Decades after Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) walked away from Morris Chang's pitch to co-invest in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), the Taiwanese chip giant has skyrocketed past Intel in market value.
What Happened: In a 2014 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEh3ZgbvBrE&amp;ab_channel=StanfordOnline">lecture</a> at Stanford University, Chang, the founder of TSMC, shared the remarkable backstory of how he secured funding for what would become the world's largest dedicated chip foundry.
At the time, Chang was tasked with piecing together financing, with the Taiwanese government promising up to 50% of the initial investment — if Chang could secure the other half from private investors, ideally a major global tech partner.
Chang approached several industry giants, including Intel, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Sony. While Intel initially showed some interest, the conversations ultimately ended in rejection.

Chang recalled how Intel's then-executive Craig Barrett met with him twice but eventually said no, saying the company wasn't interested.
"The only company that appeared to be genuinely interested was Philips," Chang recounted. While he had hoped for a stronger technology partner, Chang settled for Philips, which invested 28%. With the Taiwanese government's 48% and additional funds from local investors, TSMC was officially launched in 1987.

Why It's Important: Fast forward to today, and the contrast between TSMC and Intel's fortunes couldn't be starker.
As of May 2025, TSMC boasts a market capitalization of $908.78 billion, ranking as the world's 11th most valuable company, while Intel lags far behind with a market cap of $91.60 billion, sitting at 206th place globally.
TSMC, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/02/43886929/taiwan-semiconductor-options-trading-a-deep-dive-into-market-sentiment">went public as an ADR</a> in the U.S. in 1997, now controls over 60% of the global chip foundry market. It counts powerhouse clients like Apple Inc., Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corporation, leveraging process technologies and benefiting from the fabless chip model that has reshaped the semiconductor landscape.
Meanwhile, Intel has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42378342/intel-stock-is-where-it-was-27-years-ago-how-the-worlds-leading-chipmaker-lost-the-plot-thrice">struggled to maintain</a> its former dominance. Over the past five years, Intel's stock has fallen more than 64% (whereas TSMC has gained BY 231.17%), losing ground not only in its traditional x86 stronghold but also in emerging areas like smartphone chips and AI, where Nvidia has surged ahead.
At Intel's first-quarter 2025 earnings call, new CEO Lip-Bu Tan admitted, "Clearly, there are no quick fixes," as the company works through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45000866/intel-stock-has-fallen-nearly-64-in-5-years-now-ceo-lip-bu-tan-says-clearly-there-are-no-quick-fixes-but-investors-should-stay-tuned">multi-year transformation</a> plan aimed at regaining competitiveness in AI, GPUs, and edge computing.
But the bigger story today is how TSMC has far outpaced Intel's market value and global influence.
With TSMC sitting atop the global semiconductor supply chain and Intel working hard to stage a turnaround, the once-dismissed foundry model now stands as a defining force in the future of chips.

Morris Chang Once Talked About How Intel Turned Down His Vision For TSMC — Fast Forward To Today And The Taiwanese Chipmaker Has Outgrown Intel In Market Value By Hundreds Of Billions

President Donald Trump has expressed a readiness to drastically cut&nbsp;U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports,&nbsp;hinting at a potential 80% tariff as the new rate.
What Happened: President Trump is considering a significant reduction in tariffs on Chinese goods. This move is interpreted as an effort to advance in the ongoing trade war, sparked by Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; announcement.
The existing tariffs have notably influenced Wall Street and have sparked worries about a possible U.S. recession. They have also negatively impacted Trump&#8217;s approval ratings.
Trump,&nbsp;in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114477628854583525">post </a>on Truth&nbsp;Social, proposed that an 80% tariff on China seemed fitting. This would substantially lower&nbsp;the import tax on Beijing's&nbsp;goods from the current 145%. &#8220;80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B,&#8221; Trump wrote. 
He also alluded&nbsp;to Treasury Department Secretary Scott&nbsp;Bessent&#8217;s role in the decision.
The U.S. and China are&nbsp;set to engage in trade talks&nbsp;in Switzerland this weekend, with&nbsp;Bessent spearheading the discussions. Trump&#8217;s suggested tariff reduction comes as Beijing has been hesitant&nbsp;to negotiate a deal with&nbsp;the U.S., despite the potential harm to its own economy.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45185792/young-americans-express-discontent-over-trumps-china-tariffs">Young Americans Express Discontent Over Trump&#8217;s China Tariffs</a>
In another <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114477610338144415">post</a> on Friday, Trump said, &#8220;CHINA SHOULD OPEN UP ITS MARKET TO USA — WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THEM!!! CLOSED MARKETS DON'T WORK ANYMORE!!!"
Trump&#8217;s economic management has seen approval ratings fall below 50% in most polls, stirring unease among Republicans with the midterm elections just over a year away.
Despite the ongoing trade disputes, the prospect of U.S.-China talks has been received positively by markets, with Germany's DAX, Paris's CAC 40,&nbsp;and the U.K.'s FTSE 100&nbsp;all recording gains.
Why It Matters: The proposed tariff reduction signifies a potential shift in the U.S.-China trade war. The current tariffs have not only impacted Wall Street but also raised concerns about a U.S. recession and affected Trump&#8217;s approval ratings. 
The move could potentially ease these concerns and improve the economic outlook. However, the success of this proposal largely depends on the upcoming trade talks in Switzerland and Beijing&#8217;s willingness to negotiate a deal.

