Big tech companies are employing the majority of approved H-1B visa workers in the U.S., according to <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/03/04/what-we-know-about-the-us-h-1b-visa-program/">research</a> from the Pew Research Center.  Here's a look at which companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42715951/trump-backs-immigration-visas-musk-praises-his-stance-and-says-rising-tide-lifts-all-boats">top the list</a>.
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) came in first with 11,000 H-1B visa approvals in 2023, marking the third consecutive year the e-commerce giant topped the list.

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) followed in sixth with nearly 4,800 workers and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) came in right behind at 3,800.
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) came in eighth place with 3,371 H-1B workers and currently faces a lawsuit claiming the company systematically favors foreign workers. 
Plaintiffs in the case argue that Meta has a pattern of prioritizing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43964101/meta-hit-with-lawsuit-claiming-it-favors-foreign-workers-over-us-citizens-mark-zuckerberg-led-tech-giant-calls-it-baseless">visa holders</a> for employment, a claim supported by court-cited statistics: 15% of Meta&#8217;s U.S. workforce holds H-1B visas, compared to 0.5% across all industries.
Meta has denied the allegations and called the discrimination claims &#8220;baseless.&#8221;
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) ranked near the bottom of the 30 companies on Pew Research's list with less than 1,100 H-1B visas, accounting for 0.3% of total H-1B approvals. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been an outspoken<a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1872374103983759835"> proponent</a> of the visa program, likening it to drafting talented foreign players to bolster an NBA team. 
The H-1B program, established in 1990, enables U.S. employers to recruit skilled foreign professionals with bachelor's degrees or equivalent qualifications for specialized roles.&nbsp;
H1-B visas are initially valid for three years, renewable up to six years, with potential extensions for those pursuing permanent residency. In 2023, 400,000 H-1B applications were approved with 65% of approvals being renewals.

Big Tech Companies Employ Majority Of H-1B Visa Workers: Where Do Amazon, Google, Meta Rank?

After last week&#8217;s down-to-sideways markets and no major market events scheduled for this week, you need to brace yourself for a bumpy ride.
Until the quarterly options expire on Monday, headlines will dominate this market. If there is any whiff of new tariffs, expect a market bump.
New geopolitical tension? Another bump.
That doesn&#8217;t mean there&#8217;s nothing to trade this week. As long as tariff news doesn&#8217;t arrive, the indices will (and are) slowly trend up. And individual stocks offer even more upside potential.
Especially NVDA.
The major indices have a small amount of upside available if we have no new tariff news this week. This would translate to SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) having room to $575 but struggling beyond that. For single tickers, particularly in the semi and tech space, there is room for more upside.
In the absence of major events this week, markets will be a bit more ‘free-running' with the specter of tariffs waiting in the background and the quarterly op-ex not exerting pressures till the end of the week. 
Our one concern is the key SPY $570 level. 570 is the Bull/Bear Pivot level and the beginning of the neutral zone between 570-575. Get much above this level, and bulls take control and prices soar. Get far below it, and bulls take charge and prices tank.
But it&#8217;s also a fragile level. If the SPY closes below 570, this will put us back into negative gamma. And considering volatility has come down a lot (under 19 as of this writing), a volatility spike because of, say, a new tariff could cause a lot of losses.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdBYo6vFwH0ZN2flaoG6EoZl2VfeDzGINY6zle0ZTv6NAZlyLCv8Hh-92ro1oIKsQz7a9Ym_x4tWQngHcoqfngtPRnXxmKuemVVCAkpCmWC4aJwZnXBinBJ7gG5iEfKhUYEnIGM_w?key=yuuB6IzeJzec1RPv_5UalRft" alt="" /></figure>
Meanwhile, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has much more room to run. The stock&#8217;s&nbsp; Bull/Bear Pivot level is currently 120, which is hovering around that price point. If it breaks out above it, that&#8217;s a signal to buy it. If it stays below, you should stay away. Any tariff surprise is unlikely to hit NVDA directly, as chip tariffs have already been raised and digested by the markets.
Along with other individual tech stocks such as Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), NVDA is a good play for this week heading into the weekend.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Spot the Market Bottom &#8211; Live on Wednesday</h2>

