Benzinga Market Summary: Healthcare Stocks Fall On Molina Guidance, Tesla Shares Fall On Earnings Miss, Indexes Missed As Investors Assess Earnings Reports

Shares of BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMNR#AMEX">BMNR</a>) are trading higher Thursday after the company announced its Ethereum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46597403/bitmine-immersion-eth-holdings-exceed-2-billion-of-ethereum-to-advance-its-ethereum-treasury-strat">holdings have exceeded $2 billion. </a>
What To know: The announcement comes just over two weeks after BitMine closed a $250 million private placement to advance its Ethereum treasury strategy.
According to the company, BitMine now holds 566,776 ETH, valued at approximately $3,643.75 per token as of July 23, based on Bloomberg data. The current holdings represent a more than 700% increase in value relative to the capital raised through the initial private placement. BitMine is pursuing what it calls an "asset-light treasury strategy," focused on accumulating and staking Ethereum to increase ETH held per share.
Chairman Tom Lee of Fundstrat noted that the company is progressing toward its longer-term target of owning 5% of the total ETH supply. The growth in ETH reserves reflects a combination of reinvested cash flows, capital markets activity and returns from staking, all of which are designed to enhance shareholder value over time.
CEO Jonathan Bates emphasized the company's commitment to supporting the broader Ethereum ecosystem through its growing holdings and staking activities. BitMine sees its Ethereum-centric approach as a way to align with the long-term growth of decentralized finance and Web3 infrastructure.
The stock's upward move reflects investor confidence in the company's strategy and in the growing role of Ethereum as a financial asset. BitMine's performance this month has drawn attention from market watchers, especially given the pace at which it has scaled its ETH reserves since early July.
BMNR Price Action: BitMine Immersion shares were up 10.0% at $43.45 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Sarepta Therapeutics Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Down -14.4%

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MULN#NASDAQ">MULN</a>) stock dropped on Thursday as it <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46599398/mullen-announces-company-name-change-to-bollinger-innovations-inc-effective-july-28-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced it would</a> officially change its name to Bollinger Innovations, effective July 28, 2025.
On the same day, the company&#8217;s common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol BINI. The CUSIP number for the stock will remain unchanged.
The company confirmed that this name and ticker update will not affect its legal structure or business operations, and shareholders do not need to act.

CEO and Chairman David Michery said the move represents more than a rebranding. &#8220;We are bringing our products and brands together under one strong and unified identity, ready to service the commercial vehicle industry.&#8221;
Last week, Mullen <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46427316/ev-maker-mullen-automotive-rebrands-to-bollinger-innovations" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced restructuring plans</a> by merging its operations with subsidiary Bollinger Motors, rebranding as Bollinger Innovations, and updating its Nasdaq ticker symbol before August 15, 2025.
The company shared plans to centralize commercial vehicle operations in Oak Park, Michigan, and consolidate all sales, marketing, and service under the Bollinger brand to streamline operations and boost financial efficiency.
Since early 2025, Mullen has cut 155 jobs and expects to save at least $35 million annually. Executives said the move will eliminate redundant roles and focus resources on its core Class 1, 3, and 4 electric commercial vehicle offerings, including the Mullen ONE, Mullen THREE, and Bollinger B4.
Mullen stock has plunged 100% year-to-date as it grappled with financial losses and a lack of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46279040/tax-credits-are-ending-can-mullens-global-push-and-crypto-pivot-win-over-ev-buyers" rel="noreferrer noopener">consistent growth in</a> the competitive EV market. In 2025, it completed three reverse stock splits—on February 18, April 11, and June 2—to meet Nasdaq&#8217;s $1 minimum bid price requirement. Each split reduced the number of outstanding shares.
Additional headwinds could come from the U.S. regulatory landscape. The U.S. House of Representatives passed President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; eliminating the $7,500 tax credit for new U.S.-made EVs. The tax credit will expire on September 30, leading some automakers to start raising electric vehicle prices in anticipation.
However, the company also has its share of promises. On June 3, Mullen announced plans to relaunch its FIVE RS EV Crossover in Germany this December, after completing 800-volt battery testing in Munich.
The company will begin on-road testing next and plans to expand sales to the EU, UAE, and South Africa in 2026. To support international growth, Mullen partnered with German firm FPF to ensure high-quality production before entering the U.S. market.
On June 25, Mullen revealed it would begin accepting Bitcoin and TRUMP Coin for EV purchases, aiming to attract crypto-enthusiasts and politically engaged consumers while boosting brand exposure through meme coin culture.
Price Action: MULN shares are trading lower by 17.80% to $0.062 at last check Thursday.

