Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) CEO Kelly Ortberg expects forthcoming employee feedback to deliver a harsh reality check to the aerospace <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43865891/elon-musks-involvement-key-to-solving-boeings-air-force-one-delivery-crisis-report">giant&#8217;s management team</a>.
What Happened: The CEO warned that the recent survey results will likely be &#8220;brutal to leadership,&#8221; according to a partial transcript of a company-wide meeting seen by Reuters.
The candid admission came during an all-hands webcast from St. Louis on Wednesday, where Ortberg outlined his diagnosis of the troubled manufacturer&#8217;s deep-seated cultural problems. The February survey, which garnered responses from an impressive 82% of Boeing&#8217;s workforce, forms a crucial part of Ortberg&#8217;s strategy to transform the company&#8217;s organizational dysfunction.
&#8220;We&#8217;re very insular&#8221; and &#8220;we don&#8217;t communicate across boundaries,&#8221; Ortberg told employees. &#8220;Teams don&#8217;t work with each other as well as we could, and the power of the Boeing Company is in us all kind of rowing the boat together.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This unflinching acknowledgment of leadership failures comes as Boeing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43179806/boeing-stock-falls-on-preliminary-q4-results-the-details">struggles to recover</a> from nearly $12 billion in losses during 2024 and persistent production issues with its 737 MAX, 787, and several defense programs, including the delayed Air Force One replacements.
Since taking the helm in August after Dave Calhoun&#8216;s departure, Ortberg has established a culture working group composed of employees from across the company to examine its values and behaviors. The CEO plans to use the survey results, however uncomfortable they might be for executives, to develop a comprehensive action plan.
Paradoxically, despite the company&#8217;s struggles and ongoing workforce reductions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43865891/elon-musks-involvement-key-to-solving-boeings-air-force-one-delivery-crisis-report">targeting about 10% of its 170,000 employees</a>, Ortberg expressed surprise at Boeing&#8217;s low attrition rate. &#8220;The fact that we don&#8217;t have huge attrition in the company, given what we&#8217;ve been through, is shocking,&#8221; he said.

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is offering free supercharging upon taking delivery of a new foundation series Cybertruck from its inventory in both Mexico and Canada, in a likely bid to make the expensive truck more appealing to customers.
What Happened: Tesla says on its website that the order must be placed on or after March 5 for the offer. The offer is valid till the customer&#8217;s ownership of the vehicle and cannot be transferred. 
Supercharger fees like idle and congestion fees will continue to be applicable, the company noted. 
The Cybertruck is one of Tesla&#8217;s most expensive offerings. In Mexico, the truck starts at around 1.95 million Mexican pesos while in Canada, it starts at C$114,990 for the base version.
The Cyberbeast variant of the truck is priced higher.
Why It Matters: Tesla is also offering discounts to entice Cybertruck buyers in the U.S. The company is now offering discounts up to $6000 on model year 2024 foundation series Cybertrucks and $4000 on non-foundation series Cybertrucks in its inventory.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously said that the company is eyeing a production rate of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42262279/a-year-after-teslas-first-cybertruck-deliveries-the-truck-has-a-long-way-to-go-to-meet-musks-goals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">250,000 Cybertrucks a year</a>&nbsp;in 2025. However, this number is unlikely according to Tesla researcher Troy Teslike, who tracks the company&#8217;s production and delivery numbers, owing to poor demand. 
&#8220;The order backlog is gone. Tesla ended 2024 with 10,600 unsold Cybertrucks because of too much production and low demand,&#8221; the researcher said earlier in February while also dismissing the possibility of a cheaper Cybertruck variant launch this year.
&#8220;A cheaper Cybertruck this year is unlikely because the Cybertruck is not profitable. A cheaper version would make things worse,&#8221; he said.

