Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is doing just fine, thank you very much. While other streamers fight over scraps, the OG is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/earnings">stacking subscribers, content, and cash</a> &#8211; and throwing punches with live sports and games too.
Fresh off a beat on both top and bottom lines for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44877995/netflix-crushes-q1-says-its-working-hard-to-improve-and-expand-its-offering">the first quarter</a>, the stock surged above all key moving averages, flashing a &#8220;strongly bullish&#8221; signal across the board.

As Ed Egilinsky, Managing Director at Direxion, put it: "NFLX is experiencing slight buying pressure"—but it's clear investors are feeling more than slightly confident.
Instead of obsessing over sub counts (which it&#8217;s no longer disclosing quarterly), Netflix focused on the future: "We remain optimistic about our 2025 slate," the company said, highlighting returning hits, surprises, and the highly anticipated "Squid Game" Season 3 &#8211; set to drop on June 27.

Not to be outdone, the company is also bringing NFL football to Christmas Day, and just launched its in-house ad tech, signaling it&#8217;s not just playing in the advertising arena—it's aiming to control the field.
And let's not forget games. "Squid Game: Unleashed" has already been a smash hit, and new content is syncing up with the show's return. In the battle for attention, Netflix isn't just streaming—it's scheming.
With the stock now trading at $973.03 &#8211; well above its eight, 20, 50 and 200-day SMAs (simple moving averages) &#8211; momentum looks unstoppable. And with 2025 revenue guidance locked in at up to $44.5 billion, Netflix is streaming confidence straight into investors&#8217; portfolios.
As the company puts it, it&#8217;s building "the most valued entertainment company for members, creators and shareholders." So far, mission very much accomplished.

'Trump Studying Whether Removing Powell Is Option, Hassett Says'- Bloomberg

<ul>
<li>For years, Microsoft has been the leading software provider for U.S. government agencies, holding an 85% share of the market</li>
<li>But a new deal between Google and the U.S. General Services Administration may change that up</li>
<li>The deal, Google says, has the potential to save the federal government up to $2 billion</li>
</ul>
Microsoft has long been the primary software provider for federal government agencies, but <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-slashes-business-software-prices-us-federal-agencies-2025-04-10/">Reuters</a> reports that Google just secured a deal that could put an end to that reign.
According to the report, Google has offered a 71% discount as part of an agreement with the General Services Administration. If adopted, Google says the deal could save government agencies up to $2 billion.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
The deal comes at a time when President Donald Trump has been working to minimize federal spending. His administration installed Elon Musk as the de facto leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, tasking them with identifying and canceling unnecessary contracts and shrinking agencies.
The GSA, which is responsible for managing federal properties and services, was one of the first agencies targeted by DOGE. A spokesman for GSA told Reuters that, "The Workspace agreement marks a step forward in GSA&#8217;s work with Google and other companies to create cost savings for the federal government.&#8221;&nbsp;
Importantly, the deal will be based on the entire volume of the government, which could lead to more savings for it, Reuters reports. Previous deals, according to the report, have seen separate agencies get separate contracts with different discounts attached to each, making for a more chaotic and less structured system.

Reuters reports that Google is hopeful that the deal, which will be effective through September, will open the door for more extensive government contracts in the future. In 2021, it was estimated by Reuters that Microsoft's share of the U.S. government's software market was 85%, making it the largest player in the space by far.&nbsp;
For some time now, Google has been working on taking a larger share of the consumer, enterprise, and government markets. Its addition of a host of AI features powered by its large language model, Gemini, to its workspace is a perfect example of these efforts.
But it seems Google is looking to change things up at Gemini. On April 2, it said that Sissie Hsiao, who led the development of Gemini, would be stepping down. It's been widely reported that she's set to be replaced by Josh Woodward, who currently leads Google Labs and oversaw the launch of NotebookLM. Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, reportedly said in a memo to staff that the move will help the company focus on the future of Gemini and that Hsiao is not leaving the company, just stepping into a new role.&nbsp;

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Agnico Eagle Mines 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

The housing market is witnessing a disparity between the number of sellers and potential buyers. 
What Happened: The main reason behind this imbalance is the affordability concerns among potential buyers, leading to a rise in inventory and possible price reductions, as per a report by&nbsp;Zillow.
According to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/national-association-realtors-rules-commissions-zillow-home-search-pocket-listings-2025-4">report</a>, sellers listed over 375,000 homes in the previous month, a 32% surge from the month prior, and a 9% increase year-over-year. However, the growth in buyer activity did not keep pace with this surge, resulting in flat pending home sales compared to the previous year.
This mismatch led to a net increase of 110,000 listings, pushing the overall inventory up by&nbsp;19% year-over-year to 1.15 million,&nbsp;the highest since March 2020. Despite the low mortgage rates in March 2025, high home prices have deterred buyers, leading to higher mortgage payments.

