Elon Musk-led EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has begun delivering its refreshed Model Y in China, while U.S. customers who have placed orders are still awaiting their vehicles.
What Happened: &#8220;Deliveries of our new Model Y kick off in China today. Heart racing for more to come!,&#8221; Tesla said in a post on social media platform X.
The post was accompanied by photographs of customers taking deliveries of their vehicles in the country amid decorations.

Tesla launched the refreshed Model Y first in China and in its primary U.S. market only a few days later. In the U.S., vehicle deliveries are expected to start in March.
In China, the refreshed vehicle starts at 263,500 yuan, nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42905406/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-in-china-amid-rising-competition">5.4% pricier </a>than the older version of the vehicle which started at 249,900 yuan.
Why It Matters: Model Y is Tesla's best-selling vehicle. The refreshed vehicle's launch follows the company reporting a fall in annual vehicle deliveries for the first time in over a decade.
Tesla reported global&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deliveries of 1.79 million</a>&nbsp;vehicles in 2024, down from full-year deliveries of 1.81 million in 2023.

The CEO also warned that margins will be impacted due to idle capacity and other ramp-related costs. However, these challenges will be overcome once production is ramped, he said.

What Happened: The airline has now installed Starlink Wi-Fi on its 30th aircraft, just four months after launching the world's first Boeing 777 Starlink-enabled flight.
This marks a major acceleration in the airline's rollout plans, far exceeding its initial goal of 12 installations in 2024.
Initially, the airline planned to complete the entire Boeing 777 fleet upgrade in two years, but thanks to process optimizations, the full rollout will now be completed by the second quarter of 2025, the company said on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) CEO Adam Aron said that the world's biggest streamers are rethinking their approach to the big screen—Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are fully on board, but Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) still needs convincing.
What Happened: "There are streamers and then there are streamers," Aron said during AMC's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43958798/amc-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-attendance-up-20-shares-climb">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call.&nbsp;
The CEO noted that both companies have shown enthusiasm for theatrical distribution, with Amazon significantly expanding its distribution team to boost film releases.
Apple is also gearing up for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/22/06/27599992/top-gun-maverick-director-to-team-up-with-apple-brad-pitt-for-formula-1-movie">release of the movie</a> &#8220;F1,&#8221; directed by Joe Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, which is expected to be a major hit.

Aron said that the industry is recognizing the value of theatrical releases, as movies that perform well in theaters often become popular on streaming platforms.
He stated that while Apple and Amazon are embracing this trend, Netflix has been less enthusiastic. "We would love to be able to convince Netflix that embracing theatrical releases is good for them."&nbsp;
He pointed out that Netflix had previously tested the waters with "Glass Onion" and now "Narnia," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43063274/imax-secures-netflix-deal-for-exclusive-narnia-theatrical-release-stock-jumps">which will screen on</a> IMAX Corp. (NYSE: IMAX0 screens.

Why It Matters:&nbsp; In the fourth quarter, AMC reported revenue of $1.31 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.3 billion.
While AMC CEO seems to be encouraging streamers and theatres collaboration, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos last year said that blockbuster films like &#8220;Barbie&#8221; and &#8220;Oppenheimer&#8221; would have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/39024178/barbie-and-oppenheimer-wouldve-hit-just-as-big-on-netflix-says-ted-sarandos-but-social-medi">equally successful on their platform</a>.
His statement sparked a debate about the role of theaters in a streaming-dominated era.&nbsp;
In October also, Sarandos defended Netflix&#8217;s strategy of largely bypassing theatrical releases saying, "I'm just going to reiterate, we are in the subscriptions streaming business, and you can see our results. It's a pretty good business and it appeals to a very large segment of consumers and fans."
In January 2025, Netflix reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-record-subscribers-nfl-squid-game-push-past-highest-expectations">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $10.25 billion, marking a 16% year-over-year increase and exceeding the Street consensus estimate of $10.11 billion.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, AMC stock rose 0.91% to $3.30. Earlier on Tuesday, it closed at $3.27, down 2.68% for the day. Meanwhile, Netflix stock edged up 0.13% in after-hours trading after closing at $977.24 on Tuesday, reflecting a 1.14% decline for the day, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

AMC CEO Says Apple And Amazon Are Warming Up To Theatrical Releases But This Streaming Giant Still Isn't Convinced

