Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Indian PM Modi Discuss Deeper Tech Ties Amid Model Y Test Run In Mumbai

Warren Buffett's anti-Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rhetoric has long been discussed in market circles, with many trying to comprehend why one of the world's most valuable assets failed to impress the "Oracle of Omaha."
That being said, his firm, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), has indirect exposure to the price moves of the apex cryptocurrency through a company that bets on spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.
What happened: According to the latest 13F filing, Berkshire Hathaway held 680.23 million shares of banking giant Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), translating to a stake worth nearly $29.89 billion, at the end of 2024.
Notably, BAC was Berkshire Hathaway's third-largest holding, cornering about 11.88% of its investment portfolio.
However, unlike its investor, the financial behemoth was not hesitant to park its funds in Bitcoin.
BAC has a stake in each of the six top ETFs tracking Bitcoin&#8217;s spot price, with the largest position valued at $21.78 million in the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>). The company&#8217;s 13F filing revealed that it has held the shares since the first quarter of 2024 and scooped up an additional 249,292 shares in the fourth quarter.

Why It Matters: The investment sharply contrasted with Buffett's disdain toward Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. The seasoned stock picker has called Bitcoin<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728494/bitcoin-draws-ire-from-buffett-and-dimon-but-blockchain-technology-sees-a-softer-stance-from-both"> "probably rat poison squared"</a> and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728494/bitcoin-draws-ire-from-buffett-and-dimon-but-blockchain-technology-sees-a-softer-stance-from-both">&#8220;delusion&#8221;</a> in the past, questioning its intrinsic value.
Interestingly, like BAC, some other Berkshire Hathaway holdings are tied to cryptocurrencies.
Financial services company&nbsp;Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44622000/warren-buffett-avoids-bitcoin-but-do-you-know-berkshire-hathaway-holds-a-stake-in-a-bitcoin-hedge-advocate">also held over $85 million worth of IBIT shares</a> and deemed Bitcoin a &#8220;critical hedge&#8221; against fiat debasement and inflation.
Additionally, Berkshire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42480133/do-you-know-warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-has-positions-in-this-lesser-known-crypto-friendly-bank-heres-how-the-stock-has-performed-this-year">has a stake</a> in Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>), a Brazil-based cryptocurrency-friendly bank.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $84,624.93, up 0.03% 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>.&nbsp;
Shares of Berkshire Hathaway rose 0.13% in after-hours trading after closing 0.34% higher at $518.21 during Thursday&#8217;s regular session. BAC stock closed 0.21% higher at $37.41.
As of this writing, Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s stock was experiencing strong momentum.

Warren Buffett Dislikes Bitcoin—But Berkshire Hathaway Finds Itself Linked To BTC ETFs Through One Of Its Biggest Holdings

President Donald Trump's potential attempt to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell could rattle U.S. financial markets and undermine central bank independence, investment strategists warn.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s aggressive stance on tariffs has already caused turbulence in the financial markets.
Investment strategists have now warned against dismissing the possibility of Trump trying&nbsp;to remove Powell from the&nbsp;Fed.
Kathy Jones, chief fixed-income strategist at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, stated that Trump&#8217;s desire to fire Powell and lower interest rates is evident, according <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/if-trump-fires-powell-it-would-blindside-wall-street-and-rattle-financial-markets-4b21833c?g=d37519b0-9514-4474-9d8e-414d33c0919d&amp;ref=biztoc.com">to</a> a report by MarketWatch.
Trump has publicly criticized Powell&nbsp;for refusing to lower interest&nbsp;rates, demanding that&nbsp;the central bank follow the&nbsp;European Central Bank&#8217;s example,&nbsp;which announced its latest rate&nbsp;cut on Thursday.
Despite Trump&#8217;s threats, Powell has maintained that the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/fed-chair-powell-deliver-fresh-economic-view-tariffs-inject-uncertainty-2025-04-16/">Fed will wait</a> to see how Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;tariffs impact the economy and&nbsp;inflation before proceeding with further interest-rate cuts. He also stated that the Fed would not&nbsp;intervene if the stock market&nbsp;plummeted.

Following Trump&#8217;s social media post criticizing Powell, several press reports cited White House officials stating that <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/trump-says-his-proposed-tariffs-will-cost-americans-nothing-but-he-can-t-guarantee-anything-226489925905">Trump was not&nbsp;actually planning to fire Powell</a>.&nbsp;However, the authority Trump has to dismiss Powell remains unclear.
Analysts have warned that&nbsp;an upcoming Supreme Court decision&nbsp;could potentially undermine the independence&nbsp;of the Fed and other government agencies by expanding presidential powers. This could allow&nbsp;firings at institutions previously considered&nbsp;insulated from political pressure.
Despite the uncertainty, investors seemed willing to&nbsp;give Trump the benefit of&nbsp;the doubt, with the S&amp;P 500 index finishing&nbsp;slightly higher after a rocky&nbsp;session ahead of the long&nbsp;holiday weekend.
Why It Matters: The potential dismissal of Powell by Trump has been a topic of discussion since Trump&#8217;s re-election.
In November, Powell dismissed speculation about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41823887/powell-dismisses-talk-of-resignation-after-trump-victory-says-policy-is-still-res">his potential resignation</a> or removal upon Trump&#8217;s return to the White House, stating the president cannot legally fire the central banker.
However, Trump later said he had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42381894/donald-trump-shifts-stance-on-jerome-powell-says-no-immediate-plans-to-replace-fed-chair-i-dont-think-so">no immediate plans to remove Powell</a>.
Despite this, Trump&#8217;s criticism of Powell&#8217;s handling of interest rates has continued, leading to speculation about a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41849984/powell-brushes-off-trumps-removal-threat-economists-say-2026-could-be-his-last-stand">clash between the White House and the central bank</a>.
This ongoing tension, coupled with the lack of a perceived &#8220;Trump put&#8221; or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44661029/trump-and-fed-stand-firm-lack-of-a-put-could-drive-the-market-lower-very-quickly-warns-expert">&#8220;Fed put&#8221;</a>, could trigger a swift and significant market downturn.

Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is reportedly scaling back its Cybertruck production and shifting workers in response to a sales slump.
What Happened: Over the recent months, Tesla has been reducing&nbsp;production targets for several Cybertruck&nbsp;lines, with some operating at a significantly reduced capacity. The size of several Cybertruck production teams has also been cut down. Since the start of the year, Tesla has been reassigning workers from the Cybertruck line at its Gigafactory Texas to the Model Y line, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-production-drops-sales-slump-2025-4">reported </a>Business Insider.
 &#8220;It feels a lot like they&#8217;re filtering people out,&#8221; a worker commented. &#8220;The parking lot keeps getting emptier.&#8221;
In Q1&nbsp;2025, Tesla sold 6,406 Cybertrucks, a 50% drop from the previous quarter. Although Elon Musk initially claimed that the vehicle had over a million reservations, fewer than 50,000 Cybertrucks have been delivered to date.
Tesla&#8217;s overall sales have also been declining, with Q1 delivery results showing&nbsp;a 13% decline from the&nbsp;same period in 2024. This decline coincides with increasing competition, protests outside showrooms, and a 40% drop in stock value year-to-date.
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/04/44779863/warren-buffetts-son-sold-his-berkshire-stock-inheritance-to-buy-something-infinitely-more-valuable-than-the-500-million-it-would-be-worth-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Warren Buffett&#8217;s Son Sold His Berkshire Stock Inheritance To Buy Something &#8216;Infinitely More Valuable&#8217; Than The $500 Million It Would Be Worth Today &#8211; Benzinga</a>
Why It Matters: Tesla has once again adjusted its Cybertruck production schedule, similar to changes made in December 2024. Back then, the company informed workers about schedule changes and asked for their role preferences. Workers were told at the time that Tesla intended to reduce Cybertruck production targets for the first quarter of 2025. Notably, in March, the EV maker announced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44414187/elon-musks-tesla-recalls-over-46000-cybertrucks-due-to-safety-concerns">recall of more </a>than 46,000 Cybertrucks in the U.S. due to a safety issue pertaining to the exterior panel.
The Cybertruck, a brainchild of Elon Musk, is being considered as one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44662021/is-tesla-cybertruck-the-biggest-automotive-blunder-in-decades-after-fords-edsel-its-a-huge-swing-and-a-huge-miss">biggest automotive flops </a>in decades according to experts. The vehicle fell short of Musk&#8217;s ambitious sales target by a whopping 84%, with no signs of recovery in sight.
Furthermore, Tesla is reportedly sitting on nearly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44670296/tesla-has-over-200-million-worth-of-cybertrucks-in-inventory-and-thats-raising-questions-about-demand-again"> 2,400 unsold</a> Cybertrucks worth $200 million in inventory across the U.S., which is approximately $200 million worth of inventory. The sticker shock from the base model&#8217;s price, coupled with frequent quality issues, has led to eroding trust in the vehicle.
Tesla has a momentum rating of 92.50% and a quality rating of 93.93%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

Tesla Reportedly Scales Back Cybertruck Production, Shifts Workers As Sales Plummet: 'The Parking Lot Keeps Getting Emptier'

Peter Thiel co-founded Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(PLTR) has signed a $29.8 million contract with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to enhance its immigration enforcement tools. This new deal is an expansion of an existing agreement and concentrates on tracking visa overstays and self-deportations through a system called ImmigrationOS.
What Happened: The contract, reviewed <a href="https://www.404media.co/ice-just-paid-palantir-tens-of-millions-for-complete-target-analysis-of-known-populations/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter">by</a> 404 Media, details a prototype of ImmigrationOS, a software suite created to streamline ICE's case management system.
The upgrade promises "near real-time visibility" into cases of self-deportation and promises to cover the "end-to-end immigration lifecycle," from identifying individuals to removal.
The system will also track visa overstays and share data with Customs and Border Protection for synchronized enforcement.

Why It Matters: These technological tools are being conceptualised in accordance with executive orders that define unauthorized immigration and transnational crime as national security threats.
According to ICE, the software will help prioritize enforcement against individuals highlighted for serious offenses, but also broadens scrutiny to civil immigration violations.
ICE stressed Palantir's decade-long role in building and maintaining these systems, pointing to the contractor&#8217;s compliance with DHS privacy and security standards.
Palantir, along with Elon Musk's SpaceX, may also be major players in President Donald Trump's proposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44861620/spacex-palantir-frontrunners-in-bid-that-could-build-donald-trumps-golden-dome-report">Golden Dome missile defense initiative</a>.
Delivery of the ImmigrationOS prototype is expected by Sept. 25.

Peter Thiel's Palantir Bags $30 Million Order From ICE For Immigrant Tracking System

In a recent dialogue with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook reportedly discussed the potential ramifications of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on iPhone prices.
What Happened: Cook held a discussion last week with the Commerce Secretary about the possible impact of the tariffs on iPhone prices. Cook also engaged in talks with other senior White House officials, according to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/04/17/apple-iphone-tariff-exemption-trump/">report</a> by The Washington Post. As a result of this conversation, the Trump administration has agreed to exempt Apple&#8217;s China-produced electronic products from import duties.
Despite the widespread criticism of President Donald Trump&#8216;s trade policies by numerous executives, Cook chose not to do so. By the end of the week, the Trump administration decided to exempt import duties on electronic products that Apple manufactures in China. This decision also benefited other major U.S. firms like HP Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>) and Dell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NASDAQ">DELL</a>).
Notably, the exemption was approved even though senior White House aide Peter Navarro had recommended keeping the taxes in place.
Wilbur Ross, former commerce secretary during Trump's first term, told the publication, &#8220;Tim has a very good relationship with the president and rightly so. He has been playing a very careful role in that he obviously has a huge dependency on China but is also hugely important to the U.S.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Apple shares climbed over 2% on Monday after Trump exempted tariffs on electronics on Friday and pushed the company's market cap back more than $3 trillion. After the exemption, Trump stated, "I helped Tim Cook, recently, and that whole business,&#8221; reported CNBC.
The Apple CEO also invested $500 billion in the U.S. in March for an AI push, boosting U.S. manufacturing tech after a discussion with President Trump.
Prior to this development, Apple had been preparing for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44781528/apples-preemptive-iphone-stockpile-could-disrupt-supply-chain-amid-looming-semiconductor-tariffs-warns-top-analyst-says-this-may-be-cupertinos-best-option-beyond-white-house-talks">potential impact </a>of tariffs on its supply chain. Top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had warned that Apple&#8217;s supply chain could face significant disruptions due to the tariffs.
Interestingly, Cook had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44783543/when-tim-cook-revealed-the-real-reason-iphones-are-made-in-chinaand-its-not-low-labor-costs-china-stopped-being-a-low-wage-country-years-ago">previously clarified</a> that Apple&#8217;s decision to manufacture its products in China was not due to low labor costs. In a 2024 video, Cook stated, &#8220;China stopped being a low labor cost company many years ago.&#8221; This tariff exemption will allow Apple to continue its manufacturing operations in China without the added cost of import duties.