Nvidia Is A Good Buy In This Sideways Market

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett continues to post annual gains for Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) stock that outperform the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years"> tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index.</a>
Strong gains for Berkshire stock in 2025 have Buffett as one of the few winners among the world's richest people in the first three months of the new year.
What Happened: Billionaire Elon Musk continues to rank as the world's richest person, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44235956/tesla-bloodbath-to-continue-hedge-funder-says-musk-circus-could-lead-to-stock-dropping-95">a sharp drop in the value</a> of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock has hurt his overall wealth.
At the time of writing, Musk is listed with a wealth of $320 billion by the Bloomberg Billionaires <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>. This ranks Musk as the world's richest person and he remains significantly ahead of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who is second at $217 billion.
Musk has lost $113 billion in wealth in 2025, according to the wealth index. While Musk remains the world's richest person, his drop in wealth is higher than all but 10 people in the world with the 11th richest person currently listed with a wealth of $108 billion.
On the flip side, there is Buffett who has ranked in the top 10 richest people in the world for many years with steady gains.
Buffett currently ranks sixth on the list with a wealth of $163 billion. Buffett has added $21.2 billion to his wealth. The investor, who is also known as the Oracle of Omaha has also gained four places on the billionaire list <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/01/42771258/worlds-top-10-richest-people-gained-more-wealth-in-2024-than-costco-and-nikes-combined-valuation-how-elon-musk-warren-buffett-and-others-fared">after ending 2024 </a>in 10th place.
The Berkshire Hathaway Chairman is the top gainer year-to-date in 2025 and one of only three billionaires in the top 15 to have added to their wealth this year.
The other two gainers are Mark Zuckerberg, who ranks third and is up $3.44 billion to $211 billion, and Bill Gates, who ranks seventh and is up $3.5 billion to $162 billion.

<li>Stay in the know with our Insider Trades page — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/">see when leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jensen Huang are offloading their own shares.</a></li>
</ul>
Why It's Important: In 2024, many billionaires added to their wealth with stock markets hitting all-time highs and private company valuations soaring.
Musk ended 2024 valued at $432 billion, up $203 billion for the full year.
Buffett ended 2024 valued at $142 billion, up $22.2 billion for the full year.
In 2025, many stocks are down, including the overall SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust, which has lost 1.7% year-to-date.
Tesla stock is down 26.9% year-to-date in 2025 to $277.36 at the time of writing.
Compare that to Berkshire Hathaway stock, which is up 17.0% year-to-date in 2025 and is currently on pace to outperform both Tesla and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust.
While Buffett remains well behind Musk in wealth, currently worth half of the Tesla CEO, consistent gains and a strong performance by Berkshire Hathaway stock have helped the legendary investor continue to rank among the richest people in the world.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

On Tuesday, Chinese AI startup DeepSeek released its upgraded DeepSeek-V3-0324 model, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43851567/deepseeks-r1-model-revolutionizes-ai-landscape-says-expert-franklin-burgess" rel="noreferrer noopener">enhancing reasoning and coding abilities</a>.
Available on Hugging Face, the <a target="_blank" href="https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324" rel="noreferrer noopener">model</a> shows improved performance in technical benchmarks, intensifying competition with U.S. leaders like OpenAI and Anthropic.
The updated model has shown improvements across multiple benchmarks, particularly scoring 59.4 on the American Invitational Mathematics Examination, up from 39.6 in its predecessor, according to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3303798/deepseeks-upgraded-foundational-model-excels-coding-and-maths?firstTimeRegister=true" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>by the South China Morning Post.

