On Tuesday, Alphabet Inc. (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>) CEO Sundar Pichai hinted at potential future monetization strategies for Gemini AI, including the introduction of ads.
What Happened: During the company's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43479274/alphabet-q4-earnings-highlights-ai-cloud-youtube-momentum-continues-capex-guidance-sends-shares-lower">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call, analyst Ken Gawrelski asked about the long-term monetization strategy for Gemini, particularly whether ads would be integrated into the platform.
In response, Pichai confirmed that while the company is currently focused on free and premium subscription tiers, advertising will likely play a role in the future.

&#8220;We do have very good ideas for native ad concepts, but you will see us lead with the user experience,&#8221; Pichai stated, adding, &#8220;But I do think we&#8217;re always committed to making the products work and reach billions of users at scale. And advertising has been a great aspect of that strategy.&#8221;
Comparing Gemini's potential ad model to YouTube's approach, he suggested that Google will offer users choices over time. &#8220;Just like you&#8217;ve seen with YouTube, we&#8217;ll give people options over time,&#8221; Pichai added.
For now, however, Google remains focused on driving adoption through subscriptions, he said.

Why It Matters: During the earnings call, Pichai also highlighted Google&#8217;s extensive user base, stating that seven of the company&#8217;s products and platforms, each with over two billion users, are now integrating Gemini.
He also underscored Google&#8217;s leadership in AI, noting that its generative media models and Gemini consistently rank at the top of industry leaderboards and benchmarks. In fact, more than 4.4 million developers are currently using Gemini models— double the number from six months ago.
Alphabet reported fourth-quarter revenue of $96.5 billion, a 12% year-over-year increase. However, it fell short of the Street consensus estimate of $96.6 billion, according to <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020425&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Google's Gemini AI Could Soon Include Ads — Sundar Pichai Hints At Future Monetization Beyond Subscriptions

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) had thin trading volumes on Tuesday as its valuations have skyrocketed and its stock has fallen since the reelection of President Donald Trump, the recent charts point towards a weakness in the stock.
What Happened: DJT&#8217;s trading volume was significantly lower than average as of Tuesday&#8217;s close. Only 3.53 million shares were traded compared to the average of 20.03 million.
The technical analysis of its simple daily moving averages signals a downtrend with mixed momentum indicators.
DJT shares closed Tuesday at $30.62, lower than its 200-day simple moving average of $32.56, and 50-day average at $34.47. It was also lower than its eight-day average of $31.16 and the 20-day average of $34.87. This indicates a bearish downtrend.
However, the momentum indicators were mixed. The relative strength index of 40.59 showed that the stock is in the neutral zone. whereas the negative MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator of 1.27 suggests potential for downward momentum in the near term.

Why It Matters: Trump held 57% of the company, however, in December he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42609228/trump-transfers-entire-djt-stake-to-revocable-trust-ahead-of-inauguration">transferred</a> his entire stake of 114,750,000 shares to Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust of which he is the sole beneficiary. The DJT stock, which soared after Trump won the election, has declined 9.78% since Nov. 5.

Additionally, Trump Media is expanding its footprint in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43312600/trump-media-group-to-invest-in-bitcoin-financial-services">financial services</a> sector with the launch of Truth.Fi, which is a fintech division aimed at creating investment opportunities with a focus on cryptocurrency.
The company's board has approved a financial strategy that involves investing up to $250 million of its $700 million cash reserves in a range of financial instruments, including tailored exchange-traded funds (ETFs), separately managed accounts (SMAs), and Bitcoin.
CEO Devin Nunes is positioning Truth.Fi as the financial arm of its media network, which already includes Truth Social and the streaming platform Truth+.

