Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama hinted at a major partnership announcement for the blockchain ecosystem on Tuesday, stirring up excitement among enthusiasts.
What Happened: Kusama took to X to tease an upcoming &#8220;extremely powerful partnership announcement,&#8221; which appeared to have significant implications for the entire project, including the meme coin SHIB.
The pseudonymous figure offered to discuss the partnership in detail with influencers and those willing to know about it.

The post fueled conjectures, with theories ranging from a possible collaboration with cryptocurrency exchange Binance to social media giant X, which is controlled by Elon Musk.

Shiba Inu's Shytoshi Kusama Teases 'Extremely Powerful Partnership' — Coin Themed On Him Rallies 25%

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades involving Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest made a decisive move on Tuesday by selling 2,772 shares of Tesla Inc. through its ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>). The sale, valued at approximately $1.1 million based on Tesla&#8217;s closing price of $398.09, comes ahead of Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/01/43285246/teslas-q4-earnings-looms-can-the-stock-keep-its-rally-alive">anticipated fourth-quarter earnings report</a>. Investors are keenly observing Tesla&#8217;s performance, especially with CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s ambitious promise of a 30% sales increase in 2025. Despite a remarkable 106.68% rise over the past year, Tesla&#8217;s stock has seen a slight decline of 1.41% year-to-date. The market remains cautious, with Wall Street expressing skepticism about Tesla&#8217;s growth projections.
The Amazon Trade
On the same day, Ark Invest increased its stake in Amazon.com Inc. by purchasing 41,338 shares through ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) and ARKW. This acquisition, totaling approximately $9.8 million, is based on Amazon&#8217;s closing price of $238.15. Notably, Ark had purchased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43256648/cathie-wood-swoops-in-to-buy-amd-shares-amid-deepseek-tech-upheaval-dumps-tesla-stock-worth-8-1-million">$1.76 million worth of Amazon shares</a> just a day prior. The Amazon stock purchases has been a continuing trend with the Wood-led firm adding another $8.9 million worth of shares in early January.

Cathie Wood Dumps Tesla Stock Ahead Of Q4 Earnings, Ark Invest Loads Up On Amazon

On Tuesday, the White House said the National Security Council is reviewing the implications of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI firm.&nbsp;
What Happened: The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the development stating, &#8220;This is a wake-up call to the American AI industry,&#8221; reported Reuters.
She echoed President Donald Trump&#8217;s earlier remarks, saying that the White House remained committed to securing America&#8217;s leadership in AI innovation.
The review comes amid fears of intellectual property theft, a concern raised by David Sacks, the White House&#8217;s AI and crypto czar.

In a Fox News interview on Monday, Sacks highlighted the AI technique known as distillation, where one model learns from another, as a potential threat.
&#8220;I think one of the things you&#8217;re going to see over the next few months is our leading AI companies taking steps to try and prevent distillation &#8230; That would definitely slow down some of these copycat models,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: Earlier, veteran investor Ross Gerber also criticized DeepSeek&#8217;s privacy policy, stating that user data might be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43258810/ross-gerber-slams-deepseeks-privacy-policy-as-the-chinese-ai-models-rise-triggers-market-chaos-i-dont-trust-a-thing-china-does">stored on servers in China</a>.

In response to the competitive threat posed by DeepSeek, OpenAI has also launched a specialized version of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43271935/openai-launches-chatgpt-gov-for-us-agencies-as-deepseek-threat-heats-up-ai-race">ChatGPT for U.S. government</a> agencies.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez spotted a sell signal on Bitcoin's hourly chart, using the TD Sequential indicator.
"Bitcoin could retest recent lows around $99,000. A rebound may follow, supported by a dovish outlook from the Fed tomorrow," Martinez predicted.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Dip As Stocks Rebound: Top Trader Anticipates BTC's Fall To $99,000 But A 'Dovish' Fed Could Spark Recovery

Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) planned $30,000 electric vehicle could disappoint investors if it fails to introduce a new compact form factor, according to prominent Tesla bull Gary Black, managing partner of The Future Fund LLC.
What Happened: Black warned on social media platform X that simply releasing a scaled-down version of existing Models 3 or Y could lead to significant cannibalization of Tesla&#8217;s current lineup. This could prompt Wall Street analysts to lower their 2025 delivery growth estimates, currently projected at 16% year-over-year.
&#8220;A Tesla&#8217;s new $30-$35K car may be a nothing burger if Tesla doesn't introduce a new form factor to extend TSLA's franchise into the compact category,&#8221; Black wrote. 
The caution comes ahead of Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43289930/tesla-q4-earnings-preview-2025-delivery-growth-fsd-model-y-refresh-new-vehicles-among-key-topics">fourth-quarter earnings report </a>due Wednesday, where investors eagerly await details about the company&#8217;s new affordable EV expected to be unveiled in the first half of 2025.
&#8220;Much depends on whether the new $30K-$35K Tesla vehicle extends Tesla&#8217;s TAM to the compact category, which represents 15% of global volume,&#8221; Black wrote, highlighting the significance of targeting a new market segment rather than just offering cheaper variants of existing models.

A federal judge in the District of Columbia on Tuesday afternoon temporarily blocked an executive order given by President Donald Trump that imposed a freeze of all federal grants and loans, putting $3 trillion in funding in jeopardy and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43290381/trumps-federal-spending-freeze-puts-3-trillion-in-limbo-threatens-industries-like-clean-energy-defense-healthcare">entire industries on edge.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: According to a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/us/politics/trump-funding-freeze-blocked.html">report</a>, Judge Loren AliKhan blocked the order late Tuesday afternoon in response to a lawsuit filed by Democracy Forward. The lawsuit argued the directive violated the First Amendment and the Administrative Procedures Act governing the issuance of executive orders. 
Judge AliKhan said she will issue a more permanent decision on Feb. 3

Skye Perryman, Democracy Forward's president and chief executive, commented on the judge's decision in a statement.&nbsp;
"We are grateful for this administrative stay to allow our clients time to sort through the chaos created by the Trump administration's hasty and ill-advised actions," Perryman said, per the New York Times. 
Trump's directive, issued Monday by the Office of Management and Budget, required federal agencies to halt disbursements while programs were reviewed for alignment with Trump administration policies and was slated to go into effect on Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET.&nbsp;
But, early Tuesday, state Medicaid programs reported the federal reimbursement portals had been locked. State officials said funding for community health centers, food for families, housing assistance, preschools and disaster relief was in limbo.
According to the New York Times, the White House and OMB said on Tuesday afternoon the funding freeze did "not apply across-the-board" and affected programs on D.E.I. efforts and funding for organizations "that undermine the national interest."
Stocks To Watch: It remains unclear exactly which industries could be affected by Trump's order or if the judge will elect to block it permanently on Feb 3.&nbsp;
However, Medicaid funding had reportedly been stopped at least temporarily. HCA Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>) and Universal Health Services Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UHS#NYSE">UHS</a>) stocks fell on Tuesday. 
Large defense contractors like RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) also face a growing degree of uncertainty regarding government funding and contracts.
Green industries including solar energy could also be on the chopping block for federal funding due to Trump administration policies. Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOVA#NYSE">NOVA</a>) dropped 12% Tuesday and Sunrun, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) fell 9.2% amid the uncertainty on future policy changes.

Judge Blocks Trump's Order To Freeze Federal Grant Money

Sen. Bernie Sanders pulled no punches when critiquing Donald Trump&#8217;s recent inaugural address, calling out the former president for failing to address key issues affecting working families in America. In a <a href="https://x.com/SenSanders/status/1881826224819114315">video</a> posted after the event, Sanders expressed his frustration with Trump&#8217;s speech, saying it ignored the real challenges millions of Americans face every day, adding, &#8220;How crazy is that?&#8221;
&#8220;I was at the Trump inauguration yesterday and needless to say, I disagree with much of what he had to say. But what really struck me, however, is not what he said, which was not surprising given his rhetoric, but what he didn't say,&#8221; Sanders stated.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sanders: Trump Ignored Healthcare, Housing and Inequality</h2>
One of Sanders&#8217; main points of contention was Trump's complete omission of the health care<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/health-care/24/04/38378856/90-of-americans-believe-we-are-experiencing-a-mental-health-care-crisis-elevate-health-and-we"> crisis</a>. Sanders emphasized that millions of Americans struggle to afford basic medical care while prescription drug prices remain astronomically high.
&#8220;Our health care system is broken, is dysfunctional and it's wildly expensive,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Not one word from Trump about how he is going to address the health care crisis. We pay by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs, sometimes 10 times more than the people in other countries. Not one word in his speech on the high cost of prescription drugs.&#8221;

