BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC BYDDF), the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) leader, has reportedly cut back on production at its Chinese facilities due to concerns over profitability, slowing sales, and rising inventory levels.
What Happened: BYD has reduced shifts at some of its Chinese factories and halted plans to install new production lines, Reuters reported. This move indicates a potential slowdown in BYD&#8217;s rapid sales growth, which had previously allowed it to surpass Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as the world&#8217;s largest EV manufacturer.
As per the report, the company has canceled night shifts and decreased production at some factories by at least a third of their capacity. It has also put a hold on plans to set up new production lines. These measures have been implemented at a minimum of four factories, according to sources who requested anonymity.
Despite offering significant price reductions in China, BYD is still grappling with increasing inventory levels. This has led to a slowdown in the company&#8217;s sales growth, with production growth dropping to 13% and 0.2% year-on-year in April and May, respectively.

BYD, which sold 4.27 million cars last year, primarily in China, aims to achieve a nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">30% increase </a>in sales to 5.5 million this year.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: BYD&#8217;s decision to slow down production comes after the company faced criticism for triggering a price war in the Chinese EV market after offloading with its aggressive discounts. This led to a significant drop in BYD&#8217;s stock, which fell over 5% on the Hong Kong exchange, following a 15% plunge, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">Benzinga</a> on June 2.
Despite these setbacks, BYD managed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">overtake Tesla in global EV sales</a> for the first time in 2024, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation.&nbsp;
The recent production slowdown at BYD&#8217;s Chinese facilities may indicate a potential shift in the company&#8217;s momentum.&nbsp;

Why BlackBerry Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 15%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

The White House&#8217;s deputy chief of staff,&nbsp;Stephen Miller, known for shaping the Trump administration&#8217;s stringent immigration policies, reportedly owns a significant amount of stock in ICE contractor&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>).
What Happened: Miller&#8217;s financial disclosures reportedly indicate that he holds up to $250,000 worth of shares in Palantir, a company that plays a crucial role in the operations of U.S. immigration officials. The investment is held in a brokerage account belonging to one of Miller&#8217;s children, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest. The financial filings were <a href="https://www.pogo.org/investigations/stephen-miller-conflicts-of-interest">obtained </a>by the watchdog group Project on Government Oversight, which revealed the revisions as recent as June 4. 
Since the Obama era, Palantir's technology has enabled ICE to consolidate data sources to more effectively identify immigrants for arrest and deportation, with ICE calling its services "Mission Critical."
The investigation also found 11 other officials with Palantir stock holdings, though none as substantial as Miller's, the report said. Don Fox, a former acting head and former general counsel of the Office of Government Ethics, told the watchdog, "He could easily become involved in policy matters that have a direct and predictable impact on Palantir.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin dismissed the report as "very silly,&#8221; reported The Independent, while the White House said Miller has assured ethics officials he will continue to recuse himself from any matters that could affect his stock holdings.
The White House did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Why It Matters: In April, Palantir secured nearly a $30 million<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44882049/peter-thiels-palantir-bags-30-million-order-from-ice-for-immigrant-tracking-system"> contract </a>with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enhance its immigration enforcement tools, focusing on tracking visa overstays and self-deportations through a system called ImmigrationOS. This deal was an expansion of an existing agreement.
Palantir has also been under scrutiny for its role in the Trump administration&#8217;s immigration policies. In June, the company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45988762/palantir-rejects-surveillance-claims-after-being-compared-to-nazi-collaborators-touts-pltrs-transparent-lineage">rejected allegations</a> of mass surveillance&nbsp;and compared the criticism to collaboration with Nazi Germany and South Africa&#8217;s apartheid regime. The company has been vocal about its commitment to transparency and ethical data use.
Palantir has had a very successful run on Wall Street this year. On a year-to-date basis, the stock surged 90.49%, while over the past year, it gained 483.18%, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Verizon Private 5G Networks will serve as the technology foundation for a multiyear,&nbsp;multibillion-dollar&nbsp;operational transformation and economic revival for the region, one of the busiest maritime logistics hubs in U.K.
The Private 5G Networks buildout provides a scalable, long-term connectivity foundation for advanced data, AI, edge computing, and IoT infrastructure deployments to transform port and manufacturing operations.

