Honda, Nissan Earlier Announced Talks On Potential Business Integration; Honda, Nissan: Plan to Sign Definitive Merger Agreement in June 2025

The Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black on Sunday said that a majority of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) car owners will likely not want to put their cars into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tesla-robotaxi">company&#8217;s robotaxi fleet</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;What % of Tesla owners would accept a stream of payouts from Tesla for deploying their cars in a TSLA robotaxi network to move people/luggage around every day?&#8221; Black posted on social media platform X while opining that over 50% will likely not want to rent their cars to Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi fleet.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk expects his company&#8217;s robotaxi fleet to function like a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38396288/teslas-robotaxi-to-be-called-cybercab-elon-musk-says-self-driving-fleet-will-be-like-combination-of" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">combination of Airbnb and Uber</a>. While a certain portion of the fleet will be owned by Tesla, individual customers can also add or subtract their vehicles to the robotaxi fleet at will for added earnings. As for riders, they can summon a car using the Tesla App, Musk said during the company's second-quarter earnings call in July. 
If Tesla charged $1 for every mile on a robotaxi ride and gave a 75% payout to car owners and every car had 25 trips every day with every trip being roughly 6 miles long, car owners could make roughly $40,000 per year by simply renting their car to the fleet, Black said while retaining his pessimism for users not wanting to rent their cars to the company fleet.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Black is not alone in his doubts regarding Musk&#8217;s vision for his robotaxi fleet. In August, Uber Technologies Inc. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40299293/uber-ceo-dara-khosrowshahi-doubts-teslas-robotaxi-fleet-management-plans-but-maintains-hope-for-part">expressed doubts</a> about whether a car owner is going to want his car to be ridden in by a complete stranger. Tesla drivers will also likely want their car at the time when ridership is high, creating trouble in meeting demand, he said on an episode of The Logan Bartlett Show.
Building cars and operating a taxi fleet are "very very different" businesses, the Uber CEO then noted. While running a fleet, the company has to match people with their rides, and price the rides economically while also addressing other concerns like people getting sick in a car, losing items, or getting involved in accidents, he said.
Why It Matters: Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;said during Tesla's third-quarter earnings call that the company expects to start a ride-hail service in Texas and California starting next year,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41484511/palo-alto-may-open-streets-to-tesla-robotaxis-but-california-regulators-will-decide-fate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">subject to regulatory approval</a>, with self-driving Model 3 and Model Y vehicles equipped with future versions of its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology. While FSD currently requires active driver supervision, Musk and Tesla are hopeful that it can enable autonomous driving with future updates.
However, the vehicles might not all operate as driverless robotaxis initially in California and Texas but with a driver as some states demand it until the company touches certain milestones in terms of miles and hours driven, the company then said.
Last week, Bloomberg reported that Tesla is in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42575664/tesla-reportedly-in-talks-with-austin">early discussions with authorities in the city of Austin</a>, Texas, to roll out its&nbsp;autonomous vehicles for testing&nbsp;as early as 2025.

Tesla Analyst Estimates Vehicle Owners Can Make $40,000 A Year By Renting EVs To Robotaxi Fleet That Elon Musk Likened To A Combination Of Airbnb And Uber, But Will It Take Off?

Leading Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analysts Dan Ives and Gary Black revealed stark differences in their valuation approaches during a recent &#8220;Brighter with Herbert&#8221; show appearance, even as both remain bullish on the electric vehicle maker&#8217;s prospects.
What Happened: Ives, Managing Director at Wedbush Securities, maintains the Street&#8217;s highest price target of $515 with a bull case of $650, citing potential revenues from autonomous robotaxis and the company&#8217;s Optimus robot project. He projects Tesla&#8217;s earnings at $15 per share by 2030.
&#8220;The Tesla story changes because everything we looked at with robotaxi gets accelerated,&#8221; Ives <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgFLEO4UiJ8">said</a>, estimating autonomous vehicles could capture 20% of ride-shares by decade&#8217;s end. He values Tesla&#8217;s autonomous business alone at $1 trillion.
In contrast, Black, Managing Partner at The Future Fund LLC, takes a more conservative approach with a $380 target, well above the Street average of $275. Black forecasts $17 earnings per share by 2030 but excludes robotaxi and Optimus revenue from his calculations.
&#8220;Even if I assume Tesla took 25% of ride-sharing market share, that only adds about a dollar per share in earnings,&#8221; Black explained, noting his use of higher risk adjustments in Tesla&#8217;s valuation given its volatility.

