Described by the management as the &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43503691/uber-stock-is-down-despite-reporting-strongest-quarter-ever-heres-why-investors-are-tapping-the-brakes">strongest quarter ever</a>,&#8217; the shares of Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) plunged after its fourth-quarter earnings due to foreign exchange headwinds amid a stronger dollar and an earnings per share miss.
What Happened: Uber <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43495476/uber-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-growth-in-rides-delivery-and-autonomous-tech-ceo-calls-it-strongest-quarter">missed</a> its adjusted EPS of 48 cents by 52.1% as per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, coming in 23 cents for the fourth quarter. The stock plunged 7.56% to $64.48 apiece after the report.
However, the more significant headwinds in the said quarter were from a 3% annual loss of $1.1 billion on foreign exchange returns, driven by a broad-based strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, with a notable devaluation of the Argentine peso, Brazilian real, and Mexican peso.
Additionally, the first quarter gross bookings outlook incorporates a substantial forex headwind, emphasizing the impact of currency fluctuations on reported growth.
&#8220;We are expecting FX to be a larger topline headwind in Q1,&#8221; said company CFO Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah during the earnings call.
While the fourth quarter gross booking was up 21% year-on-year to $44.2 billion, the company now expects gross bookings in the range of $42-43.5 billion for the first quarter, representing a 5.5 percentage-point currency headwind.
However, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi added, &#8220;Despite FX headwinds, we expect continued strong growth in Q1 with 17% to 21% constant currency gross bookings growth and continued profit expansion.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The U.S. dollar prices have risen since President Donald Trump won the elections and has been engaged in tariff negotiations with some of its biggest trading partners including Canada, China, and Mexico. 
Uber&#8217;s fourth-quarter revenue rose 20% year-on-year to $11.96 billion, exceeding estimates. Mobility revenue grew 25% to $6.91 billion, Delivery was up 21% to $3.77 billion, and Freight was flat at $1.28 billion.
Monthly active users reached 171 million, up 14%. The ride-hailer ended the year with $7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.7 billion in free cash flow. Khosrowshahi also cited record growth in users, trips, and bookings, driven by innovation including autonomous vehicles, calling it the &#8220;strongest quarter ever&#8221;.
Price Action: Uber&#8217;s stock has risen 2.07% on a year-to-date basis, whereas the exchange-traded fund tracking S&amp;P 500, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) advanced 3.35% in the same period. Over the last year, Uber declined by 8.50% and SPY was up 22.32%. The U.S. Dollar Index Spot was up 0.15% to 107.737 level during the publication of this article. 
The average price target among 34 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UBER/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a> is $91.81 with a ‘buy' rating. The estimates range from $77 to $120 apiece. Recent ratings from Needham, UBS, and Cantor Fitzgerald suggest a $92.33 target, implying a potential upside of 41.99%.

Germany Factory Orders (MoM) For December 6.9% Vs. 1.9% Est.; -5.4% Prior

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will reportedly start production at its Shanghai megafactory on Feb. 11, less than a year after starting construction.
What Happened: According to a report from local media outlet Shanghai Securities News, the megafactory in Shanghai, Tesla&#8217;s second globally, will start production on Feb. 11 and ramp up capacity in the first quarter. 
Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for confirmation on the report. 
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42680075/tesla-exec-says-we-will-be-ready-to-efficiently-produce-autonomous-vehicles-as-shanghai-megafactory-nears-completion">Shanghai megafactory</a> is the company's first factory dedicated to the production of energy storage products outside the U.S. Currently, Tesla has only one other factory dedicated to manufacturing megapacks, located in Lathrop, California. The Lathrop facility has the capability of producing 40 GWh of energy storage products.
Tesla officially began the construction of the Shanghai megafactory in May, taking only seven months from the start of construction to starting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42737037/tesla-shanghai-megafactory-starts-trial-production-seven-months-after-breaking-ground">trial production</a> in December.
Megapack is a powerful battery manufactured by the company in addition to its home battery called Powerwall.&nbsp;Each megapack unit can store over 3.9 Megawatt-hours of energy or enough to power an average of 3,600 homes for an hour.
Why It Matters: Tesla reported revenue of over $3 billion from its energy generation and storage segment in the fourth quarter or more than double the $1.44 billion reported in the corresponding quarter of 2023, upon deploying a record&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780335/teslas-evergy-storage-deployements-rise-in-q4-even-as-vehicle-deliveries-disappoint" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">11.0 GWh of energy storage products</a>.
Revenue from the energy segment accounted for about 12% of the company's total revenue in the quarter, while the automotive segment accounted for 77%. The company reported quarterly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43321103/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-ev-updates-automaker-says-2025-will-be-a-seminal-year" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">total revenue</a>&nbsp;of $25.71 billion, missing a street consensus estimate of $27.26 billion.
Tesla continues to be&nbsp;<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" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hopeful for its energy segment</a>&nbsp;for it said late last month that it expects energy storage deployment to grow at least 50% year-over-year in 2025. Both the powerwall and megapack continue to be supply-constrained as it opens to new markets, the company added.

