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>.

Tesla, AT&T And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday that most of the engineering of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37356873/elon-musk-says-upcoming-tesla-roadster-to-debut-with-spacex-tech-for-speed-boost-there-will-never-be">upcoming second-generation Roadster</a> is completed and the company intends to start production in 2025.
What Happened: While most of the engineering is complete, there are some more updates the company intends to make on the vehicle, Musk added.
&#8220;It will be something special. Like the whole thing might be,&#8221; the CEO said about the vehicle during the company&#8217;s second-quarter earnings call. 
The new Roadster is the successor to Tesla&#8217;s first EV &#8211; the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33147963/from-mistakes-to-milestones-how-tesla-revived-the-roadster-and-why-its-a-big-deal-for-musk">limited-production first-generation Roadster</a> &#8211; produced between 2008 and 2012.
In February, Musk said that the upcoming Tesla Roadster can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 1 second, lower than the company's initial estimate of 1.9 seconds. Tesla's Model S Plaid, meanwhile, can achieve the same speed in 2.1 seconds.
"It would also obviously be ridiculous for the Roadster to achieve simply the same 0-60mph time as Model S, even though it is a 2-door fully performance-oriented vehicle," Musk later explained on X, formerly Twitter.
Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38817313/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-making-new-roadster-only-as-fast-as-model-s-plaid-would-be-ridiculous">The new Roadster</a>, Musk said earlier this year, is expected to be unveiled by the end of 2024 after the completion of production design with deliveries slated to start in 2025. The vehicle relies on a collaboration between Musk's two companies- Tesla and rocket manufacturer SpaceX- to provide incredible performance, he added. 
The new generation Roadster prototype was showcased at the end of the event dedicated to unveiling the Tesla Semi on November 16, 2017. The vehicle, Tesla then said, would be available starting in 2020 priced around $200,000.
However, the production timeline for the vehicle has been pushed several times since.

New Tesla Roadster Will Be 'Something Special,' Says CEO Elon Musk: Production To Commence In 2025

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has endorsed Cathie Wood-led ARK Invest&#8216;s $5 trillion valuation forecast for the electric vehicle manufacturer, suggesting it may be conservative. Musk made these remarks during Tesla&#8217;s <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?itm_source=parsely-api">second-quarter earnings call on Tuesday</a>.
What Happened: During <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">Tesla&#8217;s second-quarter earnings call</a>, Musk said, &#8220;ARK Invest thinks, on the order of $5 trillion, I think they are probably not wrong. And long-term Optimus, I think, it achieves a valuation several times that number.&#8221;
He further estimated potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39246781/elon-musk-thinks-humanoid-robots-will-one-day-exceed-human-population-from-nvidias-project-gr00t-to">demand for humanoid robots</a> could exceed 20 billion units globally, covering both consumer and industrial applications. &#8220;There are 8 billion people on earth. So it&#8217;s 8 billion right there. Then you&#8217;ve got all of the industrial uses, which is probably at least as much, if not, way more. So I suspect that the long-term demand for general-purpose humanoid robots is in excess of 20 billion units,&#8221; Musk said.
This alignment between ARK&#8217;s analysis and Musk&#8217;s vision highlights Tesla&#8217;s commitment to diversifying beyond electric vehicles into AI and robotics.
As Tesla continues to develop its humanoid robot, Optimus, with plans for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39880470/elon-musk-pushes-back-optimus-timeline-says-teslas-humanoid-robot-will-hopefully-be-available-for-ot">limited production starting next year</a>, investors and industry watchers will closely monitor whether this bold vision can translate into reality.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, reaffirmed her bullish stance on Tesla despite a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/36998382/cathie-wood-backs-tesla-despite-sharp-downturn-says-robotaxis-will-help-change-the-landscape-ent">sharp downturn in its stock</a> price. Wood emphasized the transformative potential of autonomous taxi networks, predicting a turnaround driven by these innovations.
In February, Wood reaffirmed her projection that her favorite electric vehicle company could reach $2,000 within five years, noting plans to revise the target. This valuation would imply a market capitalization exceeding $5 trillion for Tesla.&nbsp;
During the second-quarter&nbsp;results, Tesla reported a revenue of $25.5 billion, surpassing Street consensus estimates. However, the company&#8217;s EPS, operating margins, and free cash flow fell short of expectations, leading to a decline in Tesla&#8217;s stock. 
Musk discussed <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">various operational aspects</a>, including a delay in the robotaxi project and the potential postponement of the Mexican Gigafactory due to tariff concerns. 
Gene Munster, a tech analyst at Deepwater Asset Management, highlighted Musk&#8217;s strong conviction regarding vehicle autonomy. Musk stated that those who do not believe in Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39922671/elon-musks-strong-conviction-highlighted-by-gene-munster-anyone-who-doesnt-believe-that-tesla-wi">ability to solve vehicle autonomy</a> should not hold its stock. 
Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s stock closed at $246.38 on Tuesday, down 2.04% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock fell further 7.77%. Year to date, the stock has declined 0.82%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Investment bank Citi upgraded shares of cryptocurrency trading platform, Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), from neutral to buy, anticipating an improved regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency assets.
What Happened: Analysts led by Peter Christiansen raised their guidance on the cryptocurrency-linked stock from neutral at $260 to a buy with a target of $345, according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/banking-finance/coinbase-wins-citi-upgrade-crypto-regulatory-optimism">report </a>Tuesday.
"Shifts in the U.S. Election landscape and the Supreme Court's overturning of the long-standing Chevron precedent has changed our view on Coinbase's regulatory risks," Christiansen wrote.
The analyst added that the upcoming U.S. elections are taking a positive pivot toward the cryptocurrency industry in the wake of President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race.&nbsp;
&#8220;President Joe Biden's time in office had led many to conclude that the potential for pro-cryptocurrency legislation would fare better under a different administration."
Furthermore, the analyst believes that the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision to remove the Chevron Defence Doctrine, which limits regulators&#8217; power, could benefit Coinbase in its ongoing legal tussle with the SEC.

