Earnings Scheduled For December 19, 2024

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a sharp decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index moved to the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones index falling for the 10th session in a row, dipping more than 1,100 points during the session.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell adopted a hawkish stance during his Wednesday press conference after the December Fed meeting. Although the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 0.25% to a range of 4.25%-4.5%, as widely anticipated, the updated economic projections suggest just two potential rate cuts in 2025 — down from four projected in September and fewer than the three anticipated by markets before the meeting.
On the economic data front, the U.S. recorded a current account deficit of $310.9 billion in the third quarter compared to the revised gap of $275.0 billion in the previous period, versus market estimates of a $284 billion gap. U.S. housing starts fell 1.8% to an annualized rate of 1.289 million units in November from 1.312 million in October.
General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) shares fell around 3% on Wednesday following the release of second-quarter results. Shares of Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOR#NYSE">WOR</a>) rose around 10% during Wednesday&#8217;s session as the company posted better-than-expected results for its second quarter.
All sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, real estate, and communication services stocks recording the biggest losses on Wednesday.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 1,123 points to 42,326.87 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 2.95% to 5,872.16, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 3.56% at 19,392.69 during Wednesday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Accenture Plc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>), Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), and FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 33.9, the index moved to the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 50.7.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Alphabet Inc.&#8217;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>) autonomous driving unit Waymo said on Wednesday that the company served over four million fully autonomous rides in 2024, taking the total number of rides to over 5 million.
What Happened: Waymo&#8217;s robotaxi rides are open to the public in Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. 
While the popular destination for riders in Phoenix was the Sky Harbor International Airport, the most popular destination for riders in San Francisco was The Ferry Building. In Los Angeles, The Grove shopping center was most popular among Waymo riders, the company said. 
Waymo now serves over 150,000 trips to riders every week, the company added. 
Why It Matters: Waymo is now working to commercially launch in Austin and Atlanta on the Uber app next year. It also intends to launch its services in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42360297/waymo-eyes-expansion-of-autonomous-rides-to-users-in-miami-by-2026">Miami with fleet partner Moove in 2026. </a>
The company also said earlier this week that it will start testing its robotaxis in Tokyo, Japan, beginning in early 2025, in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42523474/alphabets-waymo-expands-global-reach-with-tokyo-robotaxi-testing-eyes-left-hand-traffic-challenges">first step towards international markets</a>. 
All-electric Jaguar I-PACEs equipped with Waymo's autonomous driving technology will arrive in Tokyo in early 2025 and learn to adapt to left-hand traffic and other driving nuances of the city, the company said.
The company, however, did not provide a timeline for when it intends to provide autonomous paid rides to members of the public.

Quantum computing stocks have catapulted this year, especially after Dec. 9, when Alphabet Inc.&#8217;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 announced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42447332/alphabets-quantum-willow-chip-wows-analyst-google-at-the-leading-edge-of-technology-innovation">latest quantum chip, Willow</a>. However, analysts have a negative consensus rating for these stocks.
What Happened: Quantum Computing Inc. stock surged by 52.95% on Thursday and 2,785.39% over the year but Citron Research has called this move the &#8220;most ridiculous&#8221; citing its spending on research and development.
Stocks of other companies, including Rigetti Computing Inc., and D-Wave Quantum Inc. have soared enormously, whereas other quantum computing players like IONQ Inc. and International Business Machines. have seen modest growth.

Why It Matters: The funds allocated to research and development as a part of operating expenses were down to $2.24 million in the third quarter of the current fiscal for Quantum Computing. This compares to $2.32 million during the same period last year.
According to Citron, this is a &#8220;striking mismatch for a company claiming to offer integrated high-performance quantum systems.&#8221;

Quantum computers, using qubits, promise to revolutionize computing by performing complex calculations exponentially faster than traditional computers.
Google&#8217;s recent breakthrough with Willow demonstrates the potential of quantum memory as it performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes which currently takes a supercomputer 10 septillion years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe.
However, high error rates remain a significant challenge, hindering commercial viability and uncertain timelines for widespread adoption.
&#8220;Buying $RGTI based on Google's quantum success is as misguided as believing every TikTok guitarist is the next Taylor Swift,&#8221; said Citron Research.

Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly engaging in discussions with&nbsp;Tencent&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) and TikTok&#8217;s parent company,&nbsp;ByteDance, to integrate their AI&nbsp;models into iPhones sold in&nbsp;China.
What Happened: The U.S. tech giant began incorporating OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT into its devices earlier this month. However, due to regulatory constraints in China, Apple is seeking local partners to enhance AI features on its devices. The&nbsp;discussions with Tencent and ByteDance&nbsp;are reportedly in preliminary stages, sources indicated, Reuters reported on Thursday.
Apple&#8217;s move comes&nbsp;as it faces declining market&nbsp;share in China, the world&#8217;s largest smartphone market.&nbsp;The absence of AI capabilities&nbsp;in its latest iPhones has been a significant drawback, especially with increasing competition from domestic brands like Huawei.
Apple, Tencent and ByteDance have yet to respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> queries.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42525551/ahead-of-trumps-return-to-white-house-us-approves-406m-grant-for-taiwans-chipmaker-globalwafers?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ahead Of Trump&#8217;s Return To White House, US Approves $406M Grant For Taiwan&#8217;s Chipmaker GlobalWafers</a>
Why It Matters: The potential collaboration with Tencent and ByteDance is critical for Apple as it navigates the competitive Chinese market. In recent months, Apple has faced challenges in China, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40125039/apple-cracks-down-on-tencent-and-bytedance-over-30-app-store-fees-threatens-to-reject-essential-">crackdown on app store fees</a>. In August, Apple intensified efforts to compel Tencent and ByteDance to close loopholes that allowed in-app creators to bypass Apple&#8217;s 30% commission. 
Moreover, Apple&#8217;s AI ambitions have been met with skepticism. In October, an analyst suggested that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41420086/apple-intelligences-meh-moment-ahead-analyst-predicts-5-months-of-build-up-could-lead-to-a-thats-it">Apple&#8217;s much-anticipated AI system,</a> Apple Intelligence, might not meet high expectations. This underscores the importance of Apple&#8217;s current talks with Chinese tech giants to bolster its AI capabilities.
In November,&nbsp;Tim Cook&nbsp;expressed optimism about Apple&#8217;s performance in China, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41677388/tim-cook-underscores-several-positive-signs-in-apples-china-performance-refrains-from-talking-about">highlighting positive signs</a> despite economic challenges. However, he refrained from commenting on the potential impact of economic stimulus. This context emphasizes the strategic importance of Apple&#8217;s AI integration efforts in maintaining its market position in China.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil complaint against CVS Pharmacy Inc owned by CVS Health Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), alleging the nation&#8217;s largest pharmacy chain violated the Controlled Substances Act by filling unlawful prescriptions for dangerous opioid combinations and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42554729/pharmacy-benefit-managers-played-key-role-in-worsening-opioid-crisis-drug-makers-paid-staggering-rebates-to-the-middlemen">quantities from 2013 onwards</a>.

The service is powered by OpenAI&#8217;s Realtime API and GPT-4o mini through WhatsApp API integration.
It is currently available to users in the U.S., while international users can access it via WhatsApp at 1-800-242-8478 — OpenAI has coded &#8220;CHATGPT&#8221; as 242-8478 on a phone keypad.

Why It Matters: The ChatGPT-parent has emerged as a leading player in generative AI, with a valuation of $157 billion and significant investments, such as $14 billion from Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
As part of its "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42523020/chatgpt-search-goes-free-openai-challenges-googles-unbroken-search-dominance">12 Days of OpenAI</a>" event, the AI startup also extended the ChatGPT Search engine to all users, including those on the free tier.
The Sam Altman-led company also debuted its text-to-image model, Sora, along with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42356469/openai-unveils-200-chatgpt-pro-subscription-inside-the-o1-reasoning-model-and-what-it-means-for-power-users">$200 monthly</a> ChatGPT Pro subscription.
OpenAI has also been battling with some legal troubles. Last week, the company countered Elon Musk&#8217;s legal attempts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42493076/openai-challenges-musks-lawsuit-reveals-2017-profit-talks">block its shift to a fully for-profit model</a>.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has slammed Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) for its numerous requests to access iPhone-maker&#8217;s software tools, citing potential privacy and security risks.
What Happened: Under the EU&#8217;s Digital Markets Act, Apple is required to allow competitors and app developers to inter-operate with its services or face significant fines.
Meta has so far submitted 15 interoperability requests, more than any other company, seeking extensive access to Apple&#8217;s technology stack, reported Reuters, citing a report in which Cupertino complained about it.
The Tim Cook-led tech giant has expressed concerns that Meta&#8217;s requests could compromise user privacy and security.

The company also suggested that the requests are unrelated to the use of Meta&#8217;s external devices like smart glasses and VR headsets.
Apple cited Meta's history of receiving fines in Europe as a reason for its concern.
In response, a Meta spokesperson accused Apple of using privacy as a pretext for anticompetitive behavior. &#8220;Every time Apple is called out for its anticompetitive behavior, they defend themselves on privacy grounds that have no basis in reality.&#8221;
Apple and Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It Matters: Since 2014, Cook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have clashed over privacy, business models, and product strategies.
From Facebook&#8217;s Cambridge Analytica scandal to Apple's iOS privacy updates and competing VR headsets, their battle epitomizes the growing tensions between Silicon Valley&#8217;s biggest players.
This year in February, Apple launched its first-generation mixed-reality headset called Vision Pro, and Zuckerberg wasted no time in sharing his thoughts on the device.
&nbsp;&#8220;I don't think that Quest is the better value, I think [Meta&#8217;s] Quest is the better product, period,&#8221; he stated at the time.
In June, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39470144/apple-reportedly-said-no-to-metas-offer-for-iphone-ai-integration-due-to-privacy-policy-concerns">Apple reportedly declined Meta&#8217;s proposal</a> to integrate its AI chatbot, Llama, into the iPhone, citing privacy policy concerns. This report came just days after Apple announced a partnership with OpenAI.
In July, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized Apple&#8217;s approach, describing it as &#8220;soul-crushing&#8221; and accusing the company of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39926076/mark-zuckerberg-slams-tim-cooks-apple-after-cupertino-reportedly-rejected-its-iphone-ai-partnership">trying to limit Meta&#8217;s</a> technological advancements.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Meta&#8217;s stock finished 3.59% lower at $597.19, while Apple saw a decline of 2.14%, ending at $248.05, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
