TransMedics Group Inc

Sen. Jon Ossoff&nbsp;(D-Ga.) called for President Donald Trump&#8217;s impeachment on Friday for rewarding investors in his Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin with a gala dinner.
What Happened: Ossoff, a Democrat from Georgia,&nbsp;voiced his concerns&nbsp;at a town hall, contending that Trump&#8217;s act of selling access to him in exchange for payments made through his memecoin is an impeachable offense.
&#8220;He is granting audiences to people who purchase the meme coin that directly enriches him,&#8221; Ossoff said. &#8220;When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him, there is no question that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.&#8221;

Ossoff was not alone in raising these concerns. Fellow Democratic lawmakers Rep.&nbsp;Adam Schiff&nbsp;(D-Calif.)&nbsp;and Sen. Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;(D-Mass.) have requested that the U.S. Office of Government Ethics investigate Trump&#8217;s potential violation of federal ethics regulations over the private dinner event, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/25/trump-dinner-for-meme-coin-prompts-senators-to-demand-ethics-probe.html">reported </a>CNBC.
Why It Matters: These allegations come even as the team behind the TRUMP meme coin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45012922/trump-meme-coin-surges-15-as-organizers-clarify-participation-rules-for-gala-dinner">updated its terms and condition</a>s to indicate that Trump may not attend the gala dinner and that the event may be cancelled or rescheduled at their discretion.
The controversy began after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44959727/trump-token-price-explodes-60-following-announcement-of-private-dinner-with-donald-trump">top 220 cryptocurrency holders </a>were invited to an exclusive dinner with Trump, while the top 25 holders were promised access to a VIP reception and White House tour, as well as limited-edition commemorative non-fungible tokens. The memecoin surged as much as 65% on the announcement.
The project, 80% of whose supply is controlled by an affiliate of the Trump Organization, emphasizes that TRUMP is not a political initiative or investment opportunity but an expression of support for Trump&#8217;s ideals. 
Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44555553/will-the-greatest-of-them-all-trump-memecoin-make-its-way-to-trump-media-etfs-polymarket-bettors-think-its-unlikely">promoted the meme coin</a> via his Truth Social account, deeming it &#8220;the greatest of them all&#8221;&nbsp;in March.

Trump's Memecoin Dinner Event Sparks Impeachment Call From Democratic Senator, Says POTUS Is Selling Access To Those Who Enrich Him

Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff is warning about what could come after Jerome Powell&#8217;s term as Federal Reserve chair ends. In a post that has sparked a debate on X, Schiff said he expects President Donald Trump to pick someone extremely dovish to replace Powell.
&#8220;Trump will likely nominate the most dovish replacement to ever chair the Fed,&#8221; Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1913599454369694092">wrote</a> on Saturday. &#8220;His nominee will be a loyal soldier willing to sacrifice the dollar and create as much inflation as needed to monetize exploding debt to keep interest rates artificially low.&#8221;

As usual, Schiff used the opportunity to draw a line between traditional assets and digital currencies. When a user replied, &#8220;Bitcoin wins again,&#8221; Schiff was quick to shut it down: &#8220;Not this time. Bitcoin&#8217;s days of winning are likely over.&#8221;
Another commenter joked that if Schiff were nominated for Fed chair, he&#8217;d dump all dollars and Bitcoin to buy gold. Schiff clarified, &#8220;I dump Treasuries, not dollars. I&#8217;d withdraw dollars from circulation, removing all the excess liquidity.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Warren Says Firing Powell Would &#8216;Crash Markets&#8217;</h2>
On the other side of the conversation, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44883756/warren-foresees-market-turmoil-if-trump-dismisses-feds-powell-if-powell-can-be-fired-by-trump-it-will-crash-markets">if Trump removes Powell</a> from his position, it could have severe consequences.
"I have tangled with him on a regular basis about both regulations and interest rates. But understand this: If Chairman Powell can be fired by the president of the United States, it will crash markets in the United States," Warren said during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GApxUtKDnEM">CNBC interview</a> last week.
Trump had recently taken to social media to criticize Powell, <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114352766082542122">writing</a>, &#8220;Too Late should have lowered Interest Rates, like the [European Central Bank], long ago, but he should certainly lower them now. Powell&#8217;s termination cannot come fast enough!&#8221;
Warren also emphasized the importance of the Fed&#8217;s independence, saying that if a president can manipulate interest rates, it makes the U.S. no different from &#8220;any other two-bit dictatorship.&#8221;

