A recent caller on &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwLNqhEA1yU">The Dave Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; shared an emotional story about how her husband fell for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40799485/cryptocurrency-scams-cost-americans-5-6b-in-2023-fbi-report-shows">crypto scam</a> and lost nearly their entire retirement savings.
&#8220;This weekend, I received some devastating news,&#8221; the woman said, her voice breaking. &#8220;My husband was scammed out of almost his entire 401(k). Now it&#8217;s tax time, and we&#8217;re going to have to pay taxes on it. We have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45181755/58-year-old-with-no-retirement-says-his-ex-left-him-broke-and-hes-sick-of-working-dave-ramsey-says-he-can-build-a-500k-nest-egg-in-10-years">no more retirement</a>, and our savings is going to be wiped out.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">They Thought They Were Financially Secure</h2>
The couple, both in their late 50s, had paid off their home in 2022 and were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43816145/i-dont-have-any-debt-kevin-oleary-pays-for-everything-in-cash-but-a-finance-youtuber-points-out-its-easy-to-avoid-debt-when-youre-rich">debt-free</a>. They were living on her husband&#8217;s $98,000 annual income after she had to quit working in 2023 due to cancer and side effects from medication.

</ul>
She explained that her husband had initially told her he invested $30,000 in crypto after feeling financially pressured to secure their future. He apparently showed her that they had made about $300,000 or $400,000 in an investing app. When she asked him where he got the money from, he said the 401(k).&nbsp;
But as tax season approached and key tax forms didn&#8217;t arrive, she grew suspicious. When she pressed for answers, he finally came clean: he had actually invested $270,000 and lost nearly all of it.
&#8220;It was a company in Hong Kong,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I looked up the address, and it was in the slums of Hong Kong.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey Calls Out the Deception</h2>
Dave Ramsey did not hold back. &#8220;Does he now own that this is stupid, or is he still defending it?&#8221; he asked. When the caller confirmed her husband admitted fault, Ramsey replied, &#8220;That&#8217;s important because otherwise he&#8217;s going to do it again.&#8221;
Ramsey continued: &#8220;He not only did something stupid, he lied about it at length. Deceived, created a web, a full scenario of lies—that concerns me actually more than his stupidity.&#8221;
The caller remained hopeful, saying she feels good most days and is thankful for the time she has despite her health issues. Ramsey encouraged them to rebuild, suggesting they max out their 401(k) and Roth IRA contributions and work another 10 to 12 years to recover.
He also pointed out a key principle: &#8220;If you have to hide the investment or the financial move from your spouse—warning, warning, warning—you&#8217;re screwing up.&#8221;

He Created A Web Full Of Lies, That Concerns Me, Says Dave Ramsey After A Caller Reveals Husband Got Scammed Out Of $270K From His 401(k)

Mattel's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NYSE">MAT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 13.87% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 12.22 million shares sold short, which is 6.15% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.88 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Mattel has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Mattel's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Mattel's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.42%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

In the current market session, Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFM#NASDAQ">SFM</a>) stock price is at $165.12, after a 1.73% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 0.27%, and in the past year, by 104.64%.

<h3>Sprouts Farmers Market P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Sprouts Farmers Market has a better P/E ratio of 37.84 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 33.0 of the Consumer Staples Distribution &amp; Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747843228_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) soared to a new all-time high on Wednesday, crossing $109,000 amid rising investor confidence and renewed momentum in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction#:~:text=By%202025%2C%20Bitcoin%20is%20projected,projecting%20prices%20upwards%20of%20%24180%2C000.">the digital asset market</a>.
What Happened: Bitcoin&#8217;s new high of $109,500 on Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), surpasses the previous record set in January, underlining Bitcoin's resilience and growing role in macro portfolios.
The world's largest cryptocurrency has staged a sharp recovery from its April 8 low of $76,320, a day that coincided with a broader downturn in equities driven by fears of a renewed U.S. trade conflict. 
Since then, Bitcoin has rebounded over 40%, bolstered by both technical momentum and a favorable macroeconomic environment.
More than $50 million in short positions were liquidated within a single hour as the rally gathered steam, signaling a wave of forced buying and renewed bullish sentiment. 
The surge in price is accompanied by fundamental strength: over 33,000 BTC were added to short-term holder supply in just the past week, while long-term holders have quietly accumulated nearly half a million BTC since March.
What experts Are Saying: Bitcoin's rise comes at a time when digital assets are increasingly diverging from traditional risk markets.
"This isn&#8217;t just noise—it's conviction," Iliya Kalchev, analyst at Nexo Dispatch told Benzinga. "We're seeing a reshuffling of the supply landscape that supports durable upside rather than a speculative spike."
As global investors reassess their exposure to U.S. equities amid trade tensions and inflation uncertainty, assets like Bitcoin have drawn inflows as potential hedges and alternative stores of value.

