Do Kwon, co-founder of disgraced Terraform Labs, will face trial in a year&#8217;s time for his alleged role in the $40 billion criminal fraud case involving the collapse of Terra Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">LUNC</a>) and sister stablecoin TerraUSD (USTC), according to a report on Wednesday.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer set a trial date for Jan. 26, 2026, in New York, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-08/terraform-s-do-kwon-to-face-2026-trial-in-ny-on-us-fraud-charges">expected </a>to last for four to eight weeks, Bloomberg reported.
Kwon has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42773042/terra-lunas-do-kwon-to-face-criminal-fraud-charges-in-us">accused of various counts of commodities fraud</a>, conspiracy, securities fraud, and wire fraud in connection with the collapse of LUNC and stablecoin TerraUSD in 2022, which caused an estimated $40 billion loss.
The drop had far-reaching consequences, undermining investor confidence and resulting in prolonged months of lower valuations, also known as a bear market.

Kwon was extradited from Montenegro to face these charges in a U.S. court. He pleaded not guilty to these charges.
Do Kwon&#8217;s extradition <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42758091/terra-classic-token-rallies-as-terraform-labs-do-kwon-extradited-to-the-us-from-montenegro">ended a legal tug-of-war</a> between the U.S. and South Korea, his native country, over competing extradition requests.
Price Action: At the time of writing, LUNC was exchanging hands at $0.0001036, down 2.77% 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.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The coin has lost nearly 20% of its value in the last month.

Terra Classic Sinks As Terraform Founder Do Kwon Set To Stand Trial In 2026 For Alleged $40 Billion Fraud

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg's accusation of censorship has been firmly denied by the European Commission.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the European Commission dismissed claims by Meta that EU data laws censor social media, reported Reuters.
The Commission stated that their regulations only mandate the removal of illegal content. &#8220;We absolutely refute any claims of censorship,&#8221; said a Commission spokesperson.

Zuckerberg had criticized European laws, stating they hinder innovation by institutionalizing censorship. In response, the Commission said that the Digital Services Act does not compel platforms to remove lawful content but targets harmful material.
Meta has decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42851889/meta-ditches-fact-checking-for-community-notes-zuckerberg-says-opportunity-to-restore-free-expression">eliminate fact-checkers</a> for its platforms in the U.S., opting for a &#8220;community notes&#8221; system similar to that used by Elon Musk's X.
The European Commission noted that for such a system to operate in the EU, platforms must conduct risk assessments and submit them to the EU executive.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: The tension between Meta Platforms and the European Union is not new. In November 2024, the European Commission imposed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41981957/meta-hit-with-841-million-eu-fine-over-antitrust-violations-tied-to-facebook-marketplace">$841 million fine</a> on Meta for antitrust violations related to Facebook Marketplace.
Later in December, Meta faced another setback when the Irish Data Protection Commission fined the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42537434/meta-fined-264-million-over-2018-facebook-data-breach-in-europe">$264 million over a 2018 data breach</a>.&nbsp;
Price Action: Meta's stock closed Wednesday's trading session down 1.16%, finishing at $610.72. In after-hours trading, the shares dipped an additional 0.34%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Accuses EU Of Censorship, Spokesperson Pushes Back On Meta's Allegations: 'We Absolutely Refute Any Claims'

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) inventory in the U.S. now shows non-foundation series Cybertrucks listed together with the more premium foundation series of the vehicle.
What Happened: At the start of the week, Tesla had only foundation series Cybertrucks listed on its inventory. 
The foundation series refers to a limited and pricier edition of the Cybertruck with laser-etched foundation series badges and premium accessories.
Tesla made only the foundation series Cybertrucks for the first few months of deliveries. In October, Tesla started selling the regular version of Cybertruck priced about $20,000 lower than the foundation series.
Tesla&#8217;s inventory now shows multiple non-foundation series Cybertrucks, priced lower than the foundation series offerings. While the non-foundation series all-wheel drive variant of the Cybertruck has a starting price of $79,990, the non-foundation series Cyberbeast variant of the truck starts at $99,990. 
Why It Matters: Benzinga first noted the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42524912/teslas-99k-foundation-series-cybertrucks-still-available-a-sign-of-possible-demand-hurdles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">foundation series Cybertrucks in Tesla's inventory</a>&nbsp;in mid-December. Tesla has, since then, added offers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42712707/tesla-offers-free-lifetime-supercharging-with-foundation-series-cybertruck-as-it-looks-to-clear-inventory" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">including free supercharging</a>&nbsp;on the vehicle if the order is placed on or after Dec. 27. The offer, it then said, will only be available for a limited time.
However, a week later, there are still foundation-series Cybertrucks left in the inventory and the company is continuing to offer free supercharging during the period of initial ownership, hinting that potential customers might be unwilling to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41873767/cybertruck-likely-wont-be-profitable-in-q4-says-tesla-researcher" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;pay a premium for the stainless steel truck.</a>

