<p><strong>Brunswick Corporation</strong>&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bc#NYSE">BC</a>) Freedom Boat Club, the world&#39;s largest boat club network, acquired the South Florida franchise operations and territory. The acquisition adds 13 corporate locations from Pompano Beach to Stuart, FL, accelerating the company&#39;s growth and expanding its corporate presence along the Southeast Florida coastline. Brunswick&#39;s shares moved up 4.4% during trading hours on Sept. 13, 2024.</p>
<p>Situated near Freedom Boat Club&#39;s existing corporate locations in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Islamorada, the acquisition enhances its operational efficiencies. This is one of the company&#39;s largest additions, covering Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin counties. It intends to build on the strong foundation laid by the former franchise owner while continuing to provide outstanding experiences for its members.</p>
<p>The addition of the South Florida franchise offers a key opportunity to accelerate growth in a year-round boating region while also leveraging synergies with Brunswick&#39;s family of brands.</p>
<h2>FBC Expansion Drives BC&#39;s Growth</h2>
<p>Brunswick Corporation leads the marine recreation industry with innovations that enhance water experiences. The company&#39;s Boat segment includes the Brunswick Boat Group, which manufactures and distributes recreational boats, and Business Acceleration. Brunswick significantly expanded FBC since acquiring it in 2019, growing from 170 to more than 415 locations across North America, Europe and Australia.</p>
<p>During second-quarter 2024, the Boat segment delivered steady results despite planned reductions in wholesale orders. Channel partners remain cautious with their orders, but the impact of modest model-year pricing and share gains offset some of the softness.</p>
<p>FBC contributed about 10% to the Boat segment&#39;s revenues and experienced steady membership growth despite macroeconomic uncertainty. The club also expanded with two new flagship locations in Denmark and the UK and recorded 200,000 member trips during the quarter. Discounting and promotional activities remain high, especially for prior model year products, to boost retail sales. Investments in digital platforms continue to benefit the company, with nearly 40% of FBC membership sales in the quarter being digitally assisted.</p>
<h2>BC&#39;s Price Performance</h2>

<p>Image Source: Zacks Investment Research</p>
<p>Shares of Brunswick have increased 5.9% in the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s 6.3% rise. The company is likely to benefit from new model introductions and marketing and promotional activities. Also, the emphasis on expansion bodes well.</p>
<p>Continued slower retail sales and higher discounting and carrying costs are a concern. Owing to these headwinds, the company expects full-year unit retail sales to decline by approximately 10% compared with the original forecast of flat sales.</p>

<p>Accenture PLC price | Accenture PLC Quote</p>
<p>Let&#39;s look at the factors in detail that make the stock an attractive pick.</p>
</div>
<h2>Technology-Based Growth Strategy</h2>
<p>Accenture&#39;s broader growth strategy focuses on delivering comprehensive value to its stakeholders through technology. By focusing on building a digital core with cloud, data, and AI technologies and investing in talent, Accenture is well-positioned for long-term success. We believe this strategy positions Accenture as a trusted partner for its clients and keeps the stock attractive.</p>

<p>Accenture had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $5.5 billion at the end of third-quarter fiscal 2024 against a total long-term debt of just $69 million. Cash provided by operating activities was $1 billion and free cash flow came in at $1 million. Accenture generates&nbsp;significant cash from operations&nbsp;and also holds a huge cash balance, management has the flexibility to pursue growth in any areas that exhibit true potential.</p>
<p>This flexibility and technological prowess allowed it to pursue acquisition opportunities in different markets. The company spent $2.5 billion across 25 acquisitions in fiscal 2023.&nbsp;A disciplined acquisition strategy&nbsp;helps ACN channel its business in high-growth areas, adding skills and capabilities, and deepening industry and functional expertise.</p>
<h2>Dividend Spinner</h2>
<p>Commitment to shareholder returns makes ACN a reliable way for investors to compound wealth over the long term. The company paid $2.8 billion, $2.5 billion and $2.2 billion in dividends in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We are expecting steady income growth, which will translate to steady cash flow, enabling it to pay out stable dividends.</p>

<p>BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMRN#NASDAQ">BMRN</a>) stock is trading lower in reaction to the data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/22/11/29694519/ascendis-pharmas-program-hits-primary-goal-in-children-with-short-limbed-dwarfism" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from rival Ascendis</a>.</p>

