Earnings Scheduled For January 24, 2025

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed further improvement in overall market sentiment, while the index moved to the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Thursday, with the S&amp;P 500 surging to record highs during the session after President Donald Trump called for cheaper oil prices.
Trump addressed the World Economic Forum via videoconference, advocating for expanded oil &amp; gas production and proposing a 15% corporate tax rate for businesses relocating manufacturing to the U.S. He also reiterated plans to impose tariffs on countries with large trade deficits with the U.S., issuing warnings to Europe, Canada, and China.
American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2024 results but issued a weak outlook. GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) reported stronger-than-expected earnings for its fourth quarter.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims increased by 6,000 from the previous week to 223,000 in the week ending Jan. 18, compared to market estimates of 220,000.
All sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with health care, real estate, and industrials stocks recording gains on Thursday.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 408 points to 44,565.07 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.53% to 6,118.71, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.22% at 20,053.68 during Thursday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from HCA Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>), Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>, )) and American Express Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 47, the index moved to the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 42.3.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/43138120/why-goldman-sachs-analysts-see-risk-of-a-massive-30-correction-in-the-stock-market-in-2025">Goldman Sachs</a> Global Investment Research, the U.S. stock market falls in both instances, when it announces tariffs and when other countries announce retaliatory tariffs.
What Happened: Economist Justin Wolfers, who is a professor at the University of Michigan, in an X post, highlighted Goldman&#8217;s research and pointed out that tariffs could be detrimental to the markets in the short term.
Wolfers, who is also a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and Peterson Institute, said, &#8220;We lose when we punch and we lose when we&#8217;re punched.&#8221;
According to the Goldman graph shared by Wolfers, the S&amp;P 500 fell 5% on the days when the U.S. announced tariffs and 7% on days when other countries announced retaliatory tariffs. However, these moves partially reversed, later in the week.

Now Dan Ives Sees Room For 17% More Growth: &#8216;Our Recent Checks And Growing Confidence…Is Key To The Bull Thesis&#8217; </a>
Why It Matters: President Donald Trump was sworn in earlier this week on Monday, and participated remotely in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43170854/trump-outlines-economic-reset-at-davos-5-things-you-need-to-know">World Economic Forum in Davos</a>, Switzerland, on Thursday. In his speech, he reaffirmed his threat to impose tariffs to encourage domestic manufacturing, sending a clear warning to European business leaders.
"If you don't make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then, very simply, you will have to pay a tariff, differing amounts, but a tariff which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars, and even trillions of dollars into our treasury,&#8221; he said.
Trump has hinted at a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, effective Feb. 1, in response to China sending fentanyl to Canada and Mexico. &#8220;Frankly, I suspect that China is relieved that the tariff is only 10% since up to 100% tariffs had been threatened previously,&#8221; said Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates.
&#8220;A 10% tariff on Chinese goods is not expected to be inflationary since the U.S. dollar is so strong compared to the Chinese yuan. Obviously, President Trump is serious about eliminating fentanyl and the pressure has been turned up on China, Canada, and Mexico,&#8221; he added.
Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein, in their weekly economic note, highlighted that increased tariffs could lead to higher prices for American consumers. They expect the dollar to strengthen on higher tariffs which will lead to lower revenues for foreign exporters in their local currency. However, &#8220;If tariffs lead to expanded capacity in the U.S., that could be disinflationary,&#8221; the note added.
Price Action: As the Trump administration&#8217;s new policies take root, the market has been resilient over the last six months and the year. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust tracking the S&amp;P 500 has gained 25.62% over a year, whereas the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust tracking the Dow Jones advanced 17.80% in the same period.

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has launched its refreshed Model Y in the U.S., with the long-range all-wheel drive variant priced at $59,990.
What Happened: Tesla&#8217;s website lists the new Model Y and existing variants. Only the refreshed vehicle&#8217;s Long Range All Wheel Drive Variant is currently shown on the website.
The website says that deliveries of the new vehicle will start in March. 
The old long-range all-wheel drive variant of Model Y was priced at just $47,990, implying the refreshed vehicle is roughly 25% more expensive.
However, the new vehicle includes the Tesla full self-driving feature, unlike in the case of its predecessor, which was an optional add-on priced at another $8,000.
The company has also launched the refreshed Model Y in Canada, with the new Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive priced C$20,000 higher than its predecessor.
Why It Matters: Tesla launched the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42905406/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-in-china-amid-rising-competition">refreshed Model Y in China</a> earlier this month with its base variant priced at 263,500 yuan or 5.4% pricier than its older version. 
The refreshed vehicle features changes to both its exterior and interior as compared to its forerunner. 
Model Y, launched in 2020, is Tesla&#8217;s best-selling vehicle. The launch of the refreshed vehicle comes after the company reported its first decline in annual global deliveries in over a decade.
Tesla reported global&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deliveries of 1.79 million</a>&nbsp;vehicles in 2024, down from full-year deliveries of 1.81 million in 2023.

