에 대한 최신 뉴스 Fox (NASDAQ:FOX) 주식

Fox operates in two segments: cable networks and television. Cable networks primarily includes Fox News, Fox Business, and several pay-TV sports stations. Television primarily includes the Fox broadcast network, 29 owned and operated local television stations, of which 18 are affiliated with the Fox network, and streaming platform Tubi, which is not subscription-based and is completely ad-supported. Fox effectively sold most of its entertainment assets to Disney in 2019, so it no longer creates entertainment content and relies heavily on live news and sports, with nearly all tied to the pay-TV bundle. The Murdoch family controls Fox.

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has launched a China-specific version of its RTX 5090 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42835923/jensen-huang-unveils-monster-gpus-nvidias-rtx-5000-series-starting-at-549">graphics card</a>, the RTX 5090D.
What Happened: The RTX 5090D has been designed to meet <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41209333/jensen-huang-on-china-sanctions-were-exporting-american-technology-which-is-really-terrific-for-the">U.S. trade sanctions</a>, resulting in about a 29% decrease in AI performance compared to the global RTX 5090 model.
The AI TOPS has been reduced from 3,352 to 2,375. Despite this reduction, the RTX 5090D maintains most of the specifications of its international counterpart.

The Total Processing Power (TPP) of the RTX 5090D is reported at 4,750, just below the U.S. export limit of 4,800, <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-cuts-down-the-china-specific-rtx-5090d-ai-tops-performance-by-almost-23-percent-to-meet-us-export-guidelines">reported</a> Tom's Hardware.

This move follows previous instances where Nvidia narrowly met export guidelines, drawing attention from U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
The RTX 5090D is scheduled to launch in China on Jan. 30, priced at CN¥ 16,499 ($2,250).

Why It Matters: Last year in September, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang addressed the challenges posed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/10/35345164/is-nvidia-benefiting-from-us-sanctions-on-china">U.S. sanctions on China</a>. He said, "Nvidia is an American company, and our government and the administration would love to see us succeed."
The restrictions aim to block China from leveraging advanced AI chips for military applications, which pose <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40523419/chinese-firms-are-reportedly-accessing-high-end-nvidia-ai-chips-using-aws-and-microsoft-cloud-servic">potential national security concerns</a>.
However, these measures have also complicated Nvidia&#8217;s ability to sell its high-performance chips in China—a key market that accounted for about 17% of its fiscal 2024 revenue.
Nvidia&#8217;s stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42862049/nvidia-stock-closed-tuesday-down-6-after-hitting-all-time-highs-what-happened">experienced a 6% drop</a> after hitting all-time highs on Tuesday, following product announcements at CES 2025. During the event, Huang also unveiled a collaboration with Toyota to integrate its Orin chips into advanced driver-assistance systems.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock dropped 6.22% on Tuesday, closing at $140.14. However, it rebounded in after-hours trading, rising 1.04% to $141.60, as per <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nvidia 5000 Series: RTX 5090 Version For China Costs $250 More But Its AI Power Cut 29% — Here's Why

E-commerce giants Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and MercadoLibre Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MELI#NASDAQ">MELI</a>) are positioned to strengthen their market dominance in Mexico following the country&#8217;s implementation of new import tariffs targeting Asian competitors, according to Itau BBA analysts.
What Happened: Mexico <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780039/amazons-chinese-rivals-temu-and-shein-got-hit-hard-by-tariffs-in-this-country-is-it-a-sign-of-things-to-come-under-trump">imposed a 19% tax on courier service imports</a> from nations without free-trade agreements, primarily affecting Chinese fast-fashion retailers Shein and PDD Holdings Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) Temu. The move comes as Mexico intensifies scrutiny of Chinese imports amid broader trade tensions with Asia.
The policy maintains preferential treatment for U.S. and Canadian imports under the USMCA trade agreement, with exemptions for purchases under $50 and a reduced 17% duty on items valued between $50 and $117. 
This structure particularly benefits Amazon, which sources approximately 30% of its Mexican inventory from the U.S., Itau BBA said, according to Reuters.
While MercadoLibre imports about 15% of its Mexican merchandise from China, analysts expect the company to see net positive effects from reduced competition. The development follows Mexico&#8217;s recent implementation of additional protective measures, including a 35% tariff on finished fabric products and a 15% duty on raw textiles.

