Grove Collaborative Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROV#NASDAQ">GROV</a>) experienced a surge of 21.37% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, following HumanCo Investments&#8217; suggestion for the company to consider a sale.
What Happened: After an investor from HumanCo Investments, an investment management firm specialised in health and wellness, sent a letter to the Grove Collaborative&#8217;s board, urging them to consider a sale, the stock of the environmentally friendly everyday essentials company saw a 21.37% increase in value in after-hours trading, reaching $1.42.
This news seems to have had an immediate impact on the company&#8217;s stock.
Why It Matters: This surge in stock value comes at a crucial time for Grove Collaborative Holdings — an online retailer that purveys eco-friendly and sustainable household goods. The company has been facing challenges in meeting the market cap and equity requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In May, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45476813/grove-collaborative-holdings-receives-nyse-non-compliance-notice-over-market-cap-equity-requirements">received a non-compliance notice</a> from the NYSE due to its failure to meet these requirements.
Moreover, Grove Collaborative Holdings recently amended its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46308467/grove-collaborative-holdings-amends-sepa-extends-to-august-2027-sepa-with-yorkville-for-100m-stock-s">Stock Exchange Purchase Agreement </a>(SEPA) and extended it to August 2027. The amendment involved a $100 million stock sale with Yorkville. The company&#8217;s stock value has been fluctuating in response to these developments.
The recent call for a sale by an investor has sparked further interest in the company&#8217;s future, leading to a surge in stock value. 
Price in Action: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GROV">Benzinga Pro</a> data, Grove, after closing at $1.17, down 1.68% for the day, saw an uptick of 21.37% amounting to $1.42 during after-hours trading.

Grove Collaborative Surges 21% After-Hours After Investor Pushes For Company Sale

Economist Justin Wolfers pushed back against President Donald Trump&#8217;s 25% tariffs on Japan, despite the latter actively working towards a resolution on the matter.
What Happened: On Tuesday, in a post on X, Wolfers discussed Japan&#8217;s top trade negotiator&#8217;s recent travel to Washington D.C., where instead of engaging in high-level talks, the official was reportedly denied a meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
&#8220;He delayed his departure from the United States, hoping that the Treasury secretary would meet with Japan, one of the largest economies in the world,&#8221; Wolfers says, speaking with MSNBC, before eventually heading home since that failed to materialize.

Wolfers further highlights that the Japanese envoy managed only two brief phone calls with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick but failed to gain access to U.S. decision-makers in government.
Yet, on Monday, President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on all imports to the United States from Japan. &#8220;How's Japan meant to make sense of this?&#8221; Wolfers asks.

The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s requests for a comment on this matter. The story will be updated as soon as we receive a response.
Why It Matters: Economist Peter Schiff warned early this week that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46288703/trumps-letters-to-japan-and-korea-attract-criticism-from-economists-move-demonstrates-complete-lack-of-understanding-of-trade">Trump's public letters</a> to Japan and South Korea showed &#8220;a complete lack of understanding of trade,&#8221; since both countries impose just about 1% and 2% tariffs on goods from the U.S.
&#8220;Our trade deficits result from South Korea and Japan making more goods that Americans want to buy than the goods we make that they want to buy,&#8221; he said in a post on X. 
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46288472/japans-prime-minister-criticizes-trumps-tariff-decision-shigeru-ishiba-calls-move-truly-regrettable">expressed his dissatisfaction</a> with Trump&#8217;s decision on Tuesday, calling it &#8220;truly regrettable.&#8221;

Scott Bessent Never 'Made Time' For Japan's Trade Negotiator, Says Economist, Yet The US Ally Got Hit With Trump Tariffs — How Should Tokyo Make Sense Of This?

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood agrees with Fundstrat Global Advisors Head of Research Tom Lee and has likened the Circle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRL#NYSE">CRL</a>) IPO to a pivotal moment in the crypto industry, suggesting that institutional investors can no longer ignore the convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain.
What Happened: In a Tuesday interview with BanklessHQ, Wood drew parallels between the Circle IPO and the &#8216;ChatGPT moment&#8217; in the crypto industry. &#8220;I heard Tom Lee describe the Circle IPO as the ChatGPT moment and I understand it, Wood said.&#8221;
She highlighted that the IPO has sparked a significant shift in the attitude of institutional investors towards the crypto space.
&#8220;Before, trying to convince institutional investors about crypto felt pointless. But now, they&#8217;re seriously digging into it — because missing out on something as big as the AI-and-crypto combo just isn&#8217;t an option,&#8221; Wood said.
She also credited the IPO for bringing about a change in the regulatory landscape, which led to a surge in institutional interest in the cryptocurrency space.