The International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association and U.S. Maritime Alliance reached a tentative six-year master contract agreement on Wednesday, averting potential supply chain disruptions at East Coast and Gulf ports ahead of the Jan. 15 deadline.
The deal, which requires ratification from both parties, notably includes compromises on port automation while preserving labor protections. 
Sources familiar with the negotiations <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/08/union-dockworkers-port-employers-announce-tentative-labor-deal-at-east-coast-and-gulf-ports.html">told</a> CNBC that while full automation was excluded, USMX members gained the flexibility to implement modernization technologies, with guaranteed ILA positions tied to new equipment deployments.
A technology committee, including ILA President Harold Daggett and other union and port representatives, will oversee future technological implementations. The arrangement aims to enhance port efficiency and capacity while maintaining strong labor relations through 2031.
Both organizations stated in a joint announcement that the agreement &#8220;creates ILA jobs, supports American consumers and businesses, and keeps the American economy the key hub of the global marketplace.&#8221; Specific terms remain undisclosed pending member review and ratification votes, for which dates have not been set.

East Coast Ports Avoid Disruptions As Union, Maritime Alliance Reach 6-Year Deal On Automation, Labor Protections

Elon Musk&#8216;s rocket manufacturing company SpaceX said on Wednesday that it is preparing to launch its ambitious Starship launch vehicle on its seventh flight test as soon as Monday, Jan. 13. 
What Happened: The launch window opens at 4:00 p.m. CT on Monday. However, the company warned that the schedule is also likely to change. 
SpaceX has previously said that its Starship vehicle, currently undergoing testing and development, will launch from Starbase in Texas for its seventh flight test carrying 10 Starlink simulators which are similar in size and weight to the company&#8217;s next-generation Starlink satellites in a bid to demonstrate its capabilities in the satellite launch segment.
For the upcoming flight, SpaceX is looking to catch the two-stage vehicle's booster back at the launch pad at Starbase with the launch tower's metallic arms like on its fifth test flight in October. However, in case of any safety concerns, the company will splash it down in the Gulf of Mexico, it said.
The spacecraft, meanwhile, is slated to be splashed down in the Indian Ocean on the upcoming test.
While SpaceX has conducted 6 test flights of its ambitious launch vehicle to date, none of them carried any payload. The last test flight of Starship was in November.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Starship is key to many big ambitions in the field of space exploration.
While NASA is looking forward to landing humans back on the surface of the Moon after a gap of over 50 years with the help of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">custom version of the Starship</a>, Musk dreams of taking&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">humans to the planet Mars</a>&nbsp;aboard the&nbsp;vehicle.
The last time humans set foot on the Moon was in 1972&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36692749/just-a-worse-version-of-apollo-elon-musk-baffled-by-nasa-veterans-push-to-ditch-spacex-blue-origin-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with Apollo 17</a>. Since then, no crew has traveled beyond low-Earth orbit.
In December, Musk pegged the seventh flight test of Starship for Jan. 10. However, earlier this week, Musk said the launch date has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42866518/spacexs-starship-7th-test-flight-delayed-says-elon-musk-now-expected-next-week">pushed to next week</a>. The CEO did not provide any reasons for the delay.

Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has clarified its privacy policies regarding Siri, following a $95 million settlement over allegations of unauthorized recordings. The company emphasized&nbsp;that it has never sold&nbsp;or used Siri data for marketing purposes.
What Happened: According to&nbsp;Reuters, Apple addressed its privacy stance on Wednesday, stating, &#8220;Apple has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles, never made it available for advertising, and never sold it to anyone for any purpose.&#8221;
This comes after accusations that Apple recorded private conversations through Siri and shared them with third parties, including advertisers. Although Apple settled the lawsuit, it did not admit to these claims.
Apple explained that certain Siri&nbsp;features require real-time input from&nbsp;Apple servers, but only minimal data is used to ensure accurate results.
Apple also noted that audio recordings of Siri interactions are not kept unless users opt-in to improve Siri. Even then, the recordings are solely for enhancement purposes. The company remains committed to advancing technologies to enhance Siri&#8217;s privacy.
A similar lawsuit involving Google&#8217;s Voice Assistant is ongoing in San Jose, California, with the same law firms representing the plaintiffs as in the Apple case.

Why It Matters: The settlement, as reported earlier, could benefit millions of U.S. consumers who owned Apple devices between September 2014 and December 2024. Eligible users can&nbsp;receive up to $20 per&nbsp;Siri-enabled device, with a limit of five claims per person. Approved claimants should receive payments within 60 days of filing.
The settlement involving Apple is part of a broader trend where tech giants are facing scrutiny over privacy concerns. In December 2023,&nbsp;Google&nbsp;agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36296656/google-agrees-to-700m-settlement-in-antitrust-case-promises-play-store-policy-revisions">$700 million settlement</a> in an antitrust case, which included commitments to amend its Play Store policies to foster competition. This settlement, pending final approval, could provide eligible consumers with reimbursements for purchases made on Google Play.
Earlier in June 2023,&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;agreed to pay over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/06/32663055/amazon-agrees-to-pay-over-30m-to-settle-alexa-ring-spying-claims-despite-disagreement-with-ftc">$30 million to settle claims</a> related to privacy violations involving its Alexa and Ring devices. The Federal Trade Commission accused Amazon of spying on customers through Ring doorbell cameras and violating children&#8217;s privacy rights with Alexa recordings.

Apple Clarifies Siri Privacy Policy After $95 Million Settlement Over Allegations Of Unauthorized Recordings

U.S. Treasury yields continued their upward march as prominent economist Mohamed El-Erian predicts yields could remain elevated through 2025, highlighting persistent inflation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42878896/dollar-jumps-to-14-month-highs-30-year-yields-near-danger-zone-as-trump-mulls-national-economic-emergency-to-set-tariffs">concerns and shifting market dynamics</a>.
What Happened: The 20-year Treasury yield reached 4.96%, while the 10-year Treasury yield was 4.66% on Wednesday, reflecting broader moves across fixed-income markets. 
El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, suggested on the social media platform X that the 10-year Treasury yield could &#8220;spend quite a bit of 2025 in the 4.75-5% range,&#8221; despite consistent inflows into fixed income from both domestic and international investors.

The yield trajectory comes amid uncertainty about the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate path, particularly as markets digest potential policy shifts under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42886101/investors-should-expect-no-rate-cuts-in-q1-2025-after-federal-reserves-december-minutes-release-strategist-says">the incoming administration</a>. Recent Fed minutes revealed officials used variations of the word &#8220;uncertain&#8221; twelve times, according to Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial.
Speaking <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L59wnuI7od4">on</a> CNBC, El-Erian downplayed concerns about inflation readings being &#8220;hotter than expected,&#8221; arguing that current inflation targets may be outdated. This perspective aligns with some Fed officials&#8217; views that economic strength may not necessarily fuel inflationary pressures.
Larry Tentarelli, chief technical strategist at Blue Chip Daily Trend Report, expects the Federal Reserve to maintain current <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42886101/investors-should-expect-no-rate-cuts-in-q1-2025-after-federal-reserves-december-minutes-release-strategist-says">rates through early 2025</a>. &#8220;Investors should expect no rate cuts in Q1 2025 and 10-year US Treasury yields in the 4.50 to 5.00% range,&#8221; he noted.

Why It Matters: Markets showed mixed reactions to these developments. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) closed slightly lower, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a modest 0.25% gain.
The yield environment suggests investors may need to adapt their strategies. El-Erian advocates for &#8220;bar-belled investment portfolios&#8221; and bottom-up, name-driven investing rather than broad market or thematic approaches in the volatile year ahead.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) remains unable to sell its iPhone 16 in Indonesia.
What Happened: Apple has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42170518/apples-100-million-offer-rejected-as-indonesia-enforces-iphone-16-sales-ban">not met Indonesia&#8217;s domestic</a> content requirements, which stipulate that smartphones sold in the country must include at least 35% locally-made components.
This rule <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41350072/iphone-16-sales-banned-in-indonesia-after-apples-investments-obligations-in-asian-giant-fall-sho">led to the ban</a> on iPhone 16 sales last year.
According to Indonesia&#8217;s Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, Apple has agreed to establish a facility on Batam Island to produce its AirTag devices.
However, this does not satisfy the local content criteria for iPhones, reported Reuters.