Thames Freeport has already created 1,400 jobs and plans to reach 5,000 by 2030, focusing on high-skilled training for local communities, the company said in a press release.

The Verizon Private 5G Networks will be deployed to DP World London Gateway, DP World Logistics Park, Port of Tilbury, and Ford Dagenham.
The move marks Verizon&#8217;s attempt to unlock value beyond U.S. The stock is up just 4% in the last 12 months as it grappled with weaker subscriber numbers due to competition from AT&amp;T (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) and T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>).

Total wireless service revenue was $20.8 billion, up 2.7% Y/Y.
Postpaid phone net losses were 289,000 versus 114,000 net losses Y/Y driven by price hikes, rival promotional offers, and lesser government support. Verizon attributed some of the loss to lower spending by some federal agencies.
Verizon reiterated a 2.0%-2.8% growth in wireless service revenue. It reaffirmed an adjusted EPS of $4.59-$4.73 versus consensus of $4.67.
Price action:&nbsp;On Tuesday, Verizon shares edged up 0.64%, closing the session at $42.63.

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares are inching higher in Wednesday's pre-market trading, fueled by progress on its planned spot exchange-traded fund tracking the price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).

The trust's sponsor is Yorkville America Digital, LLC, with Foris DAX Trust Company, LLC, a Crypto.com affiliate, serving as the custodian.
The 19b-4 filing, a mandatory second step to list any ETF on Wall Street, follows the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45953644/truth-social-etf-filing-bitcoin-ethereum">S-1 registration statement</a> filed by Trump Media last week.&nbsp;

Trump Media Stock Edges Higher Pre-Market After NYSE Files To List Truth Social Bitcoin And Ethereum ETF Shares

Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, predicts that Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) (formerly MicroStrategy) could deliver superior returns compared to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) itself as the cryptocurrency rallies.
What Happened: &#8220;As Bitcoin goes up, MicroStrategy very likely goes up a lot more,&#8221; Lee said in a Wealthion interview reposted on X.
MicroStrategy transformed from a software company into one of the world&#8217;s largest corporate Bitcoin holders through an aggressive debt-fueled acquisition strategy.

Lee explained the company&#8217;s innovative financing approach allows it to issue convertible bonds at &#8220;almost no interest cost&#8221; to purchase additional Bitcoin. This strategy has created a premium valuation mechanism where MicroStrategy trades based on its Bitcoin holdings rather than its legacy software business performance.

The Tyson Corner-based company recently completed a $1 billion Bitcoin purchase funded through its new Stride preferred stock offering, bringing its total cryptocurrency treasury near 600,000 coins.

Tom Lee Says MicroStrategy Could Outpace Bitcoin Gains: 'Goes Up A Lot More' As BTC Rallies

