Ultime notizie per CK Hutchison Holdings (OTC:CKHUF) Azioni

CK Hutchison Holdings, or CKH, is a Hong Kong headquartered conglomerate with key businesses in ports, retail, infrastructure, and telecommunications. The company was created in 2015 to house the merged assets of Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa as the group sought to flatten out and simplify its original holding structure. CKH contains most of the businesses previously housed in Hutchison Whampoa, minus the property assets, which were spun off into their own listing, CK Asset Holdings. Telecommunications and infrastructure activities now make up the largest share of EBITDA, at around 53%. The planned sale of most of the ports business is currently being scrutinized by the government.

CTRL Group Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 114.9%

Arthur Hayes, former BitMEX CEO and prominent crypto influencer, recently made waves by urging that Bitcoin could possibly surge to $250,000 by the end of 2025, more than double its current figure in less than six months. This has been dismissed by some as overly optimistic, yet a growing body of macroeconomic and on-chain data shows his call is not as fanciful as it seems.
The source article is here: <a href="https://decrypt.co/323135/money-printing-lift-bitcoin-250k-this-year-arthur-hayes" title="https://decrypt.co/323135/money-printing-lift-bitcoin-250k-this-year-arthur-hayes">https://decrypt.co/323135/money-printing-lift-bitcoin-250k-this-year-arthur-hayes</a>
Independent of this article, there are other macro signals which support this view.
Macro Tailwinds: M2 Money Supply Is Growing Again
One of the most compelling arguments for Hayes&#8217; estimation is in global monetary policy and M2 liquidity supply. Central banks, and the Federal Reserve in particular, have resumed printing money, or M2 liquidity expansion.
Previously, outsized expansions in M2 have coincided with parabolic uptrends in Bitcoin and other hard assets. This parallel relationship between M2 and Bitcoin goes back for many years. As fiat currencies are poised for further debasement, investor demand for decentralized stores of value such as Bitcoin will only increase.
Pi Cycle Top and MVRV Z-Score also flashing Bullish signals
Beyond macro trends, several on-chain metrics support the possibility of a rally:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Pi Cycle Top Indicator: Historically effective in identifying Bitcoin market cycle tops and bottoms, the Pi Cycle now suggests ample upside space without overheating.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>MVRV Z-Score: This metric shows the difference between market value and realized value remains below historical highs. In the past, there have been significant rallies when the Z-score enters similar zones. Past events and prices are never a guarantee of the future, however BTC has followed a similar pattern for each 4 year cycle.</li>
</ul>
These indicators are characteristic of a market that has not yet become overextended, providing further confidence in a possible significant upside breakout.
Psychological Barriers and Institutional Accumulation
Bitcoin recently busted through several psychological resistance levels, fueled by ETF inflows and growing institutional acceptance. Big players continue to accumulate, a trend that has in the past preceded large price run-ups. Combined with limited supply and halvings reducing new issuance, demand pressures could add fuel to any uptrend.
For the remainder of 2025
While $250,000 Bitcoin may seem an ambitious market top to some, the intersection of monetary debasement, robust on-chain fundamentals, and institutional demand make for a strong bullish case. Investors would do well to take advantage here.

Bitcoin to $250K This Year? Why Arthur Hayes' Forecast Aligns With Key On-Chain Metrics