Trump Proposes Major Cut in China Tariffs, Signaling Shift in Trade War

Function Health, the rapidly growing health-tech startup on a mission to help people live 100 healthy years, announced in a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/function-health-acquires-ezra-introduces-499-full-body-mri-scan-302446016.html">statement</a> on Monday a game-changing acquisition that's already turning heads in Silicon Valley and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44636477/ai-wont-steal-hollywoods-magic-says-mark-cuban-the-best-will-get-even-better-but-ai-cant-replace-that-feel">Hollywood</a> alike.
The Austin-based company, known for offering over 160 advanced lab tests through its membership platform, has officially acquired Ezra, a New York startup offering full-body MRI scans powered by AI, according to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/05/function-health-mri-ezra.html"> CNBC</a>.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Landmark Deal Backed by Celebrities</h2>
The deal, revealed in the company's statement, signals a major move in the consumer longevity space. According to<a href="https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/health-tech/startup-pockets-53m-personalized-health-testing-backed-celeb-investors-matt-damon-pedro"> Fierce Healthcare</a>, the startup is backed by big-name celebrities including Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43496334/sounds-like-murderville-both-mark-cuban-and-kevin-hart-passed-on-a-startup-that-grew-into-a-giant-leaving-them-regretting-it">Kevin Hart</a>, Jay Shetty, Zac Efron, Blake Griffin, Colin Kaepernick, and investor Ari Emanuel.
Function is now rolling out a 22-minute full-body MRI for just $499, with the company saying in its statement that it&#8217;s a third of the price of Ezra's previous $1,500 scan. Function co-founder and CEO Jonathan Swerdlin told CNBC, "What labs aren't covering, scans can see, and what scans couldn't touch on, labs cover."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tech-Powered Scans That Spot Trouble Before You Feel It</h2>
Ezra's scans are designed to catch disease before symptoms ever surface. From cancers to degenerative spine issues, silent strokes to liver disease, the AI-enhanced imaging adds a crucial layer to Function's preventive arsenal. According to Ezra founder Emi Gal, who lost his mother to late-stage cancer and started Ezra to change that reality, the goal has always been to find disease early enough to make a difference, CNBC reports.
Trending: Donald Trump just announced a $500 billion AI infrastructure deal — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/seize-a-share-while-you-still-can-in-the-2-trillion-entertainment-market-with-elf-labs-at-just-2-25-share">here's how you can invest in the entertainment market's next big disruptor at $2.25 per share</a>.
Function is keeping Gal on board to continue leading the MRI division. "Over the past six years my team and I have helped countless people find cancer, many of whom are now cancer-free," Gal said in the startup&#8217;s statement. "We are now scaling this to millions together with Function."
According to<a href="https://radiologybusiness.com/topics/healthcare-management/mergers-and-acquisitions/whole-body-mri-firm-ezra-acquired-celebrity-backed-longevity-startup-function-health"> Radiology Business</a>, the scans will be immediately available to Function's nearly 200,000 members at almost 100 partner sites, including Longhorn Imaging, Princeton Radiology, and Rayus. Plans are already in motion to scale that to 1,000 locations nationwide.
Function has also integrated Ezra's proprietary AI stack: Ezra Flash AI for image quality, Ezra AI for interpreting scans, and Ezra Reporter to simplify radiology language. Together, these tools compress scan time from 60 minutes to just 22, and slash the cost to a fraction of what competitors charge, Radiology Business reports.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Future of Health Is Member-Owned, Not Hospital-Defined</h2>
Function Health is built around a single idea: health should be in your hands. Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer Mark Hyman calls it the most meaningful venture of his career, a platform rooted in P4 medicine: predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory. The aim is to give people the data they need to act early, rather than waiting for symptoms to become emergencies, according to<a href="https://time.com/7176591/function-health-startup-blood-tests-preventive-medicine/"> Time</a>.
Instead of relying on reactive systems and fragmented care, members gain access to centralized, real-time insights drawn from lab tests, full-body imaging, and AI interpretation. Hyman believes this breaks the old model where people had to ask doctors and insurers for permission to understand their own bodies. As he told Time, &#8220;The only way to do that is to have your own data, and not be limited by what you get at your doctor's.&#8221;
The company is also aggressively scaling. After raising $53 million in a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz&#8216;s Bio + Health fund, with additional backing from Draft Ventures, G9 Ventures, Wisdom.vc, and 53 Stations, Fierce Healthcare reports, Function is seeking $200 million more to fuel growth, according to CNBC.

