The Fed was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">expected to cut rates by 25 basis points</a> on Wednesday, marking its third consecutive reduction, but recent inflation data complicated its future policy path. Traders braced for hawkish signals from updated projections, with a slower pace of rate cuts and upward revisions likely, potentially impacting growth, jobs, and markets.

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

A New York judge has confirmed the guilty verdict in the hush money case involving President-elect Donald Trump, despite ongoing discussions about presidential immunity.
What Happened: Judge Juan Merchan endorsed the jury&#8217;s decision on Thursday, marking Trump as a felon. This ruling follows Trump&#8217;s recent electoral triumph over Vice President Kamala Harris. The judge has not yet made a decision on Trump&#8217;s request to dismiss the case entirely, given his president-elect status, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5043247-trump-hush-money-conviction-uphold/">reported</a> The Hill.
Trump&#8217;s legal team maintained that the evidence presented during his seven-week trial was shielded by the Supreme Court&#8217;s presidential immunity doctrine. This doctrine asserts that former presidents have total&nbsp;immunity from criminal prosecution for&nbsp;exercising core constitutional powers and&nbsp;presumptive immunity for other official&nbsp;acts.
Manhattan District Attorney&nbsp;Alvin Bragg&nbsp;refuted these claims, stating that no evidence presented to the jury was protected. He further contended that&nbsp;even if it was, it&nbsp;was inconsequential compared to the &#8220;overwhelming evidence of defendant&#8217;s guilt.&#8221;
Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Prosecutors portrayed this as an attempt to unlawfully influence the election&#8217;s outcome.
The judge&#8217;s decision on whether to halt the proceedings during Trump&#8217;s term is still pending. Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s other criminal proceedings have not been as successful following his presidential win.

Why It Matters: The Supreme Court had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39577351/trump-granted-partial-immunity-by-supreme-court-ruling-says-the-president-is-not-above-the-law-d">previously ruled</a> that Trump and former presidents are entitled to immunity for acts within their Constitutional authority while in office, but not unofficial acts.
Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40699789/judge-rejects-trumps-attempt-to-move-hush-money-trial-to-federal-court-citing-lack-of-good-cause">attempt to move</a> his hush money criminal case to federal court was denied due to a lack of &#8220;good cause&#8221;, according to a previous report.

Trump's Hush Money Conviction Upheld Amid Presidential Immunity Controversy — Alvin Bragg Says 'Overwhelming' Evidence Of Guilt