Trump Media & Technology Trading Volume Falls Amid Expensive Valuations And Bearish Charts: Here's What Technical Analysis For DJT Stock Shows

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) announced plans to combine its client and gaming segments into a single reportable segment, following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43480688/amd-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-data-center-continued-growth">steep 59% year-over-year decline</a> in gaming revenue to $563 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
What Happened: The semiconductor giant will implement the restructuring beginning with its first quarter 2025 financial statements. 
&#8220;We plan to combine the client and the gaming segment into one single reportable segment to align with how we manage the business. Therefore, reporting three segments: data center, client with gaming, and the embedded,&#8221; Chief Financial Officer Jean Hu said, during the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings call. 
The gaming segment&#8217;s sharp decline was primarily attributed to lower semi-custom chip sales as key customers Microsoft and Sony focused on reducing channel inventory. However, AMD noted a significant milestone with cumulative gaming console shipments surpassing 100 million units in the fourth quarter.
&#8220;Looking forward, we believe channel inventories have now normalized and semi-custom sales will return to more historical patterns in 2025,&#8221; said Lisa Su, AMD&#8217;s Chair and CEO, during the earnings call.

Why It Matters: The reorganization comes as AMD&#8217;s client segment shows strong momentum, posting record revenue of $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43480688/amd-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-data-center-continued-growth">up 58% year-over-year</a>. 
For the first quarter of 2025, AMD expects overall revenue of approximately $7.1 billion, representing 30% year-over-year growth, driven by strength in data center and client businesses offsetting continued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43480688/amd-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-data-center-continued-growth">weakness in gaming and embedded segments</a>.
AMD has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> of $175.31 from 31 analysts, with a high of $250 and a low of $110. Recent ratings from Morgan Stanley, Rosenblatt, and Susquehanna give an average target of $187.33, implying a 71.96% upside.
Price Action: AMD closed at $119.50 on Tuesday, up 4.58%. After hours, it fell 8.84% to $108.94, down 31.41% over the past year, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has launched a limited-time insurance subsidy of 8000 yuan (about $1100) in China on the purchase of a new Model 3 vehicle, likely in a bid to increase demand.
What Happened: Customers can avail of the subsidy upon placing an order for any variant of the Model 3 before Feb. 28, the company says on its China website. The offer, however, applies only to the Model 3 and not to any of the company&#8217;s other offerings.
Tesla&#8217;s five-year zero-interest financing program also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41605537/tesla-extends-0-loans-in-china-will-it-help-hit-1-81-million-vehicles-in-2024">continues to be available</a> till Feb-end for the two variants of the electric sedan besides the performance one. 
The Model 3 is Tesla&#8217;s cheapest offering, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42907586/tesla-model-3-prices-rise-in-china-as-refreshed-model-y-debuts">starting at 235,500 yuan</a> after the company hiked prices in January by 3,600 yuan. The most premium Performance variant starts at 339,500 yuan. 
Expert Take: Tesla researcher Troy Teslike noted in a post on social media platform X on Tuesday that demand is dwindling for Tesla vehicles. 
&#8220;Tesla is likely to struggle a lot with deliveries this quarter,&#8221; Teslike said. While the subsidy is an effort to improve the demand situation, it will have a limited impact, he said.
&#8220;I expect more promotions for the Model 3 and Model Y in Europe and the Cybertruck in the US,&#8221; Teslike added.

Tesla launched a refreshed version of the Model Y in China in January, slated to start deliveries in March, in a bid to refresh its lineup. The company has <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43419132/tesla-begins-global-production-of-refreshed-model-y-deliveries-start-in-march">already commenced production</a> of the refreshed vehicle at its gigafactory in Shanghai.

