Ming-Chi Kuo, a renowned industry analyst, recently shared his insights on Intel&#8217;s Panther Lake production yield, suggesting room for improvement.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Kuo posted on X about the first batch of Panther Lake engineering samples, produced using Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and IFS&#8217; 18A advanced process node. These samples are currently being tested by major PC ODM/EMS manufacturers.
Kuo&#8217;s industry research indicates that the production yield of Panther Lake is less than 20-30% in early 2025, making it challenging to achieve mass production in the second half of the year. He also pointed out the challenges IFS faces in obtaining orders from external customers, such as organization/supply chain management and culture. In comparison, the analyst highlights Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) as a strong example.

The 18A node, featured in upcoming launches like Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest, is Intel's most cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing technology. However, Wall Street has eyes on the implementation of this project. However, with Kuo&#8217;s finding the success of this advanced process node remains questionable. Another big project that Intel is pinning its hope on is its Nova Lake due for release in 2026. Though the exact specifications are unclear, Nova Lake is said to resolve the memory latency issue that is severely impacting Arrow Lake. Meanwhile, Taiwan has denied receiving any application from TSMC regarding its acquisition of a stake in Intel. Taiwan&#8217;s economy minister, Kuo Jyh Huei, stated on Tuesday that the ministry had not received any information regarding an overseas investment application from a Taiwanese chipmaker, as reported by Reuters. Intel stock dropped more than 5% in Tuesday&#8217;s trading session. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43959030/intel-corporation-shares-are-down-today-whats-going-on">recent market uncertainties</a>, including potential chip export restrictions to China and the CHIPS Act, have added pressure on the semiconductor giant.

Tesla launched the refreshed Model Y first in China and in its primary U.S. market only a few days later. In the U.S., vehicle deliveries are expected to start in March.
In China, the refreshed vehicle starts at 263,500 yuan, nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42905406/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-in-china-amid-rising-competition">5.4% pricier </a>than the older version of the vehicle which started at 249,900 yuan.

What Happened: The airline has now installed Starlink Wi-Fi on its 30th aircraft, just four months after launching the world's first Boeing 777 Starlink-enabled flight.
This marks a major acceleration in the airline's rollout plans, far exceeding its initial goal of 12 installations in 2024.
Initially, the airline planned to complete the entire Boeing 777 fleet upgrade in two years, but thanks to process optimizations, the full rollout will now be completed by the second quarter of 2025, the company said on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) CEO Adam Aron said that the world's biggest streamers are rethinking their approach to the big screen—Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are fully on board, but Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) still needs convincing.
What Happened: "There are streamers and then there are streamers," Aron said during AMC's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43958798/amc-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-attendance-up-20-shares-climb">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call.&nbsp;
The CEO noted that both companies have shown enthusiasm for theatrical distribution, with Amazon significantly expanding its distribution team to boost film releases.
Apple is also gearing up for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/22/06/27599992/top-gun-maverick-director-to-team-up-with-apple-brad-pitt-for-formula-1-movie">release of the movie</a> &#8220;F1,&#8221; directed by Joe Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, which is expected to be a major hit.

Aron said that the industry is recognizing the value of theatrical releases, as movies that perform well in theaters often become popular on streaming platforms.
He stated that while Apple and Amazon are embracing this trend, Netflix has been less enthusiastic. "We would love to be able to convince Netflix that embracing theatrical releases is good for them."&nbsp;
He pointed out that Netflix had previously tested the waters with "Glass Onion" and now "Narnia," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43063274/imax-secures-netflix-deal-for-exclusive-narnia-theatrical-release-stock-jumps">which will screen on</a> IMAX Corp. (NYSE: IMAX0 screens.

Why It Matters:&nbsp; In the fourth quarter, AMC reported revenue of $1.31 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.3 billion.
While AMC CEO seems to be encouraging streamers and theatres collaboration, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos last year said that blockbuster films like &#8220;Barbie&#8221; and &#8220;Oppenheimer&#8221; would have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/39024178/barbie-and-oppenheimer-wouldve-hit-just-as-big-on-netflix-says-ted-sarandos-but-social-medi">equally successful on their platform</a>.
His statement sparked a debate about the role of theaters in a streaming-dominated era.&nbsp;
In October also, Sarandos defended Netflix&#8217;s strategy of largely bypassing theatrical releases saying, "I'm just going to reiterate, we are in the subscriptions streaming business, and you can see our results. It's a pretty good business and it appeals to a very large segment of consumers and fans."
In January 2025, Netflix reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-record-subscribers-nfl-squid-game-push-past-highest-expectations">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $10.25 billion, marking a 16% year-over-year increase and exceeding the Street consensus estimate of $10.11 billion.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, AMC stock rose 0.91% to $3.30. Earlier on Tuesday, it closed at $3.27, down 2.68% for the day. Meanwhile, Netflix stock edged up 0.13% in after-hours trading after closing at $977.24 on Tuesday, reflecting a 1.14% decline for the day, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