<p><strong>William Blair</strong> notes that the efficacy of TransCon CNP is comparable to BioMarin&#8217;s Voxzogo (vosoritide), which is approved for promoting linear growth in children with achondroplasia and open growth plates (epiphyses).</p>
<p>Early data indicates that TransCon CNP could challenge Voxzogo&#8217;s market share by late 2025. Moreover, Ascendis&#8217; TransCon CNP stands out due to its once-weekly dosing schedule and potentially improved safety profile, making it a more appealing option.</p>
<p>The analyst adds, &#8220;We think Ascendis&#8217;s freedom to operate is still unclear given it may be at risk of infringing on BioMarin&#8217;s long-acting CNP patent portfolio, which could restrict Ascendis&#8217; launch or at the very least result in royalties to BioMarin.&#8221;</p>
<p>The William Blair analyst emphasizes BioMarin&#8217;s first-mover advantage, noting that the company is actively conducting additional trials to broaden Voxzogo&#8217;s label.</p>
<p>BioMarin also plans to submit an investigational new drug application for its long-acting CNP in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, competition from TransCon CNP is expected to place continued pressure on Voxzogo&#8217;s market share, which may weigh on the stock in the near future.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, BioMarin&nbsp;announced its&nbsp;plans to land $4 billion in&nbsp;revenue by 2027 and target an adjusted operating margin of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40731810/biomarin-restructures-outlines-roadmap-to-4b-revenues-by-2027" rel="noreferrer noopener">low-to-mid 40</a> percent.</p>

Despite Being First Mover, BioMarin's Voxzogo For Dwarfism To Face Pressure From Ascendis' Candidate In Near Term

<p>The semiconductor and data center sectors are fast-paced and volatile, with companies like <strong>NVIDIA&nbsp;</strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)<strong>&nbsp;</strong>and <strong>Advanced Micro Devices</strong><strong> </strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amd#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) leading the way. However, a giant is quietly revolutionizing the sector and becoming a force to be reckoned with in the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. While many may overlook this diversified technology company, <strong>Broadcom Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) is growing its AI capabilities and making strategic investments that generate positive investor sentiment.</p>
<h2><strong>A Multifaceted Technological Powerhouse</strong></h2>
<p>Broadcom is a technology company with a vast portfolio spanning 26 divisions, offering a diverse range of semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions. Its offerings include network connectivity chips for data centers, server storage, broadband and wireless products, cybersecurity, and cloud computing solutions. This broad reach gives Broadcom a distinct advantage, enabling it to capitalize on emerging trends across multiple technology sub-sectors.</p>
<p>The semiconductor industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the rise of AI. Companies like NVIDIA and AMD have emerged as industry leaders, attracting significant investment and attention. However, Broadcom offers a more stable and less volatile approach with its diversified portfolio. It provides a more balanced investment opportunity that is less dependent on the volatile swings of a single market.</p>
<h2><strong>Broadcom&#39;s AI Strategy: A Quiet Revolution</strong></h2>
<p>Broadcom&#39;s strategy has been to invest steadily in AI chips and data center infrastructure. This includes developing high-performance networking chips and storage solutions specifically designed to support the demands of AI workloads. This strategic focus is crucial for the company&#39;s future growth as the need for advanced chips and infrastructure to power AI applications continues to increase.</p>
<p>A key milestone in Broadcom&#39;s AI strategy was its November 2023 acquisition of VMware, a leading cloud architecture software company. This acquisition significantly bolstered Broadcom&#39;s AI software and cloud infrastructure position, giving it a more comprehensive and integrated offering.</p>
<p>VMware&#39;s expertise in system virtualization and cloud management perfectly complements Broadcom&#39;s hardware capabilities, enabling the company to offer end-to-end solutions for data centers, cloud computing, virtual systems, servers, and AI deployments.</p>
<p>The integration of VMware into Broadcom&#39;s operations has been a complex process that has presented challenges and opportunities. However, the company has shown confidence that the acquisition will drive significant growth and enhance its competitiveness in the AI market.</p>
<h2><strong>The Latest Earnings Report: A Glimpse Into Growth</strong></h2>
<p>Broadcom&#39;s earnings report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 provided valuable insights into the company&#39;s performance and effectiveness in its AI strategy. The company reported impressive revenue growth of 47% year over year, reaching $13.1 billion.</p>
<p>While this growth is impressive, it&#39;s important to note that a significant portion is attributed to VMware&#39;s acquisition, strengthening the infrastructure software segment. Excluding VMware, Broadcom&#39;s organic revenue growth was only 4% year-over-year. This suggests that the company&#39;s core business, specifically its semiconductor solutions segment, is not yet seeing the same level of growth as its AI-focused peers.</p>
<p>However, it is crucial to remember that Broadcom&#39;s semiconductor solutions segment, primarily focused on non-AI applications, is starting to show signs of stabilization. Broadcom&#39;s CEO, Hock Tan, has stated that &quot;non-AI semiconductor revenue has stabilized&quot; and that the company is &quot;expecting a recovery&quot; in the coming quarters. The executive&#39;s comments suggest Broadcom&#39;s non-AI businesses are at a turning point and potentially ready to drive future growth.</p>
<p>In addition to revenue, Broadcom reported adjusted EBITDA of $8.223 billion for the quarter, representing 63% of revenue, a notable increase of 42% year-over-year. This demonstrates the company&#39;s continued focus on profitability and its ability to generate cash flow. The company also highlighted that adjusted EBITDA for the upcoming quarter is expected to reach approximately 64% of projected revenue.</p>
<p>The strong adjusted EBITDA performance is another positive sign for investors. It suggests that Broadcom is managing its costs effectively and generating significant cash flow despite the ongoing transition in its core business and the integration of VMware.</p>
<p>Broadcom&#39;s financial performance and its AI strategy are closely intertwined. During the earnings call, Tan also said that revenue from AI products will drive $12 billion in annual sales this year, up from the prior company estimate of $11 billion. The company&#39;s commitment to AI is evident in its focus on developing and deploying advanced chips and solutions for data centers and other critical applications.</p>
<h2><strong>Analyst Recommendations and the Investment Outlook</strong></h2>
<p>Broadcom&#39;s analyst community is generally optimistic about the company&#39;s future. The average price target for Broadcom stock is $189.23, representing a potential upside of 29.37% from the current price. Of 25 analysts covering the stock, 24 recommend buying it, while one recommends holding it. This &quot;Moderate Buy&quot; consensus rating indicates a generally positive market sentiment toward Broadcom.</p>
<h2><strong>A Final Thought: Broadcom&#39;s AI Powerhouse Emerges</strong></h2>
<p>Broadcom&#39;s AI revolution is quietly unfolding. While its current growth relies heavily on VMware, the company is strategically positioning itself as a dominant player in the AI space. Its non-AI businesses show signs of recovery, and AI drives strong revenue growth. The company&#39;s valuation relative to its peers, its commitment to AI, and the positive outlook from analysts make Broadcom an intriguing investment opportunity for investors with a long-term time horizon.</p>
<p>As Broadcom continues developing its AI capabilities and integrating VMware into its operations, investors might benefit from its quiet transformation into an AI powerhouse. Broadcom&#39;s journey to becoming a leader in AI is far from over, and the company&#39;s potential for future growth is significant. The market&#39;s current underestimation of Broadcom&#39;s AI strategy may present a window of opportunity for investors willing to look beyond the short term and embrace the potential of this quietly growing technology leader.</p>