Billionaire Elon Musk has watched his wealth soar this year, especially after the 2024 presidential election, thanks to soaring valuations for SpaceX and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), two companies that could benefit from the next <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/12/42444955/elon-musk-first-person-worth-400-billion-as-tesla-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs-how-2024-election-helped-could-lead-to-future-gains">White House administration.</a>
What Happened: Musk added $226 billion to his wealth in 2024, with the majority of gains happening after Donald Trump won <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41813356/elon-musks-net-worth-soars-by-26-5-billion-in-single-day-after-tesla-stock-surges-post-trump-vic">the 2024 election.</a>
Musk endorsed Trump in the 2024 election, donated to his campaign, and even campaigned for him in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. The efforts paid off for Musk's wealth, which stands at $455 billion at the time of writing, as reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Bloomberg</a>.
With Musk reaching the historic $400 billion wealth milestone, he has more money than the valuation of every single Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Football League and National Hockey League team combined.
Forbes shows the New York Yankees as the highest-valued <a href="https://www.forbes.com/lists/mlb-valuations/">MLB </a>team at $7.55 billion and the average team worth $2.4 billion.
<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinteitelbaum/2024/10/24/the-most-valuable-nba-teams-2024/">NBA </a>teams have an average value of $4.4 billion, led by the Golden State Warriors at $8.8 billion and every team worth at least $3 billion. The New York Knicks, which are owned by publicly traded Madison Square Garden Sports Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSGS#NYSE">MSGS</a>), rank second with a valuation of $7.5 billion, as reported by Forbes.
The <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinteitelbaum/2024/08/29/the-nfls-most-valuable-teams-2024/">NFL </a>teams have the highest valuation with the Dallas Cowboys ranking first at $10.1 billion, the first team valued at more than $10 billion. The lowest team is worth $4.1 billion and the average sits at $5.7 billion.
<a href="https://www.forbes.com/lists/nhl-valuations/">NHL </a>teams rank last of the four major North American sports leagues with an average team valuation of $1.33 billion. The highest-ranked team is the Toronto Maple Leafs valued at $2.8 billion and the lowest team ranked at $500 million. The New York Rangers, who are also owned by Madison Square Garden Sports, rank second at $2.65 billion.
Here are the total amounts across the leagues:
<ul>
<li>MLB: $73.66 billion</li>
<li>NBA: $135.50 billion</li>
<li>NFL: $181.95 billion</li>
<li>NHL: $42.46 billion</li>
<li>Total: $433.57 billion</li>
</ul>
Based on the current team valuations of the teams, Musk could buy all the teams for $433.57 billion and still have $21.43 billion left over.
You may not be a billionaire like Mark Cuban, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42490690/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: This valuation exercise is of course hypothetical as no one can own multiple teams in any sport and there are also rules in place across some leagues for ownership of teams in other leagues.
That means Tesla shareholders can breathe a sigh of relief. While Musk is worth $455 billion, the majority of his wealth comes from ownership stakes in the companies he leads, including SpaceX and Tesla.
To fund a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next">$44 billion buyout </a>of Twitter, which is now known as X, Musk had to sell portions of his Tesla stock. The move, known to analysts and investors as the Twitter overhang, led to Tesla shares trading down as worries of more sales continued to beat shares down during the buyout process.
Musk also has not expressed interest in owning a sports team in MLB, NBA, NFL or the NHL over the years. The world's richest man<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/30909752/wait-is-elon-musk-considering-a-manchester-united-bid-after-all"> did joke about buying</a> publicly traded soccer team Manchester United (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MANU#NYSE">MANU</a>) previously, but nothing came of the comments.
Billionaires have bought sports teams over the years. Others have become billionaires thanks to their ownership of professional sports teams. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/08/40607642/jeff-bezos-could-have-competition-if-he-wants-the-nfls-seattle-seahawks-private-equity-investments">reported to have an interest </a>in owning an NFL team in the future.
Sports teams have seen values rise over the years thanks to increased ticket prices, advertising opportunities and huge media rights deals.
While Musk&#8217;s wealth is already up significantly in 2024, it could increase further in the coming years. Musk could benefit from the new White House administration, which could eliminate EV tax credits that would hurt Tesla competitors.
There is also optimism that the new administration&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42046316/trump-set-to-hand-musk-golden-path-for-tesla-after-reversing-course-on-autonomous-vehicle-ban" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">could support regulation</a>&nbsp;for self-driving vehicles such as the Tesla robotaxi, reversing course on Trump&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41298125/maybe-musk-missed-the-memo-trumps-plan-to-ban-autonomous-vehicles-could-sour-friendship" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;previous plan to ban&nbsp;</a>autonomous vehicles.
One item that could dent Musk&#8217;s wealth is the pending case against his 2018 Tesla pay compensation plan. A Delaware judge&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42279851/elon-musk-56b-pay-package-rejected-by-judge-again-tesla-analyst-says-a-soap-opera-playing-out-in-delaware" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">struck down the plan again</a>, despite shareholder approval, but Tesla said it will appeal the decision. Without the pay package, Musk would still be the world&#8217;s richest person, but not at such a high level.

Elon Musk Is So Rich He Could Buy Every MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL Team And Still Have Cash Left Over

