Parker-Hannifin Trims Outlook, But CEO Says Firm Ready To Handle Tariff Uncertainty

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives raised his price target on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) by 8% from $250 to $270, citing &#8220;incremental confidence&#8221; in the company&#8217;s India supply chain strategy amid ongoing tariff concerns.
What Happened: &#8220;This has been a core Street fear over the last month,&#8221; Ives wrote Thursday on X, noting that Apple&#8217;s manufacturing shift could &#8220;take the worst case scenario off the table for iPhone tariffs.&#8221; He also highlighted &#8220;improving&#8221; demand in China, a crucial market for the tech giant.
During Apple&#8217;s fiscal second-quarter earnings call Thursday, CEO Tim Cook revealed the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45156890/apple-ceo-tim-cook-warns-of-900-million-tariff-impact-in-june-quarter-expects-majority-of-iphones-sold-in-us-to-be-made-in-india">expects a $900 million cost impact</a> in the June quarter due to existing tariffs. Cook emphasized Apple&#8217;s strategic pivot to diversify manufacturing bases.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Raising price target on Apple to $270 reflecting incremental confidence in the India supply chain situation that could now take the worst case scenario off the table for iPhone tariffs&#8230;and this has been a core Street fear over the last month.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
&#8220;For the June quarter, we expect the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. will have India as their country of origin,&#8221; Cook said. He added that Vietnam will now produce nearly all iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, and AirPods sold in the U.S.

Why It Matters: The manufacturing shift comes as Apple navigates potential tariff increases on Chinese imports. Cook explained that Apple&#8217;s current tariff exposure primarily relates to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152493/apple-reports-strong-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-all-time-high-across-all-segments-100-billion-buyback-and-more">February IEEPA-related tariff at 20%</a>, affecting U.S. imports of Chinese-origin products.

For the upcoming quarter, the company projects low-to-mid-single-digit revenue growth with a gross margin between 45.5% and 46.5%.
Previous analysis from Ives had warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728758/trumps-tariffs-could-push-apple-iphone-prices-to-a-staggering-3500-says-top-analyst">iPhones manufactured in the U.S.</a> could cost as much as $3,500 if significant tariffs were implemented on Chinese imports.
Price Action: Apple Inc.&#8217;s stock closed at $213.32 on Thursday, up 0.39% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock declined by 3.78% to $205.25. Year to date, Apple shares are down 12.52%.
Apple stock performs well on quality metrics but ranks poorly on valuation, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. Additionally, the stock shows a negative price trend from the short to the long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

Why Consumer Goods Maker Church & Dwight Stock Fell On Thursday?

Strategy&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman Michael Saylor expressed optimism about the growing adoption of the Bitcoin standard among businesses on Thursday.
What Happened: During the company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call, Saylor described the growing trend of companies buying Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) for their treasury as a &#8220;virtuous cycle&#8221; and a &#8220;mutually beneficial competition.&#8221;
Saylor was asked about his views on other corporations aping Strategy&#8217;s playbook and how the firm aimed to retain its pioneering status in this area.
&#8220;The more companies that adopt the Bitcoin standard, the more legitimizing it is,&#8221; Saylor said. &#8220;As more companies adopt the Bitcoin standard, they're out there educating equity investors, and that brings more equity capital to the market.

The Bitcoin bull stressed that the entry of more companies will make investors more comfortable investing in the space.
&#8220;So I think the more companies that join, the better it is for Bitcoin,&#8221; Saylor noted. He anticipated that this would hasten&nbsp;the transition to the Bitcoin&nbsp;standard, pressuring companies that have not yet adopted to do so over time.
Why It Matters: Strategy has outpaced the rest of the market in Bitcoin adoption, actively issuing convertible debt and other fixed-income products to add the top cryptocurrency to its reserves. As of this writing, 
Following in its footsteps, big <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44558002/bitcoin-miner-mara-looks-to-sell-2-billion-in-stocks-to-grow-btc-stash-buy-more-servers">Bitcoin miners</a> like Mara Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) and Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) began hoarding Bitcoin, employing similar stock offerings. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BitcoinTreasuries.com</a>, MicroStrategy was the largest Bitcoin corporate holder, with a stash worth more than $53.72 billion, followed by MARA and Riot.
Strategy reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/05/45152230/strategy-q1-earnings-bitcoin-treasury-company-raises-its-btc-yield-and-btc-gain-targets-for-2025">financial results</a> for the first quarter on Thursday after the bell, with revenue missing analyst estimates and an adjusted loss of $16.53 per share. 
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $96,982.25, up 2.29% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;
Shares of Strategy were down 0.81% in after-hours trading after closing 0.39% higher at $381.60 during Thursday&#8217;s regular session.&nbsp;
MSTR demonstrated a very high momentum score—a measure of the stock&#8217;s relative strength based on its price movement patterns and volatility over multiple timeframes—as of this writing.