Tim Cook's Talks With Commerce Secretary Lutnick Helped Apple Secure Tariff Exemption For iPhones: Report

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) reportedly manipulated odometer readings on its electric vehicles to avoid warranty repairs.
What Happened: A lawsuit filed by Nyree Hinton says that Tesla&#8217;s odometer readings are based on factors like energy consumption and predictive algorithms rather than actual mileage, leading to premature warranty expirations.
Hinton, the plaintiff, alleges her 2020 Model Y&#8217;s odometer ran at least 15% faster than expected, causing her warranty to expire prematurely, according to a report by Reuters.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Hinton, a Los Angeles resident, filed the lawsuit in a federal court in Los Angeles, seeking compensatory and punitive damages for Tesla drivers in California, potentially affecting over a million vehicles.
The complaint argues that Tesla&#8217;s practices increase repair revenue and force consumers to buy extended warranties earlier than necessary.

Why It Matters: This lawsuit is not the first legal challenge Tesla has faced. In September 2024, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed a lawsuit against Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, regarding alleged misrepresentations about the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41104861/elon-musk-tesla-win-dismissal-of-full-self-driving-claims-judge-tosses-lawsuit">Full-Self Driving (FSD) technology</a>.
The judge found that some of the statements were not false and others were related to future plans.
Earlier, in June 2024, Tesla faced a class-action lawsuit accusing the company of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39393674/tesla-to-face-lawsuit-for-alleged-monopoly-on-vehicle-repairs-and-parts">monopolizing the market for vehicle repairs</a> and parts.
The lawsuit alleged that Tesla coerced owners into paying high prices and enduring long waits for repairs, under the threat of losing warranty coverage.
Additionally, in April last year, Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook (now Meta), compared <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38474626/tesla-is-now-enron-folks-facebook-co-founder-claims-musks-ev-giant-is-cooking-up-some-fsd-data">Tesla&#8217;s situation to the infamous collapse of Enron</a>, expressing concerns about the company&#8217;s FSD data.

Elon Musk's Tesla Reportedly Manipulating Odometers To Dodge Warranty Repairs

White House Science and Technology Director Michael Kratsios made waves this week after claiming that the U.S. possesses technology that can "manipulate time and space.&#8221;
What Happened: Kratsios made the statement during a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/8716/">speech</a> at the Endless Frontiers tech retreat in Texas, where he advocated a renaissance of American innovation.
&#8220;Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity,&#8221; Kratsios said.
Kratsios mourned a downturn in technological advancement in comparison with the mid-20th century.
"A gap lies between our moment and the speed of transformation America experienced midcentury," he said.
He ascribed this &#8220;stagnation&#8221; to national choice rather than capability and said, "Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space."
While he did not specify which tools he was referring to, Kratsios did reference artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and semiconductors in the same address.

Why It Matters: The comments come as the Trump administration makes policy moves targeted at promoting the tech sector, including tariff exemptions for electronics like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44788262/apples-margins-catch-a-break-but-road-ahead-still-looks-bumpy">Apple&#8217;s iPhones</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44782569/trump-to-unveil-semiconductor-tariff-plan-this-week-signals-flexibility-on-tech-exemptions">semiconductor equipment</a>.
A new presidential <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-trump-brings-permitting-technology-into-the-21st-century-for-government-efficiency/">memo</a> released this week also instructs federal agencies to increase the use of emerging technologies in infrastructure.

Trump's Tech Chief Claims US Can 'Manipulate' Time And Space

On Wednesday, Sam Altman-led OpenAI launched Codex CLI, a new open-source coding agent, along with two AI reasoning models.
What Happened: The newly launched open-source coding agent is OpenAI's most notable open-source release since 2019.
The AI startup also unveiled the full-scale version of its "o3" model—described as its most advanced AI system to date—and a more compact, efficient variant known as "o4-mini."
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Altman said, "o3 and o4-mini are super good at coding, so we are releasing a new product, Codex CLI, to make them easier to use. This is a coding agent that runs on your computer. It is fully open source and available today; we expect it to rapidly improve."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Codex CLI is built to operate directly on a user's machine while connecting to the cloud to leverage the reasoning capabilities of its o3 and o4-mini models. Beyond generating code snippets, it can independently determine which tools to use locally to carry out tasks.
The company also noted that Codex CLI will soon support features from its recently released GPT-4.1 model.
To drive adoption, OpenAI has launched a $1 million grant program, offering selected developers $25,000 in API credits to build innovative projects using Codex CLI.
Moreover, according to OpenAI, training the o3 model required roughly ten times more computational resources than its earlier o1 model, previously considered its top performer in reasoning.