<p>Flappy Bird is making an unexpected return, but its original creator, <strong>Dong Nguyen</strong>, wants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming">nothing to do with it. </a></p>
<p>Nguyen recently broke his years-long silence on X, formerly known as Twitter, to address the relaunch of the viral mobile game, making it clear that he has no involvement with the project and did not sell the rights.</p>

<p>His brief statement came after an organization calling itself the <strong>Flappy Bird Foundation </strong>announced plans to bring the game back to multiple platforms, including iOS and Android, by 2025.</p>
<p>The foundation's claim to the Flappy Bird trademark has raised eyebrows, especially as Nguyen's departure from the game's development seemed permanent after he famously pulled it from app stores in 2014. </p>
<p>Despite its enormous financial success at the time, Nguyen chose to step away, citing the game's impact on his personal life: &#8220;I can call Flappy Bird a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it.&#8221; He had largely avoided the public eye since then, until now.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Controversial Flappy Bird Relaunch</strong></h1>
<p>The Flappy Bird Foundation, founded in 2023, is pushing forward with plans to revive the once wildly popular mobile game. </p>
<p>In a statement, the group described itself as &#8220;a dedicated team of passionate fans and industry veterans who share a deep love for Flappy Bird.&#8221; According to the foundation, it has acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings LLC, after a legal battle in which Nguyen lost the rights due to claims of abandonment.</p>
<p><strong>Michael Roberts</strong>, the chief creative behind the relaunch and founder of 1208 Productions, has attracted scrutiny for his company's involvement in NFTs and cryptocurrency, including the NFT brand, Deez.</p>
<p>This association has stirred controversy within the gaming community, particularly after web developer and cybersecurity researcher <strong>Varun Biniwale</strong> discovered Web 3.0 references in the new game's website. Biniwale even uncovered early builds of the game that included cryptocurrency and NFT integrations, IGN<a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/flappy-bird-creator-speaks-out-after-revival-sparks-backlash"> reported.</a></p>

<p><strong>Zillow Group, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/Z#NASDAQ">Z</a>) shares are trading higher after Wedbush upgraded the stock from Neutral to Outperform and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/Z/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raised its price target from $50 to $80</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst Jay McCanless writes they see a potential boost from lower mortgage rates for Zillow&#8217;s core brokerage business.</p>
<p>The S&amp;S revenues, included in the Residential revenue line, have contributed to faster revenue growth compared to the national existing home market in recent quarters, adds the analyst.</p>
<p>McCanless maintained third-quarter estimates, which are at the high end of Zillow&#8217;s guidance for AEBITDA and revenue, as lower rates may not benefit buyers until the fourth quarter.</p>

<p>For FY25, the analyst raised the revenue estimate to $2.5 billion from $2.4 billion and AEBITDA estimate to $679 million from $600 million.</p>
<p>Segment-wise, the analyst increased FY25 growth estimates for Residential revenue to 17% and Rental revenue to 10%, driven by strong rental demand and high construction activity.</p>
<p>On the other hand, McCanless lowered the FY25 opex/sales target to 77% due to higher revenue.</p>
<p>Mortgage revenue is projected to grow 5% year-over-year, though upside risk remains if Residential revenue grows as expected, adds the analyst.</p>
