China has called on the United States to entirely withdraw the unilateral tariff measures that a U.S. federal court recently blocked.
What Happened:&nbsp;The Xi Jinping-led nation has requested the United States to &#8220;fully&nbsp;cancel the wrongful unilateral tariff&nbsp;measures,&#8221; as per a report by&nbsp;<a href="https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1806769-20250529.htm?spTabChangeable=0">RTHK</a>&nbsp;on Thursday. This plea follows a U.S. federal court&#8217;s obstruction of most of President Donald Trump&#8216;s extensive tariffs. 
He Yongqian, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce, urged the United States to heed the &#8220;rational voices from the international community and domestic stakeholders.&#8221; She stressed the need for the United States to withdraw the unilateral tariff measures, which she termed &#8216;wrongful&#8217;.
The Trump administration has filed an appeal against the ruling of the Court of International Trade.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s appeal comes in the wake of a significant ruling by a U.S. federal court that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report">nullified </a>global tariffs imposed by President Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. 
The court&#8217;s decision, which emerged from two separate cases, could potentially halt the administration's trade war efforts. The tariffs were challenged by businesses and states, arguing they violated the Constitution's allocation of import duty authority to Congress.
Earlier this month, the U.S. and China agreed to reduce tariffs by 115 percentage points, lowering U.S. duties on Chinese goods to 30%. The move triggered a broad stock market rally, with the S&amp;P 500 recovering to early March 2025 levels and reversing losses from Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement.
Further, economists and legal experts at The Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank, have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45663058/trump-wrong-to-claim-unlimited-power-to-impose-tariffs-says-legal-scholar-economists-also-breathe-sigh-of-relief-after-tariffs-blocked-by-court">expressed </a>their support for the ruling. Ilya Somin, the institute's Chair of Constitutional Studies, who was one of the co-counsels for the plaintiffs in the case, said the decision makes it clear that "the President was wrong to claim a virtually unlimited power to impose tariffs.&#8221;

China Tells US To 'Entirely' Revoke 'Wrongful Unilateral' Tariffs After Court Blocks Trump's 'Liberation Day' Levies

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang said that he believes Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Optimus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536080/elon-musk-says-teslas-optimus-can-learn-tasks-by-watching-youtube-videos-just-like-a-human">humanoid robot</a> could be the first to reach mass adoption and trigger a multi-trillion-dollar industry.
What Happened: Speaking with Bloomberg News on Wednesday, Huang was asked about Tesla's expanding relationship with Nvidia and its potential in robotics, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.
In response, Huang praised Elon Musk and called him "an extraordinary engineer."
"I love working with him," he said, adding, "We&#8217;ve built some amazing computers together. We&#8217;re going to build many more computers together."

What Musk is doing across his ventures, including Grok, his self-driving car initiatives and the Optimus robot, Huang described as world-class, revolutionary, and full of massive potential.
He then underscored Optimus, saying, "This is the first robot that really has a chance to achieve the high volume and technology scale necessary to advance technology," adding, "I think this is likely to be the next multi-trillion dollar industry."

Why It's Important: Earlier this year, Musk said Tesla plans to produce several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43325888/tesla-likely-to-sell-optimus-to-rival-companies-in-2026-price-point-of-humanoid-robot-to-be-detemined-by-demand-says-ceo-elon-musk">thousand units of its Optimus humanoid</a> robot in 2025 for using it internally. Feedback gained from these deployments will help shape the next version, expected to launch in 2026.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">Nvidia also reported first-quarter revenue</a> of $44.1 billion, marking a 69% increase year-over-year and a 12% rise from the previous quarter. The results surpassed Wall Street's consensus estimate of $43.2 billion.
Nvidia has issued guidance for second-quarter revenue at $45.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. This outlook factors in an $8.0 billion loss in H20 revenue resulting from export restrictions.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) announced on Wednesday its acquisition of Enosemi, a move aimed at accelerating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/amd" rel="noreferrer noopener">co-packaged optics innovation for AI systems</a>.
The financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed.
Enosemi, previously an external development partner in photonics, will now join AMD to scale the development and support of photonics and co-packaged optics solutions for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amd.com/en/blogs/2025/amd-acquires-enosemi-to-accelerate-co-packaged-optics-innovation.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">next-generation AI systems</a>.

