Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is on track to become the first company to reach a $4 trillion market capitalization by &#8220;early 2025,&#8221; driven by strong iPhone sales and artificial intelligence innovations, according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives.
What Happened: The tech giant&#8217;s shares have surged nearly 40% since January, closing at $255 per share on Monday with a market cap of $3.86 trillion. This performance puts Apple ahead of rivals NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) at $3.35 trillion and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) at $3.22 trillion.
Recent supply chain checks in Asia indicate robust iPhone 16 upgrade trends heading into the Christmas season. &#8220;We believe the success of iPhone 16 with a strong holiday season ahead over the next week will be the launchpad for a renaissance of growth in Cupertino over the next 12 to 18 months,&#8221; Ives wrote in a weekend report, according <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/23/business/apple-poised-to-hit-4t-valuation-thanks-to-iphone-sales/">to</a> New York Post.
Apple&#8217;s recent iOS 18.2 update showcases its AI ambitions, introducing features like Visual Intelligence for text summarization and Image Playground for generating original images. These enhancements are exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 users.

Why It Matters: The company&#8217;s renewed focus on AI appears to be paying off. Apple reported iPhone sales of $46.22 billion in its fiscal fourth quarter, marking a 6% year-over-year increase and reversing two consecutive quarters of decline.
Despite its strong position, Apple faces industry challenges. The company&#8217;s revenue growth of 6.07% lags behind the technology hardware sector average of 21.95%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/24/12/42592861/in-depth-analysis-apple-versus-competitors-in-technology-hardware-storage-amp-peripherals-industry">according to Benzinga data</a>. However, Apple maintains superior profitability metrics, with its EBITDA of $32.5 billion significantly exceeding industry averages.
The stock&#8217;s current price-to-earnings ratio of 40.8 suggests potential undervaluation compared to industry peers, even as the company strengthens its AI capabilities through partnerships, including a recent collaboration with NVIDIA to enhance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42568204/nvidia-and-apple-team-up-to-supercharge-llms-with-redrafter-technique">large language model performance</a>.
Price Action: Apple stock closed at $255.27 on Monday, up 0.31% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged down 0.13%. Year to date, Apple shares have surged by 37.51%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Apple has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> of $242.26 from 31 analysts, with a high of $300 by Wedbush and a low of $180 by DZ Bank. The most recent ratings from Morgan Stanley, Needham, and Wedbush set an average target of $277.67, implying an 8.91% upside for the stock.

Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor, AMD, Rumble, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) is reportedly planning to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42428505/google-asks-ftc-to-kill-microsofts-monopoly-over-hosting-openai-technology-on-its-cloud-servers-report">reduce its dependence</a> on ChatGPT-maker OpenAI.
What Happened: Microsoft has been working on integrating internal and third-party artificial intelligence models into its AI product, Microsoft 365 Copilot, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the effort.
This move is a strategic step to diversify from the current underlying technology of OpenAI and reduce costs.
The Satya Nadella-led company is also decreasing 365 Copilot&#8217;s dependence on OpenAI due to concerns about cost and speed for enterprise users, the report noted, citing the sources.

A Microsoft spokesperson was quoted in the report saying that OpenAI continues to be the company&#8217;s partner on frontier models. &#8220;We incorporate various models from OpenAI and Microsoft depending on the product and experience.&#8221;
OpenAI and Microsoft did not immediately respond to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is reportedly yet to prove its return on investment to enterprises. The tech giant has not shared specific sales data on the number of licenses sold.

Why It Matters: This move mirrors those of other Microsoft business units which have altered the ways they use OpenAI models. For instance, GitHub, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35623886/microsofts-github-poised-for-growth-with-ai-tools-analyst-sees-5b-arr-potential">acquired by Microsoft</a> in 2018, added models from Anthropic and Alphabet Inc.'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>) Google in October as alternatives to OpenAI's GPT-4.
Previously it was reported that company insiders were concerned about Microsoft&#8217;s AI strategy being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37605368/is-microsoft-turning-into-it-for-openai-insiders-say-tech-giants-ai-strategy-is-overly-reliant-on-ch">heavily reliant on its partnership</a> with OpenAI.
In October, the two companies engaged in talks to decide how Microsoft's $14 billion investment in OpenAI would be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41407196/openais-for-profit-structure-adds-valuation-complexity-to-microsoft-and-other-equity-investors-repor">converted into equity</a> in the AI firm.
OpenAI plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42382569/elon-musk-asks-was-it-ever-not-a-lie-as-he-accuses-openai-of-selling-out-to-microsoft-and-betraying-its-founding-mission">remove a clause that restricts</a> Microsoft&#8217;s access to its most advanced AI models upon achieving artificial general intelligence, according to a report published in December.
Price Action: Microsoft&#8217;s stock fell 0.31% on Monday, closing at $435.25. However, year-to-date, the shares have risen by 17.36%, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

What Happened: Bitcoin remained choppy, oscillating between the $92,000-$96,000 zone.

Bitcoin's dominance fell by 1.53%, while Ethereum and altcoin saw increases in their respective market shares.
Over $278 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with nearly equal proportions of long and short liquidations.
Bitcoin's Open Interest rose 2.49% in the last 24 hours. An increase in Open Interest, coming alongside a sideways price action, indicated a potential upside move.&nbsp;
More than 66% of traders on Binance were leveraged long on Bitcoin, according to the Long/Short Ratio.
The market remained in the "Greed" zone, according to the Cryptocurrency Fear &amp; Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.32 trillion, following an increase of 2.04% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks began the holiday week high on spirits. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 66.69 points, or 0.16%, to close at 42,906.95. The S&amp;P 500 added 0.73%, ending at 5,974.07, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite spiked 0.98% to 19,764.88.

