The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) has trimmed its content budget to $23 billion, down from its previous $24 billion allocation, as part of its ongoing cost-cutting efforts — but CFO Hugh Johnston insists that the company remains confident in its earnings outlook.
What Happened: During Disney's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43494650/disney-q1-earnings-powered-by-moana-2-and-mufasa-theme-parks-loses-streaming-subscribers">first-quarter earnings</a> call, Johnston addressed the company's strategic financial moves, underscoring that cost-cutting is an ongoing process aimed at maximizing efficiency.
&#8220;As a company, we&#8217;re focused constantly on identifying opportunities where we&#8217;re spending money, perhaps less efficiently, and looking for opportunities to do it more efficiently,&#8221; Johnston said. &#8220;That&#8217;s not a once-a-year thing, that&#8217;s not a once-a-month thing—that&#8217;s something that we do every day of the year.&#8221;
Despite reducing content spending by $1 billion, Disney's financial outlook remains strong. The company started the year with over 40% earnings growth in the first quarter, surpassing expectations.

However, Johnston said that while Disney feels &#8220;very, very positive&#8221; about the rest of the year, it is too soon to revise earnings guidance.
&#8220;It certainly gives us confidence—an even higher level of confidence than we probably even had before as we get into the balance of the year,&#8221; he said. &#8220;At the same time, given the rapidly evolving macro environment, we think it would be premature at this point to change the guidance.&#8221;
Johnston also hinted that Disney may exceed expectations if current business momentum continues, saying, &#8220;We're certainly not a management team that&#8217;s afraid of overdelivering if, in fact, that is where the business takes us.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Disney&#8217;s fiscal first-quarter revenue rose 5% year-over-year to $24.70 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $24.62 billion. Adjusted EPS came in at $1.76, beating the forecast of $1.45.
At quarter-end, Disney had 178 million Disney+ Core and Hulu subscriptions. Paid Disney+ Core subscribers totaled 125 million, down 0.7 million from the previous quarter.
The Lion King contributed to $312 million in operating income for Content Sales, Licensing, and Others.
For fiscal 2025, Disney reaffirmed high-single-digit growth in adjusted EPS compared to 2024, while analysts expected $5.41. The company targets approximately $15 billion in operating cash flow.
Price Action: Disney's stock declined 0.22% in after-hours trading, settling at $110.30. Earlier on Wednesday, it closed at $110.54, down 2.44%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Disney Cuts Content Budget By $1 Billion As It Pushes For Efficiency: House Of Mouse Says Too Early To Revise Guidance Despite Earnings Beat

Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) announced that its weight-loss drug Wegovy has reached 1.2 million U.S. patients. Of these, 55 million individuals are covered by insurance, and over 80% pay less than $25 per prescription, according to statements made during the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43491991/novo-nordisk-records-more-than-double-wegovy-sales-in-q4-seeks-regulatory-approval-for-hybrid-weight-loss-drug-in-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fourth-quarter 2024 earnings call</a>.
What Happened: The Danish pharmaceutical giant faces potential challenges as semaglutide-containing products, including Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus, have been selected for the second round of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) price negotiations. 
The negotiations are set to conclude in early November, with maximum fair prices to be published by month-end and implementation scheduled for Jan.1, 2027.
&#8220;We oppose government price setting like we have from the beginning,&#8221; stated David Moore, Executive Vice President of U.S. Operations and Global Business Development at Novo Nordisk. 
The pricing debate has drawn attention from diverse quarters, including Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Sen.&nbsp;Bernie Sanders, (I-VT), who have both criticized the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41082125/stop-ripping-us-off-incredibly-elon-musk-and-bernie-sanders-seem-to-agree-on-this-one-thing-i-re">drug&#8217;s high U.S. costs</a>. 
Sanders highlighted that Wegovy&#8217;s monthly prescription costs $1,349 in the U.S., compared to significantly lower prices in other countries: $186 in Denmark, $140 in Germany, and $92 in the U.K.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43518087/official-trump-coin-jumps-427-but-still-75-below-januarys-all-time-high">TRUMP Meme Coin Jumps 4.27%, Outpaces Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Dogecoin, But It&#8217;s Still Nowhere Near January Highs</a>
Why It Matters: The situation has become more complex with the involvement of Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has gained access to CMS systems. The move is part of a broader initiative to identify potential fraud and waste in government healthcare spending, though CMS maintains that two senior agency veterans are overseeing the collaboration to ensure appropriate system access.
Despite these challenges, Novo Nordisk remains focused on market expansion. &#8220;Building a sustainable obesity market for the long term is through market access and having patients have a reasonable co-pay,&#8221; Moore said. 
Looking ahead, Novo Nordisk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43491991/novo-nordisk-records-more-than-double-wegovy-sales-in-q4-seeks-regulatory-approval-for-hybrid-weight-loss-drug-in-2026">projects sales growth</a> between 16% and 24% in constant exchange rates for 2025, though this represents a decrease from the 26% growth achieved in 2024.

