While the TSX index is hovering near record highs, ( ) is a Canadian stock that has grossly underperformed the broader markets. Down close to 80% in 2024, the has fallen 98% since its initial public offering in May 2021. Currently valued at a of $105 million, Lion Electric designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes all-electric medium and heavy-duty urban vehicles in North America. Its product portfolio includes battery systems, bus bodies, and truck cabins. Let’s see why Lion Electric stock is struggling to win investor confidence and if it can stage a comeback in the next 12 months. Lion Electric recently published its third-quarter (Q3) results, which disappointed investors. While the long-term electric vehicle transition story remains intact, Lion Electric reported a 62% year-over-year decline in Q3. Its revenue fell to $30.6 million while reporting a net loss of $33.9 million. Moreover, vehicle deliveries totalled 89 units in Q3, down from 245 vehicles in the year-ago period. What’s a matter of concern for investors is that the company ended Q3 with $27 million in total liquidity, which suggests it will soon need to raise additional capital to support its cash-burn rate. In the September quarter, Lion Electric reduced inventory by $15 million while implementing initiatives to reduce costs by $65 million annually. However, the company included a “going concern” warning in its quarterly report, emphasizing the need to secure additional funding and restructure debt covenants as soon as possible. Lion Electric is like a homeowner who needs to refinance the mortgage and secure a new line of credit, all amid a falling revenue base. These struggles highlight a crucial reality impacting several companies in the electric vehicle segment. It’s evident that having great technology and strong demand is not enough to fund operations through the growth phase. Automobile manufacturing is capital-intensive, and companies must significantly expand production capabilities to benefit from economies of scale. Lion Electric ended Q3 with an order book of 1,590 vehicles valued at $420 million. Comparatively, the company is forecast to end 2024 with revenue of $148 million, down from $253 million in 2023. Lion Electric claimed it is seeing strong vehicle interest through government initiatives such as the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) program, which has translated to 275 orders. At the same time, Lion Electric’s long-term opportunity remains appealing as it is part of a growing market with strong regulatory tailwinds. Alternatively, current financial risks make LEV stock a highly speculative investment. Lion Electric represents both the promise and the peril of investing in the EV transition. While it has a proven technology and notable customer interest, ongoing financial challenges highlight the risks of scaling up manufacturing operations in a capital-intensive industry. For risk-tolerant investors who believe in the long-term electrification of commercial vehicles, Lion Electric might be worth watching, especially if it can shore up profit margins over the next 12 months. LEV stock trades at a discount of 50%, given consensus price target estimates. While analysts expect the TSX stock to rebound in 2025, I would recommend a more cautious approach and wait until the company showcases an ability to improve the bottom line.Here are all the things OpenAI has released so far for its 12 days of 'Shipmas' campaign

New Book Release: “Bots & Bytes: An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT, and Machine Learning”NEW YORK (AP) — Police don't know who he is, where he is, or why he did it. As the frustrating search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer got underway for a fifth day Sunday, investigators reckoned with a tantalizing contradiction: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. One conclusion they are confident of, however: It was a targeted attack , not a random one. They know he ambushed Thompson at 6:44 a.m. Wednesday as the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. They know ammunition found near Thompson’s body bore the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by insurance industry critics . The fact that the shooter knew UnitedHealthcare group was holding a conference at the hotel and what route Thompson might take to get there suggested that he could possibly be a disgruntled employee or client, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. Police divers were seen searching a pond in Central Park, where the killer fled after the shooting. Officers have been scouring the park for days for any possible clues and found his backpack there Friday. They didn’t immediately reveal what, if anything, it contained but said it would be tested and analyzed. On Sunday morning, police declined to comment on the contents of the backpack, or on the results of the search in the pond, saying no updates were planned. Investigators have urged patience, saying the process of logging evidence that stands up in court isn’t as quick as it looks like on TV . Hundreds of detectives are combing through video recordings and social media, vetting tips from the public and