Top 3 Consumer Stocks You'll Regret Missing This Month

CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer took to the social media platform X to endorse Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) strong fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43019420/quantum-computing-taiwan-semiconductor-meta-intuitive-surgical-and-tesla-why-these-5-stocks-are-on-investors-radars-today">earnings</a> while taking a jibe at outgoing president Joe Biden&#8216;s sanctions on the chipmaker.
What Happened: Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chip supplier TSMC beat its fourth-quarter revenue and earnings per share estimates on Thursday, &#8220;telling an excellent story,&#8221; according to Cramer&#8217;s X post.
However, Cramer added flavor to his observation by stating &#8220;what semi-sanction will Biden pull out of the hat next!&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
TSMC delivered earnings of $2.24 per share on revenue of $26.88 billion. The EPS was 3.70% higher, whereas the revenue was 1.91% higher as compared to estimates.
The earnings also beat revenue guidance of $25.8 billion, whereas the gross margin for the quarter was in line with 59% growth guided by the company.

Why It Matters: On Wednesday, the Biden administration placed over two dozen Chinese entities on a U.S. trade restriction list, including Zhipu AI, a developer of large language models, and Sophgo, a company whose TSMC-manufactured chip was unlawfully integrated into a Huawei AI processor, reported Reuters.
Additionally, the Commerce Department enhanced controls on chip exports to China to more effectively prevent diversion to Huawei.
Price Action: TSMC&#8217;s stock was up 3.14% in premarket to $213.44 on Thursday. Over the past year, it has experienced a notable growth of 103.40%.
TSMC has a consensus price target of $200.8, according to the 6 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSM/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a>. The high target is $250, and the low is $89. Recent ratings by Barclays, Barclays, and Needham suggest a $226.67 target, implying a 4.67% upside.

M&T's CET1 Capital Ratio Rose For The Seventh Straight Quarter To 11.67% As Of December 31, 2024, Up 13 Basis Points From September

On Thursday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) fourth-quarter results beat forecasts, fueled by demand for advanced processor node technologies for artificial intelligence applications.
The contract chipmaker, which supplies chips for&nbsp;Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) graphics processing unit&nbsp;(GPU)&nbsp;and Apple, Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) smartphones, guided first-quarter revenue <a target="_blank" href="https://investor.tsmc.com/english/quarterly-results/2024/q4" rel="noreferrer noopener">above the consensus</a>.
Taiwan Semiconductor reported fourth-quarter revenue of $26.88 billion (NT$868.46 billion), up 38.8% year-over-year, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $26.28 billion.

Net income and earnings per share were NT$374.68 billion and NT$14.45 per share ($2.24) versus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus of $2.23</a>.
In dollar terms, revenue growth was 37.0% year over year and 14.4% quarter over quarter. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips" rel="noreferrer noopener">The top-line performance</a> aligned with the company&#8217;s guidance of $26.1 billion—$26.9 billion.
Taiwan Semiconductor said its business was supported by demand for its 3-nm and 5-nm technologies. However, it expects smartphone seasonality to impact the first quarter, partially offset by continued growth in AI-related demand.
The company said 3-nm accounted for 26% of the total revenue, 5-nm accounted for 34%, and 7-nm technologies accounted for 14%. 7-nm and more advanced technologies comprised 74% of the total wafer revenue.
Margin Profile:&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s AI technology moat helped it expand its fourth-quarter gross margins by 600 bps to 59%, as its 3-nm and 5-nm chips gain traction at the cost of&nbsp;Intel Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and&nbsp;Samsung Electronics&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>),&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42825523/taiwan-semi-likely-for-upside-backed-by-ai-demand-and-advanced-node-pricing-analyst-says" rel="noreferrer noopener">which struggled to transition</a>&nbsp;into advanced nodes. Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s operating margin expanded by 740 bps to 49%.
Outlook: Taiwan Semiconductor is guided for first-quarter 2025 revenue of $25.0 billion-$25.8 billion versus the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">$24.97 billion consensus estimate</a>. It expects a gross margin of 57%—59% and operating profit margins of 46.5%—48.5%.
The company earmarked fiscal 2025 capex worth $38 billion-$42 billion (versus $29.8 billion a year ago) amid intensifying geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, with the former eying tougher <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43003008/taiwan-semi-samsung-intel-may-face-stricter-us-rules-on-chip-exports-to-china-over-security-concerns" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence technology</a> restrictions on the latter, citing national security concerns.