Earnings Scheduled For February 5, 2025

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) CEO, Alex Karp, has shown enthusiasm for the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its potential influence on his company.
What Happened: Established by President Trump two weeks ago with Elon Musk at the helm, DOGE aims to implement cost-cutting measures. Despite the possible effects on companies dependent on government contracts, Karp views DOGE as a positive disruptor.
During Palantir&#8217;s Q4 earnings call on Monday, Karp referred to the DOGE initiative as a &#8220;revolution&#8221; that will be &#8220;very good&#8221; for the company in the long run. 
"There will be ups and downs. There's a revolution. Some people are going to get their heads cut off. We're expecting to see really unexpected things and to win."  
Palantir, well known for landing significant federal contracts, reported a 36% year-over-year revenue increase in Q4 2025, with U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43456348/pltr-stock-surges-over-17-in-pre-market-after-ceo-alex-karp-touts-untamed-organic-growth-in-ai-demand">government contracts</a> contributing $343 million—up 45% from the previous year.
Palantir's CTO, Shyam Sankar, reiterated Karp&#8217;s sentiments, stating that the company&#8217;s values align with DOGE&#8217;s mission. He believes that DOGE&#8217;s emphasis on accountability and transparency will create opportunities for Palantir&#8217;s work.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/02/43463909/palantir-stock-is-surging-tuesday-whats-going-on">Palantir Stock Is Surging Tuesday: What&#8217;s Going On?</a>
Why It Matters: Palantir has traditionally relied on federal contracts as the foundation of its revenue.&nbsp;The company&#8217;s Gotham platform, a vital resource for defense and intelligence agencies, highlights its strong foothold in the government arena.
Palantir&#8217;s CEO, Karp emphasized a surge in &#8216;untamed&#8217; demand for its artificial intelligence software. The company forecasted revenue of $3.75 billion in 2025, surpassing analysts' estimates. Following the company&#8217;s better-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter, several analysts also lifted price targets. The total revenue grew 36% year-over-year, driven by strong U.S. revenue growth of 52% year-over-year.
Wedbush's Dan Ives in an interview on CNBC's "Closing Bell: Overtime." said that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43476925/buying-palantir-stock-today-is-like-buying-tesla-stock-10-years-ago-dan-ives-says-this-could-be-a-1-trillion-market-cap"> buying Palantir stock </a>right now could be like buying Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock in 2015. He stated, "When you start to look out to the next three, four, five years … this could be a $1 trillion market cap."

Alex Karp Says Elon Musk's DOGE Initiative Will Be 'Very Good' For Palantir: 'Expecting To See Really Unexpected Things And To Win'

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su has addressed DeepSeek's AI advancements and their potential impact on the semiconductor market.
What Happened: During AMD's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43480688/amd-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-data-center-continued-growth">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call on Tuesday, Su expressed optimism about the innovations in AI.
&#8220;The fact that there are new ways to bring about training and inference capabilities with less infrastructure actually is a good thing because it allows us to continue to deploy AI compute in broader application spaces and drive more adoption,&#8221; she stated.
Su also reinforced AMD's commitment to open-source AI, noting that DeepSeek's success aligns with the industry&#8217;s broader shift toward democratized AI models.

Regarding the future of AI chips, Su stated that while application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are part of AMD&#8217;s total addressable market, GPUs will continue to play a significant role due to their programmability and adaptability to evolving AI algorithms.
&#8220;My belief is, given how much change there is still going on in AI algorithms, that ASICs will still be the smaller part of that TAM [Total Addressable Market] because it is a more specific workload-optimized solution,&#8221; Su explained. &#8220;GPUs will enable significant programmability and adjustments to all of these algorithm changes.&#8221;
She noted that AMD&#8217;s portfolio spans CPUs, GPUs, and ASICs, positioning the company as a comprehensive compute partner for diverse workloads.

Why It Matters: AMD&#8217;s fourth-quarter report revealed revenue of $7.66 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $7.53 billion.
This performance underscores AMD&#8217;s robust position in the semiconductor industry, particularly in the data center segment, which saw a 69% growth.
The emergence of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43420277/these-3-stocks-are-at-most-risk-from-chinas-ai-innovation">DeepSeek's low-cost AI assistant</a> app from China has been a significant development in the AI landscape. DeepSeek says they spent only $5.6 million on semiconductor chips. That's about one-tenth of what companies like OpenAI and Meta have spent on chips for their AI apps.
When the market realized that the same AI performance could be achieved with fewer and slower chips, it hit companies supplying expensive chips.
On Jan. 27, Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) stock dropped 17%. In the days after the DeepSeek news, chip stocks and AI-focused companies saw a slight recovery.
However, the damage isn&#8217;t contained yet. The idea of a cheaper, equally effective way to build AI models still lingers.
Price Action: AMD's stock fell 8.84% in after-hours trading, closing at $108.94. Earlier on Tuesday, it ended at $119.50, up 4.58%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Why It Matters: Trump coin&#8217;s decline highlights the volatility of meme coins, particularly those tied to celebrities. Launched before Trump&#8217;s presidential inauguration, TRUMP briefly reached a fully diluted valuation of $75 billion but has since dropped 76%, now valued at $17.81 billion. Despite offering some utility, such as for purchasing Trump-branded merchandise, its price fluctuations have largely been influenced by broader market trends.
