The Democratic National Convention kicks off Monday in Chicago and includes a highly anticipated speech from President Joe Biden, who stepped aside from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election. &nbsp;</a>
Here's a look at Monday's key speakers and what investors should know.
Biden's Speech: Biden will headline the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40429245/2024-dnc-preview-democrats-to-rally-around-harris-walz-with-biden-obamas-clintons-and-more-will-">first night of the DNC</a> with a primetime speech emphasizing why Vice President Kamala Harris is fit to be president.
One of the themes of Biden&#8217;s speech is expected to be leadership and putting America above the president's own interest, the Democratic convention committee said in a statement viewed by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/19/dnc-2024-live-updates-day-1.html">CNBC</a>.
"While Donald Trump puts himself first, Democrats are fighting for the American people," the Democratic convention committee said.
First Lady Jill Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are also set to deliver prime time speeches Monday, as reported by CNBC.
The Bidens will leave Chicago Monday night for a vacation in California, according to the report. The president will not be on hand for a speech from former President Barack Obama or to officially see Harris accept the nomination on Thursday.

</ul>
Auto Stocks in Focus: United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain is also expected to speak Monday night. The union has endorsed Harris for president.
The UAW took on General Motors Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) in a battle over contract negotiations last year.
Recently, the UAW filed a lawsuit against Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and Trump over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40349586/musk-trump-hit-with-uaw-labor-charges-following-union-busting-remarks-tesla-ceo-suggests-uaw-pre">comments made during an interview</a>.
Fain&#8217;s speech could put the American automotive industry in the spotlight and, depending on what is said, could also put a negative spotlight on electric and imported vehicles.
Harris and Biden have been positive on the growth of electric vehicles and proponents of the sector, which could limit what Fain says about EVs.
The speech could put ETFs that have exposure to auto stocks and electric vehicle stocks in the spotlight. The KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>) and Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>) offer investors exposure to electric vehicles.
Abortion, Health Care In Focus: Harris highlighted efforts to cut health care costs and prescription drug costs in a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40424431/harris-warns-trump-tax-plan-will-devastate-americans-vows-to-go-after-bad-actors-behind-food-pri"> speech on Friday</a>. Health care could be a big focus Monday night alongside abortion rights.
Three women who had high-risk pregnancies will speak during the first day of DNC events Monday, as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/19/us/politics/harris-dnc-abortion-rights.html">reported </a>by the New York Times.
Each of the women faced hardships due to state abortion bans and the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022.
The speeches come as Harris' opponent, Trump, has expressed pride in being the driving force behind the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38150115/donald-trump-backs-away-from-national-abortion-ban-this-is-all-about-the-will-of-the-people">shied away from a national abortion ban,</a> saying the decision should be left up to individual states. States deciding abortion rights could lead to more stories like the ones expected to be shared Monday night by women who say their high-risk pregnancies almost killed them, and in some cases they had to leave their own state to get care.
Abortion rights could be a theme of all four nights of the DNC, according to the report, making it one of the biggest election issues highlighted by the Democratic Party at the convention.
Harris' focus on health care costs could put a spotlight on stocks in the sector. Investors could see health care stocks come under pressure if Harris is elected president, which could impact ETFs like the SPDR Select Sector Fund – Health Care (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLV#NYSE">XLV</a>) and Vanguard Health Care ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VHT#NYSE">VHT</a>).

Auto Stocks, Abortion, Health Care In Spotlight At DNC: Joe Biden, UAW President, Women Affected By Roe V. Wade Decision Headline Night 1

The electric vehicle sector has become a major talking point of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">the 2024 presidential election</a>.
That&#8217;s partially thanks to Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1812256998588662068">endorsing</a> Republican Donald Trump, even though the former president said, on Christmas Day, that EV supporters <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36420386/joe-biden-replies-to-donald-trumps-rot-in-hell-christmas-message-love-your-enemies">should "rot in hell."</a>
The Democratic Party ticket could highlight their contrasting opinion on electric cars now that Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40195119/tim-walz-joins-kamala-harris-on-democratic-ticket-5-things-to-know-about-minnesota-governor-vp-p">be her running mate.</a>