RBC Capital Markets analyst Nik Modi slashed the price forecast for The Campbell&#8217;s Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) from $44 to $38 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CPB/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Sector Perform rating</a>.
What Happened: The canned soup company reported third-quarter sales of $2.475 billion. It beat the consensus estimate of $2.43 billion, while the adjusted EPS of 73 cents <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus estimate of 66 </a>cents.
Campbell&#8217;s now expects adjusted EPS to be at the low end of the guided range of $2.95 – $3.05. Compare that to the consensus estimate of $2.98 owing to the slower-than-anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recovery in the Snacks business.</a>
Assuming current tariffs hold steady, the company estimates that the net incremental headwind on adjusted EPS could be up to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 3 cents to 5 cents per share</a>.
Modi says that despite beating quarterly EBIT and EPS estimates, management now projects lighter full-year profitability. The company&#8217;s snacks segment did not recover and estimates could drop further if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs remain in place</a>.
As for what&#8217;s more expensive:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Canadian soup</li>
<li>Tinplate and aluminum, and </li>
<li>Rao&#8217;s finished goods and raw materials from Italy.</li>
</ul>
Taking about key positives, the analyst notes that management cited that softening consumer sentiment is driving a preference for home-cooked meals and ingredients that stretch tight food budgets.
These factors significantly boosted Meals &amp; Beverages (M&amp;B), especially for condensed cooking soups, broth, and Italian sauces, adds the analyst.
Nevertheless, Modi writes that while shifting consumer sentiment aided the M&amp;B segment, it pressured CPB&#8217;s discretionary Snacks categories, leading to a 3% consumption decline in the division.
The analyst maintained the FY25 organic growth estimate to be just below the midpoint of guidance at -1.2% while reducing the EBIT growth estimate to +1.4% (from +3.2%) and EPS growth to -5.6% (from -3.6%).
The estimates revision reflects the analyst&#8217;s assumptions that tariffs will remain in effect throughout the quarter.
The analyst says that their FY26 numbers are also recalibrated lower, anticipating continued profitability pressure into next year.
Also, Bank of America Securities analyst Peter Galbo maintained an Underperform rating and cut the price forecast from $37 to $33.
The analyst adjusted FY25 estimates downward to reflect softer trends in the Snacks division (expected to have an extended recovery into FY26), a roughly 3-point headwind for M&amp;B in the fourth quarter due to shipment timing, and a four-cents-per-share impact from tariffs in the fourth quarter.
The analyst adds that Campbell&#8217;s has strong snacking brands, but the category struggles with finding optimal value price points.
Galbo says that this challenge exists because snacking, being a more discretionary purchase, needs to feel &#8220;worth it&#8221; to consumers.
Acknowledging the volatile tariff environment, the analyst slashed the FY25 adjusted EPS estimate to $2.91 (from $2.98). This reflects a weaker-than-anticipated exit rate into FY26.
Also, the analyst reduced the FY26 adjusted EPS estimate to $2.65 (from $3.00). That&#8217;s assuming a similar per-share impact from tariffs through the first three-quarters of FY26.
Apart from this, these analysts also made <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45746840/campbells-analysts-slash-their-forecasts-after-q3-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">changes to their price forecast:</a>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Barclays analyst Andrew Lazar maintained an Underweight rating and lowered the price forecast from $40 to $35.</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley analyst Megan Alexander maintained an Equal-Weight rating and trimmed the price forecast from $40 to $35.</li>
<li>Citigroup analyst Thomas Palmer maintained a Sell rating and lowered the price forecast from $33 to $32.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: CPB shares are down 0.76% at $33.99 at the last check Tuesday.

Soup Stock Sours: Analyst Wary Of Campbell's Snack Woes As Tariffs Weigh On Profitability

Qwant has asked France's antitrust regulator to take action against Microsoft <a href="https://workspace.refinitiv.com/web/apps/quotewebapi?RIC=MSFT.O">MSFT.O</a> for allegedly driving down the quality of the French search engine's results via Microsoft's Bing platform, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
Qwant, which has historically relied on Microsoft's Bing platform, wants the regulator to take interim action against the U.S. tech giant while investigating its complaint, the sources said.
The French regulator has sought feedback from other search engines and will likely decide by September whether to take interim action and also whether to open a formal investigation into Microsoft, one of the people said.
Competition enforcers only take interim action if there is evidence that a company abuses its market power and has caused serious and immediate harm to the complainant.
The French competition enforcer and Qwant declined to comment.
"This complaint lacks merit. We are fully cooperating with the Autorite's investigation," a Microsoft spokesperson said, referring to the French watchdog.
Smaller European search engines typically rely on their bigger rivals' back-end technology to deliver search and news results.
Microsoft is a major player in the search-engine syndication sector but its smaller rivals fear the company will discontinue the service to their detriment.
Companies risk fines of as much as 10% of their global annual turnover for breaching French antitrust rules.

If you're cruising toward retirement and fantasizing about beach chairs and bottomless mimosas, you might want to put a pin in that.&nbsp;
According to the <a href="https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WEO/2025/April/English/ch2onlineannex.ashx">International Monetary Fund</a>, 70 is the new 50 — and they're not talking about Botox. A sweeping new study says boomers are sharper, stronger, and more employable than ever…which is exactly why some experts think they should stay on the job.

