Fed's Daly Says Ultimately The Economy Is Heading Where We Want; Says Risks To Inflation Are Elevated; Says We May Have To Hold Policy Tighter For Longer Than We Thought; Says Could Imagine Adjusting Policy Rate Over Time, But We Have Plenty Of Time To Wait This Out

In response to allegations of AI model mimicry, OpenAI has implemented stricter access protocols. 
What Happened: Developers are now required to provide government ID verification to gain access to the company&#8217;s advanced AI models. 
The OpenAI has made it mandatory for developers to provide government ID verification to access its advanced AI models. This measure is intended to prevent misuse and protect the company&#8217;s intellectual property.
A recent study by AI content detection company, Copyleaks, found that 74% of outputs from the&nbsp;Chinese model, DeepSeek-R1, were classified&nbsp;as OpenAI-written. This indicates that OpenAI&#8217;s outputs may be used to train competing AI systems, a practice known as distillation, which could potentially&nbsp;violate OpenAI&#8217;s terms of service.
As per the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-tightens-access-evidence-ai-model-mimicry-deepseek-2025-4">by </a>Insider, OpenAI has not yet commented on these findings, but has previously expressed concerns about developers intentionally violating usage policies. Earlier this year, the company stated that it was investigating indications of DeepSeek distilling their models inappropriately.

While distillation is a common practice in AI research, unauthorized use could lead to legal complications. The debate over ownership in the AI industry is escalating, and tools&nbsp;like Copyleaks&#8217; digital fingerprinting system&nbsp;could help&nbsp;trace and verify authorship at&nbsp;the model level.
Why It Matters: OpenAI&#8217;s decision to tighten access protocols comes at a time when the AI industry is grappling with issues of ownership and intellectual property rights. The alleged misuse of OpenAI&#8217;s outputs by competing AI systems underscores the need for stricter regulations and verification processes. 
By requiring government ID verification, OpenAI aims to ensure that its advanced AI models are used responsibly and in compliance with its terms of service. 
This move could potentially set a precedent for other companies in the industry, leading to more robust measures to protect intellectual property in the AI space.

OpenAI's Latest Move Has Competitors Like DeepSeek on Edge

When you leave a job, what happens to your retirement savings? If you have a 401(k) or 403(b), personal finance expert Suze Orman says it might be time to consider a rollover — especially into an IRA or Roth IRA. On a recent episode of her "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-revisiting-can-i-give-my-child-money-and-get-a-tax-deduction">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, Orman explained why she's been recommending this move for years.
Here's what you need to know about her advice and why it could benefit your long-term retirement plans.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Investment Choices After a Rollover</h2>
Orman's number one reason for rolling your 401(k) or 403(b) into an IRA? Flexibility.

</ul>
Retirement plans through your employer usually limit you to a small number of mutual funds or company-selected investment options. But once you roll over your savings into an IRA or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44656837/build-your-retirement-portfolio-while-saving-for-emergencies-a-roth-ira-can-double-as-an-emergency-fund-is-that-true">Roth IRA</a> — especially through a brokerage firm like Fidelity or Schwab — you get access to a much wider variety of investments.
"When you transfer it and put it into an IRA, now you can buy exchange-traded funds, individual stocks. You could buy certificates of deposit. You could buy treasuries," Orman said. "You could probably even buy the exact same things the 401(k) is invested in."
She also pointed out that if you're looking to hold individual bonds, you won't be able to do that within most workplace plans. Instead, you're usually stuck with bond funds — something she personally doesn't recommend.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Tax Advantage of a Roth IRA Conversion</h2>
Depending on the type of plan you have — traditional or Roth — how you roll over your funds matters. A traditional 401(k) or 403(b) must be rolled into a traditional IRA to avoid taxes on the full amount at the time of transfer. A Roth 401(k), on the other hand, can move into a Roth IRA.
Orman encourages listeners to think carefully about converting from a traditional to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44476776/this-53-year-old-is-losing-money-on-her-250k-roth-ira-suze-orman-says-do-this">Roth IRA during retirement</a>. That's because, in retirement, you're likely in a lower tax bracket than you were during your working years. Paying taxes on the conversion now could mean paying less than you would later when required minimum distributions kick in.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What If You're Nervous About Managing Your Investments?</h2>
Orman acknowledges that not everyone is ready to take control of managing their own investments after a rollover. If you're comfortable with your current plan and the idea of managing a large sum on your own feels overwhelming, it's OK to leave the money where it is.
Transferring your retirement savings into an IRA or Roth IRA after you leave a job isn't just about moving money around — it's about gaining more control, more choices, and the ability to tailor your investments to your changing needs.
Whether you&#8217;re approaching retirement or already there, it may be worth exploring if a rollover makes sense for you. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> can help you weigh the pros and cons based on your situation.

A Peek at Home Bancorp's Future Earnings

Stem's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STEM#NYSE">STEM</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.54% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 39.87 million shares sold short, which is 26.3% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 15.14 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Stem has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Stem's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Stem's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.65%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

How Do Investors Really Feel About Interparfums?