Trader Notes: Glassnode data <a href="https://x.com/glassnode/status/1948378884287746500">shows</a> that Bitcoin's recent surge from $110,000 to $117,000 carved out a low-density accumulation zone, often referred to as an on-chain air gap. 
These gaps, while typically thin in volume, have historically served as bottoming zones during corrective phases. 
So far, Bitcoin has remained comfortably above its $122,600 all-time high, but if support falters, that air gap could re-emerge as a key demand zone.
Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez points to tightening Bollinger Bands on the 4-hour Bitcoin chart, signaling that a volatility spike is likely imminent. 
He suggests a decisive close beyond the $117,000–$119,700 range could set off the next significant directional move.

Daan Crypto Trades also highlighted that Bitcoin is nearing a critical decision point, noting price action has been trapped in a choppy triangle pattern for the last couple of weeks.
He urges to wait for confirmation rather than anticipate the breakout prematurely, to avoid getting whipsawed by indecisive market behavior.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Turn Green As Trader Warns That 'Decision Time Is Near'

Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google just dropped a show-stopping stat: 2 billion users are now engaging with its AI features across products like Gmail, Android, and Docs. That's a huge leap from last year—and a clear signal that Google's AI integration is scaling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">fast and wide</a>.
GOOGL stock is moving fast. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GOOGL">Check the latest price here.</a>
At first glance, it appears that Google is running laps around Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), whose last reported figure—1 billion monthly active users engaging with AI on WhatsApp—was disclosed over a month ago, at the end of May. But that number may already be outdated. Meta hasn't offered a recent update, which suggests its own AI usage could be rising quietly under the radar.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Game Of Numbers—And Timing</h2>
While Google's Android ecosystem provides a broad surface for deploying AI—encompassing everything from autocomplete in Gmail to voice assistance on Pixel phones—Meta has been integrating its AI more deeply into day-to-day chat experiences, particularly through its Llama-based Meta AI chatbot on WhatsApp and Instagram.
The strategic difference lies in the interface: Google is embedding AI across productivity tools and mobile OS layers, while Meta is betting on conversational ubiquity through its messaging apps. However, with Meta expanding AI integration across Facebook and Instagram, too, it could be just one update away from redefining the leaderboard.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why The Next Update Cycle Matters More Than Ever</h2>
Google may be ahead in numbers today, but Meta has a knack for viral product rollouts—and a far more intimate grip on global communication habits. If Meta pushes a deeper, smarter AI assistant across its social platforms next, it could quickly swing momentum in its favor.
For now, Google's 2 billion is the number to beat. But in a race where user adoption can double in weeks, the real question is: Who's about to launch next?

Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

AutoZone Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

ALLE

Allegion shares are trading higher after raising FY25 adjusted EPS guidance above estimates.

