JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon offered his insights on global trade and U.S.-China relations amid escalating tariff tensions.
What Happened: In a recent interview <a href="https://www.ft.com/video/1315e028-8cbb-40fa-b9eb-4ba2df57edfc">with</a> the Financial Times, Dimon emphasized the importance of respectful and consistent dialogue between the U.S. and China to ease trade tensions. While acknowledging China&#8217;s significant economic growth and success, he also highlighted widespread global concerns over its trade practices and regional influence.
Dimon, referring to complaints about China flooding global markets with excess capacity, said, &#8220;They&nbsp;are scaring Japan, Korea, Indonesia,&nbsp;Vietnam, India.&#8221; He urged Chinese authorities to be receptive to addressing these concerns.
The JPMorgan Chase CEO argued against total economic decoupling from China, stating it&nbsp;is neither desirable nor necessary.&nbsp;He said that while it is &#8220;definitely possible&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;I don&#8217;t think that should be the objective.&#8221; He proposed that the U.S. should be self-dependent and collaborate with allies like Europe, the U.K., Japan, Korea, Australia, Philippines to jointly negotiate for equitable trade agreements. 
When asked if President Donald Trump should call Chinese President Xi Jinping, Dimon did not answer directly but said, &#8220;I think adults should talk to each other and listen to each other and acknowledge when the other person is right, or at least has a good point.&#8221; The CEO expressed optimism that the engagement between both countries would happen in the future. &#8220;You start with a phone call,&#8221; said Dimon. 
Despite apprehensions about a recent dip in the U.S. dollar, Dimon expressed&nbsp;confidence in the U.S. economy,&nbsp;highlighting&nbsp;its rule of law, innovation,&nbsp;and military power. He cautioned against taking America&#8217;s position for granted, stating, &#8220;America&nbsp;First is OK, but not&nbsp;America Alone.&#8221; The JPMorgan CEO stated that fragmentation in the Western world is a &#8216;bad idea&#8217;. &#8220;We don&#8217;t read a book in 40 years: &#8216;How the West was Lost&#8217;,&#8221; stated the JPMorgan CEO. 
Jamie Dimon stated that though he doesn&#8217;t agree with everything that the Trump administration does, he hopes that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent would lead the trade deals well.

Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time Dimon has expressed his views on trade tensions. Earlier in April, he cautioned that President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44665530/jamie-dimon-once-a-tariff-supporter-warns-trumps-new-policy-could-slow-us-growth-fuel-inflation-the-quicker-the-issue-is-resolved-the-better">trigger inflation</a> and slow down the U.S. economy. He warned of potential short-term effects, including inflationary impacts on both imported and domestic goods.
Later in the same month, during JPMorgan&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call, Dimon offered more insights on the possible effects of these tariffs on businesses and the economy. He spoke with JPMorgan economist Michael Farley, who updated the bank's most current forecast, which calls for 50/50 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44774273/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-expects-sp-500-growth-forecast-to-be-cut">chances of a recession</a> due to the ongoing global trade tensions. 
Meanwhile, the U.S. tariffs on China have risen to 245% while President Donald Trump awaits negotiations talks from Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Microsoft's dividend yield is 0.87%. It paid $3.32 per share in dividends during the last 12 months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Microsoft</h2>
On Jan. 29, the company announced its Q2 2025 earnings, posting quarterly GAAP earnings of $3.23 per share, beating the $3.11 consensus estimate, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43320124/microsoft-shares-slide-after-q2-results-cloud-revenue-misses-expectations-details">Benzinga</a>. Quarterly revenue clocked in at $69.6 billion, beating the $68.78 billion analyst consensus estimate.
Last week, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives slammed the ongoing "tariff game of poker" for fueling significant near-term uncertainty among tech companies, including Microsoft.
Ives said that despite President Donald Trump‘s 90-day pause on tariffs for certain countries, companies that are reliant on Chinese supply chains or cost inputs are still vulnerable.
Ives estimates that around 10% to 15%—possibly a conservative figure—of U.S. cloud and AI initiatives currently being tracked could be delayed or slowed during this period of heightened uncertainty. Microsoft is expected to be "front and center" of this economic climate, he adds.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Microsoft Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Microsoft dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $137,931, which is around 355 shares at $388.45 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (0.87% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0087 = $137,931 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Microsoft stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 355 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Microsoft has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 19 years.&nbsp;

Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
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.