Trump wrote that there&#8217;s &#8220;virtually no inflation&#8221; and warned of an economic slowdown unless Powell acts &#8220;NOW.&#8221; However, Trump on Tuesday told reporters in the Oval Office <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44940900/us-futures-dollar-jump-amid-trumps-latest-comments-on-fed-nikkei-rebounds-to-three-week-high">he had &#8220;no intention&#8221; of firing Powell</a>, adding that he &#8220;never did.&#8221;

Concerns over the future of the dollar aren&#8217;t just coming from Schiff.

&#8220;There is a risk that major shifts in capital flow allocations take over from currency fundamentals and that FX moves become disorderly,&#8221; Deutsche Bank strategist George Saravelos said.

Saravelos noted that a rapid dollar decline could hurt central banks worldwide, adding, &#8220;The last thing the ECB wants is an externally imposed disinflationary shock from a loss in dollar confidence and a sharp appreciation in the euro on top of tariffs.&#8221;
The global financial system may be entering a new phase, as Saravelos put it: &#8220;We are in the midst of dramatic regime change in markets.&#8221;

After Powell, Trump's Fed Nominee 'Will Be A Loyal Soldier,' Says Peter Schiff—'Willing To Sacrifice The Dollar, Create Inflation As Needed'

A colossal explosion Saturday at a port in southern Iran, associated with a missile propellant shipment, claimed at least five lives and injured more than 700 people.
What Happened: According to an Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/iran-explosion-fire-bandar-abbas-72637c6b3e152a30045275f57ace29ed">report</a>, the blast took place at the Shahid Rajaei port near the city of Bandar Abbas. In March, the port had received a shipment of sodium perchlorate rocket fuel, a chemical commonly used in missile propellants. The explosion coincided with the third round of talks between Iran and the United States concerning Tehran&#8217;s progressing nuclear program.
Iranian authorities, while initially vague about the cause of the explosion, dismissed any links to the country&#8217;s oil industry. Ambrey, a private security firm, posited that the explosion was likely a result of mishandling the rocket fuel shipment, intended for Iranian ballistic missiles.

Despite the blast&#8217;s close proximity to the missile fuel shipment, Iran has not admitted to receiving&nbsp;the shipment. The Iranian mission&nbsp;to the United Nations has remained silent on requests for comment.
The Shahid Rajaei port, which was the target of a&nbsp;2020 cyberattack attributed to Israel, is currently under investigation by the Iranian Interior Ministry to determine the cause of the blast.
Why It Matters: This explosion, linked to a missile propellant shipment, raises serious concerns about the safety protocols in place at the Shahid Rajaei port.
The incident also comes at a critical time, amidst ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States over Tehran&#8217;s nuclear program. The lack of acknowledgment from Iran regarding the receipt of the missile fuel shipment further complicates the situation, potentially straining the already tense relations between the two nations.
The investigation by the Iranian Interior Ministry will be crucial in shedding light on the cause of the explosion and its potential implications.

Spending less money makes it easier to invest and build long-term wealth. While it's good to be responsible with your money, it's possible to take savings a little too far. Ramit Sethi, author of "I Will Teach You To Be Rich," recently threw cold water on the idea of relentlessly saving money and viewing that as a good thing.
"I don't find it inspiring to idolize people who spend as little money as possible," he stated in an <a href="https://x.com/ramit/status/1914342932187840615">X post</a>.