What Happened: A 2024 presidential election win for Trump could benefit Tesla, considering the GOP nominee has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39804113/exclusive-elon-musk-is-burning-his-own-blue-bridges-by-donating-to-trump-says-market-expert">a friendly relationship</a> with Musk. 
And Trump has openly offered to change policy to benefit CEOs in exchange for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38997165/trumps-policies-for-money-transaction-with-big-oil-under-investigation-by-senate-democrats-cronyism">campaign contributions</a>. For Musk, the potential elimination of tax credits for EVs <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/04/31908273/rivian-and-volkswagen-id-4-owners-your-evs-are-now-eligible-for-federal-tax-credits">could stifle its competition</a>.
A Trump victory could also hurt the overall electric vehicle sector outside of Tesla, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39727992/tesla-bull-says-trump-win-is-negative-for-ev-industry-but-potential-positive-for-el">Tesla analysts say</a>. That&#8217;s something investors need to know ahead of the 2024 election, especially since Trump — at least <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40154264/trump-says-electric-cars-are-fantastic-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-endorsement-i-have-to-be-you-know">before Musk&#8217;s endorsement</a> — often denigrated electric vehicles. 
Walz, like Harris, has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39918749/kamala-harris-vs-trump-views-on-nearly-every-industry-evs-oil-gas-health-care-are-worlds-apart">positive on electric vehicles</a>. A win for the Democratic Party in November would likely continue tax credits and ramp up electrification.
Under Walz, Minnesota became the first in the Midwest and one of 17 states to back the emission standards set by California, as <a href="https://insideevs.com/news/729259/tim-walz-ev-advocate/">reported </a>by InsideEVs.
"Minnesotans certainly know that old adage, ‘you need to skate where the puck is going to be,'" Walz <a href="https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-adopts-clean-cars-standard-that-require-more-electric-vehicles/600081556">told </a>reporters back in 2021. "The puck is going to be in EVs. And that is irrefutable."
While serving as the Minnesota governor, Walz has advocated for both EV and hybrid vehicle adoption. His policies faced challenges from automotive dealers in the state, who attempted to sue the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for alleged overreach.
Minnesota is currently advocating for electric vehicles to represent 20% of new car sales by 2030.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The auto industry could face a huge setback if Trump is elected as he could undue years of investment on the transition to electric vehicles, InsideEVs reports. 
Companies like Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) have spent years investing billions of dollars on the transition to EVs and building new factories and models that can appeal to customers. 
Musk's support of Trump could also have a negative impact on Tesla stock with a win by the former president in the election potentially setting the whole sector back.
It <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40212204/tesla-loses-this-major-european-customer-after-elon-musk-endorses-trump-for-president">was recently reported</a> that European pharmacy chain Rossman decided to stop buying Tesla vehicles due to the Trump endorsement by Musk.
"Trump has repeatedly described climate change as a hoax — this attitude is in stark contrast to Tesla's mission to contribute to environmental protection through the production of electric cards," Rossman spokesperson Raoul Rossman said.
Rossman represents a small customer of Tesla totaling around 38 annual vehicles, but the decision by management could show that Musk's endorsement could hurt the company if more customers pull their sales and partnerships.
With the 2024 election expected to be close, investors are likely torn on whether they should be investing aggressively in electric vehicle stocks before the results are decided.
Two potential winners from a Harris/Walz win could be the KraneShares Electric Vehicle and Future Mobility Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>) and the Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>).
The ETFs hold a basket of stocks in the electric vehicle sector and could benefit from Harris continuing the policies already put in place during Joe Biden's time in office.

Tim Walz Could Be Good For Electric Vehicle Stocks: 'You Need To Skate Where The Puck Is Going To Be. The Puck Is Going To Be In EVs'

