$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Dana White served as the matchmaker who wanted to make a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/23/08/33606870/musk-vs-zuckerberg-billionaire-bout-latest-odds-reveal-clear-favorite-potential-100-bet-wi"> cage fight between billionaires</a> Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg a reality. While the fight didn't happen, White has now turned to helping one of the billionaires as a member of his company&#8217;s board of directors.
What Happened: White once said a cage fight between Musk and Zuckerberg could<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32988611/elon-musk-vs-mark-zuckerberg-fight-back-on-mom-says-no-but-dana-white-says-lets-make-it-happen"> raise millions of dollars</a> for charity.
"This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world. It would break all pay-per-view records," White previously said.
While the fight never happened, White is now tasked with helping Zuckerberg's company as he was named a member of the Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) board of directors on Monday.
White, who is the CEO of the UFC said he makes "fights that people want to see." Now alongside his everyday job, White will help Meta usher in the new era of artificial intelligence.
"I've never been interested in joining a board of directors until I got the offer to join Meta's board. I am a huge believer that social media and AI are the future," White said.
White said he's excited to learn more about Meta from the inside and to join the incredible team.
"There is nothing I love more than building brands, and I look forward to helping take Meta to the next level."
The appointment of White brings a Donald Trump ally closer to the social media executive and could create synergies between UFC and Meta. While Trump and Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42454227/months-after-trump-threatened-to-put-mark-zuckerberg-in-prison-meta-ceo-donates-1m-to-president-elects-inaugural-event">previously clashed</a> over social media bans imposed on the former president, Zuckerberg recently met with Trump and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42454227/months-after-trump-threatened-to-put-mark-zuckerberg-in-prison-meta-ceo-donates-1m-to-president-elects-inaugural-event">donated to his inauguration fund.</a>
The announcement of White joining the Meta board comes on the same day that WWE, which like UFC is owned by TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>), is set to make its live debut on streaming giant Netflix.

Other Board Appointees: Alongside White, two other Meta board of directors appointees were announced Monday.
Exor CEO John Elkann and investor Charlie Songhurst were also announced as new Meta board members.
Exor, which is controlled by the Agnelli family, is one of the largest European investment companies, according to the press release. Elkann is the executive chairman of both Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) and Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>). Exor owns stakes in Stellantis, Ferrari, CNH, Phillips, Louboutin and Juventus Football Club.
"I look forward to bringing my global experience and long-term perspective to the board as Meta continues to shape and push the next frontiers of innovation and technology," Elkann said.
Songhurst is an investor specializing in the technology sector and startups. He previously worked at Microsoft helping with partnerships and M&amp;A.
"As part of Meta's advisory group, I've seen firsthand the opportunities to scale new products and grow AI and enterprise capabilities," Songhurst said.
Zuckerberg highlighted the AI opportunity in Monday's announcement.
"Dana, John and Charlie will add a depth of expertise and perspective that will help us tackle the massive opportunities ahead with AI, wearables and the future of human connection," Zuckerberg said.
META Price Action: Meta stock closed Monday up 4.23% to $630.20 versus a 52-week trading range of $352.05 to $638.40. Meta shares were up 0.66% to $634.35 in after-hours trading. The stock is up 76% over the past year.
TKO shares traded higher on news of the announcement in the after-hours trading market before returning to the $141.63 level it closed at Monday at the time of writing.

