First Quarter 2025 Highlights
In the first quarter of 2025, ABVC recognized a parcel of land in central Taiwan valued at $7,670,000 as a strategic asset.

NVIDIA (NasdaqGS:NVDA) Collaborates With Accenture And AdaCore For AI And Automotive Innovation
NVIDIA has gained attention with its recent expansion in AI startups and introduction of new programming languages for the automotive market, coinciding with a 28% share price increase in the last quarter. These developments align with the broader market's modest upward trend, as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both marked winning streaks, lifted by renewed economic optimism and progress in trade talks with China. NVIDIA's collaboration with Accenture, AdaCore, and various industry leaders adds weight to its momentum, complementing its focus on AI and autonomous technology, which have remained key drivers of interest amid robust market conditions. We've spotted 1 possible red flag for NVIDIA you should be aware of. We've found 19 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. The recent developments at NVIDIA, particularly its expansion into AI startups and new programming languages for the automotive market, could significantly influence its long-term growth narrative. The partnerships with industry giants Toyota and Uber aim to cement NVIDIA's presence in the autonomous vehicles sector, potentially boosting revenue streams and market share. These collaborations align with NVIDIA's focus on AI and autonomous technology, potentially enhancing its data center and AI workloads, which in turn might improve earnings and margin potential. Analysts have projected NVIDIA's earnings to grow substantially, assuming it capitalizes on these burgeoning opportunities. However, regulatory challenges and export controls could impact these forecasts, as uncertainty remains a persistent risk. Over the past five years, NVIDIA's total return, including share price appreciation and dividends, has been very large, reflecting significant long-term value creation. In comparison to its one-year performance, NVIDIA surpassed the US Semiconductor industry, which posted a 10.3% gain, suggesting strong relative performance. This longer-term gain is a testament to NVIDIA's rapid growth trajectory, bolstered by innovation and strategic sector expansions. Despite the impressive gains, NVIDIA's current share price of US$113.54 is significantly lower than the consensus analyst price target of US$163.12, indicating potential room for growth. As the company continues to navigate AI and automotive sectors, these market moves can be pivotal in driving future revenue and earnings. Investors may need to assess if the growth potential justifies the price target, considering the associated risks and market dynamics. The ongoing scaling of the Blackwell architecture and its implications for operational efficiency and cost management will be central to NVIDIA meeting or exceeding analyst expectations.

Netflix, Martha Stewart, T.O.P And Lil Yachty Welcome You To The K-Era
Lil Yachty, Martha Stewart and T.O.P appear in Netflix's new K-content campaign. Let's face it—a collaboration between lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart and South Korean rapper and actor T.O.P was something no one saw coming, but that's precisely what happened when Netflix revealed its latest ad for Korean content. The two-minute video on Netflix's YouTube channel also features American rapper Lil Yachty, himself a longtime K-culture fan who famously paid tribute to the iconic K-pop boy band BIGBANG (of which T.O.P is a former member) in 2016 by freestyling to their songs. (And seeing as how T.O.P is clearly his favorite BIGBANG member based on that clip, it was probably only a matter of time before he and the real T.O.P found themselves in the same video.) In Netflix's promotional clip, Stewart is caught crying while watching the hit K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines. When told that she doesn't speak Korean, Stewart responds, 'I don't, it speaks to me.' Stewart is later seen actively engaging with and taking cues from other blockbuster Korean shows like Squid Game, All of Us Are Dead and Physical: 100. She also chats with Lil Yachty about Single's Inferno while wearing a snail mucin sheet mask on her face—one of (many) items popularized by the ever-growing K-beauty trend. T.O.P (real name Choi Seung-hyun), who plays Thanos in Squid Game season 2, appears in Stewart's dressing room in the latter half of the video and flashes her the classic Korean 'finger heart' sign. At this point, the camera cuts to a barrage of additional K-culture references found throughout the room, from the song 'Like Jennie' by BLACKPINK member Jennie blasting from a speaker to a tray filled with Korean snacks and beverages to Stewart wearing an Extraordinary Attorney Woo T-shirt. 