Before Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) became the world's most valuable semiconductor company, it was on the brink of bankruptcy—until a single letter from Jensen Huang to Tawan Semiconductor's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) Morris Chang changed everything.&nbsp;&nbsp;
What Happened: In 1997, Nvidia was struggling financially, with just 50 to 60 employees and an increasingly uncertain future.
Facing potential bankruptcy, Nvidia CEO wrote a letter to Chang, pleading for the company's support in manufacturing a critical chip that could turn Nvidia's fortunes around.
In a podcast, Chang recalled time saying that in his letter, Huang explained that Nvidia had developed promising technology but was struggling to find a reliable foundry partner.
Nvidia had already approached TSMC's San Jose office but had received no response. The letter, mailed to TSMC's general post office, eventually made its way to Chang, sparking curiosity and irritation.

"The letter raised my curiosity and also irritated me a little bit," Chang recalled. "I had always told our salespeople that we should never be negligent in talking to future customers, even if the customer seems to be a very small one."&nbsp;&nbsp;
Coincidentally, Chang was planning a visit to the U.S. the following week. He decided to call Huang personally using the phone number printed on the letter's stationery.
Huang answered amidst background noise, seemingly in the middle of a heated discussion with his team. But as soon as he realized who was calling, he silenced the room and excitedly shouted, "Quiet! Morris Chang is calling me!"&nbsp;&nbsp;
The two arranged to meet in person, where Huang made a bold prediction. Despite Nvidia's financial troubles, he was confident that its upcoming chip—whose name Chang couldn't recall—would not only save the company but also make Nvidia one of TSMC's major customers.

"That was quite a bold statement," Chang admitted. "We were a billion-dollar company at that time, and to be a major customer of ours, he would have to produce revenue for us of at least $50 million a year."&nbsp;&nbsp;
Against all odds, Huang's prediction came true. The chip was a massive success, not only rescuing Nvidia from financial collapse but also cementing its position as a leading force in the gaming and graphics industry.
Within two to three years, Nvidia had become one of TSMC's top five customers.

Why It Matters: Today, Nvidia and TSMC's partnership, potentially valued in billions of dollars, is one of the most important in the semiconductor industry.
TSMC manufactures the world's most advanced chips, including Nvidia's AI-focused GPUs, which have driven the company's market valuation to $3.057 trillion. 
Nvidia's AI processors, such as the H100 and upcoming Blackwell GPUs, rely on TSMC's cutting-edge fabrication technology. Nvidia contributed 11% of TSMC&#8217;s revenue in 2023, according to estimates from semiconductor analyst Dan Nystedt. The company paid TSMC $7.73 billion that year for its services.

Earlier it was revealed in Chang's biography that in 2013 he offered Huang the position of CEO at his company. However, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42270404/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-was-offered-ceo-role-at-rival-company-in-2013-i-already-have-a-job">Nvidia CEO declined</a>, stating, &#8220;I already have a job.&#8221;
TSMC currently has a market capitalization of $1.081 trillion, making it the 10th most valuable company in the world.
However, reports from last year suggested strain in Nvidia and TSMC's three-decade partnership. The Information <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/nvidia-and-tsmcs-lucrative-ai-alliance-shows-signs-of-stress">reported</a> that TSMC believes Nvidia rushed production despite knowing about Blackwell&#8217;s defects. Meanwhile, Nvidia blamed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40800236/nvidia-faces-investor-scrutiny-over-blackwell-chip-delays-big-revenue-expected-report">delays on TSMC's new</a> semiconductor packaging technology.

Jensen Huang Once Wrote A Desperate Letter To Save Nvidia But Also Forged A Partnership Worth Billions With TSMC: Morris Chang Reveals The Story