Earnings Scheduled For March 6, 2025

Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) smashed its artificial intelligence data center revenue target in fiscal 2025. The chipmaker also reiterated plans to exceed fiscal 2026&#8217;s target but issued a soft earnings and revenue guidance which was roughly in-line with analyst estimates.
What Happened: About 75% of Marvell&#8217;s total revenue in the fourth quarter was driven by AI data center-led sales. Whereas for the full fiscal year 2025, the company&#8217;s AI revenue was substantially above its $1.5 billion target.
&#8220;We also expect to very significantly exceed our $2.5 billion target in fiscal 2026,&#8221; said Matthew Murphy, the chairman, president, and CEO of the company.
While the CFO Willem Meintjes issued a revenue guidance in the range of $1.875 billion, with a plus or minus 5% possibility, it was roughly in-line with the street&#8217;s $1.87 billion expectation. Shares of the company plunged nearly 15% in after-hours trading based on the soft guidance.
&#8220;We project our overall revenue from the auto and industrial end market to decline sequentially in the high single digits on a percentage basis,&#8221; added the CEO.
The management also emphasized the &#8220;stickiness&#8221; of its custom silicon wins due to its technology leadership, manufacturing scale, and close customer relationships.

Why It Matters: The company beat its fourth quarter estimates with adjusted EPS of $0.60 and revenue of $1.81 billion. It generated $514 million in operating cash flow and a 60.1% non-GAAP gross margin.
The shares ended 2.05% higher on Wednesday but slipped 14.85% in after-hours. The exchange-traded fund tracking Nasdaq 100 index, Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) ended 1.30% higher on Wednesday and fell 0.32% in after-hours.
On a year-to-date basis MRVL has fallen by 20.62% but it&#8217;s up 10.78% over the last year.
Analyst Recommendations:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MRVL/analyst-ratings"> Benzinga tracks 33 analysts</a> with an average price target of $113.69 for the stock, reflecting a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating. Estimates range widely from $75 to $150. Recent ratings from Morgan Stanley, Keybanc, and Barclays average at $132.67, suggesting a potential 72.86% upside.

Marvell Surpasses AI Chip Sales Target, Aims Higher For 2026, But Stock Plunges Due To Muted Guidance

On Wednesday, Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak criticized the Department of Government Efficiency's or DOGE <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43754316/irs-gears-up-to-lay-off-thousands-of-workers-potentially-impacting-tax-season-no-analysis-to-the-impact-it-will-have-on-operations">approach to mass layoffs</a>, calling its sweeping federal workforce cuts a reckless strategy that lacks precision.
What Happened: During an interview <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/05/apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-donald-trump-and-elon-musk-are-bullies.html">with</a> CNBC, Wozniak expressed concerns over DOGE's aggressive cost-cutting tactics, which have resulted in thousands of federal employees losing their jobs.
&#8220;Mass firings — not good for a business to run that way,&#8221; he stated, suggesting that instead of indiscriminate cuts, DOGE should approach workforce reductions "more surgically, with a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer."

The Apple co-founder has previously also criticized Tesla Inc. and found himself at odds with Elon Musk.
While the White House maintains that Musk does <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43801916/elon-musk-has-no-actual-authority-to-make-government-decisions-says-trump-white-house-on-doge">not officially lead DOGE</a>, President Donald Trump mentioned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44133368/trumps-congressional-address-taps-elon-musk-for-government-overhaul-revives-drill-baby-drill-for-energy-boom">during his address on Tuesday</a> that "DOGE is headed by Elon Musk," reinforcing the widespread belief that he is the driving force behind the agency.
DOGE's mass layoffs have sparked controversy. The agency's actions have also <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43578729/court-halts-musks-doge-squad-from-gaining-access-to-treasury-payment-systems-a-risk-of-irreparable-harm">prompted legal challenges</a>, with Trump's latest comments being flagged in an ongoing lawsuit against DOGE.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Wozniak is not the only prominent business figure speaking out against DOGE. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has also taken to Bluesky and said that the agency's cuts will "inevitably" create chaos, calling its approach "not so brilliant."
On the other hand, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44067853/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-talks-doge-efficiency-and-trumps-regulatory-changes-weve-become-a-bureaucratic-mess">expressed support</a> for the idea of cutting wasteful spending but has also highlighted the chaos and legal challenges that DOGE&#8217;s methods have introduced.
DOGE is also said to have saved $65 billion. However, experts have labeled these statements as &#8220;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44143475/trumps-u-s-doge-service-claims-65b-in-savings-experts-call-it-smoke-and-mirrors-amid-resignations">smoke and mirrors</a>&#8221; amid a wave of resignations.

Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak Blasts DOGE's Mass Firings, Says Musk-Led Cuts Are Like Using A Sledgehammer Instead Of A Scalpel

The U.S. Justice Department has indicted 12 Chinese nationals for their alleged involvement in a worldwide hacking campaign. 
What Happened: The Justice Department suspects China&#8217;s Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of State Security to have employed hackers to acquire confidential information and track down critics worldwide. 
Assistant Director of the FBI's Cyber Division, Bryan Vorndran, stated &#8221; Chinese Ministry of Public Security has been paying hackers-for-hire to inflict digital harm on Americans who criticize the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).&#8221;
The individuals under suspicion comprise two officers from China&#8217;s Ministry of Public Security, eight employees of a company called i-Soon, and two members of the group known as Advanced Persistent Threat 27 (APT27), Zhou Shuai and Yin Kecheng.
Embassy of the People&#8217;s Republic of China in the U.S. did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
The individuals would face federal charges in both New York and Washington. The Justice Department has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information regarding the MPS officers and i-Soon, and $2 million, each, for the APT27 members. The hackers are suspected to have sold stolen information to China&#8217;s intelligence and security agencies, aiding in the suppression of free speech and democratic processes globally.
The group&#8217;s targets included a major religious organization critical of the Chinese government, an organization advocating for human rights and religious freedom in China, and several news outlets in the U.S. The foreign ministries of Taiwan, India, South Korea, and Indonesia, along with a Hong Kong newspaper and a religious leader, were among the other intended targets.
Meanwhile, Liu Pengyu, the Chinese embassy spokesperson said, "We urge the US to stop using cybersecurity issues to smear China and stop abusing illegal unilateral sanctions,&#8221; <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/3301215/us-says-china-operating-hacker-hire-network-available-cyberattacks-worldwide?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported </a>the South China Morning Post. Pengyu added, &#8220;China will take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies and citizens."

Why It Matters: This indictment is a significant development in the ongoing cyber warfare between the US and China. The charges are the first major hacking-related national security case brought under President Donald Trump's Justice Department. In 2022, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and FBI estimated the financial impact of the Chinese cyber attacks at between $300 billion and $600 billion per year, as per testimony by William R. Evanina, CEO of The Evanina Group.
The victims of these hackers include US-based critics of the Chinese government, Asian government foreign ministries, and U.S. federal and state agencies. This follows a recent incident that highlighted the activities of another Chinese hacker group, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43692893/chinese-hacker-group-salt-typhoon-expands-global-telecom-exploits-targets-cisco-routers">Salt Typhoon</a>, which has been exploiting vulnerabilities in global telecom networks and universities.
The U.S. Justice Department recognizes the vital role of public-private partnerships in addressing advanced cyber threats and thanked Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Alphabet&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Mandiant among others for being instrumental in these investigations.

US Indicts 12 Chinese Nationals Over Alleged Global Hacking Operation Targeting Critics: '...Been Paying Hackers-For-Hire To Inflict Digital Harm On Americans'