AMC CEO Says Apple And Amazon Are Warming Up To Theatrical Releases But This Streaming Giant Still Isn't Convinced

On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) must <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43723246/meta-faces-backlash-as-laid-off-workers-say-they-were-unfairly-targeted-despite-strong-performance-records">face a lawsuit</a> alleging it systematically favors foreign workers.
What Happened: U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler in San Francisco allowed a proposed class-action lawsuit to proceed, brought by Purushothaman Rajaram, Ekta Bhatia, and Qun Wang, who claim Meta rejected them in favor of foreign workers despite their qualifications, reported Reuters.
The plaintiffs argue that Meta has a pattern of prioritizing visa holders for employment, a claim supported by court-cited statistics: 15% of Meta's U.S. workforce holds H-1B visas, compared to 0.5% across all industries.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43962882/meta-gears-up-for-ai-dominance-with-200-billion-data-center-project-report">Meta Gears Up For AI Dominance With $200 Billion Data Center Project: Report</a>
Meta denied the allegations, stating the claims are "baseless" and that there is no evidence it intended to discriminate.
Why It Matters: The lawsuit against Meta comes amid a backdrop of ongoing debates over using <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42715951/trump-backs-immigration-visas-musk-praises-his-stance-and-says-rising-tide-lifts-all-boats">H-1B visas in the tech industry</a>.&nbsp;
In 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order temporarily suspending new H-1B visas, arguing they should go only to highly skilled, well-paid workers and not replace Americans.
A federal judge struck down the order, prompting his administration to impose stricter eligibility rules and higher salary requirements. Another judge later blocked some of those changes.
In December 2024, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42715951/trump-backs-immigration-visas-musk-praises-his-stance-and-says-rising-tide-lifts-all-boats">defended the program</a>, saying, "I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It's a great program."
Amazon topped the list of H-1B visa sponsors in fiscal year 2024, filing 10,969 Labor Condition Applications (LCA) with an average salary of $149,812, according to myvisajobs.com's ranking of the top 200 employers.
Cognizant Technology Solutions followed with 8,688 applications and an average salary of $101,773, while Ernst &amp; Young filed 8,674 applications, offering an average of $143,378. Tata Consultancy Services and Google rounded out the top five, with 8,120 and 7,649 applications, respectively. Google offered the highest average salary among them at $178,184.
Other major tech firms on the list include Microsoft (6,649 applications, $163,672 average salary), Meta (4,566 applications, $199,944), and Intel (3,242 applications, $145,250).

Meta Hit with Lawsuit Claiming It Favors Foreign Workers Over US Citizens — Mark Zuckerberg-Led Tech Giant Calls It 'Baseless'

On Tuesday, Sempra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>) reported fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.50, up from&nbsp;$1.13&nbsp;in the prior-year quarter, but <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43937720/sempra-reports-2024-financial-and-business-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus of $1.60</a>. Revenue of $3.758 billion missed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $4.36 billion</a>.



Natural gas revenues rose to $2.34 billion from $1.935 billion, Electric revenue rose to $1.027 billion from $1.003 billion, and Energy-related business revenue declined to $388 million from $553 million a year ago.



Dividend: The board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.645 per share on common stock, payable on April 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2025. This raises the annualized dividend to $2.58 per share, up from $2.48 in 2024.



As of December 31, cash and cash equivalent stood at $1.57 billion.



Outlook: Sempra projects a record five-year capital plan of around $56 billion for 2025-2029, marking a 16% increase from its previous plan, with more than 90% of the capital allocated to regulated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">utility investments in Texas and California</a>.



Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and CEO of Sempra, said, &#8221;Over half of planned capital expenditures are earmarked for&nbsp;Texas, where significant new investments are needed to expand and modernize the energy grid. This is consistent with Sempra&#8217;s 2030 aspirations of producing over 50% of its earnings from the&nbsp;State of Texas.&#8221;



Outlook: The company revised 2025 EPS guidance to $4.30-$4.70 (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41771750" rel="noreferrer noopener">from&nbsp;$4.90-$5.25</a>) vs. consensus of $5.15, factoring in recent regulatory matters and a higher-cost environment.



The company issued EPS guidance for 2026 of $4.80-$5.30, representing a 12% year-over-year increase from the midpoint of the 2025 guidance. Additionally, Sempra is raising its projected long-term EPS growth rate to 7% to 9%.
