ARM Holdings

Arm Holdings is the IP owner and developer of the ARM architecture (ARM stands for Acorn RISC Machine), which is used in 99% of the world's smartphone CPU cores, and it also has high market share in other battery-powered devices like wearables, tablets, or sensors. Arm licenses its architecture for a fee, offering different types of licenses depending on the flexibility the customer needs. Customers like Apple or Qualcomm buy architectural licenses, which allows them to modify the architecture and add or delete instructions to tailor the chips to their specific needs. Other clients directly buy off-the-shelf designs from Arm. Off-the-shelf and architectural customers pay a royalty fee per chip shipped.

퀄컴(NASDAQ:QCOM)은 Arm 홀딩스(NASDAQ:ARM)에 대한 중요한 법적 승리를 확보한 후, 향후 소송에서 상당한 레버리지를 얻었다고 JP모건의 애널리스트 사믹 채터지(Samik Chatterjee)가 전했다. 법원의 판결: 델라웨어 지방법원은 퀄컴의 누비아(Nuvia) 인수가 Arm의 아키텍처 라이선스 계약(ALA)을 위반하지 않았다고 판결하여, 퀄컴의 라이선스 아래 설계가 보호받도록 했다.

퀄컴, Arm 소송에서 큰 승리: 기술적 약세 추세가 후퇴할까?

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) are heading toward a critical Jan. 10 deadline over new compliance measures affecting the asset manager&#8217;s holdings in U.S. banks, marking a significant development in the ongoing debate over institutional investor influence in the banking sector.
What Happened: The FDIC is pushing BlackRock, which manages $11.5 trillion in assets, to accept enhanced oversight requirements when it owns more than 10% of FDIC-supervised banks&#8217; shares, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1d559e21-66b6-4a50-8177-6b0daefaf7a1">reported</a>, citing sources. 
This move follows competitor Vanguard&#8216;s recent agreement to broader FDIC oversight and expanded passivity agreements covering banks within larger holding companies.
BlackRock&#8217;s stakes in 39 U.S. community and regional banks exceed the 10% threshold, triggering regulatory concern. In an October comment letter, BlackRock strongly opposed the proposal, arguing it would &#8220;harm investors, disrupt the flow of capital to the economy, and undermine the efficacy&#8221; of existing regulations.
In its iShares U.S. Financial ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYF#NYSE">IYF</a>), BlackRock&#8217;s largest banking holdings are in JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co, Bank of America Corp, and Wells Fargo &amp; Company.
BlackRock and FDIC did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The conflict reflects growing regulatory scrutiny of major asset managers&#8217; influence over the financial sector. Harvard law professor John Coates, in his 2023 book &#8220;The Problem of Twelve,&#8221; warned about the unprecedented concentration of voting power, noting that major index funds together <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38051183/could-3-powerful-fund-managers-take-control-of-us-banks">control over 20% of S&amp;P 500 companies&#8217; votes</a>.
FDIC director Jonathan McKernan has emphasized the necessity of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38051183/could-3-powerful-fund-managers-take-control-of-us-banks">robust compliance measures</a>, particularly as passive investment giants like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street Corp. continue to expand their holdings through index funds.
While BlackRock proposed alternative passivity agreements in December, these fell short of the compliance measures Vanguard accepted. The FDIC&#8217;s January deadline comes as the agency anticipates new leadership following the upcoming administration change.

BlackRock Faces Jan. 10 Deadline For Compliance Over Bank Stakes As FDIC Scrutinizes Investor Power: Report

The king of outrageous challenges, Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, is back with a bold giveaway.
What Happened: In a conversation with PodSensei that was released on Sunday, MrBeast revealed that he purchased a private jet and challenged two fresh aviation school graduates to live inside it for 100 days.
If they succeed, they get to keep the jet.
The YouTube sensation described the jet as a &#8220;really nice&#8221; Dassault Aviation's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUAVF#OTC">DUAVF</a>) Hawker 2000, offering the participants the freedom to fly it anywhere globally.

However, they must remain inside the aircraft for the entire duration to win. The challenge allows them to open the door for deliveries, such as pizza, but they cannot step outside.
The video of the conversation was posted by a user on X, to which MrBeast replied posing a question to his followers, &#8220;Would you guys live in a private jet for 100 days to keep it?&#8221;

His extreme endurance test, &#8220;I Survived 50 Hours in Antarctica&#8221; was posted two years ago and has since racked up over 220 million views on YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.

