On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant moves in the stock market, focusing on Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>).
The Shopify Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s funds, including Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>), collectively acquired 228,824 shares in Shopify. This move comes after Shopify reported a 26.8% year-over-year increase in revenue for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45286313/shopify-q1-gross-margin-contracts-misses-profit-estimate">fiscal first quarter</a>, reaching $2.36 billion, which surpassed analyst expectations of $2.33 billion. Despite this revenue growth, Shopify&#8217;s stock experienced a decline following the announcement due to a contraction in gross margins. On Thursday, the shares ended 0.5% lower at $94. The Ark purchase amounted to $21.5 million.
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest trimmed its position in the Alex Karp-led company across its ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW funds, offloading a total of 135,572 shares. Based on Thursday's closing price of $119.15—up 7.85% on the day—the trades were valued at approximately $16.1 million.
This decision follows Palantir&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45292541/palantir-pltr-stock-gains-5-thursday-whats-going-on">recent earnings report</a>, which showed a 39% increase in revenue year-over-year, reaching $883.86 million and surpassing analyst expectations. The company&#8217;s U.S. revenue saw a significant 55% rise, driven by a 71% surge in commercial revenue. Despite the positive earnings, Ark Invest has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45274539/cathie-wood-strengthens-ai-chip-holdings-with-nvidia-and-amd-purchases-reduces-palantir-position-by-another-38-8-million">trimming its position</a> in Palantir. On Wednesday, the firm offloaded shares worth $38.8 million, while on Tuesday it had sold $41 million worth. Palantir makes up 6.01% of Ark's portfolio by weight, with total holdings valued at $301.3 million.
The Block Trade
Ark Invest also decreased its stake in the Jack Dorsey-led company, selling a total of 256,593 shares across its ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW funds. This decision follows Block&#8217;s disappointing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152696/block-shares-drop-after-worse-than-expected-q1-results-details">first-quarter earnings report</a>, which revealed earnings of 56 cents per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 87 cents. Additionally, the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-focused company&#8217;s quarterly revenue of $5.77 billion fell short of the expected $6.2 billion.
Other Key Trades:

<li>ARKK and ARKG purchased shares of Veracyte Inc. </li>

Cathie Wood's $21.5 Million Shopify Grab Defies Post-Earnings Dip, Ark Continues Dumping Palantir, Also Chops Jack Dorsey's Block

Memecoins inspired by Pope Leo XIV surged on Thursday after the U.S.-born priest was elected as the new global head of the Catholic Church.
What happened: Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based POPE267 skyrocketed 1080% in the last 24 hours, raking in a market capitalization of over $60 million, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/dexscan/solana/EdHLMZn7YpDytZUU2ojYRHaHiddmYKyxZz96S5Dwqy8G/">according </a>to CoinMarketCap. Over $14 million worth of tokens were transacted in the last 24 hours.
The memecoin refers to Leo XIV&#8217;s election as the Catholic Church&#8217;s 267th leader.
Similarly, a memecoin called POPE69, which mentions his age, popped 180% to a market valuation of $741,630.
Note that these tokens operated at thin liquidity and could only be traded on Solana-based decentralized exchanges. CoinMarketCap issued a disclaimer stating that the memecoins have yet to be validated and urged traders to DYOR.

Why It Matters: The upsurge followed the election of Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45298795/who-is-new-pope-leo-xiv-francis-appointee-first-american-pope-has-supported-workers-rights">as the new Pope</a>, succeeding the late Pope Francis.
Prevost, the first American pope, was widely regarded as a long shot for the papacy.
In his remarks on the balcony of St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica on Thursday, Leo XIV called for the church to "build bridges" while paying tribute to Pope Francis.
Benzinga Note: Investing in meme coins with thin liquidity can be highly speculative and involve significant risk. Such meme coins may lack intrinsic value and can be driven by market sentiment, social media trends and prone to high fluctuations

Pope Leo XIV-Themed Memecoins Surge After US-Born Robert Francis Prevost Becomes Rome's New Bishop