&#8220;There is no basis for the ministry to issue a local content certification as a way for Apple to have the permission to sell iPhone 16 because (the facility) has no direct relations,&#8221; Agus stated, adding that only phone components would be considered.
Indonesia&#8217;s investment minister announced the factory&#8217;s value at $1 billion, with operations expected to commence next year.

Why It Matters: The ban on iPhone 16 sales in Indonesia is a significant hurdle for Apple, especially given its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41328252/apples-iphone-16-powers-record-sales-in-q3-just-behind-samsung-in-global-market-share-battle">record sales performance</a> in the third quarter of 2024. Apple narrowly trailed Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) in global market share, capturing 18%.
iPhones play a crucial role in Apple&#8217;s earnings, making up about half of the company&#8217;s total revenue. 
The tech giant reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in">strong financial results</a> in the fourth quarter, with a revenue beat of $94.9 billion. iPhone revenue climbed to $46.22 billion, up from $43.8 billion in the previous year.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock ended Wednesday&#8217;s trading session with a 0.2% increase, closing at $242.7. However, in after-hours trading, the shares slipped by 0.12%, settling at $242.4, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple's Airtag Factory Fails To Impress Indonesia: iPhone 16 Sales Remain Banned Despite Local Production Plans

Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google and former executive chairman of Alphabet Inc. (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>), has reportedly invested in Relativity Space Inc., a company specializing in 3D-printed rockets.
What Happened: Relativity Space, headquartered in Long Beach, California, was established in 2015 with the ambition of creating rockets that are nearly entirely 3D-printed. The company, which encountered fundraising hurdles in 2024, launched its first rocket, Terran 1, in 2023 but failed to achieve orbit. They have since redirected their efforts towards the larger Terran R, anticipated to launch in 2026. According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-09/ex-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-said-to-be-relativity-space-investor">Bloomberg</a>, Schmidt has been supporting the company since last year.
Schmidt&#8217;s investment came at a time when the company faced difficulties in securing capital for the development of Terran R and its daily operations. The company was valued at $4.2 billion in 2021, with investors such as Fidelity Management &amp; Research Company, Jared Leto, and Mark Cuban.
Schmidt, who served as Google&#8217;s CEO until 2011 and later as executive chairman, has been involved in various philanthropic and investment endeavors since leaving the board in 2019.&nbsp;
Schmidt and Relativity Space have yet to respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>&#8216;s queries. 
Why It Matters: The investment by Eric Schmidt in Relativity Space comes at a time when the modern space race is intensifying, with private companies vying for dominance in orbit. This new era, often referred to as &#8220;Space Race 2.0,&#8221; presents significant investment opportunities as private enterprises, such as&nbsp;SpaceX, lead the charge. In 2024, SpaceX achieved a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42755343/spacex-hits-new-milestone-in-2024-with-134-launches">milestone with 134 launches</a>, showcasing the rapid advancements in the industry. Relativity Space, despite its initial setbacks, remains a key player in this competitive landscape.

What Happened: Bitcoin dipped below $93,000 during the afternoon hours before swinging back above $94,000 overnight.
The leading cryptocurrency has corrected sharply from the highs of $102,000 hit earlier in the week.
Ethereum fell to an intraday low of $3,209, its lowest since Dec. 20.&nbsp;
The downtrend triggered liquidations of over $539 million in the last 24 hours, with more than $400 million in upside bets getting wiped out.
Bitcoin's Open Interest dropped 3.21% in the last 24 hours. A drop in Open Interest, coming alongside a drop in price, also indicated the liquidation of long positions. 
Despite this, over 63% of traders on Binance were going long, according to the Long/Short Ratio, suggesting that they were buying the dip.
The market sentiment remained one of "Greed," according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez said Bitcoin needs to reclaim $100,000 to invalidate the bearish narrative and resume its march to new all-time highs.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Drop After Fed Minutes Casts Shadow Over Interest Rate Cuts: Top Analyst Says BTC Must Claim $100K To Overcome Bearish Outlook