Novo Nordisk Opposes 'Government Price Setting' As Elon Musk's DOGE Gains Access To CMS Amid Bernie Sanders' Criticism

Chinese EV giant BYD Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) overtook its American counterpart Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in new vehicle registrations in January in the UK, according to recent industry data.
What Happened: According to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), Tesla had 1,458 registrations in January, down from the 1,581 registered in the corresponding month of 2024. 
BYD, in comparison, had 1,614 registrations, up by 551% from last year.
Both BYD and Tesla make only electric vehicles. However, unlike Tesla which makes only battery electric vehicles, BYD also makes plug-in hybrids. 
BYD Vs. Tesla: The rivalry between Tesla and BYD is not limited to the UK market. 
The Chinese company first&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36839203/warren-buffett-backed-byd-sees-higher-profits-for-fy23-after-taking-over-tesla-as-biggest-ev-seller" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">took over Tesla</a>&nbsp;as the world&#8217;s largest BEV seller in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, Tesla took back the crown in the first quarter of 2024 and held on to it for three consecutive quarters through the end of September. In the fourth quarter, BYD stole back the title. 
Tesla reported in January that it delivered&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">495,570 BEVs in the three months</a>&nbsp;through the end of December, significantly lower than the 595,413 BEVs&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42758760/tesla-rival-byd-marks-50-growth-in-december-passenger-vehicle-sales-likely-to-trump-tesla-in-q4-bev-sales-yet-again" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sold by BYD</a>&nbsp;in the period.
Vehicle Registrations In The UK: In January, battery electric vehicle registrations in the UK rose 42% to 29,634 units while plug-in hybrid registrations rose 5.5% to 12,598 units. Overall vehicle registrations, across fuel types, however, fell 2.5% to 139,345 units following a drop in registrations of gas and diesel-powered vehicles. 
Weak consumer confidence and tough economic conditions contributed to this decline in registrations, SMMT said. 
&#8220;Despite the increase in the month, BEV market share still remains short of the 22% target set by government for last year, and even further behind the 28% requirement for 2025,&#8221; SMMT said about EV sales in the country while calling for increased government encouragement for EVs.
&#8220;Affordability remains a major barrier to uptake, hence the need for compelling measures to boost demand, and not just from manufacturers,&#8221; Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said in a statement.

Earnings Scheduled For February 6, 2025

Jamie Dimon, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), has recently shared insights into why he chose not to pursue a bid for the U.S. presidency. His decision was influenced by family considerations and an absence of political experience.
What Happened: Dimon confirmed in an episode of the How Leaders Lead podcast with host David Novak, that he had considered a political career. However, he ultimately prioritized his family and his responsibilities at JPMorgan.
The JPMorgan Chase CEO voiced concerns about the potential impact on his family life. &#8220;Had I run and won, when I was walking into that White House I'd be waving goodbye to my family for four years," he stated.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Inside the Mind of Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan CEO: Lessons on Leadership and Success" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xh6l39k3ngE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</figure>
Dimon, who earned $39 million in 2024, also cited his lack of political experience as a contributing factor to his decision. He suggested that business acumen may not necessarily be applicable in the political realm and that prior experience in Washington, D.C., should be a prerequisite for a presidential campaign.
Despite his current stance, Dimon did not completely dismiss the possibility of a future in politics. &#8220;I&nbsp;would never rule it out—I'm&nbsp;not making any promise to&nbsp;anyone. If I change my&nbsp;mind, I change my mind,&#8221; he commented.

