A widely followed cryptocurrency trader plans to hold onto their Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) until Mar. 24, anticipating a significant pump in the value of the world&#8217;s largest meme cryptocurrency.
What Happened: Chandler, noted for analyzing chart patterns and forecasting the next moves for cryptocurrencies, shared their investment strategy for Dogecoin.
&#8220;March 24 is the 0.236 Fib Time Zone. Historically, it has shown nice pumps in both Bitcoin and DOGE,&#8221; the trader stated. 
Chandler had previously predicted that the &#8220;best time&#8221; to sell DOGE is&nbsp;a week or two after&nbsp;it crosses the 0.236&nbsp;Fib time zone.

Fibonacci time zones are vertical lines that show probable swing highs, lows, or reversal points on a chart. They are time-based indicators, and the vertical lines correspond to the Fibonacci sequence.
Ali Martinez, another influential cryptocurrency analyst, projected that a surge in key on-chain indicators like daily active addresses, transactions, and whale activity could &#8220;signal&#8221; the start of a fresh DOGE rally.

Why It Matters: The bullish projections, however, contrasted with bearish signals from certain popular technical indicators.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence, which compares two exponential moving averages of price, flashed a &#8220;Sell&#8221; signal for DOGE, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/DOGEUSD/technicals/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data&nbsp;</a>from TradingView.
Furthermore, nearly all of its exponential and simple moving averages suggested a &#8220;Strong Sell.&#8221; 
Things looked bearish in the derivatives market as well. More than 50% of DOGE futures traders held short positions as of this writing, <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IKEBmWfCbvgmBdmYOcbaDteOMGJ0d8exHRmUAAumE2c/edit?tab=t.0">according </a>to Coinglass.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was exchanging hands at $0.2523, down 6% 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.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Hold Dogecoin Until March 24, Says Top Crypto Trader Expecting 'Nice Pumps:' But Look Out For These 'Sell' Signals

The US automotive industry is appealing to Washington lawmakers to gradually phase out electric-vehicle (EV) tax credits over several years, rather than abruptly ending them.
What Happened: Automakers such as General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) are among those advocating for the continuation of certain EV incentives included in the Inflation Reduction Act passed under the administration of former President Joe Biden, reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-12/us-carmakers-push-for-ev-tax-credits-to-be-phased-out-over-years">Bloomberg</a>. They propose a three-year phase-out period for these incentives to give them enough time to reduce battery and EV costs so that they can sell EVs at a lower cost without government support.
Now President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration is contemplating the removal of policies favoring EVs, which could put these investments at risk. The automakers are also apprehensive about potential new tariffs that could significantly affect US car manufacturers.
GM CEO Mary Barra met with Trump recently and talked about tariffs and the potential impact of administrative policies on the U.S. auto industry. Meanwhile, Ford CEO Jim Farley told Bloomberg, "We've already sunk capital. And many of those jobs will be at risk if the IRA is repealed, [if] big parts of it [are] repealed."
The IRA extends consumer tax credits for EV buyers and subsidies for U.S. battery manufacturers for ten years. Automakers are striving to retain as many of these incentives as possible.
However, this push for credits contrasts with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s stance, as he has advocated for the elimination of EV subsidies.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43572782/gm-ceo-on-trumps-trade-threats-we-can-adjust-to-anything-automaker-braces-for-25-tariffs-on-popular-cars-made-in-mexico-and-canada">GM CEO on Trump&#8217;s Trade Threats: &#8216;We Can Adjust to Anything&#8217;—Automaker Braces for 25% Tariffs on Popular Cars Made in Mexico And Canada</a>
Why It Matters: The industry asserts that thousands of jobs are reliant on EVs and numerous EV and battery factories are situated in Republican states, forming the U.S. &#8220;Battery Belt&#8221;. These automakers have invested billions in constructing EV and battery manufacturing facilities in the U.S., backed by IRA subsidies. The U.S. has already allocated $200 billion to generate 200,000 electric vehicle-related jobs in 12 states, the American EV Jobs Alliance portal indicates.
With President Trump in office and Elon Musk pushing for government cost-cutting, the EV tax credit faces the risk of significant reductions.
Furthermore, a new wave of tariffs threatens to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43591152/tariffs-trade-wars-teslas-dilemma-is-the-ev-boom-hitting-a-roadblock">disrupt the auto industry</a>, with US automakers caught in the middle. If tariffs on Canadian and Mexican auto imports are reinstated, car prices could increase by up to $3,000, according to Bloomberg. Tesla and other EV manufacturers are also resisting steep new tariffs on Chinese graphite, a critical battery component. These trade tensions could fuel cost inflation across the industry, threatening EV adoption.
Moreover, some EVs depend completely on tax credits to stay competitive. Hence, rolling back this incentive could force such car manufacturers to either absorb significant losses or discontinue the models altogether.
While the shares of General Motors have gained more than 18% over the year, Ford Motor stock has plunged over 29% in the same period.