Why It Matters: The timing is significant as President-elect Donald Trump has promised &#8220;very serious&#8221; tariffs on Mexican imports, citing concerns about the country serving as a conduit for Chinese goods. Mexican authorities have responded with &#8220;Operation Clean-Up,&#8221; targeting contraband Asian imports.
&#8220;The policy appears designed to close loopholes that previously allowed companies, primarily from China, to redirect goods to the local market through preferential import channels,&#8221; Itau BBA analysts wrote, highlighting the potential for established e-commerce players to capture market share.
The measures come as Mexico grapples with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780039/amazons-chinese-rivals-temu-and-shein-got-hit-hard-by-tariffs-in-this-country-is-it-a-sign-of-things-to-come-under-trump">inflation above 4%</a>, a factor that had previously helped Asian retailers gain market share through competitive pricing strategies.

Leading executives of the blockchain-based company Ripple Labs met with President-elect Donald Trump, displaying strong bonhomie and potential cooperation for the future.
What happened: On Tuesday, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse posted a photo of himself and the firm's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, with Trump on X.
"Great dinner last night with Donald Trump &amp; Stuart Alderoty," Garlinghouse wrote. "Strong start to 2025!" Trump was seen giving a thumbs-up in the photo.

Why It Matters: The camaraderie comes on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42808375/ripple-ceo-celebrates-trumps-impact-on-crypto-industry-says-34th-of-companys-new-hires-us-based">recent disclosure</a> by Garlinghouse that the company's hiring and business deals have become U.S.-focused since Trump's win in the November elections.
He said that about 75% of open roles are now based in the U.S., contrasting with the last four years when the majority of the hires were from outside.
That's not all. Since the elections, XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), a cryptocurrency strongly tied to Ripple's operations, has soared 363% in value.
The coin's Open Interest has ballooned from $690 million just before the elections to $4.25 billion as of this writing, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest">according </a>to Coinglass, reflecting a 515% surge. A jump in Open Interest implies strong speculative interest.
Some of XRP's technical indicators were also supportive. The Bull Bear Power indicator, used for measuring the strength of buyers and sellers in the market, flashed a &#8220;Buy&#8221; signal for the coin, according to TradingView.
Most moving average indicators also showed a "Buy" reading, indicating that the asset was in an uptrend.
Price Action: At the time of writing, XRP was exchanging hands at $2.33, down 2.98% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump Meets Top Ripple Executives — CEO Says 'Strong Start To 2025' As Technicals Favor XRP Bulls

Tencent Holdings Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited, two of China&#8217;s leading technology companies, are preparing legal challenges after being added to the U.S. Department of Defense&#8217;s list of Chinese Military Companies on Wednesday.
What Happened: The designation, which primarily affects U.S. defense procurement, triggered significant market reactions. Tencent&#8217;s shares fell 7.8% in Hong Kong trading on Tuesday, while CATL&#8217;s stock dropped 6% in Shenzhen. Both companies strongly denied any military connections and announced plans to engage with U.S. authorities.
Tencent, a major gaming and social media conglomerate, stated in a regulatory filing that it is &#8220;neither a Chinese military company nor a military-civil fusion contributor.&#8221; The company, led by Chairman Ma Huateng, emphasized that the listing wouldn&#8217;t affect its broader business operations or securities trading.
Tencent owns Riot Games, and Supercell, and has stakes in Reddit, Snap, and Epic Games.
CATL, a key supplier to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), similarly rejected the designation, stating it has &#8220;never engaged in any military-related business or activities.&#8221; The company assured shareholders that the listing would not substantially impact its operations.
Both Tencent and CATL have initiated reconsideration processes and indicated their willingness to pursue legal action if necessary.

Why It Matters: This development comes amid escalating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/39057312/chinese-firms-blacklisted-in-us-rebrand-themselves-as-american-to-avoid-sanctions-imposed-by-biden-a">U.S.-China trade tensions</a>. China&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce recently imposed new trade controls, adding 28 U.S. companies to an export control list and restricting major defense contractors like Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) from operating in China.
Despite these challenges, Tencent continues to show <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/01/42827152/tencent-strengthens-video-leadership-showcases-revenue-growth-potential-analyst">strong business fundamentals</a>. Goldman Sachs recently maintained a Buy rating on the company, citing its leadership in video entertainment and artificial intelligence development. The company&#8217;s WeChat ecosystem remains robust, with users accessing the app 40-50 times daily.
The Pentagon&#8217;s designation specifically relates to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42838053/us-adds-tencent-tesla-supplier-catl-to-chinese-military-blacklist-shares-tumble">Section 1260H list compliance</a>, which serves as a warning mechanism for U.S. entities but does not prohibit general business dealings or securities transactions with listed companies. 
Price Action: Tencent&#8217;s stock is trading at HK$ 373.60 ($48.04) on Wednesday, down 1.58% for the day. Over the past year, the stock has gained 29.51%. 
CATL&#8217;s stock is currently trading at CNY 246.28 ($33.59) on Wednesday, down 1.27% for the day. Over the past year, the stock has surged 64.09%.