Skylar Olsen, Zillow&#8217;s chief economist, told the outlet,&nbsp;&#8220;While sellers leaned on the&nbsp;gas, buyers didn&#8217;t keep up.&#8221; This resulted in&nbsp;23% of listings on Zillow&nbsp;experiencing a price reduction in March, the highest percentage since 2018.
However, Zillow&#8217;s Market Heat Index indicates that the housing market has largely favored sellers over the past five years, only shifting to a &#8220;sellers market&#8221; in March for the first time since June of the previous year.
Why It Matters: The current buyer-seller mismatch in the housing market is a clear indication of the affordability concerns among potential buyers. Despite the increase in listings and potential price cuts, high home prices continue to be a deterrent. 
This situation, if it persists, could lead to a significant shift in the housing market dynamics, with potential long-term impacts on both buyers and sellers. 
The role of factors such as mortgage rates and overall economic conditions will also be crucial in determining the future trajectory of the housing market.

For Sale, But No Takers: The US Housing Market's Awkward Standoff

Erik Prince, a businessman and longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, has reportedly agreed to help the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) secure and tax its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">vast mineral wealth</a>.
According <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-supporter-prince-reaches-deal-with-congo-help-secure-mineral-wealth-2025-04-17/">to</a> Reuters, he reached the agreement before the M23 rebel group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43573846/un-warns-about-escalating-conflict-dr-congo-as-rebels-seize-mining-center">launched a major offensive</a> in January 2025 that saw them seize key cities in eastern Congo, including Goma. Two sources close to Prince, a Congolese official, and two diplomats confirmed new discussions, focusing on improving tax collection and reducing cross-border smuggling of valuable minerals.
With the cash leaks in Congo's mining sector, there&#8217;s a desperate need for structure," said one source. Despite no confirmed links to the U.S. government or military, security contractors remain a possible option under future U.S. support frameworks.
Prince, best known as the founder of Blackwater—the private security firm implicated in the killing of Iraqi civilians in 2007—has operated in Africa for over a decade, providing logistics and security services for mining and oil companies. His companies have been active in Congo since 2015, though previous attempts to deploy contractors, including a 2023 proposal to send thousands to the conflict-ridden east, failed to materialize.
The DRC&#8217;s mineral wealth is staggering. The country holds an estimated 6 million metric tons of cobalt, over 57% of global reserves, essential for electric vehicle batteries. It also possesses around 75 million metric tons of copper, 150 million carats of diamonds, and vast gold, coltan, tin, and lithium deposits, most of which are extracted under poor oversight and often smuggled out of the country. KoBold Metals, a startup backed by billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, has recently approached DRC, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44456007/gates-bezos-backed-startup-makes-move-for-dr-congos-lithium">inquiring about lithium mining</a>, while copper giant Freeport-McMoran (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) has floated the idea about returning to the jurisdiction it exited in 2020.
Smuggling conflict minerals has been a heated topic. The DRC accused and even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42527087/dr-congo-fires-first-salvo-files-complaints-against-apple-over-conflict-minerals">sued Apple</a> before the French prosecutor dropped the charges, classifying them as "not sufficiently well-founded."
Sources say Prince's initial security deployment is expected in the Katanga province, particularly at copper mines near Kolwezi – a region allegedly losing up to $40 million per month in untracked mineral flows. Sources noted they expect contractors to avoid direct conflict zones, instead deploying alongside commodity inspection specialists to improve transparency and revenue collection.

