A subsidiary of Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPNGF#OTC">XPNGF</a>), a Chinese electric vehicle maker and Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival, plans to become the world&#8217;s first mass producer of <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/03/44111960/xpeng-options-trading-a-deep-dive-into-market-sentiment">flying cars by 2026</a>.
What Happened: Xpeng Aeroht&#8217;s &#8220;land aircraft carrier&#8221; — a modular vehicle featuring a passenger drone that unfolds from a six-wheeled van — completed its first public flight at the November Zhuhai Airshow and has reportedly secured approximately 3,000 intended orders, <a href="https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/mass-production-of-flying-cars-in-sight-amid-chinas-low-altitude-economy-push">reported</a> The Straits Times.
&#8220;In 2026, Xpeng plans to mass produce, for the first time, our modular flying car,&#8221; Xpeng Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said on Friday. The company broke ground in October on a factory designed to produce 10,000 flying cars annually when completed in the first quarter of 2026.
Priced at no more than 2 million yuan ($275,000), the vehicle accommodates four passengers in the car portion and two in the detachable drone. Initial applications will likely focus on tourism and short-haul rescue missions rather than everyday transportation.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s government has prioritized the &#8220;low-altitude economy&#8221; — economic activity below 1,000 meters — labeling it a &#8220;new growth engine&#8221; in its 2024 annual work report. The sector, projected to reach one trillion yuan ($138 billion) by 2025, encompasses drone deliveries, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41551820/flying-taxis-are-almost-here-joby-archer-aviation-applaud-new-faa-regulations-for-evtol-aircraft">air shuttles, and flying taxis</a>.
Regulatory hurdles remain the primary challenge. He Xiaopeng cited concerns about vehicle certification, takeoff regulations, and pilot licensing requirements. &#8220;Right now, I see many problems,&#8221; he acknowledged.
Xpeng&#8217;s ADR stock on NYSE rose 6.16% to $23.60 in Friday&#8217;s trading, though analysts maintain an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XPEV/analyst-ratings">average price target</a> of $17.44, suggesting a potential 37.04% downside ahead of the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings report due Mar. 18.

Price Action: Xpeng traded at 88.85 HKD ($11.43) on the Hong Kong Exchange as of Monday at 1:21 PM local time, down 1.28% for the day.

Earlier this month, top executives from South Korea&#8217;s shipbuilding conglomerate Hyundai Heavy Industries Group and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) met to push forward AI-driven shipyard innovation and future defense capabilities.
What Happened: HD Hyundai executive vice Chairman Chung Kisun visited Washington, D.C., to meet with Palantir CEO Alex Karp and discuss the companies&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/09/28943372/palantir-hyundai-consolidate-partnership-expanding-into-shipbuilding">ongoing collaboration on building</a> an AI-powered shipyard.
The two leaders reviewed the progress of their &#8220;Future of Shipyard&#8221; (FOS) initiative, launched in 2021, and explored potential defense-related applications of artificial intelligence.
According to HD Hyundai, the companies agreed that AI-based defense solutions could play a pivotal role in national security strategies for both South Korea and the U.S.&nbsp;
Chung's visit comes as part of his U.S. tour to attend CERA Week, the major global energy conference taking place in Houston from March 10–14.

Why It's Important: The FOS project aims to complete the construction of an intelligent, autonomous shipyard by 2030, targeting a 30% boost in productivity and a 30% reduction in construction time.
In addition, the companies are co-developing an unmanned surface vessel (USV) named &#8220;TENEBRIS,&#8221; and collaborating through HD Hyundai Infracore.
This deepening partnership comes at a time of strong momentum for Palantir. Last month, the company reported <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43449486/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-us-revenue-up-52-customer-count-up-43-strong-guidance-this-is-a-new-phase-unlike-anything-that-has-come-before">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $827.52 million, beating analyst expectations of $775.91 million.&nbsp;
With this, Palantir has topped analyst projections for six consecutive quarters, with U.S. revenue rising 52% year-over-year. Its U.S. commercial business surged 64%, while government revenue increased 45%.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, VOA <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/trump-pledges-to-resurrect-shipbuilding-as-china-seen-outpacing-us-/8004070.html">reported</a> that the U.S. Navy's fleet is shrinking despite efforts to expand, with more ships being decommissioned than built. Meanwhile, China's fleet is rapidly growing.
Major shipbuilders like BAE Systems and Huntington Ingalls Industries are operating below capacity due to inconsistent Navy contracts and budget delays. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has vowed to create a new White House office to boost U.S. military and commercial shipbuilding.
Price Action: Palantir shares closed 5.52% higher at $84.90 on Friday but dipped 0.098% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp Meets Hyundai Vice Chair to Enhance AI Shipyard, Defense Collaboration Amid Trump's Call for US Shipbuilding Revival

On Sunday, Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) services chief Eddy Cue shared insights into Apple TV+'s selective content strategy while praising the global success of &#8220;Severance," calling it one of the most culturally impactful shows of recent years.
What Happened: During a panel at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, Cue joined actor-director Ben Stiller for a wide-ranging discussion on the breakout success of Severance and Apple TV+'s content approach.
"It's been a long time since we've seen a show capture the imagination like this," Cue said of Severance, which Apple says is now its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43855319/apple-stock-set-for-streaming-lift-severance-breaks-record-after-x-ads-tim-cook-promo">most-watched series ever</a> on the platform.
Despite having early access to episodes, Cue admitted he still waits for each weekly drop: "I tend to wait… I just love the storytelling."
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44133360/apple-challenges-uks-backdoor-order-in-landmark-legal-case-after-trump-compares-directive-to-china-style-surveillance-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Challenges UK's ‘Backdoor' Order In Landmark Legal Case After Trump Compares Directive To China-Style Surveillance: Report</a>
Cue emphasized Apple TV+'s strategy of focusing on quality over quantity. "We're not going to throw 20 shows up against the wall and hope that one sticks," he said. "The ones that we do — they all need to stick. Otherwise, we have nothing else."