Tesla Rivals Call For Gradual Elimination Of EV Tax Credits: 'Many Of Those Jobs Will Be At Risk'

The appeal seeks review of the International Trade Commission (ITC) decision to reverse the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) prior determination that Voltage's LYNX trunk bus products infringe Shoals' '153 Patent.
In the filing, Shoals requests that the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals review and overturn the ITC's interpretation of the Shoals '153 Patent. The review would be on a "de novo" basis, meaning the court will review the interpretation without deferring to the ITC's latest determination. A favorable appeal should result in the Federal Circuit either finding infringement or remanding the case to the ITC to apply the ALJ's interpretation of the ‘153 Patent. Shoals is confident that under the proper interpretation, the ALJ's initial determination finding that Voltage did in fact violate Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 by importing infringing LYNX trunk bus products into the United States, will be upheld.

On Tuesday, Apple Inc. quietly rolled out a purchase migration feature, allowing users to consolidate purchases made on a secondary account into their primary one.&nbsp;
What Happened: The change was detailed in a newly published support document, which outlines the exact process and requirements for migrating purchases.
Who Can Use It: The feature is not available to users in the EU, U.K., or India. Family Sharing must be turned off. The primary account must have made at least one purchase or download for migration to be possible. For users who meet all the required conditions, the "Migrate Purchases" option will appear in the device settings.

Why It Matters: The feature is designed for users who have been using separate Apple Accounts for different services—such as one for iCloud and another for buying apps, media, and subscriptions.
While Apple's Family Sharing has long allowed purchases to be shared among different accounts, this new feature lets users fully transfer their purchased content to a single Apple Account, eliminating the need to manage multiple Apple IDs for purchases.
Users have long been waiting for this feature.

Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) Director Baiju Bhatt sold options worth $5.03 million on Feb. 7, according to a recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, just days before the company&#8217;s anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43641644/robinhood-q4-earnings-preview-can-company-rebound-from-q3-miss-key-items-to-watch">fourth-quarter earnings announcement on Wednesday</a>.
What Happened: The transaction, involving options priced at $55.34 each, comes as Robinhood prepares to report what analysts expect will be record quarterly revenue. The company&#8217;s stock has surged more than 344% over the past year, closing at $53.34 on Tuesday.
Wall Street anticipates Robinhood will report fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43641644/robinhood-q4-earnings-preview-can-company-rebound-from-q3-miss-key-items-to-watch">revenue of $920.41 million</a>, nearly double the $471.0 million from the same period last year. Analysts project earnings per share of 43 cents, up significantly from 3 cents in the previous year&#8217;s quarter.
The trading platform showed mixed results in the third quarter of 2024, missing revenue estimates but demonstrating strong user growth with one million new funded accounts and 1.5 million new investment accounts. The company&#8217;s premium subscription service, Robinhood Gold, reached 2.2 million subscribers after adding 860,000 new users in the third quarter.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> among 17 analysts stands at $44.63, with recent targets suggesting further upside potential.
The company has beaten earnings estimates in eight of the last 10 quarters and has maintained profitability in five of the past six quarters, marking a significant turnaround in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43641644/robinhood-q4-earnings-preview-can-company-rebound-from-q3-miss-key-items-to-watch">its financial performance</a>.

