Fidelity Enhances Factor Lineup With International ETFs

Jensen Huang, CEO of&nbsp;Nvidia Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), addressed investor concerns regarding the necessity of massive AI infrastructure spending during a virtual event uploaded on Thursday. 
What Happened: Huang addressed the DeepSeek-led sell-off of the Nvidia shares and said, that investors misinterpreted the DeepSeek&#8217;s AI advancements. The pre-recorded event, produced by Nvidia partner DDN, was part of the launch of DDN&#8217;s new software platform, Inifinia.
The major reason for the sell-off was due to investors questioning the need for massive AI infrastructure expenditure by Big Tech firms, particularly&nbsp;if models can be trained with lesser computing power. This is a result of DeepSeek&#8217;s advancements in AI, which investors may have misunderstood, triggering a significant market reaction.
The Nvidia Chief clarified that the industry still demands significant computing power for post-training methods, which enable AI models to generate predictions or reach conclusions after training. He emphasized that as these methods diversify and expand, the demand for Nvidia&#8217;s computing power will also increase.

Nvidia Stock Had A Bad Week After DeepSeek Unveiled Its New Model In January—Now CEO Jensen Huang Says Investors Are Misreading AI's Future Impact: 'Obviously, That Paradigm Is Wrong'

President Donald Trump and Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk have reignited decades-old discussions about the U.S. government&#8217;s gold holdings at Fort Knox, as the precious metal&#8217;s prices reach historic highs above $2,940 per ounce.
What Happened: Musk initiated the conversation on social media Saturday, questioning the status of the gold reserves and calling for a &#8220;live video walkthrough&#8221; of the facility. Trump escalated the matter Wednesday, announcing plans to inspect the fortress-like depository. 
&#8220;We hope everything&#8217;s fine with Fort Knox, but we&#8217;re going to go to Fort Knox&#8230;to make sure the gold is there,&#8221; Trump said, adding, &#8220;If the gold isn&#8217;t there, we&#8217;re going to be very upset.&#8221;

Trump Plans Fort Knox Gold Inspection As Prices Soar Past $2,940: 'If The Gold Isn't There...'

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday said that preparations must start already for deorbiting the International Space Station (ISS), ahead of the timeline decided by space agency NASA. 
What Happened: &#8220;It has served its purpose. There is very little incremental utility,&#8221; Musk said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. &#8220;Let&#8217;s go to Mars,&#8221; the billionaire said, calling for a human-operated base on Mars instead of the low Earth orbit.

&#8220;The decision is up to the President, but my recommendation is as soon as possible,&#8221; Musk said while also recommending that the station be deorbited two years from now, or in 2027.

Current Plans For ISS: The ISS&nbsp;is operated by space agencies from the U.S., Europe, Japan, Canada, and Russia. All countries except Russia have committed to operating the station until 2030.&nbsp;The station has spent about 25 years in orbit and over 270 astronauts have visited it to date. 
NASA&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39574766/spacex-overtakes-ula-in-military-space-missions-as-vulcan-centaur-rocket-experiences-delays" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chose SpaceX</a>&nbsp;to develop and deliver the U.S. Deorbit vehicle (USDV) to deorbit the space station and ensure a lack of risk to populated areas in late June. SpaceX will develop the deorbit spacecraft under the contract valued at $843 million and NASA will take ownership afterward and operate it through the mission. 
The space agency previously said that the deorbit spacecraft would move the station out of orbit and into a remote area of an ocean at the end of its operations around 2030.
Both the spacecraft and the station are expected to break up through the process of re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Any remnants will subsequently fall harmlessly into the ocean as part of the plan. 
Musk&#8217;s Mars Vision: Musk has often talked about landing humans on the surface of Earth&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39521319/elon-musk-envisions-building-space-station-on-moon-after-spacex-bags-nasa-contract-to-build-iss-deor">neighboring planet Mars</a>. SpaceX&#8217;s Starship launch vehicle, with which he intends to accomplish the dream, is in the testing and development phase. 
Musk last year said that the first Starships will&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39567836/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-picks-terminus-for-mars-first-starship-enabled-city-after-just-4-test-flights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">head to Mars in two years</a>&nbsp;once the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.
The first launches to Mars in 2026, Musk then said, will not have a crew onboard and will be aimed at testing the flight&#8217;s ability to land intact on Mars.
&#8220;If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years,&#8221; Musk wrote, pegging the first crewed Starship flights to the neighboring planet for 2028.
According to the billionaire, humans stand a risk of extinction on Earth due to risks like nuclear war or natural annihilation.
"Having two planets means that all our eggs are not in one basket. From there, we can extend to other star systems," Musk said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/43840887/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-making-mars-self-sustaining-will-take-up-to-half-a-century-will-require-10-earth-mars-transfer-windows">earlier this week.</a>

