EV startup Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) is expanding its factory in Illinois as it gears up for the start of production of its new R2 vehicle.
What Happened: &#8220;R2 expansion moving quickly!,&#8221; Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. The CEO&#8217;s post was accompanied by a picture of the company&#8217;s Illinois factory.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Rivian was&nbsp;initially looking to start production of its R2 SUV at its new factory in Georgia. However, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37552130/rivian-halts-georgia-plant-construction-to-launch-r2-suv-in-illinois-facility-ross-gerber-terms-it-t">halted construction of the plant</a> in Georgia last year in a bid to cut costs and instead decided to launch R2 at its existing facility.
The decision to launch R2 in Illinois instead of Georga will enable the vehicle to be launched earlier and save billions in capital until the start of R2 production, the company then said.
Why It Matters: The R2 is expected to start at around $45,000 — the same price range as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37552684/rivian-almost-catches-up-to-teslas-ev-lineup-with-new-r2-r3-but-theres-no-cybertruck-fighter-yet" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla&#8217;s best-selling Model Y SUV</a>.&nbsp;The new vehicle will be smaller and less expensive than Rivian's existing R1 offerings priced around $70,000, and the company expects it to expand its total addressable market and cater to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39905221/rivian-ceo-rj-scaringe-pegs-slowdown-in-ev-sales-to-truly-extreme-lack-of-choices-under-50k-due-to-a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">demand for cheaper EVs.</a> The company received more than 68,000 reservations for the vehicle in less than 24 hours after unveiling it in March.

Rivian Expands Illinois Factory As It Gears To Start Production Of R2 SUV

Workers employed at Chinese EV maker BYD Co&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) factory in Brazil reportedly earned nearly twice the Chinese hourly minimum wage in many regions, despite questionable working conditions.
What Happened: Chinese workers hired by BYD&#8217;s contractor Jinjiang and employed at the factory earned about $70 per 10-hour shift, Reuters reported. 
However, the workers had to hand their passports to their new employers and let most of their income be sent directly to China as well as pay a $900 deposit which they could retrieve only after working for six months, the report said, citing a contract signed by one of the several workers who Brazilian authorities said were rescued in December.
Brazilian authorities said in December that they have&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42667814/brazil-authorities-halt-work-at-byd-factory-site-after-workers-found-in-slavery-like-conditions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">halted the construction of the plant that BYD&nbsp;is building in Salvador</a>, Bahia after finding workers living and working in conditions analogous to &#8220;slavery.&#8221;
Authorities ordered that the construction of the factory in Bahia be stopped after rescuing 163 people working at the site, according to a statement by the Labor Prosecutor&#8217;s Office (MPT). The MPT also noted that the conditions constituted "forced labor." If a worker were to terminate their employment contract after six months, they would leave the country without any pay for their work since the company deducted their airfare to and from Brazil, in addition to other costs, the statement said.
Certain clauses in the agreement viewed by Reuters violate labor laws in both Brazil and China, the report said, citing experts and authorities. One of the clauses also gives the firm the power to extend the labor contract by itself for six months, Reuters added. 
Why It Matters: Jinjiang Group&nbsp;has previously said that the Brazilian authority's portrayal of its employees working at the Chinese EV giant's factory in Brazil as "enslaved" is "completely inconsistent with facts."
Brazilian inspectors have provided no evidence that the EV maker knew of the violations at the construction site. However, according to the acting chief of Brazil&#8217;s Division of Inspection for the Eradication of Slave Labor Matheus Viana&#8216;s statement to Reuters, BYD is &#8220;directly responsible&#8221; for the actions of its contractor on its site. 
BYD was planning to start production at the factory in Brazil in 2025. The company is China's largest EV maker and makes plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles which are sold in China, Europe, and also Brazil.&nbsp;BYD even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42780142/chinese-player-byd-overtakes-tesla-yet-again-as-worlds-biggest-ev-seller-in-q4">trumped American EV giant Tesla </a>as the world&#8217;s largest battery electric vehicle seller in the last quarter of 2024.

BYD's Chinese Workers At Brazilian Factory Signed Contracts With Potential Labor Law Breaches: Report

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) is preparing to deliver gold bullion valued at over $4 billion in New York this February, amid rising prices and increased demand for the precious metal.
What Happened: The bank, recognized as the largest bullion dealer globally, announced on Thursday. According to a report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-31/jpmorgan-plans-4-billion-gold-delivery-in-us-amid-tariff-fears?srnd=homepage-asia">by</a> Bloomberg, JPMorgan plans to deliver gold against contracts expiring in February on the CME Group&#8217;s Comex.
The delivery notices, amounting to 30 million troy ounces, represent the second-largest tranche on record since 1994.
Gold futures on Comex have surpassed London spot prices due to tariff concerns following President Donald Trump&#8217;s election. This has created a profitable arbitrage opportunity for banks capable of swiftly moving bullion between trading hubs.
Similar pricing trends have been observed in other Comex contracts, prompting traders to fly silver into the U.S. for the first time, despite its usual cost-prohibitive nature, the report added. While millions of ounces trade daily on Comex, only a small fraction typically results in physical delivery.
Since the U.S. election, physical inventories in Comex depositories have increased by 13 million ounces, valued at approximately $38 billion.
It remains unclear if JPMorgan and other banks are delivering bullion for arbitrage or to exit short positions.
Why It Matters: The timing of JPMorgan&#8217;s gold delivery coincides with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43418661/trump-announces-new-tariffs-on-goods-from-canada-mexico-and-china-will-go-into-effect-from-feb-1">Trump&#8217;s announcement</a> of new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, effective Feb. 1. These tariffs have already caused ripples in financial markets, raising concerns about their economic impact.
Gold has recently hit a record high, surpassing $2,790, driven by central banks&#8217; easing stance and increased demand for safe-haven assets. Several major central banks have signaled a more dovish stance on inflation, leading speculators to anticipate lower borrowing costs, further supporting gold prices.
Additionally, speculation over higher U.S. tariffs has led to increased demand for gold by central banks, with disruptions affecting trading in London.