Why It's Important: This launch comes at a time when OpenAI faces mounting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/03/44474850/chinas-deepseek-ups-the-heat-in-openai-rivalry-upgrades-v3-model-improving-coding-and-reasoning-capability">pressure from competitors</a> such as China's DeepSeek, which in January launched its R1 model, an open-source AI, reportedly capable of mimicking OpenAI's advanced reasoning abilities.&nbsp;
In February, Anthropic also introduced a model capable of delivering both rapid, instinctive responses and more deliberate, step-by-step reasoning when necessary—a level of adaptive flexibility that OpenAI's models have yet to fully replicate.
Last month, 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 released its Gemini 2.5 Pro, a reasoning-focused model that outperformed OpenAI's o3-mini <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44487389/sundar-pichai-shows-off-googles-most-intelligent-ai-ever-with-a-dinosaur-video-game-that-even-you-could-make-with-a-simple-prompt">across several benchmark tests</a>.

Facing Heat From China's DeepSeek And US Rivals, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Launches Codex CLI: 'A Coding Agent That Runs On Your Computer'

The U.S. is on track to add almost four million manufacturing jobs by 2033—but Gen Z is not interested. While young workers are opting for trade careers, factory roles remain a hard sell.
What Happened: A Deloitte <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/manufacturing/supporting-us-manufacturing-growth-amid-workforce-challenges.html">study</a> projects 3.8 million new manufacturing jobs over the next decade, primarily due to retirements.
However, a Soter Analytics survey indicates that only 14% of Gen Z would consider working in factories. Instead, they are going for seemingly better-paying, flexible trades like plumbing and construction, according <a href="https://fortune.com/article/us-manufacturing-jobs-gen-z-baby-boomers-retirement-immigration/">to</a> Fortune.

Why It Matters: The gap between job openings and interest could mean that half of the roles will remain unfilled. Low pay—averaging $51,890 a year—as well as safety and flexibility concerns, are major turnoffs.
A 2024 Cato Institute survey revealed that while 80% of Americans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44880439/80-of-americans-say-the-country-would-be-better-off-with-more-manufacturing-jobs-but-only-25-want-one-themselves">support the idea</a> of increasing manufacturing jobs, only 25% said they'd opt for factory work themselves. Nearly three-quarters said they would not, and only 2% currently work in the sector.
Immigration, typically a major source of labor, is likely to be affected by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44789245/1-4-million-migrants-with-deportation-orders-could-be-facing-daily-fines-of-998-if-they-dont-leave-the-u-s">stricter regulations</a> under the Trump administration, which will put the sector under even more pressure.
As boomers retire over the next few years, the lack of Gen Z interest and reduced immigration could lead to a decline in the sector's growth. Without reinvention, the manufacturing boom may hit a wall.

Nearly 4 Million Manufacturing Jobs Are Opening As Boomers Retire—But Gen Z Is Not Interested

Pseudonymous personality Shytoshi Kusama shared details about the upcoming &#8220;Karma&#8221; system, set to be used as a trust identifier for anyone interacting with the Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) ecosystem.
What Happened:&nbsp;In an X post on Thursday, Kusama shared a recent podcast where they and Shadowhunter, a prominent developer within the ecosystem, discussed the mechanics and vision of the so-called Karma technology.
&#8220;As for me, Karma is something very crucial to our ecosystem. It&#8217;s going to be like an identity for trust,&#8221; Shadowhunter explained.
The developer said that Karma would assign a trust score to users based on their interactions with different products within the ecosystem, such as ShibaSwap and Metaverse. This score, he explained, would be tied to various aspects, primarily reflecting the credibility of users and their engagement with the platform.
&#8220;That trust score will be associated with a lot of things, but majorly shows how valued our users are,&#8221; Shadowhunter added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The concept of Karma, as Kusama described, was intriguing because it introduces a trust system in a supposedly trustless environment of blockchains.
&#8220;But as we know, we deal with so many scams and scammers in the system. Having a trust-based system to help understand who you are dealing with is very important,&#8221; Kusama said.
Kusama likened the idea to the seller rating system that online marketplace eBay Inc.&nbsp;uses to assist customers. 
&#8220;Overtime, it really helps you know who and what your likelihood of success will be,&#8221; the mysterious personality said. &#8220;I&#8217;m super excited to see it launch and see what the community would do with it.&#8221;

Shytoshi Kusama Introduces 'Karma' System To Assess Credibility Of Shiba Inu Users: 'We Deal With So Many Scams And Scammers'

President Donald Trump on Thursday indicated that the tariff impasse between the United States and China may be on the path to resolution, even as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44655624/trumps-tariff-hike-pushes-back-tiktok-us-deal-as-china-opposes-the-sale-extending-the-deadline-for-bytedances-divestment">proposed negotiation involving TikTok</a> hangs in the balance.
The remarks come amid signals that both countries are moving away from further economic escalation.
What Happened: Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said he may put a pause on increasing tariffs further, citing concerns about their effect on consumer behavior, Reuters reported.
"I may not want to go higher… because you want people to buy, and at a certain point, people aren&#8217;t gonna buy," he said.
Earlier, the president had imposed a <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44656680/trumps-10-tariff-on-most-imports-is-finally-here-taking-effect-saturday">10% tariff on most imports</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44740040/chinas-growth-outlook-dims-as-trumps-125-tariffs-put-millions-of-jobs-at-risk-goldman-warns">raised duties on Chinese goods to 145%</a> after retaliation from Beijing. However, the administration has since postponed additional increases, and Trump admitted that Chinese officials have been in contact.

Why It Matters: The likely pause in tariff escalation demonstrates a shift from the earlier aggressive approach that upset financial markets and damaged U.S.-China trade ties.
While Beijing said it would not match Washington "in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44856008/china-dismisses-trumps-tariff-numbers-game-files-wto-complaint-talks-can-only-proceed-based-on-mutual-respect">numbers game with tariffs</a>," Trump&#8217;s more restrained tone suggests room for negotiation.
On Thursday, President Trump also shared an update about TikTok. Although a deal exists for ByteDance to spin off TikTok's U.S. operations, Trump shared that the transaction is on hold. "It&#8217;ll be subject to China," he said, "so we'll just delay the deal ‘til this thing works out one way or the other."
With formal negotiations yet to gain momentum, the prospects for both trade relations and the TikTok deal remain unclear. Trump's comments suggest a preference for de-escalation, but progress may depend on how both countries navigate the next phase of talks.
TikTok recently announced that its U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44856624/tiktoks-us-policy-chief-steps-down-as-bidding-war-heats-up-after-trump-extends-deadline-report">public policy chief, Michael Beckerman</a>, is leaving his Washington-based role to transition to a global advisory position.

