Shares of General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) are little changed Monday despite news that rivals Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42642773/honda-nissan-start-merger-talks">are discussing a merger</a>. 
This would create the world's third-largest automaker.
It is not clear how this would affect the long-term prospects of GM. But in the short term, the recent downtrend may be over. The stage may be set for a rally. This is why we have made it our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
Some analysts believe that markets are efficient and stocks follow a ‘random walk'. They are wrong. If the markets were random, all price levels would have equal importance. Clearly, that's not the case in the markets.
As you can see on the chart below, the $50.00 level has been important for GM since August. It was well-defined resistance and now it has converted into a support level.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="562" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1-1024x562.png" alt="" class="wp-image-704471" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1-1024x562.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1-300x165.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1-768x421.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23105205/15-1.png 1489w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
From a traditional fundamental analysis point of view, there is no reason why a stock should turn when it reaches a round level like GM did. But from a technical analysis perspective, the reason why is clear. It is because of investor and trader psychology.

People like to place orders at nice round levels, and that is what happened here.
In addition, there is support at the $50.00 level because it had been resistance. In the financial markets support forming at levels that were previously resistance is a common occurrence. It also is because of investor and trader psychology.
It is due to ‘seller's remorse'.
When the $50.00 resistance was broken and the price moved higher, a number of the people who sold shares at the resistance decided that the decision to sell was a mistake. Some vowed to buy their shares back if they can do so at the same price they were sold at.
As a result, when the stock fell back to $50.00, they placed buy orders. The large concentration of these orders formed support.
Some of these buyers may become concerned others will be willing to pay higher prices and they know this is who the sellers will go to. So, they may increase the prices they are willing to pay. Others will see this and may do the same.
It could result in a bidding war or snowball effect that forces GM into a new uptrend.

Stock Of The Day: Is The General Motors Downtrend Over?

News Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NWS#NASDAQ">NWS</a>) shares are trading higher on Monday. On Sunday, the company inked a deal to sell its Foxtel Group to DAZN Group Limited for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42639259/news-corp-announces-agreement-to-sell-foxtel-to-dazn-for-enterprise-value-of-a-3-4-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">an enterprise value</a> of roughly $2.12 billion (AU$3.4 billion).
As part of the deal, News Corp&#8217;s shareholder loans of AU$ 578 million will be fully repaid in cash at closing.
Foxtel&#8217;s debt will be refinanced and transferred, with News Corp retaining a 6% equity stake in DAZN and a seat on its Board of Directors.
Telstra Group Ltd will also sell its minority stake in Foxtel, receive repayment of A$128 million in shareholder loans, and acquire a 3% equity interest in DAZN.7x its fiscal 2024 EBITDA.
The sale of Foxtel follows a strategic and financial review by News Corp as part of its efforts to optimize its portfolio and simplify its structure.
The deal with DAZN, known for its global reach, technology, and extensive content, will further strengthen Foxtel&#8217;s position as a digital-first, streaming-focused company, with Patrick Delany continuing as CEO.
This transaction allows News Corp to sharpen its focus on key growth areas: Dow Jones, Digital Real Estate Services, and Book Publishing.
Additionally, News Corp will maintain a stake in DAZN, a rapidly growing global sports streaming platform with over 300 million viewers across 200 markets.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of fiscal 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
From a financial reporting perspective, Foxtel will be classified as discontinued operations starting in the second quarter of FY25.
News Corp Chief Executive Robert Thomson said, &#8220;Foxtel has been transformed into a genuine digital and streaming leader in Australia, and we believe DAZN is the right owner to take the business to the next level with their technological capabilities, global footprint and compelling sports rights.
&#8221;This transaction also allows News Corp to focus on our other growth pillars of Dow Jones, Digital Real Estate and Book Publishing, while benefiting from repayment of our shareholder loans and an improved credit profile.&#8221;
Shay Segev, DAZN&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, added, &#8220;Australians watch more sport than any other country in the world, which makes this deal an incredibly exciting opportunity for DAZN to enter a key market, marking another step in our long-term strategy to become the global home of sport.&#8221;
As of September 30, NWS&#8217;s cash and cash <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41824310/news-corporation-reports-first-quarter-results-for-fiscal-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">equivalents stood at $1.78 billion</a>.