Wood&#8217;s comments come in the wake of Circle&#8217;s successful IPO, which saw a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46289982/circle-shares-surge-92-since-nyse-debut-cathie-wood-highlights-arks-successful-take-on-stablecoin-issuers-ipo">92% surge</a> in its shares since its debut on the NYSE. The company is the issuer of the USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) stablecoin, which has been gaining traction in the crypto market.
Why It Matters: The Circle IPO has been a significant event in the crypto industry, with Wood&#8217;s ARK Invest being one of the early investors in the company. Wood had previously praised her team&#8217;s successful take on Circle, particularly the work of Raye Hadi, a new member of ARK&#8217;s cryptocurrency research team, for their immediate impact on Circle.
Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46019582/circles-blockbuster-success-aside-tether-ceo-doesnt-want-to-go-public-not-trying-to-please-couple-of-jpmorgan-analysts">Circle&#8217;s blockbuster success</a>, the CEO of stablecoin issuer Tether, Paolo Ardoino, had earlier stated that the company had no plans to go public, citing its profitability and conservative management as key reasons behind the decision.
The Circle IPO also coincided with a significant development in the regulatory landscape, as the Senate passed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45989307/senate-passes-genius-act-coinbases-brian-armstrong-calls-it-big-milestone-scott-bessent-says-passage-could-drive-stablecoins-into-a-3-7-trillion-market">GENIUS Act</a>, a bill that established the country's first regulatory framework for dollar-pegged stablecoins. This move was celebrated by prominent figures in the cryptocurrency industry, including Coinbase&#8217;s Brian Armstrong and Scott Bessent.

Cathie Wood Agrees Circle IPO Is 'Crypto's ChatGPT Moment' — Warns Institutions That Ignoring The AI-Crypto Combo 'Just Isn't An Option'

President Donald Trump on Wednesday thanked local and state officials for renaming a four-mile stretch of Southern Boulevard &#8220;President Donald J. Trump Boulevard,&#8221; calling the unanimous vote a &#8220;wonderful honor.&#8221;
What Happened: "It has been brought to my attention that the Great State of Florida, which I won BIG three times, and where I am a proud Resident, has renamed an important four-mile stretch of Southern Boulevard … to ‘PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BOULEVARD,'" he wrote on Truth Social. "Thank you to Palm Beach County, Governor Ron DeSantis, and all of Florida's great State Lawmakers … I LOVE FLORIDA!"
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="289" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09012648/Trump-truth-social-1-1024x289.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-977619" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09012648/Trump-truth-social-1-1024x289.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09012648/Trump-truth-social-1-300x85.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09012648/Trump-truth-social-1-768x217.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/09012648/Trump-truth-social-1.jpg 1310w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners voted 7-0 Tuesday, <a href="https://cbs12.com/news/local/county-commissioners-vote-7-0-to-rename-stretch-of-southern-boulevard-after-president-trump-south-florida-news-president-donald-j-trump-boulevard-google-maps-july-8-2025">according</a> to CBS12, to apply the honorary name to the roadway from Palm Beach International Airport to Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
Under a bill, the GOP-led Legislature passed in May and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed on June 13, the state Department of Transportation will install the signs once local leaders sign off.

The same legislation designates an adjacent segment "PBSO Motorman Highway" in memory of three Palm Beach County motorcycle deputies killed last November. County staff said the new signs should be up by September. Addresses and emergency systems will continue to use Southern Boulevard.
Why It Matters: Cities and lawmakers across Florida have long honored commanders in chief by planting their names on major roads. Riviera Beach rechristened Old Dixie Highway as President Barack Obama Highway, Delray Beach swapped Northeast Eighth Street for George Bush Boulevard, and the Legislature stamped the entire Turnpike as the Ronald Reagan Turnpike.
President Donald Trump does like the odd name change himself. In January, he signed an executive order that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43086509/trump-unleashes-executive-orders-on-border-security-oil-drilling-domestic-manufacturing-in-first-acts-as-president">renamed the Gulf of Mexico</a> the "Gulf of America" and restored Alaska's Mount McKinley name after it had been changed to Denali. He has now added his own marker closer to home with the newly approved President Donald J. Trump Boulevard in Palm Beach County.