Enosemi, based in Silicon Valley, has a proven track record of building and shipping photonic integrated circuits in volume, making it an ideal fit for AMD as it pushes deeper into high-performance interconnect innovation.
AMD has been building a portfolio to address the rapidly evolving needs of AI, from foundational silicon to systems-level integration. That journey has included integrating Xilinx&#8217;s AI Engines and adaptive SoC technologies, adding advanced data movement and networking capabilities through Pensando, building a software team with the additions of Silo AI and Mipsology, and scaling complete rack-level system design with the latest acquisition of ZT Systems.
AMD held $6.06 billion in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45237261/amd-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-driven-by-expanding-data-center-ai-momentum-chipmaker-expects-strong-growth-in-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">cash and equivalents</a> as of March 29, 2025.
AMD reported first-quarter revenue of $7.44 billion, up 36%, beating&nbsp;analyst estimates of $7.13 billion. The chipmaker reported first-quarter adjusted earnings of 96 cents per share, beating analyst estimates of 94 cents per share. Gross margin came in at 54% in the quarter.&nbsp;
AMD expects second-quarter revenue of approximately $7.4 billion, plus or minus $300 million versus analyst consensus estimate of $7.24 billion. AMD anticipates a second-quarter adjusted gross margin of 43%, which includes an approximate $800 million impact in charges related to inventory due to new export controls.
Price Action: AMD stock is trading higher by 3.38% to $116.66 premarket at last check Thursday.

Why Nvidia Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 5%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

The President Donald Trump administration announced plans to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students studying in the United States, specifically targeting those with Chinese Communist Party connections or studying in critical fields. 
What Happened: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a Wednesday statement that the administration will &#8220;aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.&#8221; Rubio added that visa criteria will be revised to &#8220;enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People&#8217;s Republic of China and Hong Kong.&#8221;
The State Department ordered U.S. embassies worldwide to stop scheduling new student visa appointments as it prepares to expand social media vetting procedures, according to an internal <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administration-halting-student-visa-appointments-ahead-of-expanded-social-media-vetting/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">memo</a> reviewed by CBS News. 
According to U.S. State Department <a href="https://opendoorsdata.org/data/international-students/all-places-of-origin/">data</a> compiled by the Institute of International Education, approximately 280,000 Chinese students were studying in the U.S. last year, a number that has declined in recent years.
The administration has already terminated Harvard University&#8217;s ability <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45601769/trumps-tax-bill-harvards-international-student-ban-and-musks-ai-in-government-this-week-in-politics">to enroll international students,</a> with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem alleging the university fostered &#8220;violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party.&#8221; Harvard enrolled nearly 6,800 international students in 2024-2025.

Universities rely heavily on international student tuition revenue, with many institutions using these funds to subsidize domestic student costs.
The administration has already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44988134/44-billion-at-risk-trumps-crackdown-on-international-students-threatens-u-s-higher-ed-and-economy">revoked over 1,500 student visas</a> across 222 schools, creating uncertainty for institutions from elite universities to public colleges.

Trump Administration To Revoke Visas Of Chinese Students Tied To CCP Or Critical Fields, Tightens Screening

In a recent interview,&nbsp;General Motors Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) CEO&nbsp;Mary Barra&nbsp;expressed her support for the auto tariffs imposed by President&nbsp;Donald Trump, citing the unfair competition faced by U.S. automakers in the global market.
What Happened: Barra, in an interview <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/general-motors-ceo-defends-trump-auto-tariffs-d6f15ab9?ref=biztoc.com">at</a> The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s Future of Everything event, justified Trump&#8217;s tariffs, arguing that American car manufacturers face an unfair disadvantage because of foreign government subsidies and tax policies.
&#8220;For&nbsp;decades now, it has not&nbsp;been a level playing field&nbsp;for us automakers globally, with&nbsp;either tariffs or non-tariff trade&nbsp;barriers. So I think tariffs&nbsp;is one tool that the&nbsp;administration can use to level&nbsp;the playing field,&#8221; Barra said.
She also acknowledged an improvement in her relationship with Trump during his second term—a notable change for GM, which had previously clashed with the White House over its investments in foreign factories and electric vehicles, both of which ran counter to Trump's policies.
Barra also commended the administration for permitting tariff-free imports of parts from Canada and Mexico, as outlined in the free-trade agreement signed during Trump's first term. She remarked, "They've taken the time to understand our industry."