Shares of autonomous driving technology leader Pony AI Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PONY#NASDAQ">PONY</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42228142/symbotic-unusual-machines-vci-global-pony-ai-tesla-why-these-5-stocks-are-on-investors-radars-today">debuted on Nasdaq in November</a>.
The Fremont, California-based company has the largest fleet of Level 4 autonomous mobility, offering robotaxi and robotruck services across China, according to Goldman Sachs.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/635ac86c2048c300015a37cd/allen-chang">Analyst Allen Chang</a> initiated coverage of Pony AI with a Buy rating and a price target of $19.60.
The Pony AI Thesis: The company is the first to operate completely driverless robotaxis in four tier-1 cities in China, having obtained regulatory permits for providing robotaxi services to the general public, Chang said in the initiation note.

While competition is a concern, it will take time for other companies to develop a vehicle that does not need any safety drivers to offer a better riding experience to passengers versus traditional taxis, the analyst stated. 
"Besides, it also takes time to accumulate autonomous driving mileage / track record to earn the operation license from governments," he added.
"Pony AI continues to make progress on robotaxi commercialization, and we expect a revenue CAGR of 27% in 2024-27E on ramp up of its robotaxi fleet operation and start of licenses fee contribution from robotaxi solutions, then a 158% CAGR over 2027-30E with accelerated scale expansion, driving EBITDA and NI to turn positive in 2030E," Chang further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of Pony AI had risen by 4.48% to $13.75 at the time of publication on Monday.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Kevin O&#8217;Leary, the well-known entrepreneur and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42559810/people-think-kevin-oleary-is-the-mean-shark-but-he-says-im-not-mean-i-just-tell-the-truth-to-keep-families-from-going-broke">investor from Shark Tank</a>, has weighed in on why so many tech CEOs and business leaders are suddenly cozying up to President-elect Donald Trump. During a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oML1qbX1_uM">interview</a> on Fox &amp; Friends, O&#8217;Leary said it's not just about Trump's corporate tax policies – the real reason is deregulation.
For context, Trump's policies, such as maintaining the 21% corporate tax rate, undoubtedly appeal to businesses. However, according to O'Leary, the bigger draw is Trump's commitment to cutting federal red tape, making it easier for businesses to grow and operate without constant legal battles and administrative hurdles.

</ul>
O&#8217;Leary pointed out that federal deregulation under Trump's administration is particularly attractive to companies involved in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/m-a">mergers and acquisitions</a>. He noted that Trump will "cool off all these pursuits and change many of the administrative rules that make it harder to get things done."
In simple terms, businesses see Trump as someone who will make it easier for them to operate without worrying about constant interference from regulators. That's a huge selling point for companies looking to expand or innovate.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CEOs See Trump as &#8216;The Guy&#8217;</h2>
O&#8217;Leary was direct about why CEOs are eager to meet with Trump. &#8220;They're not stupid,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They're saying, &#8216;Well, I think I'm going to go suck up with him because he's the guy for sure for the next two years.'&#8221;

This isn't just about tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos. O&#8217;Leary said leaders from various industries – and even other countries – are lining up to meet with Trump, recognizing his influence and power in shaping business policy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Donations for Trump&#8217;s Inauguration</h2>
Mark Zuckerberg and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42479253/jeff-bezos-amazon-pledges-1-million-to-trumps-inaugural-event-following-in-the-footsteps-of-mark-zuckerberg-and-meta">Jeff Bezos have each contributed $1 million</a> through their companies, Meta Platforms and Amazon. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is joining them, making a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/12/42485193/sam-altman-to-donate-1m-to-trumps-inauguration-fund-following-zuckerberg-bezos-eager-to-support">personal donation of $1 million</a>. Perhaps surprisingly, the trading platform Robinhood has donated $2 million.
O&#8217;Leary highlighted that these donations represent a shift in attitude among business leaders. This is about aligning with Trump's vision for the economy and acknowledging his dominance in shaping the future of policy.&nbsp;
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Altman, for instance, has publicly praised Trump's commitment to advancing AI infrastructure, a sentiment echoed by other tech leaders. &#8220;President Donald Trump will lead our country into the age of AI and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead,&#8221; he said.
The President-elect&#8217;s ability to remove regulatory roadblocks has made him an attractive ally for business leaders, regardless of their personal opinions about him.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Deregulation Can Be Harmful</h2>

It can also mean fewer consumer protections, which could let businesses focus more on profits than on doing what's right for people.