Jeff Bezos is reshaping rocket maker Blue Origin with Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) demanding corporate culture as he seeks to accelerate the company&#8217;s progress against Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX.
What Happened: The world&#8217;s third-richest person has appointed former Amazon executives in key leadership positions, including CEO Dave Limp, who joined in late 2023. Several other Amazon veterans now occupy C-suite roles, bringing the tech giant&#8217;s aggressive management style to the space venture.
This cultural transformation has already produced significant changes. In February, about 10% of Blue Origin&#8217;s 10,000-plus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43721476/bezos-blue-origin-to-lay-off-10-employees-despite-successful-launch-to-orbit-report">workforce was laid off</a> despite January&#8217;s successful New Glenn rocket launch, the company&#8217;s first orbital mission. Meanwhile, employees report longer working hours, with some moved to permanent 50-hour weeks and badge scanners tracking attendance.
&#8220;We grew and hired incredibly fast in the past few years, and with that growth came more bureaucracy and less focus than we needed,&#8221; Limp told employees in an email <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/e2674524-e329-4e60-87e1-f877881bf529">obtained</a> by the Financial Times.
Blue Origin did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44068159/nba-legend-shaq-says-his-net-worth-quadrupled-once-he-took-note-from-jeff-bezos-and-started-investing-in-things-that-change-peoples-lives" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA Legend Shaq Says His Net Worth ‘Quadrupled&#8217; Once He Took Note From Jeff Bezos And Started Investing In Things That ‘Change People&#8217;s Lives&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: Blue Origin lags significantly behind SpaceX, which has reached orbit more than 450 times compared to Blue Origin&#8217;s single success. The company spends approximately $2 billion annually while generating just over $1 billion in revenue, according to the report.
Bezos, who stepped down as Amazon CEO in 2021, has taken a more active role at Blue Origin.
The company is also making headlines with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/44019974/katy-perry-gayle-king-lauren-sanchez-headline-next-blue-origin-space-flight-how-jeff-bezos-fiancee-crew-will-make-history">passenger space tourism business</a>. This spring, Blue Origin will launch its first all-woman crew, including Bezos&#8217; fiancée Lauren Sánchez, pop star Katy Perry, and CBS journalist Gayle King.

Jeff Bezos Brings Amazon's Hard-Charging Culture, 50-Hour Workweek To Blue Origin: CEO Says Growth Led To 'More Bureaucracy...Less Focus'

Medical technology company&nbsp;BioNexus Gene Lab Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGLC#NASDAQ">BGLC</a>) announced the adoption of Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) as a&nbsp;treasury reserve asset on Wednesday, following the cryptocurrency&#8217;s inclusion in the U.S. strategic reserve.
What Happened: The company&#8217;s board approved the&nbsp;new Ethereum-focused treasury strategy, according to a press release.
&#8220;This decision marks BGLC as the first Nasdaq-listed company to exclusively prioritize Ethereum as a strategic treasury asset, and is in line with recent announcements of Ethereum being included in the U.S. "Crypto Strategic Reserve," BioNexus said.

Alongside this, the company also unveiled its Ethereum Strategy Whitepaper, outlining the rationale behind opting for Ethereum. 
The whitepaper highlights Ethereum&#8217;s strengths in decentralized finance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stablecoin">stablecoin </a>settlements, and the ability to generate passive income through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-stake-ethereum-eth#:~:text=Staking%20is%20a%20process%20in,provides%20you%20with%20a%20reward.">staking</a>.
The whitepaper provides a deep dive into Ethereum&#8217;s&nbsp;institutional adoption, staking capabilities, and&nbsp;forthcoming protocol upgrades, all of which strengthen&nbsp;its long-term value and corporate&nbsp;utility.
The company also credited the blockchain-friendly laws of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40014390/university-of-wyoming-launches-first-ever-academic-bitcoin-research-institute">Wyoming</a>, where it is incorporated, for influencing the decision.
Why It Matters: BioNexus&#8217; move comes amid strengthening discourse around stacking cryptocurrency in corporate reserves to benefit from long-term gains.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury company Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has been the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44135791/investor-mike-alfred-alleges-wall-street-giants-are-targeting-michael-saylor-led-strategy-by-driving-bitcoin-lowercritic-dismisses-it-as-conspiratorial-thinking">market leader</a>, accumulating a stockpile worth over $43.84 billion, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a> to bitcointreasuries.net.
Both Bitcoin and Ethereum would be at the &#8220;heart&#8221; of a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44107003/trump-faces-backlash-over-crypto-reserve-plan-from-bitcoin-supporters-including-his-own-dont-think-the-government-should-be-pumping-our-crypto-bags-with-taxpayer-money">declared </a>last week.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ethereum was exchanging hands at $2,303.40, up 5.53% 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>. 
Shares of BioNexus were up 5.39% in after-hours trading, after closing 3.37% higher at $0.3416 during Wednesday&#8217;s trading session.