It also gained 10 points on LiveCodeBench, reaching a score of 49.2. The new model, with 685 billion parameters, uses an MIT software license, unlike DeepSeek V3, which has 671 billion parameters and a commercial license.
Earlier this year, DeepSeek&#8217;s R1 model disrupted American tech supremacy, sparking debates about Big Tech&#8217;s significant investments in large <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43851567/deepseeks-r1-model-revolutionizes-ai-landscape-says-expert-franklin-burgess" rel="noreferrer noopener">language models and data centers.</a>
R1 made waves with its performance and lower costs, but analysts reportedly believe DeepSeek&#8217;s biggest impact is encouraging the use of open-source AI models, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/china-open-source-deepseek-ai-spurs-innovation-and-adoption.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>. This shift has been a key factor in the company&#8217;s influence on the industry.
Wei Sun, principal analyst at Counterpoint Research, told CNBC that DeepSeek&#8217;s success shows open-source strategies drive faster innovation and wider adoption, with many companies adopting the model. She also mentioned that R1 is influencing China&#8217;s AI scene, prompting major firms like Baidu to open-source their own LLMs in response.
Recently, Kai-Fu Lee, the former head of Alphabet Inc.&#8217;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>)&nbsp;Google China and founder of AI startup&nbsp;01.AI, said that the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37179799/elon-musk-taunts-sam-altman-and-openai-over-open-image" rel="noreferrer noopener">rise of open-source AI</a> models like&nbsp;DeepSeek&nbsp;has exposed an existential risk to OpenAI&#8217;s business—and he&#8217;s pivoting his company accordingly.
He questioned the long-term sustainability of OpenAI&#8217;s business model, especially when competing against open-source projects that offer similar quality at a fraction of the cost.
Tim Wang, managing partner at Monolith Management, shared in an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/china-open-source-deepseek-ai-spurs-innovation-and-adoption.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">interview</a> with CNBC that models from companies like DeepSeek have been powerful enablers in China, showing how progress can be made with fewer resources.
He noted that open-source models have reduced costs, allowing for product innovation—an area where Chinese companies excel.
Wang compared this development to the &#8220;Android moment,&#8221; when Google&#8217;s decision to make its operating system&#8217;s source code available sparked innovation in the app ecosystem.
He added that the perception of China being 12 to 24 months behind the U.S. in AI has now shifted to just 3 to 6 months.
This shift in China&#8217;s AI landscape, driven by open-source models like DeepSeek, is changing global competition and challenging traditional business models.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of March 25, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Shanghai-based robotics startup Agibot has announced plans to produce up to 5,000 robots this year, setting itself up as a direct competitor to Elon Musk&#8217;s Optimus plans.
What Happened: Agibot, also known as Zhiyuan Robotics, aims to substantially boost its production from fewer than 1,000 units last year, according to Yao Maoqing, a partner at Agibot and president of its embodied intelligence unit. The company&#8217;s ambitious production surge reflects the growing enthusiasm among Chinese robotics startups amid a domestic industry boom, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3303666/chinese-humanoid-robot-maker-agibot-plans-match-musks-optimus-output-year?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=section">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
Founded in 2023, Agibot has rapidly emerged as a leading force in Shanghai&#8217;s robotics industry. The company is planning to open a new plant in the Pudong district to boost its production capacity to over 400 robots per month, Yao revealed.
&#8220;This&nbsp;year, we aim to deploy&nbsp;new products in industrial scenarios,&nbsp;replacing humans in specific tasks&nbsp;to create tangible customer value,&#8221; Yao said. He also estimated that it would take approximately five more years for humanoid robots to be widely adopted in households.
Agibot was co-founded by Peng Zhihui, a former participant in Huawei&#8217;s prestigious &#8220;Genius Youth&#8221; program. The company now focuses on three main product lines: Yuanzheng, a bipedal humanoid robot for commercial use; Genie, a wheeled robot with dual arms; and Lingxi, a compact humanoid designed for developers and consumers.
The start-up has successfully undergone a minimum of eight funding rounds, securing investments from leading venture capitalists and industry heavyweights. The startup is currently valued at approximately 10 billion yuan ($1.38 billion), according to Yao.