JPMorgan To Deliver $4 Billion In Gold Amid Rising Prices, Tariff Concerns: Report

President Donald Trump has confirmed that the U.S. will impose new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. The tariffs, set to take effect this Saturday, have already caused ripples in financial markets and raised concerns about economic impacts.
What Happened: Trump declared on Friday that he will enforce new tariffs of 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada, and 10% on goods from China. According to a report by Reuters, these tariffs will take effect on Saturday.
Trump mentioned a potential exception for Canadian oil, which would face a 10% tariff instead of 25%. However, he hinted at broader tariffs on oil and natural gas by mid-February, causing a spike in oil prices.
He emphasized that these measures aim to curb migrant and fentanyl flows over the U.S. border.
In the Oval Office, Trump acknowledged potential short-term disruptions and higher consumer costs. He dismissed the idea of delaying the tariffs, stating, &#8220;No, no. Not right now, no.&#8221;
Trump also denied using tariff threats as a bargaining tool, asserting, &#8220;It&#8217;s something we&#8217;re doing, and we&#8217;ll possibly very substantially increase it, or not, we&#8217;ll see how it is," as per the report.
Financial markets experienced volatility, as the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso weakened, while U.S. Treasury bond yields rose. Karoline Leavitt, a White House spokesperson, confirmed the tariffs&#8217; implementation on Saturday, with further details to follow, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The decision to impose tariffs on key trading partners like Canada, Mexico, and China is part of a broader strategy to address issues such as illegal immigration and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43401971/white-house-confirms-tariffs-on-key-us-trade-partners-this-weekend">an earlier report</a>, the White House has confirmed these tariffs, which are expected to impact the U.S. economy significantly.
The tariffs follow a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43353698/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-loonie-peso-slide-oil-climbs">threats and confirmations</a> from Trump, which will have potential economic disruptions and rising costs for everyday goods. The U.S. imports substantial amounts of goods from these countries, with Mexico being the largest trading partner in terms of imports.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43216784/doug-ford-takes-on-trump-ontario-premier-threatens-swift-retaliation-in-trade-war">Ontario Premier Doug Ford</a> has threatened economic retaliation if Canada is targeted, indicating potential further escalation in trade tensions.

Trump Announces New Tariffs On Goods From Canada, Mexico And China: Will Go Into Effect From Feb 1

Microsoft Corp.-backed (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) OpenAI has introduced the o3-mini, a new model in its reasoning series. It will be available on Friday in both ChatGPT and the API.
What Happened: The o3-mini model, previewed in December, promises to offer "exceptional capabilities" in science, math, and coding, while maintaining low costs and reduced latency.
It is the first small reasoning model from OpenAI to support developer features such as function calling and structured outputs, making it ready for production use.
According to OpenAI, the o3-mini will replace the o1-mini in the model picker, offering higher rate limits and lower latency. This makes it a compelling choice for tasks requiring coding, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM,) and logical problem-solving.
The model is rolling out to select developers in API usage tiers 3-5, with broader access for ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users.
OpenAI emphasizes that o3-mini is optimized for STEM reasoning. Its medium reasoning effort matches the performance of the o1 model. It delivers faster responses, and evaluations show a 39% reduction in major errors on difficult questions compared to the o1-mini.
Why It Matters: The launch of the o3-mini model comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43400191/openais-100-billion-texas-stargate-data-center-will-reportedly-employ-just-57-people-with-57600-annual-salaries">OpenAI&#8217;s significant investments</a> in infrastructure, such as the $100 billion Stargate data center in Texas.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43219324/chill-and-cut-your-expectations-100x-says-openai-ceo-sam-altman-we-are-not-gonna-deploy-agi-next-month-nor-have-we-built-it">OpenAI CEO Sam Altman</a> recently addressed the hype surrounding artificial intelligence, urging the public to temper expectations about the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Altman&#8217;s comments suggest that while OpenAI is making strides in AI capabilities, the journey toward AGI is still ongoing.
Furthermore, the introduction of the o3-mini follows the release of OpenAI&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43186741/openai-debuts-operator-ai-agent-that-performs-web-tasks-but-early-error-has-sam-altman-scrambling-for-a-quick-fix">Operator</a>&#8221; AI agent, which was designed to autonomously perform web tasks. This agent, available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, integrates advanced reasoning and vision capabilities, showcasing OpenAI&#8217;s continuous innovation in AI technology.