On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) must <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43723246/meta-faces-backlash-as-laid-off-workers-say-they-were-unfairly-targeted-despite-strong-performance-records">face a lawsuit</a> alleging it systematically favors foreign workers.
What Happened: U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler in San Francisco allowed a proposed class-action lawsuit to proceed, brought by Purushothaman Rajaram, Ekta Bhatia, and Qun Wang, who claim Meta rejected them in favor of foreign workers despite their qualifications, reported Reuters.
The plaintiffs argue that Meta has a pattern of prioritizing visa holders for employment, a claim supported by court-cited statistics: 15% of Meta's U.S. workforce holds H-1B visas, compared to 0.5% across all industries.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43962882/meta-gears-up-for-ai-dominance-with-200-billion-data-center-project-report">Meta Gears Up For AI Dominance With $200 Billion Data Center Project: Report</a>
Meta denied the allegations, stating the claims are "baseless" and that there is no evidence it intended to discriminate.
Why It Matters: The lawsuit against Meta comes amid a backdrop of ongoing debates over using <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42715951/trump-backs-immigration-visas-musk-praises-his-stance-and-says-rising-tide-lifts-all-boats">H-1B visas in the tech industry</a>.&nbsp;
In 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order temporarily suspending new H-1B visas, arguing they should go only to highly skilled, well-paid workers and not replace Americans.
A federal judge struck down the order, prompting his administration to impose stricter eligibility rules and higher salary requirements. Another judge later blocked some of those changes.
In December 2024, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42715951/trump-backs-immigration-visas-musk-praises-his-stance-and-says-rising-tide-lifts-all-boats">defended the program</a>, saying, "I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It's a great program."
Amazon topped the list of H-1B visa sponsors in fiscal year 2024, filing 10,969 Labor Condition Applications (LCA) with an average salary of $149,812, according to myvisajobs.com's ranking of the top 200 employers.
Cognizant Technology Solutions followed with 8,688 applications and an average salary of $101,773, while Ernst &amp; Young filed 8,674 applications, offering an average of $143,378. Tata Consultancy Services and Google rounded out the top five, with 8,120 and 7,649 applications, respectively. Google offered the highest average salary among them at $178,184.
Other major tech firms on the list include Microsoft (6,649 applications, $163,672 average salary), Meta (4,566 applications, $199,944), and Intel (3,242 applications, $145,250).

Pepe, Shiba Inu Lead Recovery Amid Broader Slump —Trader Says Those Buying PEPE Now Would Sit Pretty During The Memecoin's Next Retrace

Dockworkers along the U.S. East and Gulf coasts have overwhelmingly approved a six-year contract agreement with nearly 99% voting in favor, the International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association announced Tuesday. 
The approval removes the threat of a potentially devastating strike that could have severely impacted supply chains across major U.S. ports from Boston to Houston, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/us-dockworkers-union-labor-agreement-c3a2abcc2de362b2b104b54100ad8d15">reported</a> the Associated Press.
The contract, already approved by the U.S. Maritime Alliance of ports and shipping companies last month, provides workers with a substantial 62% pay increase over six years, raising top-scale hourly wages from $39 to $63. ILA President Harold Daggett called the agreement &#8220;the &#8216;gold standard&#8217; for dockworker unions globally,&#8221; despite requiring a three-day strike last October to advance negotiations.
A key breakthrough came on automation, the most contentious issue dividing the parties. The agreement permits ports to implement modernizing technology while requiring new worker hiring and prohibiting full automation. Brian Lynch of EY Americas noted the contract &#8220;opens the door a little more for advanced technology&#8221; while maintaining labor protections.
The agreement will be officially signed the week of Mar. 10. President Donald Trump had previously voiced support for the union, criticizing automation&#8217;s impact on American workers.

US Dockworkers Approve 62% Wage Hike In New 6-Year Contract, Averting Major Port Disruption

An investor recommendation urging video game retailer GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) to adopt the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) standard caused cryptocurrencies themed on the company to surge on Tuesday.
What happened: BNB Chain (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>)-based GameStop Coin exploded 363% over the last 24 hours to a market capitalization of $3.15 million.
Similarly, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based GameStop, with a much higher valuation, rallied over 8%, while its trading volume bounced 46% in the last 24 hours.
It&#8217;s worth noting that these meme coins aren't directly tied to GameStop but rather seek to capitalize on the hype surrounding the meme stock.
Benzinga Note:&nbsp;Investing in meme coins and cryptocurrencies is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and speculative trading

The surge came after Matt Cole, CEO of investment firm Strive Asset Management, sent a letter urging GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen to adopt Bitcoin as a Treasury reserve asset.&nbsp;
Strive, which holds shares of GameStop through its exchange-traded funds, proposed that GameStop utilize its $5 billion-strong cash reserves to invest in Bitcoin, a move that could propel itself &#8220;from meme stock to market leader.&#8221;
Cohen has acknowledged the letter.

GameStop has been one of the most popular retail stocks in recent years, helped by the historic 2021 meme stock craze that saw the stock squeeze higher.

GameStop-Themed Cryptos Soar After Vivek Ramaswamy Co-Founded Firm's CEO Urges Bitcoin Investment: Graduate From Being 'Meme Stock' To Sector Leader

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is working to fix a bug in its AI-powered dictation system after iPhone users reported that saying "racist" caused the word "Trump" to appear briefly before correcting itself.
What Happened: The issue was first noticed on Tuesday, with reports spreading rapidly after a viral TikTok video highlighted the problem.

An Apple spokeswoman attributed the issue to phonetic overlap between the two words and stated that the company is working on a fix, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/technology/iphone-dictation-trump-racist.html">reported</a> the New York Times.

Why It's Important: Last month, Apple had to disable its AI news summarization feature after it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42836957/apple-acknowledges-ai-flaws-after-bbc-complaint-vows-fix-for-misleading-news-summaries">generated inaccurate headlines</a>.
&nbsp;"This smells like a serious prank," John Burkey, a former Apple Siri team member and AI startup founder said about the latest issue, the report noted.&nbsp;
Burkey added, "The only question is: Did someone slip this into the data or slip into the code?"
The timing of the controversy is notable, appearing a day after Apple announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43933072/apple-could-save-11-billion-annually-by-avoiding-tariffs-as-tim-cooks-tech-giant-pledges-500-billion-us-investment-says-top-analyst">$500 billion U.S. investment</a>, which includes plans to manufacture AI servers in Houston, Texas.
