F1 is now Las Vegas' largest annual event, reporting $934M economic impact in year two
According to the study shared by the organizers of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and prepared by Applied Analysis, an economic analysis and consulting firm, the net visitor spend at the race came to $556 million, while a further $378 million was spent on operations.

The total of $934 million is over half a billion dollars down on the estimated economic impact from the first year in Las Vegas, which approached $1.5 billion, according to a report issued by Clark County following the 2023 race. That report estimated the total net visitor spend for 2023 at $884 million.
The first year overall figure was boosted by the economic impact of construction for the inaugural race, meaning officials in Las Vegas always anticipated a drop for the second running of the grand prix, which was the site of Max Verstappen's fourth world championship victory in November.
The study states that visitors to Las Vegas for the grand prix spent an average of $2,400 per person last year, not including their race tickets, which it claims is close to double the average spend for a visitor to Las Vegas. The race generated $45 million in tax income for the state of Nevada.
The financial results have established the Las Vegas Grand Prix as the city's largest recurring event. When Las Vegas hosted the Super Bowl in 2024 at the Raiders' Allegiant Stadium, Applied Analysis estimated the economic impact to be around $1 billion.
'The economic impact of the 2024 race hitting at $934 million serves as Las Vegas's largest recurring event, and we are only bested by our inaugural year number, and coming in slightly less than Las Vegas hosting the Super Bowl,' Lori Nelson-Kraft, SVP for corporate affairs at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, told The Athletic.
'When you think of mega events in Southern Nevada, this rises to the top. It's not only here annually, but it's here in what is traditionally the slowest week for Las Vegas of the year, it's a real win to know that it's on the calendar in a meaningful way at a time when Las Vegas can really benefit from it.'
There was a small dip in the overall attendance for the second Las Vegas Grand Prix, falling from 315,000 to 306,000 year-on-year. But the report did note an increase in the number of out-of-town attendees, drawing in 175,000 unique visitors. Nelson-Kraft said that hotel occupancy over the Las Vegas Grand Prix race weekend was also up year-on-year from 80 percent to 87 percent.

The organizers of the race in Las Vegas made a concerted effort to try and work closer with the local community for its second race after facing criticism through its inaugural year, particularly through the construction phase and repaving of roads that were used for the race track.
This included staging a free fan festival, bringing local schools into the paddock and inviting local companies to bid on goods and services. But there was still some opposition from disgruntled locals and businesses on the ground in Las Vegas over the staging of the race.
'We're trying to make this an event that everyone here can be proud of, and I think we really had a great year inviting the community in to be part of the experience,' said Nelson-Kraft, who said $15 million of the tax relief would go to local schools. 'You see after an inaugural year things really normalizing.'
Ahead of its third running on Nov. 22 this year, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has undergone some changes, both internally within the organization and regarding the timing of the race. The race start has been moved forward two hours to 8 p.m. PT. Emily Prazer has been appointed president of the event, in addition to her existing role as the chief commercial officer at F1.
In a call with investors at the end of last month, Derek Chang, the newly appointed CEO of Liberty Media, F1's parent company, acknowledged that the Las Vegas Grand Prix had 'missed internal expectations on revenue' in its second year, which was primarily due to ticket sales.
Chang said F1 had 'moved very quickly to enact changes that will benefit 2025 and support a financially successful race for F1 and continued growth and positive impact for the Las Vegas community.'
The Las Vegas race operations team has also been fully integrated into F1's London office ahead of the 2025 race, while Chang said there would be 'further revisions to the ticket product and pricing strategy' based on the feedback and data gathered from the first two years.
'We have a clear handle on near-term priorities for Vegas to improve, and we are confident in the value it provides,' Chang said.