Michael Saylor Considers Competition Copying Strategy's Bitcoin Playbook Mutually Beneficial: 'The More Companies That Join, The Better It Is'

Social media platform,&nbsp;Reddit Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) is seeing strong commercial intent across its iconic comment threads, and it&#8217;s now turning that engagement into ad revenue as part of a broader monetization push.
What Happened: During the company&#8217;s <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/05/45151798/reddit-stock-soars-after-better-than-expected-q1-daily-active-uniques-up-31-ad-revenue-up-61-and-more">first quarter earnings</a> call on Thursday, COO Jen Wong addressed the new ad placements inside the platform&#8217;s comments section, which is known for its high levels of engagement and activity. This comes in addition to the ads that were already in place below the post and above the comments.
Wong notes that 40% of conversations on Reddit are commercial in nature, with users actively discussing products and services. Given the high engagement, she said, many users are on their &#8220;purchase decision journey,&#8221; making the platform's comments section ripe for ad placements.
&#8220;I think almost no [other] platform has ads in their comments,&#8221; Wong said, adding that this level of engagement is a uniquely Reddit trait. 
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45155666/robinhood-stock-falls-after-analysts-cite-weak-crypto-volumes-and-market-headwinds-in-q2-outlook">Robinhood Stock Falls After Analysts Cite Weak Crypto Volumes And Market Headwinds In Q2 Outlook</a>
Wong explains that there are two ways that people end up in Reddit&#8217;s famed comments section: either by clicking on search results for a very specific query, looking for answers in the comments, or by engaging with a post on their feed, because it looked interesting. Either way, she says, &#8220;the intent in the space is very high.&#8221; 
Reddit is encouraged by early results, with Wong noting earlier in the call that ads within comment sections already accounted for 6% of total ad impressions during the quarter.
Why It Matters: Analysts had predicted <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44209873/heres-why-reddits-ad-revenue-growth-is-outpacing-other-social-media-giants">Reddit&#8217;s ad revenue</a> growth to outpace that of peers in 2025, citing its growing appeal to advertisers and the community-driven nature of the platform.
Analysts also attribute the company&#8217;s growing ad business to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38703190/reddits-enhanced-advertising-tools-drive-sizable-upside-jpmorgan">significant enhancements</a> it has made to its advertising tools over the past year.
The company is now focused on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/42221015/reddit-targets-india-brazil-to-boost-global-user-growth-revenue">accelerating its global expansion</a>, turning towards countries such as Brazil and India for user growth, as well as advertising opportunities.
The strong advertising performance is aiding Reddit&#8217;s bottom line, with the company reporting $0.13 earnings per share, from $392 million in revenue, up 61% YoY.
Price Action: The stock was up 1.96% during the regular session on Thursday, and is up 6.49% in after-hours trading, following the announcement of its first quarter results.