In the current session, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) is trading at $32.90, after a 1.26% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 18.26%, and in the past year, by 32.79%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744992035_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Freeport-McMoRan P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 24.64 in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 25.63. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Freeport-McMoRan Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744992035_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

A blockbuster quarter for Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) delivered standout revenue, profit, and guidance figures that blasted past Wall Street forecasts, yet Goldman Sachs is holding the line seeing little room left for further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44881024/netflix-unitedhealth-novo-nordisk-tesla-and-trump-media-why-these-5-stocks-are-on-investors-radars-today">upside from current levels.</a>
In a note shared Thursday, Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan said the market is likely to respond positively to the company's first-quarter 2025 results and its forward-looking commentary. Sheridan emphasized the "solid revenue performance," driven by rising subscriber growth and partial pricing impacts, along with a "materially better" operating margin and an aggressive stock buyback program that far exceeded prior assumptions.
Still, the investment bank is treading carefully on the streaming giant, sticking with a &#8216;Neutral&#8217; rating and a 12-month price target of $955—below where the stock moved in after-hours trading following the earnings release.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Revenue Hits $10.54 Billion In Q1, Powered By Global Strength</h3>
For the quarter ended March, Netflix reported $10.54 billion in total revenue, a 13% increase year-over-year—or 16% when adjusted for foreign exchange. That result beat both Goldman Sachs' estimate of $10.42 billion and the FactSet consensus of $10.50 billion.
Regionally, performance was mixed but generally strong. 
The U.S. and Canada segment pulled in $4.62 billion, slightly below Street estimates, while Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) outperformed at $3.41 billion versus expectations of $3.32 billion. Both Latin America and Asia-Pacific met or slightly beat consensus targets at $1.26 billion each.
The standout metric was Netflix's GAAP operating income, which reached $3.35 billion, well above Goldman's $2.95 billion estimate and the Street's $3 billion figure. That equated to an operating margin of 31.7%, far ahead of the 28.5% expected by Wall Street.
Earnings per share for the quarter came in at $6.61, a substantial beat compared to both Goldman's forecast of $5.60 and the consensus of $5.69.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Q2 Outlook: Strong Guidance Raises The Bar</h3>
The company guided second-quarter 2025 revenue to $11.04 billion, implying 15% year-over-year growth—again ahead of consensus expectations of $10.89 billion.
Even more compelling was the forward guidance on profitability. Netflix expects second-quarter operating income to hit $3.68 billion, reflecting an operating margin of 33.3%. That compares to Wall Street's forecast of just 30%. 
If achieved, it would mark a major milestone in Netflix's margin expansion story, signaling increasing operating leverage as its global user base and pricing power grow.
Projected earnings per share for the second quarter are $7.03, topping Goldman's $6.30 and Street consensus of $6.25.
For full-year 2025, Netflix reaffirmed its guidance for revenue between $43.5 billion and $44.5 billion, and a full-year operating margin of 29%—in line with previous commentary and roughly in line with Wall Street forecasts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Buybacks And Margins: The Two Big Stories</h3>
The company's aggressive share buyback program was a key surprise in the earnings release. 
According to Sheridan, the level of shareholder returns far exceeded expectations, adding another bullish dimension to the company's capital return story.
Meanwhile, the dramatic margin expansion is central to the bull case. After spending years investing heavily in content and international growth, Netflix now appears to be reaping the rewards of scale.
Sheridan said investor debates heading into the next earnings call will center around the sustainability of these margin levels, the trajectory of Netflix's ad-supported tier and pricing strategy, and how second-half margins may compare to the strong first half.
Sheridan also flagged potential downside risks: slower-than-expected execution on initiatives like the ad-supported tier and password-sharing crackdowns, unexpected churn from pricing changes, and rising industry competition that could limit subscriber growth and margin expansion.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Web3 Twist In TikTok's Ownership Drama</h2>
The proposal is among several submitted to the White House following the passage of the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB10942">Protecting Americans</a> from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.
It requires TikTok's China-based parent company ByteDance to divest the app or face a ban in the U.S. The legislation was signed into law by then-President Joe Biden in April 2024, with an initial divestment deadline of Jan. 19.
President Donald Trump extended the deadline by 75 days and issued another extension in March, pushing the deadline to June 19. ​Trump told reporters in March that he had spoken with four interested buyer groups but did not name them, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-10/trump-says-four-different-groups-in-play-for-tiktok-deal">Bloomberg</a>.
The U.S. government's concerns center on national security. Lawmakers argue that ByteDance's ownership could allow Beijing to access Americans' user data or influence content. China has said any deal involving TikTok would need to comply with its export control laws.

Zoop&#8217;s proposal introduces a decentralized approach to content distribution, grounded in Web3 principles. In a statement to <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/founder-onlyfans-wants-to-buy-tiktok/">Wired</a> on April 2, co-founder RJ Phillips explained that the platform aims to transform the social media economy. It seeks to enable creators and active users to receive the majority of advertising revenue.
"Our bid for TikTok isn't just about changing ownership," <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/onlyfans-founder-crypto-foundation-submit-late-stage-bid-buy-tiktok-2025-04-02/">Phillips said</a>. "It's about creating a new paradigm where both creators and their communities benefit directly from the value they collectively generate."
The HBAR Foundation, based in Dallas, would contribute blockchain infrastructure to support transparency and monetization.