Why It Matters: GM&#8217;s support for Trump&#8217;s auto tariffs comes at a time when the company is grappling with tariff-related costs. The company could face tariffs of up to $5 billion because nearly half of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. are manufactured in overseas assembly plants. In April, GM&#8217;s CEO also had to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45065788/general-motors-margins-weaken-amid-tariff-uncertainty-ceo-barra-delays-conference-call-on-guidance-uncertainty">delay </a>an earnings call due to weakening margins amid tariff uncertainty.
That being said, GM&#8217;s EV sales have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45581386/gm-ev-sales-surge-in-the-us-amid-5-billion-blow-from-donald-trumps-automotive-tariffs">surged </a>in the U.S. despite these tariffs. The company accounted for over 14.4% of all new EVs sold in the U.S. in April 2025.
Notably, the auto giant has shown commitment to its traditional combustion engine vehicles, with a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45640639/general-motors-to-invest-888-million-in-ny-v-8-engine-plant-despite-surge-in-ev-market-share">$888 million investment</a>&nbsp;in its Tonawanda Propulsion facility, where it manufactures V-8 engines.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, General Motors has a quality score of 78.73% and a momentum rating of 57.28%. Click <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GM">here </a>to see how it compares to other leading tech companies.

Market observers on X are taking note of the disconnect seen in U.S. Treasuries, as a major shift in trade and tariff policies overnight does little to slow the rising yields.
What Happened: In a post on X on Wednesday, The Kobeissi Letter highlighted the surge in U.S. 10-Year Treasury yields, crossing 4.50%, despite the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45660322/trump-tariffs-struck-down-by-federal-court-major-blow-to-white-houses-trade-strategy-report">&#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs being struck down</a> by the U.S. Court of International Trade earlier in the day.
&#8220;The tariffs are struck down by the Court of International Trade, and the 10Y Note Yield instantly rises above 4.50%,&#8221; the post says, underscoring bond investors&#8217; focus on matters beyond just near-term trade policy shifts.

Despite what would typically be seen as a pro-growth ruling, the Treasury sell-off suggests investor concerns are rooted deeper. From uncertainties surrounding the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate path to the increasingly precarious nature of U.S. fiscal discipline, all are likely weighing on the bond markets.
&#8220;Tariffs, no tariffs, trade deals, no trade deals; it doesn't matter. Yields keep rising,&#8221; the post says, highlighting the market&#8217;s growing focus on structural fiscal concerns, over short-term policy headlines.

Why It Matters: A string of glad tidings for the markets and the economy over the past couple of days wasn&#8217;t enough to arrest the persistent rise in Government bond yields. 
Early this week, President Donald Trump&#8217;s decision to delay the 50% reciprocal tariffs on the European Union sent stocks soaring, but treasuries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/05/45604132/10-year-yield-tops-455-despite-trumps-eu-tariff-delay-as-bond-market-signals-fiscal-concerns">continued to witness a selloff</a>, with yields climbing higher, hinting at concerns regarding U.S. fiscal health.
Market analyst and host of CNBC&#8217;s Mad Money, Jim Cramer, said last week that investors should brace for more volatility, as the 10-Year yields touched 4.75%. 
&#8220;We will have to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45585881/jim-cramer-says-we-will-have-to-flirt-with-475-10-year-yields-as-one-big-beautiful-bill-moves-to-senate-get-used-to-it">endure more torture</a> over the senate and more days where we ‘flirt' with 4.75% for the ten,&#8221; he said, referring to the passage of the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; which proposes tax cuts alongside more Federal spending, leading the Congressional Budget Office to conclude that it would add an estimated $3.8 trillion to the national debt. 
Price Action: U.S. 10-Year Treasury yields currently stand at 4.519% as of writing this, with the 20-Year and 30-Year notes at 5.031% and 5.01%, respectively.