<li>Kohl's fired CEO Ashley Buchanan on May for cause</li>
<li>The dismissal came after an investigation uncovered unethical and undisclosed conflicts of interest</li>

Kohl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) dismissed its newly installed CEO on May 1, citing "undisclosed conflicts of interest," the company <a href="https://investors.kohls.com/news/news-details/2025/Kohls-Announces-CEO-Transition-Process/default.aspx">said</a>.
Ashley Buchanan had been in the position for just four months before the company discovered&nbsp; allegedly unethical behavior. According to the retailer, an outside investigation found that Buchanan "violated company policies by directing the company to engage in vendor transactions that involved undisclosed conflicts of interest." As a result, he was terminated "for cause," a rebuke that carries serious weight in these circles.

Kohl's Dismisses CEO Over 'Undisclosed Conflicts Of Interest'

On a recent episode of The Ramsey Show, a woman phoned in to talk about her boyfriend's approach to finance that raised some red flags: "I've been dating a lovely young man… and his response [to retirement savings] was that 401(k)s are a scam." Hosts Dave Ramsey and George Kamel, as usual, had a lot to say about that.
What Happened: The caller <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y324f44rQuk">shared</a> that while she saves sincerely with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-401k">401(k)</a> and Roth IRA, her 32-year-old boyfriend, who immigrated from Albania six years ago, disregards retirement accounts completely. Ramsey responded: "What he&#8217;s saying is&#8230; I'm immature and I don't want to think about the future."
Ramsey went on to acknowledge that fear or cultural experience might be impacting the boyfriend's position. "If he is truly scared of this product… then you can deal with fear," Kamel added. They advised the caller to approach the situation like teaching someone to ride a bike: begin with training wheels, then build confidence step by step.

Why It Matters: Ramsey did not mince his words, highlighting the long-term relational and financial risks of not having a 401(k). "You&#8217;re going to live with someone who&#8217;s going to do no planning for the future, which guarantees your future sucks."
He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42988489/im-watching-my-retirement-savings-erode-away-61-year-old-panics-over-his-investments-but-dave-ramsey-tells-him-shut-up-and-invest">shared stories</a> of other callers who had a similar perspective and then ended up with decades of regret. "I <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">meet 57-year-old Americans who have no vision</a>&#8230; and they end up retiring and trying to live on Social Security and griping because <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43086362/retiring-with-zero-money-and-a-nice-paid-for-house-is-not-a-plan-dave-ramsey-tells-59-year-old-with-no-retirement-savings">all the opportunity is gone</a>", he said.
For this woman, the path forward with her boyfriend would be to "honor their questions," said Kamel. "Don't always try to explain them away… get with a third party" like a financial advisor. &nbsp;Ramsey then added: "I love you—don't marry this guy. He ain't worth it," if his mindset does not shift.
Ramsey has previously advocated for a similar approach, highlighting the importance of tackling debt, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/05/45187836/dave-ramsey-blasts-budget-slackers-who-bail-on-401ks-during-market-turmoil-shortterm-temper-tantrums">putting extra cash&nbsp;into a 401(k)&nbsp;</a>and Roth IRA, and investing in broad‑based mutual funds that compound over decades.

