<p><strong>GIBO Holdings Ltd.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIBO#NASDAQ">GIBO</a>) shares are trading lower Friday following the company's announcement of its upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45464794/gibo-announces-upcoming-launch-of-gibo-create-to-earn-module-to-empower-monetization-of-ai-animati">Create-to-Earn module. </a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> The feature, currently in beta, is intended to serve as a core monetization tool for AI-generated animation and creative content within the GIBO Click ecosystem. Despite the strategic significance of the announcement, the stock traded lower, suggesting limited immediate investor enthusiasm or profit-taking after previous gains.</p>
<p>The new module is designed to enable creators, developers and digital contributors to earn income through real-time content valuation and automated rewards. GIBO said the system will use machine learning to evaluate the quality and relevance of AI-generated content and assign value scores, which will determine compensation.</p>
<p>Management positioned Create-to-Earn as a central component of GIBO's long-term plan to build a sustainable, scalable creator economy. The tool will also lay the foundation for future features like AI-based royalty settlements and community-driven reward systems. A pilot launch is expected to begin in select regions before a broader rollout on the company's platform.</p>
<p>Although the feature aligns with GIBO's broader push to lead in AI-generated content monetization, Friday's share decline indicates that the market remains cautious. Investors may be waiting to see actual adoption and revenue impact before reassessing the company's outlook.</p>
<p><strong>GIBO Price Action</strong>: Gibo shares were down 0.74% at $4.00 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga pro.</a></p>

GIBO Shares Fall Despite Announcing New Monetization Module For AI Creators: What's Going On?

<p>While many investors have been backing away from healthcare stocks amid regulatory overhangs and earnings pressure, <strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/andreas-halvorsen">Ole Andreas Halvorsen</a></strong> of <strong>Viking Global Investors</strong> is leaning in. </p>
<p>In the first quarter, Halvorsen added to his position in <strong>UnitedHealth Group </strong><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>Inc. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), snapping up additional shares that now account for <a href="https://whalewisdom.com/filer/viking-global-investors-lp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3.56%</a> of Viking's $31.5 billion portfolio, as outlined in a 13F <a href="http://edgar.secdatabase.com/585/110380425000004/filing-main.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filing </a>released Thursday. </span>This makes it the firm's fourth-largest equity holding.</p>
<p>The timing of the move is as interesting as the pick. UNH shares have struggled in recent months due to heightened scrutiny over Medicare Advantage reimbursements and broader sector rotation out of healthcare. </p>
<p><strong>Related: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45424904/unitedhealth-stock-caught-in-a-perfect-storm-falls-nearly-50-since-april">UnitedHealth Stock Caught In A Perfect Storm, Falls Nearly 50% Since April</a></strong></p>
<p>Despite that, Viking's move suggests a high-conviction belief that the worst may be priced in &#8211; and that UnitedHealth, with its integrated care model and unmatched scale, remains a long-term winner.</p>
<p>Halvorsen isn't known for short-term plays. His positions tend to reflect strategic, often contrarian views that run against prevailing sentiment. With peers pulling back from healthcare exposure, Viking's bet on UnitedHealth stands out &#8211; and could be a signal that institutional money sees stabilization, if not recovery, on the horizon.</p>
<p>It's also notable that Viking expands its UnitedHealth stake while maintaining significant financial positions in U.S. Bancorp, Schwab and Bank of America &#8211; suggesting a diversified but deliberate approach.</p>
<p>Healthcare makes up just a fraction of Viking's total portfolio, but its inclusion in the top five underscores its perceived quality and return potential.</p>
<p>With UNH trending on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH/news">news feeds</a> and Halvorsen's track record of spotting durable compounders, this stake expansion could be a bullish signal that healthcare's prognosis isn't as bleak as the headlines suggest.</p>

