Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) shares are trading higher premarket today. On Friday, S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices disclosed Apollo Global Management will join the S&amp;P 500, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42375634" rel="noreferrer noopener">effective December 23, 2024.</a>

Last week, Apollo agreed to acquire a 50% stake in a 2 GW Texas solar and battery energy storage <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42315021/apollo-funds-acquire-50-stake-in-2-gw-texas-solar-and-bess-portfolio-from-totalenergies" rel="noreferrer noopener">portfolio from </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42315021/apollo-funds-acquire-50-stake-in-2-gw-texas-solar-and-bess-portfolio-from-totalenergies" rel="noreferrer noopener">TotalEnergies</a>.

Shares of banking and financial services stocks are trading higher following better-than-expected financial results from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

After securing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41175197/openais-latest-eye-popping-valuation-ignites-analyst-expectations-for-tidal-wave-of">whopping $6.6 billion funding</a> round, ChatGPT-parent&nbsp;OpenAI has bagged a&nbsp;$4 billion revolving credit line.
What Happened: The new credit facility will bolster its liquidity to $10 billion, allowing the AI startup to invest in high-cost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39856365/openai-in-talks-with-broadcom-to-develop-new-ai-chip-aims-to-reduce-reliance-on-nvidia-report">computing capacity</a> including Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips.
&#8220;This credit facility further strengthens&nbsp;our balance sheet and provides&nbsp;flexibility to seize future growth&nbsp;opportunities,&#8221; said OpenAI CFO&nbsp;Sarah Friar, in a blog on Thursday.
The credit line is facilitated by a consortium of banks: JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), Banco Santander S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAN#NYSE">SAN</a>), Wells Fargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking&nbsp;Corporation, UBS Group AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>), and HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSBC#NYSE">HSBC</a>).
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Earlier this week, OpenAI, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">valued at nearly $157 billion</a>, raised funds&nbsp;from returning venture capital investors&nbsp;such as&nbsp;Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), which has already invested approximately $13 billion into the AI firm over the last five years,&nbsp;and new investor Nvidia, also&nbsp;participated in the funding round.
Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059344/sam-altman-hits-back-at-trolls-after-mira-muratis-openai-exit-explains-executive-drain-as-natural-we">major executive changes</a>, including the sudden exit of CTO Mira Murati, investors remain optimistic about OpenAI&#8217;s growth prospects.
However, OpenAI has also faced criticism from Elon Musk, who accused the company of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41156902/elon-musk-says-openai-is-evil-after-chatgpt-parent-reportedly-asked-investors-not-to-invest-in-rival">unfair funding practices</a>.
On the other hand, analysts expect a &#8220;tidal wave&#8221; of AI spending, with OpenAI&#8217;s latest valuation seen as a trigger for this growth stage.

Spanish financial services provider Banco Santander SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAN#NYSE">SAN</a>) is reportedly nearing an agreement with Amazon.com Inc.