Stagwell Announces Intent To Acquire ADK GLOBAL, Strengthening APAC Presence And Expanding Global Marketing Reach With Local Market Expertise

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) on Wednesday launched 365 Copilot Chat, its AI-powered chat service with AI agents and a new pay-as-you-go plan.
What Happened: The company has rebranded its AI chat service, formerly known as Bing Chat Enterprise, under a new plan named Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.
The service is tailored for businesses and offers features centered on workflow automation.
The Copilot Chat is built on OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-4 AI model and can be used for tasks such as conducting market research, preparing for meetings, creating key takeaways in Word documents, and even generating AI-powered images for social media posts and campaigns using Copilot Pages.

Earlier, AI agents were only accessible with the full Microsoft Copilot subscription, which costs $30 per user per month. However, with the new Copilot Chat plan, businesses can access Copilot AI agents directly within the chat experience and pay based on usage.
While the exact cost for Copilot Chat will vary depending on usage, it&#8217;s a significant move towards flexible pricing, particularly beneficial for businesses with fluctuating needs or smaller teams that may not require constant access to AI agents.
Copilot Chat is available in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app for Windows, Android, or iPhone app stores or via Microsoft 365 Copilot&#8217;s official website.

Why It Matters: The introduction of AI agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is part of a broader trend in the tech industry towards integrating AI into everyday business operations.
Startups like OpenAI or established players like Alphabet Inc.'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 have already rolled out or are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42446686/google-introduces-ai-agent-prototype-that-can-browse-the-web">preparing to introduce</a> comparable AI agent tools.
Meta Platforms Inc. (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also addressed the transition from chatbots to AI agents capable of handling more complex tasks and goals.
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang has likewise forecasted that AI-powered employees will soon become a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41869577/nvidias-huang-sees-ai-employees-on-the-horizon">vital component of the corporate</a> workforce.
Moreover, Microsoft also faces mounting pressure to deliver returns on its significant AI investments, with the software giant planning to allocate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801720/microsoft-to-invest-80-billion-in-ai-data-centers-for-fiscal-2025">about $80 billion this fiscal</a> year toward data centers and AI infrastructure.
In November last year, Microsoft started enabling customers to develop autonomous agents that need little human involvement. Some analysts suggest that this approach could provide tech companies with an easier route to monetization, noted Reuters.
Price Action: Microsoft&#8217;s stock increased by 2.56% on Wednesday, finishing at $426.31. In pre-market trading on Friday, it gained another 0.74%, reaching $429.48, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, on Thursday, during pre-market hours, Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) saw a rise of 3.74%. At the same time, Jack Dorsey&#8216;s Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>), Carvana Co and automaker Nikola Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLA#NASDAQ">NKLA</a>) also experienced gains of 1.09%, 1.50% and 0.81%, respectively. This uptick followed the announcement of the closure of <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Hindenburg Research</a>, a well-known short-selling firm.
Hindenburg Research, a prominent short-selling firm known for its high-profile investigations, announced its shutdown on Wednesday. Founder Nathan Anderson cited personal reasons for closing the firm, which had been active since 2017. The firm gained notoriety for its exposés on companies like the SMCI, Nikola and India&#8217;s Adani Group, leading to significant market impacts.
Last year, Hindenburg accused Super Micro Computer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/short-ideas/24/08/40579899/super-micro-computer-stock-falls-on-short-report-hindenburg-says-company-has-accounting">of &#8220;accounting manipulation,&#8221; </a>sibling self-dealing and sanctions evasion in a short report issued Tuesday.
Hindenburg&#8217;s reports have resulted in nearly 100 civil and criminal charges against various executives and companies. One of its most notable investigations was a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43022017/indias-second-richest-mans-conglomerate-rattled-by-hindenburg-researchs-damning-report-in-2023-adds-over-5-9-billion-after-short-seller-shuts-shop#:~:text=Why%20It%20Matters%3A%20Hindenburg%20had,founder%20Adani%20for%20alleged%20fraud.">gainst the Adani Group in 2023, </a>which led to over $100 billion in market value loss and legal repercussions for founder Gautam Adani. The firm's allegations against Nikola Corp in 2020 resulted in a major stock price drop and led to the resignation of its founder, Trevor Milton.
In its final report, Hindenburg accused&nbsp;Carvana Co&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>)&nbsp;of accounting irregularities, though the&nbsp;company denied these claims. Anderson plans to document Hindenburg&#8217;s investigative methods over the next six months, aiming to inspire future market watchdogs.