Dave Ramsey Tells Woman Whose Boyfriend Thinks 401(k)s Are A Scam: 'Don't Marry This Guy, He Ain't Worth It,' Calling Him An 'Immature' Man Who Doesn't 'Want To Think About The Future'

President Donald Trump has declared a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. This announcement comes amidst escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations.
What Happened: Early on Saturday morning, President Trump made a casual announcement about the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. 
&#8220;After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114483405683675564">posted </a>on Truth Social.
The announcement followed a series of escalating military actions between India and Pakistan. Earlier on Saturday, India had launched missiles at Pakistani airbases, which led to retaliation from Pakistan. 
This announcement was made mere hours after the conflict seemed to be intensifying.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also confirmed the ceasefire on his social media, commending the governments of India and Pakistan for their &#8220;wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace.&#8221;

</figure>
Why It Matters: The ceasefire agreement is significant as it comes at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan were escalating at an alarming rate. 
The conflict, which had its roots of Pakistan providing a safe haven for terrorists, had led to a series of military actions that threatened to destabilize both the countries. 
The successful mediation by the United States, as announced by President Trump, has brought a temporary halt to the conflict, potentially averting a major crisis. 
The impact of this ceasefire on the long-term relations between the two countries remains to be seen.

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending May 9:
Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>): The payment processing and credit card company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week, which comes after the company reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45142357/mastercard-raises-guidance-for-fy25-after-upbeat-q1-results-and-surge-in-global-card-issuance"> first-quarter financial results.</a> Mastercard reported quarterly revenue of $7.25 billion and earnings per share of $3.73. Both figures beat Street estimates, continuing a streak of both figures beating estimates for more than 10 straight quarters. Among the highlights in the quarter was cross-border volume that was up 15% year-over-year. The company announced a partnership with Corpay in the quarter that will further help with cross-border payment solutions. JPMorgan analyst Tien-tsin Huang<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45175986/mastercards-cross-border-surge-and-pricing-actions-drive-analyst-optimism"> reiterated an Overweight rating </a>on the stock after earnings. The analyst said the company showed stability despite headwinds.
The stock was up around 2% during the week as seen on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0509">Benzinga Pro chart </a>below with the stock up 25% over the last year.

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>): The retailer saw increased interest from readers during the week, which comes with April comparable monthly sales reported and as the company prepares for third-quarter financial results. The company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45298451/jpmorgan-sees-more-upside-for-costco-as-us-sales-e-commerce-outperform">April monthly sales</a> of $21.2 billion, up 7% year-over-year. Comparable store sales were up 5.2% year-over-year in U.S. locations during the month, while overall same store sales increased 4.4% year-over-year. Analysts expect the company to post third-quarter revenue of $63.0 billion, up from $58.5 billion. The company has missed revenue estimates in six of the last 10 quarters. Increased attention to the stock could indicate more optimism for the next report with macro concerns and tariffs leading to an increase in bulk shopping during recent months.

Alamos <a href="https://www.alamosgold.com/news-and-events/default.aspx#news--widget">produced </a>125,000 ounces of gold in the quarter, which was at the low end of company guidance. The company said it continues to work towards stronger production with an aim of a run rate of one million ounces per year in the coming years.
"Nearly all of this growth is in Canada, it's all lower cost, and it's all fully funded providing one of the strongest outlooks in our sector," Alamos Gold CEO John McCluskey said after the quarterly results when talking of future growth.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>President Donald Trump proposed a 100% tariff on foreign films on Monday</li>
<li>The announcement, which was made on TruthSocial, came after a meeting with "special ambassador" to Hollywood Jon Voight</li>
<li>Reactions from industry professionals have been mixed, as studios and executives are unsure how the tariffs would be imposed</li>
</ul>
President Donald Trump on Monday announced his intention to introduce a 100% tariff on foreign films.
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!," the Truth Social post <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114452117143235155">said</a>.&nbsp;