President Trump Hints At Cooling Tariff War With China, Says TikTok Divestment Will Be Postponed Until Trade Issues Are Settled

The Trump administration is implementing major staff cuts at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), letting nearly 90% of its staff go as part of a larger initiative to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44353947/trumps-cfpb-overhaul-leaves-consumers-exposed-heres-what-it-means-for-your-money">scale back</a> the agency's role in monitoring consumer financial protections.
What Happened: More than 1,500 CFPB employees are being sent reduction-in-force notices, bringing the agency's workforce down to just over 200, according to <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/cfpb-make-sweeping-job-cuts-trump-admin-refocuses-agency">a</a> Fox Business report.
The layoffs cover core operations, including supervision and enforcement roles. Internal communications obtained by The Wall Street Journal show a noticeable reduction in supervisory exams and a shift back to oversight of traditional banks and credit unions.

Why It Matters: The changes indicate a significant shift in the orientation of federal consumer protection strategy. "We're reallocating resources to address tangible consumer harm," wrote CFPB Chief Legal Officer Mark Paoletta in a memo to staff.
The agency will now focus on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/04/44774323/mortgage-rates-hit-7-1-as-bond-market-volatility-trade-tariffs-shake-markets">mortgage-related issues</a>, data mismanagement, and financial fraud, while stepping back from domains like medical debt, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44778031/she-was-29-months-from-erasing-247k-in-student-debt-now-her-forgiveness-is-frozen">student loans</a>, and digital payments. The CFPB also vowed to avoid "novel legal theories" and adhere to well-defined legal boundaries.
The CFPB's new direction highlights the Trump administration's wider push to limit regulatory reach and lower government intervention in financial markets.
With Jonathan McKernan's nomination to lead the agency still awaiting Senate confirmation, the bureau's future will likely continue to be molded by ongoing legal and political battles over its scope and authority.

Trump Administration To Lay Off Nearly 90% Of CFPB Employees In Major Downsizing: Report

Asset manager Cathie Wood hinted at her support for President Donald Trump&#8217;s trade and economic playbook by sharing an article on the destructive impact of tariffs, written by renowned supply-side economist Arthur Laffer.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Cathie Wood shared the article on X titled &#8220;The Truth About Tariffs And Trade.&#8221;
&#8220;Trusting President Trump will get this call right, [Arthur] Laffer just published an important article on the destructive impact of tariffs. The historical perspective—back to the 1920s—and the logic are the best I have seen,&#8221; she wrote.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Laffer starts by bluntly stating that tariffs are just taxes, but they are also far worse than taxes because they are charged on the gross value of the goods being shipped, as opposed to wages and profits.
He adds that imports and exports go together, saying that &#8220;if you tariff imports, you reduce the demand for imports, which, in turn, reduces the need for the proceeds from the sale of exports and thus reduces exports. Tariffs, therefore, reduce both imports and exports.&#8221;

Laffer&#8217;s article veers into several periods of U.S. economic history, going as far back as the American Revolution, to make his points on trade and tariffs. He says that the handful of years when the country had a trade surplus were all during periods of war when consumption dropped.
He says that a prolonged trade deficit is only possible with any country if that country invests in the U.S., referring to China, Japan, and other American trading partners using their surpluses to buy U.S. Treasuries and other assets.
He, however, counters the narrative that deficits &#8220;constitute an export of U.S. net worth,&#8221; stating that &#8220;U.S. wealth went up $40 trillion from 2008 to 2018,&#8221; while the cumulative trade deficit, that is, the increase in assets owned by foreigners during this period only increased $2.8 trillion. &#8220;Trade deficit periods are a win-win for Americans and foreigners,&#8221; he says.
The article ends by praising Trump&#8217;s economic policies during his first term, referring to the 2017 tax cuts, deregulations, and business-friendly policies that made the U.S. a magnet for foreign capital. Laffer also espoused his faith in the President&#8217;s negotiation style, saying that if Trump uses tariffs as leverage to lower global trade barriers, it would be an outcome that he would applaud.

Wood reiterated the same in a follow-up tweet, saying that &#8220;If negotiations lead to lower global tariffs and lower non-tariff trade barriers, investors shorting the equity market now will be caught flat-footed or worse. A global tax cut would be a very good thing.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Wood has come out in support of Trump several times in recent weeks, having said just a couple of days ago that <a href="https://benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44795609/cathie-wood-says-trumps-shock-therapy-tariff-policies-may-have-been-necessary">Trump&#8217;s shock therapy</a> &#8220;may have been necessary.&#8221;

However, others, such as Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) President Jonathan Gray, have warned that the longer this uncertainty continues, the greater the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44871428/blackstone-president-warns-of-recession-risk-tied-to-trumps-tariffs">risk of a recession</a>. &#8220;The recession risk is directly tied to the length of the uncertainty,&#8221; Gray said. 
The CEO of JPMorgan &amp; Chase Co.