President Donald Trump has proposed&nbsp;a federal takeover of New&nbsp;York City and Washington D.C. for better governance and lower crime rates.
What Happened: During a White House Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump expressed his concerns about the upcoming mayoral election in New York City. He criticized Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani and other contenders, including Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, without endorsing any of them, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-suggests-taking-new-york-city-washington/story?">reported</a> ABC News.
Trump warned that if a communist is&nbsp;elected to run New York,&nbsp;it could &#8220;never be the same.&#8221; He then shifted his focus to Washington, D.C., expressing a desire to cut crime and improve the city&#8217;s management. Trump&#8217;s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, is said to be collaborating with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser on this project.
Trump has been a long-time advocate&nbsp;for the federal government to&nbsp;take over Washington, citing concerns about crime and the effectiveness of local leadership. He suggested that the city would be run &#8220;so good&#8221; and that crime would be significantly reduced.
Despite&nbsp;the 1973 Home Rule Act,&nbsp;which grants the district some autonomy, Trump believes that the federal government could run the capital flawlessly. He also criticized New York City&#8217;s ranked-choice voting and stated, &#8220;We&#8217;re going to bring New York back.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time Trump has clashed with Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist candidate for NYC mayor. Earlier this month, Mamdani&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213003/zohran-mamdani-hits-back-at-trumps-arrest-threats-over-potentially-blocking-new-york-ice-raids-will-not-accept-this-intimidation">responded</a>&nbsp;to Trump&#8217;s threats of arrest and deportation if he obstructed federal immigration raids in New York City. Mamdani called it an &#8220;authoritarian threat&#8221; and an &#8220;attack on our democracy&#8221;.
Furthermore, in June, Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162859/trump-threatens-to-cut-federal-funding-for-nyc-if-zohran-mamdani-doesnt-do-the-right-thing-as-future-mayor-if-he-does-get-in-im-going-to-be-president">threatened</a>&nbsp;to cut federal funding for New York City if Mamdani, if elected, didn&#8217;t &#8220;do the right thing&#8221;. These incidents highlight the ongoing tension between Trump and potential future leaders of New York City, and his willingness to leverage federal power to influence local politics.

Trump Mulls Federal Takeover Of Washington DC And NYC Ahead Of Zohran Mamdani's Mayoral Bid: 'We're Going To Bring New York Back'

Elon Musk's commercial space flight company, SpaceX, could potentially sell insider shares in a deal that would push the space exploration giant's valuation to around $400 billion, surpassing Musk's $395 billion net worth.
What Happened: The potential deal would mark the biggest valuation of a privately held company in U.S. history, sources cited by Bloomberg said <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-08/spacex-valuation-said-to-hit-around-400-billion-in-share-sale">on</a> Tuesday. It would surpass SpaceX's previous record of $350 billion.
The valuation is largely based on SpaceX's LEO or Low Earth Orbit satellite internet provider Starlink, which accounts for over half the company's revenue, the report said.
SpaceX's advances in rocket technology with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46135182/elon-musks-spacex-says-starship-debris-recovery-hindered-by-trespassing-unauthorized-parties-seeks-help-from-mexican-authorities">Starship rocket</a> program are also a driving factor for the valuation.
The fundraising strategy involves the company selling a "small number" of new shares to investors, with SpaceX then selling insider shares at a price determined by the initial round, the report said.
Why It Matters: The news comes as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46216023/after-trump-warns-elon-musk-to-close-up-shop-china-rallies-behind-worlds-richest-man-theres-no-need-to-keep-putting-up-with-it">tensions continue to rise</a> between Musk and President Donald Trump over the latter's tax bill, which Musk says would raise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46187403/elon-musk-is-unhappy-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-and-just-reminded-everyone-that-80-voted-for-a-new-party">the debt deficit</a> to $5 trillion.
The billionaire also announced he would establish a political party, dubbed the ‘America Party,' as a third option in the U.S.'s two-party system. Musk's plans were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46266957/trump-calls-america-party-a-train-wreck-blasts-elon-musk-for-going-completely-off-the-rails-president-says-system-not-designed-for-a-third-player">heavily criticized by Trump</a>. 
However, Musk's feud with the President could have lasting effects on the billionaire's businesses like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as the Tax bill axed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46289556/trumps-tax-bill-axes-the-7500-ev-credit-heres-how-you-can-still-claim-it">$7,500 EV credit</a>. Meanwhile, SpaceX regularly collaborates with NASA, most recently on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46090664/india-may-have-been-to-mars-and-moon-but-an-indian-hasnt-been-in-space-for-41-years-elon-musk-just-changed-that">Ax-4 mission</a> to the ISS.
Elsewhere, despite criticism, Musk has refused to back down on his attacks on the Trump administration and recently even reignited the Jeffrey Epstein <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46270547/elon-musk-reignites-jeffrey-epstein-client-list-row-adding-fuel-to-the-feud-with-trump">client list row</a>.