Why It Matters: Coinbase is one of the most high-profile cryptocurrency-associated stocks on Wall Street, with a market capitalization of $63.26 billion.
Shares of the company have jumped nearly 70% year-to-date, coinciding with the broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market. This follows a lackluster performance during the 2022-23 bear market when the stock failed to reach $100.
Coinbase was hit by an enforcement action by the SEC on charges of operating an unregistered securities exchange. In response, the cryptocurrency exchange <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39526310/coinbase-sues-sec-and-fdic-over-alleged-attempts-to-stifle-crypto-industry">has also sued federal regulators</a>, accusing them of hindering the industry&#8217;s growth.
Price Action: Shares of Coinbase closed 2.38% lower at $258.83 during Tuesday's regular trading session, 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>.

Biden's Exit Spurs Bullish Outlook? Citi Upgrades Coinbase Amid Favorable Crypto Regulatory Shifts

EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) on Tuesday reiterated its plans to start producing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39743027/tesla-unveils-new-model-3-variant-with-longer-range-eligible-for-7-500-tax-credit">new electric vehicles</a> in the first half of 2025, putting an end to concerns about an aging lineup. 
What Happened: The new vehicles, Tesla said, also include more affordable models.
The last mass-market vehicle introduced by Tesla was the Model Y crossover SUV, of which the company started deliveries in early 2020. Though Tesla started delivering its stainless steel Cybertruck last year, it is targeted towards more premium EV buyers. 
New Vehicles But On Old Production Lines: The new vehicles, Tesla said, will be produced on the same manufacturing lines as Tesla&#8217;s current lineup. While the move will result in less cost reduction than expected before, it will allow the company to fully utilize its current capacity before investing in new manufacturing lines. Tesla also cited &#8220;uncertain times&#8221; for the decision it deems will allow it to increase vehicle volume in a more capex-efficient manner.
Tesla teased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39331612/elon-musk-teases-three-new-vehicles-at-teslas-annual-shareholder-meeting-more-affordable-model-incom">three upcoming vehicles</a> at its annual shareholder meeting in June. While one is expected to be the company&#8217;s dedicated robotaxi product, the other is assumed to be the next-generation roadster, while the third is expected to be a wholly new vehicle of which little is known. 
Musk Refuses Details: Company CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday refused to share more details on the company&#8217;s new vehicles alleging that it might affect near-term sales. 
&#8220;We&#8217;re going to make great products in the future just like we have in the past, end of story,&#8221; Musk said.
Tesla&#8217;s Q2 Earnings: Tesla stock closed down 2% at $246.38 on Tuesday and fell 7.8% after-hours after the company <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">reported adjusted earnings per share </a>of 52 cents, lower than the street consensus estimate of 62 cents. 
Tesla&#8217;s second-quarter revenue rose 2% year-over-year to $25.5 billion, with operating margin dropping to 6.3% from the 9.6% reported for the corresponding period of last year.