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story was published previously, updates to incorrect quotations were made.
How do you define success? A meaningful career? Quality time with loved ones? Or is it just about the dollar signs? If you ask most Americans, success comes with a steep price tag. According to a 2024 survey from Empower, the average American says you'd <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">need a net worth of $5.3 million</a> to feel "successful."
Here's where it gets absurd: That number is incredibly close to the $5.8 million net worth required to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42731749/how-wealthy-are-you-heres-a-look-at-the-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-in-the-top-10-5-and-1">land in the top 1% of U.S. households</a>, according to the Wealth Report by Knight Frank and Douglas Elliman. In other words, the bar for success isn't just high – it's exclusive. Most people define success as something only the wealthiest can achieve.&nbsp;

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-annuity-adv">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a></li>
</ul>
The Generational Breakdown
When it comes to what success looks like, age matters. Here's what different generations said when asked about the net worth and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42350109/are-you-earning-enough-to-be-considered-rich-heres-what-the-top-5-are-raking-in-annually">salary they'd need</a> to feel like they've "made it":
• Baby Boomers (60-78): A net worth of $1 million and a $99,874 annual salary feels like success to this group. Modest compared to younger generations but still higher than the median U.S. household.
• Gen X (44-59): This group aligns closely with the survey average, aiming for a $5.3 million net worth and $212,321 annual income.
• Millennials (28-43): They push the bar slightly higher with a $5.6 million net worth and $180,865 per year.
• Gen Z (18-27): Dreaming big, this generation says $9.5 million and $587,797 per year are their benchmarks for success.
What stands out is that younger generations are achieving success at levels so extreme that they rival – or surpass – those of the ultra-wealthy. Optimism is great, but these expectations don't align with financial reality.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich-2">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Reality Check: Where Americans Actually Stand
Interestingly, the study found that 37% of people consider themselves financially successful right now – even though most of them are nowhere close to the astronomical numbers they claim success requires. This surprising contradiction shows how people's perceptions of success can differ wildly from their actual financial reality.
The Federal Reserve reports that the median U.S. family net worth is $192,900. Let that sink in: half of U.S. families have less than $192,900 in total wealth and half have more. Even the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41585240/if-the-average-american-household-is-a-millionaire-with-a-net-worth-of-1-06-million-why-do-peopl">average net worth</a>, at $1,063,700, is heavily skewed by the richest households.
Want to crack the top 25%? You'd need a net worth of $659,000. This includes everything – your home, investments, savings – minus debt. Achievable? Yes, but it often takes decades of disciplined saving and investing. Now compare that to the $5.3 million Americans think you need, and the gap becomes almost laughable.
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
Why Are Americans Setting the Bar So High?
The $5.3 million figure reflects more than ambition – it highlights the growing disconnect between financial goals and reality. Cultural pressures, social media and skyrocketing living costs fuel these lofty ideals. But tying success to numbers that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42659832/does-your-net-worth-make-you-rich-heres-what-it-really-takes-to-be-in-the-top-1">rival the top 1%</a> makes it feel unattainable for most.
And that's the real issue: if success means joining a club that 99% of people will never enter, how do you define fulfillment in your life?
What Actually Matters
The truth is, financial security isn't about hitting an arbitrary number. For most people, success looks like freedom – freedom from debt, handling unexpected expenses and enjoying the things that matter most.
See Also: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Working with a financial advisor</a> can help if your financial goals feel overwhelming. Whether you want to save for retirement, build an emergency fund or just stop stressing about money, success is about progress, not perfection.
So yes, $5.3 million might sound nice, but it's not the only path to a fulfilling life. Success doesn't have to be reserved for the 1%. It's about finding what works for you – and that's something no survey can decide.

Is Your Net Worth Enough To Be Considered 'Successful'? Gen X Thinks You Need $5.3 Million - But Here's The Average Answer

Aides to Elon Musk who have been appointed to oversee the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), have reportedly restricted access of career civil servants to computer systems containing personal data of millions of federal employees.
What Happened: According to a report by Reuters, Musk&#8217;s team, now managing the U.S. government&#8217;s human resources agency, has limited access for civil servants to systems like the Enterprise Human Resources Integration database.
This database holds sensitive information, including Social Security numbers and pay grades. Two anonymous agency officials have raised concerns about the lack of oversight and potential cybersecurity risks.
The changes are part of Musk&#8217;s efforts to implement Trump&#8217;s directive to reduce the civilian workforce.
The new team at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which includes former Musk employees, has taken steps such as installing sofa beds for continuous work and relocating the agency&#8217;s chief management officer.
Despite these significant changes, there has been no comment from Musk, OPM representatives, or the White House.
Why It Matters: The restriction of access to federal employee data systems comes amid a broader context of decisions by the Trump administration.
Recently, Trump blamed DEI policies for a tragic plane crash involving an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43402439/trump-musk-blame-dei-for-plane-crash-authorities-look-at-staffing-congestion-for-answers-search-continues-after-41-bodies-found">American Airlines</a> plane and an Army helicopter, which resulted in 67 fatalities. This incident has sparked debates on staffing and congestion issues.
Furthermore, Musk has been vocal about his support for Trump&#8217;s policies, including the proposed end to the $7,500 EV tax credit, emphasizing that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43372252/elon-musk-brushes-aside-concerns-on-trumps-ev-policies-sustainable-transport-is-inevitable-it-cant-be-stopped">sustainable transport</a> is inevitable.
Trump&#8217;s administration also intends to dismantle the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as seen during his visit to disaster-hit areas in California and North Carolina, suggesting states should handle their emergencies.

