Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood has been a proponent of space industry growth and she may have found her new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/space-stocks">favorite stock.</a>
What Happened: Two Ark Invest ETFs added small positions in Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>) to their portfolios on Wednesday, as the space stock soared over the past year and could gain more support with recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42647377/intuitive-machines-stock-is-moving-higher-monday-whats-going-on">NASA contract wins.</a>
The stock was added to the Ark Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) with 267,642 shares <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/">purchased</a>. This represents 0.52% of the ETF and the 35th largest position at the time of writing.
To make way for the addition, Ark sold shares of Rocket Lab USA Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>), another high-performing 2024 space stock. Rocket Lab is currently the fourth-largest position in the ETF at 5.59% of assets, trailing only Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), 15.44%; Kratos Defense &amp; Security Solutions (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTOS#NASDAQ">KTOS</a>), 10.07% and Teradyne Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>), 9.03%.
The stock was also added to the Ark Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>) with 160,178 shares purchased. This represents 1.04% of the ETF and the 27th largest position at the time of writing.
To make way for this addition, Ark sold shares of Kratos and Rocket Lab. Kratos is the largest holding in the ETF at 10.20% followed by Rocket Lab at 8.99%.
Both of the purchases, which were reported in overnight trading activity emails, are the total amount of shares owned as of Thursday. This means these were the first purchases by both ETFs. Investors will be closely following to see if Wood adds to the Intuitive Machines positions.

Why It's Important: Intuitive Machines stock is up over 600% in the past year. The company had one of the biggest headlines in February 2024 as Intuitive Machines had the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/02/37276634/intuitive-machines-built-odysseus-achieves-first-us-soft-landing-on-moon-since-1972-nasa-chief-says"> first private spacecraft</a> land on the moon and the first U.S. soft landing on the surface since 1972.
Optimism for space stocks like Intuitive Machines carries into 2025 with the company announcing several NASA contract awards in December.
Intuitive Machines is also preparing to head back to the moon with a launch targeted for late February.
A recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42828631/exclusive-rocket-lab-intuitive-machines-redwire-or-ast-spacemobile-33-of-readers-pick-this-space-stock-for-2025">Benzinga reader poll </a>asked which space stock they would most likely invest in for 2025. Rocket Lab won the poll with 33%. Intuitive Machines ranked second among the four stocks at 24%, while 26% said they wouldn't invest in space stocks in 2025.
The other item to watch is how high up the top holdings list Intuitive Machines is for the Ark Space Exploration ETF.
The Procure Space ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFO#NASDAQ">UFO</a>) has been holding the stock for some time and Intuitive Machines is currently the top holding at 7.81%.

Cathie Wood Adds New Space Stock To 2 ETFs: Company Went To Moon, Will Investment Returns Follow?

Elon Musk walked back his ambitious federal budget-cutting plans last week, telling investors that slashing $2 trillion from government spending would be a &#8220;best-case outcome&#8221; for his upcoming role in the Trump administration.
&#8220;I think if we try for $2 trillion, we&#8217;ve got a good shot at getting one,&#8221; Musk said to political strategist and Stagwell Inc. chairman Mark Penn during an interview on X, formerly Twitter. The tech billionaire will colead<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42871802/doge-co-lead-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-reportedly-on-a-hiring-spree-for-full-timers"> Trump&#8217;s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) </a>alongside former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

The reduced target undercuts Musk&#8217;s October stance at Trump&#8217;s Madison Square Garden rally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41704205/elon-musk-says-we-can-cut-2-trillion-out-of-the-harris-biden-budget-and-that-americans-money-is-bein">where he promised to cut &#8220;at least $2 trillion&#8221; from federal spending</a>. Budget experts immediately questioned the math behind such deep reductions, given current spending levels.
Federal expenditures reached $6.75 trillion in fiscal year 2024, with $5.3 trillion allocated to Social Security, health care, defense, veterans&#8217; benefits and debt interest, according to a report issued by Bloomberg. Trump repeatedly promised voters he would not touch Social Security or Medicare during his campaign.
When Penn pressed for specifics on potential cuts, Musk described the government as a &#8220;very target-rich environment for saving money&#8221; but offered no concrete plans. &#8220;It&#8217;s like being in a room full of targets, like you could close your eyes and you can&#8217;t miss,&#8221; he said.