Reddit Stock Spikes Over 6% After-hours After Earning Beat, Platform Considers Putting Ads In Comments To Monetize High 'Engagement'

On Thursday, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang told U.S. lawmakers that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45090935/trump-administration-targets-biden-era-ai-chip-curbs-could-scrap-country-tiers-and-tighten-access-to-nvidias-h100-chips-report">export restrictions on AI chips</a> may be helping China's Huawei Technologies gain a competitive foothold in the global artificial intelligence race.
What Happened: In a closed-door meeting with the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Huang and other Nvidia executives raised concerns that U.S. efforts to limit China&#8217;s access to cutting-edge chips may be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45092827/nvidia-to-face-significant-market-loss-in-china-amid-huaweis-ai-chip-development-says-analyst-its-pretty-much-game-over-for-nvidia-in-china">having unintended consequences</a>, reported Reuters, citing a senior Congressional committee staff source.
"If DeepSeek R1 had been trained on [Huawei chips] or a future open-source Chinese model had been trained to be highly optimized to Huawei chips, that would risk creating a global market demand for Huawei chips," a source told the publication.

In a statement, Nvidia spokesperson John Rizzo confirmed Huang's meeting with lawmakers, saying he discussed "the strategic importance of AI as national infrastructure and the need to invest in U.S. manufacturing," the report noted.&nbsp;
Rizzo added that Huang "reaffirmed Nvidia&#8217;s full support for the government's efforts to promote American technology and interests around the world."
Why It Matters: On the same day, Nvidia also criticized Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)-backed Anthropic for its allegations related to AI chip export restrictions, urging American firms to focus on innovation instead of making exaggerated allegations, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/01/nvidia-and-anthropic-clash-over-us-ai-chip-restrictions-on-china.html">reported</a> CNBC.
Last month, the U.S. government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44971572/nvidia-chip-ban-wont-stop-chinas-ai-momentum-say-analysts-blocking-h20-would-hand-market-to-huawei-amid-trump-era-export-crackdown">barred Nvidia from selling</a> its H20 chip, designed specifically for the Chinese market, after initial shipments began.
Nvidia expects to take a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">$5.5 billion hit in the first quarter</a> ending April 27, tied to inventory and purchase commitments for its H20 chip.

Last month, it was reported that the Chinese tech giant was preparing mass shipments of its own AI chips as demand for alternatives surged in China.
Price Action: Nvidia shares have declined 19.30% year-to-date but remain up 34.41% over the past 12 months. On Thursday, the stock rose 2.47% to close at $111.61, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.

Apple, Amazon, Reddit, Strategy, Block: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Leading cryptocurrencies rallied Thursday as investors turned to Bitcoin amid a weak financial climate.

What Happened: Bitcoin reached an intraday high of $97,437.96 in the early trading hours, then fell to roughly $96,500 in the afternoon before making a fresh move past $97,000 overnight.
Ethereum peaked at $1,872.94 for the day before pulling back to $1,835. Both assets saw an appreciable spike in trading volumes.
Bitcoin's market dominance rose to a yearly high of 63.8%, implying that investors were more confident in the "King Coin" relative to other cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin&#8217;s uptick comes a day after the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter, with investors possibly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">considering it as a safe haven</a> in times of economic turmoil.
The upsurge resulted in $209 million in cryptocurrency liquidations, with $154 million in bearish shorts erased.
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest exploded 8.21% to $66.93 billion in the last 24 hours, marking a jump in leverage and potential market volatility. Interestingly, despite the surge, the majority of Binance traders with open BTC positions were short as of this writing.
The market returned to "Greed" sentiment, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Seasoned trader Peter Brandt said Bitcoin was on target to reach the bull cycle top between $125,000 and $150,000 by August or September if it can "regain the broken parabolic slope." From then on, Brandt projected a 50% pullback.
Typically, parabolic slope patterns are characterized by a steep, rapid, and exponential rise in price, followed by a sharp decline.

Cryptocurrency trader and analyst CryptoBullet stated Ethereum's mid-term correction is over, and the asset was primed for a "good" mid-term bounce.
"So in the next few months, I&#8217;m expecting a good rally: ETH &amp; its ecosystem will bounce. My first target is $2500," the trader predicted.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Spike Alongside Stocks: Trader Peter Brandt Says BTC On Target To Reach Bull Market Top Of $125,000-$150,000

On Thursday, during Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152493/apple-reports-strong-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-all-time-high-across-all-segments-100-billion-buyback-and-more">fiscal second-quarter earnings</a> call, CEO Tim Cook said that the tech giant expects a $900 million cost impact in the June quarter due to tariffs
What Happened: "For the June [quarter], we do expect the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. will have India as their country of origin," Cook said. He added that Vietnam will now serve as the production hub for nearly all iPads, Macs, Apple Watches and AirPods sold in the U.S.
Apple's pivot comes amid mounting tariffs on Chinese imports.&nbsp;
"Most of our tariff exposure relates to the February IEEPA-related tariff at the rate of 20%, which applies to imports to the U.S. for products that have China as their country of origin," Cook explained.