interviewing people who might have information, including Thompson’s family and coworkers and the shooter’s randomly assigned roommates at the Manhattan hostel where he stayed. Investigators caught a break when they came across security camera images of an unguarded moment at the hostel in which he briefly showed his face. Retracing the gunman’s steps using surveillance video, police say, it appears he left the city by bus soon after the shooting outside the New York Hilton Midtown. He was seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later, Kenny said. With the high-profile search expanding across state lines, the FBI announced late Friday that it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, adding to a reward of up to $10,000 that the NYPD has offered. Police say they believe the suspect acted alone. Police distributed the images to news outlets and on social media but so far haven’t been able to ID him using facial recognition — possibly because of the angle of the images or limitations on how the NYPD is allowed to use that technology, Kenny said. Late Saturday, police released two additional photos of the suspected shooter that appeared to be from a camera mounted inside a taxi. The first shows him outside the vehicle and the second shows him looking through the partition between the back seat and the front of the cab. In both, his face is partially obscured by a blue, medical-style mask.A single French word had people howling after the President's congratulatory message to Trump. Leaders from around the world hurried to congratulate Donald Trump on winning the 2024 election. But for humorous reasons, one post stood out. French President Emmanuel Macron is among the world leaders who have congratulated Donald Trump on his recent victory in the US election. However, one word in Macron's statement has undoubtedly caused some people to take notice. The French leader stated on social media that he is ready to work together with Trump, just as they did during the 78-year-old's previous term in office, which lasted from 2017 to 2020. Given that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in his hush-money case, Macron's use of the word convictions attracted attention. Commenters questioned if the translation had missed anything.

No, Macron's team clarified that the term convictions referred to beliefs rather than legal issues, and any misunderstanding was unintentional.

Fortnite OG is back. Here's what to know about the mode's release, maps and game pass.KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — Freshman Justus McNair made a 3-pointer from midcourt just before the final buzzer to cap Valparaiso's game-closing 29-4 run and the Beacons knocked off Western Michigan 76-73 on Friday. Valpo trailed 69-47 with 6:51 remaining. Tied at 73-all, Western Michigan's Donovan Williams came up short on a 3-pointer from the corner and McNair grabbed the rebound with about four seconds left before racing the other way for a one-footed runner at the horn. Cooper Schwieger scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half for the Beacons (6-5). Jefferson Monegro scored 13 points while going 4 of 15 from the floor, including 0 for 3 from 3-point range, and 5 for 9 from the line.

CHICAGO — Fall leaves get a warm welcome from Christie Hunt. The River Forest, Illinois, resident rakes them into her flower beds, where they decay, providing fertilizer and valuable winter habitat for bees, moths, butterflies and fireflies. She also piles leaves around her fig tree, where they provide protection against the cold. And when Hunt uses up her own leaves, she gets creative. “I know this is going to sound a little strange,” she recently told a neighbor. “But I could really use some more leaves. Do you mind if I rake leaves from your yard?” The green gardening practice known as Leave the Leaves isn’t closely tracked, but a recent poll from the National Wildlife Federation found that 15% of Americans leave their leaves in their yards, and some local leaf-leavers say they’re seeing signs of growing interest on social media. Among the examples: a 2023 “Leave the Leaves” TikTok video by the foraging teacher Alexis Nikole Nelson got 1.2 million views and 3,400 comments. “I wasn’t seeing this conversation online a couple of years ago,” said Nick Wallace, 24, of Elmwood Park, who has been leaving leaves in his yard for about three years. “This conversation is absolutely skyrocketing and it’s great to see.” Among the goals of formal Leave the Leaves campaigns sponsored by national conservation groups: to provide food and shelter for insects at a time when studies show drastic population declines. “We’re literally throwing away the next generation of pollinators,” said National Wildlife Federation naturalist David Mizejewski. Ela Finch of Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood has been leaving the leaves for four years, in part to support wildlife, and in part because she likes the free and convenient compost. “That’s nature’s fertilizer — you don’t have to rake it up and go find more fertilizer at Home Depot,” said Finch, a photographer who grew up leaving the leaves in rural Michigan. She first noticed a Leave the Leaves post on