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

Imagine starting with a $70,000 retirement account and watching it grow into hundreds of millions over the years. That's exactly what Ted Weschler did. It wasn't luck or flashy stock picks – it was all about strategy, patience and playing the long game.
ProPublica uncovered Weschler's incredible financial journey in 2021 as part of its "Secret IRS Files" series. They analyzed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41658421/no-one-in-the-u-s-would-have-to-pay-a-dime-in-taxes-warren-buffett-on-berkshire-hathaways-federal-ta">federal tax</a> records and found that his retirement account (IRA) stood out among some of the wealthiest Americans.&nbsp;
While most people use retirement accounts to build modest savings, Weschler turned his into something extraordinary.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/62-years-old-with-1-mil-saved">I&#8217;m 62 Years Old And Have $1.2 Million Saved. Is This Enough to Retire Stress-Free?</a> </li>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
His story begins in 1984, when Weschler was just 22. He was earning $22,000 a year as a junior financial analyst and decided to open a retirement account. Instead of contributing the bare minimum, he made the most of it – maxing out his contributions and taking advantage of his employer's matching program. By 1989, his account had grown to $70,000.
But Weschler didn't stop there. He transferred his savings to a self-directed IRA, which let him pick his investments. In 1990, though, his account hit a major bump, losing 52% of its value during a market downturn.&nbsp;
Most people would have panicked, but Weschler later called it an "unmonetized lesson." He stuck to his strategy, which focused on identifying undervalued companies and holding onto them long term.
Trending: The average 401(k) balance soars to a record-breaking high – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/average-401k-balances-soars-to-record-high">Here's how to know if your nest egg is keeping pace.</a>
That patience paid off. Between 2000 and 2011, his IRA delivered an average annual return of 22% after fees – returns most investors can only dream about.
Then, in 2012, Weschler made a bold move: he converted his traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. It wasn't cheap – he paid $28 million in taxes up-front – but it meant that all future earnings in the account would be tax-free. Financial experts have praised this as a smart long-term play, showing the value of thinking ahead.
Around the same time, Weschler made another bold decision. In 2010 and 2011, he bid a combined $5 million at charity auctions to have lunch with Warren Buffett.&nbsp;
Buffett hired him in 2012 to manage investments at Berkshire Hathaway because those meetings made an impact. Since then, Weschler has been working alongside Buffett to find companies that fit Berkshire's rigorous investment philosophy.