BYD Company (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) might surpass Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in annual <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles" rel="noreferrer noopener">electric vehicle sales</a> in 2024 as demand grows in China but declines in the U.S. and Europe.
This marks a significant change from January when Bloomberg Intelligence expected Tesla to maintain its lead over BYD until the decade's end, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-24/tesla-to-lose-global-ev-sales-crown-to-byd-as-hype-wears-off?srnd=phx-industries&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a> writes.
However, BYD's rise could be short-lived as U.S. and European tariffs limit Chinese automakers' growth to Asia and emerging markets.
Weakening demand for battery EVs means that internal combustion engines, including hybrids, will sustain profits for legacy automakers like General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Volkswagen AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>), and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>). This trend might drive more share buybacks or takeover activities.
On Tuesday, Tesla reported its fourth consecutive quarter of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39918390/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-miss-robotaxi-update-2024-growth-rate-to-be-notably-l" rel="noreferrer noopener">disappointing profits</a>. The company is behind its 1.8 million car sales from last year and has warned of a lower growth rate in 2024.
The company reported earnings per share of 52 cents in the second quarter, down 43% year-over-year, missing the consensus estimate of 62 cents per share.

Additionally, Porsche AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRPRF#OTC">DRPRF</a>) recently <a target="_blank" href="https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2024/company/porsche-second-quarter-half-year-profit-sales-revenue-36915.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">revised its goal of having battery-powered</a> cars account for more than 80% of new vehicle sales by 2030.
BYD briefly overtook Tesla in pure EV sales in the fourth quarter of last year, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36839203/warren-buffett-backed-byd-sees-higher-profits-for-fy23-after-taking-over-tesla-as-biggest-ev-seller" rel="noreferrer noopener">selling 526,409 units</a> compared to Tesla's 484,507.
This year, BYD continued its momentum by shipping nearly 1 million electric and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39592293/tesla-rival-byds-ev-sales-jump-21-in-q2-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">hybrid cars in the second quarter</a>, driven by aggressive discounts in China.
However, Bloomberg Intelligence warns that the price war in China is "unsustainable" and could lead to further market exits and consolidation.
Despite current challenges, BYD is forecast to hold its sales lead over Tesla through 2027. However, Tesla is expected to regain the top spot in 2028, with Volkswagen gradually closing the gap.
Tesla remains the largest automaker by market capitalization, valued at $786 billion as of Tuesday's close, before an 8% drop in extended trading. BYD is third, with a market cap of just under $100 billion.
Price Action: BYDDF shares were up by 3.66% to $31.50 premarket at the last check on Wednesday.

BYD Poised To Surpass Tesla In EV Sales As US And Europe Demand Wanes

Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) share of the electric vehicle (EV) market in the U.S. has dipped <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39685198/severely-damaged-tesla-cybertruck-involved-in-collision-turns-up-for-auction">below half for the first time</a>. 
What Happened: The Elon Musk-led company is seeing more automobile rivals grab market share in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39502910/elon-musk-could-sell-at-least-100-000-new-lower-cost-models-next-year-tesla-has-ove">sector it once dominated</a>. 
Tesla&#8217;s share of the EV market in the U.S. fell to 49.7% for the second quarter, marking the first time that it has been below 50% in a quarter, according to new estimates released on Tuesday by research firm Cox Automotive. That is down from a market share of 59.3% posted in the second quarter of 2023.
Cox plans to release its full second-quarter EV sales report on July 11, but it gave a sneak peek at some data, including Tesla&#8217;s dwindling market share, in its most recent newsletter. Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the numbers:
<ul>
<li>Tesla saw its U.S. sales decline by 6.3% over a three-month period</li>
<li>Strong EV sales by General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), Hyundai and Kia lifted total second-quarter sales in the U.S. to a record estimated 330,463 units sold.</li>
<li>This total, an 11.3% increase year-over-year, quarterly sales and beat the previous record of 317,168 EVs sold in the U.S. during the fourth quarter of 2023.</li>
<li>EV sales accounted for 8% of total U.S. automobile sales in the second quarter, up from 7.1% in the previous quarter and 7.2% a year ago.</li>
<li>Llower sales from European luxury makers, such as Mercedes-Benz, pulled down the total volume.</li>