What Happened: Bitcoin fell to $96,200 late afternoon before dip-buying propelled the leading cryptocurrency up a few notches. This comes a day after it hit $100,000 after a gap of more than two weeks.
Ethereum's decline was steeper as the second-largest cryptocurrency lost nearly 8% of its value in 24 hours, plunging to $3,880.
Cryptocurrency liquidations hit $559 million in the last 24 hours, the highest since Dec. 20. More than $500 million in long liquidations was witnessed.
Top traders on Binance seemed to be buying the dip, as over 63% of them were long on Bitcoin, compared to 36% shorting the cryptocurrency.&nbsp;
About $555 million in short positions risked liquidation if Bitcoin rebounds to $100,000.&nbsp;
The slump cooled the sentiment from "Extreme Greed" to "Greed," according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization slumped 5.29% to $3.39 trillion in the last 24 hours.
Stocks faced heavy sell-offs on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 178.20 points, or 0.42%, to close at 42,528.36. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slipped 1.89%, ending at 19,489.68, while the S&amp;P 500 fell 1.11% to 5,909.03.
The decline followed a report revealing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42850914/us-services-sector-growth-tops-forecasts-but-price-pressures-tariff-concerns-cloud-outlook">stronger-than-expected U.S. services sector growth</a>, but a steep increase in the Prices Index stoked fears about inflationary pressures.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders priced in a 95% chance that the current interest rate range of 4.25%-4.50% would remain unchanged, up from 91% the day before.
While the equities sold off, yields on risk-free debt rose. The benchmark Treasury yield hit 4.69, its highest since late April.

Analyst Notes: Popular cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe weighed in on Bitcoin's latest correction.
"Couldn&#8217;t hold above $98-100,000 and we&#8217;re dropping down. Likely this is going to give a period of consolidation," the analyst predicted.
However, he added that once the correction ends, the entire market will rally, with altcoins witnessing the "strongest bounces."

Ali Martinez, a widely followed cryptocurrency expert,&nbsp; highlighted the significance of $97,000 as support for Bitcoin.
"If this support holds, BTC may rebound. A break below $97,000, however, could open the door for a dip to $92,000," Martinez projected.

Nvidia, Palantir, Ionq, Novavax, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

On Tuesday, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) announced plans to invest $11 billion in Georgia through its cloud division, Amazon Web Services.
What Happened: This investment aims to bolster infrastructure for cloud computing and artificial intelligence technologies.
With the investment in Butts and Douglas counties, "we expect to create more than 550 well-paying jobs," said Roger Wehner, vice president of economic development at AWS.

The expansion of AI and cloud computing has also led to increased electricity consumption in the U.S.
The Electric Power Research Institute projects that by 2030, data centers could account for as much as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40599343/amazon-microsoft-and-other-us-tech-giants-compete-with-bitcoin-miners-over-scarce-energy-s">9% of the electricity produced</a> in the U.S., more than twice their current usage.
Amazon has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40969515/amazon-going-nuclear-hiring-plans-indicate-company-may-be-eyeing-nuclear-to-meet-energy-needs">secured agreements</a> with U.S. utilities, including Talen Energy in Pennsylvania and Entergy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) in Mississippi, to power its data centers across the country.
Why It Matters: Amazon's initiative is part of a larger trend among tech giants to invest heavily in AI. Earlier this month, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) announced an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801720/microsoft-to-invest-80-billion-in-ai-data-centers-for-fiscal-2025">$80 billion investment</a> for fiscal 2025 to train AI models and deploy cloud applications.
In 2024, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang also identified a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40617133/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-identifies-1-trillion-opportunity-amid-generative-ai-shift-data-centers-">$1 trillion opportunity</a>.
"The world builds about $1 trillion worth of data centers. In a few years, $1 trillion worth of data centers will be all accelerated computing," he said during Nvidia's second-quarter earning call.
In December 2024, Amazon also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42356920/amazon-halts-inferentia-ai-chip-development-to-take-on-nvidia-how-trainium-is-shaping-up-to-be-the-new-weapon-in-ai-chip-wars">decided to halt the development</a> of its Inferentia AI chip, focusing instead on the Trainium chip to improve cost performance in AI model training.
Price Action: Amazon's stock fell 2.42% on Tuesday, closing at $222.11. However, it recovered slightly with a 0.11% gain in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Amazon AWS To Invest $11 Billion In Georgia To Boost AI And Cloud Infrastructure: 'Expect To Create More Than 550 Well-Paying Jobs'