Weschler's advice for building wealth is simple. Start early, invest consistently and tune out the noise of daily market swings. He also recommends index funds for anyone who wants an easy, reliable way to grow their money.&nbsp;
In an interview with the Washington Post, he pointed out that even if his original IRA had been invested entirely in an S&amp;P 500 index fund, it would have grown to $1.6 million by 2021.
According to Fidelity Investments&#8217; Q3 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40753320/new-report-the-u-s-has-more-401-k-millionaires-than-ever-even-though-people-feel-the-economy-isn">Retirement Analysis</a>, the average IRA balance in the U.S. is $129,200. The report also notes that the number of IRA millionaires has increased by nearly 5% to 418,111, thanks to consistent contributions and strong market performance.
While Weschler's results are far from average, his discipline and long-term thinking principles remain relatable.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Introduction</h2>
Throughout the last two years, the stock market has experienced above-average total returns — with the Nasdaq-100 delivering investors a 54.8% return in 2023 and a 25.5% return in 2024. Compare this to the 11.8% average annual return the Nasdaq-100 has delivered since its inception in 1985.
As we enter 2025, not only have we experienced the best back-to-back years in the stock market since 1997 &amp; 1998 — we're objectively over-valued, historically speaking. At time of writing, the P/E ratio of the Nasdaq-100 sits at 31.3X — materially higher than the 10-year median of 25.3X. With that being said, I'd argue valuations are not what end secular bull markets. During secular bull markets, valuations can always go higher — just like during secular bear markets valuations can always go lower as fear and greed move markets from one side to the other much like a pendulum.
Under the Trump Administration, I'd argue the Federal Reserve will continue to cut interest rates. When you pair these rate cuts with a healthy economy you get the below chart — history tells us we could experience double-digit gains.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="713" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31203447/Screenshot-2025-01-31-143423-1024x713.png" alt="BofA Global Research" class="wp-image-5314" style="width:920px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31203447/Screenshot-2025-01-31-143423-1024x713.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31203447/Screenshot-2025-01-31-143423-300x209.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31203447/Screenshot-2025-01-31-143423-768x534.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31203447/Screenshot-2025-01-31-143423.png 1184w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
With that being said, I'm a firm believer that we're not going to avoid market volatility in 2025 to the degree we did throughout both 2023 and 2024. During both of those years the largest decline the index experienced was -10%, one during July 2023 and another during August 2024. Compare those -10% declines to the average -12-15% annual decline we've historically experienced during bull markets, according to JPMorgan Chase.
Pair this expected heightened volatility with a historically volatile Trump Administration and you have yourself a recipe for some unpredictable returns in the Nasdaq-100 throughout 2025.
Introducing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QQQI">NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI)</a> — how I'm preparing for volatility in 2025 without leaving too much potential upside on the table in case I'm wrong.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is QQQI?</h2>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/qqqi">NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI)</a> is a covered call ETF that seeks to distribute high monthly income to their investors. They generate this high monthly income by investing into all of the underlying constituents of the Nasdaq-100 and implementing a data-driven call option strategy.
A few things set this fund apart from their peers like JEPQ and QYLD.
Unlike JEPQ, the NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI) holds all 100 constituents of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/qqq">Nasdaq-100 index</a>. There's no "cherry picking" of names their fund managers think might be under-valued. Instead, QQQI investors know exactly what they're signing up for.
Additionally, QQQI's data-driven call option strategy utilizes Nasdaq-100 Index Options which is important for two reasons:
<ol>
<li>Index options are classified as <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/section-1256-contract.asp#:~:text=A%20Section%201256%20contract%20specifies,term%20capital%20gains%20or%20losses.">Section 1256 contracts</a> by the IRS. This means no matter the holding period, all income generated from these contracts are taxed at 60% long-term capital gains and 40% short-term capital gains. </li>
<li>Additionally, the fund portfolio managers aim to harvest losses within the portfolio to either offset gains in the option contracts or equity positions &#8211; which can allow fund distributions to be classified as a &#8220;Return of Capital.&#8221;
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/returnofcapital.asp">Return of Capital</a> distributions are not taxable in the year they&#8217;re received, instead investors would pay long-term capital gains on their distributions if / when they ever decide to sell their shares. This is especially important for investors looking to lower their annual tax burden as you&#8217;re essentially converting short-term income distribution payments into long-term capital gains treatment in the event of a future sale of the ETF.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
Compare all of this to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JEPQ">JEPQ's</a> equity-linked notes (ELNs) — a terrible income-generation strategy that forces investors to pay ordinary income tax on their distributions.
Unlike <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/qyld">QYLD</a>, the NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI) doesn't sell call options against the entire value of the fund's portfolio — <a href="https://youtu.be/8xykeGA5eJU?si=D_QUAollXVy_diPR">but instead against only 75-90%</a>. This means the other 10-25% of the portfolio can move freely up and down with the markets and is not "capped" by the strike price of the call option. As a result, gains are not limited to only the premiums received from the sold calls — which is the unfortunate reality for QYLD investors.
The result is the price of QQQI moves much more freely alongside QQQ when compared to QYLD.
For example, during the weeks throughout April 22 and July 18, 2024 shares of QQQ appreciated by +18.5%. During the same period of time, shares of QYLD appreciated only 4.4%, whereas shares of QQQI appreciated +9.8%. That +5.4% outperformance from QQQI was catalyzed by their fund managers strategically writing call options against only a portion of their fund's notional value instead of the entirety of its value like QYLD.
Not to mention, that +9.8% appreciation in share price doesn&#8217;t include the $2.44 per share of income paid to QQQI investors during that three month stretch (~5.0% yield). 
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Has QQQI Performed During This Bull Market? </h2>
QQQI was introduced to investors on January 30th, 2024. Shares of the fund began trading at $50 per share. Now that we officially have an entire year of performance to review, let's see how QQQI did.
The 1-year <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/xnas/qqqi/performance">total return of QQQI was 22.7%</a>.
Throughout those 12-months, QQQI paid their investors $7.33 per share in total distributions. Assuming you purchase one share of QQQI for $50 on January 30th, 2024 — that's a 14.7% annual distribution yield.
Throughout the last 12-months, the share price of QQQI appreciated by +8.3% — when combined with their annual distribution yield brings us to having captured 95.8% of the <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/xnas/qqq/performance">Nasdaq-100's total return</a> during the same period of time.
I'd argue QQQI has performed quite well during this bull market, capturing nearly 96% of their benchmark index's total returns. Remember, the objective of this fund is not to out-perform its underlying benchmark index, but instead generate high tax-efficient monthly income for their investors.
And at a 14.7% annual distribution yield, I'd argue they accomplished that objective during their first year of trading.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Will QQQI Perform During Volatility? </h2>
Now let's answer the million dollar question — how will QQQI and other covered call ETFs perform during times of volatility?
Well, let's first define what is going to cause the volatility.
For JEPQ, their fund managers have the autonomy to buy and sell specific names inside of their ETF to potentially offset market volatility. With that being said, JEPQ began trading on the open markets May 4, 2022 at $50.10 per share. On October 13, 2022 shares of JEPQ fell as low as $39.61 — a dramatic -20.8% decline in share price. With that being said, throughout that period of time they paid their investors $2.06 per share in cumulative distributions — a 4.1% yield against their open price of $50.10 in May.
From May 4, 2022 to October 13, 2022 JEPQ investors were looking at a -20.8% decline in price per share, which was more than QQQ's -20.3% decline in price per share during the same period of time.
Historically speaking, JEPQ's proprietary stock picking strategy does not offset price volatility during bear markets. The only way JEPQ was able to offset volatility was by generating monthly income for their investors.
Considering QYLD's fund managers do not implement a proprietary stock picking strategy and instead just hold the constituents of the underlying index, theoretically speaking the only way QYLD could outperform QQQ during a bear market is by paying their investors a monthly yield as the two funds' holdings are exactly the same.
Assuming this is true, then QQQI theoretically should also experience the same price decline as QQQ during a bear market — with the only outperformance coming from their monthly income. And considering QQQI pays their investors a 14.7% annual distribution yield (<a href="https://x.com/NEOSInvestments/status/1882760470291214803">link</a>) compared to QYLD's 12.7% (<a href="https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/qyld/">link</a>), that's a 2% difference in the positive direction for QQQI.
Now when you pair that 2% theoretical difference with the outperformance QQQI has already demonstrated during rising markets (5.4% throughout April-July 2024), QQQI has the opportunity to 1) materially outperform its competitors while 2) offsetting a potential decline in price with its tax-efficient high monthly income if we experience volatility in 2025.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Summary</h2>
I cannot predict what the Nasdaq-100 will do in 2025. There is clear evidence of the index being historically overvalued, but I'm also a firm believer in the ideology that valuations can always be driven higher by greed. Considering the lack of volatility the index experienced in 2023 and 2024, I have reason to believe we'll experience multiple double-digit pullbacks in the Nasdaq-100 throughout the year.
Assuming that is true, I believe holding shares of QQQI in my portfolio will be the best way to play this looming volatility as the income generated by the shares will offset any price declines experienced by the Nasdaq-100 while their data-driven covered call strategy on only a portion of the fund's notional value will allow for price appreciation in rising markets as well.
Offsetting share price decline with tax-efficient monthly income while participating in rising markets is a recipe for success in 2025.

