Shares of software companies are trading lower possibly amid overall market weakness. Multiple software stocks fell after Q3 financial results.

Last week, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) issued its third quarter results, topping both&nbsp;sales and earnings&nbsp;estimates as well as posting a better-than-expected current quarter guidance as its end-customers, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Open AI and&nbsp;Oracle Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/orcl#NYSE">ORCL</a>), have started receiving its next-generation AI chip, the mighty Blackwell, that is now in full production.
<h3>Third Quarter Highlights</h3>
For the quarter ended on October 27th, Nvidia reported its revenue surged 94% YoY&nbsp;&nbsp;to&nbsp;$35.08 billion, surpassing LSEG&rsquo;s estimate of&nbsp;$33.16 billion. But, this is a quarterly slowdown as sales rose 122%, 262%, and 265% during previous quarters respectively. The date center business that is at the heart of the AI hype brought in $30.8 billion with sales rising 112%&nbsp;YoY and surpassing StreetAccount&rsquo;s estimate of $28.82 billion. But not all of that revenue is made of chips that power AI development as&nbsp;$3.1 billion&nbsp;of that sales figure was brought in by networking parts. Gaming business brought $3.28 billion&nbsp;to the revenue table. While automotive and professional visualization businesses&nbsp;remain much smaller, automotive sales grew 72% YoY to $449 million while the later reported 17% YoY growth, bringing in sales of $486 million.
Net income more than doubled from last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter as it amounted to $19.3 billion. While net income jumped from last year&rsquo;s&nbsp;37 cents&nbsp;per share to 70 cents per share,&nbsp;adjusted earnings per share amounted to 81 cents, also topping LSEG&rsquo;s estimate of 75 cents. Due to selling more chips, gross margin expanded to 73.5%.
<h3>Fourth Quarter Outlook</h3>
Nvidia guided for current quarter sales of about $37.5 billion plus or minus 2%. Outlook implies YoY growth of about 70%, which is a&nbsp;slowdown from last year&rsquo;s comparable quarter when growth amounted to 265%.
Nvidia&rsquo;s AI dominance remains intact.
It&rsquo;s a well-known fact that Nvidia is a&nbsp;primary beneficiary of the ongoing AI hype, with shares nearly tripling year to date. Blackwell shipments are in for a ramp up next year, but already in the current quarter, Nvidia is in &ldquo;several billion dollars&rdquo; of Blackwell revenue. Demand for Blackwell is expected to exceed supply for several quarters in the next fiscal year. Now for how long can Nvidia&rsquo;s AI dominance continue to soar is a different question only time is able to answer.&nbsp;

Oracle's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

Editor&#8217;s Note: The price of Palantir stock has been updated to reflect its current value of approximately $65.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has reaffirmed his $75 price target on Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), citing strong growth potential amid the AI revolution.
What Happened: On Monday, while appearing in a segment of CNBC, Ives argued that the market is undervaluing Palantir&#8217;s potential, especially in the software sector.
He highlighted that the company&#8217;s enterprise solutions could generate billions in revenue, positioning Palantir as a future leader like Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>).&nbsp;
Despite the current market price hovering around $65, Ives remains optimistic about Palantir&#8217;s growth trajectory in the coming years.

He acknowledged the skepticism from bears but maintained that the company&#8217;s advancements in AI and software use cases are unparalleled.
"The haters will continue to hate," Ives said, adding, "They are still underestimating when it comes to the software, the use cases." He continued by saying that there's no product out there that matches what Palantir has done with AIP.

Palantir&#8217;s Advanced Intelligence Platform or AIP, introduced in April 2023, integrates advanced AI features like large language models into the company's Foundry and Gotham platforms. It aims to streamline decision-making in sectors such as defense and intelligence.
Why It Matters: The endorsement from Ives comes as Palantir experiences a remarkable ascent, with its stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42156160/palantir-price-target-raised-to-75-by-dan-ives-amid-288-ytd-surge-analyst-calls-2025-a-primetime-year-for-ai">surging 289.928% year-to-date</a>.
Ives has previously raised Palantir's price target to $75, highlighting 2025 as a pivotal year for AI implementation across the industry.
This optimism is shared with other software companies like Elastic NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESTC#NYSE">ESTC</a>) and Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), which were also upgraded to Buy ratings.
Despite the bullish outlook, some analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/11/42039361/palantir-soars-to-150b-market-cap-as-analysts-flag-risks-in-valuation-insider-sales">flagged risks in Palantir&#8217;s valuation</a>. Hedge fund titans like Renaissance Technologies and ARK Investment Management have trimmed their stakes, selling over 3 million shares in the third quarter, although they still hold significant positions.
Palantir&#8217;s third-quarter earnings report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele">showed a revenue beat</a>, with total revenue up 30% year-over-year, driven by &#8220;unrelenting AI demand.&#8221;
U.S. revenue grew 44% year-over-year, with commercial and government sectors showing significant growth, further supporting Ives&#8217; bullish stance.
Price Action: Palantir's stock finished Monday at $64.65, up 0.47% during regular trading. However, it dropped 1.24% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Dan Ives Defends $75 Palantir Target Amid AI Revolution And Revenue Surge: 'Haters Will Continue To Hate' (CORRECTED)