Robinhood Director Baiju Bhatt Sells $5 Million In Options Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

Cryptocurrency custodian company BitGo, Inc. was contemplating an initial public offering listing later this year, according to a media report on Tuesday.
What happened: The California-headquartered company was in talks with potential advisors for a listing that could come as early as the second half of 2025, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-11/crypto-custody-firm-bitgo-said-to-weigh-ipo-as-soon-as-this-year">reported</a>, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Discussions about the IPO are ongoing, and no final decisions have been made. BitGo didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment.

Why It Matters: BitGo provides regulated custody for digital assets, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), and claims to manage over $100 billion in assets under custody.&nbsp;
Known for its multi-signature wallets, BitGo also offers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/41819000/the-9-most-credible-crypto-recovery-companies">recovery solutions</a> to clients who have lost access to their private keys or backup passcodes.
Cryptocurrency behemoth Galaxy Digital expressed interest in acquiring BitGo in 2021 but terminated the deal later, leading to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/39021028/bitgos-100m-suit-against-galaxy-gets-green-light-from-delaware-supreme-court">legal flashpoints</a> between the two entities.

The IPO speculation suggested increased optimism for a more accommodative cryptocurrency policy under the Trump administration.

BitGo Reportedly Considering IPO Later In 2024—Crypto Custody Company Lays Claim To $100 Billion In Assets

EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has released its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology, previously limited to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43326943/elon-musk-is-kind-of-glad-many-didnt-pick-up-a-tesla-fsd-subscription-heres-why">U.S. and Canada</a>, in Mexico. 
What Happened: &#8220;¡Hola México!,&#8221; Tesla wrote on one of its affiliate profiles on X, confirming posts from Tesla users in Mexico that FSD is now available in the country. 
<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">¡Hola México! &#x1f1f2;&#x1f1fd; <a href="https://t.co/Hidp7vw9qz">https://t.co/Hidp7vw9qz</a>
&mdash; Tesla AI (@Tesla_AI) <a href="https://twitter.com/Tesla_AI/status/1889306720381366358?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 11, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Tesla had previously said that the company would gradually make FSD available to customers in select countries outside of the U.S. and Canada. 
Warning For Tesla Drivers In Mexico: FSD presently requires active driver supervision and does not make the vehicle autonomous as suggested by the name of the technology. 
The company, in its owner&#8217;s manual, warns drivers using the technology in newly eligible countries to be &#8220;overly cautious.&#8221;
&#8220;Because every country contains unique infrastructure, driving behaviors, and traffic patterns that&nbsp;Full Self-Driving (Supervised)&nbsp;must adapt to over time, it is essential for drivers using&nbsp;Full Self-Driving (Supervised)&nbsp;in newly eligible countries to be extra attentive and overly cautious. You must be ready to take over safely at any time,&#8221; it says. 
Why It Matters: In September, Tesla said it will roll out FSD in Europe and China in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40724069/tesla-fsd-rollout-in-china-europe-planned-for-q1-2025">first quarter of 2025</a>, pending regulatory approval. 
However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in January during the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings call that regulations are preventing the launch of FSD in both regions.
&#8220;Europe is a layer cake of regulations and bureaucracy, which really needs to be addressed,&#8221; Musk said while adding that he does not see FSD being launched in Europe in the first quarter as previously promised. 
In China, meanwhile, the company is faced with other &#8220;challenges.&#8221; While China doesn&#8217;t allow training videos from Tesla vehicles in the country to be transferred back to the U.S., the U.S. government doesn&#8217;t allow the company to train the software in China, Musk said, terming it &#8220;a bit of a quandary.&#8221;

