Earnings Scheduled For March 12, 2025

Billionaire investor Howard Marks has highlighted the shifting investor sentiment toward credit investments amid the ongoing downfall in the equity markets. In his latest memo, he underscores how private debt offers higher returns than the S&amp;P 500 index amid elevated valuations.
What Happened: In his latest memo &#8216;Gimme Credit,&#8217; dated March 6, Marks explains how credit investments, especially private credit, is an attractive asset class with higher return potential, but he cautions investors to be aware of its unique risks, particularly the lack of transparency and the uncertainty surrounding its performance in a future crisis.
Despite the current narrow spreads of around 290 basis points, the co-founder and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management argues that credit investments offer healthy absolute returns and are fairly priced in relative terms.
&#8220;The current level of offered yields implies higher returns from credit than the S&amp;P 500, with returns that are contractual and thus subject to much less variability and uncertainty,&#8221; the memo states.
Comparing his latest analysis to his Jan. 7 memo, &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42995814/billionaire-investor-who-predicted-the-dot-com-crash-25-years-ago-warns-of-another-market-storm-brewing-in-the-us">On Bubble Watch</a>,&#8217; he describes that at current valuations the S&amp;P 500 index is likely to produce ten-year returns averaging between -2% and 2% per year. However, this is not the case with today's expected returns on credit.
&#8220;We'd rather buy at higher yields and wider spreads, and we may get a chance to do so . . . or not. But that preference in itself isn't a reason for not increasing allocations to credit today,&#8221; he writes.

Why It Matters: Contrasting the difference between buying the S&amp;P 500 at current valuations versus buying private credit at lower spreads, the dot-com crash predictor explains that high-yield bond investors earned more than Treasuries in 10 years.
According to him, the reason for this is that &#8220;The issuer pays interest and principal as promised, the price decline brought on by spread widening has only a temporary effect. When you're repaid at par, you'll have received the yield you expected, regardless of price fluctuations experienced in the meantime, including declines related to spread widening.&#8221;
Also, investing at lower yields is not a major issue as per Marks because of the following reasons;
<ul>
<li>Historical spreads cover default losses.</li>
<li>Improved economic management has reduced default risk.</li>
<li>Total return, not just spread, is the key metric.</li>
<li>Consistent interest payments and principal repayment prevail.</li>
<li>Contractual bond returns provide stability.</li>
<li>Active management further reduces default risk.</li>
</ul>
However, some cons of investing in private credit include;
<ul>
<li>Illiquidity: Funds locked, no quick exits.</li>
<li>Unproven In Crisis: Untested during severe downturns.</li>
<li>Potential For Lax Standards: Risk of rushed, poor-quality loans.</li>
<li>Marking To Model Risk: Valuation subjectivity, potential for overvaluation.</li>
<li>Lack Of Transparency: Limited public information and regulation.</li>
<li>Higher Fees: Increased costs compared to public credit.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Tuesday. The SPY was down 0.83% to $555.92, and the QQQ also declined 0.24% to $471.60, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Billionaire Howard Marks Prefers Credit Over Equity Amid Falling Market: 'Yields Implies Higher Returns From Credit Than The S&P 500'

In a bid to regain his $56 billion compensation, Elon Musk filed an appeal challenging a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42279851/elon-musk-56b-pay-package-rejected-by-judge-again-tesla-analyst-says-a-soap-opera-playing-out-in-delaware">lower court&#8217;s decision to overturn</a> the record payout from Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). Musk on Tuesday contended that the judge committed several legal errors in the ruling.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495275/elon-musk-can-now-appeal-to-restore-56-billion-pay-package-from-tesla-report">Musk&#8217;s appeal </a>asserts that his 2018 pay package, which shareholders approved twice, significantly contributed to Tesla&#8217;s growth. However, the Court of Chancery deemed it unfair to shareholders, Reuters reported.
The appeal brief, submitted by Musk along with the current and former Tesla directors listed as defendants in the case, contends that the court&#8217;s ruling &#8220;defies settled principles of Delaware law, sound corporate governance, and common sense.&#8221;
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
In January 2024, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick revoked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42893922/tesla-directors-receives-court-approval-for-settlement-in-excess-pay-case">Musk&#8217;s stock options pay package</a>, calling it &#8220;unfathomable.&#8221; She contended that the decision was unfair to Tesla shareholders, as the directors who approved it were influenced by Musk, and Tesla failed to disclose essential information to investors before they cast their votes.
Musk&#8217;s compensation package granted him the option to purchase approximately 303 million Tesla shares at about $23 each, provided the company met specific performance and valuation targets.