He also noted that Apple's main product lines — iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch and Vision Pro — are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44970168/elizabeth-warren-slams-tim-cook-over-alleged-backdoor-deal-with-trump-to-shield-apple-from-crushing-china-tariffs-creates-the-appearance-of-impropriety">not currently impacted</a> by the newly announced global reciprocal tariffs related to semiconductors.
Still, the company is bracing for changes. "Assuming that the current global tariff rates, policies and applications don't change for the balance of the quarter," the impact will be $900 million to the company's costs.

Why It's Important: Apple posted fiscal second-quarter revenue of $95.36 billion, surpassing Wall Street expectations of $94.53 billion. For the June quarter, the company projects revenue growth in the low-to-mid-single-digit range and forecasts a gross margin between 45.5% and 46.5%.
Previously, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) raised concerns about Cook&#8217;s role in seeking tariff exemptions for Apple products after President Donald Trump threatened to impose up to 145% tariffs on Chinese imports.
If implemented, such tariffs would have significantly impacted Apple's supply chain and profit margins. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives had warned that iPhones made in the U.S. could cost as much as $3,500 — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728758/trumps-tariffs-could-push-apple-iphone-prices-to-a-staggering-3500-says-top-analyst">more than triple their current price</a>.
Price Action: Apple shares rose 0.39% during Thursday's regular trading session but fell 3.78% in after-hours trading, closing at $205.25, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Per Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings, Apple has a growth score of 44.65% and a momentum score of 74.54%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other top tech stocks</a>.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Warns Of $900 Million Tariff Impact In June Quarter, Expects Majority Of iPhones Sold In US To Be Made In India

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>).
The Robinhood Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) fund acquire 210,714 shares of Robinhood Markets Inc. The trade, valued at approximately $9.82 million based on Thursday&#8217;s closing price of $46.62, comes after Robinhood recently reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45138927/whats-going-on-with-robinhood-shares-thursday">first-quarter earnings</a> that surpassed expectations. Robinhood shares experienced a decline of 5.07% on Thursday. The company&#8217;s revenue from cryptocurrency trading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45138927/whats-going-on-with-robinhood-shares-thursday">saw a 30% drop,</a> prompting CEO Vlad Tenev to explore diversification strategies to reduce reliance on transaction volumes.
The AMD Trade involved Ark Invest purchasing 26,146 shares of AMD through the ARKK fund and an additional 3,082 shares via the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) fund. The total value of these trades amounts to approximately $2.8 million, calculated using AMD&#8217;s closing price of $96.65. AMD shares have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44876468/whats-going-on-with-amd-stock-14">been under pressure</a> due to new U.S. government restrictions on AI chip exports to China and other regions, which led to a significant inventory charge and anticipated revenue impact.
The Palantir Trade saw Ark Invest selling 19,406 shares of Palantir Technologies Inc from the ARKK fund, valued at approximately $2.25 million based on the closing price of $116.20. This decision comes ahead of Palantir&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45124622/cathie-wood-sells-palantir-shares-worth-2-65-million-ahead-of-earnings-doubles-down-on-this-chip-giant">upcoming earnings report</a>. Notably, Wood offloaded $2.65 million worth of Palantir shares on Wednesday.
Other Key Trades:
<ul>
<li>Purchased 186,812 shares of Guardant Health Inc. (GH) through the ARKK fund.</li>
<li>Sold 49,969 shares of Roblox Corp (RBLX) from the ARKK fund.</li>
<li>Acquired 115,500 shares of 10X Genomics Inc. (TXG) via the ARKK fund.</li>