Sanders also highlighted the growing housing crisis in America, where millions are either homeless or spending the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41811635/rent-soars-pay-lags-why-millions-are-working-50-hours-just-to-afford-housing-according-to-new-report">majority of their income</a> just to keep a roof over their heads. &#8220;We have a major housing crisis in America. Everybody knows it. And Trump, in his inaugural address, did not devote one word to it,&#8221; Sanders pointed out.
However, Trump did mention in his speech that he would direct all members of his cabinet to &#8220;marshal the vast powers at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring down costs and prices.&#8221; He also mentioned that the inflation crisis was &#8220;caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices,&#8221; and that&#8217;s why he would &#8220;also declare a national energy emergency.&#8221;
Trending: They're saying this is the biggest breakthrough in Next-Gen Tech since the iPhone. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/elf-labs-1">There&#8217;s now a limited window for investors to claim shares at just $2/share with $980 minimum—but the clock is ticking.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Income Inequality and Climate Change Also Missing</h2>
According to Sanders, another glaring omission was any mention of income inequality. He noted that the wealthiest three Americans now hold more wealth than the bottom half of the population combined. &#8220;The wealthiest three people in America now own more wealth than the bottom half of our society.&#8221;
Sanders took particular issue with the fact that these <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43078874/elon-musk-jeff-bezos-mark-zuckerberg-among-those-in-race-to-become-first-trillionaires-oxfam-warns-of-growing-wealth-inequality">three billionaires saw their wealth grow</a> by $233 billion since the November elections. &#8220;No wonder they were sitting right behind Donald Trump at his inauguration. They couldn't be happier,&#8221; he added.
Sanders also criticized Trump for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43087966/trump-signs-orders-to-take-us-out-of-paris-climate-agreement-calls-the-deal-one-sided-and-unfair">ignoring the climate crisis</a>, despite the worsening impact of extreme weather events worldwide. &#8220;Trump did not have one word to say about how we're going to address the planetary crisis of climate change. The last 10 years have been the warmest years ever recorded,&#8221; Sanders said, "except, of course, to make it clear that he intends to make this horrific situation even worse with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43097430/trumps-drill-baby-drill-era-begins-oil-prices-tumble-us-energy-stocks-edge-up">drill, baby, drill</a>. Just brilliant."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Call to Action</h2>
Sanders urged Americans to remain focused on the issues that truly matter to working families, including health care, affordable housing, climate change and income inequality. &#8220;Our job is to stay focused on the issues that are of importance to the working families of our country and in fact are widely supported by the American people,&#8221; he said.
He reiterated his long-standing policy proposals, including Medicare for All, lowering prescription drug costs, building affordable housing, and raising the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour. &#8220;Anybody who works 40 hours a week in this country should not be living in poverty,&#8221; Sanders stated firmly.
Sanders ended his remarks with a rallying cry for action, emphasizing the need for unity and grassroots organizing to counter Trump's agenda. &#8220;We cannot panic. No matter how many executive orders he signs and no matter how many absurd statements he makes, our goal remains the same. We have got to educate, we have got to organize, and we've got to put pressure on Congress to do the right things,&#8221; he said.

'How Crazy Is That,' Says Bernie Sanders, Condemning Trump For 'Ignoring' Working Families' Issues In His Inauguration Speech

Donald Trump's first week in the Oval Office proved to be a blockbuster one for the markets. The S&amp;P 500 surged 1.7%, delivering its best first-week performance under a new presidency since Ronald Reagan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43122112/us-stocks-likely-to-open-higher-as-president-trump-announces-500-billion-ai-project-oracle-netflix-nvidia-among-stocks-in-focus">took office in 1985</a>.
On Monday, Jan. 27, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43244872/tech-stocks-tumble-on-ai-nightmare-nvidia-eyes-worst-day-since-march-2020-bitcoin-drops-below-100000-whats-driving-markets-monday">tech stocks plummeted</a>.

