<p>After the overwhelming success of its <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/01/43249653/nasdaqs-bitcoin-etf-shift-could-strengthen-blackrocks-market-position">exchange-traded fund</a> in the United States, <strong>BlackRock </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NASDAQ">BLK</a>) is reportedly preparing to launch a similar product for European investors.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>Quoting an unspecified source, a Bloomberg report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-05/blackrock-said-to-list-bitcoin-exchange-traded-product-in-europe">stated</a> the investment vehicle, likely structured as an exchange-traded product (ETP), will be based in Switzerland, known for its financial regulations.</p>
<p>The new investment can be marketed as soon as this month. A company spokesperson declined to make an official statement on the new product.</p>
<p>BlackRock has approximately $4.4 trillion over a huge variety of financial products and has been at the forefront of bringing blockchain to traditional businesses.</p>
<p>Many other European products have been released, and BlackRock will join in with its plan for a product to be based outside of North America.</p>

<p><strong>Rocket Lab USA Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) shares are bouncing around Wednesday. The company announced a new multi-launch contract <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43479652/rocket-lab-signs-multi-launch-contract-with-iqps-for-four-electron-missions">for Electron missions</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> Rocket Lab signed a multi-launch deal with Earth imaging company <strong>Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space</strong> (IQPS). The agreement includes three dedicated missions for launch in 2025 and one launch scheduled for 2026. </p>
<p>Each mission will carry a satellite for the company&#8217;s planned constellation of 36 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, which are capable of collecting data through clouds and at night with high resolution. All IQPS satellites will use a Rocket Lab Motorized Lightband as its separation system&nbsp;for deployment to space.</p>
<p>&#8220;A constellation&#8217;s success relies on spacecraft being deployed to precise orbits on tailored timelines to maximize the data collection or service provision the customer needs for their end users. This is the unique and reliable service that dedicated launch on Electron delivers,&#8221; said <strong>Peter Beck</strong>, founder and CEO of Rocket Lab.</p>
<p>Rocket Lab launched 16 missions in 2024, up from 10 missions launched in 2023. The company's medium lift rocket Neutron is expected to make its first flight sometime in mid-2025. Rocket Lab announced last quarter that it signed a launch service agreement for multiple Neutron launches with a confidential commercial satellite constellation operator.</p>
<p>Rocket Lab has scheduled its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">fourth-quarter financial results</a> for Feb. 27. Analysts expect the company to report a loss of 10 cents per share and revenue of $130.57 million, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Uber Technologies Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) shares are stuck in reverse on Wednesday after the company reported weaker-than-expected earnings and warned that a strong dollar could impact bookings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43495476/uber-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-growth-in-rides-delivery-and-autonomous-tech-ceo-calls-it-strongest-quarter">in the first quarter</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> Uber reported fourth-quarter revenue of $12 billion, beating estimates of $11.77 billion, but adjusted earnings per share of 23 cents fell short of estimates of 50 cents, per Reuters.</p>
<p>CEO <strong>Dara Khosrowshahi</strong> called it Uber&#8217;s &#8220;strongest quarter ever&#8221; as growth accelerated across monthly active platform consumers, trips and gross bookings.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our performance has been powered by rapid innovation and execution across multiple priorities, including the massive opportunity presented by autonomous vehicles. We enter 2025 with clear momentum and will continue to be relentless against our long-term strategy,&#8221; the Uber CEO said.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, Uber guided for first-quarter gross bookings of $42 billion to $43.5 billion, held in check by an estimated 5.5% headwind to year-over-year growth due to a strong dollar. Analysts were reportedly expecting first-quarter gross bookings around $43.5 billion. The company also guided for first-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $1.79 billion to $1.89 billion, which was slightly below analyst forecasts of $1.85 billion at the midpoint. </p>

<p>The company&#8217;s forward outlook appears to be overshadowing Uber&#8217;s strong growth in the quarter. Here&#8217;s a look at other key metrics in Uber&#8217;s fourth-quarter report. </p>
<p>Total revenue was up 20% on a year-over-year basis, while combined mobility and delivery revenue grew 23% year-over-year. Income from operations totaled $770 million, up $118 million from the prior year&#8217;s quarter. </p>
<p>Monthly active platform consumers totaled 171 million in the quarter, up 14% year-over-year. Trips grew 18% year-over-year to 3.1 billion and driver and courier earnings increased 16% year-over-year. </p>
<p>Uber also announced an accelerated share repurchase program to repurchase $1.5 billion worth of its common stock as part of its previously announced $7 billion buyback. </p>
<p><strong>UBER Price Action:</strong> <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/uber">Uber shares</a> were down 6.95% at $64.95 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a></p>

<p><strong>Ryan Polk</strong>, Chief Financial Officer at <strong>SideChannel</strong> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDCH#OTC">SDCH</a>), reported a large insider buy on June 26, according to a new SEC filing. </p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> A Form 4 filing from the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001022505/000112760223019390//Archives/edgar/data/1022505/000112760223019390/0001127602-23-019390-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Monday showed that Polk purchased 500,000 shares of SideChannel. The total transaction amounted to $150,000. </p>
<p><strong>SideChannel</strong> shares are trading down 11.91% at $0.09 at the time of this writing on Tuesday morning.</p>

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
<p>Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.</p>
<p>In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any shareholder who owns at least 10% of a company. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.</p>
<p>When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.</p>
<p>Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.  </p>
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing.
