Dutch Bros, Robinhood, AppLovin Corp, Reddit, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) CEO Alex Karp envisions the company&#8217;s legacy as strengthening Western technological supremacy while deterring adversaries, amid surging demand for artificial intelligence solutions that has driven the stock up over 350% in the past year.
What Happened: In a recent interview with Stock MVP&#8216;s Tom Nash, Karp emphasized Palantir&#8217;s role in bolstering Western software capabilities: 
&#8220;The superiority of the West in software production has made Western countries, especially America, healthier, wealthier, and stronger,&#8221; he stated, adding that he wants potential adversaries to reconsider their stance against Western nations.
This vision comes as Palantir reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">strong fourth-quarter results</a> on Feb. 3, with revenue reaching $827.52 million, exceeding analyst expectations of $775.91 million. The company&#8217;s U.S. commercial revenue surged 64% year-over-year to $214 million, while government contracts contributed $343 million, up 45% from the previous year.

Why It Matters: Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives sees Palantir potentially emerging as a dominant force in AI software, comparing it to industry giants Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>).

Despite Palantir&#8217;s elevated valuation metrics, including a price-to-earnings ratio of 613.95 and market capitalization of $258 billion, former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli projects the company&#8217;s operational cash flow to reach $1.8 billion in 2025 and $2.7 billion by 2026. The company has forecast revenue of $3.75 billion for 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485885/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-defends-palantirs-valuation-amid-24-surge-says-ai-firms-cash-flow-justifies-expensive-price">surpassing analyst estimates.</a>
The stock&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> stands at $65.50, based on 23 analyst ratings, though recent assessments from Citigroup, RBC Capital, and UBS suggest an average target of $85, indicating potential downside from current levels around $117.
Price Action: Palantir closed at $117.39, up 4.24% on Wednesday, and rose 0.21% after hours to $117.64. Year to date, it&#8217;s up 56.12%, surging 368.62% over the past year, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp Says Western Software Superiority Will Make America 'Stronger' As Burgeoning AI Demand Pushes Stock Up 368%

Elon Musk&#8217;s X has reportedly agreed to a $10 million settlement in a lawsuit initiated by Donald Trump.
What Happened: Trump and other plaintiffs filed the lawsuit in 2021, following his deplatforming by the company, then known as Twitter, due to his role in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38327539/trumps-bid-to-pause-jan-6-capitol-riot-case-denied-by-judge"> U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021</a>.
Trump's team initially thought about letting the lawsuit fade, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/musks-x-agrees-to-pay-about-10-million-to-settle-trump-lawsuit-a38348f8?st=HWHZyX">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. However, the lawsuit led to a settlement despite Musk&#8217;s close ties with the President and his about <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43582376/not-a-bad-return-on-his-investment-bernie-sanders-says-elon-musk-spent-277-million-to-elect-trump-and-made-154-billion-since-election-day">$250 million contribution</a> to Trump&#8217;s election campaign.

Why It Matters: Last month, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) settled a similar lawsuit over its suspension of Trump&#8217;s Facebook account <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/43325503/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-pays-trump-25-million-to-settle-lawsuit-over-facebook-instagram-ban-after-jan-6-riot-a-big-year-for-redefining-our-relationships-with-governments">for $25 million</a>, which is more than double the amount X is set to pay.
Trump&#8217;s legal team is also expected to pursue a settlement with Alphabet Inc.'s (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>) Google, which banned Trump from YouTube after the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot, the report noted.

Elon Musk's X To Pay Trump $10 Million Over Twitter Ban After Zuckerberg's Meta Coughed Up $25 Million — Who Else Is Left?

Elon Musk has never done things conventionally, whether it's revolutionizing space travel, running Tesla, or, apparently, dating. His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42878599/elon-musk-married-and-divorced-the-same-woman-twice-paid-her-over-20-million-in-settlements-she-refers-to-him-as-perfect-ex-husband">ex-wife, Talulah Riley</a>, revisited the early days of their whirlwind romance, revealing in a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2BWm3Cx/">BBC documentary</a> that their courtship involved a lot more physics than flirtation.
According to Riley, Musk's idea of a romantic invitation was asking her back to his hotel room – not for the usual reasons but to watch "rocket videos." She initially assumed it was code for something else. But no, Musk, now the world's richest man and the visionary behind SpaceX and Tesla, was being quite literal.

