Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Valero Energy Stock In The Last 5 Years

A Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) executive replied to a post on social media that called out the defense contractor for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44882049/peter-thiels-palantir-bags-30-million-order-from-ice-for-immigrant-tracking-system">new extended contract</a> with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Here's what Palantir Global Head of Commercial Ted Mabrey had to say.
What Happened: Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham criticized in a social media post the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44209697/how-peter-thiel-and-elon-musk-are-shaping-trump-administration"> work being done</a> by Palantir to help the Trump administration in rounding up immigrants.
"It's a very exciting time in tech right now. If you're a first-rate programmer, there are a huge number of other places you can go work rather than at the company building the infrastructure of the police state," Graham <a href="https://x.com/MabreyTed/status/1913703425495470304">tweeted</a>.
Graham shared a post on the ICE contract with Palantir that will build "ImmigrationOS" to expand surveillance and enforcement operations.
Included in the post were highlights of ImmigrationOS providing data on via overstays, self-deportation cases and individuals flagged for removal, including "foreign students flagged for removal for protesting U.S.-Israeli genocide."
Mabrey said Palantir's work with the Department of Homeland Security has spanned the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations.
"We are not looking for partisans at Palantir. Our mission spans administrations and political climates and our culture is one of constant disagreement," Mabrey said.
The Palantir executive, who has been with the company since 2010 according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-mabrey/">LinkedIn</a>, said immigration policies can't be executed by governments.
"If the electorate cannot steer the execution of our government because the government cannot execute, our institutions lose all credibility, and the risk moves from an X debate to a much more fundamental one."
Mabrey said Palantir hires "believers" and the company's work is hard and covers "all sides of the political aisle."

Why It's Important: In the social media post, Mabrey highlights past work done by Palantir, such as protecting people in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, helping with vaccines during Operation Warp Speed, helping with the Afghan withdrawal and enabling "David to resist Goliath in Ukraine."
"My politics have not agreed with many of the policies our software has enabled. But through all of them I have held the steadfast belief that if our government institutions are not competent, politics does not matter."
Graham replied asking if Mabrey and/or Palantir would commit publicly to not "build things that help the government violate the U.S. constitution."
Another lengthy post from Mabrey said this question from Graham was "in bad faith" and compared it to a courtroom trick.
Mabrey said the company's employee political makeup is "enormously varied."
"We make this promise as a company operating in America under the rule of law."
Mabrey's comment that he has not always agreed with things the company does could show the efforts Palantir makes on policies that are supported by both Republicans and Democrats. The company landed government contracts under various presidents and political parties.
Graham highlighted to another social media user that the point about protesting U.S.-Israeli genocide should be a red flag and is why he was most critical of Palantir's new contract extension with ICE.
Palantir stock has soared in the past year and the company was viewed as one of the many that could be favorable in a Trump administration with several connections to the company and the current presidential administration and donors.
Several Palantir co-founders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/06/39557155/palantir-co-founders-thiel-lonsdale-back-trump-in-2024-election-id-rather-have-him-than-biden">endorsed Trump for the</a> 2024 presidential election as well.
PLTR Price Action: Palantir stock was down 3.18% to $90.80 on Monday at market close versus a 52-week trading range of $20.36 to $125.41. Palantir stock is up 20.8% year-to-date in 2025 and up over 300% in the past year.

Though UnitedHealth Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) reported disappointing first-quarter results last week, two analysts from KeyBanc Capital Markets and Truist Securities remain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/04/44902410/unitedhealth-group-stock-is-getting-crushed-whats-fueling-the-selloff">bullish on the stock. </a>
Expert Ideas: Both David MacDonald at Truist and Matthew Gillmor at KeyBanc said that although the health care giant's most recent quarter and 2025 earnings guidance missed the mark, they remain bullish on UnitedHealth for the long term. 
Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44869920/unitedhealth-ceo-says-high-cost-of-us-health-care-simply-not-sustainable"> UnitedHealth CEO Says High Cost Of US Health Care &#8216;Simply Not Sustainable&#8217;&nbsp;</a>
Both analysts said that while the Medicare Advantage utilization trend was troubling, its emergence early in the year will allow time for management to correct course.&nbsp; When coupled with the better-than-expected rate updates for 2026, the analysts see the company recovering into 2026.&nbsp;
The Truist analyst highlighted the narrowing Medicaid rate mismatch and upbeat selling season commentary from management.
KeyBanc sees a "silver lining" in UnitedHealth's ability to correct the RAF coding issues for 2026 and expects the company to factor the higher utilization rates into June bids. The analyst also said competitors like Humana and CVS are "not well positioned to take advantage of UNH's stumble."&nbsp;
The Takeaway: The analysts see UnitedHealth's issues as mostly isolated and "fixable" and maintained bullish ratings on the stock while slashing price targets.&nbsp;
KeyBanc maintained an Overweight rating on UnitedHealth shares, but lowered its price target from $650 to $575. Truist Securities maintained its Buy rating and lowered the price target for UnitedHealth stock from $660 to $580. 
UNH Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro,</a> UnitedHealth shares ended Monday's session 6.35% lower at $425.33.

