$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Ryan Reynolds, the guy most people know as Deadpool, has quietly been building an empire worth talking about. While his comedic timing and charm have made him a Hollywood darling, his business moves might be even more impressive.&nbsp;
Forbes recently reported that the companies he's co-owned or sold are valued at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36875491/ryan-reynolds-co-owned-or-sold-companies-are-valued-at-14-billion-but-he-says-thank-god-i-am-not-run">jaw-dropping $14 billion</a>. That's right – billion with a B. And yet, when asked about his role in these ventures, Reynolds casually quipped, "Thank God I am not running the company." Humble much?+
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
</ul>
The man's portfolio is as eclectic as it gets: an F1 team, a football club (the other kind of football), a gin brand, a wireless provider and even an advertising agency. It's not just about slapping his name on a product either. Reynolds has mastered the art of turning everyday businesses into cultural phenomena, often using his signature wit and relatability to make it happen.
Take Aviation American Gin, for example. When Reynolds bought a stake, he didn't just throw money at it – he became the face and voice of the brand. His tongue-in-cheek marketing campaigns helped skyrocket its popularity, ultimately leading to its $610 million sale to Diageo in 2020. That's not a win; that's a master class in branding.
Then there's Mint Mobile. Under Reynolds' watchful eye (and cheeky commercials), the wireless provider went from a scrappy underdog to a billion-dollar success story. When T-Mobile acquired it for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40105515/ryan-reynolds-sold-2-companies-for-2-billion-now-hes-investing-in-clothing-cant-be-good-at-something">$1.35 billion in 2023,</a> Reynolds stayed on as a spokesperson because he knows a good gig when he sees one.

But Reynolds isn't pretending to be some business genius. In fact, he's refreshingly candid about how much he doesn't know. When discussing his investment in fintech company Nuvei Corp. on Squawk Box, he admitted, "I know nothing about fintech," adding with a laugh, "Thank God I am not running the company." Instead, he leans on strong teams and "emotional investing." Translation: He bets on brands with good stories to tell and the potential to resonate with consumers personally.
As Reynolds explained, "How does this happen if you look at a gin company, a wireless company and a Welsh football club? They don't go together, but they all had strong brand foundations." He has a knack for spotting opportunities where others might not, turning those opportunities into authentic, memorable narratives.

In an August 2018 interview on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon asked Ryan Reynolds how he got involved with Aviation Gin. With his trademark humor, Reynolds explained, "It's an American gin. Little smoother than our British counterparts, little pro-drinkable." Then, catching himself, he joked, "Uh, wow, I sound like a pro." Fallon laughed and agreed, prompting Reynolds to add, "I know nothing about gin. If I ran the company for real, it'd be on fire."
This mix of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/05/38811005/ryan-reynolds-sold-mint-mobile-for-1-35-billion-now-hes-invested-in-the-apparel-company-for-travis-k">intuition, humor and strategic marketing</a> makes his approach unique. It's also fueling his climb toward billionaire status – not bad for a guy who still jokes about being clueless half the time. Whether or not he officially joins the billionaire club soon, one thing's clear: Ryan Reynolds isn't just playing the game; he's rewriting the rules.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Ensign Group 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