University of Colorado football star Travis Hunter took home the Heisman Trophy Saturday night, adding to his rare pathway to the NFL that included turning down Division I schools to play for Deion Sanders at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24631543/how-deion-sanders-and-the-nations-top-high-school-recruit-are-shaking-up-college-football">Football Championship Subdivision school Jackson State University.</a>
What Happened: With Hunter a Heisman Trophy winner and a rare two-way threat playing both cornerback and wide receiver, attention will now shift to how high he could get drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and if he can break a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38501129/2024-nfl-draft-recap-quarterbacks-wide-receivers-detroit-set-records-who-will-win-rookie-o"> recent string of preference</a> to take quarterbacks first overall.
In the 2024 NFL Draft, six quarterbacks were selected in the first round setting records for the position. Among the draft picks were quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels at first and second overall, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Here are the most recent Heisman Trophy winners and their NFL Draft positions:
<ul>
<li>2023: Jayden Daniels, Quarterback, 2nd overall</li>
<li>2022: Caleb Williams, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2021: Bryce Young, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2020: DeVonta Smith, Wide receiver: 10th overall</li>
<li>2019: Joe Burrow, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2018: Kyler Murray, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2017: Baker Mayfield, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2016: Lamar Jackson, Quarterback, 32nd overall</li>
<li>2015: Derrick Henry, Running back, 45th overall</li>
<li>2014: Marcus Mariota, Quarterback, 2nd overall</li>
<li>2013: Jameis Winston, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
</ul>
The list shows the Heisman Trophy is often won by a quarterback with the position taking home the honors in nine of the past 11 years. In the past 11 years, six of the Heisman Trophy winners have gone first overall in a future NFL Draft.
No non-quarterback Heisman Trophy winner has gone first overall in the NFL Draft since running back Bo Jackson in 1985, according to the <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2024-04-25/every-heisman-winner-be-selected-no-1-overall-nfl-draft">NCAA</a>. Of the 25 Heisman Trophy winners who have gone first overall, all have been listed as a quarterback, running back or tight end. 
Also keep in mind that the last time a wide receiver went first overall was 1996 and the last time a defensive back went first overall was 1956, with a preference for quarterbacks, defensive ends and offensive linemen in recent years.
Hunter as a wide receiver and cornerback would set some new firsts if he goes first overall. This could be why he's the current second favorite on sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) to go first overall at odds of +350. Listed ahead of Hunter is his teammate, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders at odds of -120.
Trailing the two Colorado teammates is Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who was also a Heisman Trophy finalist, at odds of +400. No other player has odds lower than +2500. This means these three are the high favorites of going first overall, but right now it could be anyone's game of who will go first overall and likely will depend on which team secures the first overall pick.

This Is How Much EA Sports Offers College Football Players For Their Likeness</a>
What's Next: One of the big questions for whoever drafts Hunter will be which position they want him to play in the NFL or if he will play both. During this season, Hunter <a href="https://x.com/PFF_College/status/1866945539801223417">had </a>709 offensive snaps and 713 defensive snaps, averaging 118 per game, significantly higher than anyone else in NCAA Football Division I.
Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer <a href="https://x.com/JayGlazer/status/1868731686932078974">said </a>Sunday that he polled 13 NFL coaches and GMs asking about Hunter, with 12 saying they would play the Heisman winner primarily at CB with some offensive packages. The lone person who said wide receiver said the elite ball skills made the position the one Hunter should play. The 12 who picked cornerback also acknowledged elite ball skills and said a shutdown cornerback is harder to find.
The 2025 NFL Draft will be held in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with the first round happening on April 24 with Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) airing coverage on ABC and ESPN.
Colorado takes on Brigham Young University in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in a game that will air on ABC. Hunter indicated Monday that he plans to play in the game. Some players leaving for college sit out bowl games. This would mean NFL scouts, coaches and general managers could get another look at the rare two-way star ahead of the NFL Draft.
Hunter going high in the NFL Draft and succeeding at the next level could be big for Adidas AG &#8211; ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>), which <a href="https://news.adidas.com/american-football/adidas-welcomes-collegiate-superstar-travis-hunter-to-the-three-stripes--expanding-its-next-gen-athl/s/a02057f4-e796-426e-84c7-ac2ae40dfc66">signed </a>the NCAA star to its growing roster of NFL players.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Amphenol 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post and founder of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), told a group at The New York Times DealBook Summit in early December that he likes meetings to be "messy" so that he can be part of the "sausage-making" process. 
The Details: Bezos, well-known as the world's second richest person, is also notable for his strong opinions on how business meetings should be run. 
Bezos discouraged PowerPoint presentations at Amazon's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/09/41107170/jeff-bezos-used-this-method-to-get-true-opinions-from-employees-amazon-founder-says-youre-the-b">internal meetings</a> and set standards for meetings to seek the truth rather than to appeal or please the executives.