Why It Matters: Agibot&#8217;s ambitious production plans come at a time when Musk&#8217;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is also ramping up its Optimus humanoid robot production. In Musk&#8217;s recent all-hands meeting, he announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44429586/elon-musk-says-hang-on-to-your-stock-in-surprise-late-evening-tesla-all-hands-meeting-touts-7-million-evs-optimus-robot-and-ai-supercomputer-dojo">plans to produce</a> several thousand Optimus robots for deployment in Tesla&#8217;s own factory.
Furthermore, in January, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43325888/tesla-likely-to-sell-optimus-to-rival-companies-in-2026-price-point-of-humanoid-robot-to-be-detemined-by-demand-says-ceo-elon-musk">indicated</a>&nbsp;that Tesla may sell Optimus to rival companies in 2026. He also stated, "I think long-term Optimus has the potential to be north of $10 trillion in revenue.&#8221;
Last year, Goldman Sachs estimated that the global humanoid robot market could reach a value of $38 billion by 2035, and it seems China wants to place itself at the forefront of this phenomenon. According to the International Federation of Robotics, China already leads the industrial robotics sector.
This suggests that Agibot&#8217;s aggressive production plans could be a strategic move to position itself as a key player in the emerging humanoid robot market, potentially even as a competitor to Tesla.

China's Agibot Plans To Compete With Elon Musk's Optimus, Set to Produce 5,000 Robots In 2025

Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has something to cheer about in China, with weekly insured registrations hitting 17,300, marking the highest point this year.
What Happened: This increase aligns with the ramped-up production of the refreshed Model Y, as highlighted in a post on X by Future Fund LLC Managing Partner Gary Black on Tuesday.

Additionally, former President Donald Trump has proposed &#8220;secondary tariffs,&#8221; a strategy designed to penalize<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44468587/trump-announces-auto-tariffs-are-imminent-but-some-countries-might-receive-exemptions"> nations purchasing oil and gas from Venezuela</a>.
Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s recent achievement in China comes at a time when the company is facing multiple challenges globally.

In Europe, Tesla&#8217;s market share has been shrinking despite a growing demand for electric vehicles. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, Tesla&#8217;s sales in Europe have dropped by 42.6% this year, with its market share falling to 1.8% from 2.8% last year.

Tesla's China Weekly Insured Numbers Hit New Year-To-Date High: Gary Black Says TSLA's Europe Sales Decline Not Relevant

U.S. stock futures declined on Tuesday, after advancing for two consecutive sessions on Friday and Monday.
Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket trading, signaling some profit-taking after two days of advances.
President Donald Trump said Monday that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44468587/trump-announces-auto-tariffs-are-imminent-but-some-countries-might-receive-exemptions">automobile tariffs are imminent</a>, though not all will take effect by April 2. During a White House briefing, he suggested some countries may be exempt but provided no details, per Reuters. 
He also introduced a 25% tariff on nations purchasing Venezuelan oil or gas, impacting global prices. A White House official stated that the timeline for industry-specific tariffs, including those on automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor chips, remains unclear.
The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.35%, while the two-year yield was at 4.05%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is an 89.2% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep the interest rates unchanged during its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
As the market has rebounded after Trump&#8217;s softer stance on tariffs, &#8220;Recent calm suggests advisors may have persuaded Trump to hold off the worst, but clarity is essential,&#8221; said senior economist Jeremy Siegel.
&#8220;A clear and measured tariff plan—particularly if it avoids broad retaliation—could trigger a strong relief rally,&#8221; he added.
Market watchers are keenly focused on international trade, with April 2nd emerging as a pivotal date, according to Siegel. The anticipated release of President Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariff plans on that day holds the potential to either alleviate or exacerbate existing trade war concerns, he noted.
Siegel emphasized that the recent 10% equity downturn from December&#8217;s peaks underscores the significant investor apprehension surrounding unpredictable tariff announcements and their potential to destabilize global market sentiment.
Talking about the Federal Reserve&#8217;s commentary last week, Siegel added, &#8220;Fed Chair Powell's tone emphasized flexibility, dismissing long-term inflation fears tied to tariffs, and citing evidence from the financial markets muted long-term expectations. It's no surprise equities liked that combination from Powell, but sentiment remains jittery on tariff side.&#8221;
According to Kathy Jones, managing director and chief fixed income strategist at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, the markets were stuck in a range amid policy uncertainty.
&#8220;Some of the proposed policies are expected to slow growth such as tariffs and limits on immigration, while tax cuts and deregulation could boost growth. Similarly, some policies are likely to raise inflation pressures while slower growth could reduce them. With the Fed on hold amid the policy &#8216;uncertainty,&#8217; the market is stuck in a range.&#8221;