Banks have successfully sold $5.5 billion in loans tied to X Corp., the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43373012/elon-musk-bringing-advertisers-back-to-x-amazon-boosts-spending-apple-considers-return">surging investor demand</a>. 
What Happened: The sale, which was initially planned at $3 billion, was expanded due to heightened interest, with investors including Pimco and Citadel purchasing the loans at 97 cents on the dollar, people familiar with the matter <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banks-sell-5-5-billion-of-x-loans-after-investor-interest-surges-4b84f89c?st=GYpPqP&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink">told</a> The Wall Street Journal. 
The floating-rate debts carry an interest rate of approximately 11%—a premium even compared to some of Wall Street's riskiest loans.
The transaction underscores the renewed investor enthusiasm surrounding X Corp. following Musk's growing influence in Washington and the return of key advertisers, such as Amazon.com Inc. The platform faced significant turmoil after Musk's $44 billion acquisition in 2022, as advertisers pulled back due to concerns over content moderation. While X is still grappling with financial challenges, recent signs of stability have drawn fresh interest from investors.
At a recent investor meeting led by Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) bankers and X CEO Linda Yaccarino, financial documents revealed that Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, has injected hundreds of millions of dollars into X. The two entities share executives and business ties, and X now holds a 10% stake in xAI, valued at approximately $5 billion, according to the WSJ report.

Why It Matters: The loan sale is a significant win for the banks, including Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and Barclays (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCS#NYSE">BCS</a>), which originally extended financing for Musk's 2022 buyout. The sluggish performance of X and high interest rates had forced them to hold onto the debt far longer than expected.
Despite the successful sale, the banks still retain around $6 billion in X-related debt, some of which is considered riskier. X remains under financial pressure, with annual interest payments exceeding $1 billion. 
With major advertisers like Amazon ramping up spending and Apple Inc. reportedly considering reintroducing ads.

Elon Musk's Lenders Cash In $5.5 Billion On Thanks To Investor Demand For X Loans: Report

Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency has secured access to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according a report Wednesday. The extent of the access and the systems involved are yet to be clarified.
What Happened: DOGE representatives have been granted access to key payment and contract systems, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elon-musk-doge-medicare-medicaid-fraud-e697b162?mod=hp_lead_pos3">reported</a> Wall Street Journal. However, the CMS has not provided any clarification on this matter.
Musk said on X that &#8220;big money fraud&#8221; was taking place at the CMS on Wednesday in response to another user sharing the story..
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1887184902543577590?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2025</a></blockquote>

</figure>
The CMS confirmed the collaboration with DOGE, mentioning two senior agency veterans leading the collaboration and ensuring appropriate access to CMS systems and technology, according to the Journal.
DOGE&#8217;s focus on CMS aligns with its&nbsp;mandate to cut at least&nbsp;$1 trillion in federal spending. The CMS, which spent over $1.5 trillion in 2024, is often criticized for fraudulent and wasteful spending. Musk expressed&nbsp;his interest in the health&nbsp;agency, hinting at potential fraud in Medicare spending.
Musk&#8217;s representatives had reportedly yet to access sensitive databases that include identifiable personal health information of people enrolled in both Medicaid and Medicare. The access given to DOGE representatives was &#8220;read-only.&#8221;

Why It Matters: DOGE&#8217;s access to CMS comes in the wake of Trump&#8217;s Medicaid cuts. In January it was reported that the GOP was pushing for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43191852/an-existential-fight-ahead-why-trumps-medicaid-cuts-could-leave-millions-struggling-with-healthcare-costs">big changes to Medicaid</a>, which serves 79 million low-income or disabled Americans.
Later that month, the White House ordered a temporary freeze on all federal grants and loans, putting $3 trillion in funding under scrutiny. This move threatened a wide range of industries, including healthcare. Benzinga reported that all federal agencies were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43290381/trumps-federal-spending-freeze-puts-3-trillion-in-limbo-threatens-industries-like-clean-energy-defense-healthcare">required to halt disbursements</a> while programs were reviewed for alignment with Trump&#8217;s policy priorities.
Soon after the freeze was announced the Medicaid website stopped functioning, but the White House later attributed that to an &#8220;outage.&#8221; The executive branch of the government said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43294006/trump-white-house-blames-outage-for-medicaid-website-lockout-we-have-confirmed-no-payments-have-been-affected">no payments had been affected</a>.
The Department of Government Efficiency shares its acronym with Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), the cryptocurrency frequently mentioned in Musk&#8217;s posts on X.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE traded 2.7% lower at $0.26, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?utm_source=insights">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

DOGE Gains Access To Medicare And Medicaid Systems: Elon Musk Says, 'This Is Where The Big Money Fraud Is Happening'

Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) reported record deliveries in the fourth quarter as the company prepares to grow in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle"> electric vehicle sector.</a>
The company enters 2025 with strong momentum and the launch of a second vehicle model.
What Happened: Lucid launched the highly anticipated Gravity three-row SUV in late 2024.
In January, Lucid sold 50 Lucid Gravity SUVs, according to data from Motor Intelligence reported by <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/02/04/lucid-lcid-ev-sales-climb-50-jan-after-gravity-suv-launch/">Electrek</a>. The company had total sales of 665 units in January, consisting of the Gravity vehicles and 615 Lucid Air sedans.
The sales figure is among the highest monthly totals in Lucid history, falling shy of the record 780 deliveries in the month of December. 
This represents a 51% year-over-year increase for Lucid for January, which could illustrate how important the launch of the Gravity was, giving the company a second model and important entry into the SUV sector.
Lucid reported deliveries of 3,099 vehicles in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42842059/lucids-q4-deliveries-soar-to-new-highs-gravity-suv-sets-optimism-for-coming-months">the fourth quarter</a>, a company record at the time. Quarterly deliveries were up 79% year-over-year in the fourth quarter.

Why It's Important: The Gravity SUV, which has a starting price of $94,900 will help Lucid compete with the Tesla Model X from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and the Rivian R1S from Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>).
The company also plans to launch its lower-priced version of the Gravity later this year with a starting price of $79,900.
With the potential end of the federal EV tax credit, Tesla is expected to benefit from its lower prices. Lucid has not been among the sales leaders for EVs, but has received attention and praise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/06/39364585/lucid-vs-tesla-ceo-says-companys-technology-is-a-number-of-years-ahead-of-ev-leader">for its technology.</a>
The early success of the Gravity could go a long way to showing that Lucid has staying power in the electric vehicle sector.
Lucid reports fourth-quarter financial results Feb. 25, which could offer more commentary on how Gravity demand and momentum is fairing. 
LCID Price Action: Lucid stock closed Wednesday at $2.91 versus a 52-week trading range of $1.93 to $4.43. The stock is up in the last several trading days, but shares remain down 10% over the past year. The stock is up over 40% from its year lows hit in December.

Today, at 10:03 AM on February 5th, a significant trading signal occurred for Broadcom, Inc. (AVGO) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $228.86. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;

By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

TRADEPULSE POWER INFLOW ALERT: BROADCOM INC. (AVGO) MOVES UP 4% AFTER ALERT FROM TRADEPULSE

The life of shopping malls has transformed in recent years with big-box tenants going bankrupt and malls looking for new uses for their large real estate space, including new tenants, apartments and entertainment experiences like<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39439112/will-netflix-save-shopping-malls-new-experiences-a-potential-game-changer-for-retail-center"> those from Netflix.</a>
Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) is now the owner of a shopping mall and the move will likely be closely followed by the real estate sector.
 What Happened: For what is believed to be the first time in company history, Walmart is the owner of a shopping mall. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42247997/walmart-shoppers-shun-electronics-for-black-friday-deals-on-eggs-bread-slippers">world's largest retailer </a>paid $34 million to acquire the Monroeville Mall, located near Pittsburgh.
Walmart purchased the mall from CBL &amp; Associates (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBL#NYSE">CBL</a>) recently and partnered with Cypress Equities to redevelop the property. Cypress has been used by Walmart previously to help with site selection on new retail locations.
"Walmart did purchase the Monroeville Mall and is very interested in being part of any future redevelopment of this site," Walmart said in a statement, as <a href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/walmart-buys-pittsburgh-area-mall/739277/">reported </a>by Retail Dive. "Walmart is working with Cypress on mall operations and potential redevelopment of the site."
The retailer is staying quiet on what the redevelopment plans look like for the 1.2 million square foot mall. The mall occupies 186 acres and sits near several major highways.
The Monroeville Mall, which was built in 1969, was last renovated in 2003. CBL bought the mall for $231.2 million in 2004.
Covering two stories, the mall has over 130 stores, which currently include Macy's, JCPenney, Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Barnes &amp; Noble and a Cinemark movie theater.
CBL, who listed the property for sale in December, said the mall gets over 3.5 million annual visits. &nbsp;

