Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar praised Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX&#8217;s manufacturing approaches as models for revitalizing American industrial capabilities during an appearance on The Ben Shapiro Show on Wednesday.
What Happened: &#8220;It&#8217;s not true that we&#8217;re bad at making things in this country. The ability to do that in a modern way is asymmetrically distributed,&#8221; Sankar <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zakFRqSJIpM">said</a>. &#8220;SpaceX makes so much of what they do vertically integrated internally. Tesla is a software-defined production line.&#8221;
His comments come as Palantir&#8217;s stock has surged over 312% in the past year, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42938119/lockheed-martin-donates-1m-to-trumps-inaugural-committee-as-speculation-grows-over-elon-musk-led-doge-crackdown-on-traditional-defense-contracts">company&#8217;s market capitalization</a> now exceeding traditional defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>). The data analytics firm has been expanding beyond its government roots, with commercial revenue now representing 50% of its business.
Sankar criticized current manufacturing approaches, particularly in supply chain management. &#8220;When I interact with these companies, their understanding of their supply chain is very shallow. They treat it as a black box,&#8221; he said, contrasting this with Elon Musk&#8216;s comprehensive approach at his companies.

Why It Matters: The CTO&#8217;s remarks align with recent developments in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42356725/alex-karp-supports-doge-as-trump-taps-palantirs-shyam-shankar-for-border-security-role-cannot-have-a-better-person-than-musk">Palantir&#8217;s strategic direction</a>. CEO Alex Karp has emphasized the company&#8217;s evolution into an AI powerhouse, particularly in military applications. The company recently partnered with Amazon Web Services to provide Anthropic&#8217;s Claude AI models to U.S. intelligence agencies.
Addressing defense capabilities, Sankar highlighted concerning gaps in U.S. military readiness. &#8220;If you look at the amount of weapons we have on hand to fight China, war games put it at 8 days. It should be closer to 800 days,&#8221; he warned, citing the Ukraine conflict as evidence of production shortfalls.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives projects 2025 as a breakthrough year for Palantir&#8217;s AI platform, as the company continues to integrate advanced manufacturing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42696805/palantir-touted-as-next-oracle-by-dan-ives-here-is-why-the-wedbush-analyst-called-the-company-a-table-pounder">artificial intelligence capabilities</a> across both government and commercial sectors.

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is currently offering discounts of up to $2,000 on new non-foundation series Cybertrucks listed in its U.S. inventory.
What Happened: Tesla&#8217;s website now shows multiple new non-Foundation series Cybertrucks listed with as much as a $2000 discount. The discount on demo vehicles goes up to $3,510.
A new non-foundation series Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive variant starts at $78,390 on the inventory website and a demo vehicle with 961 miles on the odometer at $77,360. 
The offers are significantly higher on the more premium Cyberbeast variant. While a demo Cyberbeast with 1,138 miles on the odometer starts at $96,480, a new vehicle starts at $97,990. 
Why It Matters: The Cybertruck is one of Tesla&#8217;s more premium offerings. The vehicle starts at $79,990 for the base all-wheel drive variant and at $99,990 for the more premium Cyberbeast variant. 
According to data from automotive research firm Kelley Blue Book, the Cybertruck was Tesla&#8217;s third best-selling vehicle in the U.S. in 2024, after its mass-market offerings Model 3 and Model Y. 
The company sold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42967593/cybertruck-sales-rise-in-2024-weighed-down-on-tesla-model-s-deliveries-in-us-shows-data">38,965 units in the 12 months through the end of December</a>, significantly higher than the number of Model S or Model X sold in the country. 
Until recently, Tesla listed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42891397/non-foundation-series-cheaper-cybertrucks-join-tesla-inventory">only foundation series Cybertrucks</a> in its inventory. The foundation series refers to a limited and pricier edition of the Cybertruck with laser-etched foundation series badges and premium accessories.
Tesla made only the foundation series Cybertrucks for the first few months of deliveries. In October, Tesla started selling the regular version of Cybertruck priced about $20,000 lower than the foundation series.