MrBeast's Daring New Challenge: Live In A Jet For 100 Days And Then Keep It — Are You Game?

Controversial figure Martin Shkreli issued a stark warning for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) proxy stock, MicroStrategy Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), on Monday, predicting its potential liquidation and a significant Bitcoin surge.
What Happened:&nbsp;Shkreli, popularly known as &#8220;Pharma Bro,&#8221; took to X to vent his thoughts on MicroStrategy&#8217;s ongoing downturn, which has resulted in the stock plummetting more than 15% in a week. The decline coincided with Bitcoin&#8217;s corrective action, which caused the leading cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42735439/bitcoin-falls-below-93k-ethereum-dogecoin-slip-ahead-of-new-year-top-analyst-anticipates-problem-for-apex-crypto">to slip below $93,000</a>.
&#8220;Uh $MSTR &lt; $300. We will liquidate you and take BTC to $250,000 without Saylor—poetic justice?&#8221; Shkreli made a cheeky jibe at the company&#8217;s co-founder and chair, Michael Saylor.
Shkreli sarcastically advised Saylor to sell some of the firm&#8217;s Bitcoin holdings to protect against risks. &#8220;Best thing Saylor can do is shor (pun intended) up his balance sheet.&#8221;

&mdash; Martin Shkreli (@MartinShkreli) <a href="https://twitter.com/MartinShkreli/status/1873846733643669578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2024</a></blockquote>

Shkreli has been a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caDx7zhdpM0">vocal critic</a> of MicroStrategy&#8217;s widely popular Bitcoin playbook and revealed that he took short positions in the stock. He called the play a &#8220;big bubble&#8221; and predicted it to end poorly.

Why It Matters: Shkreli&#8217;s comments come amid MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy. The company has been on an 8-week buying streak, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42723691/microstrategy-drops-209-million-on-bitcoin-in-8-week-buying-blitz">latest purchase on Monday</a> taking its total holdings to 446,400 BTC, worth over $41 billion at prevailing prices.
However, the strategy, which leverages convertible debt to fund Bitcoin purchases, has drawn criticism from financial experts. Peter Schiff said last month that the company's commitment to repay convertible note holders could be at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237876/peter-schiff-predicts-microstrategys-bankruptcy-due-to-bitcoin-investment-strategy">potential risk</a> if Bitcoin drops significantly in value.
But nothing thus far has deterred Saylor&#8217;s bullish optimism. 
The firm recently announced a special shareholder meeting to vote on proposals supporting its ambitious $42 billion Bitcoin purchase plan. As part of this plan, Saylor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42665877/microstrategy-to-hold-special-shareholder-vote-to-support-the-42-billion-bitcoin-acquisition-strategy">proposed increasing the company&#8217;s authorized Class A shares</a> and the number of authorized shares of preferred stock.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $92,338.85, down 1.23% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Shares of MicroStrategy plunged 8.19% to $302.96 during Monday's regular session and dropped lower to $293.59 in after-hours trading.
The stock&#8217;s consensus price target was $449.5 based on 12 analyst recommendations, with an average price target of $546.67 from Bernstein, TD Cowen, and Barclays.

'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli Predicts Liquidation Doom For MicroStrategy Amid Fall Below $300, Says Bitcoin Will Hit $250K Without Michael Saylor

Leading digital asset manager Grayscale Investments broadened its Top 20 list of cryptocurrencies on Monday by adding six new tokens with strong growth potential for the upcoming quarter.
What Happened: Grayscale <a href="https://www.grayscale.com/research/market-commentary/grayscale-research-insights-crypto-sectors-in-q1-2025">added </a>Layer-1 blockchain token Hyperliquid (HYPE), decentralized stablecoin protocol Ethena (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">ENA</a>), AI agent creator Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), decentralized exchange Jupiter (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">JUP</a>), liquid staking protocol Jito (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">JTO</a>), and decentralized data network Grass (GRASS) to the list, which it publishes every quarter.
Interestingly, VIRTUAL has been the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42717267/2024s-cryptocurrency-champions-these-top-performers-surpass-bitcoin-in-a-year-of-unprecedented-gains">market&#8217;s best performer in 2024</a>, with year-to-date gains of 26043%. Additionally, ENA has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42500884/trump-backed-world-liberty-financials-purchases-trigger-strong-rally-in-these-defi-tokens">heavily accumulated</a> by President-elect Donald Trump-backed platform World Liberty Financial.
The asset manager said it considered metrics like network adoption, upcoming catalysts, sustainability of fundamentals, token valuation, token supply inflation, and potential tail risks for the inclusion.
Grayscale added that the focus was on assets that touched on themes like the U.S. election and its potential impact on cryptocurrency regulation, decentralized AI technology, and growth in the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) ecosystem.