Mati Carbon, a climate-tech startup based in Houston, just walked away with $50 million in prize money from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45047458/elon-musks-neuralink-expected-to-get-8-5-billion-valuation">Elon Musk</a>-backed XPrize Carbon Removal competition.
The company <a href="https://www.mati.earth/mati-carbon-is-the-grand-prize-winner-of-the-xprize-carbon-removal-competition/">announced</a> the win, highlighting it as a major step toward scaling its carbon removal efforts globally. The funding positions Mati at the forefront of a massive shift in how carbon is removed from the atmosphere by spreading pulverized rock on farmland.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bold Climate Solution With Billion-Person Potential</h2>
Founded in 2022, Mati Carbon's rock weathering method caught the attention of investors, scientists, and climate advocates alike. The startup's goal is to remove carbon dioxide from the air while boosting crop yields for smallholder farmers across India, Tanzania, and Zambia.
Mati's process is simple. It grinds basalt rock into a fine dust and then applies it to agricultural land. As rainwater and natural weather conditions interact with the basalt, the rock binds with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and turns it into a stable form of carbon stored in the soil. As the basalt breaks down, it releases vital minerals that re-mineralize depleted soil. Farmers see yield increases and stronger crops without paying anything upfront. Mati provides the service at no cost.
The startup is already on track to work with 30,000 farmers by the end of this year, and&nbsp; founder and CEO Shantanu Agarwal said in an <a href="https://time.com/7279701/xprize-winner-mati-carbon-interview/">interview</a> with Time last week, the goal is to reach 100 million globally by 2040. In many cases, this method increases yields by 25% to 70%, depending on the condition of the soil, Agarwal told<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/23/xprize-carbon-awarded-to-a-dirt-simple-carbon-removal-technology/"> TechCrunch</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Musk's Involvement Brings Attention And Controversy</h2>
The XPrize Foundation, funded by Musk's Musk Foundation, awarded Mati Carbon the $50 million prize as part of a broader $100 million initiative to accelerate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44872914/microsoft-bets-big-on-carbon-removal-with-co280-inks-12-year-deal-targeting-u-s-pulp-and-paper-mills-emissions">carbon removal</a> technologies. While the backing from Musk gives the award high-profile visibility, it also brings some scrutiny.
Climate policy expert Wil Burns, who helped design the XPrize guidelines, expressed concern in an interview with<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/23/musk-bankrolled-100-million-climate-contest-now-its-tainted-00304093"> Politico</a>, saying Musk's funding of this prize while pushing for research cuts in other areas taints the credibility of the initiative. Still, the prize remains one of the largest ever awarded for climate innovation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CEO Shantanu Agarwal: "A Catalyst For Global Change"</h2>
Agarwal sees this win as validation. "Being named the grand prize winner of XPrize Carbon Removal is not just a validation of our approach to [carbon dioxide removal], it also represents a major catalyst to building out the science and infrastructure needed to deliver on our mission – generating climate resilience and economic empowerment for the more than 100 million smallholder farmers in developing economies worldwide," Agarwal said in a<a href="https://climateinsider.com/2025/04/24/xprize-awards-100-million-for-carbon-removal-solutions/"> statement</a>.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
The company's method is also being recognized for meeting all the core criteria of the XPrize competition: operational feasibility, long-term sustainability, and low cost per ton of carbon removed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Startup Quietly Redefining What Climate Action Looks Like</h2>
Mati is already scaling its operations. With $50 million in hand, they plan to build out logistics, expand partnerships with farmers, and continue refining their carbon tracking software. The team uses a tech-forward system to monitor and verify carbon drawdown and soil improvement. This precision allows them to scale across vastly different geographies while maintaining impact integrity.
Mati Carbon's win comes at a moment when many climate startups are struggling to prove effectiveness. By focusing on simplicity, scale, and farmer empowerment, the startup has done what few others have: created a system that benefits people and the planet.