Previous attempts to dramatically reduce federal spending have stalled in Congress. Sen. Rand Paul&#8217;s recent proposal to cut six cents from every projected spending dollar over five years failed to gain traction, even with Republican majorities in both chambers.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of us out here who are skeptical that they&#8217;re really going to be able to come in out of nowhere and figure out all these savings that nobody else has been able to figure out all these years,&#8221; Philip Wallach, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, told Newsweek.
Musk pitched his revised goal as an &#8220;epic outcome&#8221; if achieved. &#8220;If we can get, drop the budget deficit from $2 trillion to $1 trillion and kind of free up the economy to have additional growth such that the output of goods and services keeps pace with the increase in the money supply, then there will be no inflation,&#8221; he said.

The timing of Musk&#8217;s tempered expectations mirrors other campaign promises meeting reality. Trump recently extended his timeline for brokering peace between Ukraine and Russia from his first day to six months in office.
Congressional Republicans have begun meeting with Trump to map out his legislative agenda, including tax cuts and immigration reform. However, lawmakers have yet to reach consensus on moving the initiatives forward.
Musk and Ramaswamy take their positions leading the efficiency department when Trump returns to the White House on January 20.

$1000 Invested In EMCOR Group 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report, released Thursday, highlights a fragile outlook as inflation, trade disruptions, geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainty weigh on momentum.
The global economy is expected to stay stuck at 2.7% growth in 2025-&#8217;26, a pace too weak to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">drive real economic progress.</a>
Emerging markets, which power 60% of global expansion, are no longer closing the gap with advanced economies as quickly as they once did. 
Yet, some are bucking the trend, with a few poised to grow above 5%, offering rare opportunities for investors in an otherwise sluggish environment.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Argentina's Rebound Under Milei's Reforms</h1>
Argentina's economy is staging a comeback, with GDP expected to expand 5% in 2025 and 4.7% in 2026. This sharp rebound follows two years of contraction, driven by a steep currency devaluation and trade imbalances.
"Argentina has seen significant improvements in activity in commodity-related sectors, including agriculture, energy and mining," the World Bank said in its report. The country's trade surplus has also grown, helped by a sharp drop in imports following the peso's depreciation.
President Javier Milei's sweeping economic reforms — focused on slashing government spending, deregulating industries, and stabilizing inflation — are beginning to take hold.
Investor confidence is returning, fueling a 78% surge in the Global X Argentina ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>) over the past year. 
The fund has already attracted more than $700 million in inflows since mid-January 2024.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Indonesia: Stable Growth At 5.1%</h1>
Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, is expected to grow 5.1% in 2025, supported by strong domestic consumption and exports of palm oil, coal, and other commodities.
Despite solid economic growth, the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EIDO#NYSE">EIDO</a>) has struggled, posting a 14% decline over the past year. 
This weakness reflects concerns over global commodity demand and capital outflows from emerging markets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Philippines: A 6.1% Expansion Fueled By Services</h1>
The Philippines is on track for 6.1% GDP growth in 2025, according to the World Bank. This growth is fueled by its booming services sector, particularly business process outsourcing and remittances from overseas workers. 
Government-backed infrastructure spending is also providing a lift.
Yet, the iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPHE#NYSE">EPHE</a>) has underperformed, slipping 4.6% in the past year. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Vietnam's Manufacturing Strength</h1>
Vietnam is expected to be one of the fastest-growing economies in 2025, with a projected 6.6% expansion. 
"Vietnam's growth spell was both transformative and inclusive," the World Bank said, noting the country ranks among the top emerging markets in achieving sustainable development goals.
The manufacturing sector remains the backbone of Vietnam's economy, benefiting from foreign direct investment and a shift in global supply chains away from China. 
However, the VanEck Vietnam ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNM#NYSE">VNM</a>) has struggled, dropping 11% over the past year, reflecting broader volatility in emerging markets and China&#8217;s economic slowdown.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">India: The Growth Powerhouse</h1>
India, the world's fastest-growing major economy, is expected to expand 6.7% in 2025. Though slower than the 8.2% growth recorded in 2023, the country's economic engine remains strong, powered by resilient consumer spending and steady services activity.
Higher inflation and slower credit expansion have dampened urban consumption, but long-term fundamentals remain intact. 
The iShares MSCI India ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INDA#BATS">INDA</a>) gained 4% over the past year, outperforming many other emerging market funds.
Investors continue to back India's growth story, with over $800 million of inflows over the past year.

Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow).