The &#8216;Top 20&#8217; list consisted of a diversified set of assets spanning different cryptocurrency sectors, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Chainlink (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/link/usd">LINK</a>), and Uniswap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/uni/usd">UNI</a>).
Why It Matters: This decision by Grayscale Research comes in the wake of a transformative forecast for the cryptocurrency industry in 2025. According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42724952/2025-outlook-bitcoin-to-150000-ethereum-to-5500-dogecoin-hits-1-galaxy-research-predicts">study</a>&nbsp;by Galaxy Research, the industry is set for significant advances in adoption, infrastructure, and regulatory clarity. 
The research predicted Bitcoin to surpass $150,000 in the first half of 2025, potentially reaching or exceeding $185,000 by the fourth quarter.
The inclusion of these new tokens implied the growing potential of assets tied to decentralized finance and AI, as well as the weight attached to assets that provide utility. 
Price Action: At the time of writing, all of these new entrants to the &#8216;Top 20&#8217; list were down in the 24-hour period, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump-Backed Platform's Pick, Year's Chart Topper: 6 New Cryptos Added To Grayscale's 'Top 20' List With Growth Potential In Q1 2025

On Monday, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives unveiled his top 10 tech winners for the AI revolution into 2025, leaving two major Magnificent 7 players notably absent from the list.
What Happened:&nbsp; In his post, Ives said that the companies are poised to ride the wave of a $2 trillion AI capital expenditure boom over the next three years.

"We expect tech stocks to be up 25% in 2025," Ives stated, adding that it will be bolstered by "a goldilocks foundation for Big Tech and Tesla" and reduced regulatory hurdles under a Donald Trump-led administration.
Ives also cautioned about potential "white-knuckle moments" in 2025, citing concerns around Fed actions, China trade dynamics, and stretched valuations.
However, he said, &#8220;This will create the opportunities to own the tech theme and key names which has been our core investing tech playbook the last 2 years.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Apple currently leads the market with an impressive valuation of $3.812 trillion, and its stock has surged by 35.85% year-to-date.
Cupertino introduced Apple Intelligence this year, a robust collection of AI tools and features designed to greatly improve the user experience on its devices.

Palantir, Salesforce, And Snowflake Made The Cut, But 2 'Magnificent 7' Giants Left Out From Dan Ives' Top 10 Tech Winners For The AI Revolution In 2025 List

New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu predicts 2025 will mark the beginning of a new artificial intelligence era, citing breakthrough developments in Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/10/41449625/tesla-or-google-who-will-steer-the-future-of-self-driving">Full Self-Driving technology</a> and OpenAI&#8217;s latest O3 model.
What Happened: In a detailed research note, Ferragu emphasizes the remarkable performance of OpenAI&#8217;s O3 model on the Advanced Reasoning Corpus &#8211; Artificial General Intelligence benchmark, a testing framework that assesses the reasoning and problem-solving abilities of AI systems. 
The model achieved an impressive 87.5% score, nearing human-level capabilities and marking a substantial improvement over previous AI models, which typically scored below 10%.
&#8220;This is not merely incremental improvement, but a genuine breakthrough, marking a qualitative shift in AI capabilities,&#8221; says François Chollet, founder of the ARC-AGI foundation, as quoted in the research report.
The O3 model, set for release in January, demonstrates remarkable improvements across multiple benchmarks. It achieved a 71.7% accuracy in software engineering tasks, matching human professional performance, and scored 2,727 Elo in competitive coding, surpassing many expert programmers.
&#8220;Between FSD v13.2.2 driving me around with literally no intervention and o3 scoring 88% at ARC-AGI, I do believe the inflection is now. 2025 will be year zero of the AI era,&#8221; Ferragu wrote on X.