Tesla Offers Discounts Up To $2,000 On New Inventory Cybertrucks

A bill proposing a&nbsp;strategic&nbsp;Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve&nbsp;was introduced in Oklahoma on Wednesday amid a growing nationwide trend of states looking to capitalize on the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s return potential. 
What Happened: The proposed legislation, known as House Bill 1203 or&nbsp;the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act,&nbsp;was <a href="https://www.okhouse.gov/posts/news-20250115_1">introduced </a>in the Oklahoma House of Representatives&nbsp;by Rep. Cody Maynard.
The bill would allow Oklahoma&#8217;s&nbsp;pension funds and state savings&nbsp;accounts to allocate a portion&nbsp;of their assets to Bitcoin, deemed a &#8220;hedge against inflation.
The State Treasurer could invest funds in any digital asset that has averaged $500 billion in market capitalization over the previous calendar year. Currently, only Bitcoin, valued at $1.97 trillion, satisfies this requirement.
Maynard stated that the assets would be managed responsibly to meet the demands of fund managers, generate reliable returns for residents, and protect purchasing power from inflationary pressures.
"Bitcoin represents freedom from bureaucrats printing away our purchasing power," the representative added. "It is the ultimate store of value for those who believe in financial freedom and sound money principles."

Why It Matters: Oklahoma was not alone in this initiative. Several states have similar legislation pending, aiming&nbsp;to establish Bitcoin as a&nbsp;strategic reserve.
In November 2024,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41986427/pennsylvania-introduces-bitcoin-strategic-reserve-act-to-invest-up-to-700-million-in-btc">Pennsylvania</a>&nbsp;introduced the Pennsylvania Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act, which would authorize the state&#8217;s treasury to invest up to 10% of its $7 billion reserves into Bitcoin. 
A month later,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42476809/texas-joins-crypto-movement-introduces-bill-to-set-up-bitcoin-reserve">Texas</a>&nbsp;introduced a similar bill, the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, proposing the establishment of a special fund in the state treasury to hold Bitcoin as a financial asset for a minimum period of five years. 
Similarly, Ohio, North Dakota, and New Hampshire have introduced Bitcoin reserve bills.
Dennis Porter, founder of the Bitcoin advocacy group&nbsp;Satoshi Action Fund, which is helping formulate these bills, said that they were at the halfway mark to the goal of getting 12 states to introduce Bitcoin reserve legislation.

The Trump Effect? Oklahoma Joins Growing List Of States Proposing Bitcoin As Strategic Reserve Asset

Jack Dorsey&#8216;s popular Cash App digital wallet developer Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>) is expected to deliver a strong fourth quarter given its business&#8217;s general resilience and operational excellence discipline, says <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bofa-securities">BofA Securities</a>.
The BofA Analyst: Analyst, Jason Kupferberg, maintained its &#8216;buy&#8217; rating with a price objective of $115 apiece, representing a 39.62% increase from its current price levels.
The Analyst Takeaways: Identifying its top-line growth and profitability along with its potential to contribute to the U.S.-centric re-acceleration story to the best large-caps companies, BofA analyst, Kupferberg, says it is &#8220;underappreciated&#8221; by the market.
BofA remains bullish on its dual-sided ecosystem which consists of Square, which provides technology solutions for hardware and software, and the payment application Cash App. The analyst adds that Block doesn&#8217;t have the &#8220;legacy tech&#8221; overhang as compared to some of its peers.
The Rule of 40, which is a financial metric that assesses the health of a Software-as-a-Service company is expected to be achieved by 2026, reflecting enhanced profitability focus. The rule states that the company&#8217;s gross profit growth and adjusted operating income margin should add up to at least 40%. 
Expected to report its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 2, BofA thinks the company&#8217;s consensus estimates are well calibrated.
Gross payment volume (GPV), an important metric to measure the payment company&#8217;s performance, is expected to grow by 8.5% to 9.1% in the fourth quarter according to BofA and consensus street estimates.
&#8220;However, given shares have outperformed since Q3 earnings, this could limit the potential for Q4 to be a significant positive catalyst,&#8221; stated the note, dated Jan. 15.
For the first quarter of the upcoming fiscal, BofA sees some GPV headwinds from the Los Angeles wildfires and likely competition from the longer February in 2024, considering the leap year.
Additionally, the company has agreed to pay $80 million to settle allegations that violated anti-money laundering laws. This could impact the first quarter as well. According to a press release, regulators in 48 states found that it failed to adequately verify customers, report suspicious activity, and implement proper controls for high-risk accounts.

Price Action: Block's stock closed at $84.79 on Wednesday, reflecting a 2.88% increase. In after-hours trading, the stock rose by 1.07%. Over the past year, Block has experienced a notable growth of 30.13%.
The stock's 52-week range is between $99.26 and $55. With a market capitalization of $46,134 million, Block&#8217;s forward price-to-earnings ratio of 18.248 is lower as compared to the industry average of 81.740 and it has a relative strength index of 44.89, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Block has a consensus price target of $91.57, according to the 46 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SQ/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a>. The high target is $120, and the low is $46. Recent ratings by Citigroup, Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods, and Raymond James suggest a $107.67 target, implying a 25.63% upside.