Why It Matters: Dimon&#8217;s political inclinations have been a topic of interest, given his active engagement in public discourse. In January, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43150451/jamie-dimo-supports-trumps-tariffs-if-its-a-little-inflationary-but-its-good-for-national-security-so-be-it">publicly supported President</a> Donald Trump's proposed tariffs, arguing that the national security benefits outweighed potential inflationary impacts.
Moreover, Dimon&#8217;s ability to bridge gaps was highlighted when he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43339032/jamie-dimon-calls-elon-musk-our-einstein-after-years-of-feuds-weve-hugged-it-out-and-settled-differences-at-tech-summit">reconciled</a> with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk after a series of public disputes and called him &#8216;Our Einstein&#8217;. Dimon also expressed his interest in assisting Musk with his new role in budget cuts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Reports suggest that Musk could team up with Jamie Dimon to persuade bond markets that cost-cutting initiatives at DOGE would be beneficial for U.S. debt.
Over the last 12 months, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. stock surged over 50%. The company finished a strong fourth quarter, with a net income of $14 billion, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Bristol-Myers Squibb, Amazon And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

ING Groep (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ING#NYSE">ING</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.40 per share. This is a 17.71 percent decrease over earnings of $0.48 per share from the same period last year. The company reported $5.77 billion in sales this quarter. This is a 0.88 percent decrease over sales of $5.82 billion the same period last year.

ING Groep Q4 EPS $0.40 Down From $0.48 YoY, Sales $5.77B Down From $5.82B YoY

The Earth Fund—a $10 billion initiative founded by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos—has discontinued its support for the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a major verifier of corporate climate goals that influences how companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and H&amp;M attain a "net zero" label.
What Happened: The Earth Fund&#8217;s decision to withdraw support for the SBTi follows staff concerns about its influence and is viewed as Bezos&#8217; response to policies endorsed by President Donald Trump, who recently directed the U.S. to exit the Paris Agreement on climate action, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/c3bf3f5f-afa2-44ce-8314-18ad321cd983">reported</a> The Financial Times.
The Earth Fund and the IKEA Foundation are the two primary funders of the SBTi. The SBTi has faced criticism, including from its own staff, for last year&#8217;s decision to relax rules on how companies can use carbon credits to reduce their reported supply-chain emissions.
Some employees have speculated whether the meetings held by the Earth Fund in London in the weeks leading up to this decision may have had an influence.

Why It Matters: The current move comes as a sharp contrast to Bezos&#8217; previous commitment toward the climate initiative. In January, he also emphasized the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42801788/jeff-bezos-says-good-old-days-are-such-an-illusion-as-far-as-planet-earth-is-concerned-but-theres-one-exception">urgent need to address environmental issues</a> at the New York Times' DealBook Summit. Despite the Earth Fund withdrawal, the Bezos Foundation continues to back the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the World Resources Institute.
 The decision to stop backing SBTi is widely seen as a move by the Amazon founder to avoid conflicts with President Trump and strengthen ties. This move could also be directed by the billionaire to alleviate antitrust pressure on his business. 
In April 2023, Bezos&#8217;s e-commerce giant was embroiled in a lawsuit with The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which alleged that Amazon developed a secret pricing algorithm called &#8220;Project Nessie,&#8221; which could have led to over $1 billion in extra profits. The company secured <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41108210/amazon-secures-partial-victory-over-ftc-in-monopoly-case-trial-split-into-two-by-judge">partial victory</a> on the case in September, though.
However, the Bezos Foundation continues to back the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the World Resources Institute.