In response to allegations of AI model mimicry, OpenAI has implemented stricter access protocols. 
What Happened: Developers are now required to provide government ID verification to gain access to the company&#8217;s advanced AI models. 
The OpenAI has made it mandatory for developers to provide government ID verification to access its advanced AI models. This measure is intended to prevent misuse and protect the company&#8217;s intellectual property.
A recent study by AI content detection company, Copyleaks, found that 74% of outputs from the&nbsp;Chinese model, DeepSeek-R1, were classified&nbsp;as OpenAI-written. This indicates that OpenAI&#8217;s outputs may be used to train competing AI systems, a practice known as distillation, which could potentially&nbsp;violate OpenAI&#8217;s terms of service.
As per the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-tightens-access-evidence-ai-model-mimicry-deepseek-2025-4">by </a>Insider, OpenAI has not yet commented on these findings, but has previously expressed concerns about developers intentionally violating usage policies. Earlier this year, the company stated that it was investigating indications of DeepSeek distilling their models inappropriately.

While distillation is a common practice in AI research, unauthorized use could lead to legal complications. The debate over ownership in the AI industry is escalating, and tools&nbsp;like Copyleaks&#8217; digital fingerprinting system&nbsp;could help&nbsp;trace and verify authorship at&nbsp;the model level.
Why It Matters: OpenAI&#8217;s decision to tighten access protocols comes at a time when the AI industry is grappling with issues of ownership and intellectual property rights. The alleged misuse of OpenAI&#8217;s outputs by competing AI systems underscores the need for stricter regulations and verification processes. 
By requiring government ID verification, OpenAI aims to ensure that its advanced AI models are used responsibly and in compliance with its terms of service. 
This move could potentially set a precedent for other companies in the industry, leading to more robust measures to protect intellectual property in the AI space.

OpenAI's Latest Move Has Competitors Like DeepSeek on Edge

When you leave a job, what happens to your retirement savings? If you have a 401(k) or 403(b), personal finance expert Suze Orman says it might be time to consider a rollover — especially into an IRA or Roth IRA. On a recent episode of her "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-revisiting-can-i-give-my-child-money-and-get-a-tax-deduction">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, Orman explained why she's been recommending this move for years.
Here's what you need to know about her advice and why it could benefit your long-term retirement plans.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Investment Choices After a Rollover</h2>
Orman's number one reason for rolling your 401(k) or 403(b) into an IRA? Flexibility.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<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 $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Retirement plans through your employer usually limit you to a small number of mutual funds or company-selected investment options. But once you roll over your savings into an IRA or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44656837/build-your-retirement-portfolio-while-saving-for-emergencies-a-roth-ira-can-double-as-an-emergency-fund-is-that-true">Roth IRA</a> — especially through a brokerage firm like Fidelity or Schwab — you get access to a much wider variety of investments.
"When you transfer it and put it into an IRA, now you can buy exchange-traded funds, individual stocks. You could buy certificates of deposit. You could buy treasuries," Orman said. "You could probably even buy the exact same things the 401(k) is invested in."
She also pointed out that if you're looking to hold individual bonds, you won't be able to do that within most workplace plans. Instead, you're usually stuck with bond funds — something she personally doesn't recommend.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Tax Advantage of a Roth IRA Conversion</h2>
Depending on the type of plan you have — traditional or Roth — how you roll over your funds matters. A traditional 401(k) or 403(b) must be rolled into a traditional IRA to avoid taxes on the full amount at the time of transfer. A Roth 401(k), on the other hand, can move into a Roth IRA.
Orman encourages listeners to think carefully about converting from a traditional to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44476776/this-53-year-old-is-losing-money-on-her-250k-roth-ira-suze-orman-says-do-this">Roth IRA during retirement</a>. That's because, in retirement, you're likely in a lower tax bracket than you were during your working years. Paying taxes on the conversion now could mean paying less than you would later when required minimum distributions kick in.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What If You're Nervous About Managing Your Investments?</h2>
Orman acknowledges that not everyone is ready to take control of managing their own investments after a rollover. If you're comfortable with your current plan and the idea of managing a large sum on your own feels overwhelming, it's OK to leave the money where it is.
Transferring your retirement savings into an IRA or Roth IRA after you leave a job isn't just about moving money around — it's about gaining more control, more choices, and the ability to tailor your investments to your changing needs.
Whether you&#8217;re approaching retirement or already there, it may be worth exploring if a rollover makes sense for you. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> can help you weigh the pros and cons based on your situation.

How Do Investors Really Feel About Interparfums?

In the current session, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) is trading at $32.90, after a 1.26% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 18.26%, and in the past year, by 32.79%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744992035_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Freeport-McMoRan P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 24.64 in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 25.63. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Freeport-McMoRan Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744992035_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