<p><strong>Trader Notes:</strong> According to <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1923078207491727535">Santiment</a>, Bitcoin is encountering stiff resistance in the $104,000–$105,000 zone, sparking short-term bearish sentiment across the market. </p>
<p>However, history suggests that when traders become fearful, it often sets the stage for a surprise rally.</p>
<p>A balanced 1:1 bullish-to-bearish social sentiment ratio is currently in play, which analysts say could be an early signal of a shift in market psychology, potentially preceding a breakout.</p>
<p>Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1923397505108083022">highlighted</a> $98,732 as a critical demand zone, where over 1.19 million BTC were accumulated by 1.19 million wallets. </p>
<p>He <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1923428733362508265">noted</a> that a daily close above $107,000 would be a bullish confirmation that "will take Bitcoin places."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Michael van de Poppe believes that as long as BTC holds above $98,000, it's in the final consolidation phase before a push to new all-time highs.</p>

<p>Trader Tim <a href="https://x.com/trader_tim_/status/1923441402962182628">cautioned</a> that Bitcoin and Ethereum are showing mixed signals heading into the weekend:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Ethereum is trading between its Monday range and last week's high, a potential deviation setup that could favor short positions.</li>
<li>Bitcoin hasn&#8217;t yet reclaimed its Monday high, but a push above it could spark stop runs in ETH, potentially propelling it toward $3,000.</li>
</ul>
<p>Tim advised traders to remain nimble in what he described as a choppy, tricky environment where it&#8217;s easy to get caught offside. &#8220;Tough conditions to trade lately. Hang in there. Stick and move.&#8221;</p>

The company recently reported that it has <strong>1.93 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 2.27% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 3.45 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h3>Comparing JB Hunt Transport Servs P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>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. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the <strong>38.83</strong> in the Ground Transportation industry, JB Hunt Transport Servs Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of <strong>26.83</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that  the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747422058_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>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. </p>

Forecasting The Future: 12 Analyst Projections For Urban Outfitters

<p><strong>Meta Platforms Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) shares are trading lower Friday following a Wall Street Journal report that the company is delaying the release of its next-generation AI model, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45453142/meta-platforms-stock-dips-on-ai-rollout-delay-amid-internal-turmoil-report">known internally as Behemoth.</a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know: </strong>Originally expected as early as April, the rollout is now postponed to fall or later, reflecting technical challenges and internal disagreement about the model's readiness.</p>
<p>According to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45453142/meta-platforms-stock-dips-on-ai-rollout-delay-amid-internal-turmoil-report"> the report</a>, engineers have struggled to make meaningful progress over previous models. Although Meta had previously claimed Behemoth could outperform offerings from OpenAI and Alphabet, internal training issues have slowed development. Frustration inside the company has grown, with management reportedly considering leadership changes on the AI team responsible for Llama 4.</p>
<p>The delay raises questions about Meta's broader AI strategy, especially as the company plans as much as $72 billion in capital expenditures this year, much of it directed toward AI development and infrastructure. While Meta declined to comment on the timeline or reported internal conflicts, the setback puts pressure on its ability to meet expectations in a highly competitive AI landscape.</p>
<p>Separately, Meta is also in the middle of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45462261/meta-asks-judge-to-dismiss-ftc-antitrust-case-mid-trial-says-instagram-whatsapp-deals-didnt-create-monopoly">federal antitrust trial.</a> The company has asked a judge to dismiss the Federal Trade Commission's case, which accuses Meta of maintaining a monopoly by acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp. Meta argued that the FTC has not proven those acquisitions harmed competition or prevented the growth of rival platforms. The outcome of the trial could have long-term implications for the company&#8217;s business strategy and regulatory risk.</p>
<p>The combination of AI delays and continued legal scrutiny weighed on Meta's stock, which traded lower despite broader strength in the tech sector. Investors are watching closely for updates on both the product roadmap and the court case as Meta navigates mounting pressure on multiple fronts.</p>
<p><strong>META Price Action:</strong> Meta shares were down 0.67% at $639.57 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga pro.</a></p>