On Wednesday, the Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) said that its streaming platforms have reached another milestone.
What Happened: The company's streaming platforms, Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, have amassed approximately 157 million monthly active users globally who engage with ad-supported content.
This figure includes 112 million users in the United States and represents an average over the past six months.
The update was shared during the annual CES tech conference in Las Vegas.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42880721/whats-going-on-with-fubotv-stock-after-disney-deal">What&#8217;s Going On With FuboTV Stock After Disney Deal?</a>
While traditional television has established methods for measuring viewership, the streaming industry lacks a standardized approach for gauging global advertising audiences.
Disney&#8217;s Advertising division has developed a methodology to estimate ad-supported audience numbers consistently worldwide.
It involves calculating active accounts across Disney&#8217;s streaming services that have viewed ad-supported content for more than 10 seconds.
Each active account is multiplied by the estimated number of users per account to determine the total user count. Users subscribing to multiple platforms may be counted more than once.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Disney&#8217;s achievement in the ad-supported streaming space is noteworthy, especially as competitors like Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Prime Video also expand their ad-supported tiers.
In November 2024, Netflix reported 70 million monthly users for its ad-supported tier. During the same time, it was reported that about 80% of Amazon Prime viewers have subscribed to the newly introduced ad-supported tier.
Disney&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41971559/disneys-q4-boosted-by-streaming-gains-strong-box-office-and-solid-parks-performance">fourth-quarter earnings</a>, where the company reported a 6% increase in revenue, reached $22.57 billion. This growth was partly driven by gains in its streaming services, which ended the quarter with 174 million Disney+ Core and Hulu subscriptions.&nbsp;
Price Action: Disney&#8217;s stock closed Wednesday&#8217;s trading session down by 1.46%, settling at $109.76. However, in after-hours trading, the shares gained 1.18%, rising to $111.05, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, praised the vehicle&#8217;s capability during the crisis.
What Happened: &#8220;Cybertruck was my hero today,&#8221; Gerber posted on X, describing how the vehicle navigated fallen trees and flooded roads while mentioning the HEPA filter system which protects from smoke.

The Los Angeles Fire Department reported zero containment as of Wednesday morning, with wind gusts reaching up to 100 mph complicating firefighting efforts.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never witnessed destruction like this,&#8221; Gerber wrote, describing the devastation in Pacific Palisades, where he estimated up to 75% of homes could be affected. He particularly noted seeing &#8220;a dozen $20 million houses burning north of sunset.&#8221;

Ekso Bionics&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ekso-stock-quote/">EKSO</a>) stock is taking a beating on Tuesday following the release of the exoskeleton company&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ekso-bionics-reports-record-quarterly-200500459.html">Q2 earnings report</a>.



The bad news for Ekso Bionics starts with its diluted earnings per share of -13 cents. That&rsquo;s worse than the <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ekso-bionics-ekso-reports-q2-214505963.html">-11 cents per share</a> Wall Street was expecting. Even if it&rsquo;s an improvement over the company&rsquo;s -31 cents per share from the same period of the year prior.



Also not helping matters is Ekso Bionics&rsquo; revenue of $4.95 million for the quarter. Yet again, that&rsquo;s worse than the $5.17 million analysts were expecting from the company. Even if it&rsquo;s up 5% year-over-year from $4.7 million.



Ekso Bionics CEO Scott Davis said the following in the Q2 earnings report.




&ldquo;With the Medicare reimbursement mechanisms in place, we are focused on reaching a larger U.S. population of individuals living with a spinal cord injury (&ldquo;SCI&rdquo;) and anticipate increased demand for Ekso Indego Personal in the second half of the year and longer term.&rdquo;




<h2>How This Affects EKSO Stock</h2>



Ekso Bionics stock isn&rsquo;t seeing much trading activity this morning despite the lackluster earnings report. This has about 12,000 shares changing hands as of this writing. That&rsquo;s still well below its daily average trading volume of about 55,000 shares.



EKSO stock is down 15.2% as of Tuesday morning. The stock was also down 52.1% year-to-date when markets closed yesterday.