Why Taiwan Semiconductor Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 5%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Cathie Wood, the founder of asset management firm Ark Invest, said Wednesday that the firm's conviction in the $1.5 million bull case for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in 2030 has strengthened thanks to several bullish developments last year.
What happened: During an X Spaces discussion on Wednesday, Wood stated, "Our bull case is at $1.5 million. Our conviction in that bull case has grown," owing to what she described as "greenlights" in 2024.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><a href="https://t.co/CeCr8fphhq">https://t.co/CeCr8fphhq</a>
&mdash; ARK Invest (@ARKInvest) <a href="https://twitter.com/ARKInvest/status/1879649774875578695?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 15, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Wood, a veteran stock picker and long-time Bitcoin proponent, has set a base target price of $650,000 by 2030, with an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42019038/bitcoin-to-hit-up-to-1-5-million-by-2030-says-cathie-wood"> optimistic scenario</a> reaching $1.5 million.
She cited the launch of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/25/01/42971053/bitcoin-etfs-enter-2025-after-massive-first-year#:~:text=Bitcoin%20ETFs%20amassed%20%24129%20billion,in%20December%2C%20driving%20prices%20higher.">spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds</a>, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-bitcoin-halving">halving</a> that slowed Bitcoin's supply growth, and the presidential victory of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43008666/sec-under-trump-administration-to-revise-crypto-policies-report">pro-cryptocurrency</a> Donald Trump as crucial bullish catalysts for the apex cryptocurrency.&nbsp;

Wood also believed that the victory of a cryptocurrency-friendly candidate would have far-reaching implications for political support for the asset class.
&#8220;I think in the next administration we will probably see more bipartisanship.&#8221;
When asked what interesting narratives cryptocurrency investors should look out for in 2025, Wood said she was &#8220;intrigued&#8221; by the growing intersection of technologies, particularly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39151600/ai-and-bitcoin-mining-what-core-scientifics-unexpected-partnership-with-nvidia-backed-ai-f">between Bitcoin and artificial intelligence</a>.
&#8220;We think there are convergences among technologies that are going to cause explosive growth opportunities,&#8221; Wood stated. 
Why It Matters: Should Cathie Wood&#8217;s bullish prognosis of Bitcoin hitting $1.5 million by 2030 come true, it would mean a 1400% upside in five years. Interestingly enough, the digital asset has gained 1030% in the last five years.
Notably, Ark Invest was the first public asset manager to gain Bitcoin exposure at $250 in 2015. 
Ark Invest also launched a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund last year in conjunction with 21Shares, namely&nbsp;ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>). As of this writing, it was the <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">fourth-largest</a> Bitcoin fund, with nearly $4.73 billion in assets under management.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at&nbsp;$98,703.88, up 1.86% 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>.