Noted short seller Jim Chanos raised the alarm about potential unpredictable risks and excessive speculation in the U.S. markets, citing the recent DeepSeek debacle that wiped out nearly $1 trillion in market value.
What Happened: In a conversation with <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-02-05/full-digital-jim-chanos-president-founder-chanos-company">Bloomberg TV</a> on Wednesday, Chanos highlighted that the most significant threats to the U.S. markets in the next six to twelve months would be unforeseen events akin to the DeepSeek incident. &#8220;The real risks will be something like DeepSeek that comes out of left field that changes people's thinking,&#8221; Chanos said. &#8220;By definition, we do not know what that is.&#8221;
Chanos also voiced his worries about excessive speculation in the stock market. However, he pointed out that it has not yet reached the heights of the 2021 boom when the S&amp;P 500 soared by 27%. He stressed the need for investors to differentiate between companies that justify their high valuations and those that do not.
Furthermore, Chanos expressed concerns about the market&#8217;s reaction to political drama, particularly President Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs. He argued that a 10% levy against China would not generate significant revenues and suggested that tariffs would need to be significantly increased on both China and the EU.

Kevin O&#8217;Leary Calls BS On DeepSeek&#8217;s $6M Budget, Claims They Ripped Off 60k Nvidia Chips From The Black Market</a>
Why It Matters: The DeepSeek incident Chanos referred to has been a hot topic in the AI industry. The Chinese AI startup, DeepSeek, developed an open-source language model, R1, for under $6 million, which outperformed established competitors in several tests, challenging the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43382103/experts-say-deepseek-proves-high-performance-ai-possible-without-silicon-valleys-spending">big-spending approach</a> prevalent in Silicon Valley.
However, DeepSeek came under scrutiny when U.S. officials began investigating whether it acquired advanced Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips through backdoor channels, potentially bypassing U.S. sanctions.
Furthermore, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/02/43491799/meta-ai-models-clearly-behind-deepseek-says-analysts-after-mark-zuckerberg-admitted-deepseek-did-some-novel-things-were-still-digesting">a research note </a>from Piper Sandler suggested that while DeepSeek is ahead of Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) latest Llama model, it still lags behind leading AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic by about six months.
Meanwhile, Don Townswick, director of equity strategies at Conning Asset Management warned that the impact of DeepSeek could shake the U.S. markets once again. Speaking to MarketWatch, he stated, "If DeepSeek's technology turns out to be less reliable than currently believed, the ‘Magnificent Seven' stocks would likely benefit.&#8221; On the whole, Townswick sees broader corporate gains in the long run if more companies integrate cheaper AI solutions if DeepSeek succeeds in offering a lower-cost AI alternative.
These developments have triggered a mix of optimism about democratized AI and fears of an AI stock bubble bursting, sending ripples throughout financial markets.

Second quarter revenues are expected to be approximately $105 million, with gross profit of $45 million and adjusted EBITDA of $15 million. These results reflect challenging conditions in Argentina, which remains a decisive market for the financial performance of the company in the first half of the year. Farmer purchasing behavior in the country changed significantly compared to the prior year, driven by macroeconomic conditions and unfavorable weather. This, together with high channel inventories, led to lower crop protection and micro-beaded fertilizer sales.

DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng said China has prioritized short-term profits over innovation for decades—but now, the country must shift gears and build a strong AI ecosystem similar to what helped Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) dominate the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43401844/taiwan-bans-deepseek-ai-over-security-concerns-joins-global-scrutiny-of-chinese-tech">global semiconductor market</a>.
What Happened: In an interview with Chinese tech news outlet 36Kr and <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/36Kr-KrASIA/DeepSeek-founder-says-China-AI-will-stop-following-U.S">translated</a> by Nikkei Asia, Liang reflected on why DeepSeek's AI advancements have stunned Silicon Valley.
&#8220;Chinese companies had only followed them [the U.S.] up until that point, but this time we entered the field as an innovator,&#8221; Liang stated.
However, he argued that China's AI industry lacks the support structure needed to sustain innovation and that relying on Western breakthroughs is no longer an option.