&#8220;You don&#8217;t want the whole thing to be figured out and presented to you,&#8221; he said, according to a Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-messy-meetings-amazon-founder-achieve-more-2024-12">report</a>.&nbsp;
Bezos likes to begin meetings with a 30-minute window for participants to read through a detailed memo that outlines the background information and then open a "messy" discussion.&nbsp;
&#8220;I like the memos to be like angels singing from on high, so clear and beautiful, and then the meeting can be messy," he told The New York Times.&nbsp;
&#8220;Show me the ugly bits. I always ask, are there any dissenting opinions on the team? I want to try to get to the controversy,&#8221; Bezos said.
More Of Bezos' Style: Lauren Sanchez, Bezos' girlfriend, told the Wall Street Journal that he advised her not to be the first to speak in a meeting.&nbsp;
"No, no, no. You&#8217;re the boss. You talk last. You let everyone else talk, so that they don&#8217;t get swayed by your opinion,&#8221; Sánchez shared in the interview.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Dynatrace 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned Monday, citing disagreements with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over <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">anticipated U.S. tariffs.</a>
What Happened? Freeland, who also held the position of Deputy Prime Minister, resigned hours before she was due to deliver an economic update to the parliament. In a letter to Trudeau, Freeland <a href="https://x.com/cafreeland/status/1868659332285702167">noted</a> she made this decision after his suggestion to take a different position within his Cabinet.
She also reflected on President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs.
"We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war," she wrote.
Freeland, a veteran journalist and a key member of Trudeau's cabinet since 2015 has held multiple high-profile roles, including Minister of Foreign Affairs. Interestingly, her predecessor, Bill Morneau, resigned over a fallout with Trudeau in 2020 as they clashed over issues with COVID-19-related income support programs.
Meanwhile, Housing Minister Sean Fraser will not seek re-election in Nova Scotia and will leave the federal cabinet during the next shuffle, <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6593309">per</a> CBC News. The shuffle, which could happen as early as Wednesday, could see former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney joining the cabinet.&nbsp;
Why It Matters? Freeland's departure signals further weakening of Trudeau's government ahead of the election year.
As a widely respected figure, she was critical in securing Canada's trade interests and the architect of Canada's response to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement renegotiation during Trump's first term. With Freeland's exit, Trudeau loses a highly skilled negotiator at a pivotal time in international trade relations and domestic economic challenges.
Trudeau maintains the stance that imposing tariffs would hurt both sides.
"Let's not kid ourselves in any way, shape or form, 25% tariffs on everything going to the United States would be devastating for the Canadian economy," Trudeau said <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-trudeau-us-trump-tariffs-f23417b8f6671adf6b4c908be630615f">per</a> AP News, clarifying how tariffs on Canadian energy and various commodity exports would make life more expensive in the U.S.
Between November 2023 and October 2024, Canada exported over C$172 billion ($120.74 billion) worth of energy products to the U.S. and C$80.4 billion ($56.44 billion) worth of motor vehicles and parts. Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) have notable operations in Canada, as do foreign manufacturers like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda, and Toyota.
The internal crisis has driven down the Liberal Party's popularity. Polls <a href="https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/poll-tracker/canada/">show</a> Trudeau's government trails significantly behind the Conservative Party, with the next federal election due by October 2025.
Market Reaction: USD/CAD rose 0.11% for the day, closing the trading session at 1.4241. Since Donald Trump&#8217;s re-election, the pair rose around 3%.