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the company&#8217;s quarter-century presence in China&#8217;s technology ecosystem during a speech at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, highlighting how the region helped shape the now-dominant artificial intelligence chip giant.
What Happened: Speaking at HKUST&#8217;s 2024 Congregation, Huang <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gYHTjbguM8">revealed</a> that Nvidia&#8217;s design centers in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shenzhen have been instrumental in building both the company and China&#8217;s broader technology landscape. 
&#8220;We&#8217;ve had the benefit, the great joy, and the privilege of watching the amazing technology industry form in China,&#8221; Huang said.
The comments come as Nvidia rides unprecedented demand for its AI chips, with recent third-quarter revenue reaching $35.1 billion, up 94% year-over-year. The company&#8217;s data center segment alone generated $30.8 billion, underlining its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42102796/nvidia-projects-gross-margin-recovery-as-blackwell-systems-drive-unprecedented-ai-demand">dominance in AI computing infrastructure</a>.

Why It Matters: Previously, Huang disclosed a significant missed opportunity during an AI summit in Tokyo. He expressed regret at declining SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son&#8216;s offer years ago to finance a complete buyout of Nvidia, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41962451/nvidias-ceo-reveals-the-massive-deal-he-missed-and-why-it-is-today-a-3-6-trillion-regret">now valued at $3.6 trillion</a>.
The CEO&#8217;s remarks at HKUST highlighted AI&#8217;s transformative impact across industries, citing recent Nobel Prize victories in physics and chemistry related to neural networks and protein prediction. &#8220;AI is certainly the most important technology of our time and potentially of all time,&#8221; Huang stated.
Wall Street remains bullish on Nvidia&#8217;s trajectory, with Wedbush analyst Dan Ives describing recent results as a &#8220;jaw-dropper.&#8221; The company projects <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42129914/jim-cramer-doubles-down-on-nvidia-demand-is-accelerating-as-ai-customers-have-no-choice-but-to-buy-its-chips">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $37.5 billion, supported by major deployments like Oracle Corp.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) planned AI computing clusters using over 131,000 Blackwell GPUs.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged more than 194.69% year-to-date, outperforming other major tech companies including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).

Jensen Huang Credits China's 'Amazing' Tech Ecosystem For Helping Shape AI Giant Nvidia

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) continues to dominate the artificial intelligence landscape, with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer and Wall Street analysts reinforcing their bullish outlook following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">the company&#8217;s stellar third-quarter earnings report</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;The demand is accelerating because the payoff is so great,&#8221; Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/21/demand-for-nvidia-products-isnt-letting-up-jim-cramer-says.html">said</a> on Thursday, citing CEO Jensen Huang&#8216;s assertion that customers earn five dollars for every dollar invested in Nvidia chips. 
This compelling return on investment, Cramer argues, makes Nvidia&#8217;s products essential for major tech companies. &#8220;That means they have no choice but to buy Nvidia's chips,&#8221; he said. 
The sentiment is echoed by Wedbush&#8216;s Dan Ives, who called the results a &#8220;jaw-dropper.&#8221; Ives predicts the Nasdaq could surge to 25,000, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42102642/nvidia-delivered-jaw-dropping-q3-earnings-says-dan-ives-this-is-the-fourth-revolution-playing-out-in-front-of-our-eyes">driven by an extraordinary multiplier effect</a> where &#8220;one dollar spent on GPU chips translates to an $8 to $10 impact across the tech sector.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Nvidia reported third-quarter revenue of $35.1 billion, up 94% year-over-year, with Data Center revenue alone reaching $30.8 billion. The company&#8217;s CFO Colette Kress projects gross margins will temporarily dip to the low 70% range as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42102796/nvidia-projects-gross-margin-recovery-as-blackwell-systems-drive-unprecedented-ai-demand">new Blackwell systems ramp up production</a>.
Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann maintained a Buy rating while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42121003/nvidia-to-rally-more-than-50-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-thursday">raising the price target</a> from $200 to $220. 
This optimism is reflected in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42121665/could-another-magnificent-7-stock-beat-nvidia-in-2025-poll-says-not-likely-27-pick-this-potential-winner">recent Benzinga poll</a>, where 48% of respondents believed Nvidia would continue to dominate the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; stocks in 2025, followed by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) at 27%.
Huang describes this period as &#8220;the beginnings of two fundamental shifts in computing,&#8221; highlighting the transition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42102796/nvidia-projects-gross-margin-recovery-as-blackwell-systems-drive-unprecedented-ai-demand">machine learning and AI&#8217;s emergence</a> as an industrial capability. The company projects fourth-quarter revenue of $37.5 billion, with Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) already planning AI computing clusters scaling to over 131,000 Blackwell GPUs.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged more than 196% year-to-date, significantly outperforming the broader market and its &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; peers, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) at 23.3% and Microsoft Corp.

