Here's How Much $100 Invested In Halozyme Therapeutics 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

An 80-year-old woman packed and ready to move says she's trapped in her apartment because a nonprofit is still holding onto her Social Security benefits — even after the program that once supported her abruptly shut down and gave her just 10 days to leave.
According to a report by <a href="https://youtu.be/-VPe0qo4Zco?si=QXw0fXzvELgktQTJ">WHEC-TV</a> in Rochester, New York, Georgia Johnson is one of many elderly and disabled residents evicted from Hudson Ridge and Danforth Towers in Rochester following the sudden closure of the Enriched Housing Program last month. The program, run by Family Service of Rochester, was supposed to help residents live independently by using their government benefits to pay rent and provide support services.

</ul>
Instead, residents say they were blindsided.
"This country is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave," Johnson said. "But in other countries, they take care of their elders."
Johnson has end-stage congestive heart failure and kidney failure. Though she's mentally sharp, she's physically frail. Her belongings are packed in bins and boxes — but she can't move. She says Family Service of Rochester still controls her money and hasn't returned it.
"How can they be so heartless to take people's money when they have to live?" Johnson asked.
She said the organization promised to refund her May <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45665342/social-security-is-the-main-source-of-income-for-retirees-in-these-10-states-is-your-state-on-the-list">Social Security check</a> and told her it would be returned by May 20, but the money never came. Her daughter, Jannine Johnson, helped her file paperwork with the Social Security office to remove Family Service as her representative payee.
"That money was supposed to be put in mommy's account on [June 3]," said Jannine.
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
But it didn't happen, Jannine said. The Social Security Administration mistakenly sent the June check back to Family Service. Johnson was then instructed to get the nonprofit to issue her a check.
She's tried. She's still waiting.
Family Service of Rochester told WHEC in a <a href="https://www.whec.com/top-news/consumer-alert-nonprofit-still-has-seniors-social-security-benefits-after-ending-program/">statement</a> that it is following instructions from the local Social Security office and will continue to act as payee until officially replaced,
Johnson's situation is made worse by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45602625/78-year-old-florida-woman-on-social-security-has-been-living-in-her-car-for-months-because-she-cant-afford-rent-i-eat-one-meal-a-day-for-2-02">type of housing now being offered</a>.
"Want to hear the shocker?" she said. "They told me — you see all this stuff here? — they told me I was going to be in one room with a partner."
"That wasn't even a downsize. That was a no-size," she added.
Her daughter has found an assisted living facility that could work — if they can access the funds. Until then, Johnson remains stuck in limbo.
The state Department of Health told WHEC that the quality of care provided by the nonprofit was so poor it endangered residents' health and safety. Meanwhile, the Rochester Housing Authority claims Family Service is $400,000 behind in rent payments.
The legal scrutiny is now intensifying.

