In a strategic move to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41443856/tesla-offers-discounts-of-up-to-4k-on-select-model-3-y-vehicles-as-it-looks-to-avert-1st-ever-declin">enhance vehicle sales</a> in the fourth quarter,&nbsp;EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&nbsp;is leveraging&nbsp;its Tesla Electric utility service. The initiative aims to attract more buyers through a unique incentive.
What Happened: Tesla launched the Tesla Electric service in 2022 to expand its virtual power plant efforts. This service automatically manages electricity transactions for Powerwall owners, offering protection against peak prices.
Currently, Tesla Electric is operational&nbsp;in Texas and the UK,&nbsp;with plans for further expansion.
To boost car sales, Tesla is offering a special incentive.
Customers who purchase a new Tesla vehicle by Dec. 31 can enjoy unlimited overnight charging for just $5 per month for a year. Eligibility requires buyers to reside in a Texas area where they can choose their electricity provider and become new Tesla Electric members.

This initiative is part of Tesla&#8217;s strategy to achieve record vehicle deliveries in Q4 2024, targeting over 515,000 units.
The offer comes amidst Tesla's efforts to boost its fourth-quarter delivery numbers. The company is also offering discounts on&nbsp;some inventory vehicles in the U.S.&nbsp;and offers in other offers in geographies&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41892379/tesla-offers-a-year-of-supercharging-for-free-in-europe-as-it-chases-record-q4-deliveries-to-outpace-a-slowdown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">including Europe.</a>
Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s energy segment has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41537560/teslas-energy-segment-boom-in-q3-sparks-leadership-changes-veteran-mike-snyder-promoted-as-vp">seen significant growth</a>, with revenues reaching $2.376 billion in Q3 2024, marking a 52% increase compared to the previous year. This growth has led to the promotion of Michael Snyder to Vice President of Energy and Charging.
The energy business achieved a record gross margin of 30.5%, with the Powerwall product seeing record deployments.
In addition, Tesla is offering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42001907/tesla-offers-3-months-of-free-supercharging-fsd-subscription-for-north-american-buyers-till-year-end-to-boost-deliveries">three months of free full self-driving (FSD)</a> subscription and supercharging for North American buyers who&nbsp;take delivery of a new&nbsp;inventory vehicle&nbsp;by the end of the&nbsp;year. This offer extends to Tesla&#8217;s entire lineup, including the newly added Cybertruck.
Tesla&#8217;s sales in China and globally are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41894615/tesla-q4-deliveries-expected-to-set-new-records-but-not-enough-to-avoid-yearly-sales-decline-says-researcher">expected to set new records</a> in Q4 2024, but may not be sufficient to avoid a decline in full-year sales. The company needs to deliver at least 514,926 vehicles in the last quarter to surpass its 2023 delivery numbers.
Price Action: Tesla stock gained over 2.1% on Tuesday to close at $346. Year-to-date, the EV giant's stock has gained 39.3%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) is set to announce a significant restructuring of its media empire, spinning off most of its cable television networks including MSNBC and CNBC into a separate publicly traded company.
What Happened: The new company, to be led by current NBCUniversal Media Group chairman Mark Lazarus as CEO, will house popular channels including USA, Oxygen, E!, Syfy, and Golf Channel. NBCUniversal will retain control of Bravo, the NBC broadcast network, Peacock streaming service, NBC Sports, and Universal theme parks, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/19/media/comcast-nbcuniversal-cable-spinoff-msnbc/index.html">reported</a> CNN.
The move comes as traditional cable networks face increasing pressure from streaming services. Despite industry headwinds, these channels remain profitable contributors to Comcast&#8217;s bottom line. The spinoff is being positioned as a growth opportunity, with potential for future acquisitions in an industry primed for consolidation.
During a recent investor call, Comcast president Mike Cavanaugh had hinted at the possibility, mentioning plans to evaluate creating &#8220;a new well-capitalized company&#8221; for the cable portfolio networks.