</ul>
While he doesn't advocate for a reckless YOLO mentality when it comes to money management, he also doesn't believe we should be celebrating the 92-year-old who died with millions of dollars. Sethi is one of the few financial experts to dive deep into the nuance of cheap vs. frugal living. Here's what you can learn from his X post.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spend Money Extravagantly On What You Love</h2>
People shouldn't be afraid to spend money when it's on things that matter. Sethi views these people as inspirations, but it's not going to do much good if you have thousands of dollars in credit card debt. He reaches a middle ground that can help people look for better role models and set better financial goals.
"I'm inspired by the people who spend their money extravagantly on the things they love while cutting costs mercilessly on the things they don't. If someone buys a $2,000 handmade blanket made by an artisan they've followed for 12 years, amazing."
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>
The handmade blanket example is valuable because it's a high-end purchase with thought. Making impulsive purchases can put you deeper into debt and result in you having a bunch of things that you don't really need. If you say no to many expenses, the few things you say yes to hold more value.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turn Off The Survival Mindset</h2>
Although a budget is a good resource to keep your spending under control, it can become problematic if you only view life with a survival mindset. Sethi believes in creating a rich life instead of one that revolves around penny-pinching.
"I'm not inspired by building a life around how little you can spend. What a tragedy to live a smaller life than you have to," he stated.&nbsp;
Budgeting and investing give you more options. When you have more money, you can go on more trips, spend on things that you enjoy, and have more financial security. Ruthlessly cutting out waste allows you to optimize every dollar you spend to maximize your personal satisfaction.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don't Idolize Anyone</h2>
Sethi's X post garnered plenty of support, as people agreed about building wealth that you could use from time to time. However, one X user shared a valuable insight that is deeper than money.
"I don't find it inspiring or wise to idolize anyone. Money and greed pursuits are the distraction that so many become obsessed with even as it derails their ability to achieve actual happiness."
To be clear, you can make a lot of money and be happy at the same time. However, some people pursue and save far more money than necessary. In some of those cases, the greedy and reckless pursuit of excessive money can hurt relationships and pull people further away from happiness.
It's also impossible to know anything about a public figure who you idolize. People only show the parts of them that they want to be seen. People who are viewed as idols very carefully craft their images and only show you their best. It's better to consider the type of person you want to become and actively walk on that path.

Ramit Sethi Claps Back At Living Cheaply: 'I Don't Find It Inspiring To Idolize People Who Spend As Little Money As Possible'

Bitcoin has surprised many analysts and investors by holding its ground amid ongoing volatility in U.S. equities. While traditional risk assets have stumbled, BTC has shown resilience, attracting attention as a potential safe haven — or at least, a less correlated play.
As of April 21, Bitcoin is trading at $87,151 — about 20% below its all-time high of $110,000. From current levels, it needs to gain another 26% to reclaim those highs. But that path is rarely linear, especially in the current macro environment, and price action is now approaching a critical zone.

<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Early this month, BTC dipped to a low of $74,450 before rallying aggressively. Since then, the bounce has been impressive, but bulls are now facing a familiar challenge. Bitcoin is currently testing the $88,000–$88,440 region — a key resistance zone that has rejected price on two prior attempts. So far, we&#8217;re seeing signs of another rejection, making this a level worth watching closely.
A confirmed breakout and successful retest of $88,000 as support could signal a shift in momentum and potentially open the door for a push toward the next key area: $92,000. If that level gets taken out with conviction, the path to new all-time highs becomes far more realistic, as liquidity thins and price discovery takes over.
However, the bullish trend on lower timeframes has a clear line in the sand — the $83,000 level. This is the structural support zone that bulls must defend to keep the short-term uptrend intact. A break below could lead to deeper pullbacks and increased selling pressure, possibly dragging BTC back into the mid-$70Ks for another retest.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
What makes this setup particularly interesting is the contrast between Bitcoin&#8217;s relative strength and the broader market's weakness. With the S&amp;P 500 and NASDAQ showing signs of fatigue, BTC&#8217;s ability to diverge may attract new capital — especially if it continues to hold above $83K and builds a base above $88K.
In summary, Bitcoin is nearing a make-or-break moment. If bulls can reclaim $88,000 and push toward $92,000, the next leg up could take us into uncharted territory. But if the rejection holds and $83,000 fails, a deeper correction could be on the table before the next major attempt at new highs.
Either way, the next few sessions will be crucial in setting the tone for the coming weeks.

Bitcoin Nears Critical Resistance With Just 26% to Go Until All-Time Highs — Can the Bulls Break Through or Is a Pullback Looming?