Consumer tech giant Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) decades-long relationship with Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn is undergoing a quiet but significant transition in recent months.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/aapl" rel="noreferrer noopener">AAPL stock here</a>.
What Happened: On the ChinaTalk podcast <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apple-in-china/id1289062927?i=1000714353237">on</a> Tuesday, journalist and author of the book Apple in China, Patrick McGee, highlighted the shift in Apple&#8217;s expansive global supply chain, which is now increasingly leaning towards Luxshare, a Chinese manufacturer.
Once mainly known for supplying Apple with its cables and other accessories, that manufacturer is now taking on some of the most complex and valuable products in the tech giant&#8217;s value chain, such as the Vision Pro.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068152/whats-next-for-apple-chamath-palihapitiya-fires-back-dont-think-they-have-any-chance-of-anything-dismisses-glasses-and-ai-hopes">What&#8217;s Next For Apple — Chamath Palihapitiya Fires Back: &#8216;Don&#8217;t Think They Have Any Chance Of Anything,&#8217; Dismisses Glasses And AI Hopes</a>
According to McGee, this reflects a broader pivot inside Apple toward politically favored Chinese manufacturers, often referred to as the &#8220;red supply chain.&#8221; Luxshare is known for its close ties to the Chinese government and offers Apple the kind of manufacturing compliance and speed that few others can match.
&#8220;That's the rise of the red supply chain in action,&#8221; he says.
According to McGee, this is more than just a supply chain realignment. It&#8217;s a strategic recalibration in the face of rising geopolitical tension between the U.S. and China. 
&#8220;Apple thought they were wearing the pants in this relationship for the first two decades,&#8221; he says, before realizing that they were, in fact, &#8220;lured in by the siren call of an emerging superpower.&#8221;
Here, McGee is referring to the fact that Apple&#8217;s business decision for the sake of efficiency has, over the years, turned into a strategic vulnerability, with China now holding immense leverage in the relationship.
Foxconn's hold has loosened just as Luxshare and other Chinese firms, backed by favorable policy and massive state support, have scaled into national champions. &#8220;Luxshare is China-born, China-backed,&#8221; McGee added.
Why It Matters: A month ago, McGee said that Apple has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45510862/apple-unwittingly-powered-the-rise-of-huawei-xiaomi-oppo-and-vivo-says-apple-in-china-authorindia-pivot-a-decade-too-late">unwittingly powered the rise</a> of its own competitors, Oppo,&nbsp;Vivo,&nbsp;Huawei, and&nbsp;Xiaomi. &#8220;The reason their technology is so good is Apple trained all of their suppliers,&#8221; he said.
This comes as the company begins <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45637672/apple-ramps-up-india-manufacturing-as-us-iphone-imports-surge-76-in-april-while-shipments-from-china-plunge">ramping up output in India</a>, as geopolitical tensions continue to flare between the United States and China. 
Recently, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45599817/apple-would-rather-absorb-a-25-iphone-tariff-than-move-production-to-the-us-says-analyst-no-guarantee-they-wont-face-repeated-tariff-threats-during-his-term">deployed $1.5 billion</a> in a display production module in Chennai, through Foxconn, despite receiving pushback from President Donald Trump on the matter.
Price Action: Apple shares were down 0.60% on Tuesday, trading at $200.30, and are up 0.36% after hours.

From Cables To Vision Pro: How Luxshare Is Replacing Foxconn In Apple's Ecosystem

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46045144/openai-scrubs-jony-ive-deal-from-website-after-trademark-lawsuit-threatens-6-5-billion-io-products-acquisition">trademark lawsuit filed by</a> hardware startup Iyo as &#8220;silly&#8221; and &#8220;disappointing&#8221; after a judge ordered ChatGPT-parent to remove references to its collaboration with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) designer Jony Ive.
What Happened: Iyo, a startup led by Jason Rugolo, sued OpenAI for trademark infringement earlier this month, claiming the company's use of the name "io" for a new venture with Ive could confuse consumers and damage its brand.
The lawsuit follows OpenAI's May announcement that it was teaming up with Ive to launch an AI hardware project reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45640879/openais-sam-altman-says-6-5b-deal-with-jony-ive-to-build-ai-companions-could-add-1-trillion-in-company-value-report">valued at $6.4 billion</a>.
A federal judge granted Iyo a temporary restraining order barring OpenAI and its affiliates from using the name "io."
OpenAI has since removed the announcement from its website, replacing it with a note that says the page is "temporarily down due to a court order following a trademark complaint."

Altman posted emails from Rugolo on X, suggesting Iyo had previously pushed for OpenAI to invest or buy the company. This lawsuit is "silly, disappointing and wrong," Altman wrote.

Rugolo responded on X, stating, "I won&#8217;t fight you guys in public, and honestly just think it&#8217;s super bad form for someone like you to be coming after me like this."
In another post, he said his communications with Altman date back to 2022, when he first pitched his startup to Apollo Projects. "This particular email from Sam was probably the worst email I&#8217;ve ever received in my professional life," he posted on X.

Ive, celebrated for his work on iconic devices like the iPhone and MacBook, is at the center of the effort.
After the acquisition was announced, Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, remarked that OpenAI now represents the most significant competitive challenge Apple has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45599511/apple-faces-first-serious-threat-in-20-years-as-openai-acquires-iphone-makers-former-design-chief-jo">faced in the past two decades</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings show an upward trend for Apple's stock in the short term, but a downward trajectory over the medium and long term. While the company scores high on quality metrics, it continues to exhibit weak growth and momentum, and its valuation remains notably low. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here for more details</a>.

