Intel also plans to claim the U.S. Treasury Department's Investment Tax Credit, which is expected to be up to 25% of qualified investments of more than $100 billion.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly changing its approach to software updates. The tech giant appears to be opting for staggered rollouts of new features instead of bundling everything into annual iOS releases.
What Happened: In his latest weekly "Power On" newsletter, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman said that Cupertino plans a significant update with iOS 18.4 this spring.
However, several features that were initially set for the latter half of 2025 are now delayed.
Previously, the analyst reported that the much-anticipated Siri overhaul, which aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/42129847/apple-prepares-to-take-on-openais-chatgpt-google-gemini-live-with-llm-siri-in-2025-report">incorporate in-house</a> LLMs for a more conversational assistant, was also pushed back. 
Beyond LLMS, a larger-than-usual number of features for iOS 19 are also postponed till spring 2026. That's around when iOS 19.4 will be released, said Gurman in the newsletter.

Why It Matters: Earlier this month, Cupertino alerted investors about the potential uncertainty in the profitability of its future products, including AI and virtual reality.
In its updated annual report, Apple included a new &#8220;risk factors&#8221; section, highlighting that some of its upcoming products may <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41773589/apple-signals-profit-risks-in-ai-and-vr-shift-what-it-means-for-investors">not achieve the same revenue</a> and profit margins as its flagship product, the iPhone.
Apple reported fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $94.9 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $94.56 billion. The company also posted adjusted earnings of $1.64 per share, beating the anticipated $1.60 per share.
This marked the seventh straight quarter that Apple has outperformed analyst forecasts for both revenue and earnings, <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.
During the earnings call at the time, Apple CEO Tim Cook shared that the adoption rate of iOS 18.1 is double that of iOS 17.1.
During the same call, Apple CFO Luca Maestri was asked about the company's capital expenditure outlook, particularly concerning investments in private cloud computing and AI.
What Analysts Are Saying: Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng inquired whether these investments could affect Apple&#8217;s typical annual capex range of around $10 billion.
In response, Maestri explained that Apple uses a hybrid model for its data centers, combining both proprietary and third-party resources. This makes its capex numbers distinct from other companies.
He confirmed that Apple is already investing in infrastructure to support its AI-related features, with additional spending planned for fiscal year 2025.
In its 10-K filing filed in November, Apple reported research and development expenses of $31.37 billion, rising 5% over 2023.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock rose 1.31% on Monday, closing at $232.87, but dipped 0.18% in after-hours trading. Year-to-date, the company&#8217;s shares have increased by 25.44%, slightly trailing the Nasdaq 100 index, which has gained 25.8%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

In a recent investor webinar,&nbsp;Cathie Wood&nbsp;shared her perspective on how a potential second term for&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;might influence the IPO market. 
What Happened: Wood expressed optimism about the future direction of the market.
&#8220;If the market continues to move forward in the way we believe it will…we believe that the IPO market will open up and that will give us a chance, lots of opportunities to diversify our portfolios and it will give our venture funds liquidity events that they have not enjoyed during the last four years,&#8221; she said.
Her comments, made during a session released on Friday, come at a time when the market is experiencing increased volatility that anticipated the effect of a second term of Trump on the Wall Street.