The Alternative Premier League Table: No 1 – Making sense of season predictions and projections
Introducing The Alternative Premier League Table, a new series you can enjoy on The Athletic every Thursday during the season. We all know how compelling it is to stare at a league table. Whether your team is in the middle of a winning run or mired in terrible form, five minutes looking at the standings can convince you that a hundred different futures are possible. Advertisement Everyone knows the standard layout of a league table, and ours will contain several of those elements. What it will also have each week is one or two guest metrics that tap into the conversations taking place across the competition. It could be how the 20 sides are performing versus their expected goals, how many teenagers each team have fielded so far this season, how sides take corners, or how many times the coaching staff have been shown yellow cards. Frankly, the possibilities are endless — and exciting. Our aim is to enhance your holistic knowledge of the most popular football league on the planet, unearth and explain some of the season's underlying trends. Each week, Anantaajith Raghuraman will analyse the whole division, but in week one, with the games yet to begin, he starts by breaking down the Premier League season predictions and projections… The Premier League is back, and that means everyone from armchair fans to the most advanced supercomputers has plenty of thoughts about how the next nine months will play out. Opta's expected points model — based on 10,000 simulations of the upcoming season using their team strength model — is a solid starting point. And the first edition of The Alternative Premier League table below orders all 20 teams by their xPT (as of Monday, August 11). We have also included The Athletic's staff predictions by way of comparison. Oh, and you can sort the table by any metric each week by clicking the column title. While xPT will be our starting point for assessing the new season, it would be remiss not to acknowledge some of its limitations. Recent competitive form — which for most clubs means the 2024-25 season — is a significant indicator, which may explain some of the rankings in the above table. While taking in transfer activity via the impact of player trading on betting markets, the metric cannot measure the projected success of signings or the impact of departures. The same applies to managerial changes, too. Keeping all that in mind, we have divided the 20 teams into three distinct categories. Last season's big-name underperformers, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, have been similarly rated by the xPT model, with predicted finishes of 12th and 14th, respectively. United have retooled their attack by spending about £200million ($270m) on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. The need for an athletic midfielder and perhaps a reliable goalkeeper remains but this now feels like a squad with enough depth for a no-European-games campaign. Advertisement Ruben Amorim's methods required time on the training ground and following a busy preseason, they should get plenty of it during the campaign too. Their start to the campaign, by Opta's fixture difficulty scale, is the toughest in the league with Arsenal, Fulham, Burnley, Manchester City and Chelsea in their opening five games. Results early on, a Conference League spot and a deep cup run should be bare minimums for Amorim's second season. Who has the hardest (and easiest) start to the season? It's bad news for Manchester United, Bournemouth and Arsenal fans... United start with Arsenal, Fulham, Burnley, Man City and Chelsea — the hardest first five games of any team, based on Opta Power Rankings. Arsenal's… — Opta Analyst (@OptaAnalyst) August 11, 2025 As for Tottenham, Europa League success has been followed by the departures of coach Ange Postecoglou and captain Son Heung-min, and the arrivals of new coach Thomas Frank, winger Mohammed Kudus, and midfielder Joao Palhinha. The misfortune with injuries that hit the club for most of last season has continued into this summer. James Maddison may well be out for the entire season with a knee injury, while Dejan Kulusevski is still recuperating from knee surgery and Dominic Solanke missed plenty of pre-season. Playing in the expanded Champions League will pose its challenges, too. Tottenham hit their absolute floor in the league last season, but pre-season and Frank's press conferences have hinted at promise. Their expectation should be to finish somewhere between sixth, as predicted on average by our staff, and 14th. Newcastle's projected finish — above weekend opponents Aston Villa — may raise eyebrows too. Their form to end last season was middling, with two wins in their final six games, while their transfer window, as has been discussed endlessly, has been a struggle. With Callum Wilson gone and Alexander Isak — as it stands — in effective exile, a frontline that boasts Anthony Elanga, Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, and Jacob Murphy still needs some extra firepower. Advertisement Pre-season has been tricky too, with defeats against Celtic, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and the K-League XI. While Newcastle have kept hold of many of their key players, have added defender Malick Thiaw and are pursuing forwards before the end of the window, their midfield still feels light outside of the first-choice trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton. Joe Willock, who is currently injured, and Lewis Miley are their only real backups, which explains the interest in Jacob Ramsey. Ahead of the season's first game, it's tough to see them combine another top-five finish with Champions League participation. The wave of optimism has reached the banks of Selhurst Park too, with the xPT model seeing Crystal Palace mount a seventh-place finish. Success in the FA Cup and Community Shield are undoubtedly a factor, as is the fact that they have — so far — kept hold of their core from last season. Even considering all that, Conference League football is bound to take its toll and Palace's squad is not deep enough. Wide defender Borna Sosa is their only