<h3>About Costco Wholesale</h3>

Costco operates over 600 warehouses in the United States and boasts over 60% market share in the domestic warehouse club industry. Internationally, Costco operates another 280 warehouses, primarily in markets such as Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the UK.

BofA Securities analyst Justin Post maintained a Buy rating on Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UBER/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $96</a> after the ride-hailing giant announced a partnership with NVDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) to collaborate on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42839556/uber-and-nvidia-partner-on-ai-technology-for-autonomous-cars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">autonomous vehicle enablement</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="650" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08111853/newplot-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-724422" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08111853/newplot-2.png 750w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08111853/newplot-2-300x260.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>
The price target reflects a 20 times 2026E FCF multiple, which Post deems reasonable versus the FANG average of 28 times, given Uber&#8217;s strong 2026E EBITDA growth outlook of 28% versus the FANG average of 17%.
The collaboration is focusing on supporting the development of AI-powered autonomous driving (AVs), pairing Uber&#8217;s dataset of millions of daily trips with Nvidia&#8217;s new Cosmos platform (first announced at CES) and Nvidia DGX Cloud.
Cosmos is Nvidia&#8217;s new generative AI platform. It focuses on &#8220;physical AI systems,&#8221; creating synthetic environments and eliminating cost barriers to developing advanced robotics.

Nvidia DGX Cloud offers a fully managed AI platform preconfigured with advanced Nvidia architecture and software on &#8220;an open platform&#8221; for AI model development across multi-cloud environments.
Uber will likely commit significant resources, given the importance of this strategy to the business.
Nvidia chief Jensen Huang noted at CES that Cosmos is the world&#8217;s first foundational model tailored explicitly for &#8220;Physical AI.&#8221; He said autonomous vehicles will be the first multi-trillion-dollar robotics industry. He announced a partnership with Toyota, with Toyota&#8217;s next-gen vehicles using Nvidia&#8217;s Drive AGX Orin supercomputers and operating system DriveOS for real-time AI processing and integration of advanced driving and cockpit features. 
He also announced a next-gen chip tailored for AVs called &#8220;Drive Thor,&#8221; an advancement from its prior &#8220;Drive Orin&#8221; chip, enabling auto OEMs to more efficiently consolidate multiple functions in a single system, reducing overall system cost.
The variety of AV partnerships and products announced at CES underscores Post&#8217;s thesis that multiple auto OEMs will integrate Level 4 self-driving technology long term, providing Uber with multiple available partners in AV ridesharing, including Uber, Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), Aurora Innovation, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AUR#NASDAQ">AUR</a>) with its self-driving trucks, and automotive supplier Continental. With numerous new AV competitors — Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox — Post noted auto OEMs will increasingly focus on integrating Level 4 autonomy.
For Uber, providing data and ride imaging/video in an increasingly open-sourced manner could help auto OEMs reach Level 4 more quickly and effectively reduce the likelihood of a &#8220;Walled Garden&#8221; outcome for only one OEM. Uber&#8217;s data could also have an advantage in addressing the ridesharing use case, with higher-quality data on the most essential trips and routes for ride-hailing. 
Uber is one of Post&#8217;s top picks for 2025.
UBER Price Action: Uber stock is down by 2.72% at $64.35 at publication Wednesday.

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAES#NASDAQ">LAES</a>) shares are trading lower on Wednesday, reflecting a broader <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42878295" rel="noreferrer noopener">decline in quantum computing stocks.</a>
This follows comments made by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang at an investor event on Tuesday, where he suggested that a fully functional quantum computer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42879725/nvidia-ceo-sends-quantum-stocks-lower-poll-finds-over-50-pick-rigetti-or-skip-for-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">could still be 15 to 30 years away.</a>
Huang&#8217;s cautionary statement has led to a more cautious sentiment around the quantum computing sector, which has seen significant investor enthusiasm in recent years, similar to the artificial intelligence boom.
Meanwhile, SEALSQ is making strides in another area: the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42872626" rel="noreferrer noopener">distribution of its secure chips.</a>
The company has launched its VaultIC secure microcontrollers and related development boards on DigiKey.

DigiKey&#8217;s extensive platform reaches over 900,000 active customers worldwide across industries like automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics.
This move will increase SEALSQ&#8217;s visibility and accessibility, providing engineers and designers with secure semiconductor solutions for their products.
Additionally, SEALSQ is advancing the development of its post-quantum Trusted Platform Module, slated for release in 2025.
The company&#8217;s partnership with DigiKey ensures a streamlined route for these quantum-resistant solutions to reach the market, reinforcing SEALSQ&#8217;s commitment to future-proof security.
Franck Buonnanno, SEALSQ&#8217;s VP of Sales, emphasized that this partnership marks just the beginning, with plans for further product offerings, including next-generation secure microcontrollers.
Price Action: LAES shares are trading lower by 40% to $4.288 at last check Wednesday.

("Catalyst" or "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPRX#NASDAQ">CPRX</a>), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on in-licensing, developing, and commercializing novel medicines for patients living with rare and difficult-to-treat diseases, today announced that the Company and its licensor SERB S.A. ("SERB") have entered into a Settlement Agreement (Agreement) with Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively Teva). This Agreement resolves the patent litigation brought by Catalyst and SERB in response to Teva's Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking approval to market a generic version of FIRDAPSE&#xAE; (amifampridine) 10 mg tablets prior to expiration of the applicable patents.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Teva will not market its generic version of FIRDAPSE in the United States any earlier than February 25, 2035, if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), unless certain limited circumstances customarily included in these types of agreements occur. In accordance with the Agreement, the parties will terminate all ongoing patent litigation between Catalyst/SERB and Teva regarding FIRDAPSE patents pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The pending FIRDAPSE patent litigation against the remaining defendants, Hetero (for all of FIRDAPSE's Orange Book-listed patents) and Lupin (only for Catalyst's FIRDAPSE patent expiring in 2037), is ongoing.
