Why Zoomcar Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 142%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Amid a booming interest in artificial intelligence, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has witnessed an unprecedented surge in retail investor dollars in 2024. This influx has positioned Nvidia as the most-purchased stock by individual investors, overtaking other popular equities.
What Happened: Retail traders have injected nearly $30 billion into Nvidia this year, as of Dec. 17. This amount is almost twice the net inflows compared to the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), a broad U.S. market benchmark, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/25/nvidia-sees-remarkable-influx-of-retail-investor-dollars-as-traders-flock-to-ai-darling.html">reported</a> on Thursday
The allure of Nvidia for retail investors stems from its robust performance and leadership in artificial intelligence. The stock has surged over 180% in 2024, elevating it into the elite group of companies with market caps exceeding $3 trillion.

Vanda Research&#8217;s Marco Iachini highlighted that Nvidia&#8217;s stock has outperformed Tesla Inc. , the previous retail favorite, due to its remarkable price gains. Despite some recent volatility, Nvidia remains a crucial holding for many individual investors, with its weight in the average portfolio increasing significantly this year.
Why It Matters: The surge in retail investment in Nvidia comes ahead of the company&#8217;s upcoming CES 2025 keynote is anticipated to be a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42677149/nvidia-ces-2025-keynote-how-to-watch-jensen-huang-unveil-the-rtx-5000-series-gpus"> major tech event.</a> The keynote, led by CEO Jensen Huang, is expected to unveil the RTX 5000 Series GPUs, further solidifying Nvidia&#8217;s position as a leader in the AI and tech space. This event is generating significant excitement in the tech community.
at a time when the company is making significant strides in the tech industry. Recently, Nvidia shares saw a boost following the Biden administration&#8217;s announcement of a trade investigation into China&#8217;s semiconductor industry. The investigation<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42660079/nvidia-shares-are-on-the-rise-today-whats-going-on">, focusing on China&#8217;s production</a> and trade practices for &#8220;legacy&#8221; semiconductors, could lead to increased U.S. tariffs, potentially benefiting U.S. semiconductor producers.

Nvidia Surpasses Tesla As Retail Investors' Top Pick In 2024: Individual Shareholders Pour Nearly $30B Into Jensen Huang's AI Giant

Electric vehicle sales are expected to outperform combustion engine vehicle sales in China in 2025, outrunning the pace of EV adoption in the U.S. and Europe.
What Happened: Beijing had set a target in 2020 for EVs to account for 50% of car sales by 2035. However, as <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0ebdd69f-68ea-40f2-981b-c583fb1478ef">per</a> Financial Times, the target would be reached next year, ten years ahead of schedule.
As per the report, EV sales in China, including battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (together referred to as new energy vehicles or NEVs), will rise by 20% year-on-year to over 12 million cars next year.
Combustion engine vehicle sales, meanwhile, will fall by over 10% to less than 11 million, the report said, citing estimates by investment banks UBS and HSBC and research groups Morningstar and Wood Mackenzie.
This marks a stark contrast to the situation in Europe and the U.S. where EV demand is slowing down. 
Why It Matters: China is the world&#8217;s biggest car market and also Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42308566/tesla-researcher-sees-drop-in-sales-in-europe-us-bring-down-global-deliveries-in-2024-despite-rise-in-china">second biggest market after the U.S. </a>Major EV players in China will likely benefit from the rise in demand next year including BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), Geely Automobile Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYY#OTC">GELYY</a>), Tesla, Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), and others.
BYD, for instance, held 34.5% of China&#8217;s new energy market in the January-November period. Geely seconded BYD with an 8% market share and Tesla held the third position with a 6% market share.
According to data from the China Passenger Car Association, BYD sold 417,232 new energy passenger vehicles in China in November on retail. Tesla and Geely sold 73,490 and 120,896 new energy vehicles, respectively, in the period.