Ark Invest's Cathie Wood Says Belief In Bitcoin's $1.5 Million Price Target By 2030 Has Grown

Shares of Adani group companies rose and added over $5.9 billion to investor wealth on Thursday, following the shutdown of the short-seller Hindenburg Research, as announced by its founder Nathan Anderson in a farewell <a href="https://hindenburgresearch.com/gratitude/">note</a> on Wednesday.
What Happened: Around ten listed companies owned by the Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, rose intraday on the Indian exchanges, led by the media company, New Delhi Television Ltd.
While NDTV rose over 13%, Indian cement companies like Ambuja Cements Ltd., and Sanghi Industries Ltd. rose 3.6% and 3.25%, respectively. Adani Green Energy Ltd. was up by 3.47%, whereas Adani Ports &amp; SEZ Ltd. advanced by 2.44%.
The ten listed stocks under the conglomerate experienced significant growth as of Thursday morning, adding $5.9 billion or Rs 51,100.62 crore to investor wealth. This surge resulted in a combined market capitalization of $14.791 billion or Rs 12.79 lakh crore for these stocks, as reported by NDTV Profit.

Why It Matters: Hindenburg had launched a scathing report on Adani in 2023, which wiped more than $100 billion in market value of the group&#8217;s companies and eventually led to U.S. prosecutors indicting founder Adani for alleged fraud.
The short seller first gained widespread attention in 2020 when it published a report exposing fraud at electric vehicle maker Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLA#NASDAQ">NKLA</a>). This exposé ultimately resulted in a four-year prison sentence for Nikola founder Trevor Milton on fraud charges.
The activist hedge fund&#8217;s recent targets included Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEP#NASDAQ">IEP</a>) and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>). Their final report accused Carvana Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) of accounting irregularities, which the company denied.
Hindenburg&#8217;s shutdown follows a trend of prominent short-sellers like Jim Chanos retiring. Founder Anderson plans to document Hindenburg&#8217;s methods, hoping to inspire future market watchdogs.

Dow Jumps 700 Points Following Inflation Data: Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Sean Duffy, President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42053292/trump-picks-sean-duffy-as-next-transportation-secretary-says-he-will-usher-in-the-golden-age-of-travel">nominee</a> to lead the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), reportedly wants electric vehicle owners to pay for using roads. 
What Happened: Duffy revealed his opinion at his confirmation hearing on Wednesday before the Senate Committee, Reuters reported. Duffy also acknowledged that implementing the move would be &#8220;challenging.&#8221;
&#8220;They should pay for use of our roads,&#8221; Duffy said. &#8220;How to do that, I think, is a little more challenging.&#8221;
Revenue for federally funded road repairs is collected through taxes on diesel and gasoline, Reuters noted. As EV owners do not pay taxes for either of these two commodities, they do not contribute to the revenue. 
However, in certain states like Georgia and Illinois, EV drivers pay fees to cover the costs of road repair. 
Duffy on Wednesday also pledged to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43020202/trumps-dot-pick-assures-ongoing-tesla-fsd-investigation-and-rigorous-oversight-of-boeing">maintain rigorous oversight of</a> troubled planemaker Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and continue safety investigations into Elon Musk&#8216;s EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) if confirmed.
Why It Matters: Current regulations pertaining to EVs are under question under the incoming Trump administration. Trump, during his Presidential campaign, swore to end what he termed &#8220;the electric vehicle mandate.&#8221; 
In November, it was also reported that&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s transition team&nbsp;is planning to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41999238/ross-gerber-blasts-teslas-support-for-ending-ev-tax-credit-as-insanity-amid-reported-policy-shift-under-trump-administration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">end the $7,500 consumer tax credit</a>&nbsp;for purchasing EVs under President Biden&#8217;s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Duffy&#8217;s attempt to charge EV drivers for road use, however, cannot be implemented by the Department of Transportation alone and would instead require it to work with Congress and implement new legislation.
If confirmed, Duffy would oversee critical agencies including the FAA, NHTSA, and Federal Railroad Administration.