Why It Matters: The restructuring notably separates MSNBC and CNBC from NBC News, potentially unwinding years of integration efforts within NBCUniversal&#8217;s news operations. The company is expected to detail its vision for the news division separation in Wednesday&#8217;s formal announcement.
The announcement comes as media companies navigate a rapidly evolving landscape. Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) CEO Bob Iger recently stated his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41999904/disney-ceo-bob-iger-slams-the-brakes-on-new-ma-amid-comcasts-cable-spinoff-we-dont-need-more-assets-to-compete-in-todays-disruptive-media-landscape">company doesn&#8217;t need additional assets</a> to compete effectively, having already consolidated through its 20th Century Fox acquisition.
Industry analysts have long anticipated such a move. &#8220;Investors have yearned for exactly this, or at least something close to it, for years,&#8221; <a href="https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/nbcuniversal-comcast-cable-spinoff-shut-down-warner-discovery-paramount-1236196378/">said</a> Craig Moffett of MoffettNathanson to Variety.

Target, Nvidia And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly leading a $150 million funding round for Rain AI, a semiconductor startup aiming to rival Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the AI chip market.&nbsp;
What Happened: The funding, which would value Rain AI at around $600 million, follows Altman's participation in the company's $25 million seed round in 2022, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/19/business/sam-altman-seeks-backers-for-ai-chipmaker-to-challenge-nvidia-source/?utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=referral">reported</a> the New York Post, citing sources with direct knowledge.
The next funding round is slated to kick off next month. &#8220;He has introduced the company to all his investors for this series B round,&#8221; the sources stated, referring to Altman.

In June 2024, Rain AI bolstered its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39543601/apple-chip-veteran-joins-sam-altman-backed-ai-startup-to-lead-hardware-engineering">leadership by hiring former</a> Apple Inc. chip executive Jean-Didier Allegrucci as head of hardware engineering.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has described Rain AI as &#8220;one of the legitimate players at the table when it comes to the future of AI and chips.&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of buzz around everything Rain AI is doing and it's the early days of the AI revolution,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;There&#8217;s going to be many players, not just the &#8216;Godfather of AI&#8217; Jensen Huang and Nvidia.&#8221;

OpenAI and Rain AI did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: Jensen Huang-led Nvidia is currently the world&#8217;s most valuable company, with a market capitalization of $3.606 trillion.
Analysts anticipate a &#8220;beat-n-raise&#8221; performance in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42068962/nvidia-q3-earnings-preview-analysts-expect-beat-n-raise-on-continued-data-center-strength">Nvidia&#8217;s third-quarter earnings</a>, projecting revenue of $33.12 billion—up sharply from $18.12 billion in the same period last year.
The AI chip giant is set to announce its earnings on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Although Nvidia&#8217;s new Blackwell AI chips are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42028342/blackwell-backfires-nvidias-ai-chips-struggle-with-server-overheating-impacting-meta-microsoft-and-musks-xai-data-centers">facing overheating concerns</a>, the company&#8217;s valuation is still anticipated to climb, fueled by the promise of its next-generation AI chip.

Meanwhile, last month, Altman&#8217;s OpenAI raised over $6.5 billion in new funding, boosting its valuation to $157 billion.
The funding round was led by Thrive Capital and included major tech players such as Nvidia and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). Since 2019, Microsoft has invested about<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41556636/microsoft-and-openai-clash-over-14-billion-as-the-ai-leader-converts-to-a-for-profit-business-disrup"> $14 billion in OpenAI</a>.

Financial Outlook
We are increasing our full year bookings outlook to $1,822 - $1,832 million, or 14-15% y/y growth, compared to previous guidance of $1,802 - $1,822 million, or 13-14% y/y growth. This high end of this updated outlook reflects the expectation that 2H bookings will accelerate to 17% y/y, compared to previous guidance of 16%, and y/y bookings growth to exit the year at 18%.
We are also updating our full year revenue outlook to $1,757 - $1,764 million, or 13% y/y, compared to $1,747 - $1,761 million previously.
We expect total revenue in Q4'24 of $457 - $464 million, or 13-15% y/y growth.
For the full year 2024, we now expect non-GAAP total gross margin of approximately 69%, slightly up from the 68-69% previously anticipated with non-GAAP Business Solutions gross margin still to exceed 30%. We also now expect non-GAAP operating expenses to be approximately 49% of revenue for the full year, down from approximately 50% previously.
As a result of our increased bookings expectation for the full year coupled with stable operating costs anticipated, we now expect to generate free cash flow, excluding headquarters costs, of $483 - $488 million, or 27-28% of revenue, in 2024, up from $460 - $470 million, or 26-27% of revenue.
The high end of our increased growth and profitability expectations would allow us to exceed the Rule of 40 this year, a full year ahead of our original plan presented to shareholders. Even with the earlier-than-expected achievement of this target, there is still room for further growth acceleration and ample margin expansion in our financial algorithm for 2025 and beyond.