US Stocks Likely To Open Lower After 2-Day Advance: Clear And Measured Tariff Plan Could 'Trigger A Strong Relief Rally,' Says Expert

Analysts Gordon Johnson and Jim Chanos are intensifying their critical stance on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), citing significant challenges in the electric vehicle manufacturer&#8217;s performance and market position.
What Happened: Johnson of GLJ Research launched a scathing critique on social media platform X, highlighting Tesla&#8217;s deteriorating financial metrics. &#8220;Tesla&#8217;s margins are imploding,&#8221; Johnson wrote, pointing to frequent discounts and what he describes as collapsing brand and market share across global markets including China, the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia.
Johnson&#8217;s analysis suggests Tesla trades at 127x 2025 estimated adjusted earnings per share, compared to the Magnificent Seven tech stocks&#8217; average of 32x. He emphasizes that Tesla is not truly a tech stock, with approximately 90% of its revenue derived from automobile sales.

Why It Matters: The ongoing debate between Johnson and Fox Business Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino has further spotlighted Tesla&#8217;s challenges. Johnson notes that since 2022, Tesla&#8217;s stock has declined 30.4% while the S&amp;P 500 has increased 20.2% during the same period.

Gordon Johnson Defends Tesla Short Thesis As Margins Shrink, Discounts Rise: Jim Chanos Notes 35% YTD Drop In San Diego County Sales

Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has seen its market share in Europe shrink, despite a surge in demand for electric vehicles (EVs). The company&#8217;s sales have dipped for two consecutive months.
What Happened: Data&nbsp;from the European Automobile Manufacturers&nbsp;Association (ACEA) indicates that Tesla&#8217;s sales in Europe have plummeted by 42.6% this year. Tesla&#8217;s market share stood at 1.8% of the overall market and 10.3% of the BEV market, marking a notable decline from the previous year&#8217;s 2.8% and 21.6%, respectively, reported Reuters.
In February, Tesla sold fewer than 17,000 cars across the European Union, Britain, and European Free Trade Association countries, a sharp drop from over 28,000 in the same month of 2024. The company is grappling with challenges such as an aging lineup and stiff competition from traditional automakers and new Chinese entrants launching often cheaper electric models.
Interestingly, despite Tesla&#8217;s struggles, overall BEV sales in these markets rose by 26.1% compared to&nbsp;February 2024, even as total&nbsp;car sales fell by 3.1%, according to ACEA. A recent EU filing disclosed that Tesla had established a pool to sell carbon credits to over half a dozen automakers, assisting them in complying with European CO2 emission targets that took effect in January.

Why It Matters: This decline in Tesla&#8217;s market share comes on the heels of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44466839/more-bad-news-for-elon-musk-as-top-analyst-forecasts-stock-price-falling-by-as-much-as-50">forecast</a>&nbsp;by JPMorgan analysts predicting a sharp decline in Tesla&#8217;s share price. The report, published by Forbes, noted that Tesla&#8217;s stock lost $127 billion in value in just one day of trading in early March. 
The analysis also downgraded its expectations for Tesla&#8217;s delivery vehicles this quarter from 445,000 to 335,000. If these predictions hold true, Tesla&#8217;s delivery total would be its lowest since Q3 2022. Also, Deepwater Asset&#8217;s Managing Partner, Gene Munster predicted on Monday that Tesla's delivery numbers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44458244/tech-sector-to-see-major-impact-from-tariffs-and-teslas-delivery-numbers-says-top-analyst-calls-april-2-as-the-vortex-day">would be weaker</a> than anticipated in March. 
However, Felipe Munoz, Global Analyst at JATO Dynamics, stated that Tesla is undergoing significant changes, including CEO Elon Musk's growing political involvement, rising competition in the EV market, and the phase-out of the current Model Y to make way for a refreshed version, as reported by Autocar Professional.
&nbsp;"During this process, brands often experience a drop in sales before they return to normal levels, once the updated model becomes widely available. Brands like Tesla, which have a relatively limited model lineup, are particularly vulnerable to registration declines when undertaking a model changeover,&#8221; explained Munoz. 
Tesla holds a momentum rating of 84.01% and a growth rating of 67.94%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