outfield addition of the window so far, while Eddie Nketiah, Matheus Franca, Cheick Doucoure, and Chadi Riad are all injured. Daichi Kamada joined that list after hobbling off against Liverpool at Wembley. The futures of Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze are in doubt, too. Unless there's a flurry of activity in the final weeks of the window, a club-record seventh-place finish feels far-fetched. The same may be felt about Brentford, predicted to finish 10th by the xPT model. Along with Frank, his coaching staff and Mbeumo, they have also lost captain Christian Norgaard and goalkeeper Mark Flekken, while Yoane Wissa could depart too. The foundations currently in place should serve new manager Keith Andrews well. Caoimhin Kelleher and Jordan Henderson are handy additions, while Kevin Schade, Mikkel Damsgaard, Nathan Collins and Yegor Yarmolyuk, among others, are fantastic players. Advertisement Having finished 10th last season, a regression looks likely, though relegation — as predicted by a fair few of our staff — may be a step too far in a negative direction. Fulham, after an 11th-place finish in a campaign where they competed for a European spot for large swathes, have been predicted to drop all the way to 15th. They have been the least active Premier League side in this transfer window, only signing goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte from Montpellier. Rodrigo Muniz, who has 17 league goals across the last two campaigns despite starting just 26 matches, is being linked with a move away. If so, he will need replacing but with most of last season's stars and Marco Silva still at Craven Cottage, another top-half finish shouldn't be ruled out. The three newly-promoted sides are an apt place to start this tier. Sunderland have signed Reinildo, Granit Xhaka, Noah Sadiki, Simon Adingra, Omar Alderete and Marc Guiu (on loan), with more deals in the works too. While some may deem a predicted finish at the very bottom, below Burnley and Leeds United, to be unfair, there is an undeniable 2018-19 Fulham feel to it all. At best, Regis Le Bris' team could fight for 17th. But a season akin to 2023-24 Luton Town and 2024-25 Ipswich Town ending in relegation after inciting brief whispers of 'Could they do it?' is a very real possibility. Leeds have also bolstered their ranks. Lucas Perri should be an upgrade over Illan Meslier, while Sean Longstaff, Jaka Bijol and Lukas Nmecha add Premier League-level physicality and potential. They drew with Manchester United, Villarreal and Milan in pre-season and the need for a goalscorer is evident, hence the upcoming signing of free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Leeds' vocal fans and proud history are welcome additions, and the club will hope our staff's 17th-place prediction comes true. But a Daniel Farke departure midway through the season and a swift return to the Championship by the end of it are also very much on the cards. Advertisement Burnley head coach Scott Parker's Premier League record (nine wins and 30 losses in 52 matches) is only a minor improvement on Farke's (six wins and 35 losses in 49 matches). Parker's side have a more solid defensive identity than Vincent Kompany's 2023-24 side, but the overall structure of Burnley's squad should still breed scepticism. They are a largely inexperienced team with few Premier League-ready starters. They might put up a better fight than they did last time out in the top flight, but it's difficult to see them displace one of the established names. If one of these three are to stay up, Wolves could be that team to make way, according to our staff, who predict them to finish 19th, and they are not too far away on xPT either at 17th. They have lost three trusted players in captain Nelson Semedo, Matheus Cunha, and Rayan Ait-Nouri, with the latter two contributing a combined 19 goals and 13 assists in the league last season. Vitor Pereira has done an admirable job so far. Jhon Arias and David Moller Wolfe profile as direct replacements for Cunha and Ait-Nouri, and Fer Lopez is a talented player too. Jorgen Strand Larsen's loan deal from Celta Vigo has been turned permanent but he is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. Wolves still need more incomings, potentially in central midfield and central defence, to build on the second half of last season. At the other end of the table, the usual suspects Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are expected to fill the top three in exactly that order. A three-pronged fight for the title is on the cards, with all three teams given sizeable probabilities of a finish across the top three by our staff… … and Opta's prediction model. Liverpool are the consensus favourite to repeat their title success after adding Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong, all of whom started their Community Shield defeat on penalties to Palace. Isak and Parma defender Giovanni Leoni may yet be added, too. Optimism at Anfield is through the roof but Arne Slot admitted after last Sunday's match that they need to find a balance between attack and defence. Liverpool have conceded 11 goals in seven games in preseason, having taken 14 games to do so in the league last season. Arsenal, meanwhile, struck that balance in their final preseason match, a 3-0 win over Athletic Club. Marquee signing Viktor Gyokeres scored while the Spanish side were limited to just two shots all game. Martin Zubimendi looks at home in midfield alongside Declan Rice, while Noni Madueke, Norgaard and Cristhian Mosquera, along with teenage sensation Max Dowman, have shown their value across pre-season. Jurrien Timber, Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori are back to full fitness too. The vibes are good and having come second thrice in a row, perhaps this will be Arsenal's year. How their reconfigured attack functions will be decisive. As for Manchester City, they will have to cope with a Rodri-shaped hole in midfield in the early weeks at least, with the Spaniard not expected to be fully fit before the September international break. The 3-0 pre-season win over Palermo showed that Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki together could