Analyst Notes: In a note to Benzinga, Arthur Azizov, CEO of cryptocurrency payment provider B2BINPAY attributed the market's ongoing correction to Bitcoin's growing dominance.
"Naturally, we can now anticipate a decline in Bitcoin's dominance, which should create room for altcoins to pick up momentum again," Azizov predicted. "Overall, this is all playing out as expected, with most assets returning to the 50% retracement zone of their recent impulse moves."
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez drew attention to Ethereum's "most significant" support level of $3,030 &#8211; $3,130 and the "most significant" resistance level of $3,640 &#8211; $3,740.
"A sustained close outside of this no-trade zone will determine the direction of ETH&#8217;s trend," Martinez remarked.

Bitcoin Flat, Ethereum, Dogecoin Spike Ahead Of Christmas: Analyst Says Decline In BTC Dominance Leaves 'Room For Altcoins To Pick Up'

On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed notable trades involving Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>).
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest made a significant move by selling 13,040 shares of Tesla Inc. through its ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE: ARKK). This transaction, valued at approximately $5.6 million, comes as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42641207/researcher-says-cancelation-of-7500-ev-tax-credit-could-impact-teslas-deliveries-despite-ceo-elon-musk-claiming-otherwise">Tesla faces potential challenges</a> related to the possible cancellation of the $7,500 EV tax credit in the U.S. Researcher Troy Teslike has highlighted that similar tax credit cancellations in Europe have previously led to a decline in Tesla&#8217;s sales. Despite these concerns, Tesla&#8217;s stock closed at $430.60, marking a 2.27% increase.
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest sold shares of the Alex Karp-led company on Monday. Palantir, which closed at $80.69, has been actively expanding its footprint in the defense sector. Ark sold 22,807 Palantir shares through the flagship ARKK ETF. The transaction was valued at $1.84 million.
The company, alongside Anduril Industries, is leading a consortium to <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">challenge traditional defense contractors</a>, according to a previous report. This move positions Palantir as a formidable player in the $850 billion U.S. military market.
The Amazon.com Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s trade activity on Amazon was also noteworthy. The firm purchased 7,499 of the e-commerce giant&#8217;s shares through Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>). The transaction was valued at nearly $1.7 million. The company&#8217;s stock, which closed at $225.06 with a slight 0.06% uptick, has been the subject of optimistic projections. An analyst with an 86% accuracy rate has predicted a 24% upside for Amazon, as detailed in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/24/12/42646865/this-analyst-with-86-accuracy-rate-sees-around-24-upside-in-amazon-com-here-are-5-stock-picks-for-last-week-from-wall-streets-most-accurate-analysts">recent analysis</a>. This forecast aligns with Ark&#8217;s strategic interests in high-growth potential stocks.

What if a pimple patch wasn't something to hide? What if it could be a fun, bold accessory? That&#8217;s precisely the concept behind Starface World, the business that turned a basic skincare item into a symbol of self-expression. Since starting in 2019, Starface has grown into a $90 million-a-year business by mixing creative ideas with strong social media skills. Here's how they did it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New Take on Acne Care</h2>
People have always tried to conceal acne, but Starface took a completely different approach. As a recent CNBC Make It video explains, founders Julie Schott and Brian Bordainick wanted to make growing up – and dealing with acne – a more positive experience. Instead of hiding blemishes, Starface's pimple patches encourage people to embrace them with pride.

<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a></li>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
</ul>
Their first product, the yellow Hydro-Star, wasn't just a skincare tool but a fashion statement. These star-shaped patches came in bright, fun packaging and even had a mascot, Big Yellow, who &#8220;came from outer space&#8221; to help people feel better about acne. Starface soon added new colors, special ingredients and even a clear patch for people who wanted something less flashy.
Starface's success lies in its branding. Everything about the company – from its products to its messaging – is designed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42533696/gen-z-is-redefining-brand-purpose">appeal to Gen Z</a> and Gen Alpha. The brand's playful tone, vibrant visuals and inclusive message have made it incredibly popular on social media. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are filled with people proudly showing off their Hydro Stars.
This unique approach has created a sense of community, as owning a Starface product is about more than skincare. The company's message is that it's okay to have acne and to have fun with it.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Hype to Profits</h2>
Starface's focus on self-expression and inclusivity resonated, especially during the pandemic. The brand gained massive traction as people spent more time on Zoom and experimented with self-care. By 2023, Starface had become profitable and sold its products at major retailers like Target, Walmart and CVS.
Today, they sell patches with extra ingredients like tea tree oil and salicylic acid. They've also expanded to Canada and the UK. Despite competing with brands like Hero Cosmetics and Alba Botanica, Starface has built a strong moat around its business by focusing on fun and individuality.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Reviews but Lasting Impact</h2>
Not everyone loves Starface patches as an acne fix. As the CNBC video showed, some customers rave about how they help heal pimples, while others see them as a fun accessory. Either way, the brand's connection with its fans and its message of confidence make it unforgettable.
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>
The market for pimple patches is booming. According to recent research from Spherical Insights, the market valuation is expected to grow from about $500 million to nearly $1 billion by 2033. This shows how much people love these products and how brands like Starface can keep developing new ideas.
With new product launches, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/24/12/42515847/check-out-what-whales-are-doing-with-ulta">partnership with Ulta</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) in 2025, Starface shows no signs of slowing down. As long as they keep innovating and staying connected to their audience, their playful and empowering approach to skincare will continue to stand out in the beauty industry.
Starface's rise reminds us of the power of unconventional thinking. Turning a basic skincare product into a lifestyle brand has shown that creativity, strong branding and social media can transform a simple idea into a thriving business.