As the precious metal nears the $3000 per ounce mark, all focus shifts to gold. As this expert highlights that the yellow metal is a portfolio &#8220;essential,&#8221; he adds that &#8220;fiscal dominance&#8221; could be a trigger for its divergence from inverse correlation with real yields.
What Happened: Despite trading flat at $2,930.62 per ounce, down 0.31% as of the publication of this article, gold has been testing the $3,000 level after hitting fresh records.
The metal&#8217;s 52-week range lies between $2,015.55 and the latest record high of $2,954.97.
Gold has given similar returns to the S&amp;P 500 index since 2020 while having a lower volatility, explains Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macro at Fidelity Investments. &#8220;Gold remains an essential component of a diversified portfolio in a regime in which bonds might remain impaired,&#8221; he added

Timmer also noted gold&#8217;s traditional inverse correlation with real yields has broken down recently. He said that likely due to &#8220;fiscal dominance&#8221; and geopolitical factors like central bank gold purchases.

Why It Matters: Meanwhile, during the ongoing four-day 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk addressed the gold at Fort Knox and said, &#8220;It&#8217;s the public&#8217;s gold. It&#8217;s your gold. I think you have a right to see it.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43847433/trump-approval-rating-declines-in-february-unpopular-domestic-and-foreign-policy-ideas">President</a> Donald Trump added during his speech, &#8220;We&#8217;re going to open the doors and inspect Fort Knox,&#8221; He continued, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to open it and find the cupboards are empty,&#8221;

Dropbox, Telephone and Data Systems And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

According to Airbus, the A321XLR burns 30% less fuel per seat than previous generation aircraft. Globally, 13 customers have selected GTF engines to power 217 A321XLR aircraft, with Wizz Air expected to be the first operator. To date, more than 2,200 GTF-powered aircraft have been delivered to over 80 customers worldwide. The next configuration of the engine, the GTF Advantage, is particularly well suited for the A321XLR, delivering higher take-off thrust and offering even better operating economics.

ValueAct Holdings, L.P. has initiated a significant position in Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), purchasing 536,900 shares worth approximately $119 million during the fourth quarter of 2024, according to a13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb. 14.
What Happened: The investment comes as Amazon continues to demonstrate strong market performance and strategic expansion. The e-commerce giant reported fourth-quarter net sales of $187.8 billion, representing a 10% year-over-year increase and exceeding analyst <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43545590/amazoncom-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-most-successful-holiday-shopping-season-in-company-history">expectations of $187.3 billion</a>. 
The company&#8217;s AWS cloud division showed particularly robust growth, with revenues climbing 19% to $28.8 billion.
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth recently named Amazon his &#8220;Best Idea&#8221; for 2025, projecting continued e-commerce acceleration. Despite a slight market share dip to 46.1% in the fourth quarter, Amazon maintains its dominant position in U.S. e-commerce, having delivered over 9 billion items within a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43847764/amazon-tightens-grip-e-commerce-accelerates-jpmorgans-best-idea-2025">single day in 2024</a>.

Why It Matters: The company is also making strategic moves in entertainment, with Amazon MGM Studios recently gaining creative control over the James Bond franchise through a new joint venture with longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. This development prompted Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to engage with fans about potential casting choices for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43873122/james-bonds-future-now-in-amazons-handsand-jeff-bezos-wants-to-know-who-youd-pick-as-the-next-007">the next 007</a>.
ValueAct&#8217;s investment aligns with the firm&#8217;s history of backing <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43518855/jeff-ubbens-valueact-bet-on-meta-visa-and-exited-spotify-in-q3-was-it-a-clever-move">technology and growth sectors</a>. Founded by Jeff Ubben in 2000, the San Francisco-based activist hedge fund has evolved beyond its founder&#8217;s influence since his departure, as noted in a 2020 Financial Times interview.
Wall Street maintains a bullish outlook on Amazon, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> of $264.05 based on 43 analyst ratings. Recent price targets from Loop Capital, Citigroup, and Maxim Group average $279.33, indicating a potential 25.12% upside from the current price of $222.88.

Amazon Attracts $119 Million Investment From Activist Hedge Fund ValueAct: Analysts See 25% Upside — What Catalysts Drive Jeff Bezos' E-Commerce Giant?