Established in January 1985 alongside the Nasdaq Financial-100 Index, which tracks the 100 largest financial stocks on Nasdaq, these indexes serve as benchmarks for financial instruments like options, futures, and funds.
The Nasdaq-100 undergoes an annual reconstitution each December, aligned with the quadruple witching expiration on Friday of the quarter.
Super Micro Computer stock plunged 62% in the last six months. Reportedly, the AI server company has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/24/12/42506690/super-micro-seeks-to-raise-capital-via-equity-and-debt" rel="noreferrer noopener">enlisted Evercore to</a> assist in raising capital.
The effort aims to avoid a potential delisting after the company missed its August deadline for filing its annual financial report while reviewing internal financial controls.
The company is considering private investment in public equity (PIPE) funding, which could attract interest from private equity firms. While PIPE funding provides a faster capital-raising method, it dilutes existing shareholders&#8217; equity.
Concerns still need to be made about the profitability of Super Micro&#8217;s AI-optimized servers due to reliance on high-end chips from suppliers like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Super Micro&#8217;s auditor, Ernst &amp; Young, resigned in October over governance concerns. This led to a sharp decline in stock value and prompted an independent committee to investigate. By December, the committee found no evidence of misconduct, spurring a 30% rise in Super Micro&#8217;s stock.
The company appointed BDO USA as its new auditor to address delisting risks, submitted a compliance plan to Nasdaq, and began searching for a new finance chief based on the committee&#8217;s recommendations.
Super Micro, which faced scrutiny from a Hindenburg Research report and a U.S. Department of Justice probe, has until February 25 to file its delayed financial reports.
Super Micro Computer missed the revenue estimates for the last two quarters and the adjusted EPS consensus for the last quarter.
In July 2024, Super Micro Computer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39847680/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-shares-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">became a component</a> of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Nasdaq-100 Equal Weighted Index, replacing Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>).
At that time, CEO Charles Liang highlighted Super Micro&#8217;s eco-friendly initiatives and AI growth opportunities during an interview with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer.
Liang showcased the potential of their &#8220;liquid cooling&#8221; and &#8220;green computer&#8221; technologies to cut carbon emissions and reduce customer expenses.
He also shared his confidence in the transformative power of AI, predicting it could have a more significant impact than the industrial revolution.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow).

This particular indicator is interpreted by active traders as a bullish signal.&nbsp;

By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses.

