Quantum Computing, Taiwan Semiconductor, Meta, Intuitive Surgical, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Wall Street staged a strong rebound on Wednesday, as mixed inflation data bolstered investor confidence in the Federal Reserve's continuation of easing cycle in 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43001512/inflation-rises-to-29-in-december-core-slows-yet-rising-energy-costs-put-feds-target-at-risk">easing recent market anxieties.</a>
The headline Consumer Price Index rose 2.9% year-over-year in December, up from November&#8217;s 2.7% and aligning with economist forecasts. On a monthly basis, headline inflation increased by 0.4%, up from November&#8217;s 0.3%, marking the sharpest monthly rise since March 2024.
The inflation report strengthened market expectations for Fed rate cuts in 2025. The probability of a rate cut by June climbed to 63%, up from 55% the previous day, with December futures now pricing in a 50% chance of two rate cuts.
The S&amp;P 500 advanced 1.5% by midday trading in New York, and the Dow Jones followed suit with a similar gain, both supported by strength in financial stocks. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed, rising 1.9%, while small-cap stocks posted a 1.7% gain.
Key financial giants, including JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) surged nearly 2.2%, leading all S&amp;P 500 sectors and recording its strongest one-day gain in over two months.
In the bond market, yields on the 2-year Treasury note, which is highly sensitive to interest rate expectations, fell 9 basis points to 4.28%, while 30-year yields dropped 8 basis points to 4.89%. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) gained 1.3% as bond prices rose.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), remained flat, with dollar strength against the euro offset by weakness versus the yen.
West Texas Intermediate — as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) — rallied 2%, hitting $80 a barrel during the day amid a stronger-than-expected drop in commercial crude stocks last week.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) jumped 2.6%, nearing $99,000, buoyed by optimism surrounding potential Fed rate cuts. Meanwhile, gold, tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), gained 0.5%.

Wall Street Rallies As Treasury Yields Fall, Banks Smash Q4 Earnings, Oil Hits $80: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday after the company reported preliminary financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43002040/intuitive-announces-preliminary-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results">for the fourth quarter</a>. 
What Happened: Intuitive Surgical said it expects to report fourth-quarter revenue of approximately $2.41 billion, versus analyst estimates of $2.2 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
The company expects worldwide da Vinci procedures&nbsp;to grow approximately&nbsp;18%&nbsp;compared with the&nbsp;fourth quarter&nbsp;of 2023. Intuitive Surgical expects to report 493 da Vinci surgical systems placed in the quarter. 
&#8220;We are pleased with customer adoption of da Vinci 5, Ion, and SP during the quarter and full year. We remain focused on delivering the goals we share with our customers, centered on improving patient outcomes,&#8221; said Gary Guthart, CEO of Intuitive Surgical. 
Intuitive Surgical released its preliminary results ahead of a presentation Wednesday at the 2025 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. The company is scheduled to report its full fourth-quarter earnings results on Jan. 23. Intuitive Surgical noted that it will discuss the quarter in more detail at that time.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy ISRG Stock</h3>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Intuitive Surgical &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. In the case of Intuitive Surgical, which is trading at $538.88 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.19 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
ISRG Price Action: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ISRG" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Intuitive Surgical shares</a> were up 6.40% at $573.40 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/gxjhpowx7zks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why Intuitive Surgical Shares Are Surging Wednesday

Major indices rallied on Wednesday after December inflation data showed underlying price pressures slowing, reducing fears of a prolonged pause in interest rate cuts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43001512/inflation-rises-to-29-in-december-core-slows-yet-rising-energy-costs-put-feds-target-at-risk">by the Federal Reserve. </a>
The headline Consumer Price Index rose 2.9% year-over-year in December, up from November's 2.7%, matching economist forecasts. On a monthly basis, headline inflation increased 0.4%, accelerating from the 0.3% surge in November and marking the largest monthly rise since March 2024.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 3.2% year-over-year, slightly below the expected 3.3%. Month-over-month, core prices gained 0.2%, in line with forecasts.
The inflation data boosted expectations for Fed rate cuts in 2025. The probability of a rate cut by June rose to 68% from 55% the previous day, with December futures now indicating a 58% chance of two cuts by year-end.

Intuitive Surgical shares are trading higher after the company reported strong preliminary Q4 results.

Intuitive Sees Prelim. Q4 Revenue ~$2.41B vs $2.204B Est.; FY24 Revenue $8.35B

Scorpion Capital, on Friday, disclosed a short seller report on TransMedics Group Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMDX#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>), accusing the organ transplant technology company of fraudulent practices, including kickbacks, billing fraud and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TMDX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">unreported device failures</a>.
Scorpion alleges that TransMedics engages in &#8220;mafia-style&#8221; practices, including coercion, billing fraud, and the manipulation of organ allocation, operating under the guise of a legitimate medical device company.
The report sets a price target of $0.
The company said the allegations are inaccurate and misleading. &#8220;We strongly believe that the claims made in the Scorpion Capital report have no merits and were primarily intended to manipulate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42940808/transmedics-responds-to-inaccurate-and-misleading-claims-in-recent-short-seller-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">market for financial gains</a>,&#8221; TransMedics said in a statement.

The report said TransMedics operates like an airline with a medical device component, trading at an expensive valuation of seven times its last 12 months&#8217; revenue.
By a more relevant metric, enterprise value to product sales, the ratio is 10 times – which Scorpion Capital describes as extraordinarily high, especially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41608129/organ-transplant-medtech-transmedics-q3-performance-disappoints-analyst-outlines-in" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">as sales are declining</a>.
This makes TransMedics the most expensive mid-cap medtech company in the U.S. and the third-highest overall, behind Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) and Glaukos Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>), according to Scorpion Capital. 
Even at a more reasonable multiple of 5 times product sales, TransMedics&#8217; stock would drop to the $30 range.
The company has no free cash flow and only recently turned slightly profitable, a trend likely to reverse with declining sales.
Scorpion stated in its report, &#8220;TransMedics is the most extreme and grotesque healthcare fraud we have encountered, not only for its scale, but because it is predicated on the exploitation of the most vulnerable patients &#8212; the terminally ill, desperate for an organ.&#8221;
The short seller <a target="_blank" href="https://scorpionreports.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/TMDX.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">alleged</a> that TransMedics &#8220;pushes unsafe, damaged organs rejected by reputable centers, as an unplaced organ means loss of device and aircraft fees, with TransMedics allegedly concealing adverse organ information.&#8221;
Scorpion Capital announced plans to file a Citizen Petition with the FDA, requesting the suspension of Premarket Approval (PMA) for TransMedics&#8217; Organ Care System (OCS). The short seller also said it intends to send a public letter to members of Congress probing abuses in the U.S. organ transplant system.
In April, the FDA granted PMA to the OCS Heart System for use with organs from donors after circulatory death, following a PMA approval of the System after brain death received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/22/04/n26862717/transmedics-receives-fda-pma-approval-of-ocs-dcd-heart-indication" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in September 2021</a>.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on Intuitive Surgical, Raises Price Target to $640

U.S. competitiveness takes center stage in 2025 with four key investment themes—energy independence, defense innovation, infrastructure, and automation—poised to bolster portfolio growth. Global X's 2025 Investment Outlook, led by Scott Helfstein, highlights these transformative trends as critical drivers of resilience <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/us-economy">in the coming year.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Infrastructure Gets A Glow-Up</h2>
America&#8217;s infrastructure renaissance is going full throttle, with $700 billion in spending set to energize construction, equipment, and materials companies. This may bode well for investors in the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>).
These stalwarts of the old economy are reinventing themselves with cutting-edge tech to expand margins—all while trading at attractive valuations compared to the broader S&amp;P 500.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Defense Play: Beyond Jets &amp; Ships</h2>
Global tensions are driving a pivot from traditional defense platforms to high-tech solutions like AI-driven drones and cybersecurity systems. 
Palantir Technologies Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) Artificial Intelligence Platform and International Business Machines Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) WatsonX AI come to mind here.
Defense revenues are expected to jump nearly 10%, with margins climbing from 5.2% to 7.6%. Success will favor those adopting automation and next-generation technologies in this competitive landscape.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Automation &amp; Onshoring: A Tech Revolution</h2>
With the U.S. accelerating its onshoring efforts, automation and AI are emerging as the driving forces powering the shift.
Software companies and data centers are prepping for a revenue surge, with mega-cap tech upping its spending on data centers to $250 billion in 2025. 
Robotics and IoT hardware could also rebound from a sales plateau, making the automation sector one to watch. Companies enabling robotics and automation such as Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>), ABB (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBNY#OTC">ABBNY</a>), Rockwell Automation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>), Zebra Technologies&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZBRA#NASDAQ">ZBRA</a>), Teradyne (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>) and UiPath (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PATH#NYSE">PATH</a>) come to mind.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Independence Goes Nuclear</h2>
Energy's next frontier? Nuclear. With mega-cap tech giants eyeing modular nuclear reactors as a green and reliable power source, demand for uranium is heating up. Beyond the U.S., countries like Japan and Germany are also jumping on the nuclear bandwagon, signaling a global shift toward energy resilience.
U.S. companies such as Constellation Energy&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Cameco&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) and NuScale Power&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>) come to mind.
Helfstein's roadmap suggests a year of targeted strategies. By aligning portfolios with these U.S.-centric themes, investors might not just weather volatility—they could thrive in the chaos.

Intuitive Surgical Announces The Peer-Reviewed Annals Of Surgery Published A Meta-Analysis Of 30-Day Surgical Outcomes Across Seven Oncological Surgical Procedures, Comparing Robotic, Laparoscopic, And Open Surgical Approaches

Intuitive Surgical's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NYSE">ISRG</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.34% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.15 million shares sold short, which is 1.17% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.93 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733418014_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Intuitive Surgical has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Intuitive Surgical's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Intuitive Surgical's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.04%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