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</a></li>

</ul>
Trump has not detailed how that tariff would be imposed. According to the <a href="https://www.wipo.int/pressroom/en/stories/ip_and_film.html">World Intellectual Property Organization</a>, movies are intellectual property, not goods. It's unclear whether they could be subject to the types of levies he's imposed on other material items. However, the U.S. Trade Representative has <a href="https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/services-investment/services">established guidelines</a> for non-tariff trade barriers on some services that could be applied in this instance.
In recent years, many foreign locales have offered large tax breaks for studios to shoot movies and TV series outside Hollywood. A survey from <a href="https://prodpro.com/blog/2025-tv-film-outlook-report/">ProdPro</a> found that the top five preferred production locations by studio executives in 2025 through 2026 were all outside the U.S. In response, California's Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/10/27/governor-newsom-proposes-historic-expansion-of-film-tv-tax-credit-program/">a massive tax credit</a> in October that would bring film production back to Hollywood.&nbsp;
However, some veteran studio executives and producers told <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/us-media-stocks-fall-trump-threatens-100-tariff-foreign-made-films-2025-05-05/">Reuters</a> they had concerns about the proposed plan.&nbsp;
Trending: How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.
Producer Todd Garner raised questions about whether the tariffs would stifle creativity or lower production quality. "How would you make &#8216;Saving Private Ryan&#8217; in the U.S.? In Shreveport? Or a globe-trotting &#8216;Mission: Impossible?,'&#8221; he said.&nbsp;
Others see the plan in a different, more positive light. Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the executive director of the SAG-AFTRA actors' union told Reuters, "We look forward to learning more about the specifics of the plan announced by the president and to advancing a dialogue to achieve our common goals."
Trump's decision to impose tariffs on foreign films came after a meeting on Monday with actor Jon Voight, one of the president's "special ambassadors" appointed to address Hollywood issues. Voight later <a href="https://x.com/Variety/status/1919566653983019227?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1919566653983019227%7Ctwgr%5Ead448539d7b1aaa469b6cd40e8347c626b1b7cac%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fvariety.com%2F2025%2Fbiz%2Fnews%2Fjon-voight-steven-paul-trump-plan-hollywood-1236387372%2F">posted a video</a> about the meeting. Sitting in front of a U.S. flag, he said that he'd met with entertainment leaders who helped him come up with a set of tax provisions aimed at helping "movie and television production and our beloved theaters that are so important to the American family experience."

Trump Calls Hollywood's Decline A 'National Security Threat,' Orders A 100% Tariff On Foreign Films

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 experienced a notable upswing this week, driven by President Donald Trump's announcement of a trade agreement with the United Kingdom. The deal includes reductions in tariffs on UK automobiles, steel, and aluminum, and grants the UK access to the U.S. beef market. This development spurred optimism for potential future trade agreements and contributed to a rally in equities, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq posting gains. Additionally, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surpassed the $100,000 mark, reflecting increased investor confidence and a shift toward riskier assets.
Despite the positive market response, concerns about the broader economic outlook persist. The Federal Reserve opted to maintain current interest rates, citing uncertainties related to the new tariff policies and their potential impact on inflation and employment. Analysts warn of the risk of stagflation — a combination of stagnant economic growth and high inflation—especially as the effects of the tariffs become more pronounced.
Looking ahead, high-level trade discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials are scheduled, aiming to address ongoing tensions and possibly adjust existing tariffs. Investors are closely monitoring these developments, as outcomes could significantly influence market dynamics and economic forecasts in the coming months.
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.

Warren Buffett Says 'Tim Cook Has Made Berkshire A Lot More Money,' Apple's $95 Million Privacy Lawsuit Settlement And More: Top Appleverse Updates

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon has emerged as a critical voice on President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies, acknowledging legitimate concerns while cautioning against excessive measures that could isolate the U.S. economy.
What Happened: &#8220;I thought it was too large, too big and too aggressive when it started,&#8221; Dimon <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG0pOnTWJEY">told</a> Fox in an interview released Thursday, describing Trump&#8217;s initial tariff approach as part of a &#8220;master plan to get people to the table.&#8221;
Despite these reservations, the Wall Street veteran defended the administration&#8217;s fundamental goal. &#8220;It&#8217;s ok to say if it&#8217;s unfair [and] we want to fix it,&#8221; Dimon stated, suggesting the White House is justified in addressing perceived trade imbalances.

Why It Matters: Dimon&#8217;s comments come amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45333895/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-trump-tariffs-are-terrifying-says-government-is-picking-winners-and-losers-amid-soaring-trade-deficit">escalating market concerns about tariff impacts</a>. Citadel founder Ken Griffin recently warned that the policies had &#8220;unleashed an era of crony capitalism,&#8221; while JPM itself raised recession odds to 60% from 40%, citing supply-chain disruptions. Major ports report Chinese shipments have &#8220;essentially ceased.&#8221;
The banking executive, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44968496/theyre-probably-going-to-live-to-120-jpmorgans-jamie-dimon-says-gen-z-should-stop-worrying-and-start-building-a-better-future">who earned $39 million in 2024</a>, has maintained that tariffs would likely prove only &#8220;modestly inflationary&#8221; with potential to deliver &#8220;good stuff&#8221; for the economy. 
Regarding the recent U.K.-U.S. trade agreement, Dimon welcomed progress while noting it represents just a preliminary step. &#8220;Any progress is good,&#8221; he said, also expressing satisfaction with improving relations with China, Japan and Taiwan.
When asked what advice he would offer Trump, Dimon recommended: &#8220;Keep doing what you&#8217;re doing now&#8221; on border security, while encouraging focus on immigration reform, pro-growth policies, deregulation and tax reform. On tariffs, he advised: &#8220;Just make progress now, country by country, tariff by tariff.&#8221;