Three major U.S. defense contractors — RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) — are all scheduled to report earnings before the market opens on Tuesday. Here's a look at what to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44810625/top-analyst-sees-unprecedented-traction-for-pltr-stock-after-nato-agreement-another-validation-sign">watch in the reports. </a>
What To Know: The Trump administration has signaled potentially historic defense spending, with reports suggesting a Pentagon budget near $1 trillion, which could benefit all three contractors. However, President Donald Trump has sent mixed messages by advocating for increased allied purchases of U.S. weapons while discussing the possibility of cutting U.S. military spending. 
The administration's push for efficiency, led by Elon Musk at the Department of Government Efficiency, introduces more uncertainty for defense contractors, as many major programs are under review.

The company's backlog will also be monitored for continued growth after reaching a record $218 billion at the end of 2024.&nbsp;
According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report earnings of $1.35 per share and revenue of $19.79 billion for the quarter.&nbsp;
NOC: Investors will be watching the performance of Northrop&#8217;s four main business segments: Aeronautics Systems, Defense Systems, Mission Systems and Space Systems, as well as updates on 2025 revenue and free cash flow guidance. 
Current expectations are for revenue between $42 billion and $42.5 billion and free cash flow of between $2.9 billion and $3.3 billion.&nbsp;
Earlier in April, Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak upgraded Northrop Grumman stock from Sell to Neutral and raised the price target from $424 to $521. Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $6.26 per share on revenue of $9.94 billion, according to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
LMT: Last week, Evan Scott <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44867490/evan-scott-takes-over-as-lockheed-martin-cfo-succeeding-jesus-jay-malave">was named </a>as Lockheed Martin's CFO, succeeding Jesus Malave, effective immediately. In a press release, the company said it will be reaffirming its previously issued 2025 guidance and will provide updates on other key topics and answer questions with its first quarter earnings release. 
Investors will be watching the company's Aeronautics segment, driven by the F-35 program, which is expected to post solid sales. Analysts expect Lockheed Martin to report earnings of $6.34 per share on revenue of $17.8 billion for the first quarter.

RTX, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman Report Earnings Tuesday: What To Watch

Some startups break the internet. Others go old school—and still make a fortune.
Ari Siegel, the founder of History By Mail, has proven that even in the age of TikTok and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44375147/smart-puppies-are-smarter-than-ai-mark-cubans-surprising-take-on-the-future-of-artificial-intelligence">AI</a>, people still crave the tangible. His company ships replicas of historical documents—complete with authentic-looking paper and calligraphy—straight to subscribers&#8217; mailboxes each month.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/business/money-report/38-year-old-brings-1-million-a-year-snail-mail-company-to-shark-tank-mark-cuban-you-dont-really-need-our-help/4155285/?os=wtmb5utKCxk5refapp6koVwAmR&amp;ref=app#:~:text=History%20By%20Mail%20brought%20in,as%20a%20U.S.%20Senate%20intern.">NBC10 Philadelphia</a> reported that the five-year-old business pulled in more than $1 million in revenue in 2024, and after a recent "Shark Tank" appearance, it had its biggest sales week ever.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Senate Intern to History Entrepreneur</h2>
The idea was born when Siegel interned for the U.S. Senate and visited the Library of Congress. There, he spotted a letter penned by Abraham Lincoln and got inspired to replicate historical artifacts for friends and family. The emotional response he received sparked a business.
He launched History By Mail in January 2019. Early subscribers received documents every two weeks, each tied to major events or iconic figures in American history. But that fast pace quickly became a problem.
"People told us they loved the content, but couldn't keep up," Siegel told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/mark-cuban-shark-tank-company-history-by-mail-doesnt-need-help.html">CNBC "Make It."</a> It takes time to really dig into each letter. Everyone's busy." So, the company pivoted to monthly shipments—one letter, one context page, one manageable dose of history.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-in-the-midwest-why-multifamily-real-estate-is-a-winning-strategy">This investment company boasts a 33.85% internal rate of return (IRR) for its realized projects, allowing accredited investors to earn passive returns and avoid the headaches of being a landlord.</a>
The simplicity worked. Siegel shared on "Shark Tank" that the company hit $1 million in revenue last year, without outside investment—until now. On the April 4 <a href="https://abc.com/episode/2e5d5998-9d1b-40ca-9f19-c8f12802544e/playlist/PL554912060">episode</a> of "Shark Tank," Siegel pitched the company and asked for $250,000 in exchange for 10% equity. His goal: scale the business through better social media marketing.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43084861/mark-cubans-29-million-shark-tank-portfolio-from-200k-in-dude-wipes-to-200m-for-beatbox-beverages-im-killing-it">Mark Cuban</a> praised the concept, telling Siegel, "You get to do what you love, and you're making a killing." Cuban and Lori Greiner passed on investing. Kevin O'Leary and Daniel Lubetzky each offered $250,000 for 20%, while Barbara Corcoran later jumped in to team up with Lubetzky. Together, they offered $125,000 each for a combined 20% stake.
Siegel accepted the offer from Lubetzky on air. However, a History By Mail spokesperson later confirmed to CNBC that only Lubetzky's firm, Camino Partners, finalized the deal. Corcoran was not part of the deal.