Enovix Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENVX#NASDAQ">ENVX</a>) shares are rising in extended trading Monday after the company announced the completion of site acceptance testing for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42831392/enovix-completes-site-acceptance-testing-sat-of-fab2">Fab2 in Malaysia</a>.
What Happened: Enovix said it completed&nbsp;site acceptance testing for its high-volume manufacturing line at Fab2&nbsp;in late December. The battery manufacturing company plans to begin mass production later this year.
The site acceptance testing validates the readiness of the company&#8217;s manufacturing equipment and marks the final stage of factory acceptance testing before commercial-scale production begins. Enovix noted the milestone shows Fab2 is fully equipped to produce high-performance silicon batteries at volume.
&#8220;The completion of SAT represents a turning point for Fab2 and for Enovix,&#8221; said Raj Talluri, CEO of Enovix.
&#8220;It reflects the dedication of our team and our commitment to operational excellence. With significant customer interest in our cutting-edge technology, Fab2 will enable us to meet large-scale production demands while maintaining the highest quality standards.&#8221;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is ENVX A Good Stock To Buy?</h1>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages — such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ENVX">Enovix</a>&#8216;s page, for example — there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Enovix does not pay a dividend, but has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ENVX">Enovix</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
ENVX Price Action:&nbsp;<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/envx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Enovix shares</a>&nbsp;were up 5.54% in after-hours, trading at $13.15 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

A Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analyst sees upcoming revamped and new vehicle models helping to boost sales along with Full Self-Driving licensing potential, brushing aside the company's recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on"> fourth-quarter delivery miss.</a>
The Tesla Analyst: Tesla analyst Stephen Gengaro reiterated a Buy rating on Tesla. He also raised the price target from $441 to $492.

The Analyst Takeaways: The upcoming rollout of the "Model 2" from Tesla is a catalyst, Gengaro said in a new investor note.
Strong demand is anticipated for the lower-priced Model 2, according to the analyst. The introduction of this new vehicle could serve as a new way for Tesla vehicles to be more accessible to a wider range of consumers.
The analyst also highlighted the company's revamped Model 3 and a Model Y refresh as items that could boost vehicle sales, as <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/stifel-lifts-tesla-stock-target-buy-rating-on-growth-outlook-93CH-4598738">reported </a>by Investing.com.
"We believe Tesla is very well positioned to deliver robust multi-year growth in 2025-27+," Gengaro said in the note, as <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1876294513138012509">shared </a>by Sawyer Merritt.
The analyst considers the potential removal of $7,500 in electric vehicle tax credits under the new White House administration as an advantage for Tesla over competitors.
Outside of vehicle sales, the analyst also highlights Tesla's Full Self-Driving and artificial intelligence initiatives that could bring value and revenue to the company and its shares.
"We also believe Tesla's AI-based Full Self-Driving initiative has the potential to generate significant value through both sales of FSD, possible licensing agreements, and a critical part of longer-term Cybercab initiatives."
The analyst's price target increase comes after the delivery miss and the company posting its first annual sales decline on a year-over-year basis. Analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42777950/teslas-first-sales-drop-splits-wall-street-2025-will-be-the-prove-it-year">continue to debate</a> what the short-term and long-term looks like for the electric vehicle leader with new vehicles, robotaxis and FSD among the most covered topics.
Tesla will report fourth-quarter financial results after the market closes on Jan. 29. 
Price Action: Tesla stock was up 0.2% to $411.05 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is up 71% over the last year.

Tesla Stock 'Well Positioned To Deliver Robust Multi-Year Growth': Why Analyst Is Raising Price Target After Deliveries Miss

New York City&#8217;s congestion toll program launched on Sunday, adding new fees for drivers and rideshare customers. Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and LYFT, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) lobbied in favor of congestion tolls and are positioned to benefit<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42806918/new-york-citys-historic-congestion-pricing-starts-sunday-uber-and-lyft-passengers-to-pay-for-entering-manhattan"> from the new fees. </a>
What To Know: The new congestion toll program is intended to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and raise funds for the city's mass transit system. Most drivers entering Manhattan&#8217;s Congestion Relief Zone, south of 60th Street, will be charged a $9 toll during peak hours while rideshare services will be charged significantly less $1.50 per vehicle.