Why It Matters: This appeal comes after Musk&#8217;s vocal criticism of Delaware&#8217;s legal system. Following the rejection of his nearly $100 billion compensation package from Tesla, Musk did not hold back in expressing his dissatisfaction with the state&#8217;s Court of Chancery, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44031641/elon-musk-blasts-delaware-court-after-100b-pay-package-rejected-sparks-corporate-exodus-threat">which he described</a> as &#8220;absolute corrupt&#8221;. The appeal is essential for reinstating Musk&#8217;s compensation and ensuring his continued commitment to Tesla. Musk has suggested that he desires a larger stake in the company; otherwise, he may pursue product development outside of Tesla.
Notably, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), TripAdvisor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>), and Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) are also considering moving out of Delaware to re-incorporate in places like Nevada and Florida. As a result, the state is looking to revise its policies for handling shareholder lawsuits.

Wiley Signed An Agreement With Pi School To Enhance The European Space Agency's AI-powered Earth Virtual Expert (EVE) Project

Former President Ronald Reagan once cautioned, "High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation&#8230; and less and less competition," but Donald Trump is pushing forward with steep trade barriers anyway, and U.S. tech companies could be among the hardest hit.
What Happened: In his April 1987 radio address, President Reagan made a passionate case against protectionism, warning that tariffs would "hurt every American worker and consumer," drive prices higher, and ultimately lead to job losses.&nbsp;
While it may look like they're doing the patriotic thing, Reagan said, over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.

Fast forward to 2025, Trump — now in his second term — is embracing the very strategy Reagan opposed. He has doubled tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">Canadian steel and aluminum</a> imports to 50%. In early February, he implemented a 10% tariff on nearly all Chinese imports, increasing it to 20% earlier this month.
Trump argues these measures are meant to protect American jobs and national security, but the consequences are already beginning to ripple across the tech sector and other businesses.
China has <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44102063/china-strikes-back-at-trumps-tariffs-with-retaliatory-duties-us-company-sanctions-and-wto-showdown">retaliated with 10-15% tariffs</a> on U.S. exports, including agricultural products, coal, liquefied natural gas, pickup trucks, and select sports cars.
Additionally, Beijing has imposed export restrictions on American companies in the aviation, defense, and technology sectors while launching an anti-monopoly probe into 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.
Why It's Important: The stakes for U.S. technology are massive. Semiconductors — the backbone of everything from AI to electric vehicles — are overwhelmingly manufactured overseas.
The U.S. designs many of the world's most advanced chips but relies on Taiwan, China, and South Korea for over 80% of its supply.
Companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42344194/these-products-will-likely-see-price-hikes-due-to-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-and-mexico-2">now facing rising costs </a>for Chinese-made components, while cloud giants such as Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Google may see data center expansions stall due to higher prices on imported servers and networking equipment.
Consumer electronics are also in the crosshairs. Laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles, and electric vehicles could all see price hikes as <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43839627/apple-may-hike-iphone-prices-by-9-due-to-trumps-tariffs-says-bank-of-america#:~:text=Apple%20May%20Hike%20iPhone%20Prices,(NYSE%3ABAC)%20%2D%20Benzinga">tariffs raise production costs</a>. Apple may be forced to raise iPhone prices, while EV makers like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44135215/trumps-tariffs-could-wipe-out-profits-for-gm-ford-and-stellantis-barclays-warns-tariffs-of-this-magnitude-are-unlikely-to-stick">could face tighter margins</a>.
Retailers are bracing, too. Target Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) CEO Brian Cornell earlier this month <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44110273/trump-tariffs-will-raise-prices-within-days-target-ceo-says">warned of rising prices</a> on imported goods "within days," as companies scramble to relocate manufacturing out of China to tariff-free zones like India and Vietnam.
The U.S. faces a pivotal moment: double down on foreign dependency or absorb the costs of rebuilding self-reliance, and there are some indications that companies are scrambling to.
Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), and Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) are pouring funds into new semiconductor manufacturing facilities across Arizona, Texas, and Ohio.
Last month, Apple announced plans to invest <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44109824/apples-500b-u-s-investment-analyst-calls-it-completely-unrealistic-questions-where-the-money-will-come-from">more than $500 billion in the U.S</a>. over the next four years. This initiative includes the creation of 20,000 jobs and the development of an AI server plant in Texas.
Even so, as Reagan put it nearly four decades ago: "Let's not go for the quick political advantage… America's jobs and growth are at stake."