RxSight Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RXST#NASDAQ">RXST</a>) plummeted by 34.32% in after-hours trading on Tuesday. The drop followed the company&#8217;s decision to revise its 2025 revenue forecast.
What Happened: The stock of RxSight Inc. experienced a sharp decline in after-hours trading, closing at $8.40, a 34.32% decrease from the day&#8217;s closing price of $12.79. This sudden drop was a result of the company&#8217;s revised 2025 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/07/46308093/rxsight-shares-are-trading-lower-after-the-company-cut-its-2025-revenue-guidance-from-160m-175m-to-1">revenue guidance</a>.

RxSight Inc. had initially projected its 2025 revenue to be in the range of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/04/44624912/rxsight-warns-on-fy25-revenue-as-premium-cataract-market-faces-headwinds-stock-plunges">$160 million to $175 million</a>. However, the company recently adjusted this forecast to a much lower range of <a href="https://investors.rxsight.com/news-releases/news-release-details/rxsight-inc-announces-preliminary-second-quarter-2025-revenue">$120 million to $130</a> <a href="https://investors.rxsight.com/news-releases/news-release-details/rxsight-inc-announces-preliminary-second-quarter-2025-revenue">million</a>.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: The recent drop in RxSight Inc.&#8217;s stock value is a direct consequence of the company&#8217;s revised revenue forecast. This development comes on the heels of the company&#8217;s preliminary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46308080/rxsight-sees-prelim-q2-revenue-33-6m-down-4-yoy-co-also-cuts-2025-revenue-guidance-from-160m-175m-to">second-quarter revenue announcement</a>, which was $33.6 million, a 4% decrease year-over-year. This decline in revenue, coupled with the revised 2025 forecast, has impacted investor sentiment.
Despite the recent downturn, it is worth noting that RxSight Inc.&#8217;s stock had been performing well earlier in the year. In May, the company&#8217;s stock value rose after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/05/45499152/rxsight-shares-are-trading-higher-after-wells-fargo-upgraded-the-stock-from-equal-weight-to-overweig">Wells Fargo upgraded its rating from Equal-Weight to Overweight</a>, and raised its price target from $17 to $25.

RxSight Falls 34% After Hours Following Revenue Warning

GameSquare Holdings, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAME#NASDAQ">GAME</a>) shares climbed higher after-hours after a $100 million Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) investment announcement spurred a 58% rally on Tuesday.
What Happened: The firm disclosed the pricing details of its underwritten public offering for the sale of&nbsp;8.42 million shares of common stock&nbsp;at $0.95 per share. The majority of the proceeds will be used to accelerate its Ethereum-based treasury strategy, it said in a press release.
This initiative is backed by a strategic partnership with&nbsp;Dialectic, a company focused on crypto-native capital&nbsp;management.
GameSquare&#8217;s Board has given the green light for an Ethereum&nbsp;allocation of up to $100&nbsp;million. The investments will be phased over time, ensuring&nbsp;adequate working capital for the&nbsp;operating business.

Why It Matters: GameSquare&#8217;s move aligns with a nascent but steadily growing trend in the industry.
A case in point is&nbsp;Bit Digital Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTBT#NASDAQ">BTBT</a>), which recently liquidated its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holdings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46276974/bit-digital-btbt-goes-all-in-on-ethereum-sells-all-bitcoin-whats-going-on">to focus solely on Ethereum</a>. This strategic pivot was made possible through a capital raise, demonstrating the firm&#8217;s strong belief in the future of the Ethereum blockchain.
Additionally, BitMine Immersion Technologies (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMNR#AMEX">BMNR</a>), which recently roped in Wall Street veteran Tom Lee as chairman, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46177905/inside-tom-lees-plan-to-build-microstrategy-of-ethereum-at-bitmine">adopted ETH as its primary reserve asset</a>.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, ETH was exchanging hands at $2,605.62, up 2.90% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Shares of GameSquare spiked 6.49% in after-hours trading after exploding 58.8% to $1.540&nbsp;during Tuesday&#8217;s regular trading session.
GAME Stock demonstrated a low momentum score—a measure of the stock&#8217;s relative strength based on its price movement patterns and volatility over multiple timeframes—as of this writing.