Why It Matters: However, these advances come with substantial computational costs. The high-performance version of O3 requires approximately 2,000 times more computing power than its predecessor, with a single AGI task costing about $3,500 to process.
Ferragu suggests this breakthrough has significant implications for AI infrastructure providers. &#8220;We likely are still only at the very beginning of the growth curve for AI infrastructure and its supply chain,&#8221; he notes, indicating potential investment opportunities in the sector.
While O3 represents a major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42712683/openai-lays-out-its-for-profit-transition-plans-says-it-must-evolve-to-advance-its-agi-mission">step toward Artificial General Intelligence</a>, Ferragu clarifies it hasn&#8217;t achieved full AGI status yet. The model is expected to face challenges with next-generation tests, where estimates suggest it may not exceed 25% accuracy.

What Happened: Bitcoin had a bumpy morning, dipping to a low of $91,317 in early trade, recovering to highs of $94,000 late in the afternoon, and then retreating to $92,000 by evening.
Since the surge to $99,000 on Christmas, the leading cryptocurrency has slipped as much as 6.5%.
Ethereum dipped below $3,400, extending its weekly losses to 2.40%.&nbsp;
The downward market triggered $283 million worth of liquidations in the last 24 hours, with bullish bets worth nearly $200 million getting wiped out.
That said, Bitcoin's rebound to $100,000 from here could liquidate $687 million in short positions.
About 67% of all traders on Binance were levered long on Bitcoin, according to the Long/Short Ratio indicator, indicating expectations of a rebound.
The "Greed" sentiment cooled further from 65 to 64, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Influential cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez weighed in on Bitcoin's corrective action.
"Bitcoin below $93,000 is a problem because, as you can see, there isn&#8217;t enough significant support below it," Ali said, pointing to fewer addresses that purchased the cryptocurrency at prices below $93,000.

Bitcoin Falls Below $93K, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip Ahead Of New Year: Top Analyst Anticipates 'Problem' For BTC

Influential economist Mohamed El-Erian recently pointed out the stark contrast between US &#8220;economic exceptionalism&#8221; and the struggles of lower-income households in what he calls a &#8220;K economy.&#8221;
What Happened: On Monday, El-Erian posted a comment and shared a story from the front page of the Financial Times, highlighting the growing economic disparity in the United States. He noted that while the US economy is exceptional in many ways, it has also led to a &#8220;K economy&#8221; where lower-income households face significant and increasing challenges.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">This is from the front page of today&#39;s <a href="https://twitter.com/FT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FT</a>. It is a reminder that, from a distributional perspective, US &quot;economic exceptionalism&quot; has been accompanied by what many have called a &quot;K economy&quot; in which lower-income households face considerable and mounting challenges. <a href="https://t.co/0HL08g8nMJ">pic.twitter.com/0HL08g8nMJ</a>
&mdash; Mohamed A. El-Erian (@elerianm) <a href="https://twitter.com/elerianm/status/1873726565982617611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
El-Erian&#8217;s post comes in the context of a recent report on the surge in US credit card defaults, which have reached their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. 
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42711387/wall-streets-santa-rally-at-risk-palantir-dethrones-nvidia-consumer-confidence-pulls-back-this-week-in-the-markets?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wall Street&#8217;s Santa Rally At Risk, Palantir Dethrones Nvidia, Consumer Confidence Pulls Back: This Week In The Markets</a>
Why It Matters: This situation underscores the financial strain on lower-income households, which El-Erian refers to in his &#8220;K economy&#8221; comment. The term &#8220;K economy&#8221; refers to a situation where the wealthy continue to prosper while the less affluent struggle, creating a divide that resembles the letter &#8216;K.&#8217; Traditionally the economy is viewed as &#8216;V&#8217; shaped with even ups and downs.
Credit card lenders wrote off a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42721109/mark-cuban-once-said-credit-card-users-dont-want-to-be-rich-now-us-credit-card-defaults-have-skyrocketed-to-highest-levels-since-2008-financial-crisis">staggering $46 billion</a>&nbsp;in seriously delinquent loan balances&nbsp;during&nbsp;the first nine months of&nbsp;2024. This figure, representing a 50% increase&nbsp;from the same period in&nbsp;2023, is the highest&nbsp;in 14 years, according to&nbsp;data from BankRegData.
Mark Zandi, the head of Moody's Analytics, stated,&nbsp;"High-income households are fine, but&nbsp;the bottom third of US&nbsp;consumers are tapped out. Their&nbsp;savings rate right now is&nbsp;zero."
The rise in defaults underscores the strain on consumers&#8217; personal finances following years of high inflation and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s policy of maintaining elevated borrowing costs. Early indicators suggest a growing number of&nbsp;defaults on consumer debt.
Capital One, the third-largest credit card lender in the US, reported its annualized credit card write-off rate hit 6.1% as of November, up from 5.2% a year ago.
Odysseas Papadimitriou, head of consumer&nbsp;credit research firm WalletHub, noted,&nbsp;"Consumer spending power has been&nbsp;diminished." Despite nearly $60 billion&nbsp;in consumer credit card debt&nbsp;being written off&nbsp;in the past year, another&nbsp;$37 billion remains overdue by at least one month.