Tesla's Market Share In Europe Declines For Second Consecutive Month Despite Growing EV Demand

Investors should brace for a potentially transformative year in humanoid robotics, with industry experts forecasting significant technological and market developments in 2025, according to recent insights from leading technology executives and investment analysts.
What Happened: Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management believes 2025 will mark a critical inflection point for humanoid robot investments. Drawing parallels to the recent quantum technology surge, Munster suggests the sector could see comparable investor enthusiasm, with key players like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) positioned to benefit. &#8220;The humanoid trade is set to begin,&#8221; Munster wrote. 
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently projected humanoid robots could become a commercial reality within the next few years, specifically targeting manufacturing as the initial deployment sector. Huang estimates the economic value of a humanoid robot at approximately $100,000, highlighting the potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44390083/nvidia-ai-boom-just-beginning-as-blackwell-gains-traction-and-rubin-ultra-raises-the-power-bar-says-gene-munster-investors-are-still-skeptical">cost-effectiveness for industrial applications</a>.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been equally bullish, projecting the company will produce around 5,000 Optimus units this year for internal use, with potential sales to other companies by late 2026. Musk&#8217;s most ambitious projection suggests Optimus could generate over $10 trillion in revenue, a figure he acknowledges sounds &#8220;absolutely insane&#8221; but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43325888/tesla-likely-to-sell-optimus-to-rival-companies-in-2026-price-point-of-humanoid-robot-to-be-detemined-by-demand-says-ceo-elon-musk">remains confident about</a>.

Why It Matters: Morgan Stanley&#8217;s research provides additional context, predicting <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44412574/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-sees-humanoid-robots-in-factories-in-less-than-5-years">that 40,000 humanoid robots will work alongside humans</a> in the U.S. by 2030, with projections reaching 8 million by 2040 and 63 million by 2055.
Investors eyeing this emerging market should watch companies like Tesla, Nvidia, and XPeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), which Munster specifically highlighted as potential beneficiaries of the growing humanoid robot trend.
While massive commercial deployment is not expected until closer to 2030, the groundwork being laid in 2025 could represent a critical investment opportunity in what may become a revolutionary technological sector.
Beyond Tesla, Nvidia, and XPeng, several other publicly traded companies are advancing in the humanoid robotics sector. Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has integrated Agility Robotics&#8216; bipedal robot Digit into its warehouses, while Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) collaborates with Boston Dynamics on AI-powered humanoid development.
Nvidia&#8217;s stock holds the highest quality rank in the humanoid robotics sector, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA">Benzinga Edge rankings</a>.

Gene Munster Predicts 2025 As The Year Of Humanoid Investor Hype, Citing Elon Musk And Jensen Huang's Influence—Tesla, Nvidia, And XPeng Poised To Benefit

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed further improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index moved to the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Monday, with the Dow Jones index jumping nearly 600 points during the session. The broad-market S&amp;P 500 reported gains last week after recording losses for four straight weeks. The Nasdaq gained 0.2%, while the Dow added 1.2% during the week.
President Donald Trump's softer tone on potential tariffs ahead of the looming April 2, 2025 deadline helped calm nerves. Adding to the optimism, fresh business surveys showed a strong rebound in services activity in March, easing recession worries.
The Chicago Fed National Activity Index rose to 0.18 in February versus a reading of -0.08 in January. The S&amp;P Global services PMI climbed to 54.3 in March from 51 in February. The S&amp;P Global US Manufacturing PMI declined to 49.8 in March versus 52.7 in the previous month.
Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which have dipped for nine consecutive weeks, gained around 12% on Monday. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) each jumped more than 3% during the session.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with consumer discretionary, communication services, and industrials stocks recording gains on Monday. However, utility stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session slightly lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 598 points to 42,583.32 on Monday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.76% to 5,767.57, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 2.27% at 18,188.59 during Monday's session.

