Rambus Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Prominent venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has moved his recent business incorporations to Nevada citing concerns over Delaware&#8217;s judicial system and its impact on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shareholders, marking a potential shift in corporate domicile preferences.
What Happened: In a statement on X, Palihapitiya revealed he has incorporated his last four companies in Nevada, stating, &#8220;Ever since the judicial activism against Tesla shareholders, I redirected the incorporation of the last four companies I&#8217;ve bought or started to Nevada.&#8221; He emphasized that &#8220;activism has a price and DE will pay it as fewer companies pick them.&#8221;
The former Facebook executive&#8217;s decision comes amid a broader corporate migration trend, with major companies reassessing their traditional ties to Delaware, long considered the gold standard for corporate law. 
When questioned about his choice of Nevada over other business-friendly states like Wyoming or Texas, Palihapitiya cited Nevada&#8217;s pro-business environment, established legal precedents, and proximity to California.

Other major corporations, including Tesla, Oracle Corp., and Charles Schwab Corp., have made similar moves to Texas.
Andy Walz, Chevron&#8217;s President of Americas Products, emphasized the practical motivations behind such relocations. &#8220;California is a tough place to do business,&#8221; Walz said, citing recruitment challenges and high living costs. &#8220;In Texas, we&#8217;re welcome.

Chamath Palihapitiya Relocates Businesses To Nevada Citing Delaware 'Judicial Activism' Against Tesla Shareholders

Two Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) whale investors, inactive for six years, were suspected of booking hundreds of millions in profits by selling the second-largest cryptocurrency just before the big market crash on Sunday.
What Happened: The two wallets deposited 135,548 ETH, worth $399 million, to&nbsp;cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex&nbsp;eight hours before the overnight crash, according to on-chain tracker Spot On Chain. The wallets originally withdrew ETH at just $153.65 on Jan. 5, 2019, when the stash was worth $20.8 million.
It wasn&#8217;t immediately clear whether the investors offloaded the entire stockpile. But if they did, they&#8217;d be netting a profit of $378.3 million.

Additionally, more than $320 million worth of Ether entered exchanges on a net basis, nearly tripling from the previous day. The sharp jump in deposits indicated potential sell-offs.

International Paper And DS Smith Merge To Form Global Leader In Sustainable Packaging

Former <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/yanis-varoufakis">Greek Finance Minister</a> Yanis Varoufakis warns that the TikTok ban controversy in the United States exposes a deeper issue: the concentration of power among tech platform owners who function as &#8220;techno-feudal lords&#8221; over social media users.
What Happened: &#8220;There is no stopping a form of economic activity which concentrates so much direct power in the hands of so few people, over our thoughts, our minds,&#8221; Varoufakis <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-01/social-media-hunger-games-technofeudalism-control/104877888?utm_source=abc_news_app&amp;utm_medium=content_shared&amp;utm_campaign=abc_news_app&amp;utm_content=mail">told</a> ABC News, arguing that Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) poses similar concerns as TikTok. &#8220;Do not fall into the trap of thinking that there is a good techno-feudal lord.&#8221;
Varoufakis is also a game theory expert who tried to use strategic brinkmanship to negotiate Greece's bailout during its 2015 financial crisis.
Varoufakis advocates for &#8220;interoperability&#8221; regulations that would allow users to transfer their followers between platforms, similar to phone number portability between carriers. This approach, he argues, &#8220;would reduce the switching costs and would deal a major blow at the exorbitant power of platform owners.&#8221;
His concerns come as major tech figures, including Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Meta&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg, maintain close ties with political leadership. &#8220;What they want from a president — and they don&#8217;t give a damn whether it&#8217;s [Donald] Trump or anyone else — is to get the federal government off their back,&#8221; Varoufakis said.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) Chairman Larry Ellison, and a consortium led by YouTube star MrBeast offering over $20 billion.