Dimon urged Trump last week to &#8220;take a deep breath, negotiate some trade deals,&#8221; adding that &#8220;it could get worse if we don't make progress.&#8221;

Cathie Wood Says She's Trusting Trump Will Get Call On Tariffs Right: 'Investors Shorting The Equity Market Now Will Be Caught Flat Footed Or Worse'

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) remains optimistic despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. CEO CC Wei stated that customer behavior has not changed, even amid recent challenges such as the Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44844084/nvidias-h20-chip-ban-could-lead-to-manageable-sales-drop-bank-of-america-says">chip facing clamdown</a> and tariff-related uncertainties.
What Happened: During <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44857887/taiwan-semiconductor-q1-surges-41-in-sales-boosted-by-ai-chip-demand-expanded-margins">TSMC&#8217;s first-quarter earnings</a> call on Thursday, Bruce Lu from Goldman Sachs asked about how ongoing geopolitical risks, such as the restrictions on Nvidia's H20, are affecting TSMC&#8217;s business.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Nvidia was notified by the Donald Trump administration on April 9 that selling its H20 chip to China would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44846329/nvidias-china-sales-face-setback-as-h20-chip-restrictions-catch-key-buyers-off-guard-reuters">now require an export license</a>.&nbsp;
&#8220;We do not comment on specific customer product, but let me assure you that we have taken this into consideration when providing our full-year growth outlook,&#8221; TSMC CEO Wei responded to the concern raised by Lu.
Bruce then asked for more specific information, wondering how much flexibility TSMC has in their production planning and how well they can handle these potential challenges.
Wei reassured him that, while there&#8217;s a lot of speculation around the situation, TSMC is closely monitoring the impact of these risks, especially the new tariffs.
However, they haven&#8217;t seen any change in how their customers are behaving, meaning they&#8217;re still moving forward with their planned business forecast as expected.
&#8220;We have not seen any change in our customers&#8217; behavior so far. And so we stick to our forecast,&#8221; he concluded.

Why It's Important: TSMC, a key supplier of chips for Nvidia's GPUs and Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones, reported first-quarter net sales of $25.53 billion (NT$839.25 billion), marking a 41.6% increase year-over-year and surpassing analysts' expectations of $23.92 billion.
However, sales were down 3.4% compared to the previous quarter.
For the second quarter of 2025, the company expects revenue to range between $28.4 billion and $29.2 billion, ahead of the $26.79 billion consensus estimate. It also projects a gross margin of 57% to 59% and operating margins between 47% and 49%.
The geopolitical landscape has been turbulent, with President Trump previously threatening <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44704930/trump-says-he-warned-tsmc-of-100-tariff-if-it-doesnt-manufacture-in-us-these-chip-companies-are-loaded">tariffs up to 100% on TSMC</a> if it does not manufacture in the U.S.
Meanwhile, China&#8217;s new rule reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44777482/trump-tariff-wars-chinas-new-rule-to-exempt-nvidia-qualcomm-and-others-from-levies-but-these-chip-companies-will-be-hit-with-125-tariffs">exempts chips designed</a> by U.S. companies but manufactured in Taiwan from its 125% retaliatory tariffs. This rule has also exempted TSMC.
Price Action: TSMC shares edged up 0.046% on Thursday and added another 0.29% in after-hours trading, reaching $152.19. Despite the recent uptick, the stock remains down 24.72% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The chipmaker currently holds a strong growth score of 81.99%, as per Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares</a> with other top names in the semiconductor industry.

TSMC Confident Amid Trump Tariff Turmoil: CEO CC Wei Says No Change In Customer Behavior Despite Nvidia H20 Chip Curbs

A cryptocurrency project inspired by scientific great Isaac Newton has quietly made waves this year, with its native coin's year-to-date explosion leaving reputable names far behind.
What happened: AB (AB), formerly Newton Project (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">NEW</a>), has skyrocketed 7602% year-to-date to become the cryptocurrency market's most successful token in 2025.
The disparity in gains between AB and the rest of the market was staggering. Onyxcoin (XCN), the second-highest gainer this year, returned 676%, which is a fraction of what AB achieved.

Launched in 2018, the Newton Project is a decentralized and interoperable blockchain ecosystem, aiming to bridge the gap between digital and real-world economies.
However, the project fizzled after the initial hype and went into a multi-year hiatus, during which it also hit an all-time low.
In February, the Newton Project rebranded as AB, with a native gas token and a decentralized autonomous organization. The new avatar seems to have worked wonders for the project, sending its cryptocurrency to unprecedented highs. The AB token peaked at $0.01729 last month.

The stupendous rally contrasted with the broader cryptocurrency slump in 2025. The total market capitalization has shrunk 18% year-to-date, with nearly $590 billion worth of investors' wealth wiped out.
Major cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), were down 9.18% and 52% year to date, respectively.

Isaac Newton-inspired Crypto Defies Gravity, Soars 7600% Since The Year Began

The Donald Trump administration has announced exemptions for domestic exporters and vessel owners from port fees on China-built ships, aimed at bolstering the U.S. shipbuilding industry and countering China&#8217;s maritime influence
What Happened: According to a Reuters report, the Trump administration declared on Thursday that domestic exporters and vessel owners operating in the Great Lakes, the Caribbean, and U.S. territories will be exempt from port fees on China-built vessels.
The U.S. Trade Representative&#8217;s notice, published in the Federal Register, revised a February proposal that initially suggested fees up to $1.5 million per port call on China-built ships.
This proposal had raised concerns among global shipping executives about potential impacts on U.S. export prices and consumer costs.
Jamieson Greer, U.S. Trade Representative, stated, &#8220;Ships and shipping are vital to American economic security and the free flow of commerce.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44880439/80-of-americans-say-the-country-would-be-better-off-with-more-manufacturing-jobs-but-only-25-want-one-themselves">80% Of Americans Say The Country Would Be Better Off With More Manufacturing Jobs—But Only 25% Want One Themselves</a>
Exemptions include ships ferrying goods between domestic ports, to Caribbean islands, and U.S. territories. U.S.-based carriers like Matson Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MATX#NYSE">MATX</a>) and Seaboard Marine will avoid the fees, as will empty ships arriving to load exports.
The levies will be implemented in 180 days, starting October 14, with fees based on net tonnage or container count.
Why It Matters: The decision to exempt domestic shippers from port fees is part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to revitalize the U.S. shipbuilding industry.
As reported in March, Trump is preparing an executive order with 18 measures aimed at <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44136076/trump-reportedly-plans-executive-order-to-boost-us-shipbuilding-and-counter-chinas-maritime-lead">boosting the American maritime sector</a> and countering China&#8217;s dominance.
This move comes amid escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Recent reports indicate that China has significantly <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44860334/china-cuts-us-oil-purchases-by-90-boosts-imports-from-canada-to-new-heights">reduced its oil imports from the U.S.</a> while increasing imports from Canada. Additionally, fears of <a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44868280/us-listed-chinese-stocks-face-250-billion-forced-selling-risk-as-delisting-fears-emerge-what-investors-need-to-know">delisting U.S.-listed Chinese stocks</a> have emerged due to geopolitical frictions.
President Trump has emphasized the <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44832771/the-ball-is-in-chinas-court-trump-says-as-white-house-awaits-beijings-call-china-needs-to-make-a-deal-with-us">need for China to initiate negotiations</a>, stating that the &#8220;ball is in China&#8217;s court&#8221;.

