Demand for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence-enabled</a> smartphones could serve as a buffer for parts of the semiconductor industry against a potential slowdown in data center investments, Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/54c3d188-9c5d-4664-94c4-366207ef9aad" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> Doug Lefever, CEO of Advantest, a Japanese supplier of chip testing equipment for Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Lefever expressed concern over possible dips in spending by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41066968/microsoft-google-meta-pave-path-to-ai-expansion-nvidia-and-broadcom-set-to-reap-benefits" rel="noreferrer noopener">major U.S. tech companies</a>, such as Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Alphabet Inc (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, and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), which have been driving the construction of advanced data centers.
Lefever told the FT that while fluctuations in data center spending may not last long, any decline could significantly disrupt the semiconductor supply chain due to its reliance on hyperscalers.

He added that the industry&#8217;s cyclical nature could lead to what he described as &#8220;vicious&#8221; downturns. However, he remained optimistic about the potential growth of AI smartphones, suggesting that a breakthrough application could rapidly drive consumer demand and spark a wave of handset replacements.
Advantest, headquartered in Tokyo, holds over 50% of the semiconductor testing market and has benefited from the rising complexity and cost of chips.
Lefever highlighted the growing complexity of chip testing, with Nvidia&#8217;s latest Blackwell products requiring three to four times longer to test than previous generations, as a key driver of sustained demand for Advantest&#8217;s solutions.
The company&#8217;s success extends to high-end testing equipment, which costs $1 million per unit and boasts a market share exceeding 60% in specific categories. Despite geopolitical challenges, such as U.S. restrictions on China, Lefever told the FT that increased demand elsewhere quickly offset lost sales in China. He emphasized that Advantest remains well-positioned globally, with operations in 18 countries and a diversified customer base.

NIO Reveals Repurchase Right Notification For 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2027

BYD Co Ltd&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) contractor Jinjiang Group on Thursday said that the Brazilian authority&#8217;s portrayal of its employees working at the Chinese EV giant&#8217;s factory in Brazil as &#8220;enslaved&#8221; is &#8220;completely inconsistent with facts.&#8221;
What Happened: Jinjiang said that their workers were unjustly labeled as enslaved, making them feel insulted.
"Being unjustly labeled as ‘enslaved' has made our employees feel that their dignity has been insulted and their human rights violated, seriously hurting the dignity of the Chinese people. We have signed a joint letter to express our true feelings," Jinjiang said on Weibo, as translated by Reuters news agency.
Lin Yunfei, general manager of branding and public relations at BYD, also reposted the statement. Yunfei also alleged that the allegations are an attempt by &#8220;foreign forces&#8221; to smear Chinese brands and the country.
"In the matter of smearing Chinese brands, smearing China, and attempting to undermine the friendship between China and Brazil, we have seen how relevant foreign forces maliciously associate and deliberately smear," Yunfei said in a post on Weibo.
BYD did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: Brazilian authorities said on Monday that they have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42667814/brazil-authorities-halt-work-at-byd-factory-site-after-workers-found-in-slavery-like-conditions">halted the construction of the plant that BYD&nbsp;is building in Salvador</a>, Bahia after finding workers living and working in conditions analogous to "slavery."
Authorities ordered that the construction of the factory in Bahia be stopped after rescuing 163 people working at the site, according to a statement by the Labor Prosecutor's Office (MPT).
The authorities shut down the workers' lodgings and communicated the same to both BYD and construction firm Jinjiang Construction Brazil Ltd, one of the contractors hired by the company to carry out the construction, it added.
The MPT also noted that the conditions constituted "forced labor." If a worker were to terminate their employment contract after six months, they would leave the country without any pay for their work since the company deducted their airfare to and from Brazil, in addition to other costs, the statement said.
BYD was planning to start production at the factory in Brazil in 2025.

Tesla, Toyota And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) is reportedly close to merging its South Korean operations with E-Mart Inc. in a deal valued at approximately $4 billion. This strategic move aims to bolster their position in South Korea&#8217;s competitive online retail market.
What Happened: The potential joint venture would combine the e-commerce assets of both companies, creating a stronger entity to challenge local competitors like Naver Corp. and Coupang Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPNG#NYSE">CPNG</a>). Discussions are ongoing, and while an announcement could come as soon as this week, finalizing the agreement may take longer, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-26/alibaba-is-said-to-near-4-billion-deal-with-korea-s-e-mart">reported</a> on Thursday.
The merger comes as Alibaba seeks to expand its international presence amid slowing growth in its core Chinese market. Meanwhile, E-Mart has been actively growing its e-commerce segment, notably acquiring a controlling interest in eBay Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) South Korean marketplace in 2021 for roughly $3 billion.
Neither Alibaba nor E-Mart has commented on the matter yet to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>.