&#8220;China should stop relying on others&#8217; achievements and, in line with its economic growth, gradually switch its role to becoming a contributor to innovations,&#8221; Liang said.
He compared China's AI struggles to its semiconductor industry, which has lagged due to a lack of technology communities and industry backing.
&#8220;U.S. semiconductor giant Nvidia managed to establish its current position not simply through the efforts of a single company but through the efforts of Western technology communities and industries,&#8221; he explained.
&#8220;The Chinese AI industry needs to create such an ecosystem,&#8221; Liang added.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s DeepSeek has made waves with its low-cost AI assistant app. The company said it spent just $5.6 million on <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43382103/experts-say-deepseek-proves-high-performance-ai-possible-without-silicon-valleys-spending">semiconductor chips</a>. This is roughly one-tenth of what giants like OpenAI and Meta Platforms have invested in chips for their AI applications.
When the market saw that AI performance could remain strong with fewer, slower chips, it impacted suppliers of high-end chips.
On Jan. 27, Nvidia shares fell 17%. However, since then, chip stocks and AI-focused companies have seen a rebound.
During earnings calls, Mark Zuckerberg and Satya Nadella praised DeepSeek, while Sundar Pichai said that Google's Gemini <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43487551/sundar-pichai-acknowledges-deepseeks-ai-advancementsbut-says-googles-gemini-still-leads-in-cost-performance-and-latency">remains superior</a>. Palantir, however, warned clients against using DeepSeek.

DeepSeek Founder Liang Wenfeng Says China Put Profits Over Innovation — But Now Beijing Must Build A Tech Ecosystem To Rival Nvidia

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), is aiming to fill a significant void in the investment landscape between traditional market indices and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), CEO Michael Saylor revealed during the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43511849/strategy-q4-earnings-bitcoin-treasury-company-spends-205b-on-btc-shares-inch-higher-despite-revenue-miss">fourth-quarter earnings call on Wednesday</a>.
What Happened: The Bitcoin treasury firm, holding 471,107 Bitcoin valued at $46.1 billion, has pinpointed what Saylor describes as a &#8220;large pool of investors&#8221; positioned between traditional assets like the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which have volatility levels of 15-20, and Bitcoin&#8217;s 50-60 volatility—creating a roughly 45% gap.
&#8220;Between 15 vol and 60-vol, that&#8217;s a big, big area,&#8221; Saylor said, outlining the company&#8217;s strategy to create investment products targeting different volatility preferences. This includes the newly launched Strike preferred shares, offering an 8% dividend yield with Bitcoin exposure.
The initiative comes as Strategy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43511849/strategy-q4-earnings-bitcoin-treasury-company-spends-205b-on-btc-shares-inch-higher-despite-revenue-miss">reported fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $120.7 million, missing analyst estimates of $123.25 million. However, the company significantly accelerated its Bitcoin acquisition, purchasing 218,887 Bitcoin for $20.5 billion in the fourth quarter alone.

Why It Matters: Strategy&#8217;s common stock targets even higher volatility than Bitcoin itself, aiming for 80-90 vol, while maintaining what Saylor describes as &#8220;intelligent leverage&#8221; through a combination of equity issuance and convertible bonds.
&#8220;We engineer the business in order to stay volatile,&#8221; Saylor said, contrasting Strategy&#8217;s approach with traditional corporate treasury operations that typically minimize volatility.
The company has raised over $22 billion in 2024 to fuel this strategy, including $15 billion through equity issuances and $3 billion via convertible debt in the fourth quarter. Strategy has set an ambitious target of $10 billion in &#8220;BTC $ Gain&#8221; for 2025, indicating confidence in its multi-tiered volatility approach.
Price Action: MicroStrategy stock closed at $336.70 on Wednesday, down $11.61 or 3.33% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock declined further to $332.00, losing an additional 1.40%. Despite the daily drop, the stock has surged 576.10% over the past year, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Guidance

This is a 55.93 percent decrease over earnings of $1.18 per share from the same period last year. The company reported quarterly sales of $14.714 billion which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $15.323 billion by 3.97 percent.