provide some solutions in and out of possession. Pep Guardiola finally has a true left-back in Ait-Nouri, while Omar Marmoush should be better after a full pre-season. Advertisement Defensive transitions could hurt them again if Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva are forced to play lots of minutes, but otherwise, this City team is much better equipped to deal with the top two than last season's. Right below the current 'Big Three' are Chelsea. Another busy summer has included Club World Cup success (and the theatrics that came with it) in the U.S. and eight arrivals, including Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, Jorrel Hato and Estevao. This still-massive squad has been trimmed too, with 11 permanent departures. Levi Colwill's ACL injury is the only blot on an otherwise successful preparatory period that has included convincing wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Milan. This is still an inexperienced team, so a title charge could perhaps be a step too far but given their quality in depth, they can trouble all of Liverpool, Arsenal, and City. Nottingham Forest, 11th on the xPT table and predicted to finish 12th by our staff, round out this tier. An unexpectedly successful 2024-25 season had a further win at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which confirmed Forest's presence in the Europa League, replacing Crystal Palace. The summer has seen one key change in Elanga's departure to Newcastle, but the other changes have been around the periphery, with Danilo, Ramon Sosa, Andrew Omobamidele, Matt Turner, and Harry Toffolo all leaving. Dan Ndoye, Igor Jesus, Jair Cunha, and Angus Gunn have joined. Even when considering Nuno Espirito Santo's simple tactical improvements, Forest overperformed in many regards last season. Can Chris Wood score 20 league goals from just 13.4xG again? Will tiring legs and the variance that accompanies their direct approach turn in the opposite direction as they did late last season? The dreaded Thursday-Sunday double-act will undoubtedly bring complications too, and a fall-off feels inevitable. Aston Villa have had a quiet summer, which has led to varying opinions on their floor and ceiling. Evann Guessand is the only signing expected to improve their senior squad that did not bring Marcus Rashford, but kept hold of Ollie Watkins (for now). Ramsey could depart to Newcastle, but Emi Buendia, back from a loan spell at Leverkusen, could act as his in-house replacement. Advertisement Villa dropped two spots in the league last season after finishing fourth in 2023-24 and will also tread the Thursday-Sunday path this season. Another drop-off would be understandable but with Unai Emery, a settled squad, and the likes of Newcastle, their opening-day opponents, in turmoil, maybe less is more, and a European spot for the fourth season running is in the post. Also expected to compete for a European spot once again are Brighton and Hove Albion, predicted to finish ninth by our writers and eighth on xPT. They have been busy this summer, adding Charalampos Kostoulas, Maxim De Cuyper, Diego Coppola and Olivier Boscagli, while Joao Pedro, Simon Adingra, Pervis Estupinan and Valentin Barco have all departed. Joao Pedro, who scored 10 times in 27 league games last season, could be a big miss. Kostoulas, only 18, has big boots to fill alongside 34-year-old Danny Welbeck. Brighton's defence has improved on paper, though, and if they can hold onto Carlos Baleba amid interest from Manchester United, they should be primed for another season in and around the elite teams. Everton provide a more interesting case study. The second half of last season under David Moyes has prompted optimism, which has been compounded by the arrivals of Thierno Barry and Jack Grealish (on loan), even if fans remain divided on the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Our staff have them finishing 14th, while the xPT model has them one place higher. But a quick glance at my colleague Carl Anka's amnesty for outrageous takes ahead of 2025-26 has seen several suggest Everton to fight for a top-half finish or even European qualification. Moyes did that with West Ham when few expected him to, so it may not be beyond the realms of possibility. Speaking of West Ham, they have said goodbye to multiple players, including a few stalwarts, this summer. Michail Antonio, Aaron Cresswell, Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal, Kurt Zouma and Danny Ings have all left upon the expiry of their contracts, while Kudus was sold to Tottenham. El Hadji Malick Diouf, Mads Hermansen, Kyle Walker-Peters and Callum Wilson have joined. Advertisement A full pre-season should aid Graham Potter after the team struggled to break out of its Julen Lopetegui funk in the second half of last season. But the ceiling of this team still looks quite bleak, with our writers expecting them to finish 15th while they are 16th on xPT. Perhaps West Ham will surprise us all, but after the topsy-turvy nature of the last three seasons, nobody knows what to expect apart from Jarrod Bowen (13 goals and eight assists in the league last season) to be good again. The final team on this list are Bournemouth, coming off a summer in which they lost Milos Kerkez to Liverpool, Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid and Illia Zabarnyi to Paris Saint-Germain, while Kepa Arrizabalaga departed after his loan spell. Adrien Truffert, Bafode Diakite and Djordje Petrovic have come in, with more activity expected before the end of this month. Keeping hold of Andoni Iraola and Antoine Semenyo is a positive and the hope will be for fewer injuries after Adam Smith, Evanilson and Luis Sinisterra all spent extended time on the sidelines. Lewis Cook, Ryan Christie and Enes Unal are all currently on the injury table, though. Dango Ouattara could depart amid interest from Brentford, with The Athletic reporting on Wednesday that Bayer Leverkusen's Amine Adli could be his replacement. Bournemouth are ninth in xPT and were picked to finish 11th by our staff but could end up several places either side of those due to the chaotic nature of their football and big-name departures from last season's successful core.

How Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) Can Outpace AMD in Boosting Returns
With the advent of artificial intelligence, it's no surprise that semiconductor giants like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have surged in value in recent years. However, the company isn't immune to pressure, as its latest financial disclosure demonstrated, with statistic hot-shots like Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) waiting in the wings. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Thanks to investors increasingly ramping up their expectations, hiccups against key benchmark figures can result in tremendous volatility, as we've just witnessed in AMD stock. For the second quarter, Advanced Micro reported record revenue of $7.7 billion, representing a 32% jump against the year-ago period. Fundamentally, much of the growth could be attributed to strong demand for server and PC processors. Not surprisingly, the latest sales tally beat Wall Street analysts' consensus view of $7.41 billion. Unfortunately, the company couldn't sustain the same magnitude of momentum on the bottom line. Adjusted earnings per share landed in line with the consensus estimate. However, this figure represented a huge decline of 30.4% on a year-over-year basis. In terms of outlook, management guided Q3 revenue to reach approximately $8.7 billion, reflecting 28% year-over-year growth. Notably, this forecast swung past the Street's estimate of $8.3 billion. Still, it wasn't enough to prevent an initial panic in AMD stock following the disclosure. That said, the equity entered this past weekend on a high note. With the bulls once again demonstrating their resilience, AMD stock may look interesting to options traders. However, there's another overlooked chipmaker that astute speculators may want to consider. AMD's Shining Moment Has Passed To be 100% clear, I'm not trashing AMD stock. If you genuinely believe that the security offers viable upside, I won't protest. However, the point I'd like to make is that based on a statistical framework, AMD lacks a confidence-inspiring signal. In the options arena, the financial publication industry focuses heavily on convoluted concepts such as implied volatility, unusual activity, and the Greeks. While these are certainly intriguing datapoints, that's all they are. It's like looking at the speedometer — useful, perhaps, to avoid getting a traffic ticket, but having this knowledge alone won't make you drive like Max Verstappen. Here's the ultimate truth when it comes to options: it doesn't matter how cheap your option is if the probabilistic risk of failure is sky-high. No amount of Greek fluency can save a trade destined for the dumps. As such, I'm a big believer in discrete-event analysis. Rather than view share prices in their native form as continuous scalar signals, I prefer to convert and categorize price action into discrete, defined states. For example, in the past 10 weeks, I'm no longer interested in how AMD stock transitioned from one price point to another. Instead, I look at how the market voted to buy AMD seven times and sell three times. During this period, the security enjoyed an upward trajectory. For brevity, we can label this sequence as 7-3-U. For a deeper delve into my proprietary quantitative analysis and how 'sequences' are derived, readers can refer to previous articles. The goal of categorizing these 10-week sequences is to use past analogs to determine how the market responds to them. As a baseline, the chance that a long position in AMD stock will rise on any given week is 55.07%. This is effectively our null hypothesis, the probabilistic expectation assuming no mispricing. However, our alternative hypothesis is that, because of the 7-3-U sequence, the odds have changed. Sadly, the odds change to the projected detriment of bullish traders, with the probability of upside shrinking to 40.43%. This translates to a downside probability of 59.57%, which, in my opinion, isn't enough to justify an outright bearish position. From a trader's perspective, AMD stock is stuck in no-man's land. Allegro MicroSystems: The Arguably Better Alternative For those seeking speculative growth, I would much rather consider Allegro MicroSystems. A semiconductor specialist, Allegro designs, develops, manufactures, and markets sensor and power integrated circuits (ICs) that are used in a variety of applications, especially in the automotive and industrial sectors. While ALGM stock doesn't command the footprint of an AMD, it's a name respected by several market experts. Since the start of the year, ALGM has gained nearly 46%, which is an impressive performance. However, in the past month, the security has been down roughly 17%, thereby presenting a discounted opportunity for aggressive traders. It's not just about the red ink; rather, the