Jack Dorsey's Block Eyes Over 39% Upside: BofA Says US-Centric Re-Acceleration Story Will Drive The Stock

Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) manufacturing costs for its latest iPhone lineup show promising trends for margins, according to a new Bank of America analysis.
The teardown study reveals significant cost reductions in Pro models while highlighting the company&#8217;s strategic pricing approach across its product range.
The Apple Analyst: Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan maintains a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating on Apple with a price target of $256, implying an upside of nearly 8% from Wednesday&#8217;s closing price.
The Apple Thesis: BofA&#8217;s teardown analysis reveals significant manufacturing cost improvements for iPhone 16 Pro models, while base models see increased costs.
The analyst highlights that the iPhone 16 Pro Max&#8217;s manufacturing costs are 5% lower than its predecessor, contributing approximately 320 basis points to gross margins. When adjusting for memory costs, the year-over-year savings increase to 8%.
&#8220;At Apple&#8217;s scale, these add up to meaningful savings of $3.7bn for 250mn iPhones that can be a tailwind of &gt;100 bps of product GMs when fully ramped,&#8221; noted the analysis.

Key Findings:
<ul>
<li>Main electronic assemblies make up 50% of iPhone 16 Pro Max manufacturing costs, up from 47% in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Base iPhone 16 shows a 10% increase in manufacturing costs compared to iPhone 15, primarily due to AI processing and camera improvements. When adjusted for memory costs, this increase narrows to 6%.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Potential savings of at least $10 per iPhone from insourcing the baseband modem from Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Vertical integration efforts could drive further margin improvements. The company spends approximately $250 on integrated circuits per iPhone 16 Pro Max, creating opportunities for cost savings through component insourcing.</li>
</ul>
Why It Matters: The findings support BofA&#8217;s broader thesis on Apple&#8217;s margin resilience. The bank expects strong iPhone upgrade cycles in fiscal 2025 and 2026, driven by hardware requirements for generative AI features.

Apple Stock Has Moved Up 4.2% Since iPhone 16 Launched, Analyst Says It Has Another 8% Upside As Manufacturing Cost Decline Bolsters Cupertino's Margins

President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has nominated&nbsp;Scott Bessent&nbsp;to lead the U.S. Treasury Department, and Bessent has pledged to maintain the dollar&#8217;s status as the world&#8217;s reserve currency. This commitment was made during his prepared testimony.
What Happened: Bessent, who is scheduled to appear&nbsp;before the U.S. Senate Finance&nbsp;Committee on Thursday, emphasized the importance of prioritizing productive investment over &#8220;wasteful spending&#8221; that could lead to inflation. He stressed the need to secure supply chains and carefully use sanctions to meet national security needs, Reuters&nbsp;reported on Wednesday.
&#8220;And critically, we must ensure that the U.S. dollar remains the world&#8217;s reserve currency,&#8221; he said.
Additionally,&nbsp;Bessent, a hedge fund manager, has supported Trump&#8217;s plans for higher tariffs on imports, although he did not mention China specifically in his remarks. Trump has previously threatened significant tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico.
Bessent also highlighted the necessity for Congress to make permanent the provisions of Trump&#8217;s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. He warned that failing to do so could result in a historic $4 trillion tax increase. He advocated for &#8220;pro-growth policies&#8221; to reduce the tax burden on American manufacturers, service workers, and seniors.
Bessent comments come at a time when Trump is<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42779917/trump-wont-announce-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-via-executive-order-says-analyst-he-would-likely-buy-btc-in-the-background"> reportedly exploring the possibility</a> of issuing an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Reserve (SBR). After providing substantial financial support during the 2024 election, the digital asset industry is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42701446/crypto-industry-anticipates-policy-overhaul-under-trump-administration">gearing up for a major shift in its regulatory landscape</a>. President-elect Trump, once a vocal critic of digital currencies, shifted his stance during his campaign, becoming the first presidential candidate to accept donations in digital assets.
Why It Matters: Bessent&#8217;s nomination comes at a time when the dollar&#8217;s role as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43019785/trump-treasury-nominee-pledges-to-maintain-dollars-global-reserve-status-outlines-vision-for-new-economic-golden-age">global reserve currency </a>is under scrutiny. His commitment to maintaining this status aligns with his vision for a &#8220;new economic golden age,&#8221; as outlined in his testimony. 
Meanwhile, Bessent&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42936887/trumps-treasury-pick-scott-bessent-reveals-up-to-500000-bitcoin-stake-via-blackrocks-etf">financial disclosures reveal</a> a significant stake in the&nbsp;iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), indicating his interest in cryptocurrencies amid expectations of crypto-friendly policies under the incoming Trump administration.