Treasury Yields Climb Despite Tariffs Being Blocked, Highlighting Market's Deeper Fiscal Fears

President Donald Trump responded to Elon Musk's criticism of his "big, beautiful bill" by highlighting political obstacles and expressing his own mixed feelings about its provisions.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Trump was questioned about Musk's reaction to the bill during an exchange at the Oval Office, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5321892-trump-musk-big-beautiful-bill/">reports</a>. In a recent interview, Musk said he was "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45635854/elon-musk-disappointed-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-undermines-the-work-that-the-doge-team-is-doing">disappointed to see the massive spending bill</a>" and said it  "undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing."
Without directly addressing Musk's concerns, Trump said: "Well, our reaction's a lot of things." "Number one, we have to get a lot of votes, we can't be cutting — we need to get a lot of support and we have a lot of support," he added, highlighting the absence of Democratic support. "If it was up to the Democrats, they'll take the 65 percent increase," he said.
The bill, which increases the debt ceiling by $4 trillion, moved through the House after complicated negotiations and is now under Senate review.

Why It Matters: Musk, who announced his decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">step down from his role</a> at the Trump administration, said, "I don't think a bill can be both big and beautiful."
Trump acknowledged the bill's shortcomings but also defended certain parts of it: "We will be negotiating that bill, and I'm not happy about certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of it," he said. "That's the way it goes. It's very big, it's the big, beautiful, but the beautiful is because of all the things that we have."
Praising leaders like Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Trump highlighted the scale of the effort: "I think we have an amazing — if we pull this off." "The Senate, as you know, is negotiating with us, and they have to then go back to the House and you know, it's got a way to go," he added.
Musk's criticism and Trump's response come just as controversy surrounding the bill reaches new heights, with Trump advisor David Sacks admitting that the bill includes massive cuts to Medicaid even as Johnson and Trump claim it doesn't. Some GOP Senators have also expressed dissatisfaction with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45604917/gop-senators-threaten-to-block-trumps-sweeping-tax-and-spending-bill-over-deficit-medicaid-cuts-and-debt-ceiling-hike" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">provisions related to spending cuts.</a>

Trump Reacts To Musk's Disappointment With 'Big, Beautiful Bill', Says 'We Have To Get A Lot Of Votes'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) experienced an 87% decline in sales in the Canadian province of Quebec as Elon Musk's company continues to battle sales woes.
What Happened: Tesla delivered 524 vehicles in Quebec in Q1 2025, an 87% year-on-year decline compared to last year, according <a href="https://www.ledevoir.com/economie/882790/quebec-tourne-massivement-dos-tesla?">to</a> data obtained by Le Devoir.
The report suggests that the decline in sales is a result of Musk's close involvement with U.S. President Donald Trump, but also because Quebec as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44488018/canada-bars-tesla-from-ev-rebates-programs-in-response-to-illegitimate-and-illegal-us-tariffs">Canadian governments ended key incentives</a> for the company&#8217;s EVs in the province.
The report also mentions that new registrations for Tesla vehicles in Quebec fell to a two-year low, signaling increased avoidance among potential EV buyers for Musk's company.
Why It Matters: Tesla has been grappling with declining sales figures in multiple markets across the world. Recently, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/05/45616006/teslas-european-woes-see-no-end-april-sales-crash-49-as-rivals-race-ahead-in-ev-market">company's sales fell 49% </a>in Europe in April 2025 as BEVs recorded a surge in market share in the region.
This comes in as Tesla rival BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45564693/byd-outsells-elon-musks-tesla-amid-european-plans-shift-into-gear">overtook the company</a> in sales for the first time ever in Europe as the Chinese EV giant continues to expand into the European market.
Despite the declining sales in most regions, Tesla has maintained a strong growth in vehicle sales in the Chinese domestic market as the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45614051/tesla-bull-gary-black-weighs-in-as-elon-musks-ev-giant-logs-over-11000-new-registrations-for-straight-second-week">registered over 11,000 new sales</a> for two consecutive weeks, which could provide some relief to the company ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45662671/tesla-targets-june-12-for-robotaxi-launch-in-austin-elon-musk-says-company-ramped-up-fsd-testing-a-month-ahead-of-schedule">June Robotaxi launch</a>.

Tesla Deliveries Drop 87% In Quebec in Q1, Hitting 2-Year Low Amid Incentive Cuts, Musk's Political Ties

The President Donald Trump administration terminated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43999106/trumps-officials-to-re-consider-modernas-590-million-bird-flu-vaccine-funding-hhs-cites-biden-administrations-failed-oversight">nearly $600 million contract</a> to Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) for developing an mRNA-based bird flu vaccine, ending a key former President Joe Biden-era pandemic preparedness initiative.
What Happened: Health and Human Services officials canceled Moderna&#8217;s $590 million contract for bird flu vaccine development, the company announced on Wednesday.
Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel stated: &#8220;While the termination of funding from HHS adds uncertainty, we are pleased by the robust immune response and safety profile observed in this interim analysis of the Phase 1/2 study of our H5 avian flu vaccine and we will explore alternative paths forward for the program.&#8221;
The company reported that clinical testing in approximately 300 adults showed participants achieved nearly 98% immunity within three weeks of the second vaccine dose, with the treatment being generally well-tolerated.
Trump administration officials had previously indicated they were reviewing all contracts from the prior administration. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.-led HHS criticized the review as necessary due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43999106/trumps-officials-to-re-consider-modernas-590-million-bird-flu-vaccine-funding-hhs-cites-biden-administrations-failed-oversight">&#8220;four years of the Biden administration&#8217;s </a>failed oversight&#8221; of mRNA vaccine expenditures.

Why It Matters: The contract termination threatens pandemic preparedness as H5N1 continues spreading. The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority awarded the January funds to create defenses against strains circulating in livestock and birds. This followed an earlier $176 million bird flu vaccine development award granted in July.
 The CDC has confirmed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43046294/bird-flu-raising-red-flags-among-health-officials-cdc-urges-faster-testing?utm_source=chatgpt.com">67 human bird flu cases since 2024</a>, with the first U.S. death reported in Louisiana, highlighting the ongoing public health threat.
Other vaccine manufacturers are also developing bird flu vaccines, including Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) and CureVac N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVAC#NASDAQ">CVAC</a>), both with vaccines in clinical trials.

Foot Locker Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

C3.ai Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AI#NYSE">AI</a>) said that it was positioning itself to tap the $47 billion growing market of AI agents by 2030. The company also highlighted key achievements that were made in collaboration with its &#8220;army of partners.&#8221;
What Happened: The enterprise AI application pure-play announced strong fourth-quarter and full fiscal year 2025 results, revealing its Agentic AI solutions business is already annualizing at an impressive $60 million in recurring revenue.
Speaking during the company&#8217;s fourth quarter earnings call, Chairman and CEO Tom Siebel expressed strong confidence in C3.ai&#8217;s advantageous position.
&#8220;We have today, I think, over 100 Agentic AI solutions deployed out there in defense, in intelligence, in state government, in local government, in manufacturing, in oil and gas, in paper and pulp, and this is a large and rapidly growing business,&#8221; Siebel stated.
He added, &#8220;As of the fourth quarter, this is about a $60 million ARR business. We have, depending on how you count, someplace between 20 and 100 Agentic AI solutions out there in production, in the hands of happy customers.&#8221;
Siebel also said that the company was setting its sights squarely on the burgeoning Agentic AI market, a segment projected to reach a staggering $47.1 billion by 2030, according to Gartner. &#8220;We are well positioned to capitalize on this trend through our production ready solutions,&#8221; he said.
Furthermore, C3.ai highlighted its unique market position, with Siebel stating, &#8220;We&#8217;re the only enterprise AI application pure play that&#8217;s out there. We&#8217;re selling, I think, today in over 600 accounts as of today that we&#8217;re jointly selling with Microsoft.&#8221;
Citing its &#8220;army of partners,&#8221; Siebel highlighted the growth it has achieved because of them.
The robust partner ecosystem, including deepened alliances with Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure, Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS, Alphabet Inc.&#8216;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>) Google Cloud, McKinsey&#8216;s QuantumBlack, and a new strategic alliance with PwC, collectively drove 73% of agreements in the past year.