Amid the uncertainty, one thing seems clear: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42120607/gary-gensler-to-step-down-as-sec-chair-on-trumps-inauguration-day">SEC chair Gary Gensler is set to step down</a>, and institutional investors are already anticipating a new regulatory landscape for US markets.&nbsp;
Trump had previously promised at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in July that he <a href="https://www.thebanker.com/Explainer-Why-the-Trump-card-cannot-be-pulled-on-Gary-Gensler-1732190555" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">would fire Gensler</a> on day one of his return to the White House, but it appears that the chair plans to step down from his role on January 20, 2025, the day of the President-election inauguration. 
Gensler's departure will change Wall Street's regulatory landscape, and on the surface, it appears that a more focused move towards deregulation and an end to Gensler's famous cryptocurrency skepticism. But how can institutions prepare for the changes that next year will bring? Let's take a deeper look at the state of play for US markets moving into Trump's second term: 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Regulatory Climbdown</h2>
One key adaptation that institutional investors will need to make is preparing for a deregulated Wall Street.&nbsp;
The regulatory climate in the US had been more expansive in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, with Congress expanding the US government's oversight of the financial industry to safeguard against future collapses.&nbsp;
But it appears likely that Trump's second term will see efforts to scale back these reforms take place, with significant ramifications for the investment landscape.&nbsp;
According to Reuters sources, one potential act of deregulation could see a curtailing of the Dodd-Frank Act, which was implemented in the wake of the financial crash with the intention of reducing systemic risk. Other ideas are focused on making it easier for private companies to raise capital, potentially opening up access to more challenging private funds and securities. 
The prospect of deregulation comes in <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/11/27/congress/former-sec-official-eyed-for-chair-00191952" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">direct contrast to Gensler's time</a> as the chair of the SEC, which sparked controversy within the financial industry and cryptocurrency lobby. 
While there are certainly high-profile cases of collapses within the financial industry, fintech space, and cryptocurrency landscape, Wall Street appears to welcome the change of pace and more growth-focused approach.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is a Wall Street Rally Imminent?</h2>
Interestingly, Wall Street's positive reception to Gary Gensler's departure appears bullish even despite the dangers of deregulation and the prospect of Trump's tariffs hampering growth in the financial sector.&nbsp;
According to Jenny Grimberg, executive director of global macro research at Goldman Sachs, anticipated <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4271783-wall-street-economists-see-risks-from-trump-tariffs-rewards-from-deregulation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">average 20 percentage point tariffs</a> on imports from China would likely provide modest boosts to US inflation while lowering growth in the United States. 
Despite this, Goldman Sachs anticipates that the S&amp;P 500 will still rise by around 5% over the course of the year ahead.&nbsp;
Even when facing the prospect of higher inflation and higher interest rates, Wall Street has still adopted a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/wall-street-girds-trump-20-tariffs-tax-cuts-volatility-2024-11-06/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">pro-growth outlook</a> for the Trump administration, according to David Bianco, Americas CIO at DWS Group. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Which Investment Opportunities Will Prosper?&nbsp;</h2>
Gary Gensler had continuously <a href="https://www.ccn.com/news/crypto/sec-chair-gary-gensler-top-crypto-crackdowns/">pursued lawsuits</a> throughout the crypto sector during his time as chair, targeting projects like Ripple, and exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, FTX, and Kraken.&nbsp;
While the case against FTX and owner Sam Bankman-Fried underlined the importance of regulation in the wake of the exchange's collapse in 2022, Gensler has long been identified as an obstructive force by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.&nbsp;
Trump's election victory prompted a widespread cryptocurrency market rally that's underlined the underlined the expectation that Trump will bring a more conducive environment for cryptocurrency investing on Wall Street.&nbsp;
As a result, we're likely to see more institutional investors ramp up their crypto exposure in the wake of Gensler's time as chair.&nbsp;
Institutions can also find value among other asset managers in this new pro-growth, deregulated environment, and Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) exposure to US infrastructure might <a href="https://www.fool.co.uk/2024/12/02/3-sp-500-stocks-that-could-surge-under-donald-trump-as-us-president/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">help the conglomerate to prosper</a> off the back of the Trump Presidency. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Uncertainty Lingers</h2>
With the prospect of steep tariffs impacting US trade in the near future, diversification will be a major consideration for institutional investors seeking to manage their exposure to risk in the era of a newly-reformed SEC.&nbsp;
This is likely to push more hedge funds and other institutions towards international investments, particularly as China ramps up its stimulus plan to overcome its own <a href="https://www.26degreesglobalmarkets.com/market-impact-its-importance-and-how-to-manage-it/">market impact</a>.&nbsp;
Institutional investors should explore a prime broker solution's catalog of globally focused market access tools to ensure that their risk is appropriately hedged as a new chair with a looser strategy rings the changes throughout the investment landscape.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Wall Street Right to Anticipate Growth?&nbsp;</h2>
The appointment of Elon Musk to the newly formed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253427/elon-musks-doge-dream-team-from-marc-andreessen-to-ubers-travis-kalanick-silicon-valley-titans-join-forces-to-overhaul-federal-spending">Department of Government Efficiency</a>, a name that carries a knowing nod to cryptocurrency Dogecoin, takes us into uncharted territory in terms of the future of regulation on the financial sector.&nbsp;
With the CEO of a company worth more than $1 trillion in market capitalization taking a key role in the new government, we're likely to see concerted efforts made to clear the way for further pro-growth strategies among some of the United States' largest market players.&nbsp;
However, with the prospect of tariffs looming large over markets, all bets are off regarding what the future holds for Wall Street and institutional investors.

How Can Institutional Investors Prepare for Life After Gary Gensler Leaves the SEC?