</ul>
"I remember one evening he said, ‘Would you like to come back to my hotel room so we can look at rocket videos?' I said, ‘Hmm … OK, yeah,'" Riley recalled with a smile. "And we did get into his hotel room, and he did just show me rocket videos."
This wasn't just an isolated anecdote. Musk's obsession with rockets and space exploration has been a defining part of his life. But that didn't stop Riley from being swept up in his orbit – fast. In a <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-and-spacex-elon-musks-industrial-empire/">resurfaced CBS interview</a> from 2014, she admitted that their relationship moved at warp speed.
"It all happened very fast," she said. "We were engaged after, I think, sorta two weeks of knowing each other." She was just 22 at the time and described Musk as "very charming" and "definitely the most interesting and eccentric person I have ever met."
Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a>
The two tied the knot in 2010, only to divorce in 2012. But Musk, never one to give up easily – on space travel or relationships – convinced her to remarry him in 2013. Riley later explained it felt odd to be together without the formality of marriage. "It was like a habit," she told <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/long-reads/talulah-riley-elon-musk-wife-book-quickening-b2112070.html">The Independent in 2022</a>.
That habit, however, didn't last. By 2016, they were divorced for the second time. But Riley has always spoken warmly of Musk, calling him the "perfect ex-husband" and describing their bond as loving and supportive despite the romantic fallout.
She wasn't just a bystander in Musk's world of electric cars and space missions. Riley fully immersed herself in the chaos, even helping care for his five children from his first marriage. She explained she was by Musk's side and it was a "family-wide effort." She also added, "it wasn't like I was stuck in a mansion in Bel Air like a trophy wife."&nbsp;
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
Financially, their divorces came with a hefty price tag. Riley received $4.2 million in their first split and another $16 million after their second, totaling over $20 million. Yet, despite the settlements, they remained close. She even encouraged him to buy Twitter, sending private messages urging him to go through with the deal.
Now remarried to actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Riley still defends Musk against public criticism. In an August 2024 interview with <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/celebrity/article/talulah-riley-elon-musk-marriage-twitter-m05nmcmvt">The Times</a>, she was asked why her personal experience of him seemed so different from the often polarizing public image.
"Well, you know more than anyone how what we read in the mainstream media is not necessarily an absolute truth," she said, comparing it to "kayfabe," a wrestling term for a staged performance where everyone buys into the illusion.

So, is Musk's larger-than-life persona just a performance? Riley didn't give a definitive answer. "I loved/love the guy, so I'm incredibly subjective in my opinion, cannot be unbiased and shouldn't be expected to be either," she admitted. "I'm sure, well … You know what being in love is, right?"

And in a world where billionaires tend to keep things buttoned up, his approach – whether it's inviting someone to his hotel room to watch rocket videos or rekindling an old romance – is as unconventional as it gets.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), once a leader in the semiconductor industry, is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42185698/qualcomms-interest-in-taking-over-intel-wanes-due-to-complexities-involved-report">now struggling</a> to stay competitive, and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Bill Gates might not be that optimistic about its future.
What Happened: Earlier this month, in an <a href="https://apnews.com/article/bill-gates-interview-vaccines-intel-google-a8a57b3e21064e888083f977acd52812">interview</a> with the Associated Press, Gates expressed his disappointment over Intel's decline, saying he was "stunned" by how the company "lost its way" in chip design and manufacturing.
"Gordon Moore always kept Intel at the state of the art. And now they are kind of behind in terms of chip design and they are kind of behind in chip fabrication," Gates said.
Intel, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36861400/microsoft-and-intel-are-betting-on-ai-as-analyst-says-the-revolution-is-here-will-copilot-be-abl">dominated the PC era</a>, missed the shift to smartphones nearly two decades ago and has since struggled to keep up with rivals like AMD and Nvidia. The company failed to capitalize on the AI chip boom, weakening its industry position.