'I've seen this before… You're in deep on K-content. Don't worry, she'll be fine,' T.O.P remarks, at least according to the English subtitles. (A more literal translation of what he actually says would be something like: 'Oh, I see you're hooked on not only K-content but Korean culture as well. Don't worry, that happens to everyone.') He then makes his exit with the now-iconic 'Skrrt!'—which all three stars repeat at the very end while dressed in Squid Game tracksuits. Social media reactions to the unexpected collab have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, with many users praising Netflix for the surprise video and gushing over T.O.P's appearance in the clip. Some of the user comments on the "Welcome to Your K-Era" video on Netflix's YouTube channel More user comments on Netflix's new K-content promotional video Commenter on YouTube references the 2016 BIGBANG tribute video in which Lil Yachty raps and talks to ... More cardboard cutouts of BIGBANG members. Screenshot of a post on X Netflix's slogan for its 'Welcome to Your K-Era' campaign is 'You Don't Have to Speak It to Love It' (for anyone who's interested, a more literal translation of the Korean phrase would be: 'Even if you don't know the language, you know the feeling!'), acknowledging the power of K-content to resonate with audiences across the globe despite the language barrier. That said, as an aside, it should be noted that the Korean language is also experiencing a worldwide boom these days. For instance, a recent study by the Modern Language Association found that out of the 15 most commonly taught foreign languages at U.S. colleges and universities, Korean was the only language to show remarkable growth between 2016 and 2021—a whopping 38.3% increase in enrollment over that five-year period. Biblical Hebrew and American Sign Language were the only other languages that showed increased enrollment—9.1% and 0.8% respectively—while all other foreign languages showed a marked decline in enrollment over that time period. To feed your K-content obsession—and perhaps help you improve your Korean listening comprehension skills—Netflix now has a 'Welcome to Your K-Era' panel on its interface, which serves as a one-stop shop to find all your favorite Korean films and shows on Netflix. (Tip for those new to Korean movies and shows: ALWAYS watch them subbed, NEVER dubbed!) Residents of Los Angeles, California might have also seen these Netflix billboards along Sunset Boulevard featuring Korean-only captions, often superimposed on ads for popular Netflix Korean shows: Billboard in LA with Netflix's new K-content slogan "You Don't Have to Speak It to Love It" written ... More in Korean (a more literal translation would be: "Even if you don't know the language, you know the feeling!") Netflix billboard in LA for 'Squid Game' that reads, "It's now time to end the game" in Korean Netflix billboard in LA for 'Single's Inferno' that reads, "Jun-seo over Tae-oh, you've crossed the ... More line" in Korean Netflix billboard in LA for 'The Glory' that reads, "You've messed with the wrong person" in Korean There's also a video billboard in New York City's Times Square that shows all of these ads along with a few more featuring other Korean shows. Below is a still frame for the K-zombie thriller All of Us Are Dead: Netflix digital billboard in Times Square for 'All of Us Are Dead.' The Korean words read, "Now our ... More school is in the middle of a survival class." Netflix's K-content promotional campaign comes on the heels of its global fan event Tudum, which featured many K-culture moments both during and in the lead-up to the live event held in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 31st. That weekend, Tudum coincided with other events in Los Angeles that celebrated K-culture, including an epic sold-out concert by K-pop boy band Stray Kids (whose global fanbase is predominantly non-Korean), a concert by Korean singing legend Baek Ji-young, and 88rising's annual Head in the Clouds music festival, which saw many K-indie and K-pop artists take the stage at the Rose Bowl, including BIGBANG's leader G-Dragon (dubbed by many fans as the 'King of K-pop') and iconic K-pop girl group 2NE1. As I've mentioned before, it's a K-content world, and we're all just living in it. And Netflix is one of the players leading the Korean Wave, known as 'Hallyu" (한류) in Korean.