The IMF's report, which drew from cognitive and physical performance data on 1 million people aged 50 and older across 41 countries, suggests older adults today are operating on a whole new level. A 70-year-old in 2022, it says, is performing about the same—mentally and physically—as a 53-year-old in 2000. That means better memory, math skills, and even grip strength. Translation: boomers aren't aging out—they're leveling up.
And that's got some major institutions eyeing this so-called "silver economy" like it's a gold mine.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Years, More Work?</h2>
The IMF isn't just cheering on senior brainpower. It's also warning that aging populations could tank public finances unless countries tap into this growing, capable workforce. With <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61164">birth rates falling</a> and the working-age population shrinking, the idea is that older adults might need to step up—or at least, not step away too soon.

Denmark's already made its move. Starting in 2040, the country will raise the public pension age to 70—<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg71v533q6o">the highest in Europe</a>. Since 2006, Denmark has been tying retirement age to life expectancy.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Debates a Similar Move</h2>
The U.S. doesn't have a mandatory retirement age, but it does have a full retirement age for Social Security—66 to 67, depending on your birth year. Waiting until 70 unlocks the max payout – 8% more for each year you delay. However, a <a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w30675">2023 paper National Bureau of Economic Research</a> found that only about 10% of Americans wait that long, even though over 90% would benefit from doing so.
Still, proposals to push the official full retirement age to 70 have been floating around. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced one in late 2023 as part of negotiations over the Social Security Fairness Act. His idea? Raise the retirement age three months per year until it hits 70, saving nearly $400 billion. That proposal was ultimately scrapped, but the debate is far from over.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not One-Size-Fits-All</h2>
Here's where it gets messy: while working longer might be viable for some, it's not a fair deal for everyone. "When you have such a big, big difference [in life expectancy], any across-the-board increase in the retirement age would be foolish," said Alicia Munnell of Boston College's Center for Retirement Research <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/31/denmark-raises-retirement-age-to-70-us-might-follow.html">told CNBC</a>. For lower-income Americans, who already have shorter life spans and fewer savings, later retirement could mean fewer years enjoying the benefits they've paid into.

Andrew Biggs, a senior fellow at the <a href="https://www.aei.org/profile/andrew-g-biggs/">American Enterprise Institute</a>, adds another wrinkle: even if the government raised the age tomorrow, it would take decades for the savings to kick in. Meanwhile, Social Security's funding crisis is coming fast—and needs money now.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Real Question: Is This About Opportunity or Obligation?</h2>
Yes, boomers are healthier and sharper than ever. That's worth celebrating. But pushing them to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">stay in the workforce longer</a>—especially in physically demanding jobs or in sectors where ageism is still a problem—can't just be about fixing budget shortfalls.
The silver economy may be rising, but whether that's empowerment or pressure depends on who's holding the stopwatch—and who gets to choose when the clock runs out.

'70 Is The New 50' — Baby Boomers Are Being Told to Keep Working Because They're Mentally Sharp, But Is That A Compliment or Just a Budget Fix?

Dear Members of the Board and Management,
As long-term shareholders of EZCORP (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZPW#NASDAQ">EZPW</a>), and owners of over 1.5% of the company's outstanding shares, we write to urge the Board to immediately authorize and begin executing on a $100 million share repurchase program.
The company raised $300 million in part to settle the convertible notes in cash. Instead, management opted to settle entirely in equity in Q4 2024, assuming the convertible note would remain out of the money. As the stock moved higher, this miscalculation resulted in unexpected and avoidable dilution—despite the company having both the intent and resources to avoid it. This misstep should now be addressed through a meaningful and accretive share repurchase.
A buyback program is the clearest way to re-establish credibility—not only with shareholders, but also with employees (many of whom are stakeholders), analysts, and the broader investment community, all of whom are increasingly questioning the company's capital allocation discipline.
We previously urged the company in December 2022 to begin executing on a $200 million buyback over five years when the stock was trading at just $8.00 per share1. At that valuation, aggressive repurchases would have been extremely accretive. Instead, EZCORP has repurchased only $33 million in stock over 2.5 years—missing a clear, high-return opportunity. We now face a similar setup—but with stronger earnings momentum, a fortified balance sheet, and even more excess cash—much of which was explicitly earmarked for shareholder value preservation. EZCORP cannot afford to make the same mistake twice.
Today, EZPW trades at approximately 4.5x LTM Adj. EBITDA, adjusting for its valuable minority stakes in Simple Management and Cash Converters International2. By contrast, FirstCash (FCFS) trades at over 12x EBITDA—despite EZCORP's more focused strategy and operational momentum. The disparity is glaring and reflects a serious credibility gap with the market—one that can only be resolved through meaningful, shareholder-aligned action.

