Leading market analysts highlighted Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Technology&#8216;s surprise fourth-quarter performance. Jim Cramer suggested investors may have overlooked the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier while focusing on Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42835923/jensen-huang-unveils-monster-gpus-nvidias-rtx-5000-series-starting-at-549">CES 2025 presentation</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;People were looking for Nvidia&#8217;s Jensen Huang to give a big keynote this evening at CES but weren&#8217;t thinking partner (and Apple supplier) Hon Hai would have such big numbers,&#8221; Cramer wrote on X on Monday, questioning whether bears might try to downplay the significance of the results.

December revenue jumped 42.31% annually to NT$654.8 billion ($19.9 billion), despite a 2.64% month-over-month decline.

Why It Matters: Foxconn&#8217;s expansion into AI infrastructure, particularly its partnership with Nvidia for GB200 chip production, represents a strategic pivot beyond its traditional role as Apple&#8217;s primary iPhone manufacturer. The company is building what it claims will be the world&#8217;s largest AI server manufacturing facility in Mexico.
During Foxconn&#8217;s October tech day in Taipei, Chairman Young Liu showcased the company&#8217;s advanced cooling technologies for GB200 servers, while Benjamin Ting, senior vice president for cloud enterprise solutions, confirmed strong demand for Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell platform.
The full-year revenue reached NT$6,859.9 billion ($208.59 billion), marking an 11.37% increase from the previous year, as the company capitalizes on the growing AI computing market.

Amid Nvidia's CES 2025 Buzz, Investors Overlooked Apple Supplier Foxconn's Strong Q4, Says Jim Cramer

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) inventory in the U.S. continues to have foundation series Cybertrucks despite offers to clear them.
What Happened: Tesla&#8217;s inventory currently shows four foundation series all-wheel drive Cybertrucks priced at $99,990. 
Benzinga first noted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42524912/teslas-99k-foundation-series-cybertrucks-still-available-a-sign-of-possible-demand-hurdles">foundation series Cybertrucks in Tesla&#8217;s inventory</a> in mid-December. Tesla has, since then, added offers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42712707/tesla-offers-free-lifetime-supercharging-with-foundation-series-cybertruck-as-it-looks-to-clear-inventory">including free supercharging</a> on the vehicle if the order is placed on or after Dec. 27. The offer, it then said, will only be available for a limited time. 
However, a week later, there are still foundation-series Cybertrucks left in the inventory and the company is continuing to offer free supercharging during the period of initial ownership, hinting at significant demand challenges for the vehicle. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="361" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-1024x361.png" alt="" class="wp-image-721116" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-1024x361.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-300x106.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-768x271.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-1536x542.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25.png 1855w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Screengrab of Tesla Inventory</figcaption></figure>
Why It Matters: The foundation series refers to a limited and pricier edition of the Cybertruck with laser-etched foundation series badges and premium accessories.
Tesla made only the foundation series Cybertrucks for the first few months of deliveries. In October, Tesla started selling the regular version of Cybertruck priced about $20,000 lower than the foundation series.
The foundation series trucks manufactured by the company for the U.S. market, meanwhile, continue to be in its inventory, hinting that potential customers are unwilling to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41873767/cybertruck-likely-wont-be-profitable-in-q4-says-tesla-researcher"> pay a premium for the stainless steel truck.</a>

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has committed to updating its AI feature following a complaint from the BBC.&nbsp;
What Happened: The tech giant acknowledged on Monday that its AI-generated news summaries on iPhones have been inaccurate, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cge93de21n0o">reported</a> BBC.
The issue came to light last month after the BBC reported that an AI-generated summary falsely claimed that Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself.

Despite these challenges, analysts like Dan Ives from Wedbush remain optimistic about Apple&#8217;s future. In a December analysis, Ives predicted a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42682230/tech-bull-predicts-26-upside-for-apple-stock-sees-golden-era-of-growth-for-cupertino-due-to-multi-year-ai-driven-iphone-upgrade-cycle">golden era of growth</a>&#8221; for Apple, driven by a multi-year AI-driven iPhone upgrade cycle.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock rose 0.67% on Monday, closing at $245, as per <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>. Latest analyst reports from Bernstein, B of A Securities, and Wedbush have set an average price target of $280.33, suggesting a potential upside of 14.43%.