Economics

Jamie Dimon Says Trump's Tariffs Were 'Too Aggressive,' Warns US Risks Going It Alone Without Measured Trade Strategy

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) remains a stock to hold for the long term despite recent market volatility, with the potential to reach a $1 trillion valuation, according to Will McGough, Director of Investments at Prime Capital Financial.
What Happened: McGough maintains his buy recommendation on the artificial intelligence software company even after its shares have surged 55% this year, pushing its market cap to $281 billion, now exceeding Salesforce, which generates 10 times more revenue, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/09/palantir-may-grow-to-a-trillion-dollar-market-value-investor-says.html">reported</a> CNBC.
&#8220;I think you own for the ride to a trillion-dollar market cap knowing it&#8217;s going to be extremely volatile,&#8221; McGough said. 
The bullish outlook aligns with Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45216263/pltr-stock-falls-9-19-in-premarket-trading-but-this-analyst-remains-bullish-predicts-1-trillion-valuation-in-3-years">raised his price target</a> from $120 to $140 while calling Palantir &#8220;the Messi of AI&#8221; and &#8220;a core name in the AI Revolution.&#8221; Ives similarly projected a trillion-dollar valuation within three years, citing the company&#8217;s success with its AIP product and multi-million dollar deals pipeline.

Why It Matters: Palantir&#8217;s lofty valuation metrics remain controversial, trading at 520 times trailing earnings, almost 200 times forward earnings and 90 times revenue. The disparity has created a stark divide between institutional skeptics and retail investors who have driven the stock up over 400% in the past year.
The data analytics firm reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/05/45229767/pltr-focused-etfs-down-whats-really-behind-palantirs-plunge-the-numbers-dont-tell-the-full-story">impressive first-quarter results</a>, with revenue beating expectations at $883.86 million, up 39% year-over-year. U.S. commercial revenue specifically surged 71%, while CEO Alex Karp described a &#8220;tectonic shift&#8221; in software adoption.
Price Action: Palantir closed at $117.30 on Friday, down 1.55% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped another 0.49% to $116.72. Year to date, Palantir shares have surged 56%.
Palantir Technologies shows strong growth and momentum, but ranks low on valuation metrics, according to Benzinga Stock Edge Rankings. PLTR shares exhibit a positive price trend across both short- and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Check the detailed report here</a>.

PLTR Stock Remains Long-Term Buy Despite Sky-High Valuation, Says Prime Capital's McGough—Joins Dan Ives In Predicting $1 Trillion Market Cap Amid AI Surge

Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) CEO David Risher&#8216;s leadership strategy, shaped by his decade working under tech titans Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, has propelled the ride-sharing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45309828/gary-black-says-lyft-is-worthy-of-increased-investment-following-q1-earnings-call">company to record performance in 2024</a>.
What Happened: Risher, who joined Lyft as CEO in 2023, credits a specific lesson from Gates that&#8217;s proven transformative: focus more on weaknesses than strengths.
&#8220;From Microsoft, I learned how to compete&#8230; From Amazon, I learned how to obsess over customers,&#8221; Risher wrote in his 2023 letter to employees. This approach has yielded impressive results, with Lyft posting record-high annual ride numbers last year.
In a March 2024 interview <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/lessons-learned-lyft-ceo-draws-industry-titans-jeff-bezos-bill-gates">with</a> Fox Business, Risher described a &#8220;revealing&#8221; moment watching Gates at a 1990s executive conference. When asked about Microsoft Excel&#8217;s future, Gates responded: &#8220;I don&#8217;t spend any of my time thinking about Excel because I know that right now we&#8217;ve got around 60% market share, and I know that&#8217;s going to go to 80 or 90&#8230; I don&#8217;t have to worry about that.&#8221;
This insight showed Risher that Gates created more value by focusing on areas needing improvement rather than successful products.