Whether this market trajectory will deplete or restore optimism around the corporate earnings season remains to be seen. In the meantime, here&#8217;s a look at three exchange-traded funds that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">mirror the S&amp;P 500 Index</a>.
<ul>
<li>The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) holds 504 stocks across multiple sectors, including information technology, financials, consumer discretionary, and health care. With an AUM of $549.97 billion, SPY charges 0.09% in annual expense fees.</li>
<li>The Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), which comes with an expense ratio of a meager 0.02%, holds 505 stocks, and manages assets worth $472 billion.</li>
<li>iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>), another popular choice, offers similar sector allocations and has an expense ratio of 0.03%.</li>
<li>Both VOO and IVV saw gains in line with SPY, as their diversified portfolios factored in the week's broader market rally.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Moved The Markets?</h1>
Investors welcomed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/43219264/trumps-tariff-plans-ignite-market-rally-pushing-stocks-to-record-highs">Trump's proposal to cut the corporate tax rate</a> from 21% to 15%, expecting the move would drive business growth and investment within the U.S.
Trump also proposed raising taxes on businesses outside of the U.S., a move he said could bring "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43170854/trump-outlines-economic-reset-at-davos-5-things-you-need-to-know">hundreds of billions, even trillions" of dollars</a> into the economy and boost domestic manufacturing and job creation. Trump also focused on energy, urging OPEC to boost production and lower prices, while signing executive orders to expand U.S. oil and gas production. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/43135764/trumps-500-billion-stargate-ai-plan-puts-3-etfs-in-focus">Stargate AI Infrastructure Project </a>was also introduced, which, backed by OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), plans to invest up to $500 billion in building AI infrastructure across the U.S., with an initial commitment of $100 billion. This project has the potential to create 100,000 jobs, Trump said.
A strong start to the corporate earnings season also played a big role in the rally.
But on Monday, U.S. tech stocks plunged as word spread of China&#8217;s DeepSeek R1, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-to-benefit">shaking investor confidence</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Stocks That Powered The ETFs</h1>

3 ETFs Shine As Trump's First Week Sparks Record Gains Followed By Tech Slump

A new Benzinga reader poll shows a mixed opinion on whether users are headed for the exits of social media platforms in the months since the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
While many users are staying on social media platforms, here's a look at which companies could be most impacted.
 What Happened: A recent email from X owner Elon Musk to his staff suggested the social media platform he paid $44 billion for might be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43204045/elon-musk-says-x-user-growth-is-stagnant-banks-who-financed-acquisition-selling-debt-at-10-discount">seeing slower growth</a> in the months since the 2024 election, which was won by Donald Trump. 
"Our user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we're barely breaking even," Musk said in the email.
The email comes months after Musk highlighted the record usage X saw during the presidential election.
"Over the last few months, we've witnessed the power of X in shaping the national conversations and outcomes. We are also seeing other platforms begin to adopt our commitment to free speech and unbiased truth," Musk also said in the email.
Benzinga recently asked readers if they were considering leaving social media platforms.
"Do you plan to stop using any of these social media platforms in the wake of the 2024 presidential election?" Benzinga asked.
Here are the results:
<ul>
<li>I don't plan to stop using any platforms: 53%</li>
<li>X (formerly Twitter): 18%</li>
<li>TikTok: 11%</li>
<li>Facebook: 8%</li>
<li>Instagram: 5%</li>
<li>Reddit: 3%</li>
<li>Snapchat: 2%</li>
</ul>
The poll found the majority wasen't leaving any of the mentioned social media platforms in the wake of the election won by Trump.
The company leading the platform votes was X, which could be in response to its ownership by Musk, a close ally of Trump. Musk has become more outspoken politically on the platform and there could be a belief that he will try to influence X users with his ideals.
Ranking second was TikTok, which faces <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42957741/tiktok-ban-deadline-ahead-what-will-happen-to-app-on-your-phone">a pending ban</a> that Trump has paused with an executive order. Facebook and Instagram, which are owned by Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) ranked third and fourth, respectively, among social media platforms with a combined 13%. This could be bad news for the company as it could see an exodus of users in the coming months.
Reddit (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) and Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>)-owned Snapchat received a lower percentage of potential users leaving in the poll.