BioNexus Stock Pops As It Embraces Ethereum-Focused Treasury Strategy, Says It Is First On Nasdaq To Do So

Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) missed its fourth-quarter estimates but equated its quantum computing progress with International Business Machines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) and Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google with an ambitious target of scaling its chiplet strategy up to 100 qubits in 2025.
What Happened: Quantum computing race heats up as Rigetti&#8217;s president and CEO, Subodh Kulkarni, said during the company&#8217;s earnings call that it is a leader in the space as it is competing right at the top along with IBM and Google.
Explaining that RGTI&#8217;s roadmap was comparable to IBM, Google, Kulkarni added that &#8220;we certainly view ourselves along with IBM and Google in the leadership position&#8221;.
After its latest launch of 84-qubit Ankaa-3 system in December 2024, it outlined plans to scale to 100-plus qubits by the end of the year. However, IBM had unveiled its 400 qubit-plus quantum processor in 2022, which was not deployed because of challenges, said Kulkarni.
&#8220;IBM tried to go to 430-qubits a year ago and they had some challenges, which is why you don&#8217;t find it deployed right now,&#8221; he added. Google, on the other hand, last launched its Willow chip with 105 qubits.

Why It Matters: Despite IBM and Google&#8217;s lead in qubit counts, RGTI remained confident with its CEO saying that there were over 10 things to &#8220;differentiate&#8221; them from the peers. &#8220;The main differentiators are our open modular architecture, chiplet approach and a few other things like annealing,&#8221; Kulkarni said.
Along with this, RGTI expects strong government funding and focus on R&amp;D to keep them competitive in fidelity and gate speed advancements. &#8220;So overall between DOE and DoD, we are expecting sizable increase in U.S. government investment in quantum computing,&#8221; said CEO.
Its fourth quarter revenue came in at $2.3 million, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44153467/rigetti-computing-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-quanta-computer-collaboration-highlights">missing estimates</a>, with an adjusted EPS loss of $0.08, which met the estimates. Full-year revenue was $10.8 million, and net loss was $201 million. RGTI ended the year with $217.2 million in cash.
Rigetti also partnered with Quanta Computer with the latter investing $35 million and both committing over $100 million to the collaboration over the next five years.
Price Action: Rigetti rose 4.07% on Wednesday and fell 11% after-hours following its earnings announcement. The exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq Composite index, Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEQ#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) rose 1.43%.
The stock remains 59.10% lower on a year-to-date basis, however, it&#8217;s up 359.55% over a year.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WBA/analyst-ratings">Benzinga tracks eight analysts</a> with an average price target of $8.43 for the stock, reflecting a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating. Estimates range widely from $1.5 to $15. Recent ratings from Benchmark, and B. Riley Securities average at $12.5, suggesting a potential 71.70% upside.

Kroger, BJ's Wholesale Club And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Amgen Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) has kicked off two crucial phase three trials for MariTide, its investigational weight loss injection. This move marks a significant step in the company&#8217;s pursuit to break into the growing market for obesity drugs.
What Happened: The MARITIME program, the drug&#8217;s phase three development program, is advancing remarkably well, said Dr. Jay Bradner, Amgen&#8217;s Executive Vice President of Research and Development at the 45th Annual TDCowen Healthcare Conference on Wednesday, as per <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/05/amgen-weight-loss-drug-maritide-starts-two-phase-three-trials.html">CNBC</a>. MariTide, a monthly injection, is anticipated to rival the existing weekly weight loss injectables from Novo Nordisk&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) Ozempic and Wegovy and Eli Lilly&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Zepbound. These medications belong to a class called GLP-1s, which mimic specific gut hormones to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.
The initial trial in the new phase three series will evaluate MariTide in approximately 3,500 individuals with obesity or those who are overweight but do not have Type 2 diabetes. The second trial will evaluate MariTide in 999 patients who are obese or overweight and have Type 2 diabetes. Both studies are primarily focussed to measure the percentage of weight loss over 72 weeks.
In November, Amgen revealed that MariTide enabled obesity patients to lose an average of up to 20% of their weight over a year in a phase two trial, without reaching a weight loss plateau. However, these results did not meet Wall Street&#8217;s lofty expectations for the drug. Amgen&nbsp;is set to release&nbsp;additional information on MariTide this&nbsp;year.