A battle between Elon Musk and Sam Altman over the new course of OpenAI was one of the bigger stories for 2024 in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence sector.</a>
With the case far from closed, the well-known "Godfather of AI" Geoffrey Hinton is weighing in and taking sides.
What Happened: A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022920/sam-altman-slams-elon-musks-left-wing-bias-claims-over-chatgpt-responds-to-grok-vs-gpt-debate-with-bold-remarks-but-tesla-ceo-says-swindly-sam-is-at-it-again">push by OpenAI </a>to turn into a for-profit structure from a current nonprofit has prompted a legal attempt by Musk to block the change.
Musk, who is an original co-founder and investor in OpenAI, has spoken out about the planned for-profit change and is now gaining support from one of the biggest names in the AI sector.
"OpenAI was founded as an explicitly safety-focused nonprofit and made a variety of safety-related promises in its charter," Hinton said in a statement Monday published by youth-led advocacy group <a href="https://encodeai.org/encode-backs-legal-challenge-to-openais-for-profit-switch/">Encode</a>.
Hinton said OpenAI received benefits like tax breaks thanks to its nonprofit status.
"Allowing it to tear all of that up when it becomes inconvenient sends a very bad message to other actors in the ecosystem," Hinton said, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/31/business/geoffrey-hinton-backs-elon-musks-legal-battle-against-openai/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
Hinton, who won the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41233245/ai-godfather-geoffrey-hinton-wins-nobel-prize-for-artificial-intelligence-work-work-has-already-been">2024 Nobel Prize</a> in October, has spoken out against OpenAI in the past.
In October, Hinton said Altman is "much less concerned with safety than with profits." Hinton has also expressed regrets for his role in helping develop AI, which could now be used for negative items.
You may not be a billionaire like Mark Cuban, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42490690/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Founded in 2015 as a nonprofit research lab, OpenAI has become one of the largest companies by valuation in the space. The company created a capped-profit model in 2019 with the nonprofit holding control of the entire company.
The company has said that switching to a for-profit model will help "to raise the necessary capital with conventional terms like others in the space."
The lawsuit by Musk comes as he cut his relationship with OpenAI in 2018 and his lawsuit attempts come as he recently launched his own AI company xAI, a competitor to the company he co-founded.
Musk said that OpenAI executives "deceived" him in the past. OpenAI countered recently by saying Musk wanted a for-profit structure for the company in 2017.
The billionaire's lawsuit was first filed in early 2023 related to OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), which he alleged broke the company's nonprofit commitment.
Altman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42609769/elon-musk-is-a-legendary-entrepreneur-but-also-a-bully-says-openai-ceo-sam-altman-now-its-me-its-been-bezos-gates-zuckerberg-lots-of-other-people">recently showed appreciation</a> for what Musk did to help support OpenAI "in the early days," but shared new criticism of the billionaire.
"He's also clearly a bully and he's also someone who clearly likes to get in fights. Now it's me, it's been Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg lots of other people," Altman said.
In the battle against OpenAI, Musk has now gained recent support from Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and the &#8220;Godfather of AI,&#8221; which could make the fight against Altman and OpenAI a must-watch story in 2025.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Fair Isaac 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

One of the more unusual trades by a member of Congress in 2024 was Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) buying meme cryptocurrency Ski Mask Dog Coin (CRYPTO:SKI), which led to the crypto soaring in value and later hitting all-time highs shortly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42330146/congressman-buys-meme-coins-ski-mask-dog-coin-climbs-in-value-after-disclosure-i-liked-the-coins-so-i-bought-them"> after the disclosure.</a>
A new filing shows Collins bought more after his last disclosure.
What Happened: The trading activity of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/congress-trading">members of Congress</a> continues to be closely followed by investors as stock purchases can come ahead of key information and potential gains.
While members of Congress likely don't have the same alleged insider information when it comes to cryptocurrency, trading activity in the sector warrants close monitoring, especially when it involves a meme cryptocurrency valued at around $225 million.
On Jan. 1, Collins disclosed that he purchased another $1,000 to $15,000 worth of Ski Mask Dog, adding to his previous disclosures in early December that he bought $2,000 to $30,000 worth of the meme coin.
The transaction, which can be viewed on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades">Benzinga's Government Trades page</a>, came on Dec. 3. That means that the same day that Collins' previous disclosed purchases began hitting the news, the Congressman was buying more of the coin.
Collins' latest trade was once again marked as unusual by several prominent social media accounts that track congressional trading activity.
<ul>
<li>"BREAKING: US politician Michael Collins has yet again bought crypto. He bought up to $15,000 of SKI MASK DOG, $SKI, crypto. Unusual," Unusual Whales <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1874845104076390422">tweeted</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"Congressman @RepMikeCollins just disclosed he bought more Ski Mask Dog on 12/3, the same day news of his first purchase broke and the coin rallied. So a Congressman single-handedly moved a market, then bought more, and disclosed it a month later," Congresstrading <a href="https://x.com/congresstrading/status/1874851774856884636">tweeted</a>.</li>
</ul>
Collins previously confirmed the purchase with Decrypt and also responded to a previous tweet from Unusual Whales with a meme of Pepe the Frog, a well-known image in the crypto community thanks to the meme cryptocurrency Pepe.
&#8220;I liked the coins, so I bought them,&#8221; Collins previously told Decrypt. &#8220;Washington and Wall Street have stigmatized emerging technology in the crypto ecosystem for far too long, and it&#8217;s about time that we start treating the industry with the respect it deserves.&#8221;
When asked about meme coins and if they need to be disclosed by members of Congress for trading activity, Collins said yes.
&#8220;Meme coins should certainly be treated as any other asset, digital or otherwise.&#8221;