On Wednesday, Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) chose not to provide full-year fiscal 2026 guidance, with its chief financial officer citing unpredictable market signals, partner caution, and potential macroeconomic disruptions as key reasons.
What Happened: Speaking on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45268429/arm-holdings-stock-plunges-after-q4-results-heres-why">company's fourth-quarter earnings</a> call, Arm CFO Jason Child addressed why the semiconductor design giant opted to withhold fiscal 2026 guidance — a departure from its usual practice.
Child explained that while Arm typically offers annual forecasts with a reasonable range to cover expected deal timing, this year's market environment presented unusually murky signals, particularly from partners and customers.
"Almost none of them are providing full-year guidance," Child said. "The amount of signal I'm getting from partners, whether it's through guidance or from other reporting, is just less than I've had in the past."
The CFO also pointed to the broader macroeconomic risks, especially tariff-related uncertainties, which add another layer of unpredictability. "If I provide a range, I'd have to give you an even wider range than I had last year," he stated. " I don't know if it would be that helpful."
Why It's Important: Arm Holdings posted quarterly earnings of 55 cents per share, surpassing analyst expectations of 52 cents. Revenue for the quarter reached $1.24 billion, exceeding the $1.23 billion consensus estimate and rising from $928 million in the same period a year ago.
ARM Price Action: Arm&#8217;s stock fell 11.63% to $109.75 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
ARM Holdings PLC currently holds a consensus price target of $143.81, according to ratings from 32 analysts. The highest target comes from Rosenblatt, which set a price of $225 on Feb. 6, 2025.
The three latest analyst updates from UBS, Wells Fargo, and Barclays collectively assigned an average price target of $146.67, suggesting a potential upside of 33.64%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ARM/analyst-ratings"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/08023454/Screenshot-2025-05-08-at-12.04.48%E2%80%AFPM-1024x379.png" alt="" class="wp-image-907143" /></a></figure>

Arm CFO Explains Why Company Withheld Fiscal 2026 Full Year Guidance Amid Uncertainty From Customers And Tariff Impacts: 'The Amount Of Signals I'm Getting…'

For many adults returning to school later in life, one of the biggest questions is how to pay for it. A recent listener of Suze Orman&#8216;s "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-how-do-i-settle-a-deceased-parent-s-credit-card-debt">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, Will, faced this exact dilemma.&nbsp;
At 35, Will is planning to pursue a master's degree in nursing — a move he hopes will boost his earning potential. The program will cost about $30,000 over three years. Will has enough savings to cover the tuition but wonders if taking out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45214832/with-16-trillion-owed-by-427-million-student-loan-borrowers-federal-government-resumes-collections-after-5-years-as-delinquencies-reach-record-high-transunion-warns">student loans</a> might help him come out ahead financially in the long run.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case for Paying Cash</h2>
Will's situation is fairly strong: he works full-time as a nursing director, has about $100,000 in retirement savings, another $130,000 in IRAs and other assets, and owns a home. His only debt, outside of his mortgage, is $30,000 in existing student loans — and he admits he "hates" having that debt.
That's where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45152586/why-did-the-market-go-up-last-week-suze-orman-says-its-because-of-one-word-and-that-word-is-hope">Orman</a> focused her advice.
"If you have the money now to be able to pay $10,000 a year towards it, I would do that rather than going into debt," she said. Orman noted that Will's emotional response to his existing debt — that he hates it — should be taken seriously. Carrying more debt, especially when it causes stress or frustration, could undermine the benefits of the degree.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is the Master's Worth It Financially?</h2>
Before making a decision, Orman urged Will to research how much more he could realistically earn with a master's in nursing. "You really need to check and see what would that do for you financially," she said. That means weighing the future salary boost against the cost of the degree — and considering what those funds might grow into if invested instead.
This advice echoes <a href="https://freopp.org/whitepapers/does-college-pay-off-a-comprehensive-return-on-investment-analysis/">research</a> from the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, which found that nearly 43% of master's degree programs leave students financially worse off. While some professional degrees — like law, medicine, and dentistry — tend to deliver strong returns on investment, many master's programs don't provide enough of a salary bump to justify the high tuition costs.
The study did show that master's degrees in nursing tend to have a "very strong ROI," so that could play in Will's favor should he choose to pursue a higher degree.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Student Loans: A Tool, Not a Default</h2>
Student loans aren't necessarily bad — but they should be used with caution, especially later in life. Taking on more debt in your 30s or 40s can stretch into your 50s and beyond, potentially affecting your ability to save for retirement or meet other financial goals.
Orman's takeaway? If Will truly believes in the value of the degree and can pay for it out of pocket without sacrificing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45014941/wealth-3-0-building-financial-security-in-a-decentralized-economy">financial security</a>, that's the better route. But if the ROI isn't compelling — or if the debt would bring emotional and financial strain — he may want to reconsider.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
Going back to school is a personal decision, but the way you fund it should be a financial one. Before choosing loans over cash, compare the real cost of borrowing with the potential salary gain — and ask whether taking on new debt aligns with your financial peace of mind.

