The administration under President Donald Trump is preparing to channel up to $1 billion into measures to counter the persistent bird flu epidemic or avian influenza (HPAI) and augment egg imports, in an attempt to address skyrocketing prices.
What Happened: U.S. Agriculture Secretary&nbsp;Brooke Rollins&nbsp;revealed the funding strategy, which is a response to a three-year bird flu crisis that has led to the demise of&nbsp;approximately 166 million chickens, according to USDA data. The virus has also impacted close to 1,000 dairy herds and infected nearly 70 people, resulting in one reported death since early 2024.
The USDA plans to assign up to $500 million for complimentary biosecurity audits for&nbsp;farms and a sum of $400 million to&nbsp;enhance compensation rates for farmers who need to eliminate their chickens due to the flu, stated Rollins at a state agriculture officials conference. The funding will come from the USDA&#8217;s Commodity Credit Corporation, a discretionary fund accessible to the secretary, explained by Rollins&#8217; chief of staff, Kailee Tkacz Buller, as per Reuters.
Rollins further stated that other strategies include $100 million allocated for vaccine research, efforts to ease regulatory burdens on the egg and chicken industry, and consideration of temporary import solutions.
Although the USDA is contemplating vaccines for chickens, they have not received approval yet. Opinions in the poultry industry are split on this issue due to possible trade impacts. The administration also plans to increase egg imports and reduce exports to strengthen the domestic supply and combat record-high egg prices. Turkey has committed to exporting 15,000 tons of eggs to the U.S. by July, a move expected to substantially boost the nation&#8217;s egg supply.

Why It Matters: This move comes in the wake of a recent debate over food affordability solutions, sparked by prominent economic commentator Noah Smith. As egg prices hit record levels, Smith mocked President Donald Trump and suggested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43905413/trump-economy-as-egg-prices-soar-economist-mocks-shift-to-chickpeas">alternatives to eggs</a>, such as chickpeas. 
High egg prices have been a key cause of the inflation in the country. The most recent monthly consumer price index revealed that the average cost of a dozen Grade A eggs in U.S. cities rose to $4.95 in January. Specialty options, like organic and cage-free eggs, come at an even higher price. On Wednesday, the USDA predicted that egg prices, already at record highs, could surge by over 40% in 2025.
The USDA&#8217;s plan to increase egg imports, particularly from Turkey, is expected to alleviate the current egg shortage and stabilize prices.
That being said, Rollins acknowledged, "It's going to take a while to get through, I think in the next month or two, but hopefully by summer.&#8221; Rollins is also confident that the USDA will have sufficient staff to respond to bird flu, despite the DOGE-led federal workforce reductions.

&#8220;Data centers will increasingly become AI factories, and every company will have either rented or self-operated,&#8221; said Huang during the earnings call.

As Wedbush analyst Dan Ives highlighted the company&#8217;s strength in &#8220;AI Revolution,&#8221; FinChat replied to his X post sharing quarterly data of Nvidia&#8217;s data center revenue over five years. From $1 billion in the January quarter of 2020, the revenue has grown by 3460% to $35.6 billion in the quarter ended January 2025.

Why It Matters: Intel dominated the data center market in 2022, but its reign faltered in 2023 as Nvidia surged ahead. AMD, meanwhile, experienced a slow burn in 2022 and 2023 before igniting in late 2023.
Intel&#8217;s interim CEO, Michelle Holthaus said during its fourth-quarter earnings call that the data center business is an attractive market for the company, &#8220;But I am not happy with where we are today.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re not yet participating in the cloud-based AI data center market in a meaningful way. We have learned a lot as we have ramped Gaudi and we are applying those learnings going forward,&#8221; she added.
Meanwhile, AMD&#8217;s fourth-quarter data center segment revenue increased 69% year-over-year to a record $3.9 billion.
AMD CEO Lisa Su expects strong double-digit growth in its data center business throughout 2025, driven by high demand for both server and GPU products.
Price Action: Nvidia rose 3.67% on Wednesday and fell 1.49% in after-hours, this outpaced the 0.24% rise in the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the Nasdaq 100 index.

Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) expects Paramount+ subscriber growth to slow in the first quarter of 2025 as the impact of major content releases and the Super Bowl fades.
What Happened: On Wednesday, during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call, Paramount reported strong momentum for its streaming platform, adding 5.6 million subscribers in the fourth quarter, marking its best quarter in two years.
The surge was largely driven by high-profile content such as Landman, Tulsa King, and Lioness, along with a major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37085784/123m-viewers-make-super-bowl-2024-most-watched-tv-event-ever-paramount-revels-in-streaming-">viewership boost from</a> the Super Bowl.