The Monroe County District Attorney and the New York State Attorney General's Office both confirm they are investigating the situation. The U.S. Attorney's Office has not confirmed whether it has opened a case, according to the report.&nbsp;
WHEC reported that Family Service said it is working with Social Security officials to get Johnson's money returned.
Her story has sparked outrage online, where commenters have called the situation "shameful," "cruel," and "the kind of thing that shouldn't happen in America." Some expressed disbelief that a nonprofit could still act as a payee after shutting down services. Others shared their own experiences trying to help elderly parents reclaim benefits from similar arrangements.
A few offered non-legal suggestions: visiting the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/agency/contact/phone.html">local SSA office in person</a>, escalating to the fraud department, and involving elected officials who can expedite SSA actions. One user wrote, "My mom got her money back only after we filed a congressional inquiry." Another added, "Keep calling. The squeaky wheel gets the oil."
While Johnson and her daughter continue pushing through the system, the money intended to support her still sits out of reach — held by a service that no longer exists.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Retailer Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45536218/walmart-responds-to-trumps-eat-the-tariff-remark-worked-to-keep-our-prices-as-low-as-possible-and-we-wont-stop">has been battling</a> with the Donald Trump administration over tariffs and may have a new fight on its hands with Trump fans thanks to an heiress of the company's founding family.
What Happened: Walmart and the Trump administration have been going back and forth on tariffs and whether the retailer can publicly say it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/06/45829026/walmart-shoppers-see-sharp-price-hikes-as-tariffs-hit-shelves">is passing costs </a>onto consumers.
An additional issue, which could possibly mean the retailer finds itself with fewer customers, is if it battles too hard with Trump fans due to Christy Walton.
Walton is the widow of John T. Walton, son of Walmart founder Sam Walton. The Walmart heiress funded a full-page ad for the "No Kings" movement placed in the New York Times, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/11/business/walmart-heiress-christy-waltons-anti-trump-ad-fuels-maga-led-call-for-boycott-of-retailer/">reported</a>.
The ad calls for a nationwide protest against Trump and asks Americans and other citizens to "mobilize" on Saturday, which is Trump's birthday and the day of a large military parade in the nation's capital.
Walton's funded ad also calls on Americans to "reject authoritarianism."
According to the report, the "No Kings" movement is planning around 1,500 nationwide protests on Saturday. The report notes that the movement is not holding a protest in Washington, D.C. on Saturday on purpose.
"The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale," the ad reads, alongside a QR code that shows the map of protest locations.
A Christy Walton spokesperson said the ad does not encourage violent protests, but rather to "engage peacefully and civically."
"Christy has provided no funding to organizations or individuals involved in the demonstrations in Los Angeles or other cities, nor has she provided any funding to those organizing the upcoming events," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said Walton believes Americans have the right to protest, but not the right to violence.

Why It's Important: Walton is not involved in Walmart's operations, but her actions could end up hurting the future growth and revenue of the company her former husband's family founded. She maintains a 1.9% stake in the company.
Walton is worth $18.6 billion according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>, ranking 117th among the world's billionaires. This trails other Walton figures like her son Lukas Walton, who is the 39th richest person worth $41.1 billion, and her husband's siblings Jim, Rob and Alice Walton, who rank 13th, 14th and 15th worth $119 billion, $117 billion and $116 billion, respectively.
The White House responded to the ad and brushed aside Walton's criticism.
"Great, a left-wing billionaire feels like burning some of her inheritance for a PR stunt," White House spokesman Kush Desai told The Post.
Desai said the ad would not change the fact that more than 77 million Americans voted for Trump and his "America First trade policies."
Some Trump allies indirectly and directly called for a boycott of Walmart.
White House special adviser Kari Lake shared the ad on X and asked her followers, "Do you shop at Walmart?"
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) posted on X that Walton is funding ads for "No Kings Day," while naming her as a Walmart heiress.
"Looks like the Walmart dynasty is big mad about China tariffs," Luna said.
Trump supporter Roger Stone encouraged people to boycott Walmart.
"The Walmart heiress subsidizes insurrection. Next up, peaceful protests outside all of their stores to encourage people not to shop there. Essentially what left-wing stooges did to Tesla," Stone said.
Walmart has tried to distance itself from Walton.
"The advertisement from Christy Walton [is] in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart," Walmart spokesperson Joe Pennington said.
Pennington said Walton "has no active role in company decisions."
This could end up being an unfortunate situation for Walmart and shareholders as a major boycott effort by Trump fans could impact sales. Walmart locations are often times found in rural locations and small cities that have leaned towards voting for Trump in recent elections.
WMT Price Action: Walmart stock closed down 1.01% to $94.83 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $65.95 to $105.30. Walmart stock is up 5.4% year-to-date in 2025.

Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>A Look at ServiceNow P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
ServiceNow has a better P/E ratio of 136.27 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 92.8 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that ServiceNow 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/2025/1749765619_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.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In BJ's Wholesale Club Hldgs 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