<li>Lawmakers Made Huge Investments This Year. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent123124">Get Tips On What They Bought And Sold Ahead Of The 2024 Election With Our Easy-to-Use Tool</a></li>
</ul>
Why It's Important: Ski Mask Dog coin rallied in December after Collins first purchase was disclosed.
The coin hit an all-time high of $0.3639 on Dec. 5 after the Congressman's first purchase disclosure. The latest trade disclosure shows that Collins also bought more Ski Mask Dog coin on Dec. 3 ahead of the all-time highs.
Collins, who won re-election in the 2024 election, has previously disclosed buying and selling cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Aerodrome (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AERO</a>), Velodrome (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">VELO</a>) and The Graph (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">GRT</a>).
Collins' purchases of Ethereum have been larger in recent disclosures compared to the meme coin he recently bought. The congressman has also disclosed selling some of the cryptocurrencies in the past, which could make the recent meme coin buy one to watch in case he later shows he sold it after the recent gains.
Calls to ban members of Congress from buying stocks and options have grown, with President Joe Biden recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42538504/biden-endorses-ban-of-congressional-stock-trading-nobody-in-the-congress-should-be-able-to-make-money-in-the-stock-market-while-in-office">endorsing a ban </a>on Congress trading.
When it comes to members of Congress buying and selling cryptocurrencies, there is less support and it is less mentioned in potential legislation.
&#8220;Nobody in the Congress should be able to make money in the stock market while they&#8217;re in the Congress,&#8221; Biden said, failing to mention cryptocurrency.
Members of Congress are currently allowed to buy and sell stocks, options, cryptocurrency and make other investments as long as they are disclosed in 45 days.
Collins' trade, which happened nearly 30 days ago and came as his past trade in the same coin may have led to the price soaring could spark interest in putting the same ban on cryptocurrency. With pro-crypto President-elect Donald Trump taking office later this month, more members of Congress could be looking to add cryptocurrency to their investment portfolios.
Ski Mask Dog, which began trading in 2024, is up 6% in the past day.
The meme cryptocurrency currently trades at $0.2246 at the time of writing Thursday, versus a one-month range of $0.1472 to $0.3639.