Coca-Cola Company&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) fourth-quarter earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43623639/coca-cola-pops-in-q4-revenue-soars-6-ceo-hails-all-weather-strategy">exceeded</a> expectations amid strong &#8220;fundamentals&#8221; despite currency headwinds and a significant market share grab from its rival PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>).
What Happened: &#8220;We won overall share and had broad-based share gains across our global beverage categories,&#8221; said James Quincey, the chairman and CEO of the beverage company.
The company&#8217;s robust 2024 results, which included volume growth, robust organic revenue growth, and comparable gross and operating margin expansion, underscore this positive momentum.
Nik Modi of RBC Capital Markets, a veteran beverage industry watcher, expressed astonishment at Coca-Cola&#8217;s current strength in a conversation with Yahoo Finance.

While sparkling soft drinks continue to perform, the company is seeing &#8220;momentum in other categories like value-added dairy and tea,&#8221; demonstrating a successful diversification strategy, added Quincey.
Furthermore, Maaza, a mango-flavored fruit drink brand in India, surpassed the $1 billion milestone in that country, it is &#8220;now our 30th billion-dollar brand,&#8221; the management said.

Why It Matters: Coca-Cola <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43623639/coca-cola-pops-in-q4-revenue-soars-6-ceo-hails-all-weather-strategy">beat</a> its fourth-quarter sales and earnings per share estimates, reporting $11.5 billion in revenue and $0.55 EPS. The company projects 5-6% organic revenue growth and 8-10% currency-neutral EPS growth for fiscal year 2025, though overall EPS growth is expected at 2-3%. Free cash flow is forecast at approximately $9.5 billion.
&#8220;Given the strong momentum of our business, we&#8217;re confident we can deliver on our 2025 guidance and longer-term objectives,&#8221; added CEO Quincey.
However, the first quarter net revenue is expected to include a 3-4% currency headwind.
CFO John Murphy said, &#8220;We have an unwavering priority to grow our dividend as we&#8217;ve done for 62 consecutive years.&#8221;
Additionally, this year, for &#8220;the first time,&#8221; the Coca-Cola Christmas ad was created with generative AI, which led to a &#8220;faster&#8221; production at a &#8220;lower cost&#8221; said Quincey. &#8220;The power of emerging technologies like generative AI are still at early stages and we will continue to lead and iterate our approach,&#8221; he added.
Price Action: The shares rose by 4.73% to $67.60 apiece on Tuesday and slid by 0.67% in after-hours, whereas the exchange-traded fun tracking S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose 0.076%.
KO shares have gained 9.31% on a year-to-date basis, whereas it was up only by 13.23% over the last one year.

The estimates range from $64 to $80 apiece. Recent ratings from RBC Capital, Jefferies, and JP Morgan suggest a $71.33 target, implying a potential upside of 6.23%.

Coca-Cola 'Won Overall Share' From Pepsi: Analyst Says 'Never Seen Fundamentals This Good,' Amid Strong 2025 Outlook

On Tuesday, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) renamed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on its Maps app, following an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43086509/trump-unleashes-executive-orders-on-border-security-oil-drilling-domestic-manufacturing-in-first-acts-as-president">executive order signed</a> by U.S. President Donald Trump on his first day in office.
What Happened: The U.S. government officially updated its maps to reflect the new name. Apple is rolling out the change for U.S. users first, with a global update coming soon.

Why It Matters: Apple&#8217;s decision to rename the gulf comes amid criticism from Republican lawmakers for not immediately complying with Trump&#8217;s order.

Trump White House Boasts Apple's 'Gulf Of Mexico' Rename, But Pinch To Zoom And You Might Be Surprised