Why It Matters: According to Morgan Stanley Research, the global market for weight-loss drugs is projected to reach $105 billion by 2030. The obesity drug market is also highly competitive, with companies like&nbsp;Novo Nordisk&nbsp;recently enhancing access to its weight-loss medication, Wegovy, by lowering prices and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44143391/novo-nordisk-boosts-wegovy-access-with-lower-pricing-and-home-delivery">offering home delivery</a>. Amgen&#8217;s entry into this market with MariTide could potentially disrupt the current market dynamics.
Moreover, Amgen&#8217;s recent success with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44083934/amgen-astrazeneca-partnered-asthma-drug-shows-rapid-and-sustained-effect-in-chronic-rhinosinusitis">partnered asthma drug </a>with&nbsp;AstraZeneca&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) in treating chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, further underscores the company&#8217;s commitment to addressing significant health issues. The success of MariTide in the upcoming trials could further cement Amgen&#8217;s position in the pharmaceutical industry.

Amgen Challenges Novo Nordisk's Ozempic And Eli Lilly's Zepbound As Its Monthly Weight Loss Drug MariTide Enters Two Late-Stage Trials

인공지능(AI) 발전에 따라 전력 수요에 대한 기대치의 변화가 더욱 분명해지고 있다. 중국 AI 회사인 딥시크의 등장으로 미래 전력 소비에 대한 불확실성이 야기되어 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/utilities">유틸리티 및 전력 주식에 영향을 미치고 있다.</a>
전통적인 전력 및 유틸리티 부문의 투자자들은 작년에 급증한 수요 예측의 물결을 타고 난 후 불확실성에 직면했다. AI 및 기타 기술 혁신에 중요한 에너지 집약적 데이터센터의 급속한 확장은 전력 주식의 급증을 촉진했다.
그러나 이러한 예측에 의문이 제기되면서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">전력 중심의 ETF</a>가 다시 주목을 받게 되었다. 전문가들은 이것이 일시적인 패닉에 불과할 것이라고 생각하지만, 단기적인 혼란에 덜 민감한 3가지 ETF는 다음과 같다.
Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>)
XLU 펀드는 아메리칸 일렉트릭 파워(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEP#NASDAQ">AEP</a>)와 서던 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>)를 포함한 미국의 주요 유틸리티 회사에 대한 노출을 제공한다. 이 ETF는 단기 시장 변동에 덜 민감한 규제 대상 유틸리티 회사로부터 안정적인 수익과 배당 소득을 추구하는 투자자들에게 인기 있는 선택이다. 운용보수율은 0.09%이다.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight Utilities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSPU#NYSE">RSPU</a>)
전통적인 유틸리티 ETF는 시가총액 가중치를 적용하지만, RSPU 펀드는 반대로 보유 자산에 동일한 가중치를 적용하여 투자자가 위험을 분산시킬 수 있도록 한다. 이 ETF에는 전기 생산, 송전, 재생 에너지 관련 기업이 포함되어 있어 에너지 부문의 변동성에 대한 잠재적 헤지 수단이 될 수 있다. 운용보수율은 0.4%이다.