Two of the globe&#8217;s largest chip manufacturers will clash in court this week due to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intellectual-property">disagreement over intellectual property</a>.
What Happened: Arm Holdings plc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) legal spat with Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) commenced Monday, Dec. 16, before a federal jury in Delaware, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-16/arm-qualcomm-contract-fight-threatens-to-upend-chip-industry?sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a>.
Recall Qualcomm's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19148004/qualcomm-to-buy-startup-nuvia-in-1-4b-deal-what-investors-need-to-know">$1.4 billion acquisition of NUVIA</a>, a chip startup, in 2021. Just two years earlier, Arm granted licenses to NUVIA — assets Qualcomm eventually inherited.
Arm, headquartered in the U.K. and majority-owned by SoftBank Group, claims the Nuvia deal requires renegotiation. It also wants Qualcomm to destroy certain chip designs it received once the deal closed.
Qualcomm, in court documents, insists it has its own license agreements with Arm. &#8220;Qualcomm has licensed and paid for the same intellectual property that NUVIA licensed under its own separate agreements with ARM,&#8221; the statement <a href="https://semianalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/files/71776a9c-ee79-4c5c-947b-f7e98cf40bcc.pdf">reads</a>. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs To Watch</h1>
As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, chip ETFs closed in the green Monday:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) was up 0.56%</li>
<li>Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXQ#NASDAQ">SOXQ</a>) was up 0.49%</li>
<li>Columbia Semiconductor and Technology ET (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEMI#NYSE">SEMI</a>) was up 2.75%</li>
<li>Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) was up 5.88%</li>
</ul>
Why It Matters: The case — Arm v. Qualcomm, 22-cv-01146, US District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington) — will likely see both CEOs, Arm&#8217;s Rene Haas and Qualcomm&#8217;s Cristiano Amon, take the stand.
This isn't the first time an M&amp;A agreement involving these companies sparked legal challenges. Back in 2020, Nvidia attempted to buy Arm for $40 billion, which threw San Diego-based Qualcomm and other tech companies into a panic.
Regulators sank the deal in 2022 when the Federal Trade Commission sued Nvidia to block the merger. Arm also faced substantial regulatory pressure from British authorities.&nbsp;
Fast-forward to today, and Arm is now trying to flex its muscles by pulling Qualcomm's license — worth an estimated $1.5 billion.
And Qualcomm is not known to give up easily. Recall its past licensing tussle with Apple, <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/04/qualcomm-and-apple-agree-to-drop-all-litigation/">settled</a> in April 2019. 
What&#8217;s Next: Analysts predict the companies will eventually settle, probably with Qualcomm paying more to access Arm's tech. 
The proceedings are anticipated to conclude by Friday, Dec. 20.
It&#8217;s worth noting that the chips in question power most mainstream devices, and the legal dispute could have wide-ranging repercussions on the tech industry.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
I am fascinated by robots. From an investment standpoint, robotics looks to be the natural complement to AI&rsquo;s advancement. Capable machinery powered by the latest artificial intelligence platform can help businesses perform complex mechanical tasks in manufacturing, healthcare, and other sectors, cutting down process times and increasing efficiency to its maximum. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are already popular in some sectors, so this might be a good time for other investors to shop around for robotics stocks to buy and hold.&nbsp;



Of course, you wouldn&rsquo;t want to buy just any old company, which is why I&rsquo;ll screen the market for the best robotics stocks to buy, gauging them on their fundamentals and capacity for longevity. Remember, robotics is not a new industry, but recent advances in AI make it an increasingly attractive investment area.



To get my list, I screened companies that operate in the robotics industry or have robotics-related business segments using the following criteria:



<ul><li>Debt-to-equity ratio: 1.25 and below. The debt-to-equity ratio measures a company&rsquo;s financial leverage. The lower the leverage ratio, the better it manages its obligations,</li>



<li>Return-on-equity ratio: 15% and above. Return on equity measures how efficiently the company handles its capital to produce profits. Fifteen percent is considered a good level, so I scanned for companies with higher than that,</li>



<li>Analyst rating: Buy or higher.</li>
</ul>I then sorted the list based on the highest to lowest ROE. Here are the results:



<h2>Teradyne (TER)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/teradyne-ter-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Teradyne Silicon Valley office"><div>Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Teradyne (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ter-stock-quote/">TER</a>) is the go-to name for automated test equipment used in industrial applications. The company&rsquo;s core business specializes in the semiconductor market. Besides its testing expertise, the company offers other services like automation and robotics.