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) on Thursday reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results but lowered its forward guidance for the next quarter. Analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43354712/intel-stock-climbs-on-better-than-expected-q4-report-details">weighed in on the report.&nbsp;</a>
Expert Ideas: Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse highlighted Intel's better-than-feared fourth quarter driven by the Intel Products side with Foundry results coming in as expected.&nbsp;
The analyst also noted Intel lowered its capital expenditures guidance which he said was the "right step" in order for the company to return to positive free cash flow in 2025. Muse maintained a Neutral rating and $22 price target on Intel stock.&nbsp;

Oppenheimer analysts noted all product segments guided down by approximately 14% for the first quarter and that Intel continues to lose market share to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) in both its Client Computing Group and Data Center segments. 
Oppenheimer said it "remains on the sidelines as turnaround efforts take root" and maintained a Perform rating on Intel shares.&nbsp;
Stifel analysts also pointed to the company's reduced guidance and slow recovery and remain on the sidelines "until execution starts yielding results." Stifel maintained its Hold rating on Intel but lowered its price target from $25 to $21.&nbsp;

キャシー・ウッド（Cathie Wood）率いる投資会社Ark Investは、先週水曜日に、Amazon.com Inc.（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>）、「ロビンフッド・マーケットス株式会社」（Robinhood Markets Inc.）（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>）、Reddit Inc.（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>）および「アドバンスト・マイクロ・デバイセズ社」（Advanced Micro Devices Inc.）（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>）に関して大規模なトレードを実施した。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Amazonに関するトレード</h3>
Ark InvestのARKF ETFは、Amazonの株3579株を、最新の終値162.77ドルを基に約582,554ドルで買い付けた。このトレードの際、 ARK Innovation ETF（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>）、「ARK自律型テクノロジー＆ロボティクスETF」（ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF）（BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>）、「ARK次世代インターネットETF」（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>）、「ArkフィンテックイノベーションETF」（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>）及び「ARK宇宙探査＆イノベーションETF」（BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>）が使用された。
Amazonの2021年第2四半期の決算は、AWS（Amazon Web Services）が強い成長を見せた一方で小売収益が低下した結果となった。アナリストは<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/24/08/40135676/10-amazon-analysts-assess-q2-earnings-strong-aws-growth-retail-challenges">売り評価を維持</a>しているが、AWSの加速と強いマージンを強調しつつ、小売業界の課題と3四半期の緩い見通しを指摘し、株価予想を下方修正した。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Robinhoodに関するトレード</h3>
ARKK、ARKW、ARKF ETFは、最新の終値17.12ドルを基に約249万ドルでRobinhoodの株145,420株を購入した。
Robinhoodの2021年第2四半期の売上高は6億8200万ドルで、前年同期比で40%増となり、予想を上回る結果となった。Robinhoodはこの情報を本日（水曜日）発表した。 売上高の伸びは、オプション、仮想通貨、株式の利益によって69%増となった。同社は1株あたり21セントの<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40233817/robinhood-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-crypto-revenue-up-161-year-over-yea">利益をもたらし、期待値を上回る結果となった</a> 13.2十億ドルの純預金記録を達成した。ロビンフッドゴールド会員数は200万人に増加した。今後の見通しには、新製品への投資や国際展開による費用の増加が含まれる。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Redditに関するトレード</h3>
ARKK ETFとARKW ETFは、Redditの株40148株を最新の終値50.69ドルを基に約203万ドルで買い付けた。
Redditの第2四半期の決算は、利用者数9100万人、収益2億8100万ドルを記録し、好調なものだった。ただし、JPMorganのDoug Anmuth氏は、近日中に行われるロックアップ解除（IPO時に発行された株を上場後に売却できる時期）による潜在的なボラティリティを理由に、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40219818/reddit-posts-strong-q2-results-but-jpmorgan-warns-of-volatility-ahead">ニュートラル（中立）</a>を維持した。 Redditの広告ビジネスは強い成長を示したものの、第3四半期の落ち込みの兆候が見られた。 Memorable AIの買収や、新しいコンテンツとの提携などの戦略的な動きは将来性があるかもしれないが、Anmuth氏は株価の目標を67ドルから59ドルに引き下げた。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AMDに関するトレード</h3>
ARKK ETFとARKQ ETF、ARKW ETFは、最新の終値128.67ドルを基に約743,771ドルで「アドバンスト・マイクロ・デバイセズ」の株5796株を購入した。
第2四半期の収益は、1株あたり69セントの利益と58.35億ドルの売上で、予想を上回る結果となった。最近の株価の変動にもかかわらず、AMDの株は全体的な市場の強さの中で<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40229445/whats-going-on-with-amd-stock">わずかな上昇を見せた</a>。 低い市場の変動率、および今後の見通しのポジティブな要素が、AMDのための強い取引環境を形成した。