According to CNBC, the "Shark Tank effect" was almost instantaneous. Sales hit a record high within an hour of the episode airing, the company confirmed. While no specific revenue numbers were shared, Siegel said it was the company's strongest sales week to date.
"We want to make historical documents more accessible," Siegel said. "They already belong to the public—they're just not in their hands."

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Pope Francis has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44892537/pope-francis-first-south-american-pontiff-and-peoples-pope-dies-at-88">died at the age of 88</a> leaving a vacancy for the position of the global head of the Catholic Church.
Here's a look at the betting odds for the next pope and why sports bettors believe one Major League Baseball player will hit a home run Monday.
Next Pope Odds: Pope Francis was the first South American pope and was known to many as the "People's Pope" thanks to his advocacy for the poor.
Francis had been pope since 2013 when Pope Benedict XVI resigned.
With the death of Pope Francis, the Conclave, a process to select the next pope, will now take place. Conclave typically happens between 15 and 20 days following the death of the pope, which includes a week of mourning.
Unlike presidents and world leaders, the new pope will not be selected by the public, but instead by a group of cardinals who are under the age of 80. The next pope will likely be a cardinal given past history, but all baptized Catholic males are eligible to become a pope.
Betting on the next pope is currently not allowed in the U.S., but prediction markets and European sportsbooks have odds listed after Monday's news of the pope's passing.
Here are the current betting odds for the next pope from prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/markets?_q=pope">Polymarket</a>:
<ul>
<li>Pietro Parolin (Italy): 36%</li>
<li>Luis Antonio Tagle (Philippines): 26%</li>
<li>Peter Erdo (Hungary): 8%</li>
<li>Peter Turkson (Ghana): 7%</li>
<li>Robert Sarah (Guinea): 5%</li>
<li>Matteo Zuppi (Italy): 5%</li>
<li>Raymond Burke (U.S.): 4%</li>
<li>Pierbattista Pizzaballa (Italy): 3%</li>
</ul>
Polymarket also has odds for the continent the winner will be selected from with the current odds:
<ul>
<li>Europe: 62%</li>
<li>Asia: 22%</li>
<li>Africa: 10%</li>
<li>North America: 3%</li>
<li>South America: 1%</li>
<li>Oceania: 1%</li>
</ul>
The prediction market also has odds for when the next pope will be announced, with only a 1% chance that the announcement comes by the end of April. The odds of a new pope announcement by May 9 sit at 59%, with the odds of a new pope revealed by May 31 at 97%.
Dating back to 1963, here are the number of days it took for the next pope to be announced:
<ul>
<li>2013: 13 days</li>
<li>2005: 17 days</li>
<li>1978: 18 days</li>
<li>1978: 20 days</li>
<li>1963: 18 days</li>
</ul>
Polymarket allows users to deposit funds using USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) via the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/matic/usd">MATIC</a>) network or directly from a crypto account with Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). Winning wagers cash out at $1 per contract. Many of the pope markets have a deadline of Dec. 31, 2025, to cash out or they will turn to $0.
At <a href="https://www.oddschecker.com/us/insight/specials/politics/20250413-next-pope-odds-who-will-take-over-in-vatican-after-passing-of-pope-francis">Oddschecker</a>, the current favorites to be the next pope are:
<ul>
<li>Parolin +350, 22% chance</li>
<li>Tagle: +500, 17% chance</li>
<li>Angelo Scola (Italy): +700, 13% chance</li>
<li>Marc Ouellet (Canada): +700, 13% chance</li>
</ul>
Both Polymarket and Oddschecker show Parolin and Tagle as the favorites, while it could be anyone's guess beyond the two frontrunners before the Conclave begins. Tagle could become the first Filipino pope in history and the first pope from Asia in over 1,000 years.
Parolin has been Francis' secretary of state since 2014 and would likely continue his predecessor's style of leading while also bringing an Italian back to the leadership role after three straight non-Italian popes.. At the age of 67, Tagle could be considered young for a pope and could serve in the leadership role for decades.