Running a small, family-owned business is already a challenge, but having a corporate giant like Dunkin&#8217; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNKN#NASDAQ">DNKN</a>) set up shop right next door takes it to another level. That's the reality for one coffee drive-thru owner, who recently <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/1hhes7t/i_own_a_small_family_owned_coffee_drive_thru/">shared</a> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42727607/a-homebuyer-posts-were-not-falling-for-this-again-issuing-a-warning-to-fellow-house-hunters-on-local-boards">their frustration on social media and sought advice</a>. The post received significant attention, with over a thousand people offering support and suggestions.
&#8220;I&#8217;m honestly a little shook up and angry,&#8221; the post began. &#8220;Does anyone have any advice on how I should approach this or what I should be feeling?&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a></li>
</ul>
The responses poured in, ranging from strategic advice to words of encouragement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turn Competition Into Opportunity</h2>
Several commenters pointed out that Dunkin&#8217;s decision to open nearby could actually validate the location&#8217;s potential. One user noted, &#8220;They thought the area was good enough for their third location, so it must be great for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38237838/bad-news-chocolate-and-coffee-lovers-prices-are-only-going-higher">coffee</a>. Use that to your advantage.&#8221; By drawing more coffee lovers to the area, Dunkin&#8217; might unintentionally bring new customers to the local drive-thru as well.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Double Down on Quality</h2>
The overwhelming consensus was to focus on what you do best. &#8220;Make better coffee, which you probably already do, understand what chains can&#8217;t offer and offer that. Cleaner, more comfortable eating area,&#8221; one commenter advised.&nbsp;
See Also: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
Others suggested emphasizing freshly made products, like pastries and specialty drinks, that big chains simply can&#8217;t replicate. &#8220;Dunkin&#8217; food and baked goods come packaged and frozen. A good local coffee joint that makes their food fresh every morning will get my business 100% of the time over a franchise like Dunkin, Starbucks or Tim Hortons,&#8221; said another.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lean Into Local Roots</h2>
Being a family-owned business offers a competitive edge that corporations can't match. One advice was to highlight community involvement: &#8220;I would develop some strong talking points about how you&#8217;re local, family-owned, keep the money in the community, etc., where Dunkin&#8217; is a corporation that sends your community&#8217;s hard-earned money back to HQ.&#8221; Others recommended showcasing the personal side of the business, like the faces behind the counter or stories about how the shop started.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Be Bold with Marketing</h2>
Several responses encouraged creative and even humorous marketing strategies. Ideas included putting up signs like &#8220;Support Local&#8221; or &#8220;Better Coffee, No Drive-Thru Lines.&#8221; One user suggested a tongue-in-cheek approach: &#8220;Put a sign out front: ‘Fresh 20oz coffee: $2.99 here. 20oz $4.99 coffee go there.'&#8221;
This small coffee drive-thru owner's story shows how hard it can be for small businesses to compete when big chains move in. But it also proves how creative and tough local business owners can be. As one commenter wisely said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t discount customer loyalty … a lot of folks don&#8217;t like big corporations coming in to try and hurt small, local businesses.&#8221;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Insmed Stock In The Last 10 Years

Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill announced Thursday that investigators now suspect the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42757028/tesla-cybertruck-ignites-outside-trump-international-hotel-in-las-vegas">explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck</a> outside the Trump International Hotel on New Year&#8217;s Day was likely a suicide.
Speaking at a news conference Thursday, McMahill revealed that evidence suggests the driver died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound moments before the vehicle exploded. A firearm was found at the driver's feet inside the charred vehicle, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/01/02/las-vegas-explosion-tesla-cybertruck-trump-hotel-colorado/">according to</a> the Washington Post.
Authorities are still working to confirm the driver's identity, as the body was burned beyond recognition. Preliminary evidence, they said, points to 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger of Colorado Springs. 
Livelsberger was a Special Forces soldier on leave from a mission in Germany at the time of his death. He first enlisted in 2006 and had served multiple deployments, including to Afghanistan, the newspaper reported.
The FBI, as part of its Joint Terrorism Task Force, is investigating the case, which included searching a Colorado Springs residence on Thursday connected to the incident, though no further details were provided. "This activity is related to the explosion in Las Vegas," the FBI said in a statement.
Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk said on X that Tesla&#8217;s senior team is involved and has shared video footage from charging stations across the country.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Colleagues Shocked</h2>
Livelsberger's colleagues and former commanders expressed shock. Speaking on the condition of anonymity due to his work in the U.S. government, one soldier described Livelsberger as warm and caring, the Washington Post reported. 
Livelsberger held the rank of master sergeant and was assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group based in Colorado Springs.
Surveillance footage and Tesla data helped authorities track the Cybertruck's journey from Colorado to Las Vegas. The vehicle, rented in Colorado, arrived at the Trump Hotel around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. It detonated an hour later. Video shared by authorities shows the truck, loaded with firework mortars and gas canisters, erupting in a fiery explosion near the hotel's entrance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FBI Says No Link Between Las Vegas, NOLA Attack</h2>
Meanwhile, the FBI addressed concerns over potential links between this incident and a separate attack in New Orleans earlier this week. 
"There is no definitive link between the attack here in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas," Christopher Raia, deputy assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division, said at a Thursday news conference on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42769136/turo-used-for-new-orleans-las-vegas-attacks-we-are-devastated-by-these-horrible-incidents">the New Orleans attack</a>.