&#8220;The IPO market is what the IPO market is. And if the 10 year is back to 4.5-5%, that&#8217;s not a compelling strategy for some SaaS company or some internet business that didn&#8217;t take an opportunity to go public when rates were at zero. So if you just look mathematically at what the actual fair value of these companies should be, I don&#8217;t know, it&#8217;s not like such a great IPO market,&#8221; he said during one of the recent episodes of the All-In Podcast.
Investors are keenly observing which of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41869001/heres-how-trumps-policies-might-shape-the-markets-future"> Trump&#8217;s campaign promises</a> might translate into policy actions. While some pledges, like reducing corporate taxes and deregulation, could benefit the economy and stock prices, others, such as strict immigration policies and high tariffs, might pose economic challenges.
Former Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Larry Summers&nbsp;has warned that Trump&#8217;s proposed economic policies could lead to significant economic disruption. In a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42180906/larry-summers-warns-trump-policies-could-trigger-far-larger-stimulus-to-inflation-than-bidens-actions-as-sp-500-surges-markets-go-up-markets-go-down">recent interview</a>, Summers expressed concerns about the potential for a massive demand-side stimulus and substantial supply-side disruptions. He emphasized that if implemented, Trump&#8217;s program could result in a larger inflation stimulus than any measures enacted by President&nbsp;Joe Biden.
Price Action: Meanwhile, S&amp;P 500 and NASDAQ tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) have gained 2.88% and 2.26% respectively, in the month of November.

Cathie Wood Bets On Thriving IPO Market Under Trump: 'Will Give...Liquidity Events That They Have Not Enjoyed During The Last Four Years'

Cryptocurrency markets are on the cusp of a potentially transformative period, with leading analysts forecasting a significant surge in alternative cryptocurrencies driven by complex <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42179986/bitcoin-dogecoin-reverse-ethereum-gains-as-stocks-touch-new-peaks-top-analyst-anticipates-no-major-correction-for-btc-until-135k">economic indicators and market sentiment</a>.
What Happened: Mikybull, a prominent crypto trader, offered an intricate market perspective on X, emphasizing that if Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continues hovering around the $95,000-$94,000 range, alternative cryptocurrencies will likely experience substantial performance. 
He boldly <a href="https://x.com/MikybullCrypto/status/1861286914227052863">proclaimed</a> that the &#8220;Altcoins dominance&#8221; has climbed above the trend ribbon, signaling an impending outperformance in the coming weeks.
The trader further predicted that Ethereum&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) next rally to $6,000 has already commenced, suggesting that the &#8220;Altseason storm&#8221; is about to reach its next intensity level. This forecast comes amid a dynamic market landscape where cryptocurrencies are responding to nuanced economic signals.

Michaël van de Poppe, another crypto analyst, provided deeper insights into Ethereum&#8217;s remarkable performance. He highlighted a &#8220;massive bullish divergence&#8221; in Ethereum&#8217;s market behavior, directly linking its outperformance to dropping government bond yields. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

Poppe emphasized that the sole reason for Ethereum&#8217;s significant movement is the impact of yield markets, creating a complex interplay between traditional financial instruments and digital assets.

Looking ahead, Poppe anticipates that the upcoming Labor Market Week could be pivotal. He suggests that potentially weak labor market data might prompt the Federal Reserve to implement more rate cuts, consequently driving down yields and potentially propelling Ethereum&#8217;s valuation.
Why It Matters: Current market data from the CME FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a> indicates shifting rate cut probabilities. The likelihood of a rate cut at the Dec. 18 Federal Reserve meeting has decreased to 55.9% from 74.6% a month ago, with the current federal funds rate sitting between 450-475 basis points.
The cryptocurrency landscape has witnessed notable movements, with Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42179986/bitcoin-dogecoin-reverse-ethereum-gains-as-stocks-touch-new-peaks-top-analyst-anticipates-no-major-correction-for-btc-until-135k">breaking past $3,500 for the first time</a> in four months. This rally triggered strong inflows into Ether spot exchange-traded funds, totaling $283,000, while Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows exceeding $684 million.
Traders define &#8220;Altcoin Season&#8221; as a period when 75% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42030200/bitcoin-dominance-decline-expected-next-month-analyst-projects-altseason-to-peak-by-march-2025">alternative cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin</a>—a threshold that indicators suggest that the market may be rapidly approaching.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Monday slammed California&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42175967/whats-going-on-with-tesla-stock-today-3">plans to shut the company&#8217;s electric vehicles out</a> from consumer rebates under a new proposal, calling it an &#8220;insane&#8221; decision.
What Happened: According to a Bloomberg&nbsp;report, California Governor&nbsp;Gavin Newsom&nbsp;outlined a new proposal on Monday to offer incentives for EV buyers in California if President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;gets rid of the current federal $7,500 tax break for EV buyers when he returns to the White House early next year.
Newsom's team reportedly told Bloomberg that the new proposal includes "market-share limitations" that would exclude Tesla's popular EV models from tax credit eligibility.
&#8220;It&#8217;s about creating the market conditions for more of these car makers to take route,&#8221;&nbsp;the governor's office reportedly said while adding that the details could change following negotiations with the state legislature.