"While Tesla's sales continue to decline, with its share of EV sales now below 50% for the first time, the overall electric vehicle competitive landscape intensifies&nbsp;further,&#8221; Cox&#8217;s Industry Insights Director Stephanie Valdez Streaty said in a statement. 
&#8220;This is leading to continued price pressure, helping push EV adoption slowly higher. Automakers that deliver the right product, at the right price, and offer an excellent consumer experience will lead the way in adoption."
Many consumers are now buying electric cars from established carmakers like BMW or Ford, which have large dealer networks that can provide maintenance and repairs, the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/09/business/tesla-electric-vehicles-market-share.html#:~:text=Tesla%20accounted%20for%2049.7%20percent%20of%20electric%20vehicles,and%20Kia%2C%20the%20research%20firm%2C%20Cox%20Automotive%20said.">reported</a>.
Price Action: Tesla gained 3.7% to close at $262.33 on Tuesday, while General Motors slipped 0.62% to $46.26 and Ford also dipped 0.62% to $12.90.
The Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>) slipped 0.45% on Tuesday as iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDRV#NYSE">IDRV</a>) declined 0.17% and SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Smart Mobility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAIL#NYSE">HAIL</a>) edged up 0.06%.

Tesla Loses Ground: Elon Musk's EV Market Share Falls Below 50% For First Time

Editor&#8217;s Note: This article has been updated to accurately report the remaining funds as $350 billion.
In an exclusive interview with Benzinga, Michael Sayers, CFA and vice president and portfolio manager at Rockland Trust, shared valuable insights into <a href="http://benzinga.com/topic/economy">today&#8217;s investment opportunities.</a> 
Below, we explore the key questions and Sayers&#8217; insightful responses:
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How The CHIPS Act, IRA Act &amp; Infrastructure Act Create Investment Opportunities</h2>
When asked about the anticipated influence of recent legislative developments like the CHIPS Act, IRA Act, and Infrastructure Act on investment opportunities, Sayers provided a comprehensive overview. 
Regarding the potential effects of the CHIPS Act on technology investments and the semiconductor industry, Sayers pointed out the significant earmarked funds for semiconductors. 
He highlighted the substantial infrastructure-related spending authorized by these acts, totaling approximately $1 trillion over the next decade.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Significant Amount Of Money Still On The Table</h2>
Some quick back-of the napkin math by Sayers went as follows;
&#8220;Infrastructure-related spending across the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Infrastructure, and CHIPS acts totals ~$1 Trillion over a period of 10 years ending in 2031. About $650 billion has been authorized/committed so far.&#8221;
<ul>
<li>About $250 billion has been allocation to semiconductors.</li>
</ul>
This should benefit investments into the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) which provides exposure to the semiconductor equity sector in the U.S.
<ul>
<li>Another $250 billion to clean energy and power.</li>
</ul>
The iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NYSE">ICLN</a>), along with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) are among the two most popular ETFs that should benefit from this allocation.
<ul>
<li>$150 billion has been allocated for EV and EV batteries.</li>
</ul>
Investors in the Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>), the iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDRV#NYSE">IDRV</a>) and the KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>) which invest in stocks of electric vehicle manufacturers, should see this benefit trickling down to them.
&#8220;That leaves a significant amount of money still on the table, particularly under the IRA &amp; CHIPS acts,&#8221; Sayer said pointing to $350 billion remaining from the total $1 trillion allocation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Multi-Year Runway Of Annualized Double-Digit Growth Ahead</h2>
Backed by the $350 billion remaining, Sayers emphasized, &#8220;There is a multi-year runway of annualized double-digit growth in infrastructure-related construction &amp; manufacturing spending ahead of us through the end of the decade.&#8221;
Rockland Trust allocates to the Russell Global Infrastructure Fund (RGISX) to take advantage of this positive outlook but also to provide diversification to the high-quality stock &amp; bond portfolios that the firm manages for its clients
Investment Opportunities: Building upon Sayer&#8217;s insights into the potential growth in infrastructure and manufacturing sectors, let&#8217;s explore capital market instruments that investors could utilize to partake in this anticipated growth.