MLB Pope Death Connection: Bettors on MLB games and player props are paying close attention to Nick Castellanos and the Philadelphia Phillies who battle the New York Mets Monday night at 7:10 p.m. ET.
Those familiar with baseball know that Castellanos has a knack for hitting home runs on days that have major global events or while the announcers are discussing controversial topics.
Castellanos began the day at odds of +750 to hit a home run at DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) and the odds have since fallen to +360 with a large number of bets being placed on the MLB hitter.
At BetMGM, Castellanos is the most bet player to hit a home run by more than 3x, <a href="https://x.com/johnewing/status/1914311584815485184">according </a>to John Ewing.
At ESPN Bet, Castellanos home run is the most bet player prop across MLB, NBA and NHL <a href="https://x.com/ButlerBets/status/1914390554948890805">combined</a>, which includes multiple Monday playoff contests.
Here is a list of <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/phillies/nick-castellanos-home-run-meme-biden-trump-20240722.html">examples </a>of when Castellanos has hit home runs:
<ul>
<li>The day Osama Bin Laden was killed</li>
<li>Right before Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election</li>
<li>While a broadcaster was apologizing for using a homophobic slur</li>
<li>20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks (Sept. 11, 2021)</li>
<li>During a broadcaster's tribute to those who made "the ultimate sacrifice" on Memorial Day</li>
<li>Day of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump</li>
</ul>
As the Philadelphia Inquirer points out, Castellanos was on the injured list after Queen Elizabeth II died, so he was unable to keep his tradition of hitting home runs during global events in place. Time will tell if the pope's death is followed by a home run by Castellanos or if sportsbooks clean up from the large number of bets placed on the player prop.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44723566/charlie-munger-gave-his-no-1-tip-for-a-long-and-happy-life-avoid-crazy-at-all-costs-but-watch-out-crazy-is-way-more-common-than-you-think">Charlie Munger</a> wasn't just Warren Buffett's right-hand man—he was a billionaire in his own right, a master of patience, and a straight shooter when it came to wealth-building.&nbsp;
For decades, Munger dished out life lessons and money advice like a guy who knew the cheat codes. And he did. When you work shoulder to shoulder with the greatest investor of all time, people tend to lean in when you talk.
One of his final gems came on the <a href="https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/charlie-munger">"Acquired" podcast</a> in October 2023. Munger, sharp as ever in his final months, made it sound almost simple:
"The beauty of it is: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39842841/charlie-munger-said-getting-rich-is-harder-than-ever-but-heres-the-beauty-of-it-you-only-have-to">you only have to get rich once</a>."
Don't Miss:

<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
He wasn't talking about luck. He wasn't pitching get-rich-quick nonsense. He was saying: do the work, build the foundation, and once you're there—you can stop grinding and let the compounding do the heavy lifting.
Munger also made it painfully clear that the beginning is the toughest part. Back in the late ‘90s at a Berkshire Hathaway meeting, he put it bluntly:
"The first $100,000 is a b&#x2A;tch, but you gotta do it. I don't care what you have to do—if it means walking everywhere and not eating anything that wasn't purchased with a coupon, find a way to get your hands on $100,000."
That $100,000 is equivalent to about $200,000 today when adjusted for inflation. So yes, the bar's higher now—but the principle still holds.
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
Munger's reasoning? Once you've crossed that first financial threshold, wealth begins to build itself. That initial $100K isn't just a number—it's momentum. It's proof you can delay gratification, make smart choices, and keep money working for you instead of the other way around.
Compound interest becomes your new best friend.
When you invest that first $100,000 wisely, it starts to generate returns. Those returns earn more returns. The snowball effect kicks in, and before you know it, your money's doing more work than you are. But none of that happens if you don't push through that first stretch.
Of course, it's not just about math—it's about mindset.

Here are the psychological roadblocks most people hit before even getting started:
Fear of losing money: The stock market can feel like a casino if you don't know what you're doing. But letting inflation quietly eat away at your savings in a checking account? That's a guaranteed loss.
Doubt: If you don't believe wealth is possible for you, you'll never bother trying. Munger's advice wasn't just for the Ivy League elite. It was for anyone willing to hustle and stick with it.
And while Munger didn't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44854326/warren-buffett-surpasses-bill-gates-with-165-billion-fortune-berkshire-is-a-stable-ship-in-a-sea-of-uncertainty">spell out every step to getting rich</a>, he left behind a trail of practical wisdom: live below your means, invest early, and don't get distracted by noise.
The goal isn't to get rich overnight. It's to get there once—and let that be enough.

2024年第2四半期の大部分の大麻企業の財務業績が出揃い、その結果から興味深いトレンドが浮かび上がってきた。その1つが、米国のマルチステート・オペレーター（MSO）が供給チェーンにおけるコストと効率を改善しているという点だ。
MSOが風雲急を告げてきたことは驚くべきことではなく、かつその回復力が示されてきたのも理解できる。これまで低い卸売価格という圧力に直面し、小売業界での競争の激化と追加の課税に面してきたが、これらの大半の企業は、そのコスト業績を維持し、あるいはいくつかのケースでは改善することに成功してきたのだから。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">財務詳細</h3>
バリディアン（Viridian）の<a href="https://dealtracker.viridianca.com/chart-of-the-week/">データ分析</a>によると、トップ8のMSOのうち6社の売上高に対する売上原価（COGS）の割合が昨年と比較して減少した。この削減は、これらの企業が課題に直面しながらも生産コストをより効率的に管理していることを示している。比較の対象には、Green Thumb Industries（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>）、Curaleaf（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>）、Trulieve（CSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRUL#CSE">TRUL</a>）（OTCQX：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>）、Verano（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRNOF#OTC">VRNOF</a>）、Cresco Labs（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRLBF#OTC">CRLBF</a>）、Terrascend（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRSSF#OTC">TRSSF</a>）、AYR（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYRWF#OTC">AYRWF</a>）およびAscend Wellness（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAWH#OTC">AAWH</a>） が含まれる。ただし、AYRとTerrAscendはCOGSが増加した。これは、彼らが他の企業よりもより大きな運用上の課題に直面していることを示している。
さらに、このうちの6社は、2024年第2四半期における2023年第2四半期との比較で、売上高に対する売上、一般および管理（SG&amp;A）費用が低下した。この傾向は、これらの企業が自分たちのベルトを締め直し、支出についてより規律あるものになり、供給チェーンにおいて効率的に動くことを反映している。売上費用の削減は市場状況を反映したものとみられる。オハイオ州とニューヨーク州に新しいマーケットが拡大するにつれて、これらの企業は売上の増加を期待しており、それによって年の後半にはさらに財務業績が向上するはずだ。