Smart Money Is Betting Big In ORCL Options

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) revealed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">robust financial performance</a> and optimistic outlook, driven by an unprecedented wave of artificial intelligence infrastructure demand centered around its groundbreaking Blackwell systems.
What Happened: Nvidia reported a staggering $35.1 billion in revenue for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">the third quarter</a>, representing a remarkable 94% year-over-year increase. Data Center revenue alone reached $30.8 billion, up an astounding 112% from the previous year. 
CEO Jensen Huang described the current moment as &#8220;the beginnings of two fundamental shifts in computing,&#8221; highlighting the transition from traditional coding to machine learning and the emergence of AI as a new industrial capability.
The company&#8217;s new Blackwell systems are at the center of this transformation. Huang noted that while they shipped zero Blackwell systems last quarter, they are now shipping billions of dollars worth, with demand &#8220;staggering&#8221; and supply racing to keep up. Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) has already announced plans for AI computing clusters that can scale to over 131,000 Blackwell GPUs.

One of the most closely watched aspects of the earnings call was Nvidia&#8217;s gross margin projection. CFO Colette Kress provided clarity, stating that as Blackwell ramps up, gross margins will temporarily dip to the low 70% range—potentially around 71-72.5%—before quickly recovering to the mid-70s.
&#8220;We will start growing into our gross margins,&#8221; Kress explained, &#8220;and we hope to get to the mid-70s quite quickly as part of that ramp.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s fourth-quarter revenue is projected at $37.5 billion, with continued strong demand for both Hopper and Blackwell systems. The company expects to ship more Blackwell systems in each subsequent quarter, indicating a robust and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42102642/nvidia-delivered-jaw-dropping-q3-earnings-says-dan-ives-this-is-the-fourth-revolution-playing-out-in-front-of-our-eyes">ccelerating adoption curve</a>.
The company sees massive potential in modernizing global computing infrastructure for AI. Huang suggested that by 2030, computing data centers could be worth a couple of trillion dollars, with a multi-year transformation ahead.
&#8220;We&#8217;re going to continue to build out to modernize IT,&#8221; Huang stated, &#8220;and then create these AI factories that are going to be for a new industry for the production of artificial intelligence.&#8221;
Price Action: Nvidia's stock closed at $145.89 on Wednesday, down 0.76% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped further by 2.53%. Year to date, Nvidia's stock has surged 202.86%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Says The Present Time Is 'The Beginnings Of Two Fundamental Shifts In Computing' As Blackwell Powers Explosive AI Demand

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has once again defied market expectations, delivering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">blockbuster third-quarter performance</a> that tech analysts are calling a watershed moment for artificial intelligence.
What Happened: Wedbush Securities Managing Director Dan Ives described the results as a &#8220;jaw-dropper,&#8221; emphasizing the transformative potential of the company&#8217;s AI technology. &#8220;This is the fourth revolution playing out in front of our eyes,&#8221; Ives told CNN, <a href="https://x.com/jchatterleyCNN/status/1859386289315053838">highlighting</a> the broader implications for the tech sector.
Referring to Nvidia&#8217;s CEO Jensen Huang as the &#8220;Godfather of AI,&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/DivesTech/status/1859387551351546328">described</a> the company&#8217;s performance as a transformative moment.
Ives boldly predicted a Nasdaq surge to 25,000, driven by the &#8220;fourth revolution&#8221; in technology. &#8220;This is the rally, get ready,&#8221; he emphasized, highlighting an extraordinary economic multiplier where &#8220;one dollar spent on GPU chips translates to an $8 to $10 impact across the tech sector.&#8221; The analyst believes the market is underestimating demand for AI technologies in the next 12 to 18 months.
The analyst addressed potential risks to the AI boom, noting initial market nervousness about high spending and profitability concerns. However, he sees improving confidence, citing companies like Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>), and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) as positive indicators.
Geopolitical concerns, particularly around China and potential tariffs, remain a consideration. Yet, Ives found reassurance in diplomatic channels, specifically mentioning Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s involvement in negotiations, which he believes will help mitigate potential challenges.
Nvidia reported third-quarter revenue of $35.1 billion, a 94% increase year-over-year, significantly exceeding Street consensus estimates of $33.12 billion. The company delivered earnings per share of 81 cents, beating analyst expectations of 75 cents.
Prior to Nvidia&#8217;s third-quarter earnings, Ives <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/11/20/nvidias-quarterly-report-will-be-drop-the-mic-moment-says-wedbushs-dan-ives.html?__source=sharebar&#x7C;twitter&amp;par=sharebar">told</a> CNBC that the company&#8217;s pathway to a $4 trillion valuation &#8220;begins today&#8221; with a &#8220;drop the mic performance.&#8221; He emphasized Nvidia&#8217;s unparalleled market dominance, stating they are &#8220;the only game in town&#8221; in AI chip development.
The company&#8217;s Blackwell product line, which Ives highlighted as critical, is now in full production.
Why It Matters: The analyst&#8217;s commentary went beyond dry financial analysis, sprinkled with his trademark flair. In a moment that captured both his tech insight and unexpected humor, Ives even ventured into fashion advice for President-elect Donald Trump.
The earnings report marks Nvidia&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">ninth consecutive quarter</a> beating revenue estimates and eighth straight quarter exceeding earnings per share expectations.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock closed at $145.89 on Wednesday, down 0.76% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped further by 2.53%. Year to date, Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged 202.86%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Oracle