Wix.Com Raises 2024 Outlook: Now Expects Total Bookings Of $1.822B-$1.832B (Prior $1.802B-$1.822B) And Revenue Of $1.757B-$1.764B (Prior $1.747B-$1.761B) Vs. $1.758B Consensus

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) expressed optimism that certain aspects of the proposed strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve could begin to take shape following President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony.
What happened: During an interaction on X spaces hosted by asset manager VanEck on Tuesday, the Republican said she was hopeful of things moving in 2025 but stopped short of giving a specific timeline.
Lummis said that certain actions on the proposed bill could be taken even before it gets congressional approval.
"If we win with the schedule that is proposed in the BITCOIN Act, we could just start by using our existing asset forfeiture Bitcoin to fund the first year of it," she stated. "And then start converting our gold certificates to Bitcoin."

"Some of what we're proposing could begin to take form right after President Trump raises his hand and is sworn in," the senior senator remarked.

The bill outlines a $1 million purchase program to acquire 5% of Bitcoin&#8217;s total supply over five years, with a minimum holding period of 20 years.

STMicroelectronics Capital Markets Day: Outlines 2027-2028 Financial Model With $18B Revenue Target, 22-24% Margins, And $20B+ Ambition By 2030

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood popularly known for leading ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) has raised alarm bells about the state of auto loans in America, noting that 90-day delinquency rates have now exceeded levels seen during the 2009 financial crisis.
What Happened: Wood&#8217;s comments came in response to recent data showing rising auto loan defaults, despite continued investor confidence in auto-backed securities. The Federal Reserve&#8217;s latest Supervision and Regulation Report confirms this trend, highlighting that auto loan delinquencies are approaching five-year highs in 2024.
Delinquency rates on auto loans refer to the percentage of auto loan borrowers who have failed to make their scheduled payments on time. A loan is typically considered delinquent when a payment is missed for a certain period, usually 30, 60, or 90 days.
Rising auto loan delinquency coincides with significant price cuts across the auto industry. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) reduced U.S. prices for its Model Y, Model X, and Model S by $2,000 in April following lower-than-expected first-quarter deliveries. 
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) cut the Mustang Mach-E's price by up to $8,100, and Nissan slashed up to $6,000 off its Ariya SUV. Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) also introduced discounts on Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees.

Despite these warning signs, investors are aggressively pursuing auto loan-backed bonds, with sales of securities tied to subprime auto loans reaching nearly $40 billion through October 2024 &#8211; a 17% increase from 2023&#8217;s total. Nicholas Tripodes, senior portfolio manager at Federated Hermes, reports seeing deals &#8220;almost 20 times oversubscribed,&#8221; according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/wall-street-is-bullish-on-car-loans-despite-rising-delinquencies-5f0f1ec4">to</a> The Wall Street Journal.

Why It Matters: The disconnect between rising delinquencies and investor enthusiasm reflects a broader market dynamic. Auto bonds from Global Lending Services with the lowest investment-grade rating yielded approximately 6% in October, triple the yield of comparable subprime auto loan-backed debt in 2021.
The stress is particularly evident among lower-income borrowers struggling with increased living costs and higher interest rates. The overall auto loan delinquency rate hit 3.8% in June, the highest since 2010, according to Federal Reserve data.
&#8220;The delinquency rate for consumer loans remained elevated in the first half of 2024,&#8221; the Federal Reserve noted, adding that while there was some improvement in credit card delinquencies during the second quarter, auto loan defaults continued to rise year-over-year.