social media two or three years ago, followed by more posts by environmental groups, but she didn’t realize that there was a formal campaign until this year. “I was like, ‘Wait, so it is a thing?’” she said with a laugh. Mizejewski said it’s unclear who started Leave the Leaves, and lots of groups are promoting it. His organization drew attention to the issue early on with a popular 2014 blog post, and last year the wildlife federation started promoting October as Leaves the Leaves month. Concern about a drastic decline in the insect population — sometimes referred to as the insect apocalypse — has helped drive interest. An influential 2017 study in the journal PLOS ONE found a 75% decrease in flying insects in German nature preserves over 27 years, and in 2021 the National Academies of Sciences produced a special issue on insect decline, with the authors of one article writing, “Urgent action is needed on behalf of nature.” Birds, many of which eat insects, are also struggling, with a 2019 report in the journal Science estimating that there were 29% fewer birds in North America than there were in 1970. Wallace is among those who found their way to leaving the leaves not through the campaign itself, but due to concern for declining wildlife. He said he was always a “nature nerd,” and in college he began studying ecology, including wildlife loss, habitat loss and climate change. “I wanted to do as much as I could on the homefront, in the face of these overwhelming odds of getting our whole species on board to help the planet,” he said. His efforts, fueled by a COVID-era deep-dive into green gardening, include a native garden he planted in the front yard of the bungalow where he lives with his mother, uncle and grandmother. In the summer, he gets a dazzling array of butterflies, including swallowtails, monarchs, blue azures and clouded sulphurs. His garden also draws birds and moths, and lots of bees, wasps and hornets. In Elgin, Kelly Swayne said that she was leaving the leaves before she heard of the formal Leave the Leaves campaign, but the campaign inspired her to start raking leaves into flower beds. “It’s this nice little closed loop: What falls in my yard stays in my yard. And I get all the lightning bugs,” said Swayne, a massage therapist. On the Northwest side, artist Becca Bowlin reported a similar leave-the-leaves effect: “We’re the only yard that has fireflies.” Firefly larvae need damp places — such as layers of fallen leaves — in order to grow into the flickering wonders we see in the summer, according to Matthew Shepherd, director of outreach and education at the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a science-based nonprofit. The red-banded hairstreak butterfly actually lays its eggs on fallen leaves, he said. The luna moth produces cocoons wrapped in leaves, which in turn fall to the ground, where fall leaves provide shelter and camouflage. The level of enthusiasm among Chicago-area leave the leaves participants is high, with several saying that, like Hunt, they have targeted other peoples’ leaves. When a neighbor recently asked Wallace for help raking, Wallace readily agreed — on the condition that he could take the leaves. Leave the leaves participants responding to a recent Facebook query reported “stealing” discarded bags of leaves from a Chicago alley and raiding neighbors’ leaf piles. One leaf-snatcher targets oak leaves, which she uses to acidify the soil around her blueberry bushes. At the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, which practices Leave the Leaves gardening, manager of horticulture Seth Harper said the vast majority of garden plants do fine when you rake leaves into their beds. “It also saves you a lot of work,” he noted. Still, he offered a few cautions and caveats: You may want to clear away leaves around roses to avoid black spot disease, and vegetable gardens can benefit from leaf-clearing as well. People can slip on leaf-strewn pavement, so it’s a good idea to clear sidewalks and walkways. And yes, he said, piled too thickly, leaves can kill grass. His rule of thumb: “If you can see grass, you’re fine.” If not, you may want to do some spot-raking. Leave the Leaves doesn’t appear to be getting much pushback in the Chicago area. Websites for Oak Park and Glencoe have online messages supporting the campaign, and Wallace said neighbors have had very positive responses to his native plant garden — a novelty on the block. “Children come by my yard when I’m out there, and they’re pointing at bugs,” he said. “There’s this family that comes by to talk to me about my garden and they have their two little kiddos and a remote control Jeep that they drive around on the sidewalk, and they point at all the milkweed bugs. They love it.” Wallace uses the garden to explain the leaf-leaving, which has proved uncontroversial. Finch said pushback has been minimal, but she has a friend in Indiana who leaves the leaves in a neighborhood with pristine lawns and lots of leaf blowers, and there, neighbors have been more vocal in their opposition. “I think in the city we’re lucky,” she said. Hunt reported zero pushback from neighbors. “Now what they’re saying behind my back, I don’t know,” she said with a laugh.

The hunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO’s elusive killer yields new evidence, but few answersPeacemaker: Trump calls for ceasefire in Ukraine after end of Assad regime in Syria

The artist’s concept portrays a sleek and modern new building with sharp angles and generous natural light. The Butte Community Wellness and Resilience Hub would be built near the Butte Civic Center and on formerly contaminated ground associated with the Parrot Tailings. As envisioned, the center would serve a host of functions, ranging from providing recreation and wellness programming and facilities to a shelter during times when wildlife smoke diminishes air quality and threatens health — an increasingly common scenario given climate change. Butte-Silver Bow County appears destined to benefit from EPA’s Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants Program. An artist's concept of a portion of the proposed hub's exterior. The city-county learned recently that it would receive a multi-million grant from the program. Fine-tuning will follow, according to Taylor Gillespie, a regional spokeswoman for EPA. “After a grant is selected, they go through work plan negotiations which is a back-and-forth process between Butte-Silver Bow and the EPA project officer to make sure that the details are solid and that they are on track to meet the requirements of the grant,” Gillespie said. “This would include going line by line through their budget, looking at all of the specifics in the work plan, etc.” EPA has not yet announced the grant amount, but Butte-Silver Bow’s application last spring sought $20 million. And that’s the amount J.P. Gallagher anticipates local government will receive. “This is going to be a huge benefit to the community,” said Gallagher, chief executive of Butte-Silver Bow. “We are very confident that we will be fully funded but before we go into final engineering and design, we need the full confirmation of that funding,” he said. “The cost of construction could affect the square footage of what can be built. There are still some unknowns.” Butte-Silver Bow County learned this week that it will receive a multi-million dollar grant from EPA that could pay for a new community recreation and resilience center near the Butte Civic Center. Local government applied for the grant in spring. An estimate of total square-footage was not available Thursday. Gallagher said the city-county received feedback that its application, completed in consultation with Water & Environmental Technologies, was one of the most complete received by EPA for funding from the agency’s Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants Program. No taxpayer money was involved in preparing the ambitious grant application, Gallagher said. The proposal had to fall within the grant program’s environmental and climate justice framework. The grant application alluded to the human and economic costs of federal Superfund designation for Butte because of historic mining and smelting pollution. “With an active Superfund site, prolonged disinvestment and significant indicators of poverty and negative environmental impacts, Butte-Silver Bow has been designated as a disadvantaged community and continues to struggle with the impacts of social, economic and environmental decline,” the application noted. Given that status, how will Butte-Silver Bow pay to operate the new facility? One estimate puts annual operating costs at about $560,000. A file photo from 2022 shows wastes removal underway associated with the former Parrot Smelter in Butte. A new recreation and resiliency hub could occupy remediated ground in the vicinity of the Butte Civic Center. The feasibility study completed by Water & Environmental Technologies cites a variety of ways, in fees and rentals, that the facility could cover expenses. Gallagher weighed in. “The analysis is that the facility would make money to pay for operation,” he said. The feasibility study observes, “One of the most important criterion when selecting and evaluating potential programming is the ability of that programming to recover at least 100% of its expense.” The study adds, “Providing spaces for event, birthday, meeting, fitness and gymnasium rentals offers potential for recovering expenses.” Gallagher said the recreational functions of the facility will likely be less like a fitness center and more like a gym — with basketball and volleyball courts and probably pickleball, too. Programming at the Community Wellness and Resilience Hub would focus on such things as community resiliency, emergency preparedness and wellbeing activities. Several regional environmental consulting businesses and contractors benefit from the so-called remediation economy tied to Butte’s status as a federal Superfund site. And a few cleanup projects have benefitted the community in tangible ways. But a cost/benefits analysis of the Superfund status hitched like a lamprey to Butte since 1987 would have to consider a host of costs, including environmental stigma. Some residents of Butte-Silver Bow are routinely critical of EPA’s handling of Superfund work in the region. But relationships recently improved when EPA proposed a dramatic decrease in the action level for lead in residential soils and interior dust.