United Microelectronics Reported December Revenue Growth Of 11.7% YoY

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Vanderbilt Mortgage &amp; Finance on Monday, alleging the Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) subsidiary systematically approved unaffordable manufactured home loans that set borrowers up for failure.
What Happened: According to the CFPB complaint, Vanderbilt, a unit of Clayton Homes, allegedly manipulated lending standards and used artificially low living expense estimates to approve loans for borrowers who clearly couldn&#8217;t afford them. 
In one case, the regulator cited a family of five was left with only $57.78 in monthly disposable income after mortgage payments.
&#8220;Vanderbilt knowingly traps people in risky loans in order to close the deal on selling a manufactured home,&#8221; CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a statement.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, claims Vanderbilt violated the Truth in Lending Act by disregarding evidence of insufficient income and approving loans for already struggling borrowers. 
The CFPB cited an example where Vanderbilt approved a mortgage for a family with 33 debts in collection, who defaulted within eight months.

Why It Matters: Manufactured homes serve as crucial affordable housing, particularly for low-income and rural Americans. However, CFPB research shows these loans typically carry higher interest rates and limited refinancing options compared to traditional mortgages.
The regulator is seeking to halt Vanderbilt&#8217;s alleged illegal practices and secure relief for affected homeowners. Vanderbilt operates nationwide from its Maryville, Tennessee headquarters as part of Clayton Homes, the largest U.S. manufactured home builder and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.
The case highlights ongoing scrutiny of lending practices in the manufactured housing sector following Congress&#8217;s 2010 mandate requiring lenders to verify borrowers&#8217; ability to repay loans &#8211; a response to the 2008 foreclosure crisis that saw over six million families lose their homes.

Baby, It's Cold Outside: These 5 Winter-Ready Stocks Have What It Takes To Make You Feel Warm And Cozy

The lead product for 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>) subsidiary Google&#8217;s AI Studio has voiced concerns over the U.S. government&#8217;s approach to artificial intelligence.
What Happened: Taking to X, formerly Twitter, over the weekend, Logan Kilpatrick said that despite the national security rhetoric, many people are fine with adopting Chinese AI models.
"Everyone: America America America, we must win AI, national security, etc etc," he posted, adding that the moment decent models from China come, people start supporting the model on their platforms.&nbsp;
"It's so great! So cheap, so fast, such good rate limits," he concluded the post sarcastically noting the appeal of Chinese models.

Why It Matters: The concerns raised by the Google executive come amid China&#8217;s rapid advancements in AI technology.
A survey conducted in July 2024 revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39702149/china-dominates-global-generative-ai-adoption-as-local-startups-face-fierce-competition-from-the-lik">83% of Chinese companies</a> are using generative AI, far surpassing the global average. China has also established a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42144915/china-unveils-global-ai-governance-committee-with-alibaba-cloud-founder-at-the-helm">Global AI Governance Committee</a> to influence AI&#8217;s global development.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
In July 2024, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/one-of-americas-hottest-entertainment-apps-is-chinese-owned-04257355?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reported</a> that Talkie, an English-language app tied to a Singapore-based company, is a subsidiary of Shanghai-based MiniMax, one of China's prominent tech unicorns. Talkie was among America&#8217;s more popular entertainment apps.
Rather than using MiniMax&#8217;s proprietary engine, it relied on ChatGPT-maker OpenAI&#8217;s foundation model. However, it generates tangible revenue for MiniMax.
Despite U.S. restrictions on advanced chip sales, Open-source AI models developed in China, like DeepSeek and Alibaba Group Holdings&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Qwen, have seen remarkable global adoption, including among developers in the U.S.
Last year, Alibaba&#8217;s Qwen emerged as the most downloaded open-source AI model, with its platform hosting more than 75,000 derivative models, <a href="https://www.thewirechina.com/2024/12/08/chinese-ai-companies-are-catching-up-despite-u-s-restrictions-chinas-ai-models/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reported</a> The Wire China.
At the close of 2024, Alibaba Cloud made its third generative AI price cut of the year, reducing costs by an astonishing 85%. Alibaba Cloud's new multimodal AI is 83.6% more affordable than OpenAI's GPT-4o, priced at $2.50 per million input tokens while delivering comparable performance.
Moreover, Chinese large language models rank among the most widely used on Hugging Face, a leading platform for AI models.