REGN

Assessing Regeneron Pharmaceuticals: Insights From 7 Financial Analysts

Lost Creek Production
During 2025 Q1, we dried and packaged 83,066 pounds and shipped 106,301 pounds U3O8. At quarter end, our in-process inventory at Lost Creek was approximately 29,700 pounds, our drummed inventory at Lost Creek was 10,772 pounds, and our finished inventory at the conversion facility was 368,540 pounds. Our next shipment of product is scheduled for next week and we currently have 57 drums of product on the ground at Lost Creek.
We are pleased to report that the wellfield flow rate has increased by 44% since the beginning of March 2025 and is now routinely over 2,700 gallons per minute. Additional flow increases are expected throughout the summer as our current fleet of 19 contract drill rigs and Company construction staff bring on additional header houses and enhance flow in existing wells through routine maintenance and improvements. Head grade remains on target and our annualized production rate over the past week averaged over 400,000 pounds and remains on a positive trend. For context, our 2025 delivery commitment to our customers is 440,000 pounds of U3O8 and the repayment of a 250,000-pound U3O8 loan in the form of physical pounds, although repayment of this loan may be deferred upon agreement with the lender. We expect production rates to steadily increase throughout the summer.
The recovery rate in the processing plant has reached design levels as management of the elution circuit has improved, resulting in tail grade on the ion exchange columns commonly being less than three milligrams per liter. The elution and precipitation circuits are now functioning as designed. Both filter presses are operational, and we plan to upgrade the auger in each of the presses in early May, which should further improve throughput. Both rotary vacuum dryers are now operating and performing as designed.
Our safety performance has improved over the past several months with no recordable injury or illness incidents occurring in 2025. Implementation of a behavioral based safety program to proactively address and track potential safety issues has resulted in an improved safety culture and has increased employee participation in Company safety initiatives.
The recent improvements in performance and safety are attributable to several factors of which we believe the most important are growing employee skills and confidence and achieving higher employee retention rates. Our increased number of drill rigs together with mild winter conditions have also contributed to increased output.
Our objectives for Lost Creek for the remainder of 2025 are to continue to safely ramp up the wellfield flow rate and improve plant efficiencies by focusing on training, employee retention, and improved maintenance.
Shirley Basin Construction
Construction at our fully permitted Shirley Basin Project is on target and we continue to estimate mine startup by early 2026. We have hired many of our senior site management and 10 construction staff, who are already directly involved with facility construction. Training of new staff is ongoing, including certain training being conducted at Lost Creek. We have hired several additional professional staff who will join the Shirley Basin team in Q2. Recruiting for operational staff, including remaining managers, will be ongoing through the summer.
To date, the following construction activities have been completed:
Upgraded the existing road to an all-weather surface;
Installed and completed ~125 monitor wells for Mine Unit 1;
Refurbished the existing warehouse, construction bay and maintenance bay. We originally planned to construct new buildings but saved several million dollars by refurbishing existing buildings;
Installed and furnished modular offices for these buildings;
Installed power between the Company substation and the site for the satellite plant enclosure;
Initiated dirt work for the satellite plant foundation;
Installed communications and security systems;
Installed the septic system for the satellite plant enclosure; and
Advanced the construction of the ion exchange vessels, which is well underway in Casper with delivery expected this fall.
Before we initiate production at Shirley Basin, the Wyoming Uranium Recovery Program will perform a pre-operations inspection. To improve the efficiency of the inspection and operational approvals, we have begun to assemble Standard Operating Procedures and permitting documents for agency review.
In 2025, we plan to:
Complete the upgrade the Company-owned electrical substation;
Install the first header house in Mine Unit 1. Two drill rigs were mobilized to the project on April 14 from Lost Creek. We plan to add four more rigs in Q2. Relatively few drill rigs are required for Shirley Basin because dense historic drilling largely diminishes the need for additional exploration or delineation drilling;
Build the relatively small satellite plant enclosure, which will house the ion exchange and wastewater management systems;
Construct additional header houses in our Casper shop;
Install and furnish modular offices for the satellite plant enclosure; and
Install two evaporation ponds.
We are excited to bring Shirley Basin, a prolific historic uranium district and the birthplace of in situ uranium mining in 1963, back into production.
Finally, we want to briefly mention President Trump's recent Executive Order that directed the U.S. Department of Commerce to start a national security probe under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 into the impact of imports of critical minerals and uranium. The investigation is ordered to be completed within 180 days when a final report with recommendations is submitted to the President. The impact of the investigation and subsequent corrective actions, if any, are unknown at this time but could have a positive impact on Ur-Energy as one of the largest domestic uranium producers in the U.S.