"They missed the AI chip revolution, and with their fabrication capabilities, they don't even use standards that people like Nvidia and Qualcomm find easy," Gates added.
The tech billionaire also reflected on Intel's leadership shake-up following the sudden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42275410/intel-ceo-pat-gelsinger-forced-out-by-board-analysts-cheer-potential-strategy-shift-this-move-opens-the-door">departure of CEO</a> Pat Gelsinger in December. "I thought Pat Gelsinger was very brave to say, ‘No, I am going to fix the design side, I am going to fix the fab side.' I was hoping for his sake, for the country's sake, that he would be successful," Gates said.

Why It Matters: Intel's decades-long partnership with Microsoft is often called &#8220;Wintel.&#8221; It started in the early 1980s with IBM's first personal computers, which ran on Intel processors and Microsoft's MS-DOS operating system.
This alliance fueled an industry-wide shift that made Intel and Microsoft the dominant forces in computing for years. Despite this history, Intel's chip design and manufacturing missteps have put it in a vulnerable position.
Its market share has been eroded by competitors like AMD, whose <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43376506/intel-will-be-fighting-for-every-socket-in-the-data-center-business-says-co-ceo-michelle-holthaus-as-competition-from-amd-nvidia-heats-up">data center chip revenue</a> surpassed Intel's—an astonishing reversal from 2022 when Intel's data center <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/intel-microchip-competitors-challenges-562a42e3?utm_source=chatgpt.com">revenue</a> was three times that of AMD.
Nvidia's dominance in AI chips has further sidelined Intel, exposing its failure to anticipate the industry's shift toward GPU-driven AI computing.
Financially, Intel is in turmoil. The company released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/25/01/43353848/intel-earnings-analysis-q4-recap">fourth-quarter earnings</a> last month and reported a drop in revenue by $1.15 billion year-over-year. Intel currently has a market cap of $97.33 billion.

Trading Halt: Halted at 7:50:00 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

TANH

A federal judge has given the go-ahead to the contentious &#8220;Fork in the Road&#8221; government buyout program, overruling a lawsuit filed by unions.
What Happened: U.S. District Court Judge George O'Toole ruled on Wednesday that the unions challenging the program lacked the necessary standing. The program, which offers federal employees eight months of pay and benefits to leave their government jobs, can now proceed as planned.
The ruling allows the government to close the application window for the program, originally slated to end on Feb. 6. The deadline was extended while the judge deliberated on the unions&#8217; request to stop the Office of Personnel Management from implementing the program.
The White House has previously stated that around 40,000 federal employees, approximately 2% of the 2 million federal workers, had accepted the offer. Despite the setback, the biggest government employee union, the American Federation of Government Employees, among those suing, pledged to continue the fight.
The unions have cautioned employees about the potential pitfalls of the offer, including contradictions in the contract and concerns over whether the necessary funding to honor the commitments to employees will be available, given that the government is only funded through March.
O&#8217;Toole said in his ruling that unions &#8220;do not have the required stake&#8221; when it came to the buyout program. The Judge said they were challenging a policy that applied to others.

Why It Matters: This program has been a contentious issue since its inception. The Trump administration&#8217;s memo titled &#8220;A Fork in the Road&#8221; was seen as an attempt to push career federal workers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43314808/trump-memo-heard-around-the-world-how-us-economy-could-adjust-to-buyouts-for-federal-workers">out of their jobs</a> and replace them with loyalists.
Another recent report highlighted that the buyout plan <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43542558/trumps-push-to-reshape-federal-workforce-stalls-in-court">faced a legal roadblock</a> when a federal judge temporarily halted the initiative just hours before the acceptance deadline. Critics argue that the program is designed to encourage mass resignations and clear out career officials.
Despite the ruling, the controversy surrounding the program is likely to continue, given the concerns raised by the unions and the potential impact on the federal workforce.

Trump's Controversial 'Fork In The Road' Government Buyout Program Gets The Green Light From Judge: Unions Don't Have The 'Required Stake'

Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) is set to report its first-quarter earnings after Thursday's closing bell. Here's a look at what to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43664402/lam-research-commits-1-2-billion-investment-in-india-eyes-63-billion-semiconductor-growth-market">expect in the report. </a>
What To Watch: The company's Semiconductor Systems segment will be on watch as AI-driven demand could reflect in its revenues.&nbsp;
Wall Street will also be watching Applied Materials' China revenues which fell to 30% in the last quarter, down from 32% in the previous quarter and 40% before that.&nbsp;