This development occurs against a backdrop of declining consumer confidence in South Korea, impacted by political instability following President Yoon Suk Yeol&#8217;s&nbsp;declaration of martial law and&nbsp;subsequent impeachment.
Why It Matters: The potential merger between Alibaba and E-Mart is part of Alibaba&#8217;s broader strategy to refocus on its core e-commerce operations. Earlier this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36912036/alibaba-plans-to-sell-off-grocery-and-retail-assets-doubles-down-on-e-commerce-core">Alibaba announced plans</a>&nbsp;to divest several consumer sector assets, including its grocery business Freshippo and retailer RT-Mart. This move aligns with the company&#8217;s strategic pivot under Chairman Joe Tsai and CEO Eddie Wu, aiming to shed non-essential and unprofitable units.
Moreover, Alibaba&#8217;s recent investment of $71.4 million in South Korean apparel brand Ably Corp has turned it into the country&#8217;s first unicorn of 2024, highlighting Alibaba&#8217;s growing interest in the South Korean market. This investment valued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42260627/south-korea-gets-its-first-unicorn-of-2024-as-china-based-alibaba-invests-714m-in-ably-corp">Ably at over $1 billion</a>, marking a significant increase from its previous valuation.

Alibaba Nears $4B E-Commerce Merger With South Korea's E-Mart: Report

Peter Thiel, former CEO of PayPal, once shared his perspective on the evolving role of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on math skills.
What Happened: In April, earlier this year, speaking on the &#8220;Conversations with Tyler&#8221; podcast, Thiel suggested that AI&#8217;s rise could reduce the emphasis on math proficiency, as AI systems can solve complex mathematical problems.
The billionaire expressed concerns about Silicon Valley&#8217;s heavy focus on math, describing it as an unstable trend. He questioned the link between math skills and other fields, such as neurosurgery, and proposed that AI could lead to a societal transformation.&nbsp;

Thiel likened this potential change to the impact of IBM&#8217;s Deep Blue defeating chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, which altered perceptions of chess skills.
&#8220;Isn&#8217;t that what&#8217;s going to happen to math and isn&#8217;t that a long overdue rebalancing of our society,&#8221; he stated.
His remarks suggest a possible rebalancing in society, where math may no longer be the primary measure of ability.

Why It Matters: The integration of AI into everyday tasks is already underway.
Acquired by Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s subsidiary Google a year ago, Photomath already helps users <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/03/37475397/solve-math-problems-easily-at-home-with-googles-ai-a-step-by-step-guide-to-using-photomath">solve complex math problems</a>, from basic arithmetic to advanced calculus.
Earlier this year, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd also made strides in AI with its Qwen2-Math models. These models reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40311463/alibabas-new-math-ai-models-outshine-us-counterparts-report">outperformed U.S. counterparts</a> in mathematical tasks.
Last year in March, OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT, with the Wolfram plug-in, scored 96% on the U.K. A-level math exam, a key benchmark for university admissions. In comparison, ChatGPT alone scored just 43%.
Experts also remain skeptical that AI will replace mathematicians in the near future, according to a June 2023 <a href="https://www.scmp.com/video/technology/3223174/ai-better-maths-mathematicians">report</a> by the South China Morning Post.

Peter Thiel Once Said He Would Bet On The Reversal Of Silicon Valley's Math Bias As AI Continues To Rise: 'Isn't That A Long Overdue Rebalancing Of Our Society'

Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) overtook its American rival Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the fourth quarter of 2023 as the world&#8217;s biggest battery electric vehicle seller. Tesla, however, took back the title in the first quarter of this year and has been holding on to it since.
What Happened: In the last quarter of 2023, BYD sold 526,409 battery electric vehicles, effectively replacing Tesla as the world&#8217;s biggest seller of BEVs. Tesla in that quarter delivered just 484,507 units. 
Tesla regained its position as the world&#8217;s top seller of BEVs in the first quarter after selling 386,810 BEVs, 86,696 units more than BYD. Unlike Tesla which sells only battery electric vehicles, BYD also makes plug-in hybrids.

In Q2 and Q3 this year, Tesla kept its lead ahead of BYD in global BEV deliveries despite hardships. 
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42259569/chinese-ev-behemoth-and-tesla-rival-byd-marks-68-growth-in-november-sales-on-rising-popularity-of-plug-in-hybrid-evs">October and November</a>, BYD cumulatively sold 387,679 battery-electric vehicles. The company now needs to sell around 112,400 BEVs in December to cross 500,000 BEV sales in a quarter yet again. 
As for Tesla, it is unclear how many vehicles the company has sold thus far this quarter given it only releases sales data at the end of every three months.
For the full year 2023, Tesla delivered 1,808,581 vehicles around the globe. To mark a growth over last year, the company has to deliver at least 514,926 vehicles in the three months through the end of December. Tesla has not delivered over 500,000 vehicles in a quarter to date, making this an ambitious target. 
Furthermore, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), the company is faced with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42571913/tesla-registrations-drop-by-nearly-41-in-november-in-eu-dragging-down-optimism-for-over-500000-ev-deliveries-in-q4">demand challenges in the European Union</a> which might weigh heavily upon the company&#8217;s annual delivery target. 
Financials: 
For the third quarter between July and September, BYD's operating revenue rose 24% to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41647639/teslas-chinese-rival-byd-outshines-elon-musks-ev-giant-in-quarterly-revenue-for-first-time-since-202" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">201.12 billion yuan ($27.55 billion)</a>, the company said in a filing.
Tesla, meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501607/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-eps-beat-revenue-miss-shares-climb-on-2025-timeline-for-lower-cost-evs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported a total revenue</a>&nbsp;of only $25.18 billion in the same quarter, making it the first time since 2022 that BYD has trumped&nbsp;Elon Musk&#8217;s&nbsp;EV giant in quarterly revenue. BYD stopped making combustion engine vehicles in March 2022 to focus on electric vehicles.
Despite reporting higher revenue than Tesla in the third quarter, BYD&#8217;s net profit continued to trail behind<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501607/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-eps-beat-revenue-miss-shares-climb-on-2025-timeline-for-lower-cost-evs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Tesla&#8217;s net income of $2.167 billion</a>. The company reported a diluted earnings per share of 4 yuan (55 cents) for the quarter, lower than Tesla&#8217;s adjusted earnings per share of 72 cents.