Why It's Important: With Walmart or Cypress not providing details on what will happen to the mall, a lot could change in the coming months.
The biggest question mark is why Walmart bought the mall, which leads into the second biggest question of will Walmart add its own store or a Sam's Club to the tenants that make up Monroeville Mall.
The report said Walmart does not have a store in Monroeville and has eyed the location before. With the mall having prominent real estate by major highways, a Walmart as a mall anchor could make a lot of sense and help justify the purchase price.
Based on what happens with this mall redevelopment it will also be interesting to see if Walmart keeps ownership of the property and becomes landlord to the other retailers and if the company would utilize this model at other shopping malls across the country.
WMT Price Action: Walmart stock closed 1.68% up at $102.46 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $55.85 to $102.58. Walmart stock hit the new 52-week highs during Wednesday's intraday session and the stock is now up 82% over the last year.

$100 Invested In Brookfield 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Billionaire investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43084861/mark-cubans-29-million-shark-tank-portfolio-from-200k-in-dude-wipes-to-200m-for-beatbox-beverages-im-killing-it">Mark Cuban</a> recently floated an interesting idea on X. He's thinking about launching his own meme coin, but with a twist. Unlike Donald Trump's $TRUMP token, which made waves in the crypto world, Cuban wants all the proceeds from his token sales to go straight to the U.S. Treasury to help tackle the national debt.
Cuban <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1881445569727758392">said on X</a>: &#8220;If meme coins are the way, maybe I'll issue one. With a twist. Same terms as $TRUMP. 20% float. Same release schedule. One difference. All the revenue from the sale of the coins go to the U.S. Treasury. The wallet address will be published so everyone can track it. If you want to gamble, gamble. But at least use it to make a dent in the U.S. Debt. You in?&#8221;

</ul>
To put things into perspective, the U.S. national debt is sitting at a staggering $36.22 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury. Naturally, Cuban's post blew up, racking up over 60,000 likes and sparking all kinds of reactions.&nbsp;
Some people were quick to call him out, reminding him that he had previously dismissed meme coins as &#8220;shit coins.&#8221; One user, &#8220;Injective AI Intern,&#8221; pointed out the contradiction, and Cuban clapped back, saying, &#8220;Just making the point. If it's a grift, make it a grift to benefit all Americans.&#8221;
Not everyone was against the idea, though. Journalist Brian Krassenstein chimed in, suggesting that Cuban could split the funds—half to the Treasury, half to help lower prescription drug prices.&nbsp;
Trending: According to Juniper Research, the total value of B2B cross-border payments stored on the blockchain is projected to exceed $4.4 trillion — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/web3-enabler-future-of-enterprise-transactions">Join the first company to bring blockchain payments to Salesforce early with just $100.</a>
Cuban wasn't on board with that, saying he didn't want to pick favorites and that paying down the national debt was the best way to create broad benefits.
Now, Cuban and Trump have a bit of a history. Cuban has been one of Trump's biggest critics, but at the same time, he's clearly paying attention to the financial success of the $TRUMP meme coin.&nbsp;
That token skyrocketed 1,000% in just two days, peaking at $71 before cooling off to about $26.40 by Jan. 27—still a hefty 300% jump from its launch.

But not everyone is thrilled about the rise of political meme coins. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has raised red flags, calling them a &#8220;perfect bribery vehicle.&#8221; His concern? Politicians could profit without anyone actually handing them money.&nbsp;
&#8220;If a politician issues a coin, you don't even need to send them any coins to give them money,&#8221; Buterin said. &#8220;Instead, you just buy and hold the coin, and this increases the value of their holdings passively.&#8221; Basically, it's a sneaky way for financial influence to creep into politics.
Of course, not everyone sees it that way. White House AI and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42009965/vaneck-ceo-boldly-predicts-bitcoin-at-300k-per-coin-reaching-half-of-golds-market-cap-in-the-face-of-growing-demand"> crypto</a> advisor David Sacks compared meme coins with collectibles—think baseball cards or stamps. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zOqyntqzOI">In an interview with Fox Business</a>, he said people aren't necessarily buying these tokens for financial gain but as a way to support or commemorate a political movement.

