On Thursday, Jeff Bezos-backed Perplexity launched its AI-powered mobile assistant for Android users.
What Happened: Perplexity has introduced its AI-powered mobile assistant on Android, aiming to rival 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 with its multimodal capabilities.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Google's AI assistant now supports completing tasks across multiple apps and handling multimodal requests at Samsung&#8217;s unveiling of the Gemini-powered Galaxy S25.
Now Perplexity has announced that its assistant can handle tasks like writing emails, setting reminders, and booking dinners. It can interact with what&#8217;s on a user's screen and use their camera to &#8220;see&#8221; the environment.

Dan Ives On Who Could Win TikTok's Billion-Dollar Soap Opera: ‘Someone Hand Picked From Beijing But Also Trump's White House'</a>
The assistant also plays media, such as podcasts, and identifies objects using the phone&#8217;s camera.
However, the assistant has limitations. It currently supports apps like Spotify, YouTube, and Uber, but cannot access platforms like Slack or Reddit. The company said that more app support and functionalities are in development.
Users can activate the assistant through the Perplexity app, replacing their default assistant. It is not yet available for iPhone users.

Why It Matters: Last year, Perplexity raised $500 million, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42570376/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexity-raises-500-million-tripling-its-valuation-to-9-billion-as-competition-with-google-and-openai-heats-up">tripling its valuation to $9 billion</a>.

In USD, sales of $6.77 billion missed the analyst consensus estimate of $6.93 billion.

Group organic sales grew by 2% Y/Y. Adjusted gross margin improved to 46.3% from 41.1% Y/Y, driven by substantial expansion in Networks.
Adjusted EBIT margin was 13.1% versus 10.3% Y/Y due to a non-cash&nbsp;impairment loss relating to the Vonage acquisition.&nbsp;Adjusted EBITA margin improved to 14.1% from 11.4% a year ago, benefiting from higher gross income and cost actions.
Ericsson reported an EPS of SEK 1.44 versus SEK 1.02 Y/Y. In USD, EPS of $0.13 missed the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $0.19</a>.
Free cash flow before M&amp;A was SEK 15.82 billion in the quarter, benefiting from the operational improvements.
As of December 31, 2024, net cash stood at SEK 37.8 billion.
Dividend: Ericsson board will propose a 2024 dividend per share of SEK 2.85 (up from SEK 2.70 Y/Y).
CEO Börje Ekholm noted further signs that the overall RAN market is stabilizing, with strong growth in North America supporting a return to Networks sales growth in the fourth quarter. However, the company has yet to accomplish its long-term EBITA goal.&nbsp;
Outlook: Ericsson&nbsp;expects <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter&nbsp;sales growth</a> for Networks and Cloud Software and Services to be similar to the 3-year average seasonality and a first-quarter adjusted gross margin for Networks of 47%- 49%.

This prompted companies like Ericsson to adopt cost-cutting measures and pivot to markets like the U.S. and India.
Ericsson stock surged over 57% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through Defiance Connective Technologies ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIXG#NASDAQ">SIXG</a>) and Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>).

Insights From Analysts
The chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, Adam Turnquist said that there are plenty of catalysts underpinning the recent advance. According to him, Trump brings a pro-growth agenda to Washington, with expectations of reduced regulations and lower taxes.
Market breadth has not kept pace with the recent stock rebound, said Turnquist, suggesting the advance has been relatively narrow. Although price and breadth disparities can last for a while, they often signal potential weaknesses in a rally that could stall.
&#8220;While we are not making a call for an imminent correction, investors should not be surprised if one develops this year as history shows they occur at least once per year,&#8221; he added.
Despite these overhangs, Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research said in an X post that &#8220;this is a bull market and stocks are the place to be overweight in your portfolio&#8221;.