&nbsp;IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IQST#NASDAQ">IQST</a>), a leading provider of telecom, fintech, AI, and cybersecurity services, today released a comprehensive shareholder letter recapping a recent investor interview conducted by Michael Poarch with the company's CEO and CFO. The letter outlines key milestones including the company's NASDAQ uplisting without raising funds, strong revenue trajectory approaching a $400 million annual run rate, active EBITDA generation, recent acquisitions, and its bold $1 billion revenue goal by 2027. The management team also shared details of ongoing engagement with institutional investors and family offices, all aimed at accelerating shareholder value without raising funds.
Dear Shareholders,
We're thrilled to share with you the highlights from a recent in-depth interview conducted by Michael Poarch with our CEO and CFO. For over six years, Michael has followed IQSTEL's journey, and his thoughtful questions gave us the perfect opportunity to reflect on our past accomplishments, share our current momentum, and present our bold vision for the future.
The full interview captured the essence of IQSTEL — our unwavering commitment to transparency, sustainable growth, and shareholder value. Below is a comprehensive recap and summary of the most relevant insights.
This letter presents a comprehensive summary of the most relevant insights from that conversation.&nbsp; <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4474967-1&amp;h=176812488&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPpV2l-MHH0k&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPpV2l-MHH0k">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpV2l-MHH0k</a>.
From OTC to NASDAQ — Direct Listing without raising funds
IQSTEL's recent uplisting to NASDAQ is a rare milestone in the small-cap world: it was achieved without raising funds. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the discipline of our leadership team and the strength of our financials. We met every NASDAQ requirement organically — from establishing an independent Board and audit committee to strengthening our equity position — and we did it all while preserving shareholder value.
Our leadership chose a path that avoided the typical shortcuts. We opted not to raise capital through dilutive instruments. Instead, we focused on building shareholder equity, reducing debt, and delivering consistent growth.
$400M Run Rate in Sight – Reaching Critical Mass
In 2018, our revenue was $13 million. In 2024, we're tracking nearly $300 million. And in Q3 2025, we expect to cross a $400 million annual run rate — ahead of our original year-end schedule. This achievement stems from a deliberate, multi-year strategy that has combined organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and tight financial execution.
We're already generating positive EBITDA and net income in our operating subsidiaries. And we're not stopping there —, we plan to begin reporting of both revenue and EBITDA, reflecting our increasing profitability and financial maturity, in our goal to $1 billion dollar revenue company.
Fintech, Telecom, AI &amp; Cybersecurity — The Future is Here
IQSTEL's foundation is in telecommunications, but we've expanded to build a robust ecosystem of complementary high-tech services. Today, our revenue is comprised of approximately 80% telecom and 20% fintech — and that fintech share is growing fast.
We've launched AI-powered services, including:
<ul>
<li>IQ2Call.ai : Our AI call center agent is already deployed in the U.S. and Spain, generating new revenue. &nbsp;</li>
<li>AIRWEB.ai: A multilingual web/phone AI customer service agent. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Cycurion Partnership: Offering AI-driven cybersecurity tailored for telecoms.</li>
</ul>
These aren't just concepts — they're real products generating traction, built on our trusted relationships with over 600 telecom operators in 21+ countries.
Strategic Acquisitions – And More to Come
In July 2025, we closed the acquisition of Globetopper, adding $60–$70 million in annual revenue and positive EBITDA. This acquisition also kickstarted the relaunch of our fintech division, and we have an internal plan to grow Globetopper's contribution to over $100 million annually.
And yes — we have identified our next acquisition target. While details remain confidential, our strategy is clear: acquire businesses that immediately contribute significant EBITDA in the millions range, reinforce our core capabilities, and create synergy within our telecom-fintech-AI framework.
$1 Billion Vision — Why It Matters
We've set a bold but achievable target: $1 billion in annual revenue by 2027. This isn't just about a number — it's about reaching the scale and EBITDA levels of publicly traded peers. At that level, we project $20–$30 million in EBITDA per year. With sector peers trading up to 20x EBITDA multiples, with $1 Billion revenue.
Today, IQSTEL trades below 1x revenue, but our roadmap is designed to bring us closer to peer valuation multiples — by knocking on institutional doors, eliminating debt, growing EBITDA, and delivering consistent results.
Built for the Long Term – Executing with Discipline
IQSTEL is not a hype-driven story. We are a disciplined, transparent, and hardworking company run by executives with deep experience in managing global operations — from Verizon to Telecom Italia. Our team sets clear annual and monthly goals, monitors each subsidiary's performance, and executes with military precision.
We understand our responsibility: this company belongs to our 20,000+ shareholders. That's why we've always communicated openly — through monthly updates, shareholder letters, and detailed public filings. Transparency is not a buzzword for us — it's our operating principle.
Institutional &amp; Family Office Outreach – No Dilution, Just Opportunity
We've started actively knocking on the doors of institutional investors and family offices, presenting our story, vision, and roadmap. Our goal is clear: gain awareness and encourage them to purchase shares on the open market — with no new share issuance or dilution involved. We believe our fundamentals speak for themselves, and we are now socializing our business case with long-term capital sources who align with our vision.
Why Believe in IQSTEL?
If you're looking for a company that quietly and consistently delivers — IQSTEL is it. We don't overpromise. We under promise and overdeliver.
We've built a trusted platform to sell multi-million-dollar solutions to the biggest telecom players on Earth. Now, we're leveraging that platform to introduce high-margin tech products in AI, fintech, and cybersecurity.
We are not in the spotlight yet, but not for much longer
In Closing
We thank you — our shareholders — for your trust and belief in IQSTEL. This is a pivotal moment. We're no longer just a growth story. We're an execution story.
Stay tuned — the best is yet to come.
Sincerely,
Leandro Iglesias President &amp; CEO
And
Alvaro Quintana CFO

Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.
Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

What Analysts Are Saying About SEI Investments Stock

Masimo's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MASI#NYSE">MASI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.69% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.03 million shares sold short, which is 8.16% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.14 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Masimo Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1753383635_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Masimo has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Masimo's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