Why It's Important: The poll saw the majority of users not exiting social media platforms could show that fears of users being influenced by politics and leaving platforms based on who owns them could be overblown.
There were reports that users on Facebook and Instagram could be leaving the platform after Meta's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42851889/meta-ditches-fact-checking-for-community-notes-zuckerberg-says-opportunity-to-restore-free-expression"> content moderation changes</a>. Searches for "delete Facebook" and "delete Instagram" have surged on Google in recent weeks, but the poll shows that users might not be ready to leave the platforms yet.
X leads the way for a potential trend of consumers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43172806/tesla-lost-15-billion-in-brand-value-in-2024-report-says-did-elon-musks-political-push-hurt-ev-giant">being less happy </a>with the brands associated with Musk as his political efforts ramp up.
Reports showed that users <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42566461/mark-cuban-says-this-is-the-holy-grail-that-makes-bluesky-better-than-musks-x-platform">went to alternate platforms </a>like Bluesky after the election, but this poll could show that people never truly left or they didn&#8217;t stay on Bluesky.

</ul>
The study was conducted by Benzinga from Jan. 25, 2025, through Jan. 27, 2025. It included the responses of a diverse population of adults 18 or older. Opting into the survey was completely voluntary, with no incentives offered to potential respondents. The study reflects results from 150 adults.

EXCLUSIVE: Will Social Media Users Leave Over Politics? New Poll Shows This Platform Hurt Most

When Netflix announced it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43131519/ellison-envisions-tailored-cancer-vaccines-in-48-hours-amid-trumps-500b-ai-push-netflix-surges-15-on-price-hike-after-record-subscriber-growth-dogecoin-drops-7-top-headlines-while-the-us-slept">raising prices</a> again this week, the internet had much to say. But one of the funniest and most talked-about responses came from AriZona Iced Tea. The company, famous for its 99-cent cans, tweeted to remind everyone that while Netflix keeps charging more, their price hasn't changed.

</ul>
"AriZona Iced Tea is still 99 cents," the brand tweeted, earning over 14 million views. The playful dig at Netflix&#8217;s rising costs quickly went viral, with fans jumping into the conversation. One person joked, "Can you start a streaming service right now?" AriZona replied, "Yeah, I'm streaming some AriZona into my mouth right now." Someone else asked where they got their information, and AriZona simply said, "Me."
This funny back-and-forth highlights a real point: prices are going up everywhere, but AriZona is sticking to their 99-cent promise. They've kept the same price since 1992! Don Vultaggio, the founder of AriZona, says keeping the price low is important to him. "Why have people who are having a hard time paying their rent pay more for their drink?" he said. "Maybe it's my little way of giving back."
AriZona has managed to keep its price low through strategic decisions like thinner cans, optimized production and efficient shipping methods. "We make it faster. We ship it better. We ship it closer. The cans are thinner."

Unlike competitors who invest heavily in advertising, AriZona relies on word-of-mouth to grow its customer base. Despite inflation and rising costs over the years, the company remains debt-free and highly profitable, with Vultaggio's net worth surpassing $5.6 billion.

The streaming giant added 19 million subscribers in the last quarter of 2024, bringing its global total to 302 million. The company says the extra money will go toward making more content, like the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42022601/mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-netflixs-explosive-boxing-event-ends-with-pauls-victory">Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match</a> and new seasons of hits like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42305013/squid-game-season-2-includes-new-games-contestant-with-a-crypto-background-revenge-factor-political-overtones">Squid Game</a>.
While Netflix continues to adjust its pricing strategy, AriZona's commitment to staying affordable has become a rare and refreshing constant. Judging by the overwhelming reaction to their tweet, it's clear that people appreciate their humor – and their prices. AriZona Iced Tea remains a steady, 99-cent bright spot in a world of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42027079/we-will-pass-those-tariff-costs-back-to-the-consumer-says-ceo-of-autozone-heres-a-look-at-other-companies-raising-prices">ever-increasing costs</a>.