Tesla Launches Refreshed Model Y In US With 25% Price Hike, Full Self-Driving Included

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, has reaffirmed his commitment to the ongoing legal battle against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'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>) Google. He is prepared to extend this fight for decades if necessary.
What Happened: Epic Games, backed by Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) has been embroiled in a long-running legal fight with Apple and Google over their app store practices, which Epic argues are monopolistic.
While Epic continues to rake in billions from Fortnite and its Unreal Engine business, Sweeney indicated that his company could face financial struggles as the battle drags on.

Sweeney said, "Yeah, I think we might run into serious financial problems after a couple more decades of this. But we&#8217;re determined to fight this out," according to an IGN <a href="https://in.ign.com/fortnite/223252/news/tim-sweeney-says-epic-can-afford-to-keep-spending-billions-fighting-apple-and-google-for-the-future">report</a>.
"I expect large parts of this struggle will go on throughout the rest of this decade and we&#8217;re fully committed to going through it and investing to break through," he added.
In September 2023, Epic Games announced a major workforce reduction, laying off approximately 830 employees, which accounted for about 16% of its total staff.&nbsp;
Sweeney previously stated that Epic had been &#8220;spending way more money than we earn,&#8221; referring to the need for a &#8220;major structural change to our economics.&#8221;
Despite these challenges, Sweeney <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41151404/epic-games-is-now-financially-sound-says-ceo-tim-sweeney-after-major-layoffs">declared the company</a> &#8220;financially sound&#8221; during a presentation at Unreal Fest 2024.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: On Thursday, the company also launched third-party games on the Epic Games Store on mobile, with a more favorable revenue-sharing model: Epic keeps 12% of the revenue from payments it processes, and 0% from third-party payments.
As part of this new initiative, nearly 20 third-party games are now available on the Epic Games Store on mobile, with 19 games on Android globally and 16 games on iOS in the EU.
Epic is also offering free games as part of a new program, including Bloons TD 6 and Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee, free to download until Feb. 20. New free games will be offered each month, with the plan to move to a weekly schedule later this year.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Prepared To Spend Billions For Decades Fighting Apple, Google Monopolies: 'We Think Our Best Days Are Ahead'

Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the illegal drug marketplace Silk Road, expressed gratitude on Thursday after being pardoned by President Donald Trump.
What happened: In his first public statement after being granted a full and unconditional pardon, Ulbricht called Trump "a man of his word."
"Thank you so much, President Trump, for giving me this amazing blessing," Ulbricht said in a video posted via his X account. "I am so, so grateful to have my life back, to have my future back, to have this second chance."

Ulbricht, who was serving a double life sentence since 2013 for creating the darknet website, said this is an important moment for those who value freedom and believe in second chances.
On a curious note, Ulbricht stated that "there's a lot to talk about" and that he would start engaging with the free world soon.
Interestingly, wallets tied to Ulbricht <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43150266/unclaimed-bitcoin-worth-44-million-found-in-ross-ulbrichts-wallets-but-doubts-about-the-silk-road-founders-access-to-keys">still contain 430 BTC</a>, worth more than $45 million, fueling speculation about their on-chain moves now that he is free.
Why It Matters: Earlier this week, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43118234/president-trump-signs-executive-order-to-pardon-silk-road-creator-ross-ulbricht">fulfilled his campaign promise</a> by signing an executive order to liberate Ulbricht in honor of the Libertarian Movement.
The Silk Road website was a hub of the illegal trafficking of heroin, cocaine, LSD, and other substances, all paid for in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). It is estimated that the platform facilitated $1 billion worth of illicit transactions in the apex cryptocurrency.
Despite the nature of the crimes, Ulbricht was viewed as a champion of libertarian values, with his supporters <a href="https://lp.org/libertarian-party-calls-for-pardoning-of-ross-ulbricht/">criticizing </a>the government for regulating the internet and tightening civil freedoms.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $104,930 up 2.78% 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>.