Trump Admin Exempts US Exporters From China-Built Ship Fees Amid Industry Pushback

Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) CEO Lip-Bu Tan has reportedly unveiled a significant leadership shakeup, aiming to streamline the company's operations and put artificial intelligence at the forefront of its strategy.
What Happened: In an internal memo, Tan announced that key chip groups within Intel, including the data center, AI, and personal computer chip divisions, will now report directly to him, reported Reuters.
Tan also appointed Sachin Katti, the company's networking chip chief, as the new Chief Technology and AI Officer, tasking him with overseeing Intel&#8217;s AI strategy and product roadmap.
"I want to roll up my sleeves with the engineering and product teams so I can learn what's needed to strengthen our solutions," Tan wrote in the memo.

He also criticized Intel's previous bureaucratic culture.
&#8220;It's clear to me that organizational complexity and bureaucratic processes have been slowly suffocating the culture of innovation we need to win,&#8221; he said in the memo, adding, &#8220;It takes too long to make decisions. New ideas are not given room or resources to incubate. And unnecessary silos lead to inefficient execution.&#8221;
Why It's Important: The leadership reshuffle comes as Intel faces <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44469986/intel-targets-major-foundry-clients-in-new-strategy-to-revitalize-chip-design-says-ubs">mounting pressure from competitors</a>, particularly Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which has solidified its dominance in the AI chip market.
Tan, who took over as CEO last month, previously also shared the idea about revamping Intel&#8217;s operations and leadership while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44555938/intels-new-ceo-refuses-to-sugarcoat-the-companys-2024-performance-vows-to-align-spending-with-market-demand">refusing to sugarcoat </a>the company&#8217;s past performance.
Intel also faces new challenges with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44855693/intel-stock-down-nearly-47-in-the-past-year-reportedly-joins-nvidia-in-facing-export-hurdles-to-china-as-us-implements-new-ai-chip-licensing-requirements">U.S. imposing licensing requirements</a> on AI chip exports to China, similar to those faced by Nvidia.
Price Action: Intel&#8217;s stock slipped 1.56% on Thursday, extending a broader decline that has seen shares tumble 46.95% over the past year. So far in 2025, the chipmaker is down 6.38%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Intel currently holds a growth score of 3.56% based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> other leading players in the semiconductor space.

Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) sustained its upward momentum Thursday overnight, as cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) scaled up its infrastructure to support faster, smoother SOL transactions.
What happened: SOL rose over 3% over the previous day, becoming the most successful among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The rally came despite a 20% drop in trading volumes in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
The sixth-largest cryptocurrency hit an intraday high of $135.91, its highest in nearly three weeks. Its weekly gains widened to 18.13%, outpacing Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).

매주, 벤징가의 스톡 위스퍼 지수(Benzinga's Stock Whisper Index)는 독점 데이터(proprietary data)와 패턴 인식의 조합을 사용하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-whisper-index" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">표면 바로 아래에서 주목</a>을 받을 만한 주식 5종목을 소개한다.
투자자들은 가치가 저평가된, 관심이 적은, 새로운 주식들을 항상 찾고 있다. 소매 거래자들이 사용할 수 있는 방법은 무수히 많기 때문에 새로운 기회를 발견하고 특정 주식이 관심을 가져야 하는 이유를 이해하기 위해 풍부한 정보를 조사하는 것이 어려운 경우가 많다.

다음은 1월 31일로 끝나는 주간의 벤징가 ‘스톡 위스퍼' 지수의 개요:
퍼시픽 가스 &amp; 일렉트릭(PG&amp;E) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>):
이 유틸리티 회사는 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았으며, 이는 4분기 재무 결과가 다가오고 있기 때문이다. 이 회사는 2월 13일에 4분기 실적을 발표할 예정이다. 분석가들은 <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013125&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이 회사</a>가 주당 31센트의 순이익을 발표할 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 이는 전년 4분기 47센트에서 하락한 수치이다. 매출은 71억 1천만 달러로 전년 동기 70억 4천만 달러에서 증가할 것으로 보인다. 이 회사는 4분기 연속으로 분석가의 주당 순이익 추정치를 초과했다. 매출 측면에서는 최근 10분기 중 4분기만 분석가 추정을 초과했다. 여러 분석가들은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PCG/analyst-ratings">주식에 대해 긍정적인 평가를 유지 </a>하면서 목표 주가를 하향 조정했다.
주가는 이번 주에 4.86% 하락했으며, 주가는 지난 1년 동안 8.59% 하락했다.

UBS는 매수 등급을 유지하고 목표 주가를 225달러에서 265달러로 상향 조정했다. 인터랙티브 브로커스는 또한 2월 10일 UBS 금융 서비스 컨퍼런스에서 발표할 예정이다. 골드만삭스의 애널리스트 제임스 야로(James Yaro)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43132552/interactive-brokers-delivers-well-rounded-earnings-beat-analysts-see-global-retail-trading-growth-ahead">매수 등급을 유지하고</a> 목표 주가를 214달러에서 226달러로 상향 조정했다. 이 애널리스트는 인터랙티브 브로커스의 4분기 재무 결과가 회사의 &#8220;균형 잡힌&#8221; 상태임을 보여주었다고 말했다.

