Wah Fu Education Group Limited Announced Its Entry Into The Fields Of Educational AI And Informatization

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>) has committed to a new multiyear investment of $5 billion into its autonomous driving technology unit Waymo, company CFO Ruth Porat said on Tuesday. 
What Happened: The new round of funding, Porat said during the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39917921/alphabet-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-innovation-at-every-layer-of-the-ai-stack-and-more">second-quarter earnings call</a>, is consistent with recent annual investment levels and will enable the company to &#8220;continue to build the world&#8217;s leading autonomous driving technology company.&#8221;
&#8220;Alphabet has committed up to $5B to Waymo. We are grateful for their immense vote of confidence in our team and recognizing the amazing progress we've made with our technology, product, and commercialization efforts, Waymo co-CEO Tekedra N Mawakana wrote in a post on X.

More details on the investment will be revealed in the company&#8217;s 10-Q form which is yet to be filed, Porat said. 
Elon Musk Responds: Tesla CEO Elon Musk laughed at Alphabet&#8217;s new investment into Waymo on social media platform X with a short, &#8220;Waymo money.&#8221; 
The CEO was seemingly making a jibe at how the venture is costing the parent company way more money, owing to its significant cash burn.

Musk&#8217;s Tesla is also trying to achieve vehicle autonomy with its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance software. However, the technology is still in the development phase and requires active driver supervision. 
The company also intends to unveil a dedicated Robotaxi product later this year. 
Why It Matters: &#8220;In Other Bets (segment), I&#8217;m really pleased with the progress Waymo is making, a real leader in space and getting rave reviews from users,&#8221; Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said on Tuesday. Waymo is currently delivering well over 50,000 paid trips per week to customers, he added.

Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Roy Cooper (D-N.C.) are leading the race to become Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s running mate, as per Democratic mega-donors.
What Happened: These three candidates have garnered support from influential Wall Street and Hollywood donors and are currently under scrutiny by Eric Holder, former attorney-general under Barack Obama, Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/be6fda7e-6ec5-494a-a8ea-fa57a7a1c9f5">reported</a> on Wednesday. Wall Street favors Shapiro and Cooper, while Hollywood donors lean towards Kelly.
Other potential candidates include Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. However, Shapiro, Kelly, and Cooper have personal ties with Harris, which could influence the decision.
Why It Matters: The selection of Harris&#8217;s running mate is crucial in the wake of Joe Biden&#8217;s withdrawal from the presidential race. Shapiro, a former state attorney, is popular among Wall Street donors who believe his influence could help Harris secure Pennsylvania, a key swing state. Kelly, a war veteran and former NASA pilot, is admired for his personal story and popularity in another swing state, Arizona.

Biden: Latest Rounds Of Polls All Seem To Suggest Grim News For This Candidate</a>
However, there are concerns about Shapiro&#8217;s lack of government experience. Kelly would need to give up his Senate seat to become vice president, potentially costing the Democrats a vital seat in the Senate.
Harris has secured enough delegates to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39919247/who-will-kamala-harris-pick-for-vice-president-crypto-bettors-have-4-favorites-for-democra">win the party&#8217;s nomination</a>, setting up a head-to-head battle against former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Democratic Mega Donors Predict Kamala Harris To Pick VP Among These 3 Lawmakers As Presidential Race Against Trump Heats Up

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) reported a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39918390/tesla-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-miss-robotaxi-update-2024-growth-rate-to-be-notably-l"> second-quarter top-line beat </a>while the earnings per share trailed expectations and the stock plunged sharply in the after-hours session, reacting to the mixed results and the management commentary on the earnings call. Most market watchers were quick to point out the bad quality of the results and here&#8217;s a compilation of reactions from X, a social media platform Tesla CEO Elon Musk owns.
Black Blames Margins: Fund Manager and Tesla investor Gary Black did not attach much significance to the earnings miss. He noted that excluding a restructuring charge amounting to $622 million or 14 cents per share, the adjusted earnings would have been 66 cents per share compared to the 62-cent per share consensus estimate. The restructuring charge is related to the 10% job cuts the company announced in the second quarter.
The Future Fund LLC Managing Partner was disappointed with the second-quarter auto gross margin, excluding regulatory credits, which came in at 14.6%, trailing the 16.2% consensus estimate. &#8220;We believe TSLA's weak AH stock price is more a function of disappointing auto gross margins ex-reg credits than the reported Adj EPS miss,&#8221; he said.
Among the other negatives were:
<ul>
<li>forecast for 2024 volume growth rate that is now expected to be notably lower than the 38% growth achieved in 2023 versus the Street forecast of a marginal drop</li>
<li>Second-quarter free cash flow at $1.3 billion, much lower than the $1.9 billion consensus</li>
<li>Regulatory credits at $890 million vs. the $450 million consensus, potentially inflating adjusted earnings per share by 10 cents</li>
</ul>
Tesla bear Gordon Johnson also raised questions about the quality of earnings. Over 50% of Tesla&#8217;s operating income came from one-time zero-emission vehicle credit sales, he said. &#8220;The rate-buy-downs appear to be ABSOLUTELY crushing $TSLA&#8217;s auto margins,&#8221; he said, referring to the ultra-low financing terms the company has made available for customers.