'Will I Have More Money In The Long Run By Taking Out Student Loans Instead Of Paying Cash?' Suze Orman Weighs In

A Massachusetts man has been arrested and charged with the attempted assassination of a Cabinet nominee, as well as for carrying a deadly weapon on the Capitol grounds.
What Happened: Ryan English, age 24, was apprehended in late January for his attempt to assassinate Treasury Secretary nominee, Scott Bessent, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5291393-massachusetts-man-charged-with-attempt-to-assassinate-cabinet-member/">reported</a> The Hill. The Department of Justice disclosed that English had brought two Molotov cocktails and a knife onto the Capitol grounds.
Upon his arrest, English&nbsp;was found in possession of&nbsp;50 milliliter bottles of vodka, a grey cloth attached to the top,&nbsp;and a green lighter. A&nbsp;letter expressing remorse for his actions,&nbsp;addressed to a family member, was also discovered on his person.
According to authorities, English initially&nbsp;planned to target House Speaker&nbsp;Mike Johnson&nbsp;(R-La.) and Defense Secretary&nbsp;Pete Hegseth. However, he shifted his focus to Bessent upon learning about the timing of Bessent&#8217;s confirmation hearing.
English is now facing charges for carrying a dangerous weapon or incendiary device on the Capitol grounds and unlawful possession of an incendiary device. The DOJ revealed that English confessed to traveling to the District of Columbia with the intent to murder a government official or set fire to a Washington, D.C.-based think-tank. He made his initial court appearance on Thursday and is currently in police custody.

$1000 Invested In Caterpillar 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Elon Musk and Bill Gates have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44434228/elon-musk-said-bill-gates-would-be-obliterated-for-shorting-tesla-but-short-sellers-just-made-16-2-billion-in-3-months-betting-against-him">never exactly seen eye to eye</a>—and when Gates cast doubt on the future of electric trucks back in 2020, Musk wasn't about to let it slide. He made it a point to publicly respond.
It all started when Gates published a detailed blog post on GatesNotes titled "<a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/moving-around-in-a-zero-carbon-world">How Do We Move In A Zero Carbon World</a>." In it, he laid out his roadmap for decarbonizing transportation.&nbsp;
Gates acknowledged the growing success of electric vehicles for personal use, pointing out that battery prices had dropped 85% since 2010. He also cheered on legacy automakers like GM and Ford for launching electric pickups, and newer players like Rivian and Bollinger.

</ul>
But when it came to heavy-duty vehicles—like 18-wheelers, cargo ships, and passenger jets—Gates didn't see a future for batteries.
"The problem is that batteries are big and heavy," he explained. "The more weight you're trying to move, the more batteries you need to power the vehicle. But the more batteries you use, the more weight you add—and the more power you need."
Even with major improvements in battery tech, Gates argued that electric trucks would probably "never be a practical solution" for long-haul transport. Instead, he backed biofuels and electrofuels for these heavier, energy-intensive applications.
Noticeably, while Gates highlighted several electric truck makers, Tesla's Semi wasn't mentioned at all.
Musk, known for speaking his mind, wasn't having it.
When an X user asked for his take on Gates' comments, Musk replied bluntly: "He has no clue."

Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
It wasn't just a casual disagreement. The jab reflected a deeper rift between the two billionaires—Gates taking a cautious, research-first stance and Musk betting big on pushing technology past its limits.
Gates' blog went beyond trucks. He explained that while transportation gets a lot of attention in climate discussions, it actually accounts for just 16% of global emissions—less than how we power homes, grow food, and manufacture goods. Still, he stressed the importance of decarbonizing how we move, especially since limiting travel would damage economies and hurt vulnerable communities worldwide.
His solution? Use clean electricity where possible, like personal EVs and city buses, but rely on alternative fuels for everything else. He pointed to promising advancements in biofuels and electrofuels, even though he admitted both were still expensive and underfunded.
But Musk was already all-in on making electric trucks practical. Tesla's Semi was in development, promising to defy the battery weight concerns Gates described.&nbsp;

In September, a user on X shared an excerpt from Walter Isaacson's biography of Musk, which covered the long-running feud—including disagreements over EVs, Mars, and Gates' decision to short Tesla stock.
Musk seized the opportunity to <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1701142930025574703">once again address Gates' electric truck claims</a>.
"Gates also said the Tesla Semi was impossible, even though it was literally being driven all over the country," Musk replied.
He added, "When I asked what battery Wh/kg and truck Wh/mile he was using to reach the conclusion that it's impossible, Gates had no idea, but still stuck with his conclusion."
By then, the Tesla Semi had hit the roads, with early models logging serious mileage and companies like PepsiCo integrating them into commercial fleets.&nbsp;
To be fair, Gates wasn't entirely wrong in 2020—battery weight and range were, and still are, major hurdles for long-haul electric trucks. But Musk's vision? It's proven far more practical than Gates, or many other skeptics, predicted.
So, while Gates took the cautious road, Musk kept his foot on the accelerator. And true to form, he had no problem saying <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43880898/im-in-awe-bill-gates-says-elon-musk-is-brilliant-rich-and-influential-but-admits-hes-been-mean-to-me-at-times">exactly what he thought along the way</a>.