EXCLUSIVE: Expert Predicts 'Double-Digit Growth' In 2 Sectors Thanks To Major Federal Investments (CORRECTED)

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) appears to be changing its strategy after noting in its last quarterly earnings report that it was facing lower demand for electric vehicles and that delivery growth rates in 2024 would be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/news">&#8220;notably lower&#8221; than in 2023</a>.
The company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/01/36768363/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-model-y-a-global-bestseller-next-gen-vehicle-upd">disappointed Wall Street</a> expectations, with misses on revenue and profit as the company reported negative impacts from growth in vehicle deliveries that have lower average sales prices. 
Tesla has already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/03/37827374/teslas-model-y-price-increase-how-it-impacts-ev-giants-stock">announced price increases</a> in the U.S. and the eurozone for its most popular vehicle — the Model Y SUV. 
 Last week, the company announced plans to increase the Model Y&#8217;s price in the U.S. by $1,000 starting next month, and by up to 2,000 euros in certain Eurozone countries.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="650" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25104942/newplot-2024-03-25T144926.234.png" alt="" class="wp-image-264066" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25104942/newplot-2024-03-25T144926.234.png 750w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25104942/newplot-2024-03-25T144926.234-300x260.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Production Slows</h2>
Meanwhile, there have been reports that Elon Musk is poised to announce Tesla is slowing production in China, partially due to competition from domestic producers such as BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) and Nio Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), but also due to slowing growth in EV sales globally.
Colin Rusch, analyst at Oppenheimer, said: &#8220;With TSLA announcing planned price increases across geographies and reports surfacing about moderated production in China, we believe the company is working to deliver as many vehicles as possible before quarter end and managing supply/demand balance as it shifts focus toward maximizing value capture per vehicle away from unit growth.&#8221;
Is this a wise strategy, given that much of Tesla&#8217;s popularity has been built upon the relative affordability of its vehicles, compared with many of its competitors?
Rusch and his team at Oppenheimer believe that the company is setting the stage to increase the revenues it generates from software updates.
Rusch added: &#8220;We view TSLA as a leader in artificial intelligence for the physical world noting its leverage of uniform camera data into training systems for vehicles. We believe its wider release of Full Self-Driving 12.3 should accelerate training data collection and trigger incremental deferred revenue recognition in 1Q24.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Transformational Technology&#8217;</h2>
Tesla&#8217;s stock has fallen nearly 32% in 2024, with the decline starting at the end of December, before the company&#8217;s weaker-than-expected results published on Jan. 24. 
The Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NYSE">DRIV</a>), an exchange traded fund that tracks the makers of EVs and the chips and tech behind them, has performed better, but remains flat over 2024.
Oppenheimer lowered its 2024 delivery and revenue and profits estimates for Tesla, but retained its Perform market rating.
Rusch concluded: &#8220;We believe TSLA has the potential to be a transformational technology company and deliver outsized returns. 
&#8220;We believe the company&#8217;s execution on Model 3 and Y volumes in the medium-term and cost reduction, largely from a battery perspective, are critical to realizing positive incremental operating margin and cash flow necessary to support sustainable profitability.&#8221;

Tesla's Tactical Change May Deliver Fewer Vehicles But Could Raise Profitability: Analyst