El-Erian Warns Of Hidden Crisis In 'Exceptional' US Economy As Lower Income Households Face 'Considerable' Challenges

U.S. stock markets experienced a downturn today, with the S&amp;P 500 declining by 1.07%. The NASDAQ also saw a decrease, falling by almost 1.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined almost 1%. Despite these indices in the red, certain stocks captured significant attention from investors.

Bill Ackman Sets Off Fannie Mae Buzz — Boeing, MicroCloud Hologram, MicroStrategy, Tesla Also On Investors' Radars Today

A South Korean court has approved the detainment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his imposition of martial law earlier in the month.
What Happened: On Tuesday (local time), the Seoul Western District Court issued a warrant against Yoon on charges of masterminding a failed martial law declaration, orchestrating an insurrection, and abusing power, according to <a href="https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2024/12/356_389449.html">The Korea Times</a> report. The Corruption Investigation Office applied for the warrant after Yoon ignored three requests for an appearance from the anti-corruption agency for questioning.
The court warrant grants the CIO 48 hours to detain Yoon for questioning and seek an arrest warrant. However, the Presidential Security Service has blocked investigators from accessing both the presidential office compound and Yoon&#8217;s official residence, citing concerns over military security.
Although Yoon has presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, this protection does not extend to charges of insurrection or treason. Yoon&#8217;s defense team contends that the CIO does not have the legal authority to investigate insurrection, a charge that, under the current system, falls within the investigative jurisdiction of the police.
Yoon was suspended from his duties after the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach him on December 14 for imposing martial law, which was overturned by a parliamentary vote just six hours later. The Constitutional Court has initiated proceedings to decide whether to remove the incumbent from office or reinstate him, with a ruling expected within 180 days beginning Dec. 14.

Why It Matters: The impeachment and potential arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol is the culmination of a series of events that started with his controversial&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42292488/south-korean-etfs-slide-on-presidents-emergency-martial-law-declaration-protect-the-constitutional-democratic-order">declaration of martial law</a>&nbsp;on Dec. 3. This move, which Yoon justified as a measure against anti-state activities, led to a significant drop in South Korean ETFs and widespread protests across the country.
In mid-December, South Korean lawmakers, including several members of Yoon&#8217;s own People Power Party (PPP), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42497084/south-korean-lawmakers-impeach-yoon-over-martial-law-attempt">voted to impeach him</a> over his martial law attempt. The Constitutional Court now has 180 days to ratify the impeachment, which could result in Yoon&#8217;s removal from office.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index was seen trading lower by 0.22% at 2,399.49 at the time of writing. Shares of major South Korean companies like Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) and Hyundai Motor Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) were in the red. Korean memory giant SK Hynix Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXSCL#OTC">HXSCL</a>) also traded lower in Seoul.