Why It Matters: The valuation debate comes as Tesla&#8217;s stock has surged nearly 71% year-to-date, recently crossing the symbolic $420 level that CEO Elon Musk referenced in his controversial 2018 &#8220;funding secured&#8221; tweet. Morgan Stanley has named Tesla its top stock pick for 2025, citing the company&#8217;s advances in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42452806/teslas-red-hot-stock-meets-meme-magic-420-level-musk-celebrates-the-prophecy-analysts-react">autonomy and robotics</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Both analysts expressed optimism about Tesla&#8217;s planned entry into the compact car segment, with Black suggesting a $25,000-$30,000 hatchback could expand Tesla&#8217;s market reach similar to how the Model Y boosted its presence in the crossover segment.
Tesla has a consensus target of $280.41 from 33 analysts, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The high is $515, and the low is $24.86. Recent ratings from Baird, Mizuho, and Goldman Sachs give an average target of $446.67, implying a 3.05% upside.
Year-to-date, the Tesla stock has gained 69.50%.

Smith &amp; Wesson Brands Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWBI#NASDAQ">SWBI</a>) faces increased legal scrutiny as Mexico&#8217;s landmark lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers reaches a critical juncture at the Supreme Court, potentially creating new liability risks for the firearms industry.
What Happened: The lawsuit, filed in 2021, alleges that Smith &amp; Wesson and other defendants enabled gun trafficking to Mexican drug cartels through their business practices. According to ATF data <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/guns-from-us-ending-up-in-mexico-60-minutes/">reviewed</a> by CBS News, an estimated 200,000 to 500,000 U.S. firearms are smuggled into Mexico annually, with 75% of confiscated weapons originating from the United States.
The case challenges traditional liability protections enjoyed by gun manufacturers under U.S. law. Mexico&#8217;s legal strategy, spearheaded by attorney Jonathan Lowy, argues that manufacturers are &#8220;aiding and abetting&#8221; gun trafficking by continuing to supply dealers with questionable sales patterns.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42640010/palantir-and-anduril-reportedly-lead-consortium-partner-with-spacex-and-openai-to-compete-against-traditional-defense-contractors-in-850-billion-us-military-market">Palantir And Anduril Reportedly Lead Consortium, Partner With SpaceX And OpenAI To Compete Against Traditional Defense Contractors In $850 Billion US Military Market</a>
Why It Matters: Smith &amp; Wesson has denied the allegations as &#8220;not true.&#8221; The firearms industry has petitioned the Supreme Court, arguing that allowing such lawsuits could subject manufacturers to costly litigation from foreign entities attempting to influence U.S. gun control policies.
The lawsuit&#8217;s scope extends beyond manufacturers to include five Arizona-based gun dealers. Internal ATF documents revealed that 566 guns recovered in Mexico over a four-and-a-half-year period were traced to these dealers, with nearly 200 coming from a single retailer near Phoenix.
Aside from the Mexico lawsuit, Smith &amp; Wesson has also faced challenging market conditions weighing on its earnings &#8211; the company attributed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40748035/smith-wesson-brands-reports-downbeat-results-joins-planet-labs-pbc-broadcom-and-other-big-stocks-mov">weaker second-quarter earnings</a> to inflationary pressures impacting consumers&#8217; spending.
Price Action: Smith &amp; Wesson Brands Inc. closed on Friday at $10.04, declining 1.47%. Over the past month, the stock has dropped 27.1%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Dow Jumps Around 500 Points But Records 3rd Straight Weekly Loss: Greed Index Moves To 'Fear' Zone

Steve Ballmer, the former Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO, has bet heavily on the tech giant, which accounts for more than 80% of his investment portfolio. The result? His approach has paid off handsomely.
What Happened: In a Q&amp;A <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/steve-ballmer-the-non-investing-guru-of-investing-b0058c11">with</a> The Wall Street Journal that was published on Sunday, Ballmer shared that over 80% of his holdings are tied to his former company, Microsoft, with the remainder invested in stock index funds.
He attributes his financial success to Microsoft&#8217;s strong performance, particularly after the AI boom sparked by Microsoft-backed OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT in November 2022.
"Microsoft's outperformed just about every other asset I could have owned," he stated, adding, "It's a little hard to say that it hasn't worked out."