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made some significant adjustments to its portfolio. The most notable of these was the sale of shares in Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) across multiple ETFs, coupled with a substantial sale of ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>).
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to offload Palantir shares may come as a surprise to many, given the company&#8217;s impressive 355% surge over the past 12 months. The investment firm continued to dump shares of the hot stock. On Tuesday, it offloaded 4,890 shares valued at $342,251 through ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) and Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>). Palantir stock ended the day sharply lower by 7.8% at $69.99. Tuesday&#8217;s sale follows Ark&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/01/42843542/palantir-stock-the-ark-is-rocking-as-palantirs-rally-hits-resistance">disposal of shares</a> worth roughly $15 million on Monday. Despite the sale, Wood remains a long-time supporter of tech disruptors. However, this move underscores growing concerns about Palantir's valuation, especially following Morgan Stanley&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42835613/jim-cramer-predicts-palantir-buying-surge-tonight-after-morgan-stanleys-underweight-rating-unless-another-analyst-starts-with-a-sell">recent downgrade</a> to "underweight," setting a $60 price target on the stock.
The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Trade
On the same day, Ark Invest also made a significant sale of its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETF. The firm sold 18,239 ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF units from ARKW. On Tuesday ARKB ended the day 5.8% lower at $96.19. Bitcoin was seen trading 5.2% lower at $96,728.42 at the time of writing. Significantly lower than the psychologically important $100K mark.
This trade comes amidst a favorable environment for crypto gains. Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes predicted Bitcoin&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42854789/bitcoin-could-peak-by-late-march-arthur-hayes-says-heres-why">price could peak</a> in late March 2025 due to increased dollar liquidity. He highlighted liquidity injections from the Fed&#8217;s Reverse Repo Facility and Treasury&#8217;s General Account, cautioning the positive trend may reverse with debt ceiling pressures.

Cathie Wood's Tuesday Double Dump: Ark Invest Trims Both Palantir And Bitcoin ETF Holdings

The U.S. financial markets will observe an extraordinary trading pause on Thursday, to honor former President Jimmy Carter&#8216;s state funeral, marking only the fourth such closure for a presidential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers-shakers/24/12/42716329/jimmy-carter-the-39th-us-president-who-championed-human-rights-and-peace-in-the-middle-east-had-died">remembrance in modern market history</a>. 
What Happened: The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will suspend all trading operations, while the bond market will see a shortened session closing at 2 p.m. ET, as recommended by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. 
This follows President Joe Biden&#8216;s executive order declaring Jan. 9 a national day of mourning for Carter, who died on Dec 29 at age 100.
While U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42725647/markets-will-close-for-president-jimmy-carters-state-funeral-what-you-need-to-know">financial markets and post offices will close</a>, most banks will maintain regular operations as the day is not designated as a federal holiday. 
The market closure has sparked debate within the financial community. Notably, Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42737155/bill-ackman-questions-stock-market-closure-to-honor-jimmy-carter-calls-it-shutting-down-commerce">questioned the practice</a>, arguing on social media platform X that &#8220;closing the market is synonymous with shutting down commerce.&#8221; However, NYSE Group President Lynn Martin defended the decision, emphasizing Carter&#8217;s public service legacy.

Why It Matters: Carter&#8217;s presidential tenure (1977-1981) was marked by significant economic challenges, including peak inflation of 13.5%. His appointment of Paul Volcker as Federal Reserve chairman proved pivotal in establishing monetary policies that would later tame inflation, though these measures <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/12/42734155/jimmy-carters-complex-economic-legacy-high-inflation-but-effective-hawkish-fed-under-volcker">contributed to his re-election defeat</a>.
For modern investors, Carter&#8217;s economic legacy includes the successful $1.5 billion government-backed rescue of Chrysler Corporation in 1980, which established a precedent for major corporate interventions. The automaker, now part of Stellantis N.V., ultimately repaid $12.5 billion in government loans.
The temporary market closure follows similar observances for former Presidents George H.W. Bush in 2018 and Gerald R. Ford in 2007.

