EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will increase the prices of its entire car lineup starting Feb. 1. The prices of the Model 3 are expected to rise by as much as C$9000 (about $6,253).
What Happened: While Model Y prices will increase by up to C$4000 on Feb 1, Model 3 prices will increase by up to C$9000, the company said in announcements on its Canadian website.
The company said that the starting price on all variants of Model X and Model S will increase by C$4000 starting next month, without offering a reason for the price hike. Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8216;s request for comment.
There are no warnings for a possible price hike on the Cybertruck. 
Why It Matters: The EV giant does not manufacture in Canada but imports vehicles from its factories outside the country. The Canadian government levies 100% tariffs on all EVs manufactured in China and sold in the country, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40619796/tesla-appealed-for-reduced-tariffs-on-its-china-made-evs-in-canada-similar-to-eu-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including Tesla EVs</a>.
Earlier this month, the company increased the price of all Model Y and Model 3 variants in Canada by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42937389/tesla-hikes-model-3-y-prices-in-canada-by-c1000-after-announcing-price-increase-in-china">C$1,000</a>.

Tesla To Raise Prices In Canada: Model 3 Sees Up To $6,200 Hike

The market continues to see an uptick in volatility while simultaneously printing higher stock prices. This usually means there is a topping formation in progress. That said, financials continue to move constructively northward and the heels of earnings for American Express (AXP) take place on Friday morning.
So today we're looking at a bullish trade on AXP's earnings.
Today's trade will be a long call butterfly spread. When we position with long call butterfly spreads, we attempt to collect a premium that is generated by a strong move in the underlying stock's chart. We offset the cost of the long calls into earnings with a short call spread that mitigates some of the risk premium incurred taking the position
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trade structure – the long call butterfly with a twist</h2>
The long call butterfly consists of two spreads – a long call spread and a short call spread that attempts to capture the potential upward spike in price from the earnings release. To help pay for this position we will sell a short call spread to collect a premium.
AXP's stock price is currently range bound with resistance near $340 and support near $300. With that in mind, here's the trade:
<ul>
<li>Buy to open 1 AXP 21 Feb 330 calls</li>
<li>Sell to open 1 AXP 21 Feb 340 calls</li>
<li>Buy to open 1 AXP 21 Feb 345 calls</li>
</ul>
At this writing the debit cost is $1.90 and the maximum profit will be the distance between the first two strikes (330 and 340), which is $10, less the cost of $1.90 = $8.10 or $810. Notice, however, that the short call spread is only $5 wide, so if the price action shoots past $345, we would still have $5 from the first spread, less the cost – and this would still deliver over 150% gains.
Our maximum risk is simply the cost of the spread – if the price action fades, or does not rise past $330, we will lose the cost of the debit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trade Management</h2>
The strategy result provides three ways to exit the trade:
<ol>
<li>Sell the butterfly once it gets to an acceptable profit margin for you. I customarily look for 150%-300% profit for these kinds of trades in the current environment of volatility.</li>
<li>Sell the butterfly once it hits a loss threshold as determined by personal risk – this will happen with extreme movement. I customarily look at about 70% though depending on my size.</li>
<li>Ssell the butterfly into the week before expiration, if all is going well and you have decided to hold the trade into closer to the end of expiration (I have had many a trade go sideways taking it down to the wire and not capturing gains, so I do not advise this).</li>
</ol>

How to Trade Tomorrow's Earnings

Cathie Wood, the founder of asset management firm&nbsp;Ark Invest, expressed uncertainty about the utility of President Donald Trump&#8217;s coin on Wednesday, adding that her company has avoided memecoin investments.
What Happened: During an interview with Bloomberg TV, Wood labeled the launch of Official Trump&nbsp;(TRUMP)&nbsp;as part of a &#8220;memecoin moment,&#8221; but only time will tell if it becomes useful in some way.
&#8220;I mean there is speculation that you&#8217;ll get to meet President Trump as one of the utilities of owning this coin. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s the case or not. But so far, we don&#8217;t know of much utility for this coin, except that it is a meme coin of President Trump,&#8221; the veteran investor said.
That said, Wood noted that the launch could potentially symbolize the &#8220;next phase of&nbsp;the cryptocurrency revolution.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

When asked if she would buy the cryptocurrency, Wood responded that Ark Invest has mostly stayed away from meme coins, focusing instead on the &#8220;Big Three,&#8221; namely Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>).