Since 2020 till now, Microsoft has returned an average of 28.37% annually, significantly outperforming the S&amp;P 500's average return of around 11.08%.
When Ballmer was asked if his strategy applies to everyday investors, he said, &#8220;I'd suggest keeping it simple—unless you're truly committed to becoming an expert.&#8221;
Microsoft currently has a market capitalization of $3.346 trillion, making it the third most valuable company in the world. According to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>, Microsoft shares have risen by 17.72% year-to-date.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Ballmer&#8217;s strategy is influenced by Warren Buffett, who recommends S&amp;P 500 index funds <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41252767/warren-buffetts-timeless-advice-is-to-invest-in-stocks-that-youd-be-perfectly-happy-to-hold-if-the-m">for retail investors</a>.
Now worth $151 billion, according <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">to</a> the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Ballmer also has a significant investment in the Los Angeles Clippers, which has appreciated since his $2 billion purchase in 2014, now <a href="https://www.forbes.com/teams/los-angeles-clippers/">valued</a> at $5.5 billion.

Fund manager Stephen Yiu of Blue Whale Growth Fund has forecasted that&nbsp;Broadcom Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) will yield substantial returns for investors by 2025, potentially surpassing AI chip heavyweight&nbsp;Nvidia Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
What Happened: Yiu said that tech giants like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Google LLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) are looking to broaden their AI chip supplier base. Despite their substantial purchases of Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs, these companies are now also creating their own custom chips for AI applications, CNBC<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/23/-the-next-nvidia-broadcom-is-the-ai-chip-stock-to-own-in-2025-investor-says.html"> reported</a> on Monday.
Yiu sees Broadcom as&nbsp;the next Nvidia in terms&nbsp;of potential outperformance, thanks to its strong partnerships with major tech firms. 
&#8220;Nvidia's&nbsp;GPUs are very powerful, but&nbsp;at the same time also&nbsp;very expensive,&#8221; Yiu noted. &#8220;From&nbsp;Microsoft's perspective, you don't want&nbsp;to become overly dependent on&nbsp;one single supplier.&#8221;

Broadcom&#8217;s year to date returns have climbed 103.42% this year, as of Monday pre-market hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. It hit a market cap of over $1 trillion after announcing that its AI revenue&nbsp;tripled to $12.2 billion in&nbsp;2024. The company is working&nbsp;with three major cloud computing&nbsp;customers, Meta, Alphabet, and ByteDance, to develop custom AI chips.
Despite still holding an investment in Nvidia, Yiu has significantly cut it from nearly 10% of his fund's portfolio. He views Broadcom as a more attractive investment opportunity due to its smaller size. 
&#8220;For&nbsp;a $1 trillion company to&nbsp;grow 50% to become $1.5&nbsp;trillion is reasonable. But for&nbsp;Nvidia to do that, they&nbsp;would need to add another&nbsp;$1.5 trillion, which is a&nbsp;very big number,&#8221; he elaborated.
Why It Matters: Broadcom&#8217;s CEO Hock Tan has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42613368/broadcom-expects-decade-long-ai-chip-boom-as-big-tech-invest-billions">expressed strong confidence</a> in the sustainability of the AI boom. Big tech companies like Google, Meta, and ByteDance are investing heavily in designing custom processors to accelerate the training and deployment of AI systems. Even OpenAI and Apple have partnered with Broadcom to develop their AI server chips, diversifying their exposure to Nvidia.
Kurv Investment Management&#8217;s CEO Howard Chan recently mentioned that chipmakers like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42600155/exclusive-nvidia-broadcom-tipped-to-dominate-ai-compute-wave-by-kurv-ceo">Nvidia and Broadcom </a>are leading the AI wave. He noted that demand is outstripping supply in this sector, benefiting chipmakers and cloud computing service providers.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), known for her active stock market investments as a member of Congress, disclosed in June that she had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40692177/whats-going-on-with-broadcom-shares-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquired call options on Broadcom. </a>These options, adjusted to a strike price of $80 after a 10-for-1 stock split, are set to expire in June 2025.
Pelosi, a widely followed Congressional trader, has drawn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40692177/whats-going-on-with-broadcom-shares-today">significant attention to her stock holdings,</a> inspiring dedicated Pelosi portfolio trackers.