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) is scheduled to report its fiscal second-quarter results on Thursday, June 5.
The company is likely to report its quarterly results in line with slightly higher than consensus estimates, according to JPMorgan.
The Broadcom Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59f1c1bdefacff0001706787/harlan-sur">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59f1c1bdefacff0001706787/harlan-sur">Harlan Sur</a> maintained an Overweight rating and price target of $250.
The Broadcom Thesis: The company's healthy results are likely to be driven by continued strong demand for its AI products, stabilization in the non-AI semi business and the unlocking of revenue synergy from the VMware (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMW#NYSE">VMW</a>) acquisition, Sur said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Backed by a higher revenue base set in the fiscal second quarter, Broadcom is likely to guide to third-quarter revenue closer to $16.1 billion, above the current Street estimates and representing 5%-7% sequential growth, he added.
Broadcom's revenue growth is likely to be led by AI demand strength, with AI revenues exceeding $5 billion, higher than consensus of $4.8 billion, the analyst stated.
"Broadcom remains our overall top pick in our semiconductor coverage given their exposure to AI infrastructure spending trends combined with their diversified end market exposure and best-in-class gross, operation and free cash flow margins," he further wrote.
AVGO Price Action: Shares of Broadcom had risen by 2.25% to $254.30 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

Science Applications Intl posted adjusted earnings of $1.92 per share, missing market estimates of $2.22 per share. The company posted quarterly sales of $1.88 billion versus expectations of $1.87 billion.
&#8220;Our performance in the first quarter reflects the steady progress we are making against our enterprise growth strategy despite a still dynamic operating environment,&#8221; said Toni Townes-Whitley, SAIC Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;As a premier mission integrator, the rapid evolution of new technologies, a renewed focus on deploying software to drive efficiency, and an elevated global threat environment create significant opportunities for SAIC.

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Global Growth Forecast Cut</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-fall-in-dollar-usdx-mc-06032025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of U.S. dollar index (USDX, DX, DXY).
Note the following:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The chart shows the fall in the dollar in 2025.</li>
<li>The chart shows the dollar index has fallen to the bottom band of zone 1 (support).</li>
<li>Prudent investors should be alert to the dollar breaking below the low band of the support zone.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>A strong currency is the hallmark of a strong country.&nbsp; It is especially important for the U.S. because the U.S. owes its prosperity, in large part, to the dollar being the world's reserve currency.&nbsp; If the dollar falls further, it will be very negative for the U.S. in the long term.&nbsp; The short term is a different story. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The momo crowd will celebrate the fall in the dollar by buying stocks.</li>
<li>The S&amp;P 500 has a large number of multinational companies.&nbsp; When earnings from overseas are translated into dollars, earnings will have the appearance of going up.&nbsp; Less knowledgeable investors will buy into higher earnings and aggressively buy stocks.</li>
<li>In the short term, the stock market will likely go up.</li>
<li>In the longer term, a fall in the dollar will be devastating.  As always, as members of our report, you will be able to act in advance to protect and grow your wealth.  It is important to build your knowledge ahead of time, so that if such a time comes, you will be ready to act with conviction.  </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Of note for prudent investors is that the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has lowered the growth forecast for the world and for the U.S.&nbsp; OECD is a highly respected Paris based organization of 38 countries with the mission to promote growth and stability. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>OECD is citing tariffs as the trigger to reduce its forecast.</li>
<li>U.S. growth is projected to drop to 1.6% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026.&nbsp; As a reference, the prior forecast was 2.2% and the U.S. grew by 2.8% in 2024.</li>
<li>The global growth forecast is being reduced to 2.9% in 2025 and 2026.&nbsp; As a reference, global growth was 3.3% in 2024.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>For the time being, the stock market is oblivious as the following three factors dominate: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Blind money flowing into the stock market&nbsp;</li>
<li>Aggressively buying by the momo crowd</li>
<li>Wall Street doubling up on TACO trade (Trump Always Chickens Out)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The stock market has correctly figured out that, at this time, President Trump is sensitive to the stock market.&nbsp; The White House is going out of its way to create hope.&nbsp; The latest hope driving buying in the stock market is President Trump pushing to have a phone call with President Xi of China.</li>
<li>Also driving buying in the stock market is President Trump giving several countries a deadline to submit their best trade proposals.</li>
<li>Adding to the buying in the stock market is President Trump's "big beautiful bill" heading to the Senate.&nbsp; The momo crowd is excited about tax cuts, higher government spending resulting in higher deficits, and higher government borrowing.&nbsp; The momo crowd believes that all of these will take the stock market to a new high.&nbsp; The hopium is S&amp;P 500 going to 7000 quickly.</li>
<li>The problem for all of the bullishness in the stock market is that the bond market and the dollar may get in the way.&nbsp; Unlike the stock market, the bond market and the currency market are very concerned about the higher deficit and higher borrowing that will result from President Trump's "big beautiful bill."</li>
<li>In important news, especially for AI, at its annual meeting Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSM) CEO C.C. Wei is very bullish and believes tariffs will not impact TSM as the company will be able to pass them on.  TSM is important because it is the main manufacturer of chips for companies such as NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD), Apple Inc (AAPL), and Qualcomm Inc (QCOM).</li>
<li>In a boost for nuclear power, Meta Platforms Inc (META) is striking a deal to buy about 1.1 gigawatts of electricity from Clinton nuclear plant in Illinois.  Clinton is owned by Constellation Energy Corp (CEG).  Nuclear stocks such as Vistra Corp (VST), Oklo Inc (OKLO), Nano Nuclear Energy Inc (NNE), Nuscale Power Corp (SMR), Lightbridge Corp (LTBR), and Centrus Energy Corp (LEU) are seeing aggressive buying in the early trade.  The buying may fizzle out as the day progresses.</li>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  Our proprietary Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