Amid skepticism of his support for the Stool Prisondente (JAILSTOOL) token, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy turned to promote another meme coin, Dave Fartnoy, on Tuesday.
What Happened: The popular social media personality took to X to shill another Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based meme coin that poked fun at him. 
&#8220;Let's see how this works.&nbsp;I bought Dave Fartnoy. I&nbsp;got no clue who made&nbsp;it. It was sent to&nbsp;me,&#8221; Portnoy said, adding that he may sell the coin &#8220;at any moment.&#8221; 
<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">you lose the plot you want people to believe because you keep shilling all these useless shitcoins you are buying to your audience rather than just staying quiet about it.
&mdash; Benjamin Cowen (@intocryptoverse) <a href="https://twitter.com/intocryptoverse/status/1889038589134098933?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 10, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
That said, he warned that getting into the coin would be a &#8220;risk&#8221; and advised his followers to only invest what they can afford to lose. 
&#8220;They could rug you at any moment,&#8221; Portnoy cautioned. &#8220;No crypto bros crying when the music stops.&#8221;
Incidentally, Dave Fartnoy, trading at a wafer-thin liquidity of $5,000, plunged over 58% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://dexscreener.com/solana/2w9zplzjgbtnh9rge3nptspetnyg31yc2mkfelo9ytwd">according </a>to data from Dexscreener.
Well-known cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen slammed Portnoy for promoting &#8220;useless sh&#x2A;tcoins&#8221; rather than just staying quiet about it.

Why It Matters: This move follows Portnoy&#8217;s investments in JAILSTOOL, a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43605114/dave-portnoy-holds-millions-in-bitcoin-and-xrp-but-heres-why-he-concluded-his-heart-is-too-big-for-this-space">satirical meme coin</a> mocking his cryptocurrency trading habits.
Portnoy spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the token, promising not to grab early profits and expressing his commitment to the token.
Price Action: As of this writing, JAILSTOOL was trading at $0.06041, up nearly 80% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/stool-prisondente/">according </a>to CoinMarketCap. Since launch, the meme coin has lost 37% of its value.
The popularity of celebrity meme coins has grown in recent months, with even President Donald Trump launching his own Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) token. Recently, controversial rapper Kanye West <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43583457/kanye-west-has-no-plans-of-introducing-his-meme-coin-coins-prey-on-the-fans-with-hype">denied intention</a> to launch his meme coin.
Prominent voices like Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) creator Vitalik Buterin have long argued against such projects, stating that they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43182670/amid-trump-token-frenzy-ethereums-vitalik-buterin-warns-of-unlimited-political-bribery-via-memecoins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">just benefit celebrities and early adopters</a>.

Dave Portnoy Buys Risk-Laden 'Dave Fartnoy' After Promoting Controversial JAILSTOOL:  'I'm In This One To Make Money'

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) outlined an ambitious growth trajectory on Tuesday, projecting fiscal year 2026 revenue of $40 billion despite recent challenges including delayed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43641646/super-micro-reports-preliminary-q2-earnings-company-expects-file-delayed-reports-coming-weeks">financial filings and regulatory investigations</a>.
What Happened: During its second-quarter earnings call, CEO Charles Liang characterized the $40 billion target as a &#8220;conservative estimation,&#8221; forecasting 65% year-over-year growth. This comes as the company reported preliminary second-quarter revenue between $5.6 billion and $5.7 billion, representing a 54% increase from the previous year.
However, Supermicro scaled back its fiscal year 2025 guidance to $23.5-25 billion from its previous forecast of $26-30 billion, citing product transition impacts and delays in new technology deployment. 
To strengthen its financial position, Supermicro announced a $700 million convertible senior notes placement due 2028, while also amending existing notes due 2029. The company ended the second quarter with $1.4 billion in cash, improving to approximately $2 billion by Jan. 31.
Nasdaq Exchange granted SMCI until Feb. 25 to file its 10-K, with delisting risk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43618710/smci-stock-falls-nearly-4-in-tuesday-pre-market-as-investors-await-an-update-on-delayed-filing">if it misses the deadline</a>.