Needham analyst Charles Shi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42015379/applied-materials-reports-solid-q4-beat-analysts-express-concern-around-high-exposure-to-china-spending-decline">noted that</a> the company's first-quarter China revenues came in roughly flat at around $2.14 billion, &#8220;but still a meaningful step down&#8221; from the average run rate of $2.9 billion per quarter between the fourth quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2024, he added.
&#8220;Over the longer term, management sees that WFE (wafer fabrication equipment) intensity, propped up by the strong China demand of 18% in 2023, could decline and normalize to around 15%,&#8221; Shi further wrote.
Investors will look for growth in non-GAAP gross margins which Applied Materials guided to 48.4% for the first quarter, up from 47.5% in the previous quarter.&nbsp;
Stifel analyst Brian Chin maintained a Buy rating on Applied Materials shares but lowered the price target from $250 to $235 on Tuesday heading into the first-quarter print. 
According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings of $2.29 per share on revenue of $7.14 billion.&nbsp;It should be noted that Applied Materials has beat consensus estimates on the top and bottom lines in each of the last ten consecutive quarters.&nbsp;
AMAT Price Action:&nbsp; According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Applied Materials shares ended Wednesday's session down 1.26% at $180.89.&nbsp;

Applied Materials Q4 Earnings Preview: Semiconductor Systems, China Revenues On Watch

Klana CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski isn't sugarcoating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43303778/bill-gates-says-this-book-on-ai-will-change-every-industry-predicts-millions-of-jobs-will-vanish-by-2030">AI's</a> impact on jobs. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItG8Cqs5ug&amp;t=6s">In a recent interview with Bloomberg</a>, he said, &#8220;AI can already do all of the jobs that we, as humans, do. It's just a question about how we apply it and use it.&#8221;
At Klarna, that application is already in motion. The company <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-12/klarna-stopped-all-hiring-a-year-ago-to-replace-workers-with-ai">stopped hiring in late 2023</a>, leaving its workforce at around 4,500. With a natural turnover rate of about 20%, the team shrank to 3,500 by 2024—without layoffs.&nbsp;

</ul>
Siemiatkowski says the strategy is simple: rather than firing people, they're letting AI take over as positions naturally open up. The result? <a href="https://www.klarna.com/international/press/ai-helps-klarna-cut-marketing-agency-spend-by-25-and-run-more-campaigns/">Klarna now saves about $10 million </a>a year by using AI for marketing, legal tasks, and customer service. Their chatbot alone has <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/swedens-klarna-says-ai-chatbots-help-shrink-headcount-2024-08-27/">replaced 700 human agents,</a> handling inquiries nearly nine minutes faster than people.
The CEO doesn't see this as a bad thing. Instead, he's betting that employees who stay will actually benefit. &#8220;As the company saves on salaries, part of that gain is going directly into employee paychecks,&#8221; he said. He estimates about 200 workers across different teams have already embraced AI, using it for automation, financial analysis, and content creation.
But not everyone shares Siemiatkowski's view. Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42950380/jensen-huang-declares-the-age-of-agentic-ai-at-ces-2025-a-multi-trillion-dollar-shift-in-work-and-industry">Jensen Huang</a> has repeatedly stated that AI is meant to &#8220;augment, not replace&#8221; human workers. That's a more optimistic take, but the reality is a little murkier.&nbsp;
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
According to a recent <a href="https://reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_Report_2025.pdf">World Economic Forum survey</a>, 41% of employers expect to reduce staff whose skills become less relevant by 2030. Younger workers are especially uneasy—<a href="https://generalassemb.ly/blog/new-survey-finds-solving-the-ai-skills-gap-starts-at-the-top/">62% of Gen Z employees </a>think AI will replace their jobs within the next decade, per a 2024 General Assembly survey.
And the pushback is already happening. Klarna itself faced backlash when it revealed that AI-generated marketing content had reduced its reliance on photographers. The reaction was so strong that <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/careers/klarna-ceo-faces-backlash-for-saying-ai-let-marketing-team-half-the-size-it-was-last/p12ltqp">Siemiatkowski had to address</a> it directly, saying, &#8220;I understand why people feel that way. These changes hit people on an emotional level.&#8221;
Klarna isn't alone in this. Companies that lean into AI risk public criticism. Last summer, Lattice announced that it would give AI &#8220;employees&#8221; official records, only to reverse course after online outrage.&nbsp;