Carrier Board of Directors Announces an 18 Percent Increase in Quarterly Dividend to $0.225 per ShareStock market today: Wall Street gains ground as it notches a winning week and another Dow record

Coinbase director Ehrsam sells $3.78 million in stockNEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump wants to turn the lights out on daylight saving time. In a post on his social media site Friday, Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office. “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote. Setting clocks forward one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall is intended to maximize daylight during summer months, but has long been subject to scrutiny. Daylight saving time was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. Lawmakers have occasionally proposed getting rid of the time change altogether. The most prominent recent attempt, a now-stalled bipartisan bill named the Sunshine Protection Act , had proposed making daylight saving time permanent. The measure was sponsored by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio , whom Trump has tapped to helm the State Department. “Changing the clock twice a year is outdated and unnecessary,” Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said as the Senate voted in favor of the measure. Health experts have said that lawmakers have it backward and that standard time should be made permanent. Some health groups , including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine, have said that it’s time to do away with time switches and that sticking with standard time aligns better with the sun — and human biology. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time. For those that do, the date that clocks are changed varies, creating a complicated tapestry of changing time differences. Arizona and Hawaii don't change their clocks at all.The two-time defending champion Texas Longhorns are out of the NCAA women's volleyball tournament, eliminated 3-1 Friday in the regional semifinals by Creighton in State College, Pennsylvania. It wasn't an upset in terms of seeding, as the Bluejays are the No. 2 seed and Texas is No. 3 in the Penn State regional. But Texas is a four-time national champion and one of the sport's longtime powerhouses. Creighton has never made it to the final four but will have the chance to do so in Sunday's regional final against either No. 1 seed Penn State or No. 5 Marquette. This is Creighton's second appearance in a regional final; the Bluejays advanced in 2016 but were eliminated by Texas. On Friday, Creighton won its 25th match in a row, the longest active streak in Division I. Norah Sis led Creighton with 15 kills, 3 blocks and 13 digs. Editor's Picks NCAA volleyball tournament: 16 players to watch in regionals 1d Aishwarya Kumar and Michael Voepel Pitt volleyball chases history with a hunter's mindset 8d Aishwarya Kumar Creighton men's basketball coach Greg McDermott posted on social media that his team stopped practice to watch the clinching point of the volleyball match and to celebrate the Bluejays victory. Texas' quest to become the second Division I women's volleyball team to win three NCAA titles in a row came to an end. The only school to do that is Penn State, which won four consecutive titles from 2007-10. Madisen Skinner, who has won NCAA titles at Kentucky and Texas, led the Longhorns with 23 kills Friday. Texas won NCAA championships in 1988, 2012, 2022 and 2023, plus has gone to the NCAA final four 11 other times. The Longhorns started this season ranked No. 1 in the AVCA top 25 poll, but ran into some tough times right away, losing three of their first six matches. In its first season in the SEC, Texas went 13-3, finishing second to league champion Kentucky. The Wildcats advanced Thursday to the Pittsburgh regional final, where they will face host Pitt, the No. 1 overall seed, Saturday (ESPN2, 5 p.m. ET) for a trip to the final four. Saturday's other regional final is at Louisville, where the No. 1 seed Cardinals host No. 2 Stanford (ESPN2, 7:30 p.m. ET). Sunday's regional finals will be held at Penn State and Nebraska. The final four is in Louisville, with the semifinals on Dec. 19 at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and the final on Dec. 22 at 3 p.m. ET on ABC.