Standard Chartered had previously forecast <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45034209/bitcoin-could-hit-120000-in-q2-says-standard-chartereds-geoff-kendrick">a fresh high in Q2</a>, citing increased asset reallocation among institutional players.
While altcoins like Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) also posted modest gains of 1–3%, the spotlight remained firmly on Bitcoin. 
Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has postponed decisions on several new exchange-traded fund proposals tied to major altcoins, including XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), DOGE and SOL, delaying the potential next wave of ETF-driven market expansion.
Gadi Chait, Investment Manager at Xapo Bank, emphasized that Bitcoin's current momentum is underpinned by spot market participation. 
"Funding rates on Binance remained negative through early May, and neutral funding yields have compressed sharply," he told Benzinga. "That indicates fresh capital entering without overleveraged froth."
Chait also pointed to a rare convergence of supportive macro and policy factors. "We've got a temporary cooling of U.S.–China tariff escalation, softer inflation prints, and the first real bipartisan tailwind in Washington with the FIT21 bill. 
At the same time, the UK's regulatory framework is nearing final form. All of this creates room for allocators to reenter the market."
What&#8217;s Next: Institutional participation is no longer marginal.
BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), recently exceeded $62 billion in assets under management, reinforcing Bitcoin's evolving status as a mainstream investment instrument.
Traders are closely watching the $108,000 support level for confirmation of continued bullish momentum. 
A decisive break higher could propel Bitcoin toward $110,000 in the coming days. 
Macro watchers are also awaiting speeches from Federal Reserve officials and key U.S. economic data later this week for clues on future monetary policy.

What's Going On With ChargePoint Stock On Wednesday?

When your dad is one of the richest people on the planet, you might assume you'd never have to worry about scraping together money for home repairs—especially not for something as practical as a kitchen remodel. But for Warren Buffett's daughter, Susie Buffett., the rules were different. She wasn't looking for a handout. She was asking for a loan—and still got a hard no.
The story was first shared publicly in a 2006 interview on "Good Morning America," where Susie <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44889632/warren-buffetts-son-cashed-in-90k-instead-of-waiting-on-500-million-now-hes-using-buffett-bucks-to-build-his-own-dream-town-in-new-york">appeared with her siblings</a>. She mentioned asking her father for a loan to remodel her kitchen after having a baby.
A few years later, Toronto's <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/relationships/peter-buffetts-rich-life-doesnt-come-from-family-wealth/article4255258/">Globe and Mail followed up</a> with a 2011 feature reporting that Susie had requested $41,000—and that her father told her to "go to the bank like everyone else."

That moment became somewhat legendary, especially for those familiar with Buffett's tough-love approach to money. In the 2017 <a href="https://www.hbo.com/movies/becoming-warren-buffett-2017">HBO documentary, ‘Becoming Warren Buffett</a>," Susie revisited the story, saying, "There's the famous story about the kitchen with me. I had some trouble with that one just because I thought I was asking for a loan. I was not asking him to give me the money. I thought, oh come on, can't you do this?"&nbsp;
She <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43166526/billionaire-warren-buffetts-first-wife-said-he-cared-about-the-win-not-the-money-its-all-mental-with-him-and-money-is-his-scorecard">joked to her mother</a> that she'd end up "on the cover of People magazine someday homeless, because my dad will be like this super rich guy and… we'll all be wandering around."
The most detailed version of the story comes from Alice Schroeder's 2008 authorized biography, "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life." According to Schroeder, Susie and her husband Allen were living in a cramped Washington, D.C., home with "a kitchen the size of a baby blanket." They planned a modest renovation to make room for a kitchen table and access to their garden.

When she asked her billionaire father for a loan, Buffett replied, "Why not go to the bank?" He went on to explain that just as a quarterback shouldn't start for Nebraska just because his dad played the position, children shouldn't be handed advantages they haven't earned. "He won't give it to us on principle," Susie said. "All my life, my father has been teaching us. Well, I feel I've learned the lesson. At a certain point, you can stop" .
From an investment perspective, the lesson is crystal clear. Buffett has never viewed capital as something to be given freely—even to those closest to him. He believed in value, in proving your case, and in capital allocation with discipline, whether you're a Fortune 500 CEO or his own daughter asking for a modest loan.

In a way, this story isn't just about a kitchen. It's about Buffett's guiding principle: money isn't about love—it's about responsibility.&nbsp;
Buffett had no problem giving billions to global health, education, and poverty initiatives. But when it came to his children, he drew a firm line between charity and family support. For him, financial self-sufficiency was a non-negotiable—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44574657/billionaire-warren-buffetts-son-says-everyone-assumes-hes-rich-8-out-of-10-messages-a-day-are-just-people-wanting-something-from-my-dad">no matter your last name</a>.
And while the anecdote <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44482365/warren-buffetts-son-wasnt-raised-like-a-billionaires-kid-he-mowed-lawns-and-cleaned-gutters-because-there-are-jerks-with-money-and-jerks-without">reads like a parenting parable</a>, it's also a page straight from the Buffett investing ethos: discipline trumps emotion, even when it's close to home.&nbsp;