In another case, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/eb11f69c-e45c-4f23-8793-0ca5866b4b67">unionized dockworkers</a> staged a three-day strike over automation concerns. Even Hollywood got involved—AI's role in replacing actors and writers was a major sticking point in the <a href="https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/03/ai-hollywood-strike-sag-aftra-technology/">2023 SAG-AFTRA strike</a>.
For now, the biggest AI disruptions seem to be hitting knowledge-based jobs rather than physical ones. Siemiatkowski predicts that while desk jobs will see major changes, roles that require physical labor—like truck driving—will take longer to automate.
Not all companies are cutting jobs, though. Some are using AI to boost productivity instead of reducing staff. A study by <a href="https://www.indexventures.com/index-press/scaling-through-chaos-in-the-age-of-ai/">Index Ventures</a> found that among 600 European startups, half planned to use AI to hire more people, while only 29% expected their workforce to stay the same.

One of the most active members of buying and selling stocks in recent years has been U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), who recently disclosed dozens of new transactions as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent021225">Benzinga's Government Trades page.</a>
What Happened: The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/congress-trading"> trading activity of members </a>of Congress has come under pressure in recent years with retail investors and politicians actively monitoring the activity to see if there are conflicts of interest.
Gottheimer recently disclosed a long list of purchases and sales of stocks, all with a $1,000 to $15,000 value. View the full list of trades at<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent021225"> Benzinga's Government Trades page.</a>
Here are some of the trades that stand out in the list of transactions, with the stock purchases and buys all made from Jan. 8 through Jan. 31.
<ul>
<li>Sold NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): The transaction log shows four separate sales of Nvidia stock meaning a total of $3,000 to $45,000 in NVDA shares sold. The move comes with Nvidia stock one of the top performers of the last year.</li>
<li>Bought Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): Gottheimer bought Tesla stock in three separate transactions, totaling a range of $3,000 to $45,000.</li>
<li>Bought Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>): Bought Visa stock five transactions, meaning a total of $5,000 to $75,000 in stock.</li>
<li>Bought and Sold Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>): In the transaction report, Gottheimer disclosed two purchases of Mastercard and one sale.</li>
<li>Sold Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>): Gottheimer also sold Microsoft stock in the reporting period with three separate transactions.</li>
<li>Bought Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>): The Congressman bought Johnson &amp; Johnson shares with three transactions totaling $3,000 to $45,000</li>
</ul>
Many of the buys and sells cover the technology sector with some buying of blue-chip names like Johnson &amp; Johnson, Coca-Cola and Berkshire Hathaway.

Why It's Important: Gottheimer has made thousands of stock buys and sells in recent years and is one of the most active members of Congress when it comes to his trading activity.
While recent sells could be profit taking or for tax purposes, the timing of selling semiconductor stocks like Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor and Broadcom could be questionable given the potential battle with China on export restrictions and new tariffs.
Gottheimer ditched Nvidia and Microsoft stock and chose a different Magnificent 7 stock instead in Tesla. The move will likely be closely followed given Tesla CEO Elon Musk's close working relationship with President Donald Trump, which could lead to favorable contracts and regulation for Tesla.
Gottheimer serves on the Committee on Financial Services, which could make the timing of the purchases of Visa and Mastercard stock questionable also.
In 2023, Gottheimer had the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/01/36459015/10-best-stock-traders-in-congress-in-2023-spoiler-nancy-pelosi-is-back-on-the-list">three best trades </a>as tracked by Unusual Whales with two sales of Meta Platforms profiting over 100% each and a third trade of Monster Beverage also profiting over 100%. Gottheimer also had the best tracked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/01/30260466/10-best-stock-traders-in-congress-in-2022-spoiler-nancy-pelosi-isnt-no-1">trade in 2022</a>, with Amgen acquiring ChemoCentryx making a 140% return for the Congressman.

The CDC resumed publishing its weekly <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index2025.html?ACSTrackingID=USCDC_921-DM144964&amp;ACSTrackingLabel=This%20Week%20in%20MMWR:%20Vol.%2074,%20February%206,%202025&amp;deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM144964">scientific report</a>, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, last Thursday after being paused for the previous two weeks.&nbsp;
