Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Buys Into Defense And Energy Stocks Amid Trump's Inaugural Policies

Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) experienced a 15% surge in premarket trading on Wednesday on the heels of the company announcing a 16%<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43119464/netflix-raises-prices-16-peter-schiff-warns-of-escalating-inflation-risks-ahead-of-trump-policies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> price hike for its standard streaming plan.</a>
What Happened: Netflix&#8217;s shares saw an increase of $128.14 in the premarket, following a 1.35% rise at the close of the previous day, ending at $869.68. 
The price increase, which took the&nbsp;ad-free standard plan from $15.49&nbsp;to $17.99 per month, was announced in conjunction with Netflix&#8217;s impressive fourth-quarter earnings report.

The earnings report highlighted a 16% year-over-year revenue growth, reaching $10.25 billion, and a subscriber increase of 18.91 million. This surge in subscribers brought the total number of paid memberships to a staggering 301.63 million. The price increase also impacted the premium tier, now priced at $24.99, and the ad-supported option, which rose to $7.99.
Netflix&#8217;s robust performance, marked by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-highlights-nfl-squid-game-power-best-subscriber-growth-in-company-history">record operating income surpassing</a>&nbsp;$10 billion for fiscal 2024,&nbsp;suggests a promising future for the company. Netflix anticipates its 2025 revenue to fall&nbsp;between $43.5 billion and $44.5&nbsp;billion, indicating a 12-14% growth. This projection underscores Netflix&#8217;s relatively&nbsp;small current share of the&nbsp;estimated $650 billion market opportunity&nbsp;across its key regions.
The company&#8217;s strong performance, driven by popular shows like &#8216;Squid Game&#8217; and its NFL content, has led to a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43104552/youtube-vs-netflix-streamers-top-usage-leaderboard-in-december-sector-makes-more-gains-on-broadcast-and-cable">increase in its subscriber base.</a> The price hike, which is the largest in the company&#8217;s history, is a bold move that reflects Netflix&#8217;s confidence in its future growth and content offerings.

EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is now looking to hire data labelers in Utah for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39705124/tesla-giving-special-treatment-to-musk-and-high-profile-vip-drivers-in-fsd-development-report">data from its fleet of vehicles</a> as well as its Tesla bots.
What Happened: Tesla posted job openings on social media platform X and its career page.
The employees will work with in-house tools to label data coming from the company&#8217;s large fleet of vehicles as well as data from its humanoid bots which are under development. The data will include images and videos and the labeling will contribute to advancing the software aimed at making them operate autonomously. 
&#8220;No&nbsp;previous&nbsp;experience in AI or data labeling&nbsp;required. The perfect candidate for this role is adaptable, can apply logic to multiple different scenarios, is attentive to detail, has experience with computers and other software, and enjoys a fast-paced work environment,&#8221;&nbsp;the company says in the job description. The candidate must also have a working knowledge of the laws and rules of the road, it added. 
The job will be full-time and would require the employee to work from 9 am to 5:30 pm for five days a week in Utah.
Why It Matters: Tesla uses the visual road data that it gains from its car fleet to train their software how to respond autonomously to them. The company is hopeful that its autopilot and full self-driving (FSD) software, which currently serve as driver assistance systems, will enable autonomous driving with time and more training. 
Last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company would start deploying self-driving Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in Texas and California for ride-hailing in 2025, provided it gets the necessary regulatory clearances.
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'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>.
However, it is important to note that FSD has yet to enable autonomous driving and still requires active driver supervision. 
As for Tesla bots, Musk said in July that the EV company would have "genuinely useful" humanoid robots in low production for use within its factories in 2025. The company will "hopefully" increase production for other customers in 2026, he said.
Musk expects to be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37950895/elon-musk-says-cost-of-making-an-optimus-is-half-that-of-manufacturing-a-tesla-ev-despite-complexity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">able to sell Optimus, as the bots are called, at $10,000 or $20,000</a>, at a lower price point than Tesla&#8217;s cheapest Model 3 sedan, once it reaches high-volume production.

Tesla Looks To Hire Data Labelers To Boost Autonomous Vehicle And Bot Development