Shares of Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) continued to slide after the company reported its fiscal third-quarter results on Tuesday.
Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Goldman Sachs On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/589dc33e43eaaa000122c59a/gabriela-borges">Analyst Gabriela Borges</a> maintained a Buy rating while raising the price target from $215 to $231.
Palo Alto Networks reported a mixed quarter, with RPO and revenue in line with Street expectations, while EBIT margin and earnings beat estimates by 30 basis points (bps) and 3%, respectively, Borges said in a note. Management raised their full-year revenue, earnings, and margin projections to the high end of their prior guidance, she added.
The company noted that deal activity was impacted by macro uncertainty in early April, but the deal cycle normalized later in the month and into May, the analyst stated. "While we expect to see a number of next-gen vendors in AI security, we ultimately believe that this field will consolidate over time in favor of leaders such as Palo Alto, that have the ability and willingness to invest in technology leadership, outsource R&amp;D via M&amp;A, and realize attractive unit economics from cross sell," she further wrote.
TD Cowen On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5968f79c988ca80001cea41a/shaul-eyal">Analyst Shaul Eyal</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $230.
Palo Alto Networks' NGS ARR (next-generation security annual recurring revenue) grew by 34% year-on-year to $5.09 billion, exceeding the consensus of $5.06 billion, while RPO (remaining performance obligation) rose 19.5% year-on-year to $13.5 billion, almost in line with expectations, Eyal said. The company generated revenue growth of 15% year-on-year, taking its top line to $2.29 billion, above the consensus of $2.28 billion, he added.
The analyst stated that the results reflect "ongoing healthy platformization performance" and strong adoption of AI solutions in the fiscal third quarter. Palo Alto Networks has a robust pipeline for the fourth quarter, "lending itself for a strong FY25 finish," he wrote.
Piper Sandler On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/590783e6290fa70001409b4a/rob-owens">Analyst Rob Owens</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating and price target of $200.
Owens said Palo Alto Networks recorded operating margins of 27.4%, beating consensus by around 30 bps. This took earnings to 80 cents per share, 3 cents per share higher than the top end of its guidance range.
However, bookings growth decelerated sequentially to 9%, from 15% in the previous quarter, the analyst stated. While the company said it faced uncertainty during April due to "geopolitical shifts," this has "largely subsided since," he further wrote.

KeyBanc Capital Markets On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/62eacb8a9bab060001dbd41a/eric-heath">Analyst Eric Heath</a> maintained an Overweight rating and price target of $220.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, Palo Alto Networks guided to revenues of $2.49-$2.51 billion, representing 14%-15% year-on-year growth, almost in line with consensus, Heath said. Its RPO guidance of $15.2-$15.3 billion incorporates 20% year-on-year growth, similar to the previous quarter, he added.
The analyst stated that the company raised its revenue guidance for the full year by $15 million to $9.17-$9.19 billion, up 14% and beating the consensus of $9.166 billion. NSG momentum remained robust, with "notable strength" from XSIAM (extended security intelligence and automation management).
JMP Securities On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6298be750c34880001d668d9/trevor-walsh">Analyst Trevor Walsh</a> reiterated a Market Outperform rating and a price target of $212.
Palo Alto Networks reported its quarterly results modestly better than expected, Walsh said. The company guided to non-GAAP earnings of 87-89 cents per share for the fiscal fourth quarter, above consensus of 86 cents per share, he added.
Management indicated that "rapid and widespread" AI adoption was not only driving "the need to secure AI-specific resources but also further accelerating broader IT transformations, such as the transition to the cloud," the analyst further wrote.
Guggenheim Securities On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587f78d077f9dd000126ef0f/john-difucci">Analyst John DiFucci</a> reaffirmed a Sell rating and price target of $130.
Palo Alto Networks' results were mixed, "with revenue about a half percent above the consensus number, driven by Product outperformance and partially offset by subscription underperformance," DiFucci said. The company maintained its full-year NGS ARR and RPO guidance, indicating growth between 31%-32% and 19%-20%, respectively, he added.
"Management acknowledged April weakness post Liberation Day, though this has leveled out, but not before resulting in dampened F3Q25 results, which carried over to mixed F4Q25 guidance (that may include some acquired Protect AI contribution that should close by F1Q)," the analyst wrote.
RBC Capital Markets On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5880b6f377f9dd00011b0ab2/matthew-hedberg">Analyst Matthew Hedberg</a> maintained an Outperform rating and a price target of $232.
Palo Alto Networks reported solid results, despite some tariff related macro disruption in the quarter, Hedberg said. He added, however, that the macro environment normalized into May.
The company generated an AI ARR of $400 million, up from $250 million in the first quarter, and recorded an average ARR per customer of more than $1 million for XSIAM, the analyst stated. "Overall, we like the large-deal and newer product momentum fueling NGS ARR growth." 
PANW Price Action: At the time of publication on Wednesday, shares of Palo Alto Networks had declined by 5.99% to $182.83.
