South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Co&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) incoming CEO Jose Munoz is optimistic about the future of electric vehicles despite fears of EV tariffs and incentives getting dropped or reduced under the upcoming Donald Trump presidency.
What Happened: Hyundai decided to make a big investment in America during the previous Trump administration before the introduction of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which provides incentives for the manufacturing of electric vehicles in the U.S., Munoz said in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E3zF6S2JaQ">interview </a>with CNBC. 
&#8220;The fact that Elon Musk is so close to Trump is probably good for electric vehicles, not bad. We are not planning our business based on incentives. We want to produce really great vehicles with great features,&#8221; he said. Munoz&#8217;s appointment as co-CEO of Hyundai will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42004380/hyundai-gears-up-for-trumps-return-to-white-house-elevates-us-chief-jose-munoz-to-co-ceo-appoints-former-us-diplomat-to-manage-external-affairs">effective from January. </a>
Why It Matters: In November 2023, Hyundai announced that it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35768916/hyundai-announces-25-wage-hike-for-alabama-and-georgia-production-team-amid-labour-unrest">invest $12.6 billion in EV and battery manufacturing facilities in Georgia</a>, making it its largest investment outside South Korea. The first electric vehicle rolled off the assembly line in Georgia in October. 
Earlier this week, the company unveiled its Ioniq 9 three-row SUV which will roll out in the U.S. early next year. The Ioniq 9 will be up against other 3-row SUVs from rival automakers including Lucid Motors and General Motors and will be manufactured in Georgia. 
Hyundai now aims to have a lineup of 23 EV models by 2030.
Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said Trump&#8217;s plan to get rid of consumer tax credits for EVs is actually not positive for Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). Eliminating the EV tax credit could pose a major challenge to the United States&#8217; EV transition. However, Musk, a prominent supporter of Trump, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">reportedly expressed his support </a>to Trump's team for ending the EV tax credit.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Proximity To Trump Will Benefit EV Industry, Says Incoming Hyundai CEO As He Shrugs Off Potential Tariff Threats

Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) on Thursday announced new efforts to combat the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/06/32920991/woman-falls-for-crypto-scammer-on-tinder-loses-entire-401-k-savings-of-100-000">threat of &#8220;pig butchering&#8221; scams</a>, which have cost Americans billions of dollars each year.
What Happened: Pig butchering scams typically involve scammers building fake online relationships with victims before convincing them to invest in fraudulent investment schemes, often involving cryptocurrency.
These scams take months to develop, with scammers using dating apps, social media platforms, and messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39991479/ferrari-executive-targeted-by-deepfake-scam-report">to lure in victims</a>.
The U.S. Institute of Peace estimates that up to 300,000 individuals were coerced into participating in scams globally by these criminal organizations, resulting in about $64 billion in stolen funds annually as of 2023.

According to Meta, the tech giant has taken down more than 2 million scam-related accounts this year and will begin flagging potential scam messages across its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Meta is sharing information with international law enforcement to help identify and shut down criminal networks behind these scams.

Why It Matters: Pig butchering scams are a growing issue, with the FBI reporting nearly $12.5 billion in losses from online fraud in 2023 alone, marking a 22% increase from the previous year.
In May 2024, Meta, Match Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>), the owner of Tinder and Hinge, and several cryptocurrency firms formed a coalition.
Known as the &#8220;Tech Against Scams&#8221; coalition, these companies committed to exchanging information about scammers and improving user education.
However, that doesn't mean Zuckerberg's Meta has not faced criticism for its role in Fraud cases.
Earlier this year, South Korea&#8217;s antitrust regulator examined the possibility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37554106/facebook-and-instagrams-marketplace-practices-under-ftc-radar-in-south-korea-for-user-safety-slip-up">sanctions against Meta</a> over alleged failures in consumer protection on its online marketplaces.
In December 2022, Zuckerberg faced a lawsuit for his platform&#8217;s involvement in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/08/33981694/facebook-faces-expulsion-from-thailand-for-failing-to-crack-down-on-scams">marijuana investment scam</a>.
Some anti-scam advocates believe tech companies&#8217; efforts to combat pig butchering are insufficient and delayed.
Jake Sims, co-founder of Operation Shamrock, a global coalition dedicated to tackling scams and the criminal networks behind them, stated that merely warning users and occasionally removing accounts doesn&#8217;t address the full scope of the criminal activity involved.
&#8220;After three years of Meta's awareness of this problem on their platforms, the situation is getting worse, not better,&#8221; Sims <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/meta-removes-2-million-accounts-related-pig-butchering-scams-rcna181025">told</a> NBC News.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s shares fell by 0.43% on Thursday, closing at $563.09, and dropped an additional 0.34% in after-hours trading, reaching $561.18 as of this writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Huawei Technologies Co. is reportedly set to release its most advanced domestically made chip in the Mate 70 series, amid ongoing U.S. sanctions.
What Happened: The new chip will power select models in Huawei's Mate 70 lineup, which is expected to launch next week, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/huaweis-chip-advances-threaten-apple-in-china-165a1e9e?mod=tech_lead_story">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
The launch comes as Huawei continues to increase its market share in China, where it has seen a rise in consumer demand.
In the third quarter of this year, Huawei's market share in China grew to 15.3% from 8.6% last year, positioning it as a significant competitor to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in the high-end smartphone market.

The new chips, produced by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation or SMIC, leverage advanced technologies to improve performance and power efficiency, allowing Huawei to compete more effectively with Apple's offerings.
&#8220;The Mate 70 will continue to put more pressure on Apple in China,&#8221; said IDC vice president Bryan Ma, according to the report.
Although Huawei's chips still lag behind Apple's in terms of power efficiency, he noted that the difference may not be significant as long as users can get through the day without worrying about charging, the report noted.

Why It Matters: This development coincides with an earlier report that suggested Huawei plans to begin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42105518/huawei-to-reportedly-take-on-nvidia-with-mass-production-of-new-ai-chips-by-2025-amid-us-restrictions">mass production of its new AI chip</a>, the Ascend 910C, in early 2025, despite facing major challenges from U.S. trade restrictions.
In May earlier this year, the Joe Biden administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38682654/biden-administration-tightens-grip-on-chinas-huawei-revokes-key-export-licenses-from-us-chipmakers">canceled export licenses</a> for leading U.S. semiconductor companies such as Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), blocking them from providing essential chips to Huawei.
During the same month, a report from Counterpoint Research suggested that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39107001/after-apple-huawei-takes-on-samsung-in-race-to-become-worlds-top-foldable-phone-maker-report">Huawei surpassed</a> Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) in global foldable smartphone shipments for the first quarter of 2024.
Last month, U.S. lawmakers called on the Department of Commerce to take stronger measures against Huawei&#8217;s reported efforts to evade sanctions by using a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41368844/us-lawmakers-demand-tougher-action-on-huaweis-secretive-chip-network">covert network of semiconductor facilities</a>.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Apple shares increased by 0.02% to $228.56 in after-hours trading, following a 0.21% decline to $228.52 during Thursday's regular session, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Abacus will receive no proceeds from the secondary portion of the offering.

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/trumps-doge-with-musk-at-the-helm-riddled-with-conflicts-of-interest-says-clinton-era-official-robert-reich/ar-AA1u3Joj">appointed DOGE</a> or the Department of Government Efficiency could potentially save $50–100 billion annually, according to Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analyses, said Mario Georgiou, CFA and executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K.
What Happened: Georgiou said that DOGE &#8220;tasked with cutting wasteful spending, could play a role in improving fiscal discipline, but the scale of potential savings is expected to be modest.&#8221;
The U.S. federal budget deficit could reach $1.7 trillion in 2024, entailing mandatory spending on Social Security and Medicare, which accounts for over 60% of expenditures, Georgiou said. &#8220;Even if the DOGE achieves its objectives, potential savings are estimated at $50–100 billion annually, according to Congressional Budget Office analyses, which would have only a marginal impact compared to total federal outlays of approximately $6.7 trillion in 2024,&#8221; he added.
However, Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42069803/elon-musks-doge-job-applications-require-x-premium-subscription">who will co-lead DOGE</a> with Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy had called for &#8220;at least $2 trillion&#8221; in budget cuts last month while speaking at a rally in New York.
On Wednesday, Musk and Ramaswamy outlined their vision for DOGE, &#8220;The two of us will advise DOGE at every step to pursue three major kinds of reform: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions, and cost savings,&#8221; the duo wrote in a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/musk-and-ramaswamy-the-doge-plan-to-reform-government-supreme-court-guidance-end-executive-power-grab-fa51c020">WSJ</a> opinion piece on Nov. 20.
Why It Matters: In their opinion piece, the duo said &#8220;DOGE will help end federal overspending by aiming $500 billion-plus in annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended.&#8221;
Musk and Ramaswamy aimed a few expenditure programs along with $300 million provided to the other &#8220;progressive groups.&#8221; They mentioned $535 million allotted to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and $1.5 billion in grants to Planned Parenthood annually.
Discretionary spending—where most inefficiencies and &#8220;waste&#8221; are typically identified, &#8220;constitutes a smaller portion of the budget and offers limited opportunities for impactful cuts​​,&#8221; Georgiou added.
Musk and Ramaswamy highlighted that several federal contracts have gone unexamined for years. They suggested that a temporary suspension of payments would facilitate comprehensive audits, resulting in substantial cost savings.
&#8220;The Pentagon recently failed its seventh consecutive audit, suggesting that the agency's leadership has little idea how its annual budget of more than $800 billion is spent.&#8221;
Also read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42105450/elon-musk-says-amazon-founder-jeff-bezos-urged-tesla-spacex-investors-to-dump-stakes-predicting-trumps-loss">Elon Musk Says Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos Urged Tesla, SpaceX Investors To Dump Stakes, Predicting Trump&#8217;s Loss</a>
&#8220;We are focused on delivering cost savings for taxpayers,&#8221; the duo said in their piece.
Musk and Ramaswamy swiftly defended their stance on cutting the budgets of a few entitlement programs. &#8220;Critics claim that we can't meaningfully close the federal deficit without aiming for entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which require Congress to shrink. But this deflects attention from the sheer magnitude of waste, fraud, and abuse that nearly all taxpayers wish to end,&#8221; they added.