머큐리 시스템즈 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRCY#NASDAQ">MRCY</a>):
이 항공우주 및 방산 주식은 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았으며, 이는 2월 4일로 예정된 2분기 재무 결과를 앞두고 있다. 분석가들은 이 회사가 주당 4센트의 손실과 1억 8,240만 달러의 매출을 발표할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 지난 분기들에서 어려움을 겪은 후, 이 회사는 최근 두 분기 연속으로 분석가의 매출 및 주당 순이익 추정치를 초과했다. 주식은 이 회사가 <a href="https://ir.mrcy.com/news-releases/news-release-details/mercury-develop-data-processing-subsystem-us-satellite-program">미국 위성 프로그램을 위한 데이터 처리 계약 2,450만 달러를 수주했다고 발표한 후</a> 독자들로부터 관심이 증가했을 수 있다.
&#8220;우리는 이 중요한 미국 국가안보 임무를 지원하게 되어 자랑스럽다&#8221;라고 머큐리 시스템즈의 고급 개념 그룹 부사장인 조 플런켓(Joe Plunkett)가 말했다. &#8220;머큐리 프로세싱 플랫폼(Mercury Processing Platform)은 미션 크리티컬한 처리 지원을 위한 무한한 방식으로 통합될 수 있는 놀라운 폭의 기능을 가지고 있다.&#8221;

조메트리 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XMTR#NASDAQ">XMTR</a>):
이 인공지능(AI) 기반 제조 회사는 이번 주에 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았다. 이 관심은 최근 몇 주 동안 몇 명의 분석가들이 소형주에 대해 업데이트를 공유하고, 새로운 임원 발표와 함께 발생했다. 이 회사는 산지브 싱 사니(Sanjeev Singh Sahni), 전 웨이페어(Wayfair) 임원을 신설된 사장직으로 영입했다. 이 역할에서 사니는 글로벌 운영, 제품, 기술 및 공급업체 서비스를 이끌게 된다.

벤징가의 '스톡 위스퍼' 지수: PG&E, 인터랙티브 브로커스, 머큐리 시스템즈, 조메트리 및 코스트코

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">시장 변화</a>에 있어서 JP모건의 분석가인 코리 카펜터(Cory Carpenter)는 테이크투 인터랙티브 소프트웨어(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>)와 조메트리(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XMTR#NASDAQ">XMTR</a>)에 투자할 것을 추천하고 있다.
테이크투는 목표 주가가 225달러로 22%의 상승 여력을 가지고 있으며, 2025년에는 게임 시장을 지배할 것으로 예상된다. 한편, 조메트리는 목표 주가가 45달러로 23%의 상승 여력을 가지고 있으며, 제조 르네상스의 혜택을 누릴 준비가 되어 있다.
이 두 종목은 각자의 분야에서 투자자들의 주목을 받을 준비가 되어 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">테이크투의 차세대 게임 혁명</h2>
카펜터는 테이크투 인터랙티브를 2025년 최고의 비디오 게임 주식으로 선정하고, 이 퍼블리셔의 최강 게임 라인업을 강조한다. 2025년 가을 출시 예정인 GTA 6가 주도하고, 보더랜드 4, 시빌라이제이션 7 및 마피아: 올드 컨트리와 같은 주요 타이틀이 뒤따른다.
&#8220;우리는 GTA VI — 역사상 가장 기대되는 비디오 게임 중 하나 —가 2025년 TTWO 주가 성과의 주요 동력이 될 것으로 예상한다&#8221;고 카펜터가 말했다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/12/42421928/how-gta-6-is-shaping-the-video-game-industry-even-before-its-release">GTA 6가 출시 전에도 비디오 게임 산업을 어떻게 형성하고 있는가</a>
두 번째 GTA 6 예고편은 출시 전 홍보 사이클을 촉발할 것으로 예상되며, 게임 사전 주문과 게임 플레이 미리 보기가 뒤따를 것이다. 투자자의 기대감이 이미 고조된 상황에서도, 카펜터는 테이크투가 시장 예측을 초과하는 역사를 가지고 있다고 강조하며, &#8220;TTWO는 RDR 2와 GTA V와 같은 주요 타이틀 출시에서 기대 이상으로 성과를 거두었다&#8221;고 언급했다.
잠재적인 장애물은 출시 지연이나 보수적인 2026 회계연도 재무 가이드라인이다. 그러나 강력한 모바일 전략과 2027 회계연도까지 30개 이상의 계획된 타이틀을 갖춘 테이크투는 장기적인 성공을 위한 준비가 되어 있다고 카펜터가 보고 있으며, 2026 회계연도의 예약 매출 성장을 46%로 예상한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">조메트리의 제조업 상승 가능성</h2>
산업 부문에서 조메트리는 JP모건의 인터넷 소형주 최애주로 우뚝 서 있다. 이 회사는 맞춤형 제조 시장을 지배하고 있으며, 불안정한 제조 환경과 수익성 목표 지연을 겪었음에도 불구하고 강한 입지를 유지하고 있다. 카펜터는 &#8220;우리는 제조업이 트럼프 하에서 부각될 것으로 보이는 2025년 XMTR을 선호한다&#8221;고 설명하며, 잠재적인 관세와 공급망 불확실성이 시장 점유율 상승을 가속화할 수 있다고 언급했다.
거시경제 개선이 없더라도 조메트리는 2025년 매출 성장률이 19%로 가속화될 것으로 기대된다. 카펜터는 즉시 견적 제공 및 국제 확장과 같은 회사 특유의 이니셔티브가 주요 촉매제라고 강조한다. 잠재적인 제조업 축소와 가치 평가 문제는 위험 요소이지만, 카펜터는 &#8220;2025년의 여러 가지 &#8216;승리 방법&#8217;이 있다&#8221;고 낙관적으로 보고 있다.
가상 세계에서의 혼란에서 실제 제조로의 전환까지, JP모건의 2025년 최고의 선택이 게임 팬들과 산업 관계자들을 모두 흥분시키고 있다. 테이크투가 블록버스터 출시로 게임을 재정의하든, 조메트리가 제조 혁신을 선도하든, JP모건의 2025년 최고의 선택은 역동적인 성장과 매력적인 시장 내러티브를 약속한다.
주가 움직임: 테이크투의 주식은 금요일 2.79% 하락한 178.61달러에 마감되었다. 조메트리는 8.21% 하락한 33.54달러에 마감되었다.