Zoop's entry adds to a crowded field of suitors. Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Oracle (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and even YouTuber MrBeast have expressed interest in TikTok.&nbsp;
Amazon reportedly made an eleventh-hour offer in early April. <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/amazon-stock-tiktok-shopping-retail-4f5ec000">Barron's</a> reported in August that Amazon's interest may stem from TikTok's growing influence in e-commerce, particularly through TikTok Shop.
China's <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/china-says-tiktok-deal-subject-government-review-2025-04-09/">Commerce Ministry</a> has reaffirmed that TikTok's algorithm is considered sensitive technology and subject to government approval before export.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43463099/donald-trumps-25-tariff-plan-only-tough-measures-will-level-the-playing-field-kevin-oleary-explains-the-strategy">Trump</a> has continued to tie the potential deal to broader trade negotiations with China. Trump raised <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/trump-says-the-tiktok-deal-is-still-very-much-on-the-table-even-after-doubling-down/5evwx4q">tariffs</a> on Chinese imports to 145% but said he might consider lowering them if ByteDance agrees to a U.S.-approved sale of TikTok.

'Federal Reserve Board Announces Approval Of Application By Capital One Financial Corporation To Merge With Discover Financial Services And Issues A Consent Order With Discover'- Federal Reserve

Mark Cuban made his position known this week when it came to Americans complaining about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44587812/200-jobs-lost-and-counting-canadian-steel-and-aluminum-plants-struggle-under-us-tariffs">lost manufacturing jobs</a>. He argued that the real power to change the economy isn't in Washington, but in everyday purchasing choices.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Power to Shift the Economy Is in Your Wallet</h2>
In a series of posts on X, the billionaire investor and entrepreneur said Americans have always had the option to support U.S. manufacturing—they just didn't take it. Cuban pointed out that, in theory, if every American had chosen to buy only domestically made goods, the demand would have been strong enough to keep manufacturing jobs in the U.S.

&#8220;What percentage of the physical products that you purchased the last 6 months were made in America?&#8221; Cuban <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1911495292261748893">asked</a>. &#8220;You do realize that EVERY AMERICAN could have chosen to buy only American-made products. Then we wouldn&#8217;t be in this position. Companies would manufacture here because customers demanded it.&#8221;

&mdash; Mark Cuban (@mcuban) <a href="https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1911495292261748893?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 13, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
To push that idea forward, Cuban said he invested in a startup that created a browser extension to help consumers make those decisions more easily. The tool would highlight American-made alternatives whenever people shopped online, on Amazon or elsewhere. The concept was simple: make it easy to support U.S. companies.
Trending: With shares starting at $1.52, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-a-10k-bet-on-health-care-originals-could-have-skyrocketed-your-portfolio">this could be your chance to invest in the future of healthcare</a>.
But the outcome was disappointing.
&#8220;No one cared,&#8221; Cuban wrote. &#8220;They had to pivot.&#8221; In other words, there wasn't enough user interest to make the product viable in its original form. The company had to change its strategy to survive.
Cuban's comments were in response to a user who said they were willing to pay more for American-made goods and felt the U.S. economy was stronger when it relied on domestic manufacturing, especially in regions like the Midwest. That post expressed nostalgia for a time when American workers had better wages and more stable jobs thanks to local production.
Cuban didn't argue against that point. But he insisted that if consumers truly wanted to bring back those days, they needed to act on it—not just talk about it.
He followed up with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44786027/mark-cuban-criticizes-tariff-supporters-who-dont-buy-american-you-are-a-hypocrite">direct call-out</a> to those who demand policy solutions like tariffs while ignoring their own buying habits. &#8220;I don&#8217;t care who you are,&#8221; he started, &#8220;If you are complaining we need tariffs to bring manufacturing and jobs to the USA, and you don&#8217;t buy American EXCLUSIVELY, YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE.&#8221;
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
He continued, &#8220;You want to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44661665/manufacturing-resurgence-not-without-a-workforce-says-blackrocks-fink">bring manufacturing back</a>, lead by example and get friends and family to do the same.&#8221; His message is that change doesn't start with politicians; it starts with your credit card.
Cuban also <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1911480601984811406">responded</a> sharply to investor and entrepreneur Grant Cardone, who accused him of working against the president and claimed that businesses now realize they were too reliant on limited suppliers and financing options.
&#8220;Why do you always blame hard working entrepreneurs who are busting their ass to live the American dream?&#8221; Cuban fired back.
This wasn't just about a browser plugin that didn't take off. It was about the larger question of consumer responsibility. Cuban's view is that the market responds to what people actually buy, not what they say they care about.
If Americans truly want to bring back jobs and revive domestic manufacturing, Cuban says it won&#8217;t happen because of social media posts, soundbites, or even tariffs. It has to begin with conscious, consistent consumer choices. Until then, he suggests, complaints about jobs going overseas ring hollow.