According to <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/04/us-news/uber-lyft-spent-millions-pushing-for-nyc-congestion-pricing-and-stand-to-make-killing/">a report </a>from the New York Post, Uber and Lyft have spent millions of dollars lobbying in favor of the congestion toll program and stand to benefit from its rollout.
According to the New York Post report, Lyft contributed $18,500 in each of the last four years to Gov. Kathy Hochul's campaign, which championed the new congestion tolls. The Post also reported that Uber spent $2 million between 2015 and 2019 to promote congestion tolls. 
Why It Matters: Uber and Lyft are passing the additional fee to the customer so the increased tolls will not directly affect the companies' bottom lines. The companies could also benefit from reduced traffic leading to faster service and from drivers switching to ridesharing services in order to avoid higher tolls.&nbsp;
Lyft announced it is refunding the new $1.50 congestion fee in the form of a credit for future trips for all rides completed in the month of January.&nbsp;
"Since 2019 rideshare riders have already paid a $2.75 congestion fee to the MTA for rides that start, end or pass through a separate congestion zone that begins below 96th Street in Manhattan. We don't think riders should be double taxed, and we lobbied hard for them to be exempt from this new additional $1.50 congestion fee," the company said in <a href="https://www.lyft.com/blog/posts/navigating-the-new-nyc-congestion-fee-with-lyft">a statement</a> released last week.&nbsp;
Josh Gold, a Uber spokesman, told the New York Post that the company was "early supporters of congestion pricing" but "government can't continue to raise prices and fees on New Yorkers and expect no consequences."
The full impact of congestion tolling on the rideshare services will become clearer as future ridership figures come in.&nbsp;

Every January, traders and market enthusiasts look to the first month's performance as a potential crystal ball <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color">for the year ahead. </a>
The &#8216;January Barometer&#8217; and the &#8216;January Effect&#8217;—two staples of market lore—suggest that January holds predictive power over the entire year's stock market trajectory. 
But while these ideas are catchy, investors may find more reliable gains by focusing elsewhere.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The January Effect And Barometer: A Closer Look</h3>
The January Effect refers to a historical trend where stocks tend to rise during the month of January. This phenomenon is often attributed to year-end tax-loss harvesting, where investors sell off losing positions in December to offset capital gains, only to reinvest at the start of the new year.
Meanwhile, the January Barometer, introduced by Yale Hirsch in 1972, takes a broader perspective. It suggests that the S&amp;P 500's performance in January can serve as a predictor for the rest of the year. 
The logic behind the January Barometer is simple, with the sentence "as goes January, so goes the year," frequently cited in financial circles. 
According to Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, the January Barometer has proven accurate more often than not.
Data shows that between 1965 and 2024, January's performance matched the market's full-year direction in 42 out of 59 years, or about 71% of the time. 
Moreover, January ranks as the fourth-best performing month for stocks historically, with an average gain of 1.2% since 1928.
Looking at a more recent history, in 2024, the S&amp;P 500, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), posted a 1.6% gain in January and ended the year up by a strong 23.3%. In 2023, a spectacular 6.3% surge in January set the stage for a 24.4% annual rally, while in 2022, a sharp 6.3% drop in January foreshadowed a nearly 20% decline for the year.
On paper, these stats make January look significant. But are they truly actionable?
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Flaws In January's Predictive Power</h3>
While intriguing, the January Barometer and Effect often rely on loose correlations rather than causal relationships.
Almost all months of the year, with the sole exclusion of September, tend to show historical gains simply because stock prices have a natural upward trend over time. 
The January Effect, tied to tax-loss selling and reinvestment, also presents logical inconsistencies, as Yardeni highlighted.
If tax-loss selling depresses December's performance, how does December maintain its reputation for the so-called Santa Claus rallies? In fact, December outperforms January historically, with an average gain of 1.3% since 1928, making it the third-best month for stocks.
These contradictions highlight why traders should be cautious when relying on January-based strategies. Statistical quirks don't necessarily translate into consistent profits.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Look Beyond January</h3>
January's allure as a market bellwether often overshadows its true significance. Although the January Barometer and Effect have historical appeal, their predictive power is more coincidence than strategy.
&#8220;It is better simply to stay invested for the long run than to trade these two January statistical regularities,&#8221; Yardeni said.
While the January Barometer and Effect have historical merit, their predictive power pales in comparison to the benefits of long-term, fundamentals-based strategies.
