To commemorate his first 100 days back in office, President Donald Trump will host more than two dozen top executives and CEO&#8217;s at the White House this week to highlight a range of investments from some of the biggest companies in the world.
What Happened: Leaders from NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>), Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), and SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) are expected to be present at the "Investing in America" event on Wednesday, according to White House officials who spoke to Reuters. 
Trump intends to showcase recent investments in sectors like healthcare, defense, artificial intelligence, and consumer goods.
In January, Trump announced a private-sector pledge of up to $500 billion toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43400191/openais-100-billion-texas-stargate-data-center-will-reportedly-employ-just-57-people-with-57600-annual-salaries">AI infrastructure</a> with support from OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle.

Why It Matters: The event comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44970516/boeing-adjusts-strategy-amid-trump-tariff-fallout-ceo-kelly-ortberg-says-wont-build-aircraft-for-customers-who-will-not-take-them-as-china-halts-deliveries">rising concerns </a>from industries dealing with tariff-induced disturbances. While Trump repeatedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811525/trump-hypes-500b-nvidia-investment-in-us-ai-supercomputers-golden-age-of-america-begins">called on global companies</a> to expand U.S. operations, automakers and manufacturers have expressed concerns over policy clarity and regulatory consistency. 
"I need clarity, and then I need consistency," said GM CEO Mary Barra last week, according to Reuters.
Despite the ambiguity, recent investments —like <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/more-investment-more-jobs-and-more-money-in-americans-pockets/">Hyundai's $21 billion U.S. commitment</a> and a new $5.8 billion steel plant in Louisiana — are being presented as proof of economic optimism. 
According to Reuters, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, "Trillions in historic investment commitments since President Trump was elected from industry leaders including TSMC, Apple, and Roche demonstrate resounding confidence in the U.S. economy and dollar under this administration."
Still, with many companies waiting for more definitive trade policies before planning expansions, Trump's pitch this week will show how far investor confidence can hold amid the changing landscape.

Why Leggett & Platt Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 15%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Aurora Mobile's Subsidiary SendCloud Partners With Chinese Cross-Border B2B Marketplace DHgate To Boost Customer Communication

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) said that the company expects the first units of the Semi to enter production by the end of the year.
What Happened: Dan Priestley, the head of Tesla's Semi Program, said that the Giga factory in Nevada can produce 50,000 units annually, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
"First units are set to be on the line by the end of this year, and we&#8217;ll be ramping the factory throughout 2026," he said in the report.
Why It Matters: News of the Semi production comes in as Tesla's plans to scale the truck's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831422/donald-trumps-145-tariffs-on-china-could-disrupt-teslas-cybercab-semi-production-report">production were disrupted</a> by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on China.
Elon Musk's EV giant was ready to ‘absorb' the costs of the imports when tariffs were at 34%, but the plan has since become unfeasible due to the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods.
The company has also committed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38936949/tesla-semi-fleet-grows-as-pepsico-takes-delivery-of-another-50-ev-trucks">delivering Semi trucks</a> to PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>). Tesla had previously delivered over 50 EV Semi Trucks to PepsiCo last year.
Elsewhere, Musk has reiterated that the company is on track to release its robotaxi, a ride-hailing service that utilizes Tesla's FSD technology, in June. The company has already begun services in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44972108/tesla-quietly-launched-robotaxi-service-for-employees-before-june-debut-now-reports-1500-completed-trips">a limited rollout r</a>estricted to company employees in Austin and the San Francisco Bay Area, and has already completed 1,500 trips.

Tesla's First Batch Of Semi Trucks To Roll Out From Nevada Plant By Late 2025, Despite Disruption From Trump's 145% Tariffs

Smithfield Foods Posts Q1 Revenue Increase Of  9.5% To $3.77B And An Adjusted EPS Of $0.58

Soft drinks giant, Coca-Cola Co.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) playbook for global scale and distribution is back in focus amid growing geopolitical uncertainties. 
What Happened: Last week, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) analysts raised their price target for Coca-Cola Co. to $78 per share by the end of 2025, up from $74 previously, citing the company&#8217;s resilience amid growing tensions and uncertainties surrounding tariffs. The move came ahead of Coca-Cola's first-quarter earnings report.
The analysts, led by Andrea Teixeira, maintained their &#8220;Overweight&#8221; rating on the stock, highlighting the company's strong defensive qualities and describing it as a &#8220;port in a storm,&#8221; according <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/21/jpmorgan-says-coca-cola-is-a-port-in-a-storm-as-staple-outperforms-market.html">to</a> a report by CNBC.

According to Teixeira, Coca-Cola's broad geographic reach, with the U.S. accounting for just 17% of its total volumes, helps the company offset slowdowns in some regions with stronger-than-expected performance in others.
While she acknowledged that Coca-Cola is not completely immune to tariffs or a potential global economic slowdown, she argued the company is &#8220;relatively more defensive&#8221; due to its strong organic sales growth. She also noted that the direct impact of tariffs is largely limited to the juice, which is sourced both locally and internationally.
Teixeira notes that the 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum will have an impact if the company&#8217;s bottlers offset the cost by passing it on to the consumers. &#8220;The company helps bottlers manage through the impacts through its cross-enterprise procurement team, and also can <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/02/43759161/coca-cola-warns-trumps-tariffs-could-force-it-to-use-more-plastic-if-aluminium-cans-become-more-expensive-we-can-shift-to-pet">emphasize different package types</a> if there is cost pressure on aluminum,&#8221; she adds.
Why It Matters: Coca-Cola&#8217;s resilience to geopolitical uncertainties has been built over several decades of careful supply-chain and distribution planning, which involves working with several local bottling partners in each country it operates in. 
Early this year, the company&#8217;s CEO, James Quincey, said, &#8220;we are predominantly a local business when it comes to making each of the beverages.&#8221; 
&#8220;The vast majority of everything that&#8217;s consumed in the U.S. is made in the U.S. Similarly, we&#8217;re in virtually every country around the world. And so while it&#8217;s a global business, it&#8217;s very local,&#8221; he added, while speaking with analysts during the company&#8217;s fourth quarter earnings release.
Just last week, it was reported that the company is <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44892858/coca-cola-escapes-new-tariff-costs-with-us-based-production-while-pepsicos-irish-supply-faces-10-levy">escaping the tariffs</a> imposed by President Donald Trump, since all of its concentrates are made within the United States. This was in sharp contrast to PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), which imports a bulk of its concentrates from Ireland, which is now subject to 10% tariffs.
Price Action: The company&#8217;s stock was down 0.17% on Monday, and is down 0.13% in after-hours trading, ahead of the company&#8217;s first quarter earnings on Tuesday.

Coca-Cola&#8217;s stock shows strong momentum, but scores weak on growth quality and value. It does, however, show strong price trends in the short, medium, and long terms.

Coca-Cola's 200-Country Playbook Gets A Thumbs-Up From JPMorgan Analysts Amid Trump Tariffs

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the &#8220;Godfather of AI,&#8221; has joined a growing chorus of experts and former employees urging regulators to block OpenAI's controversial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41038183/openais-restructure-from-non-profit-to-potential-150b-for-profit-sam-altman-could-get-equity">restructuring plans</a>.
What Happened: On Monday, Hinton took to X, formerly Twitter, expressing support for efforts to halt OpenAI's transition to a more profit-driven structure. 
"I like OpenAI's mission of ‘ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity,' and I'd like to stop them from completely gutting it," he wrote.

Why It's Important: OpenAI, which created ChatGPT, remains a leading force in artificial intelligence development.

OpenAI maintains that its nonprofit will remain intact and likened its new structure to public benefit corporations like Anthropic.

S&P 500 Gains For 5th Session: Investor Fear Eases, But Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

In a move that could potentially disrupt Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales model, Democratic lawmakers in New York are pushing to end the automaker&#8217;s direct sales exemption. This comes as a response to CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s support for the Trump administration.
What Happened: State Senator Patricia Fahy, a co-sponsor of a bill currently in the state legislature, is questioning Tesla&#8217;s unique exemption from the 2014 ban on automakers selling directly to customers. Fahy asked, &#8220;Why should we give them a monopoly?&#8221;
Fahy also criticized Musk&#8217;s association with an administration that she claims is &#8220;killing all the grant funding&nbsp;for electric vehicle infrastructure, killing&nbsp;wind energy, killing anything that&nbsp;might address climate change.&#8221; The proposed bill stems from the tense relationship between the Democratic Party and Musk under the Biden administration.
New York Democrats are pushing for an audit of a deal that gave Musk's company nearly $1 billion in benefits for a Buffalo plant, with a bill that could enable the state to reclaim the subsidies. Officials also want pension funds to divest from Tesla.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
If the bill is approved, Tesla customers in New York may need to travel out of state to receive their cars, reported Fortune. This could significantly impact Tesla, especially as the company faces growing competition from rivals like Rivian (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>), Lucid (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>), and Volkswagen&#8217;s upcoming Scout.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Tesla&#8217;s right to sell cars directly is also under challenge in several other states, including Washington, Florida, Colorado, Illinois, South Carolina, and Rhode Island.
This development comes on the heels of Tesla&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44978897/tesla-earnings-miss-but-musk-refocuses-and-bulls-react">earnings </a>miss. Despite missing both revenue and earnings expectations, the market response was surprisingly positive, with Tesla&#8217;s stock opening higher the following day. Investors reacted positively to Musk&#8217;s promise of dedicating more time to his company than to DOGE.
However, Tesla has been facing challenges on other fronts. The automaker&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43765071/teslas-california-sales-hit-four-year-low-amid-political-concerns-researcher-says-left-leaning-customers-are-turning-away-from-ev-giant"> sales in California</a> hit a four-year low, with left-leaning customers reportedly turning away due to Musk&#8217;s political actions. If the proposed New York bill passes, it could further complicate Tesla&#8217;s sales strategy and impact its market position.
Meanwhile, State Senator Jacob Ashby, a Republican from Colonie, criticized Ms. Fahy's bill as misguided, stating that "government should not be picking winners and losers on this."
Tesla holds a momentum rating of 92.80% and a quality rating of 94.16%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

New York Democrats Propose Bill To End Tesla's Direct-To-Customer Sales Model: 'Why Should We Give Them A Monopoly'

Economist Jeffrey Sachs compared President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff logic to blaming shopkeepers for a maxed-out credit card.
What Happened: Arguing at Turkey's Antalya Diplomacy Forum, Sachs said, &#8220;If you take your credit card and you go shopping and you run up a large credit card debt, you're running a trade deficit with all those shops. Now, it would be pretty strange if you then blamed all the shop owners for having sold you all those things.&#8221;
Sachs added that the United States "is outspending its national income," not being "cheated" by trading partners. The Columbia professor's quip lands as Trump's new duties, some as high as 145 percent, roil markets and stoke fears of higher consumer prices.

Sachs told delegates that a trade deficit reflects domestic overspending, not foreign perfidy: "It would be pretty strange if you blamed all the shop owners for having sold you things." He mocked Trump's grasp of macroeconomics, saying the former president "never made it to the second day" of an international-finance course where such identities are taught.
Why It Matters: Investors are already bracing for sticker shock as tariffs bite. Surveys this week found that a majority of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45027881/trumps-approval-plummets-as-tariffs-bite-americans-expect-skyrocketing-prices-and-shrinking-wallets">Americans expect prices</a> to "skyrocket" if Trump's trade war deepens.​ That said, analysts note the White House has twice eased duties after spikes in Treasury yields signaled market stress.​ Cathie Wood likewise called the levies "tax increases that hurt growth," though she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45000154/cathie-wood-warns-trumps-tariffs-are-tax-increases-that-hurt-growth-but-says-innovation-will-thrive-in-the-turmoil">predicted</a> Trump ultimately wants all barriers negotiated down.

Earnings Scheduled For April 29, 2025

Tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya highlighted the rising dominance of stablecoins in the global financial system Tuesday, deeming them one of the hottest cryptocurrency narratives besides Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: As part of his deep dive into the stablecoin market, Palihapitiya noted that stablecoins&#8217; weekly transaction volumes have exceeded that of Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>).
These findings were corroborated by a recent report by asset management firm Bitwise, which <a href="https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/static.bitwiseinvestments.com/Research/Bitwise-Crypto-Market-Review-Q1-2025.pdf">showed </a>stablecoin transaction volumes overtaking the payments giant by 2024. In 2020, stablecoin volumes were 11% of total VISA volumes.
The dominance led Palihapitiya to call dollar-backed stablecoins, including Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), the &#8220;second killer app&#8221; in the cryptocurrency space, next to Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: The rise of dollar-backed stablecoins has been a hot topic in the cryptocurrency world.

Chamath Palihapitiya Says Stablecoins Are Crypto's 'Second Killer App' After Bitcoin, As Volumes Surpass Visa

Uber Technologies Inc. is rescinding remote work privileges and making in-office attendance mandatory, following months of other tech giants issuing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44971069/google-to-remote-workers-return-to-office-3-days-a-week-or-take-a-buyout-report">similar directives</a>. The new development was announced internally on Monday and is part of a company-wide push to modify operations under CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
What Happened: From June, Uber employees will have to work from the office three days a week. Currently, only two days are mandatory. This rule will be applicable for workers who had previously been granted remote status. In a memo viewed <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/uber-raises-in-office-requirement-to-3-days-claws-back-remote-workers.html">by</a> CNBC, Khosrowshahi said, "I want to emphasize that ‘good' is not going to be good enough — we need to be great." 
Tuesday through Thursday have been designated as mandatory in-office days. The company is also phasing out most new fully remote recruits and reconsidering work-from-home arrangements it had granted earlier.
