Nokia Launches FastMile Gateway 4, Expanding Wi-Fi 7 FWA Portfolio With High-Speed 5G Connectivity

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is set to broaden its automotive offerings by incorporating used cars into its Amazon Autos platform. This move was announced by Fan Jin, Amazon Autos Director, on Wednesday.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://www.autonews.com/retail/an-amazon-eyes-used-car-sales-0319/">a</a> report by Automotive News, the platform, which recently transitioned from a closed pilot to a public beta, is now operational in 68 markets, up from 54 in January.
Jin emphasized to Automotive News that the program aims to assist dealers in maximizing inventory clearance. &#8220;Our focus is really on dealers and how we serve the whole dealer — all that they want to sell in the way that they want to sell them,&#8221; she stated.

The initiative is designed to streamline the car-buying process for customers while maintaining the traditional dealership model.
Amazon&#8217;s expansion into used cars could pose challenges for existing auto retailers.
Why It Matters: The introduction of used cars to Amazon Autos marks a significant step in the company&#8217;s automotive strategy.
Initially, Amazon Autos <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/12/42427200/amazon-autos-buy-your-next-car-online-its-just-a-click-away">launched</a> with new Hyundai vehicles, allowing customers in 48 U.S. cities to order, finance, and schedule pickup directly from local dealers.
This expansion into used cars could further disrupt the traditional car-buying model by offering a more streamlined and convenient process for consumers.
The timing of Amazon&#8217;s expansion is noteworthy as the used car market faces challenges, including declining prices. A recent analysis highlighted concerns over plummeting used car prices, which could impact demand and pricing strategies for companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Amazon.com holds a momentum rating of 70.03% and a growth rating of 5.08%, according to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/AMZN"> Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>. The Benzinga Growth metric evaluates a stock&#8217;s historical earnings and revenue expansion across multiple timeframes, prioritizing both long-term trends and recent performance.

Amazon Takes On Used Car Market, Expands Its Auto Platform To 68 Markets: Report

In the wake of escalating vandalism incidents, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) owners are calling on CEO Elon Musk to implement enhanced security features.
What Happened: Reports of Tesla vehicles being set ablaze and showrooms being defaced have surged across the United States and in countries such as France and Germany. Even minor damages like keying can cause up to $1,000 in damages, often not covered by insurance or subject to high co-pay fees. Hence, vehicle owners are demanding additional security features for protection, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/19/scared-tesla-owners-petition-elon-musk-to-help-prevent-car-attacks/">reported</a> Fortune.
Tesla owner and investor Sawyer Merritt expressed his concerns in an online forum, &#8220;I&nbsp;really hope Tesla is working&nbsp;on some sort of defensive&nbsp;measures…just something extra to make&nbsp;Tesla owners feel a little&nbsp;bit better about parking in&nbsp;public parking lots.&#8221;
Although all&nbsp;Tesla cars feature&nbsp;a Sentry Mode that records suspicious activity, it has not been effective in deterring vandalism as many individuals are oblivious to the fact that they are being recorded. Recent arson incidents in Las Vegas and an attack at a Kansas City showroom have heightened these concerns.
Despite Tesla vehicles&#8217; operating system&#8217;s ability to add new features through over-the-air updates, no such security enhancements have been introduced yet. This is amid speculations that Tesla owners are being targeted due to Musk&#8217;s controversial federal cost-cutting role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
John Stringer, President of the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley club, stated, &#8220;Within the community, there definitely is fear right now.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This plea for enhanced security comes on the heels of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44390358/elon-musk-calls-it-extreme-domestic-terrorism-after-website-publishes-data-on-us-tesla-owners">reports</a>&nbsp;that a website named &#8220;Dogequest&#8221; had published personal information of Tesla owners across the U.S. The website featured an interactive map with a Molotov cocktail cursor, and the data leak included names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla owners.&nbsp;
Elon Musk condemned the act, labeling it as &#8220;extreme domestic terrorism.&#8221; &nbsp;In Tuesday's interview on Fox News's&nbsp;Sean Hannity,&nbsp;Musk&nbsp;responded to the protests, expressing surprise at the "level of hatred&nbsp;and violence from the [political]&nbsp;left."
Also, U.S. Attorney General&nbsp;Pam Bondi called the&nbsp;ongoing vandalism against Tesla vehicle owners &nbsp;"nothing short of domestic terrorism" and vowed to impose severe penalties on offenders if apprehended. Meanwhile, CNN reported that the FBI is investigating incidents of Tesla vehicles being shot at and set on fire at a facility in Las Vegas.
On Wednesday, Tesla climbed 4.68% to close at $235.86. Over the past 30 days, the stock lost more than 33%, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Owners Call On Elon Musk For Advanced Security Features Amid Rising Vandalism: 'There Definitely Is Fear Right Now'