Elon Musk's $100M Climate Gamble: Houston's Mati Carbon Wins $50M With Rock Dust Hack To Save 100M Farmers Across 3 Continents

President Donald Trump&#8217;s national security team saw a major reshuffle with the removal of national security adviser Mike Waltz.
Waltz, a former congressman recognized for his hawkish stance, has been nominated by Trump to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday. In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will take on the role of national security adviser, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5278283-trump-national-security-shakeup/">reported</a> The Hill.
See Also: <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/events/25/04/44971154/trump-fails-to-impress-americas-young-shows-poll-as-they-still-favor-biden-only-15-think-us-on-right-track" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump Fails To Impress America&#8217;s Young, Shows Poll As They Still Favor Biden — Only 15% Think US On Right Track </a>
The dismissal of Waltz comes amidst allegations of his inadequate commitment to the president&#8217;s agenda and his involvement in a Signal chat scandal. This move has further stirred the already turbulent waters of Trump&#8217;s national security teams, following the recent dismissal of several top National Security Council officials and the head of the National Security Agency.
Waltz&#8217;s tense relationships with Trump&#8217;s chief of staff Susie Wiles, aide Steve Witkoff and Vice President JD Vance were attributed as a potential reason for his exit by an Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/01/mike-waltz-firing-trump-white-house">report</a>.
Despite the controversy surrounding Waltz&#8217;s dismissal, some Republicans have expressed disappointment. &#8220;He did a very good job as national security adviser. It&#8217;s the president&#8217;s prerogative to decide who his team will be, but I was sorry to see that news,&#8221; stated Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Waltz&#8217;s proposed U.N. appointment would offer him an international platform, although it is far removed from the Oval Office.

Wall Street analysts rerated Robinhood Markets, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) on Thursday after it reported its first-quarter results on Wednesday.
Robinhood <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45118133/robinhood-q1-earnings-highlights-record-trading-volumes-transaction-based-revenues-up-77-gold-subscribers-up-90" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported quarterly EPS</a> of&nbsp;$0.37, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$0.32. Quarterly revenue of $927 million beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$922.53 million&nbsp;and is up from $618 million Y/Y.