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">MSOと大麻業界における役割の理解</h3>
MSOは複数の州にわたる栽培、加工、小売施設を管理する会社であり、米国の独自の法的枠組みのために同国の大麻市場においてさらに重要なプレーヤーになっている。
大麻が連邦レベルで未だに違法とされているため、ビジネスは州ごとの規制、法則および<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40176980/state-by-state-price-of-weed-across-the-u-s-in-august-2024">価格</a>といった複雑な規制網を航行せねばならない。MSOはこのような課題を処理するために設計されており、それによって彼らは異なる法律を守りながら、州をまたいでの業務展開を可能にしているのだ。この戦略により、MSOは市場拡大に伴う経済規模の利点を活かし、コストを引き下げ、効率を向上させることができる。ただし、州ごとの規制を遵守することが重要であるため、それによって大きなコストが生じてしまう。
最新のQ2の報告書は、大半のMSOがコスト削減に焦点を当てていることを示唆している。大麻の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39892433/dea-rescheduling-of-cannabis-could-create-over-50-000-jobs-industry-group-notes-in-public-commen">スケジューリングの可能性</a>があれば、これは全体の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38885460/finally-tax-refunds-these-cannabis-companies-will-get-the-most-money-back-if-rescheduling-happen">税制負担を削減する</a>ことによって、それによってそれらの財務業績を大幅に向上させる可能性がある。

令は効率的な運営者の市場占有率の増加と持続可能なプラットフォーム構築を輝かせるだろう。第２四半期の収益を見越して、Zuanic &amp; Associatesのシニアアナリスト、Pablo Zuanic氏は、大麻市場傾向について概要を提供した。
Zuanic氏は、連邦の改革期待、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39560744/irs-confirms-no-federal-tax-deductions-for-marijuana-businesses-until-rescheduling-is-finalized"> 280Eに関するIRSのニュース</a>、借り換えの可能性、M&amp;A戦略が感情の主要な推進要因となると強調している。

会議の概要

ペンシルベニア州が最近承認した予算には、大麻企業であるJushi Holdings（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JUSHF#OTC">JUSHF</a>）およびTILT Holdings（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TILT#OTC">TILT</a>）のような企業にとって大きな打撃を与える、大麻の娯楽利用の合法化が除外されています。
ジョシュ・シャピロ知事が支援したこの動きに対し、民主党と共和党に分かれた州議会からは<a href="https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2024/06/pennsylvania-marijuana-recreational-legislature-passage-budget-josh-shapiro/">反対</a>が出てしまいました。規制に関する合意については、民主党が支配する州下院で合意に達しようとする一方で、大麻の娯楽利用の合法化に反対する共和党が支配する州上院は合意に達しませんでした。
新しい<a href="https://www.pa.gov/en/governor/newsroom/2024-press-releases/governor-shapiro-signs-bipartisan-2024-25-budget--investing-in-e.html">予算</a>は幅広い経済的および社会的投資に焦点を当てていますが、娯楽利用の大麻についての規定は除外しています。主な投資先は、K-12公共教育のための11.1億ドル、企業の誘致のためのサイト開発のための5億ドル、および家庭およびコミュニティを対象としたサービスのための3億5480万ドルが含まれています。
<h3>遅れの中でのJushiとTILTの戦略的動向</h3>
Jushi Holdings（OTCQB）とTILT Holdings（OTCQB）は、ペンシルベニア州での医療大麻の販売から娯楽大麻の販売への移行によって成長が促進されると予測し、大規模な投資を行っています。
Jushiの現在の企業価値は過小評価されていると見なされ、規制の透明性が与えられれば大きな上昇余力があるということを示唆しています。 Zuanic＆AssociatesのシニアアナリストPablo Zuanic氏は、「ペンシルベニア州が娯楽大麻の販売を開始すれば、Jushiの時価総額は250％以上急増する可能性がある」と述べています。
一方、TILT HoldingsはStandard Farmsを運営しており、ペンシルベニア州での事業拡大のために1050万ドルの資金調達契約を締結しました。 これらの資金は、保健省（Department of Health）の許可を受けたディスペンサリーの構築に充てられます。
「ペンシルベニア州が、TILTのStandard Farmsのような小規模な独立系栽培業者がこの新興の市場で競争できるように、我々は賞賛します」と、TILTのCEOであるTim Conder氏は<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38741310/tilt-holdings-bold-financing-move-how-this-cannabis-companys-escalating-interest-rates-impact-it">述べています</a>。
しかし予想される娯楽市場がないとすると、6か月後にかなり高騰する拡大ローンの金利がTILTの財務モデルに圧迫を与える可能性があります。
<h3>ティム・シーモア氏は州による大麻の合法化をどう見るか</h3>
CNBS Amplify Seymour Cannabis ETF（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNBS#NYSE">CNBS</a>）のポートフォリオマネージャーであるTim Seymour氏は、連邦政府の変化よりも州レベルでの大麻の合法化の重要性を強調しました。 「大麻セクターにおける実際の経済は、成長している消費者基盤向けに積極的に製品を販売している企業によって推進されています」と、Seymour氏は<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39344068/not-dc-but-the-states-tim-seymour-discusses-how-red-states-could-catalyze-cannabis-">語りました</a>。
彼は、ペンシルベニア州のような市場が、大麻業界の成長を促進していると指摘し、州レベルの決定が大麻産業の未来にとって重要であることを示唆しています。