While the wider business community awaited news regarding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/macro-notification/25/06/45876366/howard-lutnick-says-us-and-china-reached-a-framework-to-implement-geneva-consensus-following-trump-xi-call-csi-300-index-gains">trade negotiations</a> between the U.S. and China, one of the more anxious names may have been Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>). As a semiconductor equipment specialist, Applied Materials represents a vital cog for multiple tech sectors, including computers, smartphones and solar products. However, tensions between the world's top two economies threatened the company's access to critical rare earth minerals.
To be sure, the immediate response to the new trade deal framework — announced on Tuesday following two days of high-level discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials — was muted. While analysts in principle are encouraged by the agreement, which involves both sides rolling back contentious actions, it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45900295/this-is-another-band-aid-say-experts-questioning-long-term-viability-and-efficacy-of-us-china-trade-deal-china-always-had-this-trump-card">still pending approval</a> from President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
Derek Scissors, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, remarked that the deal is merely another "band aid." He further warned that China could easily reinstate the blockade on rare earths. Marc Busch, a professor of international business diplomacy at Georgetown University, added to the concerns, noting that China's rhetoric hasn't shifted, raising doubts regarding the sustainability of negotiations.
Despite the headwinds, the broader point is that the Trump administration, for all its tough talk, likely understands the consequences of unmitigated aggression. The president has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45715677/tom-lee-bets-on-a-new-bull-market-as-trumps-tariff-retreat-fuels-taco-trade-amid-run-it-hot-optimism">issued stern warnings and later walked back</a> the magnitude of his policies. China being the world's second-largest economy, the White House can't afford to act imprudently.
On the other end, the Chinese economy isn't all rainbows and gummy bears either. When tensions first erupted, China was already dealing with serious issues, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45033463/as-china-downplays-trump-tariffs-with-5-growth-target-top-economist-warns-of-90-chance-of-a-us-recession-amid-trade-war">deflation and a prolonged property crisis</a>. Both sides have reason to play ball and that ultimately may be good news for Applied Materials.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Statistical Backdrop Smiles Favorably On AMAT Stock</h2>
While narratives provide the context and color surrounding a particular asset or enterprise, they're not great at forecasting market behaviors. Storylines focus on the "why" of an investment. But when it comes to trading, participants of this discipline tend to focus on the "how" — how much, how fast and most importantly, how likely.
With options trading in particular, it's not enough to have confidence that AMAT stock will move in a certain direction. Depending on the specific strategy, the magnitude of movement is critical. At the same time, all options expire. Therefore, the speculated move must occur within the defined window. This makes probability the centerpiece of options market analysis.
Tackling the topic of probabilities isn't easy using traditional methodologies of fundamental and technical analysis. That's because both approaches suffer from the non-stationarity dilemma: the metric of comparison (such as share price or earnings) fluctuates temporally and contextually. Also, pattern-based technical analysis — while offering a visual representation of price behaviors — is not falsifiable.
To remedy this problem, traders can impose stationarity by converting pricing data into market breadth sequences; that is, sequences of accumulative and distributive sessions. Doing so creates a binary ecosystem, where demand profiles are assessed by a simple observation — it's either happening or it's not.

Currently, AMAT stock is on course to print a "6-4-U" sequence: six up weeks, four down weeks, with a net positive trajectory across the 10-week period. In 56.67% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 2.26%. Assuming that AMAT closes this Friday at $175, it could potentially rise to just under $179 in short order, perhaps a week or two.
Should the bulls maintain control of the market, historical trends suggest that AMAT stock could push toward the $181 level in the next three to four weeks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Optimistic But Sensible Trade For Applied Materials</h2>
Based on the market intelligence above, the multi-leg options strategy that arguably stands out the most is the 177.50/180 bull call spread expiring July 11. This transaction involves buying the $177.50 call and simultaneously selling the $180 call, for a net debit paid of $125. Should AMAT stock rise through the short strike price ($180) at expiration, the maximum reward is also $125, a payout of 100%.
Primarily, this trade is attractive because of the statistical response to the 6-4-U sequence. With the fundamentals also aligning positively, AMAT stock in theory should have enough fuel to trigger the short strike price at expiration.
Further, the 6-4-U represents a positive uptick in terms of sentiment regime. As a baseline, the chance that a long position will be profitable over any given week is 54%. With the aforementioned sequence, the bullish trader receives almost 3 percentage points of favorable odds.
Granted, it's not the biggest advantage. However, the advantage is still on the bulls' side, incentivizing a long-side debit strategy. As well, the political backdrop adds credibility to the argument.