Why It Matters: At Lyft, Risher has applied this philosophy by personally identifying weaknesses in the company&#8217;s business model. &#8220;Every six weeks or so, I open my Lyft Driver app and hit the road,&#8221; he wrote in an April shareholder letter, noting this hands-on approach helps him understand driver experiences and customer frustrations.
Following rider complaints about surge pricing, Risher directed his team to increase driver supply and develop a feature allowing riders to lock in prices during frequent commute periods.
&#8220;By the end of 2024, we could see that these were the right investments when drivers chose us at record rates,&#8221; Risher wrote, attributing the company&#8217;s success to addressing shortcomings.
The strategy appears to be working. Lyft recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45309828/gary-black-says-lyft-is-worthy-of-increased-investment-following-q1-earnings-call">reported first-quarter of 2025 earnings</a> of 1 cent per share versus an expected 1-cent loss, with rides growing 16% year-over-year to 218.4 million. The company&#8217;s board also authorized an increased share repurchase program totaling $750 million.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never met a great leader who isn&#8217;t curious about the details,&#8221; Risher noted, emphasizing that successful leadership requires diving into troubled areas rather than avoiding them.
Price Action: Lyft stock closed at $16.65 on Friday, up 28.08% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock inched up another 0.30% to $16.70. Year to date, Lyft shares have gained 21.98%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Lyft CEO Says He Learnt 'How To Compete' From Bill Gates And 'How To Obsess Over Customers' From Jeff Bezos —Now His Focus On Weaknesses Over Strengths Drives Record Rides, Earnings Beat, And 28% Stock Surge In Single Session

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reportedly instructed workers on Model Y and Cybertruck production lines at its Austin factory to stay home during Memorial Day week, marking an unusually extended break as the automaker grapples with declining deliveries.
What Happened: Workers, who are paid hourly, were notified earlier this week that they could either use paid time off or report for cleaning and training duties, but wouldn&#8217;t work on production lines. Employees indicated production schedules have been increasingly inconsistent since February, with many sent home early multiple times, three employees <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-model-y-cybertruck-workers-stay-home-memorial-day-2025-5">told</a> Business Insider.
The production pause follows Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44607859/teslas-deliveries-slide-in-q1-amid-production-setbacks-political-backlash">first-quarter delivery decline</a> of 13% year-over-year and comes amid mounting inventory concerns. The company produced nearly 26,000 more vehicles than it delivered in the first quarter, despite already reducing production by approximately 100,000 units compared to the previous quarter.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: &#8220;If the ship of America goes down, Tesla will go with it,&#8221; CEO Elon Musk warned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45332420/if-the-ship-of-america-goes-down-tesla-will-go-with-it-elon-musk-says-hes-refocusing-on-tesla-after-71-profit-drop">during an April earnings call</a> after the company reported a 71% plunge in net income to $409 million. Tesla&#8217;s core automotive revenue tumbled 20% to $14 billion.
Cybertruck has faced particular challenges, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45216453/tesla-has-over-10000-units-of-unsold-cybertrucks-in-its-us-inventory-amid-poor-sales-report">reports suggesting over 10,000 units remain unsold</a>. The company has delivered fewer than 50,000 Cybertrucks as of March, according to a voluntary recall notice.
The company has introduced discounts on the refreshed Model Y launched in January and released a cheaper variant this week as it attempts to stimulate demand.
Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s stock closed at $298.26 on Friday, up 4.72% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose slightly to $299.29, gaining an additional 0.35%. Year to date, Tesla shares are down 21.36%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Workers Told To Stay Home As Elon Musk's EV Giant Extends Memorial Day Break Following 13% Delivery Drop And Surging Inventory: Report

Citadel founder Ken Griffin is sounding the alarm on President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies, warning they have &#8220;unleashed an era of crony capitalism&#8221; where the government picks &#8220;winners and losers&#8221; in the economy.
What Happened: &#8220;Tariffs open the doors to crony capitalism,&#8221; Griffin <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/08/griffin-trump-tariffs-milken-wall-street-00335374">told</a> Politico at the Milken Institute&#8217;s Global Conference. &#8220;I thought that would play out over the course of years. It&#8217;s terrifying to watch this play out over the course of weeks.&#8221;
The hedge fund billionaire&#8217;s criticism reflects growing concerns among Wall Street executives that the escalating trade war could derail economic growth despite the administration&#8217;s promises of prosperity. His comments come as the U.S. grapples with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">record $140 billion trade deficit in March</a>.
Griffin, a longtime GOP megadonor, expressed particular concern about the administration&#8217;s selective exemptions for certain industries. The dollar&#8217;s recent decline, he noted, will soon weaken American consumer purchasing power.
&#8220;Whether it&#8217;s a flat-screen TV or a new laptop, your dollar is just not going to go as far,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;This starts unfolding in the next couple weeks.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Bank of America&#8216;s chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett predicts tariffs may be reduced this quarter, warning that Treasury yields above 5% could jeopardize the deficit-financed growth strategy. JPMorgan Chase recently raised its recession odds to 60% from 40%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">citing supply-chain disruptions</a>.
The impact is already being felt across sectors. Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley announced tariffs could cost the automaker $1.5 billion, forcing the company to withdraw its earnings guidance. Major ports report Chinese shipments have &#8220;essentially ceased,&#8221; with retailers facing five to seven weeks of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45217767/ford-ceo-jim-farley-says-trumps-tariffs-could-cost-ford-1-5-billion-pulls-its-earnings-guidance">inventory before shortages emerge</a>.
Despite these concerns, some Trump allies remain optimistic. Former presidential adviser Gary Cohn told Milken Conference attendees, &#8220;We&#8217;ve lived through depressions. We&#8217;ve lived through recessions&#8230; Every time, when we thought it was really bad, it got a lot better.&#8221;
For Griffin, who has previously criticized Trump, the risk is clear: &#8220;We all want to see the president succeed&#8230; There&#8217;s that fine line between constructive criticism and just being toxic.&#8221;