AriZona Iced Tea Takes A Shot At Netflix For Raising Their Prices–'It's Still 99 Cents'

The fourth-quarter earnings season is in full swing, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43054693/magnificent-7-earnings-hinge-on-ai-payoff-analyst-flags-top-risks">all eyes are on the Magnificent 7,</a> a group of tech giants that enjoy the market&#8217;s attention, thanks in part to the ongoing artificial intelligence boom and their dominance in this space.
These stocks are Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet Inc (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>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs that focus</a> heavily on these stocks have also become attractive options for investors seeking diversified exposure ahead of their earnings results.
If you're looking to ride the earnings wave, here are three ETFs worth considering:
The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) was the first ETF offering equal-weight exposure to these seven stocks. It has an expense ratio of 0.29% and an AUM of $639.75 million. The ETF has grown 61% in the last year.
For a slightly broader yet targeted approach, the MicroSectors FANG+ ETN (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNGS#NYSE">FNGS</a>) could be a good choice. The fund tracks the NYSE FANG+ Index and maintains a 10% share in each of the seven stocks. The expense ratio is 0.58%.
Meanwhile, the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGK#NYSE">MGK</a>) allocates around 59% of its assets to the Magnificent 7. The ETF has $21.60 billion in AUM and an expense ratio of 0.06%, making this a pocket-friendly option.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For The Magnificent 7?</h1>
As the earnings season progresses, the Magnificent 7 stocks are expected to report earnings growth of 18% in 2025, marking a slowdown, according to a December 2024 report by Bloomberg. 
Tesla, Microsoft and Meta Platforms will kick off earnings with reports scheduled after market close on Wednesday. Apple follows Thursday, while Alphabet and Amazon are set to announce results on Feb. 4 and Feb. 6, respectively. Nvidia is likely to release its earnings later in February.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hangzhou, China-based AI startup</a> DeepSeek launched a new AI model that poses a challenge to U.S. competitors, including Nvidia&#8217;s core business. Industry experts like venture capitalist Marc Andreessen called this moment a "Sputnik moment" for U.S. AI companies as this could be a ground-breaker in the AI space, reported Reuters.
Nvidia shares rebounded Tuesday after analysts called the&nbsp;market&#8217;s reaction an &#8220;overreaction.&#8221; Analysts believe advancements like these could drive even more investment in AI, which can be beneficial for companies including Nvidia. Moreover, Nvidia has already said that DeepSeek's inference requires &#8220;significant numbers of Nvidia GPUs and high-performance networking."

Tesla has faced mixed fortunes recently. The EV maker reclaimed its trillion-dollar market cap thanks to a favorable policy environment. Yet it hit a roadblock with its fourth-quarter delivery numbers. The company missed estimates and reported its first-ever year-over-year decline in full-year vehicle deliveries. 
Adding to the challenges, recent rollbacks of pro-EV policies weighed on Tesla's stock, which fell 2.5% year-to-date. Despite these shortfalls, Tesla's leadership in EV scale and technology gives it an edge, particularly in markets where tariffs might restrict cheaper imports from Chinese competitors.
Microsoft continues to shine as a key AI forerunner with substantial investments in data centers and AI development. The company expects $10 billion in AI-related revenues next quarter.
Meta looks promising, with analysts raising their price targets ahead of its earnings release. Wedbush and BofA Global Securities now peg Meta's stock at $700 and $710, respectively. The social media company expects to generate revenues of $45-$48 billion in the fourth quarter but also anticipates increased spending on AI and infrastructure projects. This might shrink the margins.
Despite rolling out new AI-driven applications late last year, Apple has struggled to gain momentum, particularly in international markets. Its latest iPhone 16 has seen muted sales. Jefferies recently downgraded Apple to Underperform. Looking ahead, Apple expects low to mid-single-digit sales growth in its fiscal first quarter.
Alphabet is currently staring at antitrust lawsuits and increasing competition in the generative AI space. Analysts remain concerned about the long-term impact of AI on Alphabet's core search business.
Amazon continues to dominate e-commerce and cloud computing, while its AI business is growing rapidly. The company's fourth-quarter revenues are projected to land between $181.5 billion and $188.5 billion. Amazon's investments in AI infrastructure, including data centers and custom chips, position it well for sustained growth in this sector.