<h3>ペンシルベニア州における大麻企業</h3>
JushiとTILTの両社は、ペンシルベニア州の予算における娯楽利用の大麻の除外がもたらす不確実な規制環境に適応しなければなりません。
予算から娯楽利用の大麻が除外されたことは、分かれた州議会での合意形成の複雑さを象徴しています。Seymour氏が指摘したように、「州レベルの法制化は、実際の産業の成長につながる製品を消費者の手に届けるものです」。
Zuanic氏は、「<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/02/37242307/jushi-holdings-revs-up-unleashing-torque-in-pennsylvania-and-virginias-cannabis-expansion">娯楽利用の大麻が合法化されない</a>場合、Jushi Holdingsは医療大麻市場に制限されることで成長が制約されるだろう」と述べたように、Jushiもまた州の不確実な規制環境に適応しなければなりません。
販売の勢いと利益率の面で競合他社に遅れをとっているにも関わらず、Jushiは業務を合理化し、EBITDAマージンを大幅に改善しています。 Zuanic氏は、12月2024年に支払期日を迎える約6,500万ドルの借金の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39470114/debt-deadline-looms-how-cannabis-companies-financial-health-could-impact-your-portf">返済の取り組み</a>に加え、Jushiの財務状況は管理可能であると考えています。
<h3>予算承認後の市場動向</h3>
2024年7月15日（月）、午後12時過ぎ、Jushi Holdings（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JUSHF#NYSE">JUSHF</a>）の株価は0.592ドルで、2.8449％下落し、投資家の信頼が低下していることを示しています。取引高は8339株で、市場活動は抑制的であることを示しています。時価総額は約1億1600万ドルであり、大麻セクターの中では比較的小さな企業です。
TILT Holdingsの株価は0.02211ドルで、10.55％上昇し、これは投資家からのポジティブな評価か、または最近のニュースへの反応であると考えられます。株価は6,150で、これは中規模の取引高で、時価総額は約850万ドルであり、大麻セクターの中でマイクロキャップ株式として位置づけられています。
これらは、ペンシルベニア州で<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pennsylvania-cannabis">運営している最も重要なMSO</a>の一部です。

最近、ビーコン・証券がフロリダ州の大麻産業に関する最新のレポートで、選挙への寄付、政治的支援、市場競争、財務予測の情報が提供された。
<h3>リバタリアン党の支援</h3>
レポートによると、フロリダ州のリバタリアン党は成人のマリファナ使用を合法化する措置を公式に支持したという。この支持は、党が大麻の使用に関して個人の自由を主張しているため、選挙民の立場に変化を示す可能性がある。様々な政党からの増加する政治的支援は、大麻の合法化に対する受け入れが増していることを示している。
<h3>麻業界の政治的寄付</h3>
『CBSニュース』によると、フロリダの共和党にヘンプの幹部が500万ドルの寄付を約束したと報じられた。この出来事が起きたのは、デサンティス州知事がヘンプ産業に悪影響を及ぼすことになる法案を拒否した後のことだ。
レポートによると、この拒否は戦略的な動きと見なされ、グループSave Florida HempからのWhatsAppメッセージでは、11月の投票用紙に大麻の成人利用合法化に反対するデサンティス州知事とヘンプ業界が<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39760907/ron-desantis-floridas-gop-and-hemp-industry-pile-on-to-defeat-marijuana-legalization">一致した</a>と示唆しているという。

<h3>財務業績</h3>
Verano HoldingsとCuraleaf Holdingsは8月7日に第2四半期の業績を発表する見込みであり、Veranoは売上高と調整後EBITDAが予測の低い方になると予測している。