Reddit Inc.（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>）は、ウォール街の予想を上回る三半期収益を予測したと発表し、デジタル広告市場の回復を示唆していますが、取引時間外に下落しました。
出来事の詳細：今回の三半期見通しは、Redditが3月にIPOを果たして以来の2度目のもので、デジタル広告市場の再燃を示唆し、さらに多くの広告主がプラットフォームに参入することを期待されています、とロイターが報告しています。
アナリストたちは、金曜日にIPO前株式解禁期限が迫っていることが、Redditの株価の下落の理由だと説明しています。さらに、株式の低いユーザー1人当たりの平均収益（ARPU）の成長と、慎重な四半期予測が理由として挙げられています。
これらの要因にも関わらず、一方でRedditの収益は、Alphabet Inc.（NASDAQ：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>）（NASDAQ：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>）とMicrosoft Corp.（NASDAQ：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>）が支援するOpenAI社とのコンテンツライセンス契約に対する楽観的な見通しをもたらしています。
RedditのCEOであるSteve Huffman氏は、今年後半はAIパワードの新しい検索結果をテストする計画を発表しました。同社は、第3四半期の収益が2億9000万ドルから3億1000万ドルの間になると予想しており、これはLSEGのデータによるとアナリストの平均予想額である2億7870万ドルよりも大幅に上回っています。
「（Redditの株価が）下落しているのは、IPO前に株式を取得した民間人またはIPO前投資家が、当該ストックをこの金曜日までに売り払うための &#8216;売るべき時&#8217; のリアクションである可能性が高い」と、首席投資責任者のMichael Ashley Schulman氏は、Running Point Capitalで述べています。
関連記事
なぜ重要なのか：Redditの今回の見通しは、同社が2四半期連続で強力な実績を挙げたことを受けて発表されました。Redditの2四半期の収益は2億8120万ドルで、前年同期比で54％増となりました。
同社の2四半期のDAUは51％増の9120万人で、グローバルARPUは約2％増の3.08ドルとなりました。これらのポジティブな結果にも関わらず、同社の株価は取引時間外に下落しました。
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40202848/reddit-q2-earnings-strong-quarter-across-the-board-revenue-beat-daily-active-users-up-51-and-more">2四半期目</a>のRedditの好調な業績は、1年前に比べて51％増のDAUを示しました。このユーザーエンゲージメントの拡大は、プラットフォームの主要な収益源である広告主を呼び寄せるために非常に重要です。
JPMorganは、Redditの強化された広告ツールを利用し、同社の株価に「相当な上昇余地」があると指摘しています。Redditの<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38703190/reddits-enhanced-advertising-tools-drive-sizable-upside-jpmorgan">今年第1四半期の決算</a>はすでに予想を上回っており、これはその後の数四半期にとって非常に前向きな結果となりました。
さらに、Redditの価値に関する議論は、このプラットフォームの潜在能力と、そのユーザーベースと投資家からの高い期待を裏付けています。
株価の変動： 火曜日、Reddit Inc.の株価は1株54.36ドルで取引を終え、4.31％下落しました。取引時間外にも、株価は引き続き下落し、4.53％下がりました。 ただし、今年になってからのReddit Inc.の株価は、全体として7.77％上昇しています。 （<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Proのデータ</a>による）。

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Redditの取引</h3>
Ark InvestはARKFを通じてRedditの35,955株を取得しました。最終取引価格が54.36ドルで、この取引の価値は約195万ドルです。
Redditは、総収益が前年同期比54％増の強力な四半期業績と、毎日のアクティブユーザー数（DAUq）が9,120万人に50％増加したと報告しています。それでも、この株はIPO前ロックアップ終了が迫る中、民間またはIPO前投資家および株式の平均利用者1人当たり収益（ARPU）の低い成長のために減少しています。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Amazonの取引</h3>
Ark InvestはARKK、ARKQ、ARKW、ARKF、ARKXを通じてAmazon.comの39,942株を購入しました。最終取引価格が161.93ドルで、この取引は約650万ドルの価値があると見積もられています。
AmazonはArk Investにとって人気のある選択肢でした。同社は、市場の大幅な下落で特筆すべき投資を行いました。投資会社は、市場の暴落の中でAMD、テスラ、その他の株式の購入を行いました。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AMDの取引</h3>
Ark Investは、ARKK、ARKQ、ARKWを通じてAdvanced Micro Devicesの105,002株を取得しました。最終取引価格が130.18ドルで、この取引は約1370万ドルの価値があります。
なお、先週月曜日のグローバル市場の暴落の中で、NVIDIAのBlackwellアクセラレータにおける<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40170023/amd-shares-rebound-whats-going-on">設計上の欠陥</a>によってAMDの株価が下落しましたが、米AMDの株価は上昇しました。この欠陥によってNVIDIAは2025年初までの出荷が遅れる可能性があります。NVIDIAは後日懸念に対処し、他のインテルなどのチップメーカーの弱い業績を和らげました。
その他の主な取引:
<ul>
<li>ARKFがBlock Incの株を売却</li>
<li>ARKFがRobinhood Markets Incの株を購入</li>
<li>ARKGがTeladoc Health Incの株を売却</li>