Rocket Lab To Launch ESA's First LEO-PNT Navigation Satellites On Electron In December 2025

A Federal Court Judge in Washington State has ordered the Trump administration to release funds to build EV chargers in over 14 U.S. states.
What Happened: The ruling, delivered by U.S. District Judge Tana Lin in Seattle, Washington on Tuesday, states that the funds allocated to states like New York, Arizona and California are to be released by the administration.
The ruling also outlines that if the states were to sue the federal government for illegally withholding congressionally approved funds, they would succeed. The U.S. Transportation Department had withheld over $5 billion approved by the previous Biden administration awarded to states to create EV infrastructure.
"When the Executive Branch treads upon the will of the Legislative Branch, and when an administrative agency acts contrary to law, it is the Court's responsibility to remediate the situation and restore the balance of power," Lin said in the ruling.
However, the court has granted the Trump administration until July 2, 2025, to appeal the ruling.
Why It Matters: The ruling comes as U.S. President Donald Trump had recently doubled down on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943245/trump-says-he-was-amazed-that-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-endorsed-him-despite-his-anti-ev-stance">his anti-EV stance</a> by signing a resolution to overturn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45911368/trump-signs-resolutions-to-overturn-californias-ev-mandate-report">California's EV mandate</a> aimed at phasing out ICE-powered vehicles by 2035.
The administration also wants to axe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45965638/amid-trumps-anti-ev-push-senate-republicans-propose-tax-bill-to-axe-7500-ev-credit">the $7500 Federal EV credit</a> as both Senate Republicans as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">House Republicans</a> have proposed to repeal the credit in a new tax bill.

What Happened: Sanders, in a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, outlined his vision for a future where AI and automation drive increased productivity and efficiency, leading to reduced working hours for employees. &#8220;Instead of throwing you out on the street, I&#8217;m going to reduce your workweek to 32 hours,&#8221; Sanders stated.

The Vermont senator underscored the potential benefits of technology for workers, suggesting it could offer more time for family, friends and education. 
Sanders introduced the &#8220;Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act&#8221; last year, which mandates overtime pay for any work beyond 32 hours in a week. The proposed change would be gradually implemented over a four-year period.

Bernie Sanders Slams Job Cuts, Says AI Should Give Workers More Time Off: 'Instead Of Throwing You Out On The Street...'

The U.S. housing finance landscape may be on the brink of a huge shift as Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte, appointed in March 2025 under President Donald Trump, announced plans to study cryptocurrency holdings, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), for mortgage qualifications.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/fnma">FNMA stock here</a>.
What Happened: This move has sparked widespread interest and debate, with Strategy Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Michael Saylor stepping forward to offer Strategy's (formerly MicroStrategy) Bitcoin Credit Model to support the initiative.
Pulte, a known Bitcoin advocate and grandson of Pulte Homes' founder, oversees the FHFA, which regulates $7.5 trillion in mortgage-backed securities through Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>).
His post has ignited hope among crypto enthusiasts. &#8220;We will study the usage of cryptocurrency holdings as it relates to qualifying for mortgages,&#8221; with Saylor responding by sharing a model assessing BTC risk based on price volatility, loan duration, and collateral coverage.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Policy Institute <a href="https://www.btcpolicy.org/articles/the-powerful-fannie-mae-policy-change-to-unlock-bitcoin-based-mortgages">hails</a> this as a potential game-changer, noting that 14% of Americans own Bitcoin, while close to 28% of Americans are said to own some kind of cryptocurrency. 
A tweak to Fannie Mae's Selling Guide to recognize Bitcoin as collateral could unlock homeownership for millions, aligning with Trump's vision to make the U.S. the "Bitcoin Capital of the planet."

Why It Matters: As highlighted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute, due to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac&#8217;s significant financial influence in the mortgage market and indirect control by government entities, both set the industry standards that all other home lenders follow.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac&#8217;s securitization guidelines for lenders often become the unofficial rules for the entire mortgage industry.
&#8220;If Fannie Mae amended key language in their Selling Guide (SEL-2022-04) on virtual currencies, it would unlock the ability for Americans to use bitcoin as collateral for home loans,&#8221; stated the Bitcoin Policy Institute note.