Musk, during a recent interview, admitted he is running his businesses &#8220;with great difficulty&#8221; while working with DOGE amid a huge decline in Tesla's stock price on Monday.

Protests against Tesla have emerged in the U.S. and Europe, with demonstrators criticising Musk's political activities. Tesla's European sales dropped 45% in January, contrasting with a 37% rise in overall EV sales, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association.

Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Double US Production in 2 Years After Trump Backs EV Giant Amid Stock Slump

The&nbsp;25% tariffs on steel and&nbsp;aluminum imports imposed by U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;have now taken effect, triggering a swift retaliation from the European Union.
What Happened: The tariffs were enforced on Wednesday, impacting several countries including Canada, Australia, and the EU. The White House issued confirmation about the duties late Tuesday but also revealed that Trump had abandoned plans to increase tariffs on Canadian metals to 50%, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/trumps-25percent-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect.html">reported</a> CNBC.
In response, the European Union announced counter-tariffs on $28.33 billion&nbsp;worth of U.S. goods beginning in April. The European Commission stated that these measures aim&nbsp;to &#8220;protect European businesses, workers&nbsp;and consumers from the impact&nbsp;of these unjustified trade restrictions.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister&nbsp;Anthony Albanese&nbsp;criticized Trump&#8217;s move as &#8220;entirely unjustified,&#8221; adding that Australia will refrain from imposing reciprocal tariffs on U.S. imports to prevent price inflation for Australian consumers.

Why It Matters: This development marks another chapter in the ongoing trade war, characterized by Trump&#8217;s bold tariff promises and subsequent reversals. The trade tensions have recently rattled markets, amid intensifying concerns that the tariffs could edge the world&#8217;s largest economy towards a recession.
Furthermore, Trump&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44267277/trump-scraps-50-tariff-hike-on-canadian-steel-aluminum-after-ontario-backs-down">scrap plans to hike </a>tariffs on Canadian metals to 50% came after Ontario paused&nbsp;a 25% tax on electricity&nbsp;exports to the U.S. This indicates a complex and rapidly evolving situation, with decisions being made and reversed in quick succession, adding to the uncertainty in global markets.
That being said, some of the domestic industry bodies hail the President&#8217;s move. American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), representing U.S. steelmakers, supported the tariffs, stating they would generate jobs and strengthen domestic steel production, reported BBC. Furthermore, Jesse Gary, the CEO of Century Aluminum told the New York Times, "The new tariffs will close those loopholes back up and enable us to begin investing again, and bring on more production here in the U.S."
On the flipside, Bill Reinsch, a former Commerce Department official told BBC, &#8220;It protects [the steel and aluminium] industries but hurts downstream users of their products by making them more expensive.&#8221; 
The shares of domestic steelmakers, United States Steel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) and Nucor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) climbed more than 13% year to date, as per<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga Pro.</a> Meanwhile, Aluminum stocks Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Century Aluminum Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>) closed the last session with gains of 3% and 9%, respectively.

Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), announced a productive meeting with President Donald Trump, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and other technology executives focused on enhancing government efficiency and strengthening American <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">leadership in artificial intelligence</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Yesterday we had a productive discussion with Trump, Musk, and other tech CEOs about enhancing government efficiency and accelerating U.S. leadership in AI and technology,&#8221; Dell wrote on X. &#8220;We are proud to be a trusted AI partner for the U.S. government.&#8221;
The high-level meeting comes as Dell Technologies positions itself for significant AI-driven growth. During a recent earnings call, Dell COO Jeff Clarke projected the company&#8217;s AI server business would grow to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/44035798/dell-technologies-projects-15-billion-ai-server-revenue-for-fy26-raises-dividend-18-amid-a-mixed-quarter">at least $15 billion</a> in fiscal year 2026, driven by what he described as a &#8220;robust opportunity pipeline&#8221; and Dell&#8217;s engineering and services advantages.
&#8220;This AI business drives incremental operating profit and is EPS-accretive,&#8221; Clarke stated.

Why It Matters: Dell&#8217;s meeting with Trump occurs amid increased government focus on AI development.

Dell&#8217;s statement indicates the company intends to continue engagement with &#8220;customers and policymakers&#8221; on AI initiatives, positioning itself as a key partner in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence sector.

Official Melania (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MELANIA</a>) failed to reverse its downsides on Tuesday, even as the broader meme coin market staged a strong recovery.
What happened: The official cryptocurrency of First Lady Melania Trump fell over 4% in the last 24 hours, widening its weekly losses to 15.81%. 
The continued decline contrasted sharply with the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44267790/pepe-leads-memecoin-rebound-with-11-rally-but-dogecoin-shiba-inu-not-that-far-behind"> relief rally</a> for other meme coins.

Why It Matters: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based token was launched just before President Donald Trump&#8217;s presidential inauguration, just like the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) memecoin.&nbsp;
The MELANIA meme coin website maintains a disclaimer, stating, &#8220;Melania Memes are intended for collecting and entertainment purposes only. They are not financial instruments or investments.&#8221;
The coin's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43078040/trump-coin-tanks-36-even-as-melania-trump-launches-her-own-token-top-analyst-says-his-short-is-going-very-very-well">vesting timeline</a> consists of an initial lock period of 30 days, followed by the staggered unlocking at definite intervals for the team.
Both MELANIA and TRUMP soared following their launch, and at their peak, the combined market value of the two assets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43080060/donald-trump-and-melania-memecoins-combined-market-value-is-now-higher-than-that-of-warren-buffetts-hot-pick">topped that of leading oil producer</a> Occidental Petroleum.
Price Action: At the time of writing, MELANIA was exchanging hands at $0.6828, down 4.77% 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..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;
Benzinga&#8217;s Take: Investing in meme coins is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and celebrity endorsements.

Ives remains bullish on Tesla despite the stock being down over 50% from its recent high and facing negative market sentiment.
However, he acknowledges that Tesla is at a pivotal moment due to Musk&#8217;s distractions, including his political involvement. In a separate Wedbush investor note, Ives wrote to investors, "If Musk continues to head down the DOGE path 110%…showing no attention to Tesla during this turbulent time then brand damage will become more pervasive as right now our work in the field shows less than 5% (very contained) of Tesla owners would second guess buying a Tesla again due to Musk."
While sales have declined significantly, particularly in China, Europe, and the U.S., Ives believes 90% of Tesla&#8217;s future value would be derived from autonomous technology and refreshed vehicle models.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Ives&#8217; comments come amidst a significant decline in Tesla&#8217;s stock, which is&nbsp;down over 50% from its&nbsp;recent high. This decline has been attributed to Musk&#8217;s challenges in managing his various roles, including his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration.
Musk admitted to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44242181/elon-musk-admits-juggling-between-tesla-doge-is-difficult-says-running-businesses-with-great-difficulty-as-tsla-stock-plunges-50-in-3-months">experiencing difficulties</a> running his businesses while working with the Trump administration.
Despite these challenges, Ives&nbsp;maintains a $2 trillion valuation&nbsp;outlook for Tesla, citing its future&nbsp;in autonomous technology and refreshed&nbsp;vehicle models. He insists, however,&nbsp;that Musk must refocus on&nbsp;leadership for the sustainability of Tesla shareholders.
Tesla stock climbed 3.79% on Tuesday to close at $230.58, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) has reassured fans that the beloved S Pen isn't going away, even though its absence from major product announcements stirred some doubts.
What Happened: At Mobile World Congress 2025, Annika Bizon, vice president of product and marketing at Samsung's Mobile Experience division in the U.K., <a href="https://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/i-dont-see-a-space-where-the-s-pen-is-not-a-key-part-of-our-portfolio-samsung-executive-defends-the-s-pen-amid-cancellation-rumors">told</a> TechRadar that Galaxy users shouldn't worry about the future of the S Pen — despite its noticeable absence from January's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42836040/samsung-unpacked-2025-date-time-livestream-details-and-galaxy-s25-pre-order-offers-everything-you-need-to-know">Galaxy S25 Ultra</a> launch event.
"Multimodality is really important to us," Bizon said. "So [that's] how people use their phone — whether they're speaking, whether they're writing, whether they're in a meeting. People do use their S Pens in meetings to write notes. So, I don't see a space where the S Pen is not a key part of our portfolio."