ビーコン・証券　リバタリアン党の支援を公式に支持

大手マリファナ企業が米国政府に対し、カンナビスの州内活動に対する禁止令の執行を阻止しようとした<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38259298/cannabis-companies-clash-with-justice-dept-over-fed-prohibition-in-major-trial-seek-oral-argumen">訴訟が却下された</a>。
月曜日、米国マサチューセッツ地区連邦地裁ウェスタン部門は、現行のカンナビスのスケジューリングを再評価するには重要な理由があるにもかかわらず、最高裁判例が連邦規制（麻薬取締法）を変更する地裁の権限を制限しているため、大麻の規制に関する司法書士の動議を却下したとビジネス法誌Bloomberg Lawは伝えている。
関連リンク：スターバックス、大麻販売業者を訴追&lt;/p
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">裁判所の判決</h3>
この件を担当したマサチューセッツ地区連邦地裁ウェスタン部門の判事は、大統領バラク・オバマによって任命されたマーク・G・マストロイアン氏だった。彼は司法省の訴えが原告の立証を上回るとして、この訴訟の却下を命じた。
「要求された救済措置は最高裁判所の判例と矛盾しており、したがってこの法廷にはその救済を認める権限はない」と彼は述べた。
そして、原告が「商業条項の幅広い解釈を無視するための法的根拠を提供していない」と判事は付け加えた。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">事件の背景</h3>
この訴訟「カンナ・プロビジョン対ガーランド」を率いたのは、多州運営企業を率いるVerano Holdings Corp.（OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRNOF#OTC">VRNOF</a>）（以下「ベラーノ」）と、マサチューセッツ州に拠点を置く大麻事業「カンナ・プロビジョン」、Wiseacre Farm、Treevit CEOGyasi Sellers（以下「セラーズ」）。
彼らは、麻薬取締法の連邦規制が合理的な根拠を持っていないと主張した。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">議論とその影響</h3>
この事件の中心にあったのは、州内のカンナビスの活動とそれが州を越えた商業に与える影響に関する議論だ。司法省は、州が規制する大麻産業は外州からの観光客を引き付け、それによって州間通商に影響を与えると主張している。
4月の提出において、「マサチューセッツ州における規制された大麻産業が、大麻観光という異なる種類の州間通商を推進すると結論づけることは合理的である」と司法省は述べている。
一方、原告たちは、州内の規制された活動に関して州の権限が影響を受けることはない、と主張した。
地裁は、訴訟を起こす立場にあると認めながらも、連邦規則の州間通商に影響を及ぼす州内活動を規制する最高裁判所の判決を引き合いに出し、最終的には政府側を支持した。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">今後の展開</h3>
裁判所はこの訴訟を却下したが、マストロイアン判事は原告たちが最高裁判所に関心を持つか、もしくは麻薬取締法の再分類や大麻の取り扱いからの撤退に関心を持つ可能性があると述べている。
「原告たちは、大麻が誤って分類されていると主張しており、提訴時点で、本法廷では大麻の安全性とその治療効果に関する彼らの主張を真実と受け入れる」と裁判所は承認した。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">このより広い文脈</h3>
この判決が出されたのは、大麻のスケジューリングを麻薬取締法の第I表から第III表に再調整するという、司法省が検討している動きがある中でのことである。この動きに関しては、司法省の弁護士たちが、最高裁判所の判例を理性的な根拠として引用している。
マストロイアン判事は、連邦法の下で大麻が依然として第I表の麻薬であることを強調し、ほぼ全ての大麻関連の活動が連邦犯罪になると指摘した。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">業界の反応</h3>
この訴訟を担当した訴訟弁護士デイヴィッド・ボイズ氏は、司法省や前副大統領アル・ゴア氏などの有名な顧客を代理してきた。
この判決について振り返り、「上訴において、我々は引き続き、連邦政府が州が規制する大麻の禁止に対して合理的な根拠を持っていないとの立場を主張し続けるだろう」という弁護士ジョシュ・シラー氏のコメントがあった。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">政治的背景</h3>
大麻業界が法的な挑戦に直面する中、バイデン政権はその大麻政策を、前大統領のドナルド・トランプ氏と対照的なものとして強調しようとしている。
バイデンの大統領選キャンペーンは最近、大統領の恩赦の活動を促進するために、大麻が「かつて私たちが信じていたほど危険ではない」という視点を強調した広告を<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39534238/biden-bashes-trumps-failed-approach-on-cannabis-new-campaign-page-says-marijuana-not-as-dangerou">公開した</a>。

