entity List, prohibiting their operations in China and restricting executives from entering the country.
This back-and-forth escalation highlights the growing challenges faced by global businesses navigating geopolitical uncertainties. Experts, like Andrew Gilholm of Control Risks, note that while many sanctions are symbolic, the expanding scope and frequency of these actions signal a more aggressive stance from both nations. Additionally, Chinese firms are responding to U.S. restrictions by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/39057312/chinese-firms-blacklisted-in-us-rebrand-themselves-as-american-to-avoid-sanctions-imposed-by-biden-a">rebranding and establishing</a> U.S.-based entities to sidestep sanctions, further complicating regulatory landscapes.

What Happened: Amazon's Ring is partnering with fire safety product maker Kidde to launch two new products: the Kidde Smart Smoke Alarm with Ring and the Kidde Smart Smoke and CO Alarm with Ring.
These devices seamlessly integrate with Ring's home security ecosystem, allowing users to receive real-time alerts through the Ring mobile app, the company announced at CES 2025 on Monday.

Ring is also introducing a subscription service for $5 per month which offers access to professional monitoring and emergency dispatchers.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Ring, acquired by Amazon in 2018 for $1 billion, is best known for its video doorbells and has since expanded to include a diverse lineup of security products.
The company, under CEO Liz Hamren, reported profitability for the first time in 2023.
Amazon&#8217;s move into fire safety comes as the smart home security space heats up, with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) reportedly preparing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42666738/how-apples-upcoming-smart-doorbell-compares-to-amazons-ring">enter the smart doorbell market</a>.
Apple's upcoming device is rumored to feature Face ID for facial recognition, setting it apart from Amazon&#8217;s Ring, which relies on motion detection and recording.
According to Vantage Market Research, the global smart home market, valued at $75.36 billion in 2020, is projected to surpass $423.95 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.10% anticipated between 2022 and 2028.

Payments Platform Paysafe Receives Payment Institution (PI) License To Launch Regulated Online Sports-Betting Market In Brazil

Pro-Bitcoin (CRYPO: BTC) Canadian politician Pierre Poilievre became the favorite of Polymarket bettors to become the country's next prime minister after the federal elections following Justin Trudeau's resignation on Monday.
What happened: The odds in favor of Poilievre, the head of the Conservative Party of Canada, <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/next-prime-minster-of-canada?tid=1736209959811">jumped </a>to 88% on the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-based decentralized prediction platform. Conversely, the probability of Trudeau returning to power dipped below 1% as of this writing.
About $467,645 has been wagered on the outcome, with bets linked to Poilievre amounting to $278, 387.&nbsp;
The next Canadian federal election will take place on or before Oct. 20 to elect members of the House.
Poilievre had an even <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxcanadapm/canada-pm">stronger chance</a> on Kalshi, a federally regulated betting platform, with 95% odds in favor at the time of writing.&nbsp;
Note that Polymarket is not available to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41838037/will-polymarket-return-to-the-us-after-getting-trump-victory-right-ceo-says-its-part-of-the-plan"> U.S. residents </a>due to regulatory hurdles.

Why It Matters: Poilievre has been a proponent of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, calling Canadians to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/09/28869060/canadians-cant-opt-out-of-inflation-with-bitcoin-prime-minster-justin-trudeau-lashes-out-a">invest in the sector</a> to avoid inflation.
The Conservative Party leader also desired to make Canada the "blockchain capital of the world."
However, Trudeau, belonging to the Liberal Party, has slammed these views, warning that anyone who followed Poilievre's advice and invested in Bitcoin "would have seen their life savings destroyed."