Dow Tumbles Over 150 Points Amid Trump Tariffs: Investor Sentiment Declines, Fear Index Moves To 'Greed' Zone

Sinovac Shareholders Approve SAIF Partners' Proposals To Remove Board And Elect Ten New Directors At Special Meeting

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has called for a formal investigation into President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/07/46212970/trump-wins-16-million-settlement-from-paramount-over-cbs-60-minutes-kamala-harris-interview-but-no-apology-issued">settlement with</a> Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>).
What Happened: Last week, Paramount said it would pay $16 million to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45676520/is-paramount-offering-millions-to-trump-to-end-60-minutes-lawsuit-report-says-opening-offer-has-been-made">settle Trump's lawsuit</a> over a "60 Minutes" segment. However, Trump later said the agreement is actually worth far more, <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/trump-60-minutes-lawsuit-settlement-advertising-35-million-paramount-psa-1236447353/">reported</a> Variety.
Speaking to reporters late Thursday, Trump said, "We did a deal for about $16 million plus $16 million, or maybe more than that, in advertising," the report noted, citing a White House pool report by a Washington Post reporter, Cat Zakrzewski.
"So it's a combination of 16 plus 16 plus. So it's like $32 [million] to maybe $35 million," the President stated.

On Tuesday, Warren once again highlighted the issue saying, "UPDATE: This just got worse. Donald Trump apparently cut a secret side deal for MILLIONS in pro-Trump ads."
"That would mean Paramount and its soon-to-be owner are shelling out $30 MILLION+ to support Trump — all while trying to get his approval on their merger. Is this bribery?"

Trump and Paramount did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: A New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/02/media/how-secret-side-deal-helped-seal-paramounts-16m-settlement-with-trump/">report</a> earlier this month had alleged a "side deal" under which CBS would air public service announcements promoting conservative causes linked to Trump, potentially valued at up to $20 million.
Paramount, however, denied any such arrangement. In a statement, the company said, "Contrary to some news reports or media speculation, Paramount's settlement with President Trump does not include PSAs or anything related to PSAs."
The settlement comes as the Skydance Media–Paramount <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38131641/paramount-globals-potential-sale-to-skydance-media-a-tale-of-shifting-shareholder-outcomes-and-s">merger awaits regulatory</a> approval. Trump has also said that the "60 Minutes" settlement had nothing to do with his administration's approval of Skydance Media's pending acquisition of Paramount, the report added.
Meanwhile, Trump is now in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46256702/sundar-pichai-next-trumps-next-big-tech-payday-could-be-from-youtube-after-settling-lawsuits-with-meta-and-x-productive-discussions-underway">settlement talks</a> with YouTube parent Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google over his lawsuit alleging political censorship after the platform banned him following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Price Action: As of this writing, Paramount's Class A shares remained unchanged in after-hours trading at $23, while Class B shares dipped 0.24% to $12.60, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

AZZ, Aehr Test Systems And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) announced a strategic partnership with Replit on Tuesday that will democratize software development across enterprise teams through &#8220;vibe coding&#8221;—an artificial intelligence-powered approach that enables employees to build applications using natural language without coding expertise.
What Happened: The collaboration integrates Replit&#8217;s agentic development platform with Microsoft Azure&#8217;s infrastructure, allowing business users in sales, marketing, and operations to create production-ready software by simply describing their needs in plain English.
Replit CEO Amjad Masad said the partnership marks &#8220;an exciting new chapter&#8221; in enterprise software creation.
&#8220;Now every team member—not just engineers—can turn ideas into software with Replit Agent, no code required,&#8221; Masad wrote on X Wednesday. The platform already serves over 500,000 business users building everything from internal tools to customer-facing applications.

&mdash; Amjad Masad (@amasad) <a href="https://twitter.com/amasad/status/1942601151398174915?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 8, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Vibe coding represents a fundamental shift in software development, coined by computer scientist Andrej Karpathy in February 2025. The methodology prioritizes a &#8220;code first, refine later&#8221; approach with human oversight, enabling rapid prototyping and iterative development cycles that align with agile frameworks.
The partnership comes as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that AI now writes 20-30% of the company&#8217;s code base, reflecting broader industry adoption of AI-assisted development. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts half of his company&#8217;s future development <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45093643/ai-is-reshaping-coding-at-microsoft-says-nadella-30-of-code-now-ai-generated">will be AI-generated within a year</a>.
&#8220;Our collaboration with Replit democratizes application development, enabling business teams across enterprises to innovate and solve problems without traditional technical barriers,&#8221; said Deb Cupp, President of Microsoft Americas.

Why It Matters: Replit maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance and enterprise-grade security controls, addressing corporate governance requirements. The platform targets two primary use cases: rapid prototyping for product and design teams, and internal tool development for operational departments where traditional SaaS solutions fall short.
The partnership supports Microsoft&#8217;s broader AI strategy, which generated $13 billion in annual revenue growing 175% year-over-year.