Microalgo, Palantir, 23Andme, AMD, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Elon Musk recently took to social media to express his confusion over the backlash he faces, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1901635479528726969">writing</a>, &#8220;My companies make great products that people love and I've never physically hurt anyone. So why the hate and violence against me? Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls.&#8221;
His post was in response to a tweet from &#8220;Insurrection Barbie,&#8221; who claimed, &#8220;The left cannot name one thing they hate Elon Musk for.&#8221;

'Why The Hate And Violence Against Me?'—Elon Musk Questions Backlash, Says He's Only Made Products People Love, Never Physically Hurt Anyone

President Donald Trump hinted at tariff relief for select nations in a White House appearance on Monday, while celebrating Hyundai Motor Co. (OTCPK: HYMLF) 's $21 billion investment push in Louisiana, a move that includes increased steel output and underscores growing foreign confidence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">in America&#8217;s manufacturing sector.</a>
Trump reiterated that reciprocal tariffs are expected to be announced on Apr. 2, but suggested some flexibility: "I may give a lot of countries breaks on tariffs," he said, adding that "not all tariffs will be included on April 2."
Trump&#8217;s remarks mark a significant twist in his tariff strategy, long defined by aggressive policies aimed at reducing the country&#8217;s trade deficits. 
"They've charged us so much that I'm embarrassed to charge them what they've charged us," Trump said. "But it'll be substantial."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Tariffs Incoming, But Not for Everyone</h3>
Trump confirmed that new tariffs targeting foreign-made automobiles, chips and lumber will be unveiled "over the next days," though details remain limited. 
"We're going to get all those chip companies coming back," Trump said.
A separate 25% tariff on oil-importing nations trading with Venezuela, announced earlier on Monday, was also confirmed. 
The levy will be in addition to existing duties, Trump clarified. 
Trump dubbed the broader tariff push "Liberation Day," describing it as a turning point for the U.S. economy that would deliver "lower taxes and all the things that are good—and jobs, a lot of jobs."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hyundai Commits $21B To US Manufacturing</h3>
Trump appeared alongside Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and Hyundai executive chair Euisun Chung to unveil the South Korean automaker's ambitious expansion in the United States. 
The centerpiece is a new steel plant in Louisiana expected to produce more than 2.7 million metric tons of steel annually and create about 1,400 jobs.
Hyundai will be exempted from tariff applications, Trump indicated. 
"This is the beginning of a lot of things happening," Trump said. "Hyundai is a great company. We have other great companies coming in… We're well into the $3 and $4 trillion mark [in investments], which has never happened to our country before."
The Hyundai steel facility is just one part of the company's broader U.S. strategy. In his Monday remarks, Chung said the firm is committing $6 billion to strengthen the American steel supply chain. 
A separate $8 billion EV manufacturing plant is opening this week in Georgia. Hyundai also plans to purchase $3 billion worth of U.S. liquefied natural gas.
Altogether, the company plans to invest $21 billion in the U.S. over the next four years.
Trump also highlighted major investment commitments from other companies such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). 
"We're well into the $3 and $4 trillion mark [in investments], which has never happened to our country before," he said. "What it really means is jobs. We care about jobs."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Louisiana's Industrial Boom: 50 Billion In Projects</h3>
"I told them we would have a great president this year," Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, a staunch Trump ally, said. 
"It's not just promises, it's about action. We'll have $50 billion worth of construction projects going on in Louisiana. That is a record, Mr. President."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Wall Street advanced further during afternoon trading in New York amid reassuring Trump remarks on tariffs. The S&amp;P 500 index – tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – was up 1.8%. 
Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rallied 11%, while the broader the tech sector as tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) soared 2%.