These Analysts Boost Their Forecasts On Credo Technology Group Following Upbeat Q4 Results

Bitcoin&nbsp;(CRYPTO:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining stocks&nbsp;MARA Holdings&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>),&nbsp;Riot Platforms&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>)&nbsp;and CleanSpark&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLSK#NASDAQ">CLSK</a>) are moving higher on Tuesday. Each of the companies released&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g45743700/mara-announces-bitcoin-production-and-mining-operation-updates-for-may-2025">production updates for May</a>.
MARA Production Update: MARA Holdings mined 950 bitcoin in May, up 35% on a month-over-month basis. The company said it won 282 blocks last month, up 38% compared to the prior month. MARA Holdings held a total of 49,179 bitcoin as of May 31 after opting not to sell any holdings during the period. 
MARA Holdings reported a total energized hashrate of 58.3 EH/s&nbsp;at month&#8217;s end, up from 57.3 EH/s at the end of April. 
&#8220;Our fully integrated tech stack is a key differentiator, and MARA Pool is the only self-owned and operated mining pool among public miners, offering greater control and efficiency. Operating our pool means no fees to external operators and retention of the full value of block rewards. Production in May also benefitted from block reward luck,&#8221; said&nbsp;Fred Thiel, chairman and CEO of MARA Holdings.
MARA Holdings shares were up 5.47% at $15.15 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
RIOT Production Update: Riot mined 514 bitcoin in May, up 11% month-over-month and 139% on a year-over-year basis. The company said it held 19,225 bitcoin at the end of the month.
Riot increased its deployed hashrate to 35.4 EH/s during the month, up from 33.7 EH/s in April and up 142% year-over-year. 
&#8220;In May, Riot made significant progress across our&nbsp;bitcoin&nbsp;mining and data center platforms. Riot mined 514&nbsp;bitcoin&nbsp;in May, an&nbsp;11%&nbsp;increase over the previous month, and we will continue to prioritize operational excellence as we head into the summer months in&nbsp;Texas&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kentucky,&#8221; said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. 
Riot shares were up 4.42% at $8.85 at last check on Tuesday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
CLSK Production Update: CleanSpark mined 694 bitcoin in May, up about 10% on a month-over-month basis. CleanSpark said it held a total of 12,502 bitcoin at the end of the month after selling 293.5 bitcoin during the period. 
CleanSpark closed out May with an operating hashrate of 45.6 EH/s, up 7.5% from 42.4 EH/s at the end of April. 
&#8220;As we enter June, we&#8217;re positioned to become the first public&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;miner to achieve 50 EH/s entirely through self-operated infrastructure. This milestone reflects the strength of our vertically integrated model, allowing us to scale efficiently, retain operational control, and protect margins,&#8221; said Zach Bradford, president and CEO of CleanSpark.
CleanSpark shares were up 4.70% at $9.01 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