Tesla Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump Las Vegas Hotel Was Likely Suicide, Authorities Say

Key Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analysts and influencers are out with their takes on the company's fourth-quarter delivery figures, which missed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on">analyst consensus estimates.</a>
Here's a look at what they are saying and why 2025 could be a make-or-break year.
Daniel Ives on TSLA: Wedbush analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dan-ives">Daniel Ives</a>, who is one of the biggest Tesla bulls on Wall Street, shared his take on Tesla's fourth-quarter delivery figures.
"TSLA announced its Q4 delivery numbers of 495.6k vehicles, below the Street's whisper number of ~500k. While knee jerk stock will be down, we view these as respectable numbers with all of our focus on the 2025 growth story and autonomous vision. Buyers today on any sell-off," Ives <a href="https://x.com/DivesTech/status/1874825698088722761">tweeted</a>.
Ives maintained an Outperform rating on Tesla with a $515 price target, as <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1874825337894285750">shared </a>by Sawyer Merritt on X.
"We remain highly confident in Tesla's ability to accelerate delivery growth into FY25 with 20%-30% growth," Ives wrote in a new note.
Ross Gerber on TSLA: Tesla investor and Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ross-gerber">Ross Gerber </a>took exception to the tweet from Ives above.
"Excuses. They used every discount they had to move vehicles and still couldn't. These Tesla numbers suck. No spin. Sorry," Gerber <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1874829802097774881">tweeted </a>while sharing Ives' post.
Gerber went on to <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1874830269154513235">criticize </a>Tesla's FSD v13 in another post and said the self-driving technology doesn't come close to Waymo's technology.
"No excuses FSD is not close."
Responding to a user who replied to Gerber's FSD post, the investment manager said, "close means nothing when it's people's life at risk."
"One can make excuses all day for Tesla but 2025 will be the prove it year… Can they grow sales? Can they grow profits ? Can they solve FSD? Can they make a new vehicle that is successful?&#8221; another Gerber <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1874830913366048871">post </a>said.
Gerber <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41999238/long-time-tesla-bull-rages-as-elon-musk-reportedly-backs-trumps-plan-to-ax-7-5k-ev-credit-insanity">recently took exception</a> to news that Tesla CEO Elon Musk backs the elimination of the $7,500 EV tax credit, calling it "insanity."

Gene Munster on TSLA: Deepwater Asset Management co-founder <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gene-munster">Gene Munster</a> said the "small" miss by Tesla Thursday doesn't matter to the long-term investment case for the stock.
"While Elon is focusing investors on autonomy, EV's still matter given those cars are the foundation of autonomy," Munster <a href="https://x.com/munster_gene/status/1874825401236934951">said</a>.
The investor said the deliveries figure missed the Street consensus by around 1%.
"All eyes now shift to Tesla earnings on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Besides the usual focus on margins, investors will be listening for updates to Musk delivery expectations for CY25."
Munster said one of the key questions is what Tesla and other EV companies' demand will look like outside of tax credits.
"I believe we'll be exiting the EV winter in 2025, and the segment will grow around 15% in 2025."
With Tesla shares falling Thursday, Munster suggested that part of the three-month rally in the stock&#8217;s price may have been driven by emotion. Similarly, he attributed Thursday&#8217;s decline to emotional reactions as well.
"While I'm bracing for a further pullback going into the January 29th earnings, I continue to believe that shares are undervalued over the long-term given Tesla's doing more in AI than any non-native AI company." 
The Delivery Figures: Tesla produced 459,445 vehicles and delivered 495,570 vehicles in the fourth quarter.
The delivery figure missed a street consensus estimate of 506,763 units, which Tesla shared <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/24/12/42745852/tesla-q4-delivery-preview-will-2024-stock-gains-hold-as-growth-slows">ahead of the report.</a>
Tesla had deliveries of 484,507 in last year's fourth quarter.
With the new report, Tesla's full-year delivery total is now 1.79 million units for 2024, down from a record 1.81 million in 2023. Tesla needed to report fourth-quarter deliveries of around 515,000 units to beat the 2023 full year total.
Thursday's report was the first time Tesla's annual delivery total has declined on a year-over-year basis.
Tesla previously said it expected to post growth in vehicle deliveries in 2024 and fell shy of that mark.
The comments from Ives, Gerber and Munster highlight the importance of 2025 in getting the company back on track with vehicle growth and other upcoming catalysts.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock was down 6% to $379.28 on Thursday, versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock was up around 62% in 2024.