Jimmy Carter's Funeral: Markets And Post Offices Closed, Banks Stay Open On Jan. 9

Elon Musk, on Tuesday, predicted a potential drop in prices of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) if dollar inflation is addressed.
What Happened: The Tesla and Space X CEO expressed his views on how cryptocurrencies would benefit if inflation and government overspending were curbed
&#8220;If dollar inflation is solved, the price in dollars to buy cryptocurrency will actually drop, other things being equal,&#8221; Musk wrote in an X post. &#8220;What matters is the ratio of dollars to cryptocurrency.&#8221;

Elon Musk Foresees Drop In Bitcoin, Dogecoin Prices If Dollar Inflation Solved: 'What Matters Is The Ratio…'

Sony Group Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) co-founder Akio Morita once in an interview delivered a scathing critique of corporate leaders who prioritize quarterly profits over the long-term health of their companies.
What Happened:&nbsp; He spoke about the common practice of treating businesses as commodities rather than communities of people.
"A company is just like a family, like a home. We are working together, and this group of people working in the same direction should not be treated just like a commodity," he stated.
The legendary co-founder expressed concern over how executives often make drastic cuts during economic downturns, such as mass layoffs, to protect profits.
"Recession was not caused by these employees," he said, adding, "Yet, these employees are fired, losing business, still management stays to keep its profit. I am wondering, where are the human rights of these employees?"

Morita also criticized the practice of new management writing off previous losses to make themselves look good while avoiding investments in the company's long-term future.

Why It Matters: Morita&#8217;s passing in 1999 marked the end of an era for Sony Corp. and the Japanese business community.
A Harris <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1999/10/04/business/akio-morita-co-founder-of-sony-and-japanese-business-leader-dies-at-78.html">poll</a> conducted a year before his passing, revealed that Sony ranked as the top brand among American consumers, surpassing iconic U.S. companies such as General Electric and Coca-Cola.
Under Morita's leadership, Sony made history as the first Japanese company to list its stock in the U.S. in 1961 and became a trailblazer again in 1972 by establishing one of the first Japanese-owned factories on American soil.
Sony currently has a market cap of $126.28 billion, making it the world's 127th most valuable company. The company&#8217;s stock experienced a 13.1% increase in 2024, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Japanese corporate culture values lifetime employment. Companies prioritize job security and employee loyalty to ensure stability. This contrasts with the U.S., where flexibility and frequent job changes are common.
Japanese firms also avoid mergers and acquisitions. Instead, they focus on organic growth and long-term relationships over quick profits.

Sony Was The First Japanese Company To List On US Markets, Co-Founder Akio Morita Championed 'Workers As Family' Philosophy — Does His Vision Still Resonate Today?

President-elect Donald Trump spotlighted artificial intelligence and drilling expansion as pillars of his economic vision Tuesday, pledging to foster AI-driven innovation while slashing energy<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/regulations"> costs through expanded deregulation.</a>
During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump outlined plans to accelerate America's leadership in artificial intelligence by supporting private investments in data centers and energy infrastructure.
"A lot of people don&#8217;t realize that AI is going to be a big thing but you'll need double the electricity at least that we have right now," Trump said, hinting at the plan to markedly raise U.S. energy production to meet fast-growing AI demands.
He indicated that expanding access to oil and gas is critical to keeping energy costs low and powering future industry.
Calling Biden's offshore drilling ban "a crime" against America's economic potential, Trump pledged to overturn the policy immediately upon taking office. "We're going to be drilling, and energy costs are going to come way down," he said.
According to Trump, reversing Biden&#8217;s offshore drilling ban would unlock 625 million acres of offshore reserves valued at $50 to $60 trillion.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Pledges Faster Permits</h1>
Trump contrasted the U.S. permitting delays with China's rapid expansion of energy infrastructure, which he said is fueling its artificial intelligence sector. 
He called out the U.S. permitting system as a major barrier to economic progress, particularly in the energy sector.
"China is already building massive electric facilities, and you know how they're being fired up? With coal," Trump said. 
The tycoon pledged to streamline environmental permitting for large-scale projects, promising expedited reviews for companies investing $1 billion or more in the U.S. economy. 
"We're going to move them quickly through the environmental process," Trump said, referencing delays that have sometimes lasted more than a decade. 
"I've seen plants in Louisiana where I got it approved in literally a week after they spent 14 and a half years trying to get it done."
Trump framed this regulatory overhaul as essential for keeping America competitive, particularly in energy and artificial intelligence. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h1>
U.S. oil and gas stocks outperformed on Tuesday, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) up by 1%, yet trimming session gains in afternoon trading.
The broader energy sector&#8217;s price action showed little sign of bullish momentum after Trump&#8217;s remarks.
Among individual names, Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) gained 2.8%, Texas Pacific Land Corp.

Trump Vows To Power AI Boom With Expanded Oil Drilling: 'Need Double The Electricity At Least That We Have Right Now'

On Tuesday, Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada&#8217;s Conservative Party, has publicly denounced the idea proposed by President-elect Trump of making Canada the 51st state of the United States. 
What Happened: Poilievre took to social media platform X to voice his disagreement with Trump&#8217;s proposition. He asserted, &#8220;Canada will never be the 51st state. Period. We are a great and independent country.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Trump has been mulling over the idea of integrating Canada into the United States for several weeks. He clarified on Tuesday that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42860583/trump-floats-canada-as-51st-us-state-says-hes-ready-to-use-economic-force-to-achieve-it">does not intend to employ military force</a>, but rather &#8220;economic force&#8221; against the close U.S. ally.
Seizing this opportunity, Poilievre, who is a potential candidate for the next Prime Minister, criticized the current NDP-Liberal government and pledged to &#8220;fight for Canada.&#8221;
He outlined his vision for Canada, stating, &#8220;When&nbsp;I am Prime Minister, we&nbsp;will rebuild our military and&nbsp;take back control of the&nbsp;border to secure both Canada&nbsp;and the U.S. We will&nbsp;take back control of our&nbsp;Arctic to keep Russia and&nbsp;China out. We will axe&nbsp;taxes, slash red tape and&nbsp;rapidly green-light massive resource projects&nbsp;to bring home paycheques and&nbsp;production to our country.&#8221;
He concluded by saying, &#8220;In other words, we will put Canada First.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This development follows a series of events that have strained U.S.-Canada relations. In December, Trump <a href="http://I will fight for Canada.">humorously referred</a> to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as &#8220;Governor&#8221; of Canada, hinting at his idea of making Canada the 51st state of America. This was followed by reports that Canada might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42475000/if-trump-starts-a-trade-war-canada-could-impose-export-taxes-on-oil-uranium-report">impose export taxes</a> on goods like oil and uranium if Trump initiated a trade war.

The following day, Trump suggested that Canada could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42860583/trump-floats-canada-as-51st-us-state-says-hes-ready-to-use-economic-force-to-achieve-it">become the 51st U.S. state</a>, criticizing trade imbalances and subsidies.

'Canada will never be the 51st state. Period': Pierre Poilievre Slams Trump's Push For Annexation

President-elect Donald Trump told reporters at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday that he cannot rule out the use of military force in his quest for U.S. control of Greenland and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42860583/trump-floats-canada-as-51st-us-state-says-hes-ready-to-use-economic-force-to-achieve-it">the Panama Canal.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: A reporter asked if Trump could assure the American public that he would not use military force in an attempt to gain control of Greenland and the Panama Canal. Trump responded that he cannot make that assurance.&nbsp;
"No, I can't assure you on either of those two, but I can say this, we need them for economic security," Trump responded.

Greenland: Trump has previously expressed a desire to acquire the Danish territory of Greenland during his first term as president and again following the 2024 election. His son Donald Trump Jr. made <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42857403/trump-sends-don-jr-on-mission-to-get-the-deal-done-and-make-greenland-part-of-our-nation">a short visit</a> to Greenland on Tuesday, arriving in Nuuk, Greenland's capital and home to approximately 57,000 residents, where he spent at least five hours.
Trump also stated that the U.S. needs Greenland for national security purposes during the same press conference on Tuesday.&nbsp;
"You have approximately 45,000 people there. People really don't even know that Denmark has any legal right to it, but if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security," Trump said.&nbsp;
He said that the U.S. could impose tariffs on Denmark &#8220;a very high level&#8221; if it stood in the way of Greenland choosing independence or to join the U.S. 
Panama Canal: Trump shared similar ideas for taking control of the Panama Canal which he has said the U.S. gave as a gift to Panama. He has also expressed the belief that Panama has given control of the canal to China and the U.S. could take it back. 
"The Panama Canal is vital to our country. It's being operated by China. China! We gave the Panama Canal to Panama, we didn't give it to China. And they abused that gift," he added.

Trump Does Not Rule Out Military Force To Acquire Panama Canal, Greenland: 'We Need Them For Economic Security'

Automaker Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) made its presence at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42775636/ces-2025-preview-nvidia-amd-in-spotlight-other-trends-and-stocks-to-watch">2025 CES conference</a> felt announcing new plans for the space sector and an update on its city for inventors.
From Cars to Rockets: Toyota might be following in the footsteps of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk by also getting into the space sector, which was one of the hottest areas for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42828631/exclusive-rocket-lab-intuitive-machines-redwire-or-ast-spacemobile-33-of-readers-pick-this-space-stock-for-2025"> investors in 2024.</a>
Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda said the company is looking to the space sector as one of its examples of "invention by multiplication," while speaking at CES.
"When it comes to what's possible when you work together, the sky's the limit. And speaking of the sky, we're exploring rockets, too," Toyoda said, as <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/06/toyota-is-exploring-rockets-made-first-investment-interstellar-technologies/">reported </a>by TechCrunch.
While Toyota's interest in space and rockets could put the company head-to-head with Musk and SpaceX, Toyoda may have amplified the future battle with a comment.
"The future of mobility shouldn't be limited to just Earth, or just one car company."
Toyota's presentation included a rendering of a rocket designed by Japanese spaceflight company Interstellar Technologies.
The Toyota chairman said the company is working with Interstellar Technologies on telecommunications to support its prototype Woven City in Japan.
Toyota confirmed to TechCrunch that Woven by Toyota invested around $44.3 million in Interstellar Technologies. Woven by Toyota is the company's mobility subsidiary working on items such as automated driving, vehicle operating systems and Woven City.
While Toyota didn't provide many details on its space ambitions, a tease of a rocket, announcing an investment in a spaceflight company and more could signal the company's desire to grow in this segment for the future.
Toyota is a competitor with Tesla as one of the largest automakers by production annually. Toyota has focused more on hybrid vehicles than battery electric vehicles in recent years.
While Toyota is a competitor to Tesla, the launch of a space division or heavier investment in the sector would also put the company in direct competition with SpaceX. While Tesla and SpaceX are separate companies, they are both led by Musk and this could create quite the battle against the world's richest man.

Woven City Takes Shape: Toyota <a href="https://woven.toyota/en/our-latest/20250107-01">shared </a>its plan for Woven City back at CES 2020 and now the launch is set for this year.
Located in Japan, Woven City is called a city for inventors and will serve as a test course for mobility for Toyota and other partner companies.
"Woven City is a test course for mobility where ‘inventors' who share a commitment for working ‘for someone other than themselves' can develop, test and validate innovative products and services," the company said.
The list of partners includes some Toyota Group companies, external companies, startups and individual entrepreneurs. Partners include Daikin Industries, UCC Japan and Nissin Food Products.
Construction for Phase 1 buildings was completed in October 2024 with the official launch coming later this year. Site preparation work is also underway for Phase 2.
Around 100 residents, primarily Toyota Group staff and their families, will be part of Phase 1's initial launch with a total of 360 residents expected in the entire Phase 1 wave. Phase 2 and other phases will take Woven City to a population of around 2,000 inventors.
In the future, co-creation activities and visitors will also be welcomed to Woven City to visit and participate.
Woven City is part of Woven by Toyota's plan to expand mobility "from land, sea, and air to space."
The company has invested billions of dollars into the concept with the hope that combining inventors and providing the tools could help unlock autonomous vehicle technology on a built-in test course and also bring in inventions in the areas of AI, energy, space and more, as <a href="https://insideevs.com/news/746348/toyota-woven-city-ces/">reported </a>by InsideEVs.
Woven City members will need residence status in Japan to live there for one to two years, the company said. Applications and scholarships will open later this year for potential residency in Woven City.
While new technologies that generate revenue for Toyota could come out of Woven City, Toyota shareholders might not like the chairman's overall vision.
"At Woven City, we are trying to have a project that will never be completed," Toyoda told media at CES. "That's because we are trying to create the future. The purpose of this project is not to make money."

내셔널 풋볼 리그(NFL)는 추수 감사절에 몇 가지 기록을 세우면서 2024 시즌의 강력한 시청률을 누리고 있다. 이는 스트리밍 거대 기업인 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)가 환영할 만한 소식이다. 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42042640/netflix-crash-hits-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-can-streaming-platform-handle-christmas-day-nfl-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">라이브 복싱 이벤트</a>로 어려움을 겪은 이후 긴장하고 있을 수도 있기 때문이다.
무슨 일 있었나: 많은 사람들이 크리스마스에 선물을 열고 가족과 함께 즐거운 시간을 보내지만, 추수감사절에 축하했던 것과 마찬가지로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38850110/netflix-to-stream-2-nfl-christmas-day-games-analyst-sees-strong-growth-potential" target="_blank" rel="noopener">두 개의 독점 NFL 경기</a>를 보기 위해 넷플릭스를 시청할 것이다.
넷플릭스는 크리스마스에 처음으로 NFL 경기를 생중계하며, 스포츠 분야에서 넷플릭스의 성장을 다시 한 번 보여줄 수 있는 두 가지 주요 경기를 중계할 예정이다.
동부표준시 기준 오후 1시에는 피츠버그 스틸러스와 캔자스시티 치프스 경기, 오후 4시 30분에는 볼티모어 레이븐스와 휴스턴 텍사스의 경기가 넷플릭스에서 스트리밍된다.
NFL 시청률은 2024 시즌에 좋았는데, 이는 최근 제이크 폴과 마이크 타이슨의 헤드라인 매치가 있었던 라이브 복싱 이벤트에서 어려움을 겪었던 넷플릭스에 좋은 소식이 될 수도 있고 나쁜 소식이 될 수도 있다.
넷플릭스는 당시 6천만 가구 이상이 복싱 이벤트를 시청했으며, 최고 시청자 수는 6천 5백만 명에 달했다고 보고했다. 하지만 해당 이벤트로 인해 수십만 명의 사람들이 스트리밍 문제를 신고하고 회사를 상대로 집단 소송이 제기되었다.
NFL은 최근 추수감사절에 방영된 세 경기가 1988년 이후 데이터 기준 역대 신기록을 <a href="https://media.nfl.com/news-and-releases/corporate-communications/2024-thanksgiving-day-games-set-viewership-records" target="_blank" rel="noopener">세웠다고 발표했다.</a> 세 경기의 시청자 수는 1억 4,100만 명으로 신기록을 세웠으며, 경기당 평균 시청자 수는 3,420만 명으로 또 다른 신기록을 세웠다.
파라마운트 글로벌의 계열사인 CBS에서 방영된 디트로이트 라이온스와 시카고 베어스의 경기는 추수감사절 당일 경기 중 가장 높은 평균 시청자 수인 3,750만 명을 기록하며 신기록을 세웠다.
폭스의 계열사인 FOX에서 열린 댈러스 카우보이스와 뉴욕 자이언츠의 정오 경기는 평균 3,880만 명의 시청자가 시청하여 역대 추수감사절 경기 중 네 번째로 많은 시청자가 시청한 경기이자, 역대 정규 시즌 NFL 경기 중 다섯 번째로 많은 시청자가 시청했다.

왜 중요한가: 추수감사절 경기는 휴일에 사람들이 쉬고 함께 경기를 시청하는 이벤트 중심의 특성으로 인해 오랫동안 높은 시청률을 기록해 왔다. 이런 추세는 크리스마스에도 비슷할 수 있으므로 넷플릭스가 첫 NFL 경기의 높은 시청률을 기대할 수 있음을 의미한다.
비교하자면, 목요일 밤 미식축구 경기에 대한 독점 스트리밍 권한을 가진 아마존(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)은 이번 시즌 평균 1,330만 명의 시청자를 확보하고 있으며 이는 전년 대비 8% 증가한 수치다.
또한 아마존은 2년 연속으로 블랙 프라이데이에 독점 경기를 스트리밍했다. 라스베이거스 레이더스와 캔자스시티 치프스의 경기는 전년 대비 41% 증가한 <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/amazons-nfl-black-friday-game-ratings-up-41-from-2023/">평균</a> 1,351만 명의 시청자가 시청했다.
높은 시청률은 아마존의 평균 시청률을 초과했는데, 이는 경기가 치열하게 진행되고 치프스가 레이더스의 막판 추격에서 살아남아 승리했기 때문이다. 치프스는 이번 시즌 가장 많이 시청된 NFL 팀으로 전국 TV 경기 중 가장 높은 평균 시청률을 기록했다.
넷플릭스가 엄청난 시청률을 기록할 가능성은 높지만, 가장 큰 문제는 수요를 감당하고 복싱 경기 때와 같은 문제 없이 경기를 보여줄 수 있느냐는 것이다.
치프스(11-1), 스틸러스(9-3), 레이븐스(8-5), 텍사스(8-5)는 NFL 최고의 팀으로 각 팀이 디비전 1, 2위를 차지하고 있으며 오늘 시즌이 종료되면 현재 네 팀 모두 NFL 플레이오프에 진출할 수 있는 팀이다.
또한 텍사스의 경기에는 비욘세의 하프타임 공연이 예정되어 있어 축구 팬이 아닌 잠재적 시청자들도 휴일에 시청할 수 있다.
정리하자면 NFL 최고의 팀이 펼치는 두 경기, 사람들이 함께 스포츠를 시청하는 휴일, 글로벌 슈퍼스타의 하프타임 공연, NFL에서 가장 많이 시청하는 팀의 경기, 테일러 스위프트가 치프스 경기에 참석할 가능성을 앞두고 있다.
넷플릭스 주가 움직임: 넷플릭스 주가는 목요일(5일) 장중 사상 최고가인 927달러를 기록한 후 0.75% 상승한 917.87달러로 마감했다. 넷플릭스 주식은 2024년 현재까지 96% 상승했다.