India&#8217;s newest airline,&nbsp;Akasa Air, is grappling with delayed plane deliveries from&nbsp;Boeing Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), leading to unrest among executives and idle pilots.
What Happened: Akasa Air, backed by the deceased billionaire investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, also known as the Warren Buffet of India, is among the most affected by Boeing&#8217;s global delivery delays. The Mumbai-based low-cost airline, in operation for three years, has 27 planes but is waiting on 226 Boeing 737 MAXs. Akasa&#8217;s executives have publicly expressed confidence in Boeing, but privately, they have acknowledged the operational stress they are under, according to a report by&nbsp;Reuters. 
Boeing&#8217;s 737 program has faced regulatory scrutiny following&nbsp;a mid-air cabin panel blowout&nbsp;last year and a seven-week workers&#8217; strike, causing delivery delays. 
In a private town hall meeting in February, Priya&nbsp;Mehra, Akasa&#8217;s&nbsp;chief of strategic acquisitions, referred to Boeing as the &#8220;elephant in the room&#8221; causing &#8220;sleepless nights&#8221;. CEO Vinay Dube expressed frustration over the lack of aircraft, stating, &#8220;We just don&#8217;t&nbsp;have enough aircraft to fly.&#8221;
Boeing&#8217;s delivery delays have also affected other airlines globally, including U.S. budget carrier Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>), which was forced to cut jobs for the first time in its history.
Boeing did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments.

Why It Matters: The delivery delays by Boeing are not a standalone issue. In April, increased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38093903/boeing-faces-production-slowdown-amid-regulatory-scrutiny-prompts-industry-ripples-and-investor-">factory inspections</a> by U.S. regulators and a slowdown on the assembly line near Seattle led to a significant decline in the production of Boeing&#8217;s 737 MAX jetliners.
Furthermore, the escalating trade war initiated by President Donald Trump could potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44346571/trade-war-may-boost-airbus-over-boeing-aercap-ceo-says-no-ones-going-to-want-to-pay-that">tip the scales</a> in favor of Boeing&#8217;s European competitor, Airbus SE. Boeing, already dealing with the repercussions of the 737 Max crisis, may encounter additional challenges due to rising costs. This situation could further exacerbate Boeing&#8217;s delivery challenges and impact its market share in the aviation industry.

While the Nasdaq remains in correction territory, data from Fidelity Investments reveals that the current downturn closely mirrors the 2022 correction. However, this expert notes that the underlying causes differ, with the Magnificent 7 stocks being the common factor driving the index lower.
What Happened: The Nasdaq indices saw one of the quickest corrections in history from the most recent 52-week high scaled on Feb. 19 to a fall of over 10% by March 6, 2025. Similarly, the S&amp;P 500 fell into the correction zone as of March 13, closing after scaling the Feb. 19 high.
According to Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, this quick correction in 2025 looked like a &#8220;repeat of the 2022 bear cycle.&#8221; A chart shared by him, titled &#8220;Anatomy of a Correction,&#8221; highlighted all the market corrections since 1900.
&#8220;At first glance, that seems odd, since 2022 was driven by rising rates and this one is driven by a repricing of the &#8216;animal spirits&#8217; playbook,&#8221; Timmer said.
He explained that the fall of Magnificent 7 stocks led to the similarity between the patterns of the two years. As rising discount rates impacted their long-duration valuations in 2022, the current pause in rate cuts was analogous to the time.
However, he believed apart from this common factor the correction was much more comparable with 2018, &#8220;when robust earnings growth was offset by contracting P/E multiples.&#8221; Timmer also said that 1998 and 1968 were similar to 2025 in terms of &#8220;speed and depth&#8221;.

Why It Matters: As of Wednesday, the Nasdaq 100 remains in correction territory, having fallen 11.19% from its prior peak. Similarly, the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 have dropped 6.70% and 7.68%, respectively, from their 52-week highs.
All the Magnificent 7 stocks have declined on a year-to-date basis in 2025. Out of them, only Meta Platforms Inc. has performed comparatively better than the benchmark indices, while the other six stocks have underperformed the benchmarks.

John Murillo, B2BROKER&#8217;s chief dealing officer, attributes the current technology stock sell-off to a confluence of factors, including the &#8220;interest rate sensitivity,&#8221; escalating &#8220;trade tensions,&#8221; and the outsized influence and weightage of these stocks within key market indices.

YouTube's ultimate showman, Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, is back at it—this time with a fresh set of mind-bending, millionaire-making challenges that are bigger, weirder, and more unhinged than ever.
What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Wednesday, MrBeast revealed that he currently has a pilot living inside a $2.5 million private jet.
If they make it 100 days without leaving, the pilot gets to keep the plane. In another challenge, he has created a full-on jail scenario, where a cop and a criminal go head-to-head in confinement.&nbsp;
Neither can leave for 100 days and whoever lasts the longest walks away with $500,000.
The third challenge is as physical as it gets: one contestant is living in a gym until they lose 100 pounds, with $500,000 hanging in the balance.