JP Morgan analyst Kenneth Worthington maintained a Neutral rating for Robinhood Markets and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $44 to $47</a>.
Needham analyst John Todaro reiterated a Buy rating for Robinhood Markets and lowered the price target from $62 to $58.
Piper Sandler analyst Patrick Moley maintained a rating of Overweight for Robinhood Markets and a price target of $70.
Goldman Sachs analyst James Yaro reiterated a Buy rating for Robinhood Markets and raised the price target from $52 to $56.
JP Morgan:  Net revenue exceeded expectations at $927 million as the transaction-based revenue beat outpaced net interest revenue miss. Expenses came in heavier than previously modeled before adjusting for incremental TradePMR costs. As such, the earnings beat was of low quality, as a lower-than-modeled effective tax rate primarily drove it. New businesses and products defined much of the conversation in the first quarter of 2025.
Despite the poor performance, Robinhood still attracted a record $18 billion in net new deposits this quarter, of which only ~15% was due to promotions. Strong organic growth continues to surprise in terms of its duration and magnitude and remains a highlight of the result and an indication of the company&#8217;s strategic successes. However, the market environment has changed. While it asserted that the retail investor remains healthy and strong platform engagement has been broad-based, some preliminary second-quarter data has been weaker since the onset of the global tariff war. Worthington also observed a decline in margin balances and potential client movement of assets into cash, noting the potential for a slowdown in trading activity as a sign of customer weakness.
Worthington projected second-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.31.
Needham: Robinhood reported a modest top-line beat but a narrow miss on adjusted EBITDA. Crypto volumes softened in the first quarter of 2025 while options and equities remained robust. Prediction market volumes align with Todaro&#8217;s projections and noted futures. Gold cards, in particular, were positive callouts, with card users increasing from 200,000 to 100,000. Todaro expected growth in equities and options in the second quarter of 2025, while he modeled a roughly 48% decline in crypto, in line with industry trends. Todaro lowered interest income, as we expect lower rates, which is partially offset by higher transactional activity in this environment.
Todaro projected second-quarter revenue of $814.0 million and EPS of $0.24.
Piper Sandler:  Robinhood stock initially gained traction on better-than-industry margin trends month to date, strong adoption and indications of interest in new assets and personal finance tools, as well as incremental information on the product roadmap through the rest of 2025 and beyond.
On the call, management indicated that annual run-rate revenues for its futures, index options, and prediction market offerings were each individually already tracking around $20 million. In futures, Robinhood disclosed that customers traded 4.5 million contracts in April, exceeding the total amount traded in the first quarter of 2025. In prediction markets, Robinhood has seen >1 billion contracts traded in the last six months across contracts related to the US elections, economic indicators, NCAA Basketball, the Masters and the NBA/NHL playoffs. 
CEO Vlad Tenev said Robinhood loves what it&#8217;s seeing from its prediction market customers and plans to expand the offering into a wider variety of contracts over time.
Moley projected second-quarter revenue of $852.6 million and EPS of $0.29.
Goldman Sachs: Yaro expects a muted market response, driven by a 1% total revenue beat, led by healthy transaction revenue (6% above consensus), partially offset by 4% weaker net interest income and 11% lower other revenue. Aside from crypto, customer activity remained healthy in April, possibly better than expected by certain investors. Against this, crypto volumes were down an estimated ~27% M/M, which resulted in lower total transaction revenue. The company reiterated a continued focus on rolling out new products across several areas, including prediction markets, digital wealth, digital banking and crypto.
Price Action: HOOD stock is trading 3.74% lower at $47.28 as of last check on Thursday.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Elevance Health 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">shut down a report </a>that the company was actively looking to replace CEO Elon Musk.
While it remains to be seen if the report was factual or not, prediction markets saw odds that Musk leaves the company in 2025 spike.
What Happened: Facing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track"> weaker financials </a>and seeing CEO Musk spend more time with the White House working for the Department of Government Efficiency, Tesla's board of directors began searching for a new CEO about a month ago, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The board reportedly told Musk he needed to devote more time to Tesla.
Following the release of the report, Tesla and Musk both denied that a search ever took place.
"It is an extremely bad breach of ethics that the @WSJ would publish a deliberately false article and fail to include an unequivocal denial beforehand by the Tesla board of directors!" Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1917815854647107990">tweeted</a> while sharing the denial from Tesla's X account.
On prediction market Kalshi, the odds that Musk would be out as Tesla CEO in 2025 spiked to 19%. At the time of writing, the odds now stand at 16%. A high of 30% for the prediction market was hit back in June 2024 at 30%.
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://kalshi.com/external-widgets/events/TESLACEOCHANGE-25/markets/TESLACEOCHANGE-25?color_scheme=light&#038;widget_size=medium&#038;variant=a" width="488px" height="242px" style="border:0"></iframe>
Kalshi also offers a prediction <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxteslaceochange/new-tesla-ceo#teslaceochange-26">market </a>on whether Musk will leave Tesla before 2027. This market has much higher chance at 35%, a figure up six points from yesterday.
Kalshi has many other Tesla- and Musk-related prediction markets open, including when Musk will leave DOGE, if Musk will remain the wealthiest person in 2025, when Musk will become a trillionaire, and if Musk will buy a major sports team.
On prediction market Polymarket, the <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/musk-out-as-tesla-ceo-in-2025">market </a>for Musk to be out as Tesla CEO in 2025 spiked to 19% last night and now sits at 15%.
Polymarket also has a <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-replace-musk-as-tesla-ceo?tid=1746107020420">market </a>for who will replace Musk as CEO of Tesla. The number one answer is no CEO announced. Following that option are two candidates who have more than 1%.
JB Straubel is listed with odds of 3% as the favorite. Straubel is the former chief technology officer of Tesla who spent 15 years with the company. Straubel is sometimes credited with a co-founder role for the company, given his early commitment to Tesla's development.
Omead Afshar is listed with odds of 2%. Afshar currently works at Tesla and is considered a close Musk ally and vice president of the electric vehicle company.
Listed beyond those two favorites are many candidates at odds of 1% that include the likes of Waymo CEO Tekedra Mawakana, General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su, Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and SpaceX CEO Gwynne Shotwell.
Another polarizing figure at 1% odds is Zach Kirkhorn, who worked at Tesla from 2010 to 2023. Kirkhorn served as Tesla's chief financial officer from 2019 to 2023.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Tesla's brand may have been damaged by Musk and his push into politics. However, when people think of Tesla, they think of Musk.
Musk is also a key shareholder of Tesla. Without Musk's approval, it seems rather unlikely that he would leave as CEO.
The self-proclaimed wearer of many hats serves in leadership roles at several companies including Tesla, SpaceX and X, which does limit his full-time commitment to any company. With his role at the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk was less involved with Tesla.
Musk recently promised that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45140155/musk-shifts-focus-back-to-tesla-says-doge-will-endure-without-him-is-buddha-needed-for-buddhism">would spend less time </a>at DOGE beginning May and spend more time at Tesla.
With new models coming, robotaxis and the Optimus Bot, Musk has expressed his optimism for Tesla and it's unlikely he would leave now.
Someday, Musk will leave Tesla or at least scale back his role. That is a day that Tesla shareholders and fans are likely not prepared for.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock closed Thursday at $280.52 versus a 52-week trading range of $157.40 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 25.5% year-to-date in 2025.