Jeff Bezos' $10 Billion Earth Fund Pulls Support From Key Climate Initiative: What Happened?

Described by the management as the &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43503691/uber-stock-is-down-despite-reporting-strongest-quarter-ever-heres-why-investors-are-tapping-the-brakes">strongest quarter ever</a>,&#8217; the shares of Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) plunged after its fourth-quarter earnings due to foreign exchange headwinds amid a stronger dollar and an earnings per share miss.
What Happened: Uber <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43495476/uber-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-growth-in-rides-delivery-and-autonomous-tech-ceo-calls-it-strongest-quarter">missed</a> its adjusted EPS of 48 cents by 52.1% as per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, coming in 23 cents for the fourth quarter. The stock plunged 7.56% to $64.48 apiece after the report.
However, the more significant headwinds in the said quarter were from a 3% annual loss of $1.1 billion on foreign exchange returns, driven by a broad-based strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, with a notable devaluation of the Argentine peso, Brazilian real, and Mexican peso.
Additionally, the first quarter gross bookings outlook incorporates a substantial forex headwind, emphasizing the impact of currency fluctuations on reported growth.
&#8220;We are expecting FX to be a larger topline headwind in Q1,&#8221; said company CFO Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah during the earnings call.
While the fourth quarter gross booking was up 21% year-on-year to $44.2 billion, the company now expects gross bookings in the range of $42-43.5 billion for the first quarter, representing a 5.5 percentage-point currency headwind.
However, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi added, &#8220;Despite FX headwinds, we expect continued strong growth in Q1 with 17% to 21% constant currency gross bookings growth and continued profit expansion.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The U.S. dollar prices have risen since President Donald Trump won the elections and has been engaged in tariff negotiations with some of its biggest trading partners including Canada, China, and Mexico. 
Uber&#8217;s fourth-quarter revenue rose 20% year-on-year to $11.96 billion, exceeding estimates. Mobility revenue grew 25% to $6.91 billion, Delivery was up 21% to $3.77 billion, and Freight was flat at $1.28 billion.
Monthly active users reached 171 million, up 14%. The ride-hailer ended the year with $7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.7 billion in free cash flow. Khosrowshahi also cited record growth in users, trips, and bookings, driven by innovation including autonomous vehicles, calling it the &#8220;strongest quarter ever&#8221;.
Price Action: Uber&#8217;s stock has risen 2.07% on a year-to-date basis, whereas the exchange-traded fund tracking S&amp;P 500, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) advanced 3.35% in the same period. Over the last year, Uber declined by 8.50% and SPY was up 22.32%. The U.S. Dollar Index Spot was up 0.15% to 107.737 level during the publication of this article. 
The average price target among 34 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UBER/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a> is $91.81 with a ‘buy' rating. The estimates range from $77 to $120 apiece. Recent ratings from Needham, UBS, and Cantor Fitzgerald suggest a $92.33 target, implying a potential upside of 41.99%.

Uber's Strong Q4 Offset By $1.1 Billion Forex Headwind, Currency Devaluation: Ongoing Tariff Wars Drive Weak Q1 Outlook