米国政府への訴訟を却下　大麻合法化を巡り

メリーランド州の大麻市場が成熟するにつれ、大麻の娯楽販売開始に備えるオハイオ州などの州にとって、これは有益な知見を提供する。 Zuanic＆AssociatesのPablo Zuanic氏は、メリーランドの安定性、競争風景、および市場動向を他の州の参考モデルとして挙げている。メリーランドの経験を理解することで、オハイオ州は大麻産業の発展における課題と機会を予測することができるだろう。
オハイオとメリーランドは、両方とも市場構造と規制環境が似ており、Zuanic氏によれば、この比較はオハイオ州にとって有益だという。 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35991290/analyst-inside-look-trends-and-opportunities-in-ohios-emerging-recreational-cannabi">メリーランド</a>同様、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35991290/analyst-inside-look-trends-and-opportunities-in-ohios-emerging-recreational-cannabi">オハイオ</a>も、医療用からリクリエーション用の市場への移行を果たし、現在のオペレーターが先行している。さらに、両州とも、それぞれが大麻プログラムを確立した周辺地域からの競争に直面している。
報告書には、「メリーランド州と<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/illinois-cannabis">イリノイ</a>州はともに、医療用大麻からの娯楽用販売への順調な移行を経て、平均を上回る経済状況を享受している。特筆すべきことは、先行してリクリエーション販売に参入したオペレーターがいることで、ニューヨークとは異なり、彼らはこの先行スタートを活かしている。私たちは、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ohio-cannabis">オハイオ</a>でも同様の変化が見られることを予想している」と述べられている。
これらの共通の特徴により、メリーランドの経験はオハイオ州にとって関連性のある教育的モデルとなり、オハイオ州が市場開発における潜在的な課題を予測し、それに対処する手助けをすることができる。
<h3>安定した販売と市場動向</h3>
2023年7月の娯楽販売開始以来、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/maryland-cannabis">メリーランド</a>の総大麻販売は、2024年4月までに2億7300万ドルの1％のみ成長し、頭打ちしている。
Zuanic氏は、この要因について、高価な大麻、静的な店舗数、およびニュージャージーやペンシルバニアなどの周辺州からの競合があると説明している。 「大半の東部州よりも価格帯が高いことが問題になるかもしれない」
メリーランド州のフラワー価格は、2024年第2四半期時点で1グラムあたり8.76ドルと高い位置にあり、イリノイ（1グラムあたり8.11ドル）やマサチューセッツ（1グラムあたり5.12ドル）よりも大幅に高い価格である。
<h3>市場シェアとブランドのパフォーマンス</h3>
メリーランド州では、公開されているマルチステートオペレータ（MSO）が約40％の安定した<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/39076254/top-ohio-cannabis-companies-analyst-look-at-stocks-with-potential-market-cap-gains">市場シェア</a>を保有している。Green Thumb（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>）は12.5％のシェア率で最も多く、その次がCuraleaf（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>）（8.4％）、Verano（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRNOF#OTC">VRNOF</a>）（7％）が続く。
特筆すべきことは、非公開のMSOと地域オペレータも重要な役割を果たしているということだ。 「MDの場合、MSOは約40％のブランド市場シェアを維持し、小売店の約3分の1を所有しています」とZuanic氏は説明する。
上位のブランドの間での市場シェアは競争が激しく、フラワーカテゴリーのトップ3ブランドは合計23％のシェアを持っている。フェイプカテゴリーでは、CuraleafのSelectを含むリーディングブランドが39％のシェアを占めている。
<h3>価格動向と将来の見通し</h3>
メリーランド州の大麻価格は、リクリエーション販売の最初のうちにわずかな下落を経験した。2013年第3四半期以降、フラワーの価格は7〜8％、ベイプの価格は14％下落している。 それにもかかわらず、価格は他の東部州よりも高いままだ。 「リクリエーション販売に移行したことで、2023年第3四半期時点でベイプの価格がクォーターオンクォーターで16％上昇し、それ以降14％下落しています」とZuanic氏は語る。
ペンシルバニア州、デラウェア州などの周辺州がリクリエーション大麻の合法化を検討することで、メリーランド州の大麻価格にはさらなる圧力がかかる可能性がある。 「PA、DE、DCがリクリエーション大麻に転換する可能性があるのであれば、将来的にはMDにも価格圧力がかかると予想されます」とZuanic氏は予測している。

Market Summary

大麻市場から学べること　投資家が釈明

フロリダ州の知事であるロン・デサンティス（共和党）は、2024年11月の選挙でフロリダ州民が投票する大麻合法化修正案について、別の非難を浴びせた。今回は、同氏がK-12スクールの近くで大麻を吸うと考えられる人々を非難している。
「小学校のような教育機関の近くで大麻を吸う人が横切ることを認可してもいいのか？」とデサンティス氏は水曜日、マイアミで行われたイベントで記者団に語った。「フロリダ州にとってそれがいい結果を生むと思わない」と非難した。
この提案は、Amendment 3として知られており、フロリダ最高裁判所によって最近<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d">11月の投票用紙に進むことが承認された</a>。この修正案は、Smart and Safe Floridaによって組織され、その実、州がタバコの公共での消費を規制しているように、立法府に対して「屋外での大麻使用と公共での大麻使用を制限するための権限」を与えるものだ。
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">それでもデサンティス知事は批判を続ける</h1>
「この修正法はこれまでで最も幅広いものであり、フロリダ州の全地域で公然での大麻使用を許可することと同意義と捉えている」とデサンティス氏は述べた（<a href="https://floridapolitics.com/archives/670027-gov-desantis-slams-marijuana-amendment-again-warns-of-toking-up-near-schools/">Florida Politicsの報告</a>）。「これは家族にとって良いことではないし、老人にとっても良いことではない。」
そして、デサンティス知事は、自身が語っている間に数マイル先のハリウッド、フロリダの<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a> で開催されたイベントで、フロリダ州の修正案を支持する大麻企業を激怒させた。
「この法案のために数千万ドルを使用する意義を理解できない。大麻企業はこの修正案によって莫大な利益を上げることができる。」と非難的な言葉を口にした。
Trulieve Cannabis Corp（OTCQX：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>）をはじめとする大麻会社は名前は出ていないが、これまでに少なくとも1,500万ドル以上の資金を提供して修正案を支持している。この提案に資金を提供している会社は、Verano Holdings Corp（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vrnof#OTCQX">VRNOF</a>）、Curaleaf Holdings Inc（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#OTCQX">CURLF</a>）、AYR Wellness Inc（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ayrwf#OTCQX">AYRWF</a>）、Cresco Labs Inc。（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crlbf#OTCQX">CRLBF</a>）、Green Thumb Industries Inc（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gtbif#OTCQX">GTBIF</a>） 、INSA, Inc。含まれている。