FBI Director Says Investigating The Increase In Violent Activity Toward Tesla, And Over The Last Few Days; Taken Additional Steps To Crack Down And Coordinate Our Response

President Donald Trump has been critical of electric vehicles over the years, which may explain why many people were surprised when he bought a Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) vehicle he can't drive and publicly endorsed the electric vehicle company at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/03/44289061/why-trumps-new-tesla-wont-be-hitting-the-open-road">the White House.</a>
Here's a look back at some of Trump's harshest criticisms of electric vehicles in recent years.
What Happened: Similarly to reversing course and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41096120/if-you-invested-1-000-in-bitcoin-when-donald-trump-said-he-wasnt-a-fan-heres-how-much-youd">public criticism on Bitcoin</a>, Trump may have also had a change of heart when it comes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39255336/trump-praises-electric-vehicles-elon-musk-in-one-speech-blames-evs-for-destroying-bridges-in-another">to electric vehicles.</a>
For electric vehicles, Trump's past criticism turned to support, mainly for Tesla Inc. and CEO Elon Musk. This support, of course, comes from Musk, who supported Trump financially during his 2024 presidential election campaign and now helps the White House administration with the Department of Government Efficiency.
Trump recently paid back Musk's support with a White House event featuring several Tesla vehicles. The president bought an EV for his staff while telling reporters and the public he supports Tesla and hopes the stock price goes up.
This support starkly contrasts Trump&#8217;s comments in 2023 and during his 2024 campaign trail.
At a Town Hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity in December 2023, Trump <a href="https://x.com/patriottakes/status/1899674372132016524">criticized </a>electric vehicles. "They have so many electric vehicles. Nobody wants to buy them," he said.
Trump, who noted the government was subsidizing electric vehicles, said they should be sold alongside hybrids and combustion-engine gasoline cars.
On Christmas Day 2023, Trump posted a series of posts on social media platform Truth Social that took on several people and industries.
Among those attacked were "All Electric Car Lunacy," one of many groups Trump said was trying to destroy the country.
"MAY THEY ROT IN HELL," Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111642745146668045">said </a>of the people and industries he named in the post.
One of Trump's harsher attacks on EVs and their owners came at an Iowa campaign stop on Oct. 1, 2023.
"The happiest people in the world are the people who just got their electric vehicle charged, for ten minutes," Trump said, as <a href="https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2023/10/01/trump-blasts-desantis-other-rivals-in-ottumwa/">reported </a>by the Iowa Capital Dispatch. "After that, they become somewhat schizophrenic because they're thinking about where the hell am I going to get a recharge."
Trump also criticized electric boats in that speech, when he famously said boat batteries were too heavy and the boats could sink leaving owners with the choice of electrocution or a shark.

Investing $1,000 in Tesla Stock: Investors who thought Trump was right in his criticism of electric vehicles may have decided to avoid stocks like Tesla in 2023.
Likewise, investors who thought Trump was wrong and saw demand for electric vehicles may have considered investing in Tesla stock at the time.
A $1,000 investment in Tesla stock could have bought 4.08 TSLA shares on the morning of Oct. 2, the day after Trump's comments in Iowa.
The $1,000 investment would be worth $1,112.82 today, up 11.3%. While that doesn't mark a huge gain, the investment would have been up 99.3% back in December, when Tesla shares hit all-time highs after Trump&#8217;s 2024 presidential election win.
Going forward, Tesla could be a potential winner from Trump's presidency. The president will likely ensure that the regulatory environment is positive for Musk and the company.
Trump previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41298125/maybe-musk-missed-the-memo-trumps-plan-to-ban-autonomous-vehicles-could-sour-friendship"> called for a ban </a>on autonomous vehicles on roads, but he has since changed his tune in that regard, as Musk is counting on autonomous vehicles as one of the top pillars of growth for Tesla going forward.