First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure Index Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRID#NASDAQ">GRID</a>)
GRID 펀드는 스마트 그리드 기술, 전기화 인프라, 송전에 종사하는 기업에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 미국이 재생 에너지로의 전환을 가속화함에 따라, 스마트 그리드와 전기 저장 장치에 대한 투자는 AI 관련 변동과 관계없이 장기적인 수요 증가의 혜택을 받을 수 있다.
<h3>AI 혁명이 전력 수요에 미치는 영향</h3>
딥시크는 AI 데이터센터에 의해 주도되는 전력 수요에 대한 오랜 예측에 도전장을 내밀었다. E&amp;E 뉴스의 <a href="https://www.eenews.net/articles/game-changer-what-deepseek-ai-means-for-electricity/">보도</a>에 따르면, 딥시크의 AI 모델은 유사한 미국 모델보다 "10~40배 적은 에너지를 사용"한다고 한다.
AI 기반 전력 수요 증가에 대한 기대감으로 급등했던 유틸리티 및 천연가스 회사들은 큰 폭의 손실을 입었다. 로이터 통신에 따르면, 독립 전력 공급업체인 콘스텔레이션 에너지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>)는 약 20% 하락했으며, 비스트라(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>)는 30% 하락했고, 탈렌 에너지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLN#NASDAQ">TLN</a>)는 딥시크의 소식 이후 22% 하락했다.
일부 전문가들은 이로 인해 전력 수요 증가에 대한 기대치가 재설정될 수 있다고 생각하는 반면, 다른 전문가들은 미국 제조업의 확장과 암호화폐 채굴을 포함한 광범위한 전기화 추세로 인해 전력 수요가 계속 높을 것이라고 주장한다.
E&amp;E 뉴스에 따르면, 웨스트 몬로(West Monroe)의 전무이사인 베시 소렌 존스(Betsy Soehren Jones)는 "다른 주요 동인, 특히 미국 제조업과 암호화폐는 딥시크의 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 전반적인 전력 수요는 여전히 급증할 것&#8221;이라고 말했다.
딥시크의 성과는 기술 회사들이 AI 개발의 청정에너지의 핵심 원천으로 여기는 원자력의 수요에 의문을 제기할 수도 있다. 투자자들은 원자력에 대해 100달러/MWh 이상의 높은 프리미엄을 기대해 왔지만, 아거스 미디어(Argus Media)에 <a href="https://www.argusmedia.com/en/news-and-insights/latest-market-news/2652323-deepseek-undermines-ai-power-demand-forecasts">따르면</a> 제프리스는 고객 메모에서 새로운 효율성 향상으로 인해 상황이 바뀔 수 있다고 전했다.
AI 데이터센터의 전력 수요 감소는 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) 및 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) 같은 회사들이 지원하는 차세대 소형 모듈형 원자로(SMR)에 대한 지원도 약화시킬 수 있다.
<h3>전력 및 유틸리티 부문에 대한 뱅크오브아메리카의 견해</h3>
최근 뱅크오브아메리카(BofA) 보고서에 따르면, 전력 및 유틸리티 부문은 딥시크의 AI 모델에 대한 단기적인 시장 반응에도 불구하고 회복력을 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 해당 보고서는 콘스텔레이션 에너지 목표주가를 366달러로 상향 조정하여 매수 의견을 유지하고, 비스트라에 대해서는 183달러 목표주가와 중립 의견을 유지했다.
BofA 애널리스트들은 딥시크로 인한 매도세를 과잉 반응으로 보고, 혼란이 가라앉으면 데이터센터 수요가 계속 강세를 유지할 것으로 예상한다. 해당 보고서는 딥시크를 "혁신적이라기보다는 진화적"이라고 묘사하고, AI 기반 데이터센터가 계속해서 전력 소비를 주도할 것이라고 설명했다.
또한 BofA는 산업 확장과 전기화로 인해 에너지 시장의 공급과 수요 압박이 여전히 심하다고 지적했다. 원자력 같은 안정적인 에너지 원에 대한 필요성은 여전히 필수적이다.
<h3>딥시크가 전력 시나리오 바꿀까?</h3>
딥시크의 AI 모델이 단기적으로 불확실성을 가져왔지만, 에너지 경제학자 에드 허스(Ed Hirs)가 로이터 통신에 언급한 것처럼, 일부 애널리스트들은 전력 주식 매도가 "근시안적이고 단기적"일 수 있다고 생각한다. 더 효율적인 AI 모델이 등장하더라도, 지속적인 디지털화와 전기화에 힘입어 전력 수요는 증가할 가능성이 높다.
즉, 시장의 급격한 반응에도 불구하고, 전기화 및 기술 주도 성장의 광범위한 추세는 전기 소비가 계속 증가할 것임을 시사한다.