Why It Matters: The meme coin, which was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43080060/donald-trump-and-melania-memecoins-combined-market-value-is-now-higher-than-that-of-warren-buffetts-hot-pick">launched last weekend</a>, has seen wild fluctuations in its price and capitalization.
At its peak, the coin spawned a fully diluted valuation of nearly $75 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43080060/donald-trump-and-melania-memecoins-combined-market-value-is-now-higher-than-that-of-warren-buffetts-hot-pick">well over many reputed publicly-listed firms</a>. As of this writing, the valuation has halved to $36.79 billion.
Entities affiliated with The Trump Organization control 80% of the coin&#8217;s supply. When President Trump was asked about the "several billion dollars" the memecoin has raked in, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43118779/trump-memecoin-regains-momentum-rallies-22-as-the-president-calls-billions-earned-through-the-venture-as-peanuts">he deemed them</a> &#8220;peanuts.&#8221;
Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $36.59, crashing 11.94% in the last 24 hours, according to data from <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/official-trump/">CoinMarketCap</a>.

Wall Street personalities and market watchers are closely monitoring coal stocks following unexpected industry dynamics, with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer hinting at a potential sector resurgence.
What Happened: Cramer&#8217;s cryptic Wednesday post on X, questioning &#8220;And what if coal makes a comeback??? Stay tuned&#8230;&#8221;, preceded a notable decline in coal-related equities.
Major industry players like Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>) and Warrior Met Coal Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>) experienced significant price corrections, with the Exchange Traded Concepts Trust Range Global Coal Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COAL#NYSE">COAL</a>) dropping 2.20%.
The potential shift comes amid President Donald Trump&#8216;s aggressive energy infrastructure plans, which emphasize expanding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42865106/trump-vows-to-power-ai-boom-with-expanded-oil-drilling-need-double-the-electricity-at-least-that-we-have-right-now">domestic drilling and electricity production</a> to support the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">burgeoning artificial intelligence sector</a>.

Why It Matters: Notably, the AI-driven energy transformation is sparking unprecedented electricity demand. The Department of Energy projects AI-related data center electricity consumption <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43107819/i-wish-i-couldve-predicted-it-the-27-billion-gas-deal-behind-ais-energy-appetite">could triple within three years</a>, forcing a reevaluation of traditional energy strategies.

This expansion represents a 20% increase over recent construction rates and signals a potential renaissance for fossil fuel infrastructure.
Major tech companies are already positioning themselves strategically. Meta Platforms Inc. plans to power a $10 billion AI data center through a $3.2 billion gas plant expansion exemplifies the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43107819/i-wish-i-couldve-predicted-it-the-27-billion-gas-deal-behind-ais-energy-appetite">industry&#8217;s current trajectory</a>.
While renewable energy development continues, industry leaders argue that current battery technologies cannot match gas plants&#8217; reliability for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43107819/i-wish-i-couldve-predicted-it-the-27-billion-gas-deal-behind-ais-energy-appetite">power-intensive AI operations</a>.

World Network (WLD) was one of the cryptocurrency market's biggest gainers on Wednesday amid the hype surrounding OpenAI's ambitious $500 billion Project Stargate.
What happened: WLD, the native currency of the decentralized identity verification project, surged over 4%, becoming the third best-performing cryptocurrency over the last 24 hours.
The coin&#8217;s trading volume surged 22.50% to $819 million, indicating significant buying pressure.
The rally defied downturns in market heavyweights like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which fell 2.71% and 3.19%, respectively.

Sam Altman-Founded Worldcoin Network Rallies, Defying Bitcoin and Ethereum Decline, Amid OpenAI's Role in Project Stargate

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives has raised Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) price target to $550, signaling growing confidence in the electric vehicle manufacturer&#8217;s demand and autonomous potential under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration. 
What Happened: Ives characterized the emerging landscape as a &#8220;golden era&#8221; for CEO Elon Musk and Tesla heading into 2025.
The price target increase comes amid complex market dynamics, including challenges in vehicle deliveries and potential policy changes. Tesla&#8217;s U.S. deliveries declined 5.6% in 2024 to 633,762 units, yet the company remains the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42967593/cybertruck-sales-rise-in-2024-weighed-down-on-tesla-model-s-deliveries-in-us-shows-data">dominant electric vehicle brand nationwide</a>.
Simultaneously, debates around Tesla&#8217;s future have intensified. Investor Gary Black cautioned against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42904377/tesla-bull-gary-black-warns-against-inflated-optimus-robot-assumptions-get-pounded-each-time-i-try-to-right-size-expectations">inflated expectations</a> for the Optimus robot program, estimating it could add only $0.70 to earnings per share by 2027. 
Bank of America analyst John Murphy valued the Optimus segment between $14 billion and $95 billion, representing just 2% of Tesla&#8217;s total estimated value.