Germany Factory Orders (MoM) For December 6.9% Vs. 1.9% Est.; -5.4% Prior

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will reportedly start production at its Shanghai megafactory on Feb. 11, less than a year after starting construction.
What Happened: According to a report from local media outlet Shanghai Securities News, the megafactory in Shanghai, Tesla&#8217;s second globally, will start production on Feb. 11 and ramp up capacity in the first quarter. 
Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for confirmation on the report. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42680075/tesla-exec-says-we-will-be-ready-to-efficiently-produce-autonomous-vehicles-as-shanghai-megafactory-nears-completion">Shanghai megafactory</a> is the company's first factory dedicated to the production of energy storage products outside the U.S. Currently, Tesla has only one other factory dedicated to manufacturing megapacks, located in Lathrop, California. The Lathrop facility has the capability of producing 40 GWh of energy storage products.
Tesla officially began the construction of the Shanghai megafactory in May, taking only seven months from the start of construction to starting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42737037/tesla-shanghai-megafactory-starts-trial-production-seven-months-after-breaking-ground">trial production</a> in December.
Megapack is a powerful battery manufactured by the company in addition to its home battery called Powerwall.&nbsp;Each megapack unit can store over 3.9 Megawatt-hours of energy or enough to power an average of 3,600 homes for an hour.
Why It Matters: Tesla reported revenue of over $3 billion from its energy generation and storage segment in the fourth quarter or more than double the $1.44 billion reported in the corresponding quarter of 2023, upon deploying a record&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780335/teslas-evergy-storage-deployements-rise-in-q4-even-as-vehicle-deliveries-disappoint" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">11.0 GWh of energy storage products</a>.
Revenue from the energy segment accounted for about 12% of the company's total revenue in the quarter, while the automotive segment accounted for 77%. The company reported quarterly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43321103/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-ev-updates-automaker-says-2025-will-be-a-seminal-year" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">total revenue</a>&nbsp;of $25.71 billion, missing a street consensus estimate of $27.26 billion.
Tesla continues to be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41537560/teslas-energy-segment-boom-in-q3-sparks-leadership-changes-veteran-mike-snyder-promoted-as-vp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hopeful for its energy segment</a>&nbsp;for it said late last month that it expects energy storage deployment to grow at least 50% year-over-year in 2025. Both the powerwall and megapack continue to be supply-constrained as it opens to new markets, the company added.

Noted short seller Jim Chanos raised the alarm about potential unpredictable risks and excessive speculation in the U.S. markets, citing the recent DeepSeek debacle that wiped out nearly $1 trillion in market value.
What Happened: In a conversation with <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-02-05/full-digital-jim-chanos-president-founder-chanos-company">Bloomberg TV</a> on Wednesday, Chanos highlighted that the most significant threats to the U.S. markets in the next six to twelve months would be unforeseen events akin to the DeepSeek incident. &#8220;The real risks will be something like DeepSeek that comes out of left field that changes people's thinking,&#8221; Chanos said. &#8220;By definition, we do not know what that is.&#8221;
Chanos also voiced his worries about excessive speculation in the stock market. However, he pointed out that it has not yet reached the heights of the 2021 boom when the S&amp;P 500 soared by 27%. He stressed the need for investors to differentiate between companies that justify their high valuations and those that do not.
Furthermore, Chanos expressed concerns about the market&#8217;s reaction to political drama, particularly President Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs. He argued that a 10% levy against China would not generate significant revenues and suggested that tariffs would need to be significantly increased on both China and the EU.