Elon Musk Out As Tesla CEO In 2025? Prediction Markets Put Little Faith In WSJ Report, Here Are The Top Replacement Picks

Nobody likes talking about wills. It's right up there with colonoscopies and root canals — necessary, but not exactly dinner conversation. Still, financial guru Dave Ramsey isn't letting anyone off the hook. In a clip <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EA4GkSnWK/?mibextid=wwXIfr">posted to his Facebook page</a>, Ramsey made it pretty clear: if you're going to ruffle feathers with your will, do it while you're alive — and do it loudly.
"If you're going to piss somebody off in the will, go ahead and do it while you're alive," Ramsey said. "Have a backbone. Instead of sneaking off into the grave and letting somebody else deal with their hurt feelings."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
The post itself was just as direct, urging people to "Get your will done, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44648769/32-year-old-tells-dave-ramsey-he-feels-guilty-after-being-only-one-to-inherit-grandmas-home-and-300k-no-one-deserved-anything-from-her">tell everybody what the stinking will says</a> while you're still alive."&nbsp;
He called out the drama people create when they treat their estate plans like a "deep, dark secret" — comparing it to a bad movie plot. "This is not a movie, it's your life," he snapped. And if you're a "crotchety old whatever" who wants to leave it all to your niece because your kids never call? Go ahead and tell them that, he said — and "shut up" about it.
The comment section, naturally, exploded — because nothing stirs emotions like money and family.
One person chimed in, saying, "I've been straight up with my kids all along. I told them they already received their inheritance in the form of private school, club sports and activities, and college tuition. They shouldn't be expecting anything when I pass." They added that the ball's now in their kids' court — they've been taught how to manage money and invest, and the rest is up to them.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Another user joked, "If you just make sure to spend every dime you make and live a life in debt you will never have to worry about estate planning lol." Certainly not the strategy Ramsey would recommend, but it's one way to avoid family squabbles.
<a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/retirement/estate-planning-guide">According to Ramsey Solutions</a>, estate planning isn't just about deciding who gets Grandma's china set. It's about protecting your entire life's work — your money, your kids, your pets — and making sure you, not a court, get the final say. It's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43278283/36-year-old-inherits-3-5-million-and-asks-dave-ramsey-the-best-way-to-invest-it-i-buy-real-estate-and-i-buy-mutual-funds-thats-all">more than just writing a will</a>. It's about setting up powers of attorney, trusts, and guardianship plans too.
And if you don't leave a plan? Well, the state's got one for you. Without a will, your estate is considered "intestate," and the court steps in to divide your assets based on your state's laws — usually following a strict order of succession.&nbsp;
That could mean your money and belongings end up with relatives you barely know or wouldn't have chosen. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42746966/debt-and-broke-are-the-norm-says-dave-ramsey-explains-why-normal-isnt-working-for-most-americans-and-how-to-take-control-of-your-money">Debts also come into play</a>, since creditors get first dibs on whatever you leave behind. Intestacy laws apply in all states, though the exact rules vary depending on where you live.
If you don't want your family starring in their own drama series after you're gone, take Ramsey's advice: have the talk now. No sneaking off into the grave.