Musk responded to the report on social media platform X and wrote, &#8220;Even though Tesla is the only company who manufactures their EVs in California! This is insane.&#8221; The CEO added that the move would hurt jobs in California. 
U.S. representative from California&#8217;s 17th congressional district Ro Khanna also warned against the proposal in a social media post.
&#8220;Tesla makes over 550,000 vehicles in Fremont in my district &amp; employs over 20,000. Let&#8217;s not play politics with keeping manufacturing in California. It would be foolish to exclude Tesla,&#8221; Khanna wrote while also recounting the time the Biden administration kept Tesla and Musk out of a 2021 EV summit, subsequently turning the billionaire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41705641/elon-musks-mother-slams-biden-snubbing-tesla-at-ev-summit-3-years-ago-as-the-worst-thing-that-happen">towards Trump and the Republican Party</a>.

Why It Matters: Tesla makes Model 3, Y, S, and X at the Fremont factory in California. The factory has a currently installed annual vehicle capacity of over 650,000 units. 
Last month, Musk said that Tesla started manufacturing in California despite the higher cost because he lived in the state.
Tesla bought its Fremont Factory from&nbsp;Toyota Motor&nbsp;in 2010. It was previously owned by&nbsp;NUMMI, a joint venture between&nbsp;General Motors&nbsp;and Toyota which ended when GM entered bankruptcy in 2009.
Musk has long been critical of California. He moved Tesla&#8217;s headquarters from California to Austin a few years ago citing disagreements with state policies.
Price Action: Tesla stock fell nearly 4% on Monday to close at $338.59, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>. Year-to-date, the Tesla stock is up 36.3%.

Contrary to growing concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42180906/larry-summers-warns-trump-policies-could-trigger-far-larger-stimulus-to-inflation-than-bidens-actions-as-sp-500-surges-markets-go-up-markets-go-down">potential inflationary pressures</a> under President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, top economist Steve Hanke dismisses fears of a significant price surge, citing monetary policy and money supply as critical factors.
What Happened: In a recent interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/11/25/trumps-deregulation-will-not-affect-inflation-says-professor-of-economics.html">CNBC</a>, Hanke argued that the inflation trajectory depends more on Federal Reserve actions than proposed economic policies. &#8220;All this talk about Trump&#8217;s policies causing inflation to kick up again is just nonsense,&#8221; Hanke stated.
Hanke highlighted a critical economic indicator: the U.S. money supply, which has contracted since 2022. Historically, such contractions have preceded economic downturns. &#8220;The money supply is growing at 2.6% year-over-year, below my golden growth rate of 6%,&#8221; he explained.
The economist predicts inflation will fall below the Fed&#8217;s 2% target in 2025, challenging warnings from economists like former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who anticipates potential inflationary risks from proposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42180906/larry-summers-warns-trump-policies-could-trigger-far-larger-stimulus-to-inflation-than-bidens-actions-as-sp-500-surges-markets-go-up-markets-go-down">tax cuts and trade policies</a>.

Why It Matters: Hanke praised the potential administration&#8217;s focus on economic deregulation, suggesting it could enhance GDP growth without triggering significant inflation. He referenced Scott Bessent, Trump&#8217;s potential Treasury Secretary pick, who has proposed strategies to mitigate potential inflationary impacts.