Why It Matters: The company faces ongoing scrutiny following Ernst &amp; Young&#8216;s resignation as auditor in October and subsequent Department of Justice and SEC subpoenas <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43641646/super-micro-reports-preliminary-q2-earnings-company-expects-file-delayed-reports-coming-weeks">related to a short seller report</a>. Supermicro expects to file its delayed financial reports by Feb. 25, with management maintaining that an independent Special Committee found <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43641646/super-micro-reports-preliminary-q2-earnings-company-expects-file-delayed-reports-coming-weeks">no evidence of fraud or misconduct</a>.
Looking ahead, Supermicro emphasized its competitive advantages in liquid cooling technology, claiming a 60% market share. &#8220;We expect more than 30% of new data centers worldwide to adopt liquid cooling infrastructure within the next twelve months,&#8221; Liang noted, pointing to growing AI infrastructure demand.
The company operates at partial capacity, with U.S. facilities at 55% utilization and significant room for expansion in Taiwan and Malaysia operations, positioning it for potential growth as AI adoption accelerates globally.
SMCI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> is $467.47 from 17 analysts, with a high of $1,300 and a low of $23. The latest ratings from Loop Capital, Goldman Sachs, and J.P. Morgan average $30.33, implying a 27.52% downside.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/11225249/Screenshot-2025-02-12-at-9.22.16%E2%80%AFAM-1024x370.png" alt="" class="wp-image-777677" style="width:682px;height:auto" /></figure>
Price Action: Super Micro Computer Inc. stock closed at $38.61 on Tuesday, down 9.47% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rebounded 8.39%. Year to date, shares have gained 28.49%, but over the past year, the stock has declined 50.05%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Supermicro Eyes $40 Billion Revenue Despite Regulatory Heat, Auditor Exit—CEO Calls It 'Conservative Estimation'

On Tuesday, the United States and the United Kingdom declined to sign a global AI safety declaration at the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43638878/intel-shares-are-up-today-whats-going-on">AI Action Summit</a> in Paris, marking a departure from previous AI summits where they had supported similar agreements.
What Happened: Around 60 countries, including China, India, and Germany, signed a non-binding declaration advocating for AI to be &#8220;safe, secure, and trustworthy,&#8221; <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a6b5426d-645f-433b-8090-a2a26a3deec6">reported</a> the Financial Times.&nbsp;
U.S. Vice President JD Vance, speaking at the event, criticized what he called "overly precautionary" AI regulations that could stifle innovation.
&#8220;We believe that excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry just as it's taking off,&#8221; Vance stated.

"America wants to partner with all of you…but to create that kind of trust, we need international regulatory regimes that foster the creation of AI technology rather than strangle it," he said.
He said that the Donald Trump administration would ensure &#8220;the most powerful AI systems are built in the U.S., with American-designed and manufactured chips.&#8221;
A British official suggested that the declaration's wording was "too restrictive."
Another U.K. government spokesperson stated it "didn't provide enough practical clarity on global governance, nor sufficiently address harder questions around national security," the report noted.

Why It Matters: The refusal to sign the declaration highlights growing geopolitical tensions over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42144915/china-unveils-global-ai-governance-committee-with-alibaba-cloud-founder-at-the-helm">AI governance</a>.
The U.S., eager to maintain its edge over China, is focusing on AI innovation.

Goldman Sachs Increases Bitcoin ETF Stake Over $1.5 Billion In Q4, Reports A Massive 1793% Jump In Ethereum ETF Holdings

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43466203/warren-buffetts-127-billion-stock-sell-off-sends-wall-street-a-stark-warning-for-2025-below-average-returns-ahead">Warren Buffett</a> may be a financial mastermind, but when it comes to self-control, even he needs a little extra motivation.&nbsp;
The billionaire investor, known for his sharp decision-making and long-term strategy, had one particular weakness: junk food. Despite living off a diet that would make most nutritionists cringe—McDonald's breakfasts, Dairy Queen sundaes, and an alarming amount of Coca-Cola—Buffett feared gaining too much weight. And in true Buffett fashion, he didn't just set a goal. He made a bet.
In his official 2008 biography "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life" by Alice Schroeder, Buffett understood his own tendencies all too well. To keep himself accountable, Buffett handed his children unsigned checks for $10,000 each, promising to sign them if he exceeded a certain weight.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
The plan seemed foolproof—until his kids saw an opportunity. Instead of cheering him on, they went full Wall Street and tried to game the system. Donuts, pizza and fried food mysteriously appeared around the house, conveniently placed within Buffett's reach. His children, eager to cash in on their father's notorious frugality, became his biggest saboteurs.
For someone who <a href="https://fortune.com/well/article/warren-buffett-birthday-longevity-habits/">once told Fortune</a>, "I eat like a 6-year-old," this was no easy challenge. His daily routine included five 12-ounce Coca-Colas—"If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I do it every day," he said.&nbsp;