President Joe Biden currently leads as the favored candidate for the Democratic nomination in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">the 2024 presidential election.</a>
While he's not campaigning, Biden is busy governing the country and focusing on top priorities. Voters will hear more about those priorities and recent wins from his administration during the president's upcoming State of the Union address.
What Happened: Biden is set to give his State of the Union speech on March 7 in front of a joint session of Congress, Supreme Court justices, members of his Cabinet, military leaders and millions of viewers watching on television at home.
As of now, Biden's speech could come with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36690707/government-shutdown-narrowly-dodged-as-house-greenlights-funding-until-march-but-did-speaker-mike-jo">government in a partial shutdown</a>, which would mark the first time a president gives a State of the Union under that scenario, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/28/politics/biden-state-of-the-union-shutdown/index.html">CNN</a>.
As things currently stand, a potential government shutdown was extended to the March 1 and March 8 deadlines, with a vote in January.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/government-shutdown-deadline-02-29-24/index.html">passed </a>a one-week stop-gap with a vote of 320 to 99, extending the deadlines to March 8 and March 22. The stop-gap heads to the Senate for a vote of approval.
The current funding extensions see the first date apply to some parts of the federal government that including energy, transportation, agriculture and Veterans Affairs. Other units of the government would be covered until the second date, currently set for March 8.
CNN said that right now, Biden's speech on March 7 would come with around 20% of the federal government shutdown and out of money on the current funding bill.
Reports indicate that the State of the Union may be <a href="http://benzinga.com/news/24/02/37332043/bidens-state-of-the-union-address-faces-cancellation-threats-over-border-crisis">at risk of cancellation</a> due to funding challenges and concerns raised by several members of Congress regarding the ongoing border crisis.
Related Link: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/23/12/36416440/why-buy-stocks-in-a-presidential-election-year-history-has-a-crazy-stat-for-you">Why Buy Stocks In A Presidential Election Year? History Has A Crazy Stat For You</a>
Sectors to Watch: Biden&#8217;s State of the Union speech last year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/30792445/biden-spotlights-job-creation-bi-partisanship-in-state-of-union-to-divided-congress">included comments made</a> on junk fees, stock buyback taxes, infrastructure, the CHIPS Act, medical costs and electric vehicles.
The new State of the Union will likely include several old themes, and could also look for the president to establish priorities in other areas.  
Here are several sectors and ETFs to watch given the government shutdown and Biden's focus areas.
Airlines: The government shutdown could see a shutdown of part-time workers and training of new staff for the airline sector. This could lead to increased cancellations and pressure on the airline industry, which would put the U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) in the spotlight.
Transportation: Along with airlines, the railway industry could also be impacted by government shutdowns. The iShares Transportation Average ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>) covers the S&amp;P 500 transportation stocks, which could be under pressure later this month.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure sector could be on watch for Biden's State of the Union address, as it was one of his key topics in last year's speech. The president highlighted the U.S.'s ranking compared to other countries and needing to spend more. The Global X US Infrastructure Development ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAVE#BATS">PAVE</a>) is one of the largest ETFs for the sector.
Defense Spending: Biden will also likely talk about the current wars in the Middle East and in Europe and how the United States should approach them. Biden has supported additional military aid for Israel and Ukraine, which could be a key topic during his speech. The iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>) includes many of the top defense stocks, which could benefit from increased government military spending.
Electric Vehicles: Last year, Biden prioritized electric vehicles (EVs) in his agenda and received an endorsement from the UAW. However, with some congressional members urging a slowdown on EV initiatives, it will be intriguing to see if EVs will once again be a central theme. The Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>) tracks the EV industry.
Artificial Intelligence: Last year's speech also emphasized the importance of the CHIPS Act and the semiconductor sector. This year's speech could include comments on the growth of artificial intelligence, while also focusing on the safety and guidelines for the sector. The Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) is one of the largest AI-themed ETFs available.
SPY Price Action: Biden&#8217;s State of the Union comes with the stock market trading near all-time highs. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, trades at $507.76 versus a 52-week trading range of $380.65 to $510.13.

Biden's State Of The Union May Coincide With Government Shutdown: What To Expect, Sectors To Watch

General Motor (NYSE: GM&#8217;s self-driving unit Cruise announced on Thursday it was laying off 900 workers — nearly a quarter of its entire workforce. The move comes directly after reports that after Cruise axed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36229395/gms-cruise-terminates-9-executives-amid-safety-investigation-on-pedestrian-crash-report">several of its top executives</a>. 
The signs were building over recent weeks following an accident in San Francisco in October involving one of Cruise&#8217;s vehicles and a pedestrian.
The layoffs put the future of the company in much peril and, indeed, leave the entire autonomous vehicle (AV) sector in a dubious state.
But exchange traded funds tracking the sector have performed well in the past two months, despite the negative news flow. The Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NYSE">DRIV</a>) is up 18% since the end of September.

Many analysts predict that certain companies will be beneficiaries of the Biden administration&#39;s energy policy. A number of these companies will be in the alternative energy industry. They will be given tax breaks and subsidies designed to help them prosper.
It will be hard to predict which companies will benefit the most, so investors could consider alternative energy ETFs instead of buying individual stocks. These ETFs invest in numerous stocks of many companies, and this ensures diversity.
They include the First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fan#NYSE">FAN</a>), the Invesco Solar ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tan#NASDAQ">TAN</a>), and the Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/driv#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>).