The energy sector, fueled by technological advancements, renewable energy growth, and increasing demand for sustainable solutions, continues to be a hub of innovation and an appealing choice for investors seeking long-term growth. Thus, it could be wise to consider investing in fundamentally sound energy stocks: ChampionX Corp. (CHX), Subsea 7 S.A. (SUBCY), and DNOW Inc. (DNOW). Read on… The energy sector is on the cusp of transformative growth in 2025, fueled by technological breakthroughs, the rapid adoption of renewable energy, and the increasing demand for sustainable solutions. In this article, we'll discuss three fundamentally sound energy stocks: ChampionX Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CHX/">CHX</a>), Subsea 7 S.A. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SUBCY/">SUBCY</a>), and DNOW Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DNOW/">DNOW</a>), which are driving innovation in this space.
The transition toward low-emission transportation and cleantech manufacturing in the United States has gained significant traction thanks to supportive policies and growing investor interest. This shift creates a fertile ground for innovative energy companies to thrive as they address the demand for greener, more efficient solutions.
One key driver in this transition is artificial intelligence (AI), which reshapes energy systems by enabling smarter energy generation, storage, and trading strategies. With the global AI in the energy market projected to grow nearly sixfold to<a href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/ai-in-energy-market-231720509.html#:~:text=Overview,36.9%20%25%20during%20the%20same%20period."> $58.66 billion by 2030</a>, the potential for innovation is immense.
Concurrently, clean energy technologies are poised to reduce emissions, especially as the world aims to meet ambitious net-zero goals by 2050. While existing solutions will help, real breakthroughs will rely on cutting-edge technologies still in development. With the clean energy market expected to <a href="https://www.iea.org/news/global-market-for-key-clean-technologies-set-to-triple-to-more-than-2-trillion-over-the-coming-decade-as-energy-transitions-advance">exceed $2 trillion</a> in the next decade, the sector is ripe for growth.
Moreover, the Energy as a Service market is poised to surge from $105.91 billion in 2025 to $190.69 billion by 2030, exhibiting a <a href="https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/energy-as-a-service-market">CAGR of 12.5%</a>. With rising demand for innovative energy solutions, companies in this space are not only contributing to a greener future but also unlocking significant growth opportunities for investors.

3 Innovative Energy Stocks Charging Ahead

As oil demand rises and production ramps up, the energy sector shows signs of recovery. Amid this backdrop, investors looking to invest in this industry might consider fundamentally sound oilfield services stocks like TechnipFMC (FTI), Subsea 7 S.A. (SUBCY), and ChampionX Corp. (CHX), which are poised to capitalize on the industry's rebound. Read on… After a challenging 2024, the energy sector could be gearing up for a recovery in 2025. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, which tracks energy stocks within the S&amp;P 500, delivered a mere 2% return last year, falling well short of the broader S&amp;P 500's impressive 23% gain. This underperformance was primarily due to stagnant oil prices, which started the year strong but ultimately returned to near their starting levels, dampening investor sentiment.
As the industry seeks to rebound, investors could consider investing in fundamentally sound oilfield services stocks like TechnipFMC plc (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/FTI/">FTI</a>), Subsea 7 S.A. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SUBCY/">SUBCY</a>), and ChampionX Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CHX/">CHX</a>), poised for potential growth.
Geopolitical uncertainty kept oil markets on edge in 2024, with Brent crude prices averaging $80 per barrel but occasionally dipping into the low $70s. This year, Goldman Sachs Research forecasts Brent to trade <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/how-geopolitics-will-ripple-through-oil-prices-in-2025">between $70 and $85 per barrel</a>, averaging $76.
Supply levels in non-OPEC countries and ongoing geopolitical developments, such as sanctions and tariffs, are expected to influence market trends. Meanwhile, long-term demand for oil is expected to climb, driven by rising GDP and increasing transportation needs in emerging markets.
In addition, the International Energy Agency (IEA) recently revised its global oil demand growth forecast for 2025, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/iea-sees-comfortably-supplied-oil-market-2025-despite-demand-hike-2024-12-12/">raising it to 1.1 million barrels per day</a> (bpd) thanks to China's stimulus measures and strong economic activity in Asia. On the supply side, non-OPEC+ nations are expected to increase production by about 1.5 million bpd, led by countries like the United States, Brazil, and Guyana.
Given this backdrop, let's look at the fundamentals of the above-mentioned <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/energy-services/">Energy – Services</a> picks in detail:
