GeneDx Hldgs (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WGS#NASDAQ">WGS</a>) raises FY2024 sales outlook from $220.00 million-230.00 million to $235.00 million-245.00 million.

GeneDx Hldgs Raises FY2024 Sales Guidance from $220.00M-$230.00M To $235.00M-$245.00M

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) recent achievement in passing a significant milestone for its full self-driving (FSD) technology in China sparked discussions among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/news">investors and enthusiasts</a>. 
The news, which caused Tesla&#8217;s share price to spike more than 15% on Monday, comes as the electric car maker continues to navigate the competitive Chinese market.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Win For Tesla</h1>
The breakthrough in China raises expectations that Tesla&#8217;s FSD technology will soon be available in the country. China is Tesla&#8217;s largest market for electric vehicles.
Investors see this move as a strategic win for Tesla. Especially since it comes at a time when it is facing stiff competition from local rivals such as BYD Co Ltd (OTCPK:BYDDF) (OTCPK:BYDDY), Nio Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), and Xpeng Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>).
However, some investors remain cautious about the impact of this development on Tesla&#8217;s stock.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">May Not Be The Catalyst To Drive Further Gains, Says Redditor</h1>
The Redditor known as Puginator <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1cfwypc/tesla_jumps_10_in_premarket_trade_after_passing/">posted on r/stocks</a>, sharing his opinion on the news. He highlighted that while Tesla&#8217;s stock saw a significant jump, this may not be the catalyst to drive further gains. 
Others echoed similar sentiments. Two Redditors pointed out previous announcements by Tesla, such as the unveiling of Tesla 2 and the promise of robotaxis, did not have a significant impact on the stock price.
Despite the skepticism, some believe Tesla&#8217;s move to bring its FSD technology to China could have broader implications.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Implications Of Tesla&#8217;s FSD Nod</h1>
Redditor Decent-Photograph391 suggested China&#8217;s decision to allow Tesla&#8217;s FSD could be a strategic move to smooth over Chinese EVs&#8217; entry into the U.S. market. By allowing Tesla&#8217;s FSD, China may be positioning itself favorably in the global EV market, leveraging its ability to make quick decisions and allocate resources effectively. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">&#8220;I have a different take. China is allowing it to smooth over Chinese EV's entry into the US market.
They figure it's no big loss to allow Tesla's &#8216;FSD,&#8217; as it won't hurt the Chinese in their domestic market as few people make buying decisions based on driving assistance. BYDs are selling just fine without investing too much into it.&#8221;
<cite>&#8212;<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1cfwypc/comment/l1s3r3w/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">Redditor Decent-Photograph391</a></cite></blockquote>
Overall, investors saw Tesla&#8217;s progress with its FSD technology in China as a positive development for the company.
It remains to be seen how this milestone will truly impact Tesla&#8217;s stock and its competitive position in the global EV market.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock closed up 15.31% at $194.05 on Monday.

For years, fans of the National Football League have been hoping to have the day after the Super Bowl <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/02/37059904/should-the-day-after-the-super-bowl-be-a-holiday-heres-what-benzinga-readers-said-and-what-history">made an official holiday.</a>
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hinted that this wish from fans could happen if he gets his way.
What Happened: The National Football League recently enjoyed setting records at the 2024 NFL Draft with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38501129/2024-nfl-draft-recap-quarterbacks-wide-receivers-detroit-set-records-who-will-win-rookie-o">the city of Detroit</a> helping set new day one and overall draft weekend records of 275,000 and 775,000 people, respectively.
While <a href="https://twitter.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1783902224927633813">speaking </a>on "The Pat McAfee Show" Friday during the NFL Draft, Goodell was asked his thoughts about the current NFL season structure.
Goodell said he isn't a fan of the preseason games and would prefer to have an 18-game schedule for NFL teams. The current schedule has teams playing three preseason games and 17 regular season games.
"I think we're good at 17 now. But listen, we're looking at how we continue," Goodell said.
One of the comments made by Goodell when discussing the potential change to the NFL schedule was to have the Super Bowl moved back a week, which would put it in alignment with the Presidents' Day weekend.
Presidents&#8217; Day, which honors U.S. presidents including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln who have February birthdays, falls on the third Monday of February annually. The date is a federal holiday and also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37196072/presidents-day-sees-wall-street-pause-nasdaq-nyse-shut-doors-today">sees major U.S. stock exchanges closed.</a>
By moving the Super Bowl to the Sunday of Presidents' Day Weekend, many NFL fans and viewers of the game would have the day following the NFL championship off of work.
A move would have to be approved by the NFL Players Association. The league and Players Association previously made changes to the 16-game regular season to 17 games and eliminated a preseason game from the previous annual total of four. An agreement was also reached on expanding the playoff field from 12 teams to 14 teams, which added two additional postseason games each season.

Why It's Important: Having an extra NFL game and the Super Bowl as part of a holiday weekend are items that could help companies with media deals with the NFL and sportsbooks.
The company with rights to the Super Bowl could charge more for advertisements late in the game as viewership might not drop later in the game due to anyone going to bed to wake up for work the next morning.
Last year's Super Bowl (Super Bowl LVIII) hit a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/02/37109382/super-bowl-lviii-sets-modern-day-viewership-record-how-did-nfl-championship-compare-to-apollo-11-mo">modern-day viewership record </a>with an average of 123.4 million viewers across network and streaming platforms owned by Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>). The game was watched by a total of 202.4 million people, which was up 10% year-over-year.
The locations and dates have already been announced for the next three Super Bowls. The media partners for the next 10 Super Bowls have also been announced with Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) set to air Super Bowl LVIX in 2025.
Based on needing approval for the changes, it could be several years before the Super Bowl falls on a holiday weekend, but Goodell's comments could be a positive step in the right direction of giving fans one of the most requested items in sports.
A 2023&nbsp;<a href="https://workforceinstitute.org/super-bowl-survey-will-we-see-a-spike-in-absenteeism/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">survey&nbsp;</a>from the Workforce Institute said 18.1 million employees were expected to miss work the day after last year's Super Bowl.
Furthermore, workforce productivity is expected to drop by more than $5 billion in the week of and the day after the Super Bowl, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbookreview.com/news/super-bowl-saturday-analysis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">study&nbsp;</a>from Sportsbook Review.
There have been petitions over the years to move the Super Bowl to a Saturday. More than two dozen petitions have been made on Change.org since 2017,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/02/04/super-bowl-monday-holiday/72369926007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a>&nbsp;to USA Today. One recent petition to move the game to Saturday generated over 144,000 signatures. &nbsp;
One proposal also suggested that Presidents' Day, which is a federal holiday, should come the day after the Super Bowl.
&#8220;The reason we haven&#8217;t done it in the past is simply just from an audience standpoint. The audiences on Sunday night are so much larger,&#8221; Goodell said in 2018. &#8220;Fans want to have the best opportunity to be able to see the game and we want to give that to them, so Sunday night is a better night.&#8221;
A survey of Benzinga social media followers asked if the day after the Super Bowl should be a holiday revealed 57.9% on X (formerly known as Twitter) selected yes and 60% on LinkedIn said yes, suggesting more than half of the country would welcome the idea Goodell is ready to propose.