3 ETFs The Could Profit From A Green New Deal

If you invested in Tesla Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) one&nbsp;year ago, you would be up by roughly 600%.
The growth in electric vehicles isn&rsquo;t limited to this one stock:&nbsp; with the Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/driv#NYSE">DRIV</a>) being up roughly 75%. Here are three&nbsp;more companies to look into if you&rsquo;re enjoying your position in Tesla:
Nio Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nio#NYSE">NIO</a>) is often touted as the &ldquo;Tesla of China.&rdquo; The company operates in China&rsquo;s premium electric vehicle market. It designs and jointly manufactures, and sells smart and connected premium electric vehicles, driving innovations in next-generation technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving&nbsp;and artificial intelligence.
Albemarle Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/alb#NYSE">ALB</a>) is the world&#39;s largest lithium producer. The outlook for lithium demand is predicated upon increased demand for electric vehicle batteries.
Lithium is used in electric vehicle batteries and many other electric-based solutions. As the demand for clean energy solutions increases, Albemarle&rsquo;s lithium demand could increase as well.
General Motors Company&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>) makes electric vehicles, but isn&rsquo;t considered an electric vehicle company just yet. Although the automotive giant&rsquo;s electric vehicle lineup may not be seen as being on par with Tesla&#39;s right now, the company has many resources and talent at its disposal to gain a strong footing in the EV industry.
In fact, the company has committed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/21/01/19373799/general-motors-to-offer-only-evs-by-2035">offering only electric vehicles by 2035</a>. As more and more companies continue&nbsp;to shift to electric vehicles, it might be harder for Tesla to maintain its current status once EV options are more plentiful.

There are going to be three key themes for the coming year, 2021, which will make some ETFs very attractive &mdash;&nbsp;something investors should keep an eye on &mdash;&nbsp;as per&nbsp;Ned Davis Research&rsquo;s Senior Portfolio Strategist Pat Tschosik.
Cannabis sector under the Democratic President-elect Joe Biden,&nbsp;the impact of Covid-19 vaccine manufacturing and distribution, and the electric vehicles segment are expected to emerge as the key themes for 2021, Tschosik said, as <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/06/using-etfs-to-play-three-likely-big-themes-for-2021green-wave-covid-recovery-biden-agenda-ned-davis-breaks-down-how-to-play-these-themes-in-2021.html">reported</a> by CNBC.
Legalized Cannabis Under Joe Biden&rsquo;s Term: Tschosik believes that with the Democratic party at the helm of affairs, cannabis stocks may witness significant tailwinds in 2021. During the elections, four states, namely New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and Montana <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/20/11/18347489/2020-ballot-results-where-is-weed-legal">legalized</a> the possession and use of marijuana.
The Ned Davis Research&rsquo;s strategist opines that furthering cannabis legalization on a nationwide level will not only be seen as a progressive agenda of the party but also generate a new model for tax collections on a state level.
The analyst recommends buying Global X Cannabis ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/potx#NASDAQ">POTX</a>), which has gained 44.76%&nbsp;since the election day, and&nbsp;iShares US Healthcare Providers ETF&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ihf#NYSE">IHF</a>) &mdash; up&nbsp;10% in the same period, to gain exposure to the sector.
Since Nov. 3,&nbsp;Canopy Growth Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cgc#NASDAQ">CGC</a>) stock is up 39.7%, Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acb#NYSE">ACB</a>) by 122%, and Tilray Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tlry#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) by 30%.
Impact of COVID-19 Vaccine: The news of multiple successful vaccine candidates is spurring hawkish market sentiments. These sentiments are not just restricted to healthcare companies, but also other businesses like retail stores, amusement parks, cinema halls, travel, and tourism, that suffered during the lockdown.
Stocks of travel and leisure companies are set for a rebound next year and Ned Davis Research strategist believes that&nbsp;Invesco Dynamic Leisure &amp; Entertainment ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pej#NYSE">PEJ</a>) and&nbsp;US Global Jets ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jets#NYSE">JETS</a>) provide key exposure to the sector. Both the ETF&#39;s have dropped this year, with PEJ by 15% and JETS by 26%.&nbsp;
Movie theatre chain AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>) stock is up 50% since Nov. 3 and Walt Disney Company&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dis#NYSE">DIS</a>) by 24%. Airliner United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ual#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) has risen 44% since the election day. Vacation rental booking company Airbnb Inc&nbsp;is also reportedly targeting a valuation of up to $42 billion in its upscaled IPO amid high demand.
Electric Vehicles,&nbsp;Renewable Energy Sources: Tschosik believes that the next year could be marked by a systematic growth in the electric vehicles and clean energy segment, CNBC reports. &ldquo;Clean energy momentum could continue for decades given the backing from both governments and private industry,&rdquo; as per the analyst.
The senior strategist lists two promising ETFs - the First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qcln#NASDAQ">QCLN</a>) and&nbsp;Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/driv#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>) as buys for exposure to the sector. On a year-to-date basis, QCLN has gained close to 142%&nbsp;and DRIV by approximately 51%.
EV market leader Tesla Inc&rsquo;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock has jumped close to 600% since the beginning of the year. The stock rallied stronger in the second half of August and then in the second half of November.
Many Chinese EV companies raised funds from IPO listings in the U.S this year. Xpeng Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xpev#NYSE">XPEV</a>), an EV company backed by Chinese tech giant Alibaba Group Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/baba#NYSE">BABA</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/08/17282493/alibaba-backed-ev-maker-xpeng-shoots-up-41-on-nyse-debut-after-1-5b-ipo">generated</a> $1.5 billion from the IPO in late August. Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/li#NASDAQ">LI</a>) secured $1.1 billion from the IPO offering in July.