GOP Megadonor Ken Griffin Warns Trump Tariffs Are 'Terrifying,' Says Government Is Picking 'Winners And Losers' Amid Soaring Trade Deficit

Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe identified a potentially significant market signal Friday, noting that altcoins could be poised for a dramatic recovery against Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: &#8220;The bull market is the biggest reward of 4 years suffering. Within a window of a few months, your Altcoins can erase all the losses,&#8221; van de Poppe wrote on X. &#8220;The Altcoin market capitalization against Bitcoin is still massively bullish. The longest bullish divergence in history.&#8221;
The analyst&#8217;s comments come as Bitcoin trades near $103,023, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.04 trillion. 
Meanwhile, the CMC Altcoin Season Index currently sits at 39/100, firmly in &#8220;Bitcoin Season&#8221; territory, which indicates Bitcoin has outperformed most alternative cryptocurrencies over the past 90 days, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Why It Matters: Van de Poppe emphasized that timing and positioning will be crucial for investors. &#8220;All I&#8217;ve learned from previous cycles is that if the markets start a rotation, it&#8217;s going to be a fast move on those Altcoins and you&#8217;ll be questioning yourself whether it&#8217;s a real or a fake move. That&#8217;s why I fancy being positioned early.&#8221;

The CMC Altcoin Season Index, which tracks the performance of the top 100 altcoins relative to Bitcoin, currently shows divergent performance across the altcoin market. 
While some tokens like Four (FORM) have posted gains exceeding 480% over 90 days, many large-cap altcoins, including Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), have underperformed Bitcoin during this period.

Ethereum, Dogecoin And Other Altcoins May Erase '4 Years Suffering' In Just Months, Says Michael Van De Poppe Amid Historic Bullish Divergence

Texas lawmakers have passed legislation that would significantly reduce small shareholders&#8217; influence over corporations, potentially offering companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) a shield from legal challenges that have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44488029/tesla-teases-robotaxi-launch-in-texas-but-industry-veterans-question-safety-and-readiness-if-a-company-were-serious">plagued them in Delaware</a>.
What Happened: Two bills awaiting Governor Greg Abbott&#8216;s signature &#8211; Senate Bill 29 and Senate Bill 1057 &#8211; would make it harder for shareholders to sue companies and raise requirements for bringing resolutions at annual meetings, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/texas-bills-big-business-wins-activist-investors-shareholders-2025-5">reported</a> Business Insider on Friday. Abbott has previously signaled support for SB 29.
&#8220;How can you have confidence in Delaware judges?&#8221; said Eric Lentell, Archer Aviation&#8216;s top lawyer, who testified in favor of SB 29, referencing a Delaware court&#8217;s decision to strike down CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s pay package at Tesla. &#8220;A shareholder vote was essentially ignored.&#8221;
Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Texas), who backed SB 1057, described the legislation as &#8220;Dexit,&#8221; highlighting the growing exodus of companies from Delaware.

Why It Matters: Tesla reincorporated in Texas following its Delaware court battle, while the New York Stock Exchange recently announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43768417/market-analysts-say-nyses-texas-expansion-a-direct-challenge-to-wall-streets-dominance">plans to establish NYSE Texas in Dallas</a>.
Chris Babcock, who helped draft SB 29, defended the legislation as balanced, saying it was shaped by &#8220;a wide array of businesses and experts,&#8221; according to the BI report. The bills have received support from AT&amp;T, Nasdaq, and the Texas Stock Exchange.
SB 29 would apply to major Texas-incorporated companies like Tesla and Southwest Airlines, while SB 1057 could affect businesses merely headquartered in the state, according to the BI report. Hughes said the legislation was partly inspired by hedge fund Engine No. 1&#8216;s successful campaign to reshape ExxonMobil&#8216;s board in 2021.