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares traded lower Thursday following a report that its iPhone sales in China dropped <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43021026/apple-stock-has-moved-up-4-2-since-iphone-16-launched-analyst-says-it-has-another-8-upside-as-manufacturing-cost-decline-bolsters-cupertinos-margins">significantly in 2024. </a>
What To Know: Data from research firm Canalys revealed a 17% annual decline in Apple&#8217;s shipments in the country, its largest-ever sales drop in the market. The contraction included a 25% plunge in the fourth quarter alone according to Reuters
Apple was overtaken by Chinese smartphone makers Vivo and Huawei, which captured 17% and 16% market shares, respectively, compared to Apple&#8217;s 15%. The data potentially underscored growing challenges for Apple, including Huawei&#8217;s resurgence with locally-made chipsets and the increasing popularity of domestic brands offering foldable and AI-capable smartphones.
In response to declining sales, Apple introduced rare discounts in China earlier this month, cutting prices on iPhone 16 models by up to 500 yuan ($68.50). Major e-commerce platforms like Alibaba&#8217;s Tmall marketplace followed suit with additional promotions. Despite these efforts, competition from Chinese manufacturers and a lack of AI integration in Apple&#8217;s latest devices may have eroded its market position in one of its key regions.
The broader Chinese smartphone market grew 4% in 2024, with brands like Huawei and Xiaomi posting substantial shipment increases, further highlighting the competitive pressures faced by Apple in the region.
AAPL Price Action: Apple shares closed Thursday down 4.04% at $228.26, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a> The stock saw a further decline in after-hours trading, down 0.026% at $228.20.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Viking Therapeutics 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

The National Cannabis Roundtable (NCR) and U.S. Cannabis Council (USCC) announced a merger, uniting their efforts to represent leading multi-state and single-state cannabis operators, retailers, ancillary businesses and advocacy organizations on Capitol Hill.
The U.S. Cannabis Roundtable, the result of this merger, will serve as a unified voice for the cannabis industry, addressing the newly sworn-in 119th Congress and the incoming Trump administration. This consolidated organization will represent businesses operating in 38 states, as well as a significant portion of the 13,000 retail locations and nearly 450,000 full-time employees within the state-licensed cannabis sector.
"This is a pivotal time for the regulated&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;industry with a newly elected Congress and an incoming president who has publicly supported and pledged to advance commonsense cannabis reform," said Charlie Bachtell, CEO of Cresco Labs Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRLBF#OTC">CRLBF</a>) and chairperson of both NCR and USCC. 
"As the chairman of both groups, I have seen first-hand the incredible talent of each organization and know that the combined group will be the unified authority advocating on behalf of the legal&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;industry and a resource on all things&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;for members of the Trump Administration and Congress."
During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump supported a states' rights legislative approach to cannabis, including reclassifying it from Schedule I to Schedule III and backing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/safe-banking-act">SAFE Banking Act</a> — key priorities for NCR and USCC.
"President Trump's endorsement represents a sea change in&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;policy and advocacy," said Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>) and vice chair of NCR. "For the first time in history, a Republican president endorsed these initiatives, and our new combined organization will best position the industry to help the president get them over the finish line."
NCR and USCC will deploy an advocacy team including former members of Congress and a former Trump senior advisor, among others. The cannabis priorities of the organization and its advocates focus on reform initiatives and will include:
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rescheduling&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;to Schedule III
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Passing states' rights legislation that allows each state to make its own decision on&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;policy
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Enacting&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;Banking Legislation (the SAFE/SAFER Banking Act)
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ending the scenario that allows foreign&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;companies to list on the NASDAQ and NYSE while prohibiting state-licensed U.S.&nbsp;cannabis&nbsp;companies from doing the same.&nbsp;

Nukkleus Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUKK#NASDAQ">NUKK</a>) shares are trading higher in Thursday&#8217;s after-hours session after the strategic acquisition company announced it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43040329/nukkleus-inc-successfully-resolves-nasdaq-delisting-threat-achieving-compliance-across-all-key-par">regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules</a>.
What Happened: After the market close on Thursday, Nukkleus said it received notice on Wednesday that it successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq listing rules which require companies to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities and a minimum market value of publicly held shares.
Nukkleus effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split on Oct. 24 to regain compliance with the $1 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq. Every eight shares of the company&#8217;s common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock, reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares from 16.9 million to approximately 2.1 million.
Nukkleus on Thursday announced that the Nasdaq canceled the hearing scheduled for Jan. 21, confirming that the company&#8217;s shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq.
&#8220;The management of the company believes this milestone underscores its effective resolution of all compliance matters with Nasdaq, allowing the company to continue its pursuit of sustainable growth and deliver lasting value to its stakeholders,&#8221; the Nukkleus said.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NUKK Stock</h1>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Nukkleus — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. 
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
NUKK Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/nukk">Nukkleus shares</a> were up 28.59% in after-hours, trading at $26.40 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