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44450807/zuckerberg-says-2025-will-be-the-year-an-ai-assistant-hits-1-billion-users-and-he-wants-it-to-be-meta-ai">Artificial intelligence </a>may be advancing faster than users can keep up—and according to AI pioneer Andrew Ng, the secret to working better with it might be doing less.&nbsp;
Ng, a co-founder of Google Brain and longtime educator in machine learning, said in a <a href="https://x.com/AndrewYNg/status/1907843984158036137?t=9eHIjEj07rCMxFe_tmNS3w=19">post on X</a> on April 3&nbsp; that "lazy prompting"—providing minimal context when inputting information into large language models—can often be more effective than carefully crafted instructions.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Developers Are Doing More With Less</h2>
"Lazy prompting" refers to using as little instruction as possible when asking an LLM for help. Ng explained that many developers simply copy and paste error messages—sometimes several pages long—into AI models like ChatGPT, and receive accurate suggestions for fixes without providing further context.
"We add details to the prompt only when they are needed," Ng wrote in the post. "Most LLMs are smart enough to figure out that you want them to help understand and propose fixes."
The approach is especially popular among software engineers using generative AI tools to write and debug code.
Ng cited this workflow as a form of "<a href="https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383">vibe coding</a>," a term introduced by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy in February, described a new approach to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44522899/anthropic-ceo-says-ai-could-write-90-of-code-in-3-to-6-months-warns-every-industry-will-be-affected"> software development</a> where AI tools handle the bulk of coding tasks.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Ng's comments come just days after <a href="https://x.com/AndrewYNg/status/1904929635043074478?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">he launched</a> "Vibe Coding 101," a new online course aimed at beginners learning to use AI tools for programming. The course emphasizes natural language input as a key skill for modern developers.
While prompting guides typically recommend including detailed context to get more accurate results from LLMs, Ng argued that in some cases, simpler inputs perform just as well—particularly when the model is capable of interpreting intent without being told explicitly.
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.18870">A study</a> titled &#8220;LLMs achieve adult human performance on higher-order theory of mind tasks&#8221; found that models like GPT-4 and Flan-PaLM reach adult-level and near adult-level performance on Theory of Mind (ToM) tasks.&nbsp;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/overplay">Mark Cuban Backs This Innovative Startup That Turns Videos into Games&nbsp; &#8212; Claim Your Share Now</a>
Specifically, GPT-4 exceeded adult performance on 6th order inferences, indicating that LLMs are approaching human-level reasoning in controlled conditions.​
Still, Ng cautioned that lazy prompting only works under certain conditions. It is most useful when users are working in fast feedback environments, such as web apps or chat interfaces, where they can adjust and iterate quickly based on the AI's responses.
It may be less effective when using APIs or when working with models that require highly structured input, he added. "Lazy prompting is an advanced prompting technique that works best when the LLM has sufficient preexisting context and the ability to infer intent," Ng said.

How Hormel Foods, Hershey, And Horace Mann Educators Can Put Cash In Your Pocket

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets rebounded this week as President Donald Trump softened his stance on trade and monetary policy. He indicated that tariffs on Chinese imports could decrease from the current 145% and affirmed his support for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, alleviating investor concerns about central bank independence.
The S&amp;P 500 regained nearly 80% of its post-April 2 losses, with notable gains in technology stocks. ServiceNow (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) led with a 20% weekly increase, while Tesla (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NYSE">TSLA</a>) surged 9.9% after CEO Elon Musk announced a reduced focus on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Despite the rally, economic indicators signaled caution. U.S. private sector growth slowed to a 16-month low, and consumer sentiment declined sharply. Inflation expectations rose, with one-year forecasts reaching 6.5%, the highest since 1981, suggesting persistent economic uncertainty.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

What Happened:&nbsp;In an interview <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/style/phoebe-gates-bill-gates-resale-phia.html">with</a> the New York Times, Bill Gates mentioned that while he would have supported Phoebe&#8217;s business, it would have involved certain conditions that might have complicated their relationship.
"I would have kept her on a short leash and be doing business reviews, which I would have found tricky, and I probably would have been overly nice, but wondered if it was the right thing to do. Luckily, it never happened," he said.
Phoebe launched Phia on April 24, a platform that provides&nbsp;price comparisons for clothing across&nbsp;40,000 sites, aiming to offer users the best deals.
Phoebe, who&nbsp;graduated from Stanford in 2024, shared on her podcast &#8220;The Burnouts&#8221; that her father was initially hesitant about her entrepreneurial ambitions.
Dropping out of college, unlike her father, was not an option for her. Despite feeling like a &#8220;nepo baby&#8221; during her freshman year, Phoebe has&nbsp;secured over half a million&nbsp;dollars in funding from venture capitalists and angel investors, as reported by The Times.