Tesla Valuation Questioned: An options data analyst decried the year-over-year declines seen in most P&amp;L items, barring energy and other services revenue as well as the total revenue, which was up a mere 2% and gross profit, which rose 1%. &#8220;$This last column is so impressively bad, no wonder Elon has to constantly make things up,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;This company isn&#8217;t even worth $20/share on what it&#8217;s actually doing,&#8221; he added.

Stanphyl Capital&#8217;s Mark Spiegel, a Tesla bear, noted that despite 55% of Tesla&#8217;s operating income coming from emission credit sales, the overall operating margin was only 6.3%. This is among the worst in the industry, he said.
&#8220;This is bubble-fraud a car company that should sell at 4x earnings,&#8221; he added. 
Based on the second-quarter results, the annualized GAAP earnings per share run-rate is $1.68 per share, Spiegel said, adding that automakers with similar or better margins and better growth rates currently sell for around 5 times earnings. &#8220;That makes bubble-fraud Tesla worth around $8.40/share,&#8221; he said.
Tesla shares are currently trading at a trailing P/E multiple of 63 and a forward P/E multiple of 99, according to Yahoo Finance&#8217;s database.
Most Telling Catalyst: New Street Research&#8217;s Pierre Ferragu said he does not see the robotaxi unveil or progress as a catalyst. &#8220;It is 1,000 Optimus droids doing useful things in the factories next year,&#8221; he said. The company has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39785823/elon-musk-confirms-delay-in-tesla-robotaxi-unveil-due-to-important-design-change-but-stays-mum-on-ne"> pushed back the robotaxi unveil event </a>from the originally communicated schedule of Aug. 8 to Oct. 10.
Making sense of Musk&#8217;s comments to his question on the call about the mode of robotaxi deployment, Ferragu said the company will likely get the service to unsupervised high-reliability autonomy, deploy, mainly sell, in high volumes in the order of millions, and then potentially look to turn the service on.
Tesla ended Tuesday&#8217;s session down 2.04% at $246.38 and fell an incremental 7.76% to $227.25&nbsp;in the after-hours, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Gen. Sir Roly Walker, the newly appointed head of the British Army, has unveiled a strategic reform plan to bolster the military&#8217;s capabilities against potential threats from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea within the next three years.
What Happened: General Walker stressed the urgency to modernize the British army to counter the &#8220;converging geopolitical threats&#8221; from these nations. His reform plan, termed &#8220;a not-war plan,&#8221; aims to create a formidable military force to deter potential adversaries, the Financial Times<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/8a741760-695b-45a2-8bd7-2b779a07fa4d"> reported</a> on Wednesday.
Walker&#8217;s announcement comes in the wake of the U.K. government&#8217;s review of the British military and potential increase in defense spending. He warned of the potential danger from Russia, which is recovering from the war in Ukraine, and highlighted China&#8217;s President Xi Jinping&#8216;s military ambitions for Taiwan by 2027-28, and Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities.
"The lesson from history is the Russians don't forget, and they will come back . . . wanting retribution for the support that was given to Ukraine," he told the media.