Teradyne recently appointed <a href="https://investors.teradyne.com/news/teradyne-robotics-welcomes-james-davidson-as-chief-ai-officer/47a6ac9d-8517-448f-a2f2-507541cbbaf4">James Davidson as its Chief AI Officer</a>, aiming to support its vision to revolutionize the manufacturing industry by leveraging Davidson&rsquo;s experience in both robotics and artificial intelligence. In addition, Teradyne has partnered with the AI powerhouse Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/">NVDA</a>) to support the <a href="https://investors.teradyne.com/news/teradyne-robotics-to-bring-the-power-of-ai-to-robotics-with-nvidia/f89e3bc0-1345-4627-9349-569db0a6b88d">development of its automation capabilities</a>.



While Teradyne may have had a slower FY 2023 due to its revenue decline, its Robotics segment boasted <a href="https://investors.teradyne.com/news/teradyne-reports-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2023-results/cdd55ba1-4dfe-413e-9c53-53b39875a928">50% year-over-year growth in Q4 2023</a>, highlighting its strong potential for a growing market segment.&nbsp;



In addition, revenue in Q2 2024 was up <a href="https://investors.teradyne.com/news/teradyne-reports-second-quarter-2024-results/bc78c615-ddd9-4528-bf2d-44056c36f186">7% </a><a href="https://investors.teradyne.com/news/teradyne-reports-second-quarter-2024-results/bc78c615-ddd9-4528-bf2d-44056c36f186" target="_blank">year over year</a>, surpassing its guidance. CEO Greg Smith emphasized its robotics sector, and the growing demand for AI has been a strong catalyst in its growth. With an ROE of 18.77% and an almost non-existent debt-to-equity ratio, the company boasts a strong proposition for long-term investors looking for robotics stocks to buy and hold. Even Wall Street&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/ter/analyst-research">strong buy</a> consensus agrees with this.&nbsp;



<h2>ESAB Corporation (ESAB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/robotics-stocks-ai-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="a robot built in the essence of a human raising its hand to its chin implying deep thought. future tech stocks.

The company operates in two main segments:



<ul><li>EMEA &amp; APAC: Focuses on operations in Europe, India, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific,</li>



<li>Americas: Focuses on its North and South American operations.</li>
</ul>ESAB has been experiencing <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ESAB/financials/">moderate yet continuous revenue growth</a> for several years. While earnings growth over the last three years has been flat, the company maintains a return on equity (ROE) of 17.49%. Its debt-to-equity ratio also stands at 0.59, demonstrating its effectiveness in managing debt.



In addition, <a href="https://esabcorporation.com/newsroom/esab-corporation-announces-fourth-quarter-2023-results-and-initiates-full-year-2024-guidance/">President and CEO Shyam P. Kambeyanda</a> has highlighted that the company&rsquo;s drivers for growth and profitability come from its new innovative products and EBX initiatives. No wonder it boasts a <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/esab/analyst-research">strong buy</a> consensus rating among nine analysts. With its strong commitment to growth and cash flow generation, it is a no-brainer to check out ESAB if you want to buy and hold robotics stocks.



<h2>Novanta (NOVT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/stocks-to-buy-button-keyboard-1600-300x169.jpg" alt='Blue "buy now" button on a keyboard with finger pressing down on it. French Election Stock Picks'><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Odua Images</div></div>When it comes to robotics discussions, some might already know Novanta (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/novt-stock-quote/">NOVT</a>) due to its reputation in electronics, metrology, robotics, and automation. The company operates in three main segments:



<ul><li>Precision Medicine and Manufacturing: laser technology and optical engine products,</li>



<li>Medical Solutions: medical-grade technologies and visualization solutions,</li>



<li>Robotics and Automation: optical and inductive encoders, servo drives, precision motors, intelligent robotic end-of-arm technology solutions, etc.</li>

However, its earnings per share decreased slightly from $2.06 to $2.02, due mostly to acquisitions.&nbsp;



&ldquo;Combined with continuing to institutionalize the Novanta Growth System deep into our Company&rsquo;s culture,&rdquo; said CEO and chair Matthijs Glastra, &ldquo;our playbook will continue to deliver predictable, consistent, long-term growth and shareholder value.&rdquo;



Novanta&rsquo;s debt-to-equity ratio is currently 0.75, and its return-to-equity ratio is 16.58%, highlighting its strong financial foundation and effective management.

With its diverse product lineup and sound financials, Novanta is a strong contender for the best robotics stocks to buy today.