Why It Matters: The potential elimination of the $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit under the Trump administration introduces additional uncertainty. While Musk previously suggested minimal impact on Tesla, Black warned of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43122855/trumps-plan-to-revoke-7500-ev-tax-credit-is-a-huge-negative-for-tesla-says-gary-black-downplays-impact-on-rivals">significant pricing challenges</a>.
Notably, Tesla&#8217;s stock performance has lagged behind market expectations, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42904377/tesla-bull-gary-black-warns-against-inflated-optimus-robot-assumptions-get-pounded-each-time-i-try-to-right-size-expectations">fiscal 2025 and 2026 earnings estimates</a> declining 39% and 45% respectively over the past year. 
Despite these challenges, Ives remains optimistic, setting a bull case target of $650, representing a 56% increase from the current trading price, without factoring in Optimus&#8217; potential.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $415.11 on Wednesday, down 2.11% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped further 0.32%. Over the past year, Tesla's stock has gained 98.81%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Tesla has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> of $308.4, with a high of $550 and a low of $24.86. The average target from Wedbush, Piper Sandler, and Barclays is $458.33, implying a 10.77% upside.

Dan Ives Raises Tesla Price Target To $550, Sees 'Golden Era' For Elon Musk Under Trump, Sees Bull Case Upside Of Over 56% If Optimus Robot Counted In Valuation

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink touted Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a tool for overcoming economic and political uncertainties on Wednesday, projecting it to rise to as much as $700,000 if the world catches up with this narrative.
What Happened: During an interview with Bloomberg on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, Fink stated that Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against local fears related to currency debasement and political instability.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re frightened of the debasement of your currency or you&#8217;re frightened of the economic or political stability of your country, You could have an internationally based instrument called Bitcoin that will overcome those local fears, &#8221; the CEO of the world&#8217;s largest asset manager said.

He also mentioned discussions he regularly has&nbsp;with the sovereign wealth funds&nbsp;about the possibility of allocating 2% to 5% of their portfolio to Bitcoin.
&#8220;If everybody adopted that conversation, you know, it would be $500,000, $600,000, $700,000 per Bitcoin,&#8221; Fink made a bold prediction.

Blackrock CEO Larry Fink Says Bitcoin Could Rise To $700,000 On Fiat Fears: 'If You're Frightened Of The Debasement…'

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made a significant move by selling shares of Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>).
The Robinhood Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) fund sold 18,483 shares of Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) on Wednesday. The transaction was valued at approximately $927,107, based on Robinhood&#8217;s closing price of $50.16. This sale occurs as Robinhood navigates a challenging market environment, influenced by economic indicators and potential regulatory shifts.
Recent reports have highlighted Robinhood&#8217;s vulnerability to economic fluctuations, particularly those affecting retail investors. A report from early January noted that Robinhood&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42878117/whats-going-on-with-robinhood-markets-stock">stock faced pressure</a> due to a cooling U.S. labor market, which could impact its trading-dependent revenue model. The ADP National Employment Report indicated a slowdown in job growth, potentially affecting trading volumes on Robinhood&#8217;s platform.
Despite these challenges, Robinhood has been identified as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42086650/robinhood-positioned-as-top-crypto-deregulation-trade-says-bernstein">key player</a> in the potential deregulation of the cryptocurrency sector. A Bernstein report positioned the brokerage as a top beneficiary of regulatory changes, suggesting a promising outlook for its growth. This dual narrative of economic challenges and regulatory opportunities frames Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to adjust its position in Robinhood.
Other Key Trades:
<ul>
<li>Sold 61,235 shares of Accolade Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACCD#NASDAQ">ACCD</a>) from the ARKG fund.</li>
<li>Bought 307 shares of Deere &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>) for the ARKQ fund and 93 shares via ARKX.</li>
<li>Sold 307 shares of Elbit Systems Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESLT#NASDAQ">ESLT</a>) from the ARKQ fund and 93 shares via ARKX.</li>