Vance Venture Capital Background Under Scrutiny: &#8216;It Never Seemed Like He Was Even Working, It Felt&nbsp;Like His Full-Time Job Was The Book&#8217;</a>
Walker&#8217;s reform plan seeks to double the &#8220;lethality&#8221; of the British army within three years and triple it by 2030. This would involve a shift from the &#8220;big army mindset&#8221; to embracing new technologies powered by artificial intelligence-driven software. Walker envisions an &#8220;internet of military things&#8221; to enhance threat detection and response capabilities.
Why It Matters: The reform plan comes at a time when geopolitical tensions are escalating. In April, U.S. Secretary of State<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38179999/antony-blinken-raises-alarm-over-north-korea-iran-and-chinas-military-aid-to-russia"> Antony Blinken expressed concern</a> over military aid that Russia's defense sector was receiving from North Korea, Iran, and China. 
In June, NATO considered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39351207/nato-considers-putting-more-nuclear-weapons-on-standby-amid-rising-threats-from-russia-north-korea-t">deploying additional nuclear weapons</a> in response to threats from Russia and China. The same month, Russia and North Korea <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39401882/putin-forges-defense-pact-with-kim-jong-un-elevating-russia-north-korea-alliance-what-it-means-for-u">signed a mutual defense pact</a>, intensifying East-West tensions. 
By July, North Korea had switched from a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39689352/kim-jong-uns-north-korea-switches-to-russian-satellite-from-china-for-tv-broadcasts-experts-say-it-s">Chinese to a Russian satellite</a> for its state television broadcasts, symbolizing a strengthening of ties between North Korea and Russia.

'Lesson From History Is Russians...Will Come Back:' UK Army Chief Unveils Reform Plan To Deal With 'Geopolitical Threats' Of Russia, China, Iran And North Korea

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has reportedly given the green light for the use of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) fourth-generation high bandwidth memory (HBM3) chips in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39877062/nvidia-reportedly-developing-a-new-version-of-its-flagship-ai-chip-for-chinese-market-amid-us-export">AI processors for the Chinese market</a>.
What Happened: This marks the first time that Nvidia has approved the use of Samsung&#8217;s HBM3 chips. However, the chips will initially be used in a less advanced Nvidia graphics processing unit (GPU), the H20, which is specifically designed for the Chinese market to comply with U.S. export controls, Reuters reported, citing three people briefed on the matter.
It remains unclear whether Nvidia will extend the use of Samsung&#8217;s HBM3 chips to its other AI processors. The chips are also yet to meet Nvidia&#8217;s standards for fifth-generation HBM3E chips, with testing ongoing.
According to the report, Samsung could start supplying HBM3 for Nvidia&#8217;s H20 processor as early as August. The H20 is the most advanced of the three GPUs Nvidia has developed for the Chinese market following the U.S. tightening export restrictions in 2023. These restrictions aim to impede supercomputing and AI advancements that could benefit the Chinese military.
The approval comes at a time when there is a significant demand for advanced GPUs due to the generative AI boom. Nvidia&#8217;s net income has surged to over $23.6 billion, reflecting the soaring demand for these chips.
With HBM3 chips also facing a shortage, Nvidia&#8217;s approval of Samsung&#8217;s chips is seen as a move to diversify its supplier base. This is especially important as the current leader in the field, SK Hynix, plans to increase its HBM3E production and reduce HBM3 production, according to the report.
Samsung and Nvidia did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s approval of Samsung&#8217;s HBM3 chips is a significant development in the context of ongoing U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductors to China.
In response to these restrictions, Nvidia is reportedly developing new versions of its AI chips <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39877062/nvidia-reportedly-developing-a-new-version-of-its-flagship-ai-chip-for-chinese-market-amid-us-export">specifically for the Chinese market</a>. Nvidia is working on a new AI chip, named &#8220;B20,&#8221; in collaboration with Inspur, a major distribution partner in China.
Additionally, the Chinese government has been urging its tech giants to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38809034/china-urges-tech-giants-to-shift-away-from-nvidia-and-other-foreign-chip-makers-boost-domestic-a">reduce their reliance on foreign-made chips</a>, including those from Nvidia. China has advised companies like Alibaba and Baidu to increase their purchase of domestic AI chips.
Despite U.S. restrictions, companies like Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Google and Microsoft Corp. have been providing Chinese firms access to Nvidia&#8217;s AI chips through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39822184/google-and-microsoft-provide-nvidia-chip-access-to-chinese-firms-despite-u-s-restrictions-report">data centers outside China</a>. This move highlights the ongoing demand for Nvidia&#8217;s technology in China.
Furthermore, Nvidia&#8217;s market value has been soaring, driven by the increasing demand for AI chips. A prominent tech investor predicted that Nvidia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39765205/nvidia-could-be-worth-nearly-50-trillion-in-a-decade-says-early-tesla-amazon-investor-nearly-2x-">could achieve a market capitalization</a> of nearly $50 trillion within the next decade.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock closed at $122.59 on Tuesday, down 0.77% from the previous day. In after-hours trading, the stock further declined by 1.62%. Year to date, the stock has experienced an increase of 154.49%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