Elon Musk&#8216;s fortune skyrocketed past $300 billion on Friday, fueled by a sharp rally in Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)'s stock after Donald Trump's election as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41813356/elon-musks-net-worth-soars-by-26-5-billion-in-single-day-after-tesla-stock-surges-post-trump-vic">the 47th U.S. president.</a>
According to Forbes&#8217; Real-Time Billionaires List, Musk&#8217;s net worth reached $305 billion — distantly followed by Oracle Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) co-founder Larry Ellison at around $231 billion, and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)'s Jeff Bezos, who trails at approximately $225 billion.
Musk is now more than $100 billion richer than Meta Platform Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The electric carmaker's shares rocketed nearly 30% over the week, driving the company's market capitalization beyond the $1 trillion mark and delivering Musk a massive windfall.
Other than deriving much of his wealth from Tesla, Musk has also diversified his fortune in SpaceX, founded in 2002, which is worth nearly $210 billion based on a tender offer launched during the second half of 2024. Musk owns an estimated 42% stake.
Musk bought Twitter in a $44 billion (enterprise value) deal in 2022, although Forbes estimates that the social media company, which he renamed X, is worth nearly 70% less <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41603930/trump-vs-musk-djt-stock-worth-more-than-latest-x-valuation-thanks-to-2024-election-run-up">as of August 2024</a>.
Musk owns an estimated 60% of xAI, which he founded in 2023. Private investors valued the company at $24 billion in May 2024.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Trump's Victory Was A Big Win For Musk</h3>
Trump's stance on tariffs, specifically on vehicles imported from Europe and China, could potentially make it tougher for foreign carmakers to compete in the U.S. market — an advantage that could drive up Tesla's market share on its home turf.
A Trump presidency would likely mean the end of EV subsidies and tax credits during Tesla&#8217;s second-quarter earnings call.
The impact would be slight for Tesla and devastating for its competitors. &#8220;But long term probably actually helps Tesla, would be my guess, yes,&#8221; Musk has said.
Musk has also been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41766808/mark-cuban-congratulates-trump-musk-before-the-election-is-called-says-they-won-fair-and-square">an active political backer</a> for Trump's 2024 campaign, reportedly donating over $130 million to support his re-election efforts.
Trump&#8217;s victory speech didn't shy away from showing gratitude either. 
As Forbes highlighted, Trump took nearly 4 minutes in his first speech to praise Musk, calling him a "super genius" and highlighting Tesla's achievements, from SpaceX's rocket launches to the expanding satellite internet network.
"A star is born — Elon!" Trump declared.
Musk has expressed enthusiasm about heading a proposed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), where he'd lead efforts to trim wasteful spending from the federal budget. Trump touted Musk as the ideal candidate to serve as the "Secretary of Cost-Cutting," potentially overseeing an ambitious plan to slash $2 trillion in federal expenses.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Musk&#8217;s Wealth Outpaces 475 S&amp;P 500 Companies</h3>
To put his wealth into perspective, Musk could theoretically buy out companies in the S&amp;P 500 with valuations smaller than his own, a list as big as 474 names.
Major corporations like Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), valued at $287 billion, and The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) at $276 billion, are now "within reach" for Musk's personal fortune.
With $305 billion, Musk could also theoretically acquire three companies in the $100 billion range, like Prologis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLD#NYSE">PLD</a>), Deere &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>) and Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), with cash to spare.