68 Stocks Trading Near 52-Week Highs Just After Open On Monday, Nov. 16, 2020:

A new study from French automaker Peugeot shows kids are pushing their parents to consider buying electric vehicles, reports&nbsp;<a href="https://cleantechnica.com/2020/11/04/peugeot-study-shows-kids-are-pushing-parents-to-buy-evs/">CleanTechnica</a>. Two notable investors and Tesla bears also got pressure from their kids to consider stock in the electric vehicle company.
Study Results: The Peugeot study polled 1,250 kids between the ages of 7 and 13 and their parents. 
The study showed that two-thirds of kids believe electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid cards are good for the planet. 
The survey showed 53% of parents and guardians were pushed by their children to buy electric vehicles. 
The same study shows 54% of children also tried to get their parents to focus on reusing and recycling around the house to help with the planet. 
Perhaps the most notable thing from the survey is the fact that 72% of parents and guardians surveyed said their children were consulted or directly involved in the selection of the family&rsquo;s next car. 
The survey could be good news for the overall electric vehicle market. 
Investors could consider investing in a leader like Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) or an electric vehicle ETF like the Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/driv#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>) to capture this trend.
Two Bears Turn Bullish: One of the most notable Tesla bears was CNBC host Jim Cramer. 
Cramer <a href="https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/former-tsla-critic-jim-cramer-explains-why-hes-now-a-tesla-true-believer">revealed</a> that it was his daughter who helped turn him into a Tesla owner and bull on the stock. 
Cramer&rsquo;s daughter traded in her Ford Motor Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>) vehicle and bought a Tesla Model 3. 
Thanks to his daughter&rsquo;s purchase and love of the vehicle, Cramer eventually test drove a Tesla. 
Trader and &quot;Shark Tank&quot; member Kevin O&rsquo;Leary said he listened to advice from his son on Tesla. 
O&rsquo;Leary <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/07/why-kevin-oleary-wouldnt-have-given-musk-a-tesla-deal-on-shark-tank.html">told CNBC</a> earlier this year that Tesla was his best performing stock year-to-date.
O&rsquo;Leary credits his son with convincing him to buy Tesla shares in 2019. 
&ldquo;My son went to work for Tesla as an intern and convinced me that it wasn&rsquo;t a car company I was investing in, it was a data technology company. Sometimes you have to think out of the box,&rdquo; he said.
Benzinga&rsquo;s Take: Cramer pointed out in a recent <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/jim-cramer/ask-the-kids-cramers-mad-money-recap-oct-21">October show </a>that kids know what&rsquo;s hot. He credited his daughter for also giving him a tip on the popularity of Snapchat from Snap Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snap#NYSE">SNAP</a>) 
So asking your kids, nieces and nephews what their favorite brands are, or what they spend their time doing on their phone, could be a way to see what the next hot stocks are.
