Why INNOVATE Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 19%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) autonomous driving unit Zoox is reportedly looking to begin offering rides to the public &#8220;quite soon.&#8221;
What Happened: Zoox co-founder Jesse Levinson <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/17/amazon-zoox-plans-commercial-expansion.html">told</a> CNBC that the company intends to offer rides to the public and significantly grow its fleet of self-driving vehicles in 2025.
Zoox is currently testing its vehicles on the roads of San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Foster City, California. 
According to CNBC, the company will first launch commercial services in Las Vegas, followed by San Francisco. The company will launch an &#8220;early rider program&#8221; in Las Vegas in the coming months and open rides to the public later this year, the report said.
Zoox is also eyeing expansion to Miami and Austin, Levinson told CNBC, without detailing a timeline. 
"I don't want to imply that it'll be a commercially meaningful business this year … but it's going to be useful in terms of customers will be able to get value out of it and actually use it to go places. We're excited for that," Levinson told CNBC. "We've taken a pretty conservative and steady approach to scaling and rolling out, just because of the safety-critical nature."
Why It Matters: Zoox, once operational, will be up against Alphabet&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo which is already operating its robotaxis in Phoenix and Los Angeles.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is also looking to join the robotaxi business in 2025. During the company's third-quarter earnings call last year, Elon Musk said that the company expects to start a ride-hail service in Texas and California starting next year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41484511/palo-alto-may-open-streets-to-tesla-robotaxis-but-california-regulators-will-decide-fate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">subject to regulatory approval</a>, with Model 3 and Model Y vehicles equipped with its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology.
However, the vehicles might not all operate as driverless robotaxis but with a driver as some states demand it until the company touches certain milestones in terms of miles and hours driven, the company then said. Musk, known for overestimating his company&#8217;s products, expressed confidence about the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41279865/elon-musk-may-unveil-teslas-robotaxi-but-consumers-respond-with-ehhh-new-study-reveals-skepticism-ne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">company operating driverless paid rides sometime in 2025</a> despite its FSD technology not achieving fully autonomous driving yet. 
Levinson in October dismissed the possibility of Tesla deploying autonomous vehicles without safety drivers in California this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41645383/elon-musk-slams-zoox-co-founder-over-fsd-criticism-your-company-would-be-dead-already-if-not-for-ama" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">alleging that the EV giant&nbsp;</a>lacks a technology that works.
Tesla is faced with a lot of regulatory hurdles that they haven&#8217;t even started trying to climb yet, Levinson&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwFzIm-M6TU" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>&nbsp;at the TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 event in San Francisco. But the fundamental problem, he said, is that Tesla doesn&#8217;t have a &#8220;technology that worked.&#8221;

Net interest income was Baht 149,376 million, a slight increase of Baht 932 million or 0.63% from the previous year partly due to limited loan growth in line with the economic situation and the enhancement of credit underwriting processes to ensure quality lending. Net interest margin ratio stood at 3.64%, a slight decrease from the previous year. Non-interest income was Baht 48,570 million, an increase of Baht 4,361 million or 9.86% mainly due to increased fee income from customer's wealth management service through the offering of comprehensive financial products from the Bank and its subsidiaries, as well as partners. Additionally, there was an increase in gains from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and investment income, along with increased revenue from foreign exchange transactions which were in line with the recovery of tourism.

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to include premarket price movements.
MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) shares dropped 3.43% in Tuesday premarket, falling to $382.90 as cryptocurrency markets reacted to President Donald Trump&#8216;s inauguration speech that notably <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43086698/crypto-market-plunges-after-trumps-inaugural-speech-fails-to-mention-digital-assets">omitted any mention of digital assets</a>.
What Happened: The enterprise software company, which holds over $45 billion in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), had seen its stock surge 8.04% to $396.50 on Friday amid optimism about Trump&#8217;s anticipated crypto-friendly policies. 
The company&#8217;s executive chairman Michael Saylor attended a &#8220;Crypto Ball&#8221; last Friday where he met with Trump&#8217;s incoming cabinet members, fueling speculation about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43078515/michael-saylor-meets-trumps-cabinet-at-crypto-ball-what-does-the-bitcoin-bulls-cryptic-post-indicate">favorable cryptocurrency regulations</a>.
However, Trump&#8217;s inaugural address focused instead on traditional assets, declaring the start of a &#8220;Golden Age of America&#8221; &#8211; a reference that prompted Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff to highlight the president&#8217;s apparent preference for gold over cryptocurrency.

Why It Matters: The speech&#8217;s omission of digital assets triggered a broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43088563/bitcoin-vs-gold-peter-schiff-decodes-trumps-golden-age-reference-in-inaugural-speech">crypto market decline</a>, with Bitcoin falling from $106,000 to $101,775.
The selloff comes as Trump named Mark Uyeda as acting U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair, replacing Gary Gensler. 
The firm has been purchasing Bitcoin for ten consecutive weeks, according to its public disclosures.