She acknowledged the advantages her family background provided but also emphasized the internal pressure she feels to succeed. Phoebe and her cofounder, Sofia Kianni, believe their business taps into a significant market, catering to young women seeking the best clothing deals online.
Why It Matters: The launch of&nbsp;Phia&nbsp;by Phoebe Gates comes at a time when her father,&nbsp;Bill Gates, has been vocal about the transformative potential of technology.
In a recent discussion, Gates predicted that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44857520/bill-gates-says-his-kids-and-grandkids-will-live-in-a-very-changed-world-as-ai-puts-an-end-to-shortage-of-teachers-and-doctors">artificial intelligence</a>&nbsp;will revolutionize industries, potentially altering the future landscape for his children and grandchildren. This context highlights the importance of Phoebe&#8217;s venture, as it aligns with the broader technological shifts her father envisions.
Moreover, the Gates family has been in the spotlight due to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45002884/bill-gates-ex-wife-melinda-french-gates-brushes-off-criticism-from-elon-musk-and-bill-ackman-says-im-in-the-arena-doing-the-work-on-her-philanthropic-efforts">Melinda French Gates</a>&nbsp;addressing criticism from prominent figures like&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;regarding her philanthropic work.
Bill Gates himself faced skepticism when he left academia to start&nbsp;Microsoft, as recounted by his former&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44893684/bill-gates-harvard-professor-thought-what-a-waste-when-he-left-academia-but-that-small-company-he-founded-changed-the-world">Harvard professor</a>.

Bill Gates Says 'Luckily' His Daughter Phoebe Gates Never Asked Him To Back Her Business

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s trade war with China has led to a notable decrease in U.S. imports from the Asian nation. Early shipping data reveals a significant drop, as companies scrambled to stockpile goods before tariffs increased to 145%.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://fortune.com/article/trump-trade-war-ocean-shipping-cancellations-imports-china/">Fortune</a>, the weeks following the April 9 &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; saw ocean-shipped orders from China fall sharply. Import volumes decreased by over 10% in the week of April 7 and nearly 30% in the week of April 14.
Although the Trump administration is considering reducing some tariffs, a proposed port fee could levy up to $1.5 million per visit for Chinese vessels at U.S. ports.
The Port of Long Beach, California, reported fewer ship arrivals, supporting Project44&#8217;s data.&nbsp;Gene Seroka, executive director of&nbsp;the Port of LA, anticipated a 35% drop in arrivals within two weeks.

Logistics experts caution that ongoing disruptions may lead to supply chain issues and increased consumer costs.
Dean Croke from DAT highlighted inventory management challenges amid tariff uncertainties, while Peter Sand from Xeneta emphasized the strain on global supply chains.
Why It Matters: The trade war&#8217;s impact on imports is part of a broader economic strategy by President Trump.
On April 23, Trump announced a substantial reduction in tariffs on Chinese goods, though not eliminating them entirely. He emphasized that the final tariff rate would be significantly lower than the current 145%, but not zero.
This stance was reiterated on April 25, when Trump, aboard Air Force One, stated that tariffs would remain unless China made substantial concessions. He stressed the importance of &#8220;opening China&#8221; for American businesses, causing market fluctuations.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45003278/flexport-ceo-joins-galloway-tariff-workarounds-and-fraud-will-force-trump-to-walk-back-on-trade-war-with-china">Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen</a> predicted that the U.S. might eventually &#8220;blink&#8221; in the trade standoff, as the market finds ways around tariffs. He noted differing perceptions of the conflict between the two countries, with Americans viewing it as a domestic issue and the Chinese seeing it as a foreign imposition.

Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/40038840/bill-ackman-lost-400m-on-netflix-shares-in-2022-how-much-would-the-billionaire-investor-have-if-he-d">decision to sell his</a> Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) shares during a rough patch in 2022 has become one of the most high-profile missed opportunities today.
What Happened: In January 2022, Ackman revealed that his hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management, had purchased more than $1 billion worth of Netflix stock—about 3.1 million shares—when it was trading around $400.
The move came after Netflix stock had fallen more than 65% amid concerns over slowing growth and a tech-sector sell-off. However, the bet soured quickly.
By April, Netflix's stock plummeted further following a disappointing earnings report and investor uncertainty surrounding its ad-based subscription plans.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44995039/netflix-ceo-says-streaming-company-saved-hollywood-as-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs">Netflix CEO Says Streaming Company &#8216;Saved Hollywood&#8217; As Stock Hits New All-Time Highs</a>
Ackman exited the position just three months later, when shares were trading near $225, taking a loss of approximately 40%. In total, Pershing Square's short-lived Netflix investment cost the firm an estimated $400 million.
At the time, the sale seemed prudent. Netflix's stock continued to slide, bottoming out near $175 in the following months. But in a surprising turn, both the broader tech sector and Netflix rebounded sharply. As of today, Netflix shares are trading around $1,096.87—a stunning recovery of over 168.085% from Ackman's highest estimated buy-in.
Had Ackman held onto the position, those 3.1 million shares would now be worth nearly $3.4 billion, turning a brief misstep into one of his most lucrative trades ever.
Why It's Important: Last week, Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters reassured investors that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44881044/netflix-downplays-recession-fears-amid-market-volatility-triggered-by-trump-tariffs-co-ceo-greg-peters-raves-about-resilient-799-ad-plan-we-havent-seen-any-significant-changes">the company remains confident</a>, even amid market turbulence and growing recession fears driven by new tariffs.
He went on to say that entertainment has traditionally remained strong during economic downturns, and Netflix continues to see that pattern hold.
Co-CEO Ted Sarandos added that the company is staying focused on factors within its control, stating, "We're not changing anything in the forecast."
For the first quarter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering">Netflix reported revenue of $10.54 billion</a>—a 12.5% year-over-year increase—slightly beating Wall Street's estimate of $10.52 billion.
Global markets have seen heightened volatility in response to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44657800/trumps-tariffs-stir-global-markets-wall-street-loses-2-trillion-and-more-this-week-in-economics">new trade tariffs introduced</a> by President Donald Trump. The S&amp;P 500 is down by 6.54% year-to-date while the Nasdaq-100 has slipped 8.40% during the same period.
Price Action: Netflix shares are up 23.70% year-to-date and have soared 94.21% over the past 12 months, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0417">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The streaming giant holds a growth score of 69.79% and a momentum rating of 95.93, based on Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <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</a> leading entertainment and tech companies.
Netflix currently has a consensus price target of $1,082.97 from 32 analysts, with the highest target of $1,514 issued by Rosenblatt on April 21. Recent ratings from Evercore ISI Group, Macquarie, and Wedbush point to an average target of $1,183.33, suggesting an 8.17% potential upside.

Bill Ackman Missed Out On $3.4 Billion Payday By Selling Netflix Stock Before The Boom: NFLX Now Seen As A Recession Play

In an interview published Friday, President Donald Trump expressed openness to a tax increase on millionaires, despite previous opposition. He noted that his main concern is the potential impact on his electoral prospects.
What Happened: In an interview <a href="https://time.com/7280106/trump-interview-100-days-2025/">with</a> Time magazine, Trump referenced former President George H.W. Bush, who lost re-election after breaking a no-tax promise, as a cautionary tale.
Trump stated, "I saw Bush where they said, where he said ‘Read my lips' and he lost an election."
Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s advisors are reportedly debating whether to back a tax hike on those earning over $1 million annually, part of the GOP&#8217;s 2025 tax plan. Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have expressed concerns about millionaires leaving the country if taxes rise.