Michael Saylor Offers BTC Credit Model As Bill Pulte Pushes Crypto For Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac: Could Bitcoin Soon Count Toward Mortgage Qualification?

Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer of Maelstrom and co-founder of BitMEX, stuck to his $250,000 year-end price target and $1 million by 2028 for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in a recent interview, driven by trillions worth of fiat liquidity injection.
What Happened: In an interview dated June 17, Hayes was asked if he maintains the projection he has made quite frequently in the last few months.
&#8220;I think that we get&nbsp;to $250,000 by the end&nbsp;of the year. It&#8217;ll&nbsp;be bumpy along the way,&nbsp;obviously, but that&#8217;s&nbsp;sort of my end-of-year price&nbsp;target,&#8221; the Bitcoin bull responded.
Hayes stated that the increase in credit and fiat liquidity, particularly from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fannie-mae-vs-ginnie-mae">U.S. mortgage entities</a> Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>), would eventually find its way into the cryptocurrency market, driving up Bitcoin&#8217;s price.

&#8220;They&#8217;re going to print in the realm of $9 trillion-ish dollars between now and and that period of time [2028]. Fanny and Freddy, the government support entities that are allowed to create mortgages in the US, will print $5 trillion,&#8221; he said.
He added that banks would end up purchasing somewhere around $1 trillion and due to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/45716143/trump-administration-set-to-ease-big-bank-rules-in-major-rollback-since-2008-crisis-here-are-the-stocks-and-etfs-investors-could-consider">supplementary leverage ratio exemption</a>, they will be able to lend more. 
&#8220;And so you&#8217;re going to see the amount of loans going to manufacturing firms increase which is again an increase in credit and that will make its way into crypto as well,&#8221; Hayes remarked.
On the topic of Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, Hayes argued it won&#8217;t be &#8220;politically palable&#8221; for the government to buy Bitcoin. 
&#8220;If you create all this money and you could spend it on anything you want, surely spending it on buying Bitcoin is probably not going to be the best way to get votes,&#8221; he said.

Arthur Hayes Doubles Down On $250,000 Bitcoin Call — Sees $1 Million By 2028

Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas challenged Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Android operating system design on Tuesday, claiming the platform prioritizes advertising revenue over artificial intelligence capabilities.
What Happened: &#8220;Android needs to be rebuilt for AI. It&#8217;s currently optimized for preserving Google&#8217;s ad business rather than a truly agentic OS,&#8221; Srinivas wrote on X, targeting the tech giant&#8217;s mobile strategy amid intensifying AI competition.

Apple shares have declined 17.86% year-to-date. The company is currently facing shareholder lawsuits over exaggerated AI progress claims.
Srinivas&#8217;s company has gained significant traction, securing a $14 billion valuation in May, up from $9 billion in November. The San Francisco-based startup, backed by Jeff Bezos and SoftBank Group, positions itself as a direct Google search competitor through AI-powered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/05/45358069/perplexitys-14-billion-valuation-ignites-google-search-engine-shakeup">query responses with inline citations</a>.

Google Built Android To Protect Its Ad Empire, Not AI, Says Perplexity's Aravind Srinivas: Says OS Must Be Reengineered For Agentic Future