ArcelorMittal Q4 2024 Adj. EPS $0.52 Misses $0.65 Estimate, Sales $14.714B Miss $15.323B Estimate

Despite beating the street&#8217;s earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43509115/qualcomm-q1-earnings-highlights-record-revenue-eps-beat-estimates">expectations</a>, posting a record first-quarter revenue, and showcasing strength in on-device artificial intelligence inference, Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) shares fell 4.6% after market hours over the weak second-quarter guidance.
What Happened: Qualcomm's QCT segment delivered a record $10.1 billion in the first quarter, up 20% year-over-year.
However, the company CFO and COO, Akash Palkhiwala, during its earnings call said that Qualcomm expects QCT revenues of $8.9 billion to $9.5 billion.
QCT, which stands for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, is a division of Qualcomm, one of the largest suppliers of wireless chipset technology and software solutions.
&#8220;On a sequential basis, the decline in QCT handset revenues is primarily driven by seasonality and shipments to Apple,&#8221; added Palkhiwala.
Furthermore, from an earnings-per-share perspective, the CFO added that &#8220;third quarter is the low point because you don&#8217;t have as many flagship launches in it.&#8221;
Thus, despite a strong first quarter the stock took a beating and fell 4.6% in after-hours to $167.77 apiece. The shares also fell 4.36% overnight on Robinhood.

Why It Matters: Despite the guidance headwinds, Qualcomm emphasized its leadership in on-device AI inference, highlighting the DeepSeek-R1 models running on Snapdragon devices.
The president and CEO, Cristiano R Amon stated that increasing AI adoption encourages the development of more targeted, purpose-oriented models and applications.
&#8220;With the industry&#8217;s most powerful and efficient AI processors for the edge, we&#8217;re well-positioned to drive this transition and benefit from this upcoming inflection point,&#8221; he added.
Amon also highlighted the Samsung Galaxy S25 series featuring QCOM&#8217;s Snapdragon 8 Elite. &#8220;The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy delivers the latest AI experiences, showcasing one of the best integrations of Galaxy AI and Google Gemini,&#8221; he added.

EPS also surpassed expectations at $3.41.
QCT segment revenue was driven by handsets at $7.57 billion, up 13% year-on-year. The QCT automotive segment was up 61% annually at $961 million, a sixth consecutive record quarter. Additionally, the Internet of Things grew by 36% year-on-year to $1.55 billion.
Lastly, Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL) revenue reached $1.5B, up 5% annually.
Price Action: Qualcomm stock has risen 14.46% on a year-to-date basis, whereas the exchange-traded fund tracking Nasdaq 100, Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) advanced 3.26% in the same period. Over the last year, QCOM grew by 22.04% and QQQ was up 23.21%.

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is looking to hire several engineers and manufacturing technicians as it seeks to ramp up production of its humanoid robot nicknamed Optimus.
What Happened: Tesla&#8217;s careers page shows multiple openings ranging from production manager, manufacturing quality technician, manufacturing engineer, and more for the robot, mostly based out of California. 
The process engineer position job listing says the hired individual will &#8220;identify and resolve key constraints to full-scale production while leading cross-functional implementation of complex assembly processes to production.&#8221;
&#8220;My team is turning Tesla Bot into a reality! We&#8217;re building Tesla Bot in our Fremont Factory in California and we&#8217;re looking for engineers up for the challenge of getting this product ramped up for high volume production,&#8221; Karissa Thein, Senior Sourcer at Tesla, said in a post on Linkedin. 
Why It Matters: Tesla CEO Elon Musk said late last month that the company intends to make <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43325888/tesla-likely-to-sell-optimus-to-rival-companies-in-2026-price-point-of-humanoid-robot-to-be-detemined-by-demand-says-ceo-elon-musk">several thousand units of its Optimus humanoid robot this year</a> for deployment in its factory which will inform the next version of the robot slated for launch next year and likely to be sold to rival companies.
Musk said that the company will make a few thousand Optimus robots this year which will do chores at the Tesla factory by the end of the year which employees do not like to do. These robots will inform the production of the next version of the robot which will be launched mid-next year and be likely sold to other companies, the CEO said, while adding that there is a lack of certainty on the exact timing.
Talking about the price of the humanoid robot, Musk said that the robot's production cost will be below $20,000 once production touches a million units a year. However, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41354482/tesla-engineer-admits-optimus-robots-were-human-assisted-to-some-extent-at-robotaxi-unveiling-event">price of Optimus </a>will be set by market demand, Musk said, while also stating that he expects demand will not be a problem even at a high price owing to the multiple use cases on the product. 
"I think long-term Optimus has the potential to be north of $10 trillion in revenue. Like, it's real bananas," Musk then said.&nbsp;