Despite these concerns, Trump said he&#8217;d be &#8220;honored&#8221; to pay more taxes, provided it doesn&#8217;t jeopardize his election chances.
He emphasized the importance of supporting the middle class, saying, "I'd be raising [taxes] on wealthy to take care of middle class."
Opposition from Trump&#8217;s allies, including Newt Gingrich, Steve Moore, and Larry Kudlow, highlights the internal GOP debate on the issue. They argue the plan contradicts Trump&#8217;s tax-cut promises.
Why It Matters: The potential shift in Trump&#8217;s tax stance is significant given his previous economic policies. Recently, Trump proposed replacing federal income taxes with revenue from tariffs, a move criticized by economists for its feasibility.
In an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44944580/trump-says-tariffs-could-replace-income-tax-experts-warn-the-math-doesnt-work">interview</a> on April 15, he suggested tariffs could generate enough revenue to eliminate personal income taxes.
This idea has led to market volatility, with investors uncertain about the implications of such tariffs. Finance expert Ramit Sethi cautioned against making hasty decisions based on these announcements, emphasizing the potential financial risks involved.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44852424/you-could-literally-cost-yourself-millions-finance-expert-warns-against-panic-decision-on-trump-tariffs">advice</a> comes amid rising interest in foreign trade zones (FTZs) as companies seek to mitigate tariff impacts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As An AbbVie Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from AbbVie dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $31,088, which is around 183 shares at $170.16 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (3.86% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0386 = $31,088 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
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>.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find AbbVie stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 183 shares of stock.&nbsp;

How Much Would It Take To Earn $100 A Month From AbbVie Stock

A 25% tariff on imported cars is revving up the pressure on European luxury automakers, and high-end buyers in the U.S. could face five-figure price hikes, according to Tim Urquhart, principal automotive analyst at S&amp;P Global Mobility.
President Donald Trump said on April 10 that his administration would enforce a 25% tariff on imported vehicles as part of his broader &#8220;reciprocal trade&#8221; policy, though he has since suggested he may delay the move.
While some tariffs were delayed for 90 days, this particular levy stayed in place — and it&#8217;s hitting the ultra-luxury market hard.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ferrari Raises Prices as Other Brands Scramble</h2>
Ferrari <a href="https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/corporate/articles/ferrari-commercial-policy-update">announced</a> last month that it would increase the prices of nearly all of its models sold in the U.S. by up to 10%. The hike applies even to vehicles ordered months prior, including the newly released Purosangue SUV and the 12 Cilindri grand tourer built in Maranello, Italy.
Urquhart told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-tariffs-threaten-us-love-affair-with-european-luxury-cars-2025-4">Business Insider</a>, "It&#8217;s very bad news. There&#8217;s no getting around that. Ferrari, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce are in a tough spot — they can't absorb a 25% tariff, so that will have to be passed on to customers."
Urquhart added that ultra-luxury brands have more pricing flexibility than mass-market automakers due to their premium sticker prices.
Rolls-Royce, a subsidiary of BMW, is still assessing the situation. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/19/bentley-could-pass-costs-of-us-tariffs-to-buyers-due-to-drop-in-chinese-demand">Bentley</a>, owned by Volkswagen AG, will continue U.S. imports but hasn&#8217;t decided on pricing adjustments.&nbsp;

Audi, a Volkswagen subsidiary, was holding deliveries at U.S. ports as it weighed the next steps, according to <a href="https://www.autonews.com/volkswagen/audi/an-trump-tariffs-audi-holds-inventory-0403/">Automotive News</a>.
Mercedes-Benz is also reevaluating its lower-end lineup. As reported by<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-01/mercedes-weighs-pulling-us-entry-level-cars-over-trump-tariffs"> Bloomberg</a>, Mercedes may pull some of its entry-level models from the U.S. market due to profitability concerns.
While several automakers posted strong sales gains in March, <a href="https://newsroom.porsche.com/en_US/2025/company/Q1-PCNA-Sales-39125.html">Porsche</a> reported its best-ever first quarter in the U.S., with Q1 2025 sales jumping 40.6%. The company credited strong demand for the 911 and Macan models for the record growth.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Create Long-Term Headaches</h2>
The broader economic fallout could be steep. A report by<a href="https://www.andersoneconomicgroup.com/tariffs-economic-impact-on-auto-industry/"> Anderson Economic Group</a> estimated that U.S. consumers could pay over $30 billion in added costs from the tariffs in the first year alone. The report also mentioned that the average imported vehicle price could climb by $2,500 to $5,000, with ultra-luxury models rising even more.
Strategy and insight director at Cox Automotive, Philip Nothard, told<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-tariffs-threaten-us-love-affair-with-european-luxury-cars-2025-4"> Business Insider</a> that shifting production to the U.S. to bypass tariffs would be slow and costly. "You can't just suddenly set up production plants, supply chain, and labor overnight," he said.