Why It's Important: Cue's remarks highlight Apple's continued focus on prestige programming in a crowded streaming landscape.
Rather than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming">emulate rivals like</a> Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) with a high-volume output, as Cue highlighted, Apple TV+ plans to carve out a niche with select, critically acclaimed titles.
Severance, created by Dan Erickson and directed by Stiller, explores a dystopian workplace where employees are surgically separated from their personal lives.
With appearances by Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, and Christopher Walken, Severance is shaping up to be Apple TV+'s flagship franchise.
Now in its second season, the series has earned critical acclaim and a cult following. Apple has already confirmed a third season is in development.
Unlike Netflix shows that drop all episodes at once for binge-watching, &#8220;Severance&#8221; follows a weekly release schedule, with its season 2 finale set for March 21.
Apple&#8217;s streaming service costs $9.99 per month, making it one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/40014040/apple-to-follow-netflix-disney-ad-supported-appletv-streaming-plan-could-launch-soon">more affordable ad-free options</a> available.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock ended Friday at $239.07, gaining 1.59%. It later slipped 0.15% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Eddy Cue Praises 'Severance' For Breaking Through The Noise Globally, Says Apple TV+ Isn't Going To Throw 20 Shows On The Wall Hoping One Will Stick

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 200 points during the session. However, the index recorded losses last week.
The S&amp;P 500 recorded its worst week since September, falling 3.1% last week. The Dow declined 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 3.5% during the week.
On the economic data front, the February jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, released Friday, showed a moderate increase in employment and also a slight increase in the unemployment rate.
The U.S. economy added 151,000 jobs in February, up from a downwardly revised 125,000 in January, but below expectations of 160,000, as tracked by Trading Economics. The unemployment rate ticked unexpectedly higher to 4.1%, above the 4.0% expected.
Genesco Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCO#NYSE">GCO</a>) shares dipped over 16% on Friday after the company reported worse-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results. American Public Education Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APEI#NASDAQ">APEI</a>) shares surged 22% after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly financial results.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with utilities, information technology and energy stocks recording the biggest gains on Friday. However, consumer staples and financial stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 223 points to 42,801.72 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.55% to 5,770.20, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.70% at 18,196.22 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 20.5, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 17.8.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. 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 Gains Over 200 Points But Records Weekly Loss: Fear Among Investors Eases But Greed Index Remains In 'Extreme Fear' Zone

Spanish banking heavyweight Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBA#NYSE">BBA</a>), better known as&nbsp;BBVA, said Monday it secured regulatory consent to launch trading services for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) in the country.
What Happened: BBVA received approval from Spain&#8217;s&nbsp;securities regulator, Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, to offer trading services for the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, a Reuters report said. The bank, the second-largest in Spain after Banco Santander, is gearing up to introduce&nbsp;a service that will allow&nbsp;its customers to purchase, sell, and manage transactions securely via its app.
This move by BBVA comes on the heels of similar initiatives by other European banks. Earlier this year, Italy's largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, made a foray into the cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42994641/italys-largest-bank-leaps-into-bitcoin-trading-with-1-million-test-investment-but-ceo-says-he-doesnt-invest-in-btc-personally">market with a $1 million &#8216;test&#8217; investment</a> in Bitcoin.
Price Action: Shares of BBVA closed 2.09% higher at $14.15 during Friday&#8217;s regular session, 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>.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) will join the S&amp;P 100 index, S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices announced Friday, as the data analytics firm continues its remarkable post-election rally.

Palantir Joins S&P 100 After AI-Driven Rally, Stock Surges Almost 60% Since Trump Victory

The cryptocurrency market capped last week on a sour note after Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) crashed to $80,000 on Sunday evening. While the broader market crashed, investors sought refuge in gold-backed coins.&nbsp;
What happened: Bitcoin Cash topped the gainers' list, returning nearly 11% to its holders in a week where blue-chip coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) fell 10% and 15%, respectively.
Bitcoin Cash is a result of a hard fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain in 2017 and is considered an affordable alternative to the apex cryptocurrency.
Physical gold-backed cryptocurrencies such as Tether Gold and PAX Gold were among the safe bets amid the downturn, yielding 2% and 1.70%, respectively.

Elsewhere, the sentiment was grim. The altcoins set to be part of a U.S. cryptocurrency reserve, namely XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), tumbled 5.76%, 7.45%, and 7.79%, respectively.&nbsp;
Meme heavyweights Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) plunged 9% and 2.94%, respectively, while frog-themed Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) tanked 8%.
Overall, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization contracted 12% over the week to $2.70 trillion.&nbsp;
Interestingly, all of this occurred in the week that President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and hosted the first-ever <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44208906/trump-declares-us-the-bitcoin-superpower-at-historic-white-house-crypto-summit-with-top-industry-executives">Crypto Summit at the White House</a>.