Chinese EV giant BYD Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) sold 296,446 new energy passenger vehicles in January, marking a jump of nearly 47.5% from last year, thanks to a major jump in plug-in hybrid passenger vehicle sales, the company said on Sunday.
What Happened:&nbsp;Pure passenger EV (battery electric vehicle) sales of the Chinese player rose to 125,377 in January, marking a rise of 19% from the corresponding month of last year.
Plug-in hybrid passenger vehicle sales in the period rose 79% to 171,069 units.
The company also sold 4,092 commercial vehicles in January, including 286 buses.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;BYD is the biggest rival to American EV giant&nbsp;Tesla.
The company first&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36839203/warren-buffett-backed-byd-sees-higher-profits-for-fy23-after-taking-over-tesla-as-biggest-ev-seller" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">took over Tesla</a>&nbsp;as the world's largest BEV seller in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, Tesla took back the crown in the first quarter of 2024 and held on to it for three consecutive quarters until the last quarter of 2024. 
Tesla reported in January that it delivered&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">495,570 BEVs in the three months</a>&nbsp;through the end of December, significantly lower than the 595,413 BEVs&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42758760/tesla-rival-byd-marks-50-growth-in-december-passenger-vehicle-sales-likely-to-trump-tesla-in-q4-bev-sales-yet-again" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sold by BYD</a>&nbsp;in the period.
However, for the whole year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780142/chinese-player-byd-overtakes-tesla-yet-again-as-worlds-biggest-ev-seller-in-q4">Tesla delivered 1,789,226 BEVs</a>, retaining its position as the bestselling pure EV brand for the year, despite a year-over-year drop in deliveries of 1.1%. BYD, meanwhile, managed to deliver only 1,764,992 BEVs in the twelve months, or 24,234 units less than Tesla.
BYD, however, makes plug-in hybrids too, unlike Tesla which makes solely battery electric vehicles.

State Street Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>), the third-largest U.S. issuer of exchange traded funds added to its lineup of actively managed funds Wednesday with the launches of two sector rotation funds.

The SPDR SSGA Fixed Income Sector Rotation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/FISR#NYSE">FISR</a>) and the SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/XLSR#NYSE">XLSR</a>) are the firm&#39;s newest ETFs.

<h3>What Happened</h3>

FISR, the new fixed income fund, uses an ETF of ETFs strategy. That new ETF focuses on the following corners of the bond market: bonds issued by U.S. government or agency, treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS), corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, high yield bonds, international (including emerging markets) government and corporate bonds, senior loans and floating rate notes, <a href="https://us.spdrs.com/en/etf/spdr-ssga-fixed-income-sector-rotation-etf-FISR">according to State Street</a>.

FISR has seven holdings. The SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Mortgage Backed Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/MBG#NYSE">MBG</a>), SPDR Portfolio Long Term Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/SPLB#NYSE">SPLB</a>) and the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Term Treasury ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/ITE#NYSE">ITE</a>) combine for over 70 percent of the new fund&#39;s weight.

FISR has an annual fee of 0.50 percent, or $50 on a $10,000 investment.

<h3>Why It&#39;s Important</h3>

The SPDR SSGA US Sector Rotation ETF also uses an ETF of ETFs methodology and that new ETF&#39;s holdings are also other State Street funds.

XLSR&#39;s six holdings are comprised of sector SPDR funds. The Technology Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), Health Care Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/XLV#NYSE">XLV</a>) and the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) <a href="https://us.spdrs.com/en/etf/spdr-ssga-us-sector-rotation-etf-XLSR">combine for over 81 percent</a> of that new ETF&#39;s roster.

XLSR&#39;s other holdings are the real estate, industrial and communication services SPDRs. The new ETF charges 0.70 percent per year.

<h3>What&#39;s Next</h3>

XLSR &ldquo;seeks to provide capital appreciation by overweighting or underweighting S&amp;P 500 Sector ETFs based on ISG&rsquo;s sector return forecasts and research, which includes a proprietary, quantitative sector selection model,&rdquo; <a href="https://us.spdrs.com/en/etf/spdr-ssga-us-sector-rotation-etf-XLSR">according to State Street.</a>

XLSR is rebalanced monthly, though additional rebalances can occur. FISR, the new bond fund, also aims to rebalance monthly.