"We expect continued subscriber growth at Paramount+, though not at the same level as Q4 given the timing of content releases," added Naveen Chopra, Paramount's CFO.
The Super Bowl provided a massive one-time boost, but Paramount+ will need its hit series lineup and international expansion to maintain momentum.
The company still expects profitability for its domestic streaming business in 2025, but the first quarter will serve as a critical test of whether Paramount+ can hold its ground without a major live event to drive signups.

Why It's Important: Paramount Global missed Wall Street&#8217;s fourth-quarter revenue estimates on Wednesday. A decline in its cable TV unit overshadowed strong subscriber growth for Paramount+.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PARA">posted</a> $7.98 billion in revenue, falling short of the expected $8.07 billion.
During the earnings call, Paramount Global co-CEO George Cheeks confirmed that the company remains on track to finalize the Skydance merger in the first half of the year.
The Paramount-Skydance deal still requires approval from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. He has launched a news distortion inquiry into the 60 Minutes segment, with results expected <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43579254/trump-vs-cbs-president-threatens-license-over-fraud-and-claims-of-edited-kamala-harris-interview">no sooner than late March</a>.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Paramount&#8217;s Class A shares dipped 0.85% in after-hours trading to $22.25, while Class B shares declined 2.24% to $10.97. During Wednesday's regular session, Class A closed 1.54% lower at $22.44, and Class B fell 2.43% to $11.22, per <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

On Thursday, Japanese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43380849/toyota-retains-top-selling-automaker-position-while-continuing-to-trail-tesla-byd-in-ev-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carmaker</a> Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) said that its production of Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles worldwide rose by about 6% in January, marking the first year-on-year increase in 12 months.
What Happened: The company&#8217;s worldwide production rose 5.6% to 781,729 units in January, on the back of a 22% jump in production within Japan which offset a 1.4% decline in production outside home ground. 
Sales of Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles rose by a meager 0.1% to 785,632 units in January on the back of a 12.5% jump in Japan spurred by the introduction of new vehicles. Sales outside of Japan, however, fell by 2% to 659,098 units following a significant drop in sales in China owing to severe market conditions and intensifying price competition.
In North America, sales fell by 1.1% to 191,186 units. 
Toyota&#8217;s&nbsp;EV Sales:&nbsp;The company sold 382,458 electrified Toyota and Lexus vehicles globally last month, marking a jump of about 18% from Jan.2024.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40745366/toyota-scales-back-2026-ev-production-plans-by-30-trims-target-to-1m-cars-as-global-demand-weakens-r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Electrified vehicles</a>&nbsp;refer to hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, mild hybrids, and fuel-cell electric vehicles.

Hino Motors, however, witnessed a 5.6% drop in global sales following a steep 14.3% drop in sales outside Japan.

Litecoin and Avalanche both traded in the green Wednesday, defying the blood-soaked charts of other established coins.
What happened: LTC rose 2.85% in the last 24 hours, while its trading volume zoomed 34% to $1.94 billion.&nbsp;
The coin, created from the hard fork of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), surged to an intraday high of $128.14 earlier in the day before retracing to $122.

Why It Matters: The spike came after Nvidia <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991607/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-demand-for-blackwell-is-amazing">reported record fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal revenue </a>after Wednesday&#8217;s market close. The quarterly revenue and earnings exceeded analysts' expectations.&nbsp;
That said, shares of the chip-making giant were down 1,49% in after-hours trading, indicating that investors' lofty expectations were not met.
The surge defied the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43996033/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-plunge-deeper-on-trumps-tariff-threats-analyst-hopeful-btc-will-touch-93500-in-relief-rally">broader downturn</a> in the market, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slipping below $83,000 for the first time in 15 weeks.
Price Action: Shares of NVDA closed 3.67% higher at $131.28 during Wednesday's regular session, 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>.

Nvidia's Q4 Revenue, Earnings Beat Drives AI-Based Cryptos Higher Even As Major Coins Bleed

Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and owner of the Washington Post, announced Wednesday a significant shift in the newspaper&#8217;s opinion section that will prioritize viewpoints <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43760885/jeff-bezos-owned-washington-post-turns-down-ad-campaign-that-asked-whos-running-this-country-donald-trump-or-elon-musk">supporting free markets and personal liberties</a>.
What Happened: In a note shared on X, Bezos wrote that the Post&#8217;s opinion pages will now focus on &#8220;two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,&#8221; with opposing viewpoints &#8220;left to be published by others.&#8221; He justified the change by noting that while newspapers once served readers by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/43372393/bezos-vs-bezos-amazon-files-lawsuit-related-to-washington-post-in-major-conflict-of-interest-for-billionaire">providing diverse opinions</a>, &#8220;Today, the internet does that job.&#8221;
&#8220;I am of America and for America, and proud to be so,&#8221; Bezos stated. &#8220;Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.&#8221;
The shift has already resulted in editorial changes. David Shipley, the Post&#8217;s current opinion editor, will step down rather than lead the new direction. Bezos acknowledged, &#8220;This is a significant shift, it won&#8217;t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment.&#8221;