The private space industry had a breakout year in 2024 and the upward trend looks poised to continue into 2025. Here's a look at the trends that could shape the future of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/12/42717337/spacex-kicks-off-post-christmas-operations-with-double-launch-eyes-134-missions-in-2024">the space industry.&nbsp;</a>
Trump Catalyst: Investors are gearing up for incoming President Donald Trump who oversaw the establishment of NASA's Artemis program, the re-launch of the National Space Council and the creation of the Space Force during his first term in office.&nbsp;
James Bruegger, chief investment officer of Seraphim Space, also sees space being a focus of the second Trump administration, especially in the face of China's "increasing assertiveness" in space technology.

Communication Satellites: Bruegger also said he expects 2025 to be the year that direct-to-device satellite connectivity goes mainstream and pointed to Apple's recent $1.5 billion investment in Globalstar as an example.&nbsp;
AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>) is building a cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices and could benefit from other carriers looking to space to improve connectivity. The company recently announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42390726/ast-spacemobile-secures-long-term-vodafone-deal-to-boost-global-coverage">a partnership</a> with Vodaphone to expand the carrier's global broadband connectivity. 
Market Interest: Investors showed growing interest in private space companies in 2024 and Bruegger expects the trend to continue into 2025. He pointed to Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) as one of the most valuable private space companies with a market cap of $13.61 billion as of Monday. Rocket Lab shares have gained more than 375% in 2024. 
Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>) is another space company to watch in the new year. The company successfully landed its Odysseus lunar lander on the moon in February 2024 to become the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the surface of the moon since the end of the Apollo era in the 1970s. 
The company is positioned for continued growth in 2025 with long-term NASA contracts and two new contract awards from NASA's Near Space Network <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42647377/intuitive-machines-stock-is-moving-higher-monday-whats-going-on">announced</a> last week. Intuitive Machines shares are up over 640% this year.&nbsp;
"As we look ahead to 2025, we expect it to be once again a stellar year for SpaceTech," Bruegger said.&nbsp;

Space Industry To See Another 'Stellar Year' In 2025, Investor Says

Legendary investor Warren Buffett is best known for stocks he has bought over the years and his gains for Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) investors. He's also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41418702/warren-buffetts-words-of-wisdom-benzinga-readers-pick-their-favorite-oracle-of-omaha-quote">known for quotes</a> that can be applied to investing and life.
Here's a look back at Buffett's take on the importance of reputation.
What Happened: Buffett has many highlights during his lengthy career leading Berkshire Hathaway, but one of the lower moments almost occurred<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/16/09/8483241/warren-buffett-weathered-the-salomon-brothers-scandal-whats-that-mean-for-wells-f"> due to an investment </a>in investment bank Salomon Brothers.
Berkshire bought a 12% stake in the company in the 1980s and a scandal at the firm over treasury bonds almost took the company under and led to Buffett stepping in as interim chairman and CEO of the company.
In September 1991, Buffett <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u7-UNSkr4o">testified </a>before the House Commerce subcommittee in Washington D.C. and shared that he asked every Salomon Brothers employee to be their own compliance officer.
He also asked for two key demands from employees with the first one being that they obey all rules and ask themselves if they're willing to appear on the front page of the newspaper and have their work accomplishments read by their spouses and kids.
If they followed this rule, Buffett was pretty confident they could ignore his second demand.
"Lose money for the firm and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless," Buffett said in the hearing.
Salomon Brothers was later <a href="https://archive.nytimes.com/dealbook.nytimes.com/2008/09/24/warren-buffett-and-the-salomon-saga/">acquired </a>by Travelers Group, netting a profit for Berkshire Hathaway and showing how Buffett helped saved the company. 
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42490690/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Buffett has used the Salomon Brothers case as an important learning lesson over the years when discussing the newspaper test and the value of reputation.
Salomon Brothers knew one of their employees was a bad actor and didn't report and kept trying to shove the story away, before coming within inches of destroying the company, Buffett once said.
Buffett said all the company had to do was pick up the phone and report the trading activity but instead former Salomon CEO John Gutfreund, who was once called the "King of Wall Street," destroyed his career.
One of Buffett's most important lessons he tells his managers revolves around the concept of reputation.
"We can afford to lose money, even a lot of money. We can't afford to lose reputation. Even a shred of reputation. Let's be sure that everything we do in business can be reported on the front page of a national newspaper," Buffett <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5_vvcnFCgM">said </a>in another interview.
In the interview, Buffett mentioned that Berkshire Hathaway had been named one of the most admired companies in the world, something that took 37 years to accomplish.
"We could lose it in 37 minutes and that's the message."
Buffett said that once reputation is lost, you may not get it back.
"Can lose it in five minutes."
A strong focus on reputation could be among the reasons why Berkshire Hathaway has stood the test of time and Buffett has been able to spot good CEOs and companies to invest in.