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street">strong quarter</a> amid a weaker 2026 forecast during its fourth-quarter earnings call. The company highlighted a surge in its artificial intelligence use cases to manage its inventory, supply chain, deliveries, and developer efficiency.
What Happened: The retail giant is accelerating its entire business with AI as highlighted by CEO Doug McMillon during Walmart&#8217;s earnings call. Beyond optimizing delivery routes and supply chain automation, Walmart is now using AI to tackle internal challenges and empower its tech teams.
Highlighting the inventory management initiatives, McMillan spoke about a new AI agent for its merchants which helps them to identify the &#8220;root cause of issues related&#8221; to out-of-stock or overstock situations with greater accuracy and speed.
Another internal use case for AI at Walmart has been for the developers. AI&#8217;s new coding assistance and completion tools are helping the firm streamline its deployments and &#8220;deliver code faster with fewer bugs,&#8221; added the CEO. &#8220;Last year, these tools helped us save about 4 million developer hours,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: Despite making strides with AI in the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, Walmart CFO John David Rainey said during the call that the management acknowledges the ongoing &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43869433/walmart-expects-slower-growth-in-an-uncertain-time-cfo-says-on-earnings-call">uncertain time</a>&#8220;.
The retailer expects fiscal 2026 revenue growth below 2025&#8217;s 5.1% increase at 3% to 4%, and earnings between $2.50 and $2.60 per share, below the $2.76 estimate.
For the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street">fourth quarter</a>, the retail giant posted revenue of $180.55 billion, a 4.1% increase year-over-year, surpassing analysts&#8217; predictions of $180.01 billion. Adjusted earnings per share also beat estimates, coming in at 66 cents compared to the anticipated 64 cents.
Price Action: WMT fell 6.53% on Thursday, contrasting with a 0.42% decline in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index.
In after-hours Walmart rose 0.19% whereas SPY was up 0.0016%. WMT remains up 4.40% on a year-to-date basis and 22.76% over a year.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WMT/analyst-ratings">Benzinga tracks 30 analysts</a> with an average price target of $102.07 for the stock, reflecting a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating. Estimates range widely from $75 to $120. Recent ratings from Piper Sandler, Baird, and Barclays average $113.67, suggesting a potential 16.71% upside.

Fund giant Fidelity recently expanded its lineup of smart beta exchange-traded funds with the addition of two international funds. The Fidelity International High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/FIDI#NYSE">FIDI</a>) and the Fidelity International Value Factor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/FIVA#NYSE">FIVA</a>) debuted last week.
Boston-based Fidelity offers two domestic dividend ETFs: the Fidelity High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/FDVV#NYSE">FDVV</a>) and the Fidelity Dividend ETF for Rising Rates (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/FDRR#NYSE">FDRR</a>). The firm also features a domestic value ETF, the Fidelity Value Factor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/FVAL#NYSE">FVAL</a>).
FIDI and FIVA could prove well-timed as investors continue flocking to international ETFs. Several of last year&#39;s top asset-gathering ETFs were ex-US funds and to this point in 2018, six of the top 10 asset-gathering ETFs are international funds.
<h3>
	A Look At The Dividend ETF</h3>
The Fidelity International High Dividend ETF tracks the Fidelity International High Dividend Index. That benchmark &ldquo;is designed to reflect the performance of large and mid-capitalization developed international high dividend-paying stocks that are expected to continued to pay and grow their dividends,&rdquo; <a href="https://screener.fidelity.com/ftgw/etf/goto/snapshot/snapshot.jhtml?symbols=FIDI">according to Fidelity</a>.
The new ETF holds 96 stocks, about 60 percent of which are European companies. The remainder of FIDI&#39;s portfolio is split between Asia and North America. Twenty countries are represented in FIDI with Japan, the UK and France combining for about 44 percent.
FIDI is top heavy at the sector level as financial services stocks account for over 32 percent of the fund&#39;s weight while consumer discretionary and energy names combine for another 31 percent. FIDI charges 0.39 percent per year, or $39 on a $10,000 investment.
<h3>
	More On The Value Play</h3>
The Fidelity International Value Factor ETF follows the Fidelity International Value Factor Index. That benchmark &ldquo;is designed to reflect the performance of large and mid-capitalization developed international stocks that have attractive valuations,&rdquo; <a href="https://screener.fidelity.com/ftgw/etf/goto/snapshot/snapshot.jhtml?symbols=FIVA">according to Fidelity</a>.
Over 89 percent of FIVA&#39;s geographic weight is allocated to European and Asian companies. Nineteen countries are represented in the new ETF, which holds nearly 110 stocks. The euro and yen represent almost 53.6 percent of FIVA&#39;s currency exposure.
Japan, the UK and France combine for about half of FIVA&#39;s country weight. The new ETF devotes 23.6 percent to financial services names and a combined 27 percent to industrial and consumer discretionary stocks. FIVA&#39;s top 10 holdings combine for 15.8 percent of the portfolio. The value ETF also charges 0.39 percent per year.