As Q4 nears, undervalued tech stocks offer growth potential, especially in sectors like AI. Therefore, you might want to tap into this opportunity to invest in undervalued tech stocks like TD SYNNEX Corp (SNX), Jabil (JBL), and Dropbox (DBX) for long-term gains. Read on… As the tech sector heads into Q4 with factors like recent market corrections, profit-taking after a volatile year, and stronger-than-expected earnings in sub sectors like cloud computing and semiconductors, the companies are showing signs of potential rebound.
Amid this backdrop, investors looking for an opportunity to invest might consider adding strong fundamental tech stocks, TD SYNNEX Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SNX/">SNX</a>), Jabil Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/JBL/">JBL</a>), and Dropbox, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DBX/">DBX</a>), as they are trading at discounts.
With market sentiment starting to improve and economic data stabilizing, there has been a bull market momentum for tech stocks. Out of eleven S&amp;P 500 sectors, the information technology sector is ranked ninth, where it is the largest sector, comprising <a href="https://www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/investing-in-tech-stocks.html">nearly 32% of the index's value</a>.
As companies lean more into digital transformation, tech stocks in software, hardware, and cloud sectors are anticipated to benefit from increasing demand. For the tech sector specifically, analysts are optimistic about a potential return to modest growth in 2024, <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/technology-media-and-telecommunications/articles/technology-industry-outlook.html">with more robust prospects for 2025</a>. As per the Deloitte report, economists project that AI-related investments <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/us/Documents/technology-media-telecommunications/2024-tmt-outlook-technology.pdf">will reach $200 billion</a> globally by 2025.
According to <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/it-services/worldwide">Statista</a>, the global IT services market is anticipated to reach $1.88 trillion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.8%. Moreover, analysts expect growth-oriented stocks to recover, especially those with proven innovation and robust cash flows, setting the stage for undervalued tech stocks to gain renewed interest.
Considering these conducive trends, let's assess the fundamentals of the three abovementioned <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/technology-services/">Technology - Services</a> stocks, starting with the third choice.
Stock #3: TD SYNNEX Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SNX/">SNX</a>)
SNX operates as a global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem. It has two primary solution portfolios: Endpoint Solutions and Advanced Solutions. The company provides personal computing devices, endpoint technology software, and a range of data center technologies, including hybrid cloud, security, storage, networking, servers, and computing components.
On October 15, SNX's subsidiary, Hyve Solutions Corporation, announced the launch of its Orion product line featuring the NVIDIA HGX platform. These solutions are optimized for the NVIDIA Hopper platform and are fully compatible with the NVIDIA Blackwell platform, ensuring customers address both present and emerging AI computational needs. The new launch offers a seamless solution to the customers.
On October 10, SNX launched its Destination AI Practice Accelerator to fast-track AI go-to-market efforts and monetization for partners. This launch enables partners to identify AI opportunities for their end customers and build an AI practice to meet those needs with a customized strategy and support.
In terms of forward non-GAAP <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/price-earningsratio.asp">P/E</a>, SNX is trading at 9.86x, 58.9% lower than the industry average of 24.00x. Likewise, the stock's forward EV/Sales and Price/Sales multiples of 0.22 and 0.17 are 92.4% and 94.2% lower than their respective industry averages of 2.95 and 2.93.