Warren Buffett's Chilling Warning To Employees: 'Lose A Shred Of Reputation For The Firm And I Will Be Ruthless'

Kevin O'Leary, chairman of O'Leary Ventures and a prominent investor on Shark Tank, was straightforward during a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pS2TdlwT7Q">interview</a> on Fox Business. He firmly declared that it was time to stop treating China as a developing nation, calling the status outdated and unfair. O'Leary also warned that China is engaged in what he described as &#8220;an economic war with us.&#8221;
The investor pointed out a significant issue with how the World Trade Organization (WTO) designates China as a developing nation. This classification allows China to receive special benefits, including sweetheart loans that O'Leary says American taxpayers partially fund. He stated bluntly, "China is not a developing nation. They're at economic war with us and European countries."

O'Leary explained that these benefits have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40544141/they-have-screwed-me-over-the-last-12-years-says-kevin-oleary-cheers-for-tariffs-squeeze-chinese-hea">given China an unfair advantage</a> for decades. "Forty years of getting screwed, that's what happened," he said, highlighting how the U.S. and other nations have essentially subsidized China's rise while their economies have faced challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Hardline Stance on Trade</h2>
O'Leary shared his frustrations as a business owner who has faced what he described as unfair practices by China. "They don't play by the rules; there's nothing reciprocal in our relations," he said. For O'Leary, the solution is clear: hit China where it hurts most – their economy. He argued that the only way to get China's attention is through "very selected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41417400/kevin-oleary-calls-for-400-tariffs-on-china-but-his-shark-tank-co-star-and-billionaire-investor-mark">high-impact weaponry like tariffs</a>."
According to O'Leary, imposing tariffs on sectors critical to Chinese employment could force the government to rethink its approach. "If you want to mess with the largest economy that you trade with, we will force a lot of people that make yoga mats or electronics or whatever else it is to be unemployed in your city," he said. "They'll be rioting in the streets, and you'll be out of power."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Time to Get Tough</h2>
O'Leary expressed hope that the future administration would address the problem head-on. He underscored the importance of a hard-line approach, saying, "You gotta be hard core. [President Xi] only understands the stick. That's all he understands."
O'Leary's comments reflected his belief that the U.S. has been too lenient with China for far too long. He blamed previous administrations – Democratic and Republican – for continuing this scenario. "When there's a Democrat in the White House, they go right along," he said, pointing to a history of inaction.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Travelers Companies Stock In The Last 20 Years

The U.S. Treasury Department announced on Monday it was targeted by a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group that gained unauthorized access to government workstations and unclassified documents. This revelation, detailed in a letter reviewed <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/12/30/treasury-hack-china-national-security/">by</a>&nbsp;The Washington Post, highlights significant vulnerabilities in federal cybersecurity infrastructure.
The breach was discovered on Dec. 8, when BeyondTrust, a third-party software provider, notified the department that a hacker had exploited a security key. This key enabled the intruder to bypass critical security protocols and infiltrate Treasury Department office workstations, gaining access to sensitive but unclassified documents stored on them. The Treasury Department subsequently classified the incident as a &#8220;major incident,&#8221; aligning with its policy of treating nation-state cyber intrusions as significant threats.
Treasury officials are working with law enforcement and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a Treasury spokesperson said in a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/30/investing/china-hackers-treasury-workstations/index.html">statement to</a> CNN, and that the compromised service has been taken offline.
"There is no evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury systems or information," the Treasury spokesperson said, per CNN.

The hack underscores escalating cyber threats from foreign actors, particularly China, which has been implicated in several high-profile cyber intrusions targeting U.S. government and private sector systems. 
The breach also raises questions about the reliance on third-party software providers for critical operations and the adequacy of existing security protocols. Experts warn that such intrusions could potentially compromise sensitive government data and disrupt essential services, underscoring the need for robust cybersecurity strategies and increased investments in digital defense mechanisms.