Susan Li, the chief financial officer at Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), recounted a pivotal moment in late 2022 that reshaped how the company communicates with investors.
What Happened: Speaking on the Cheeky Pint podcast last week, Li, who&#8217;s been CFO of the social networking giant for nearly three years, discussed a tense post-earnings call with major shareholders following Meta's October 2022 third-quarter results.
The stock plunged over 20% following the results, amid plunging ad revenue, slowing e-commerce growth, and growing concerns over the company's costly metaverse ambitions.
Li says that at one point during the call, a portfolio manager told them, &#8220;We actually don't have any questions for you today. We just want you to hear feedback from us.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041399/meta-tried-luring-openais-top-minds-with-massive-paychecks-but-sam-altman-neglected-to-mention-that-hes-countering-those-offers-says-andrew-bosworth">Meta Tried Luring OpenAI&#8217;s Top Minds With Massive Paychecks, But Sam Altman &#8216;Neglected To Mention That He&#8217;s Countering Those Offers,&#8217; Says Andrew Bosworth</a>
However, the most jarring comment, she says, came shortly after, with an investor asking, &#8220;Why should I invest in your stock today? Why don't I just wait until your bet pays off?&#8221;
This was aimed at the company&#8217;s growing capital expenditures, particularly aimed at its metaverse projects. Li said the comment struck a nerve internally and helped shift how Meta&#8217;s leadership, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, thought about investor relations going forward.
Instead of asking markets to buy into long-term platform bets, she said the company began focusing more on near-term execution and financial clarity.
&#8220;We need people to invest with us along the way,&#8221; Li said, adding that &#8220;It's not enough to just pitch the future, we have to deliver in the present.&#8221;
At the time, in late 2022, Meta&#8217;s market capitalization had bottomed near $240 billion, compared to over $1 trillion the year before. Since then, the company has mounted a strong recovery, with its current market cap at $1.79 trillion, which Li says was driven by tighter cost controls, emphasis on free cash flows, and improvements in ad targeting.
This entire episode highlighted the growing demand from investors for accountability on big tech&#8217;s multi-billion-dollar moonshot spending.

This comes just days after the company picked up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45919069/meta-invests-in-scale-ai-at-29-billion-valuation-taps-ceo-alexandr-wang-to-drive-internal-ai-push-as-part-of-deepening-partnership">a minority stake</a> in Scale AI for $14 billion, valuing the artificial intelligence startup at $29 billion. 
It is, however, continuing to deliver in the present for investors, with the introduction of ads in WhatsApp expected to generate approximately $10.2 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969694/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-could-rake-in-over-10-billion-in-annual-ad-revenue-from-whatsapp-by-2028-says-analyst">annual advertising revenue</a> by 2028, according to analyst Mark Mahaney, from Evercore ISI. 
Price Action: Shares of Meta Platforms were up 1.96% on Tuesday, trading at $712.20, and are down 0.01% after hours.

Micron Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Phoebe Gates says she and co-founder Sophia Kianni leaned on ChatGPT and spreadsheet sleuthing, rather than a big ad budget, to push their fashion-tech startup Phia onto social feeds.
What Happened: &#8220;We'll make an Excel sheet … then we'll reverse-engineer how to make that video,&#8221; Gates told The Burnouts podcast, adding she uses AI &#8220;almost every single day&#8221; to supercharge work.
Gates said the pair scoured Instagram and TikTok for high-performing reels, logged them in Excel and broke down "the hook … the middle … and how they ended it." Kianni then fed transcripts of two runaway-viral founder videos into ChatGPT to "reverse engineer how to make that video … and asked, ‘Can you turn this script into one that works for Phia?'"

The model's pattern-spotting, she added, proves "you should not be starting anything from scratch. The internet exists for a reason."

The former Stanford roommates launched Phia in April after raising about $850,000, including checks from Kris Jenner and Desiree Gruber. The browser extension compares prices across 40,000 retail sites to surface the best clothing deals. Gates says her father, Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Bill Gates, "wouldn't let me drop out" the way he did and declined to bankroll the venture.
Why It Matters: Gates said Phia will continue to mine AI for insights as it develops personalized styling tools. There are patterns behind why things go viral and understanding them is crucial, Kianni tells listeners of The Burnouts podcast.
The founders' playbook mirrors a broader rush to embed generative AI in marketing. Big brands such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/23/10/35145790/the-first-email-blast-went-out-45-years-ago-how-startup-appmail-uses-chatgpt-powered-ai-and-automati">AppMail</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/23/03/31450981/this-startup-built-the-worlds-first-ai-marketing-platform-that-can-understand-emotion-and-some-of-th">AI-ad firm RAD AI</a> already rely on ChatGPT variants to craft A/B-tested copy and predict emotional resonance.
Wall Street banks have likewise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44878856/bank-of-america-bets-big-on-ai-with-4-billion-investment-and-its-already-paying-off">rolled out chatbots</a> to jump-start pitch decks and compliance reviews, as part of a wider adoption wave.
