10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Lucid Group, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) has started taking orders for its electric Gravity SUV <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41617327/lucid-to-start-taking-orders-for-gravity-suv-next-week-but-only-for-premium-variant-priced-at-about" rel="noreferrer noopener">as planned</a>.
The Gravity will likely rival&nbsp;Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model X SUV. The company launched the configuration tool for its new Lucid Gravity Grand Touring, allowing customers to customize and order the vehicle on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41807763/lucid-gravity-now-available-to-configure-and-order-on-the-lucid-motors-website" rel="noreferrer noopener">its website</a>.

Production for this advanced electric SUV model is slated to begin at the end of 2024.
The Lucid Gravity SUV combines luxury, spacious design, and range into a unique driving experience.
Lucid Gravity offers the space and utility of a full-size SUV within a midsize frame. This design accommodates up to seven passengers, blending functionality and luxury with a compact exterior that enhances maneuverability, the company said in the press release.
The Gravity lineup includes the Grand Touring variant, priced at $94,900, and the Touring model, expected to launch in late 2025, priced at $79,900.
The Grand Touring version delivers 828 horsepower and an impressive projected range of over 440 miles per charge.
The SUV includes Lucid's DreamDrive driver-assistance system as standard, with upgrades available through DreamDrive Premium and DreamDrive Pro for enhanced features like hands-free driving, adaptive lane change, and traffic light recognition.
The Gravity launch is critical for Lucid's future. Although the company has boosted Air sedan sales recently by lowering prices and introducing a more affordable trim, its sales remain far below projections made during its $4 billion reverse merger in 2021, TechCrunch <a target="_blank" href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/07/lucid-motors-starts-taking-orders-for-its-existential-gravity-suv/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
To support its financial reserves, Lucid has turned repeatedly to its majority owner, Saudi Arabia, for additional funding this year.
One of Lucid's main challenges is affordability; its vehicles exceed the federal EV tax credit price cap at the point of sale.
However, a $7,500 tax credit applies to leases—a benefit that depends on the federal tax credit remaining in place when President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year.
Lucid Group stock plunged over 45% year-to-date.
Price Action: LCID stock is up 3.99% at $2.21 at the last check Thursday.

United Parks &amp; Resorts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRKS#NYSE">PRKS</a>) reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41801451/united-parks-resorts-inc-reports-third-quarter-and-first-nine-months-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter 2024</a> revenue of $545.901 million, a slight decline of 0.4% year-over-year, missing the consensus estimate of $550.473 million.
Third quarter EPS was $2.08 (+8.3% year over year), below the analyst consensus of $2.22.
Attendance reached 7 million guests. That&#8217;s down by about 100,000 or 1.4% compared to Q3 2023. The attendance decline was mainly due to Hurricanes Debby and Helene, during peak periods.
Total revenue per capita rose 1.0% to $77.66 from Q3 2023. Admission per capita increased 0.5% to $42.24, while in-park spending per capita grew 1.6% to a record $35.42.
&#8220;The combined impact of the calendar shift and the meaningfully worse weather was approximately 320,000 guests, adjusting for these impacts, attendance would have increased approximately 3% compared to the prior year quarter, as we continue to see strong demand for our parks during normalized operating conditions and we are growing total revenue per capita,&#8221; United Parks CEO Marc Swanson said.
The company delivered record in-park per capita spending during the quarter, Swanson added, citing growth for 17 of the last 18 quarters of growth
Adjusted EBITDA was $258.4 million for the quarter, a decline of 3% YoY, and the margin contracted 126 bps to 47.3%.
In Q3, the company repurchased 4.1 million shares for $211.7 million. Some $74.9 million remains in the program as of Sept. 30. An additional 0.8 million shares were repurchased for $37.7 million by November 6.
The operating cash flow for the third quarter was $122.998 million, down from $163.556 million a year ago. Free cash flow stood at $67.605 million.
Looking ahead to 2025, the company reports strong forward demand, with ticket sales, group bookings, and Discovery Cove bookings showing double-digit growth over the last year. The recently launched premium pass program, featuring enhanced benefits, has driven sales up over 10% since its debut. Year-to-date results continue to highlight the resilience of the business model and the rising demand for the parks&#8217; unique offerings.
Total liquidity stood at $759 million with a net leverage ratio of 2.98x as of Sept. 30. In the quarter, the company expanded its credit facility from $390 million to $700 million, reducing costs by 50 basis points.
Price Action: PRKS shares are trading higher by 2.08% to $58.3 at last check Thursday.

United Parks Q3 Revenue Falls Short Due To Hurricane Impact, But Future Demand And Sales Show Resilience

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41757209/if-you-do-this-prepare-to-spend-thousands-on-non-necessities-says-suze-orman-her-solution-learn-">Suze Orman</a>, a trusted personal finance expert worldwide, emphasizes that individuals must be vigilant about their benefit selections during the annual open enrollment period.&nbsp;
With health plan premiums expected to increase, Orman advises closely reviewing coverage options. High-deductible health plans (HDHPs), which come with lower premiums, might be worth considering for those with robust emergency funds. However, she cautions, "Never opt for an HDHP if you lack the savings to cover the deductible."&nbsp;

</ul>
An HDHP can be paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA), a powerful tool that offers a "triple tax break" – contributions grow tax-free, are tax-deductible and withdrawals for medical expenses are untaxed. Plus, some employers match contributions, adding an extra boost to savings.
Beyond health coverage, Medicaid expansions in 40 states have broadened access for low-income families, but there's ongoing debate about how financially sustainable this will be in the long run.&nbsp;
Policy experts, like those at the Kaiser Family Foundation, highlight the importance of keeping up with changes in Medicaid eligibility and benefits as states adjust policies. These expansions, though beneficial, come with a need for beneficiaries to stay informed on any premium adjustments or updates in coverage tiers.

For those with dependents, relying solely on employer-provided life insurance is a mistake, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/10/41553671/the-wealthy-follow-suze-ormans-golden-rule-for-getting-rich-she-says-theres-1">according to Orman</a>. Employer policies typically cover only one to two years of salary – far from adequate. "My advice," she stresses, "is to aim for a life insurance policy that's 20 to 25 times your current salary."&nbsp;
This recommendation is particularly vital for families with young children or a stay-at-home parent who would otherwise face hefty costs for child care if the caregiver passes away unexpectedly.

Orman also points out the importance of emergency savings, noting that many employers now offer programs to help workers build a financial safety net. Some companies even match contributions to these savings plans, providing a solid foundation against life's inevitable surprises.&nbsp;
If one's employer doesn't offer this benefit, Orman suggests asking HR about "split deposit" options, allowing a portion of each paycheck to be automatically directed into a savings account. For those who need more support, she recommends SecureSave, a tool she cofounded to give employees a straightforward way to build emergency savings.

Retirement planning is another area Orman urges individuals not to overlook. She recommends saving at least 15% of one's income for retirement, combining personal and employer contributions. Increasing the contribution rate can make a significant difference over time for employees not yet at that target.
Orman's advice comes when economic uncertainty also impacts food security, with organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization raising concerns about food affordability worldwide. Programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) have become essential to many households.&nbsp;