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
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.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) stock is trading higher on Thursday after the U.S. healthcare giant reported topline Phase 3 results from ACHIEVE-1 trial of orforglipron compared to placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/weight-loss" rel="noreferrer noopener">diet and exercise alone</a>.
Eli Lilly adds that Orforglipron is the first oral small-molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, taken without food and water restrictions, to successfully <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44859676/lillys-oral-glp-1-orforglipron-demonstrated-statistically-significant-efficacy-results-and-a-safet" rel="noreferrer noopener">complete a Phase 3 trial</a>.&nbsp;
The trial randomized 559 participants to receive either 3 mg, 12 mg, or 36 mg orforglipron or placebo.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44824190/eli-lillys-mounjaro-launch-triggers-weight-loss-craze-in-india-novo-nordisk-seeks-to-move-up-wegovy-launch" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eli Lilly&#8217;s Mounjaro Launch Triggers Weight-Loss Drug Craze In India, Novo Nordisk Seeks To Move Up Wegovy Launch</a>
Lilly said on Thursday that it expects to submit orforglipron for weight management to global regulatory agencies by the end of this year, with the submission for the treatment of type 2 diabetes anticipated in 2026.&nbsp;
In the first Phase 3 trial of the ACHIEVE program, orforglipron met the primary endpoint of superior A1C (blood sugar) reduction compared to placebo at 40 weeks, lowering A1C by an average of 1.3% to 1.6% from a baseline of 8.0%, using the efficacy estimand.
In a key secondary endpoint, more than 65% of participants taking the highest dose of orforglipron achieved an A1C less than or equal to 6.5%, below the American Diabetes Association&#8217;s defined threshold for diabetes.
In an additional key secondary endpoint, participants taking orforglipron lost an average of 16.0 lbs (7.9%) at the highest dose.
Given that participants had not yet reached a weight plateau when the study ended, it appears that full weight reduction had not yet been attained.
For the treatment-regimen estimand, each dose of orforglipron led to statistically significant A1C reductions.
In the key secondary endpoint for body weight, 12 mg and 36 mg doses led to statistically significant reductions.
<ul>
<li>A1C reduction: 1.2% (3 mg), 1.5% (12 mg), 1.5% (36 mg), 0.4% (placebo)</li>
<li>Percent weight reduction: 4.5% (3 mg), 5.8% (12 mg), 7.6% (36 mg), 1.7% (placebo)</li>
<li>Weight reduction: 4.2 kg (9.3 lbs; 3 mg), 5.2 kg (11.5 lbs; 12 mg), 7.2 kg (15.8 lbs; 36 mg), 1.5 kg (3.4 lbs; placebo)</li>
</ul>
The overall safety profile of orforglipron in ACHIEVE-1 was consistent with the established&nbsp;GLP-1&nbsp;class. The most commonly reported adverse events were gastrointestinal-related and generally mild to moderate.
The most common adverse events for participants treated with orforglipron (3 mg, 12 mg, and 36 mg, respectively) were diarrhea (19%, 21%, and 26%) vs. 9% with placebo, nausea (13%, 18% and 16%) vs. 2% with placebo, dyspepsia (10%, 20% and 15%) vs. 7% with placebo, constipation (8%, 17% and 14%) vs. 4% with placebo, and vomiting (5%, 7% and 14%) vs. 1% with placebo.
Overall treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 6% (3 mg), 4% (12 mg), and 8% (36 mg) for orforglipron vs. 1% with placebo.
No hepatic safety signal was observed.
Pfizer Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) oral danuglipron was tied to &#8220;high rates&#8221; of mild gastrointestinal side effects, leading to more than half of the patients across all dose groups&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44790653/pfizer-discontinues-once-daily-weight-loss-pill-over-liver-injury-in-one-patient" rel="noreferrer noopener">dropping out from the trial</a>.&nbsp;
More results from the ACHIEVE Phase 3 clinical trial program will be shared later this year, along with findings from the ATTAIN Phase 3 clinical trial program evaluating orforglipron for weight management.
Price Action: LLY stock is up 11.3% at $817.99 during the premarket session at the last check Thursday.

Dogecoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) recent listing via the 21Shares <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44708344/21shares-launches-dogecoin-fund-backed-by-dogecoin-foundation">Dogecoin ETP on Swiss exchanges</a> has reignited debate over whether it's just a meme—or something more substantial.
What Happened: In a detailed X <a href="https://x.com/maximichielsen/status/1912462778008281212">post</a> on April 16, 21Shares Digital Asset Investment Strategist Max Michielsen made the case that Dogecoin is evolving beyond its meme origins. 
With more than a decade of survival, a vibrant community and increasing adoption, he argues DOGE is "digital folklore" that transforms internet culture into real liquidity.
DOGE has outperformed every top 25 crypto over the past decade and doubled its user base since 2021. Among the notable highlights, Dogecoin runs on its own blockchain with fast one-minute blocks, low fees and transparent, disinflationary tokenomics. 
It supports real-world payments and charitable causes, driven by the ethos "Do Only Good Everyday."
The meme coin has generated massive returns of up to 130,000% over the last decade, consistently forming higher lows through cycles. 
DOGE has outperformed Bitcoin by 1000x and its low correlation (15%) to other major assets makes it a strong portfolio diversifier.

What's Next: Based on market share, cycle history and adoption trends, Michielsen has predicted a valuation range for Dogecoin in 2025. 
He forecasts the meme coin to touch $0.38 despite growth stagnation in a bearish market and $1 in a neutral market, accounting for a 3-4% share of a $5 trillion total crypto market capitalization.
In a bull market, Michielsen expects DOGE to repeat its last cycle's explosive run and peaking at $1.42.

What Returns Could A 1% Dogecoin ETF Allocation Yield?

The bearish sentiment, measured by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) Sentiment Survey, broke a record this week as it stayed above the 50%-mark for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44730455/bearish-sentiment-hits-seven-week-high-mimicking-35-year-old-record-which-marked-the-bottom-of-the-october-1990-b"> the eighth consecutive week.</a>
What Happened: Despite a weekly decrease in negative sentiment, the latest AAII survey showed bearishness still leading bullish and neutral views at 56.9% this week.
The bullish sentiment also declined from the previous week, while neutral sentiment rose to 17.7% from 12.5%.
AAII survey, conducted weekly from Thursday to Wednesday, noted a 2% decrease in pessimism from 58.9% to 56.9% this week; similarly, bullish sentiment also reduced by nearly 3% from 28.5% to 25.4% this week.
The bearish sentiment continues to be above 50% for the eighth straight week. The streak began on the week ended Feb. 26, when it first touched the 60.6% mark.
While the seven-week-long streak matched a 35-year-old record from October 1990, this week&#8217;s eighth week of advance broke all records.
According to Subu Trade, &#8220;This has never happened before. Not during COVID, 2008, the dot-com collapse, or the 1990 bear market.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The historical average of bearish sentiments stood at 31%, which was nearly half of the current pessimism among the participants of the AAII survey.
Whereas, historically, the bullish participants surveyed to at 37.5% on an average.
Jeff Weniger, the head of equities at WisdomTree, shared a graph combining all the fear gauges, including VIX, AAII Bears, and Investors Intelligence survey, to conclude that the S&amp;P 500 index always gains after a period of extreme fear.
&#8220;In 10 of the last 11 fear spikes, the S&amp;P 500 went on to gains over the next 52 weeks. Returns were often large too (+31.0%, +21.0%, and so on),&#8221; he said.