Kevin O&#8217;Leary Calls BS On DeepSeek&#8217;s $6M Budget, Claims They Ripped Off 60k Nvidia Chips From The Black Market</a>
Why It Matters: The DeepSeek incident Chanos referred to has been a hot topic in the AI industry. The Chinese AI startup, DeepSeek, developed an open-source language model, R1, for under $6 million, which outperformed established competitors in several tests, challenging the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43382103/experts-say-deepseek-proves-high-performance-ai-possible-without-silicon-valleys-spending">big-spending approach</a> prevalent in Silicon Valley.
However, DeepSeek came under scrutiny when U.S. officials began investigating whether it acquired advanced Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips through backdoor channels, potentially bypassing U.S. sanctions.
Furthermore, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/02/43491799/meta-ai-models-clearly-behind-deepseek-says-analysts-after-mark-zuckerberg-admitted-deepseek-did-some-novel-things-were-still-digesting">a research note </a>from Piper Sandler suggested that while DeepSeek is ahead of Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) latest Llama model, it still lags behind leading AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic by about six months.
Meanwhile, Don Townswick, director of equity strategies at Conning Asset Management warned that the impact of DeepSeek could shake the U.S. markets once again. Speaking to MarketWatch, he stated, "If DeepSeek's technology turns out to be less reliable than currently believed, the ‘Magnificent Seven' stocks would likely benefit.&#8221; On the whole, Townswick sees broader corporate gains in the long run if more companies integrate cheaper AI solutions if DeepSeek succeeds in offering a lower-cost AI alternative.
These developments have triggered a mix of optimism about democratized AI and fears of an AI stock bubble bursting, sending ripples throughout financial markets.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">지정학적 긴장과 경제 불확실성</a>이 고조되는 가운데 금 상승 모멘텀은 둔화될 기미가 보이고 있다. 중앙은행과 투자자들이 안전을 추구하며 금에 눈을 돌리면서 SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 금 현물 가격은 수요일(5일) 온스당 2,860달러에 마감하며 5거래일 연속 상승을 기록했다.
세계금협회(World Gold Council)는 수요일 공유한 보고서에서 장외 투자를 포함한 총 금 수요가 4분기에 전년 대비 1% 증가해 2024년 4,974톤이라는 신기록을 세웠다고 강조했다.
중앙은행들은 3년 연속 1,000톤 이상의 금을 매입하며 주도적인 역할을 해왔으며, 4분기에는 매입량이 333톤으로 급격히 증가했다.
세계금협회는 "중앙은행과 투자자들이 시장 강세를 주도하고 있으며, 가치 측면에서의 수요는 이전에는 볼 수 없었던 수준에 도달했다"고 설명했다.
<h3>중앙은행들이 금 매입 서두르는 이유?</h3>
중앙은행의 금 매입 급증은 지정학적 리스크가 고조되는 가운데 미국 달러에 대한 의존도를 줄이려는 기관들이 글로벌 금융에 전략적 변화를 꾀하고 있다는 신호다.
최근 도널드 트럼프의 10% 수입 관세 부과와 중국의 미국산 에너지 수입에 대한 보복 조치로 촉발된 미국과 중국 간의 긴장은 헤지 수단으로서 금의 위상을 더욱 강화시켰다.
트럼프 대통령이 가자지구에 미군을 파견할 가능성을 시사하면서 불확실성이 더욱 커져 투자자들이 금으로 몰리고 있다.
반에크(VanEck) 포트폴리오 매니저인 이마루 카사노바는 이렇게 말했다. &#8220;이번 금 가격 움직임은 지난 2년간 금 시장 역학 관계의 중대한 변화를 반영한다고 생각한다. 전 세계 중앙은행들은 2022년 이후 기록적인 양의 금괴를 매입하면서 금 수요와 금 가격의 주요 동인으로 부상했다.&#8221;
<h3>금 랠리 속 여전히 저평가된 금 채굴주의 추격 플레이</h3>
금 가격의 괄목할 만한 상승세에도 불구하고 세계 최대 금 채굴업체 중 일부는 실적이 크게 저조한 것으로 나타났다.
스프로트 자산운용(Sprott Asset Management) CEO인 존 시암파글리아(John Ciampaglia)는 이렇게 말했다. &#8220;세계 최대 금 채굴 업체 중 일부는 작년에 어려움을 겪었다. 뉴몬트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>)와 배릭 골드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>)는 금보다 실적이 상당히 저조했다. 많은 투자자들이 금 주식에 투자하는 이유는 운영 레버리지 때문이기 때문에 그 점을 잘 이해하지 못하는 것 같다."
하지만 최근 금 채굴주들이 따라잡기 시작했다. 수요일에 VanEck Gold Miners ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>)는 2.2% 상승하여 10월 말 이후 최고치를 기록했고, 2020년 7월 이후 최장 기간인 6주 연속 상승세를 이어가고 있다. 올해 들어 금 채굴주는 18.9% 상승하며 다른 모든 산업을 능가하는 수익률을 기록했다.
수요일 GDX ETF 내 최고 수익률을 기록한 금 채굴주는 다음과 같다.