ETF Managers Announces Appointment of New Sponsor of ETF Managers Group Commodity Trust I

항만 노동자들은 화요일에 화물 후크를 내려놓을 것으로 예상되며, 이로 인해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41086120/us-market-soars-after-fed-rate-cut-but-chartist-warns-of-potential-stock-plunge-citing-this-clas">미국의 가장 바쁜 항구들</a>의 활동이 중단될 가능성이 있다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 뉴욕 타임스에 <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/business/port-strike-dockworkers.html">따르면</a>, 동부 및 걸프 해안에서 고용주와의 노조 대결로 인해 수십억 달러 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41097541/amazon-apple-tesla-brace-for-supply-chain-disruptions-as-potential-east-coast-dockworkers-strike">상당의 화물을 중단</a>시킬 수 있으며, 이로 인해 휴가를 앞두고 쇼핑이 복잡해질 수 있다.
1977년 이후로 이렇게 큰 파업을 주도한 적이 없는 국제항만노동자협회(ILA)는 이번에는 레버리지를 가지고 있다. 팀스터스(Teamster)와 전미 자동차노조(UAW)와 같은 대규모 노조의 최근 노동 승리가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/10/35492334/gm-uaw-reach-tentative-agreement-potentially-putting-an-end-to-costly-6-week-strike">높은 기준을 설정했다</a>.
항만 노동자들은 이제 자신들의 몫을 요구하고 있다.
임금 인상 요구 외에도, 항만 노동자들은 작업 공간에 들어오는 노동 절감 기술에 대해서도 우려하고 있다.
파업이 경제에 하루에 수십억 달러의 비용을 초래할 수 있기 때문에, 조 바이든 대통령이 1947년 법을 사용하여 항만 노동자들을 다시 일하게 만들 수 있다.
하지만 지난해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34922731/biden-makes-historic-visit-to-auto-worker-picket-line-tells-union-to-you-deserve-raise">UAW 파업을 지지한</a> 바이든은 일요일에 항만 노동자 파업에 개입하지 않겠다고 <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?538805-1/president-biden-speaks-reporters-dover-air-force-base">말했다</a>.
고용주를 대표하는 미국해양협회(USMX)는 ILA와의 임금 및 복지 문제로 수개월 간 대치 중이다.
노조는 향후 6년간 시간당 5달러의 인상을 요구하고 있다. 이는 최고 시급을 69달러로 끌어올리는 것이며, 현재 39달러에서 큰 인상이다.
이를 2027년까지 시간당 60.85달러를 벌어들이게 될 서부 해안의 동료들과 비교해 보면 ILA가 왜 부족하다고 느끼는지 쉽게 알 수 있다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41012532/chinas-exports-at-risk-from-anticipated-us-port-strikes-typhoons-golden-week-warns-container-trade-e">예상되는 미국 항구 파업, 태풍, 골든 위크로 인한 중국 수출 위험</a>
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): ILA의 47,000명 회원들은 미국 컨테이너 물동량의 3분의 2를 처리한다.
많은 기업들이 파업 가능성을 우려하여 화요일 이전에 화물을 항구를 통해 통과시키기 위해 분주하게 움직였다.
일부 화물은 여전히 바다에 억류되어 있어, 지연은 불가피하다. 보도에 따르면, 적체 문제는 파업이 짧더라도 몇 주 걸릴 수 있다.
MHW Ltd.를 포함한 여러 유통업체들은 파업이 추수감사절에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 우려하고 있다. MHW의 최고 운영 책임자 존 렌(John Wrenn)은 뉴욕 타임스에 판매가 "상품이 선반에 없어서 그냥 잃어버릴 것"이라고 말했다.
서부 해안 항구는 다른 노조가 운영하고 있어 영향을 받지 않는다.
상품을 서부 해안에서 동부 해안으로 트럭으로 운반하는 것은 비용이 너무 비싸다. 이는 해결책으로 작용하기 어렵다.
ILA는 크루즈 선박의 작업에는 방해가 되지 않을 것이라고 말했다.