China's EV Industry Likely To Outpace US And Allies, But Elon Musk's Tesla Could Still Make Gains

Billionaire entrepreneur and popular television personality Mark Cuban is a well-known Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) bull.
Over the years, the "Shark Tank" investor has used social media to voice favorable opinions about the meme cryptocurrency
What happened: In one such conversation on X back in Jan. 2022, Cuban argued that DOGE had greater transactional utility than Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the world's largest cryptocurrency.
"If you think you should HODL BTC because it is the future, why would you ever spend it," Cuban remarked in response to arguments about Bitcoin&#8217;s advantages in conducting fast and secure transactions.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">If you think you should hodl BTC because it is the future, why would you ever spend it? With DOGE, you are buying into a community that is fun. If it goes up in value, there are lots of places to spend it and it&#39;s like getting a discount. It&#39;s a non perishable lottery ticket
&mdash; Mark Cuban (@mcuban) <a href="https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1480774546047311873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 11, 2022</a></blockquote>

</figure>
"With DOGE, you are buying into a community that is fun. If it goes up in value, there are lots of places to spend it and it&#8217;s like getting a discount," the celebrity investor stated.&nbsp;
He also called DOGE a "non-perishable lottery ticket," emphasizing the speculative but utility aspect of the popular meme coin.
Meanwhile, data indicated Bitcoin&#8217;s popularity as a transaction medium. In November, Bitcoin had a nearly <a href="https://www.bitpay.com/stats" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">28% share</a> in total transactions recorded on the platform, compared to just 5.52% for DOGE,  according to the world's largest crypto payment service provider, BitPay.

When Cuban voiced this opinion, one unit of DOGE was priced at $0.153689. So, if you got swayed by his words and invested $1,000, it would have fetched you 6506.64 units of the cryptocurrency.
Today, one DOGE is worth $0.3247. This means that your stash would be worth $2112.70 at current market prices, marking a return of 111%.
Why It Matters: Unlike many top voices, Cuban has put his money where his mouth is.
During his tenure as the principal owner of the professional basketball team Dallas Mavericks, he<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36835819/mark-cubans-crypto-ama-dallas-mavericks-say-yes-to-doge-printer-go-brrr-his-crypto-holding"> started accepting Dogecoin as payment</a> for tickets and merchandise. In an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36835819/mark-cubans-crypto-ama-dallas-mavericks-say-yes-to-doge-printer-go-brrr-his-crypto-holding"> AMA session in January</a>, Cuban confirmed that the Mavs still accept the meme coin.
As of this writing, he doesn&#8217;t hold any DOGE in his cryptocurrency portfolio, according to <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/mark-cuban">data</a> from on-chain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence.
Apart from DOGE, Cuban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42545829/mark-cuban-expresses-sympathy-for-hawk-tuah-girl-amid-meme-coin-controversy-wasnt-something-she-fully-understood">doesn't support investments</a> in meme coins, describing them as a "game of musical chairs with money."
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was exchanging hands at $0.3247, down 2.08% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Shares of MicroStrategy plummeted 8.78% to $332.23 during Monday&#8217;s regular session but were up 1.35% in pre-market trading.
The stock has a consensus price target of $449.5 based on the ratings of 12 analysts, with an average price target of $546.67 between Bernstein, TD Cowen, and Barclays.

<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Insights From Analysts
Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates had said that Jerome Powell's hawkish stance did not inspire confidence. However, he believes that &#8220;A Santa Claus rally was subsequently sparked by the November PCE report, so the stock market is rallying into Christmas and should also rally into the New Year.&#8221;
&#8220;There is not a lot of economic news this week, but the good news is non-defense capital goods orders rose by 0.7% and have risen 2.1%, so there is a &#8216;green shoot&#8217; in the durable goods report. The Commerce Department reported that durable goods declined 1.1% in November due largely to a 12% decline in defense orders. Excluding transportation, durable goods orders declined by a more modest 0.1%,&#8221; he added.
According to Bespoke Investment Group &#8220;The S&amp;P has traded above its 200-DMA all year. This has happened 11 other times since 1952, and the next-year move has been about half the average. The last time this happened was in 2021, and before that, 2017.&#8221;

According to Wells Fargo, &#8220;The outlook for 2025 is riddled with uncertainty.&#8221; The note also added that &#8220;Ascertaining what level of policy restraint achieves the careful balance of keeping inflation in check and easing stress on interest-rate sensitive sectors will dominate the monetary policy discussion come 2025.&#8221;