While the stylus didn't feature prominently in Samsung's latest marketing campaign, Bizon's comments suggest it remains a crucial piece of the Galaxy Ultra identity.
That said, the Galaxy S25 Ultra's S Pen did lose its Bluetooth functionality — meaning features like Air Actions and remote shutter no longer work — further fueling speculation about its future.

Why It's Important: The S Pen has long been a signature feature for Samsung's premium phones, especially among power users and creatives.
As competition heats up in the foldable and flagship markets, any perceived shift away from beloved features can create uncertainty among the brand&#8217;s most loyal customers.
Samsung saw a 12% year-over-year increase in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43382010/samsung-q4-earnings-12-revenue-growth-closes-gap-with-apple-in-premium-phones-eyes-ai-powered-growth-in-2025">fourth-quarter revenue</a>, reaching 75.8 trillion Korean won ($52.2 billion).
The Mobile eXperience (MX) and Networks divisions generated 25.8 trillion Korean won in revenue, up from 25.0 trillion won in the same period last year. However, the segment&#8217;s operating profit declined to 2.1 trillion Korean won from 2.7 trillion won year-over-year.

DeepSeek AI&#8216;s recent breakthrough has sparked renewed interest in Chinese tech investments, potentially reversing three consecutive years of venture capital declines in the region.
&#8220;People are rushing just to find the next DeepSeek,&#8221; said Annabelle Yu Long, founding partner of BAI Capital, according <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/deepseek-ai-cranks-open-the-spigots-on-chinese-venture-capital.html">to</a> CNBC. This surge follows VC investment in China-based companies falling to a record low of $48.86 billion in 2024, according to Pitchbook data.
AI drug discovery firm Insilico Medicine recently closed a $110 million financing round led by Hong Kong&#8217;s Value Partners, with CEO Alex Zhavoronkov stating that the last-minute interest from Chinese funds was &#8220;like an avalanche.&#8221; The company, which uses DeepSeek&#8217;s AI to develop drugs, is now planning an additional &#8220;E2&#8221; raise.
Chinese government support is amplifying the trend. The government announced plans for a fund expected to mobilize 1 trillion yuan ($137.7 billion) for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44254562/deepseek-stays-free-founder-rejects-monetization-plans-new-reasoning-model-amid-alibaba-talks">tech investment</a>.
Despite this momentum, U.S.-China tensions remain a significant hurdle for international investors considering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44267707/chinas-viral-ai-agent-manus-which-is-being-compared-with-deepseek-taps-alibabas-qwen-for-local-expansion-heres-what-you-need-to-know">Chinese AI opportunities</a>.
DeepSeek&#8217;s AI breakthrough in late January led to a significant selloff in U.S. tech stocks, with NVIDIA Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) market value dropping by $593 billion, as investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43232316/deepseek-jitters-shatter-us-tech-stocks-wipe-out-12-trillion-on-wall-street-analyst-eyes-four-chinese-giants-set-to-benefit">feared increased competition</a>.<a href="https://www.rappler.com/technology/deepseek-nvidia-stocks-shares-updates-january-27-2025/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>