出来事：同社の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40202848/reddit-q2-earnings-strong-quarter-across-the-board-revenue-beat-daily-active-users-up-51-and-more">第2四半期決算発表</a>の際、CEOのSteve Huffman氏は同社のプラットフォーム上での収益化機能の導入を明らかにしました。これにより、ユーザーはプラットフォーム上で直接収益を創出・獲得することが可能となります。
ハフマン氏は、電話会議の中で、「我々は今年中に、開発者プラットフォーム内での収益化を可能にするための動きをしている」と述べています。
現在数百人のアクティブな開発者が参加しているベータ版の公開されている開発者プラットフォームは、約束のある結果を示しています。Huffman氏は、スポーツや投資のコミュニティでスコアボードや株価ティッカーなどのカスタム投稿タイプが使用された事例を挙げました。
収益化機能の具体的な詳細については不明ですが、Huffman氏は、ユーザーが同社に新しいアプリケーションを提供してくれる可能性について熱意を示しました。
また、Huffman氏は「今年について大規模な実施の保証はありません。しかし、そのようなコンセプトの最終的な実証を得ることができるのは、我々にとって非常に重要な節目だと思います」と述べ、即時に大規模な実施が行われることへの期待を抑えました。

なぜ重要か：開発者向けの収益化機能を可能にするRedditの動きは、収益の多角化とユーザーの関与の向上を図る、より広い戦略の一環です。
この発表は、同社からの一連の重要な財務情報の後に行われました。Redditは、第<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40202848/reddit-q2-earnings-strong-quarter-across-the-board-revenue-beat-daily-active-users-up-51-and-more">2四半期において</a>、売上高が前年比54％増の2億8120万ドル、DAUが51％増の1億800万人を記録したと報告しました。
Redditの3四半期の売上高予測は、デジタル広告市場の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40209259/reddit-forecasts-q3-revenue-above-expectations-but-stock-slides-what-you-need-to-know">回復</a>を示し、ウォールストリートの予想を上回りました。しかし、同社の株式市場は、IPO前ロックアップがプライベート投資家に対して終了することと、四半期の保守的な予測が影響し株価は下落に転じました。
さらに、Redditの<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38703190/reddits-enhanced-advertising-tools-drive-sizable-upside-jpmorgan">強化された広告ツール</a>は、JPMorganのアナリストであるDoug Anmuth氏が指摘したように、大幅な上向きをもたらしました。アナリストは、オンライン広告市場での厳しい競争の中で持続的な実行と成長の必要性を強調しました。
株価動向：火曜日、Reddit Inc.の株式は1株54.36ドルで取引を終了しました、前日比4.31％の下落です。アフターマーケットセッションでは、同株式はさらに4.53％下落しました。 しかし、年初来Reddit Inc.は総じて7.77％の上昇を見せています。

Reddit 自社プラットフォームで開発者向けの収益機能導入

Reddit Inc.（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>）のCEOであるSteve Huffman氏は、以前にMicrosoft Corporation（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>）、Anthropic、PerplexityにRedditのコンテンツのスクレイピングを継続するための支払いを求めた後、コンテンツへのアクセスを制限することについて説明しました。
出来事： Huffman氏は火曜日のRedditの<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40202848/reddit-q2-earnings-strong-quarter-across-the-board-revenue-beat-daily-active-users-up-51-and-more">第二四半期決算</a>の際、New Street ResearchのDaniel Salmon氏の質問に回答し、Microsoft Bingなど一部のケースでコンテンツへのアクセスが制限されることについて説明しました。
Huffman氏はRedditのコンテンツは非常に貴重であると述べました。同社は検索エンジンがRedditのコンテンツをクロールしてインデックスに追加することをこれまで認めてきましたが、Redditデータの利用の変化に伴い方針を転換せざるを得なかったと述べました。
「Redditのデータが何に使われているのかの意図をもう当てることはできない」とHuffman氏は述べ、「Redditは従来の「デフォルトオープン」から「デフォルトブロッククローラー」へと移行した」と述べました。

Huffman氏は、Redditがユーザーに対して引き続きアクセス可能であり、ユーザーの非営利利用のために引き続きコンテンツを無料で提供していることを明らかにしました。ただし、ユーザーのプライバシーを優先し、Redditデータの利用をユーザーの識別または広告ターゲティングに制限するため、パブリックコンテンツポリシーが実装されているとコメントしました。
「Redditのデータがどこに行ったのか、何に使われたのかを知りたい」とHuffman氏は述べ、Redditがデータの透明性とユーザープライバシーに対する約束を強調しました。

なぜ重要なのか： Redditによるこの動きは、Huffman氏がMicrosoftのような企業にRedditのデータのスクレイピングに対する支払いを求める呼びかけに続くものです。
今月早く、Huffman氏はこのような合意なしにRedditのデータが使用され表示されていることに対する不安を表明しました。そして、Microsoft、Anthropic、Perplexityの各社が交渉を進めることに対する躊躇を具体的に指摘し、「これをブロックするプロセスは本当に面倒だ」とHuffman氏は<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/31/24210565/reddit-microsoft-anthropic-perplexity-pay-ai-search">The Vergeが報じた通り</a>述べています。
一方、火曜日にRedditの第2四半期決算報告は、総収益で前年比54％、また日次アクティブユニークユーザーで前年比51％増という強い数字を示しました。
株価動向：火曜日、Reddit株は1株54.36ドルで取引を終え、4.31％の下落となりました。引け後取引でも下げが続き、株価は1株51.90ドルと前日比4.53％減の水準に落ち着きました（<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Proのデータ</a>による）。