Large Caps – Here's A Look At The Valuations</a>
Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657936/c3-ai-stock-jumps-after-q4-results-top-estimates">C3.AI beat analyst estimates</a> on both the top and bottom lines for the fourth quarter. Its fourth quarter revenue came in at $108.7 million, versus estimates of $107.73 million, whereas it reported an adjusted loss of 18 cents, versus estimates of a 20-cent loss.
The company expects first-quarter revenue in the range of $100 million to $109 million, versus the estimates of $105 million. Its fiscal-year 2026 revenue is in the range of $447.5 million to $484.5 million, versus estimates of $467.19 million.
C3.ai shares dropped 3.76% on Wednesday and rose 12.42% in after-hours. It was 33.60% lower on a year-to-date basis and down 3.76% over a year.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that C3.ai had a stronger price trend over the short and medium term but a weaker trend over the long term. Its momentum ranking was poor, and its value ranking was moderate at the 52.69th percentile.

C3.ai Eyes $47 Billion Agentic AI Market By 2030 With $60 Million ARR: 'We Are Well Positioned To Capitalize,' Says CEO

In the wake of a difficult phase at Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), a group of leading pension funds is urging CEO Elon Musk to commit at least 40 hours a week to the automaker. 
What Happened:  A group of major pension funds, managing approximately $950 billion in assets, has sent a letter to Tesla&#8217;s chair, Robyn Denholm, urging for corporate governance reforms to address the current turmoil at the electric vehicle manufacturer, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6b528d41-7b0b-43d5-8eac-8bba4c9dcb96">reported</a> the Financial Times.
The letter, signed by 12 long-term institutional investors, which include the New York City Comptroller and the American Federation of Teachers, highlights the need for Musk&#8217;s full-time commitment to Tesla. This demand is seen as a significant escalation in the investors&#8217; efforts to bring about change at the company.
The letter states, &#8220;The current crisis at Tesla puts into sharp focus the long-term problems at the company stemming from the CEO's absence, which is amplified by a Board that appears largely uninterested and unwilling to act in the best interest of all Tesla shareholders by demanding Musk's full-time attention on Tesla.&#8221;
The letter further urged Tesla&#8217;s board to create a succession plan for top executives&nbsp;and appoint a new director&nbsp;who is &#8220;truly independent…with no personal ties to&nbsp;other board members&#8221;.
The pension funds also proposed that Musk&#8217;s new compensation plan should require him to dedicate&nbsp;at least 40 hours a&nbsp;week to Tesla. They worry that his&nbsp;leadership roles at four private&nbsp;companies and his foundation could distract him from his responsibilities at Tesla.

Why It Matters: Despite holding only 0.25% of Tesla&#8217;s shares, the investors&#8217; move underscores the impact of Musk&#8217;s controversial political stance on the company. In May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">reports surfaced</a> that Tesla&#8217;s board had considered replacing Musk as CEO due to significant financial setbacks. However, Musk and Chair Robyn Denholm denied these claims.
The pension funds&#8217; demand for Musk&#8217;s full-time commitment to Tesla underscores the crucial role he plays in the company&#8217;s success and stability. Last week, Musk wrote on X, "Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on X/xAI and Tesla . . . as we have critical technologies rolling out." However, he did not mention the exact amount of time he plans to dedicate to Tesla. 
On Wednesday, Musk announced the end of his role as Special Government Employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), sparking a 2.9% increase in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">Tesla&#8217;s stock</a> in overnight trading. This move was seen as a positive sign of Musk&#8217;s renewed focus on Tesla&#8217;s operations. Despite a recent surge, Tesla&#8217;s shares remain 26.5% below their December peak.