His mornings started with a McDonald's drive-thru stop, where he picked from one of three breakfast options based on how the market was performing. If Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)) was up, he'd <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41230382/warren-buffett-lets-the-stock-market-decide-his-mcdonalds-breakfast-order-when-its-up-he-spends-">splurge on a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit</a>. If it was down, two sausage patties would do. Lunch often meant a Dairy Queen chili cheese dog and an ice cream sundae topped with cherry syrup and chopped nuts. And then there were the snacks: Utz potato sticks, See's Candies, and a salt intake so excessive that former Wells Fargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) CEO John Stumpf once compared it to a "snowstorm."
Despite this, Buffett had a trick up his sleeve. His $10,000 bet wasn't just a quirky wager—it was a classic example of a commitment device, a concept in behavioral economics where people create consequences to hold themselves accountable for their actions. A <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/predictably-irrational/200903/warren-buffett-and-his-attempts-self-control">2009 Psychology Today</a> article referencing the same weight-bet anecdote highlighted Buffett as a textbook example of a "sophisticate." Unlike "naifs," who think they'll start their diet tomorrow but never do, or "rational" thinkers, who always make optimal choices, a "sophisticate" understands their own irrationality and sets up systems to counteract it. Buffett knew that, left unchecked, he'd happily eat himself into a sugar coma. So, he made sure that failing his weight goal came at a real cost—$10,000 to his kids.

Of course, his children didn't make it easy. Instead of letting Buffett quietly stick to his goal, they turned it into an opportunity for financial gain. Junk food started appearing around the house, placed strategically to tempt him. But even against their best efforts, Buffett prevailed. The checks went unsigned, proving that even the Oracle of Omaha can outmaneuver his own cravings.
Buffett's bet was a perfect example of how he applies his investing principles to everyday life. Just like in the stock market, where he stays disciplined and avoids emotional decisions, he managed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">outwit his biggest opponents</a>—his own kids and his love for junk food. Turns out, nothing tests willpower quite like a financial incentive, especially when there's $10,000 at stake. If every failed diet came with that kind of price tag, there'd probably be a lot fewer broken New Year's resolutions.

Billionaire Warren Buffett Bet His Kids $10,000 He Wouldn't Gain Weight —And They Tried To Cash In By Sabotaging Him With Donuts

The Future Fund LLC Managing Partner Gary Black highlighted Lyft Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) record year performance on Tuesday, sharing CEO David Risher&#8216;s announcement about serving 44 million riders across the U.S. and Canada in 2024.
What Happened: The comments came as Lyft reported strong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43641962/lyft-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-gross-bookings-up-15-new-buyback-our-biggest-competition-is-inertia">fourth-quarter results</a>, with revenue reaching $1.6 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of $1.56 billion. The company achieved notable growth metrics, including a 15% year-over-year increase in gross bookings to $4.3 billion and a 10% rise in active riders to 24.7 million.
Black, whose Future Fund Active ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>) <a href="https://futurefundetf.com/fund">holds</a> positions in Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) but not in Lyft, recently addressed the future of ride-hailing platforms in the context of autonomous vehicle networks. 
He pointed to Uber&#8217;s 170 million monthly active users as a significant market advantage, comparing it to Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s position in e-commerce with <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43551087/gary-black-says-teslas-insufficiently-robust-autonomous-network-to-compete-with-ubers-170-million-users-draws-parallels-to-amazons-e-commerce-domination">its 310 million monthly active users</a>.