statistical profile is very compelling. In the last 10 weeks, the market voted to buy ALGM stock six times and sell four times. During this period, the security swung upward. Again, for brevity, we can label this sequence as 6-4-U. Here, the baseline probability — or the null hypothesis — is 50.8%, barely a positive bias. However, with the 6-4-U sequence flashing, our alternative hypothesis stands at 63.89%. Therefore, an incentive exists to consider a debit-based options strategy. From past analogs, the median expected performance assuming the positive pathway is 4.88% in the following week when the 6-4-U sequence flashes. If the bulls manage to maintain control of the market for the next three weeks, traders may anticipate an additional performance boost of 1.41%. With ALGM stock closing at $30.77 on Friday, the upside target could be $32.73, possibly $33 if the winds move favorably. Thanks to the structure of the options market right now, a compelling idea may be buying the $30 call expiring September 19 outright. Presently, the ask on this contract is $2.50 or $250 when applying the options multiplier. Based on intrinsic value at expiration, the breakeven price for this trade is $32.50. Another trade to consider for extreme speculators is the 35/40 bull call spread expiring on November 21. This transaction involves buying the $35 call and simultaneously selling the $40 call, for a net debit paid of $120 (the maximum possible loss). Should ALGM stock rise through the short strike price of $40 at expiration, the maximum profit is $380, a payout of about 317%. Keep in mind that looking that far ahead is difficult for any forecasting model to get right. However, I will say that the p-value (from a one-tailed binomial test) of the 6-4-U sequence is 0.1353. This means that there's a 13.53% chance that the implications of the signal could materialize randomly as opposed to intentionally. I can't call this a statistically significant signal, but it remains an empirically intriguing sequence within the stock market's open and entropic system. Is ALGM a Good Stock to Buy? Turning to Wall Street, ALGM stock carries a Strong Buy consensus rating based on nine Buys, two Holds, and zero Sell ratings over the past three months. ALGM's average stock price target is $38.09, implying almost 20% upside potential. Allegro Offers a Superior Options Trading Opportunity Than AMD While Advanced Micro Devices has been a fan favorite, there's growing evidence that traders are getting stretched with AMD stock, putting the security in ambiguous air. In contrast, ALGM stock offers a much clearer probabilistic signal, making it an intriguing alternative.

Cubs to call up outfield prospect Owen Caissie ahead of series finale: Source
TORONTO — The Chicago Cubs are calling up prospect Owen Caissie ahead of their series finale against the Blue Jays on Thursday, a source confirmed to The Athletic. News of the promotion of the left-handed, power-hitting outfielder was first reported by ESPN. The 23-year-old Caissie has been tearing up Triple A this season, slugging 22 homers and posting a strong 145 wRC+. Caissie has played the majority of his games in right field, but also has some time in left field. While he isn't known for his glove, he's steadily improved in the area over the last two years. Advertisement The knock on Caissie has always been his swing and miss. This season, he has a 28 percent strikeout rate in 400 plate appearances with Iowa. However, he counteracts that with his elite power and strong walk rate. That said, over his last 36 games, Caissie's strikeout rate has dipped to below 20 percent, his walk rate has stayed high at 14.1 percent, and his overall offensive numbers have shot through the roof. During this span, Caissie has slashed .341/.436/.689 to go along with 12 homers and 10 doubles. Catcher Miguel Amaya had just returned from a nearly 12-week absence on Tuesday, but in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Blue Jays, he was carted off the field after badly spraining his ankle and will require a stint on the injured list. Caissie will be called up to take his spot on the roster, and can potentially give a boost to an offense that's found itself in a bit of a rut of late after performing like one of the sport's best lineups in the season's first half. If Caissie makes his big-league debut on Thursday, he will do so not far from where he grew up. The youngster went to high school at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Burlington, Ontario, about a 45-minute drive from the Rogers Centre. Caissie was drafted out of high school by the San Diego Padres in the second round of the 2020 draft. The following winter, the Padres traded Caissie to the Cubs with three other prospects and pitcher Zach Davies for pitcher Yu Darvish and catcher Victor Caratini. Spot the pattern.