Billionaire Peter Thiel, a renowned venture capitalist and co-founder of PayPal Holdings and Palantir Technologies, got into Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investments long before its meteoric bull runs captured the world's attention.
However, the long-held conviction appeared to fade, as apparent from one of his interviews last year.
What happened: During an interview in Jun. 2023, Thiel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39569413/billionaire-peter-thiel-voices-skepticism-on-bitcoins-future-growth-im-not-sure-its-going-">voiced pessimism about Bitcoin's price rise potential</a>.&nbsp;
"I'm not sure it's going to go up that dramatically from here. We got the ETF edition, and I don't know who else buys it," the venture capitalist said.
Thiel added that the apex cryptocurrency has grown increasingly connected with traditional finance as a result of the launch of spot exchange-traded funds, a deviation from its original cypherpunk, crypto-anarchist narrative.
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42735744/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-predicts-doom-for-michael-saylors-microstrategy-as-stock-dips-below-300-in-after-hours-trading"> </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43119637/michael-saylors-proposal-to-increase-microstratagys-share-count-approved-by-shareholders-more-bitcoin-purchases-on-the-cards">Michael Saylor&#8217;s Proposal To Increase MicroStratagy&#8217;s Share Count Approved By Shareholders — More Bitcoin Purchases On The Cards?</a>
When Thiel made these remarks, Bitcoin traded at $60,320.14 per unit. So, if you set aside his skepticism and invested $1,000 in the asset, you'd have received 0.0165 BTC.
Fast forward to January, and the apex cryptocurrency has made significant strides, exchanging hands at $104,988.38 as of this writing.&nbsp;
So if you'd have resisted selling, the original investment would have turned $1740.52, netting a return of 74% in just about seven months.
Why It Matters: Thiel's venture capital firm, Founders Fund, has had a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/02/37087400/peter-thiels-founders-fund-bets-big-on-bitcoin-and-ether-with-200m-investment-report#google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">significant history with Bitcoin</a>, first buying the apex digital asset back in 2014.
The fund made a profit of $1.8 billion on its Bitcoin investments by selling just before the 2022 market collapse.
It returned to the market between late summer and early fall of 2023, purchasing $100 million worth of Bitcoin.
Interestingly, in the very same interview where Thiel expressed doubts about Bitcoin, he regretted not purchasing more of the digital currency.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $104,988.38, up 2.73% 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..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Year-to-date, the leading cryptocurrency has gained 12.41%.

Earnings Scheduled For January 22, 2025

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed further improvement in overall market sentiment, but the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Tuesday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 500 points during the session as investors bet on more domestic-friendly policies following Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration on Jan. 20 as the 47th U.S. President.

Dow Jumps Over 500 Points As Trump Takes Office: Investor Sentiment Improves, But Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Hal Sperlich, the automotive genius behind the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38285214/fords-mustang-gallops-into-60th-year-still-a-pony-with-plenty-of-kick">Ford Mustang</a>, passed away on Monday at 95. 
What Happened: Sperlich is best known as the chief architect behind the Ford Mustang and the Chrysler minivan. A Detroit and Saginaw native, Sperlich trained to be an engineer at the University of Michigan. He joined Ford in 1957 as a product planner and went on to develop the Mustang.
After leaving Ford, Sperlich joined Chrysler in 1977 and directed the company&#8217;s engineering personnel to develop a front-wheel-drive platform that became the &#8220;K-Car&#8221; which later gave rise to the company&#8217;s minivans. He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2009.
The news of his passing was first<a href="https://www.autonews.com/executives/an-obituary-hal-sperlich/"> reported</a> by Automotive News.
Ford CEO Responds: Ford CEO Jim Farley expressed his condolences on Tuesday in a post on social media platform X. 
&#8220;We lost a product visionary in Hal Sperlich. He was also a friend and mentor to me, and many others.&nbsp; Hal was a dare-to-be-different product planner who had vision, passion and knowledge of a customers' wants and needs,&#8221; Farley said. The CEO noted that Sperlich was behind the Ford Fiesta in addition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42938610/ford-sold-more-electric-mustangs-than-gas-mustangs-in-2024">the Mustang.</a>
&#8220;He didn't play it safe, and he was always focused on the whitespace&nbsp;and improving the company's capability.&nbsp;There are a lot of people who make great cars but so few who invent segments like Hal did with the Ford Mustang and later the Fiesta,&#8221; Farley said. &#8220;Our hearts go out to his family and friends.&#8221;

Ford Mustang Architect Hal Sperlich Dies At 95: 'Lot Of People Who Make Great Cars But So Few Who Invent Segments Like Hal Did,' Says Jim Farley

For the quarter ending 31 December 2024, BW Product Services reported an estimated gross profit of approximately USD 14 million. This gross profit primarily stems from a USD 58 million gain from realised trading positions, which was partially offset by an unrealised negative movement of USD 44 million due to the change in mark-to-market value of our open cargo contracts and hedging transactions.
After general and administrative expenses and income taxes, BW Product Services reported an estimated net profit of approximately USD 3 million for the quarter. The reported net profit includes accruals for personnel costs which may change subject to board approvals.

A trader&#8217;s actions planted doubts on Tuesday after they bought over $5 million worth of Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) memecoin at the bottom just minutes after President Donald Trump said he knows little about it.
What Happened: In an X post, capital markets commentator The Kobeissi Letter drew attention to suspicious dealings shortly after Trump made his first public statement on his official coin.
The post noted that TRUMP fell over 33% three minutes after Trump&#8217;s remarks. At the exact bottom, a wallet scooped $5.09 million of the coin, which The Kobeissi Letter deemed as &#8220;one of the biggest single purchases&#8221; since the coin&#8217;s launch.
The subsequent purchase led to a quick recovery in the coin&#8217;s value, netting the trader $2.4 million in profits in just 14 minutes later.

The findings were <a href="https://dexscreener.com/solana/a8nphpcjqtqhdquk35uj9hy2ysgxfkczgunwvkd3k7vc">drawn </a>from analytics platform DEX Screener and independently verified by Benzinga. The team behind Trump&#8217;s memecoin didn&#8217;t immediately return a request for comment.
