Nasdaq Confirms So-Young Regains Compliance As ADSs Maintain $1.00 Closing Bid Price For 10 Consecutive Days

CNBC commentator Jim Cramer pointed out that three tech behemoths, Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), have closed the first half of the year at record highs, surpassing their &#8216;Magnificent Seven&#8217; counterparts.
What Happened:&nbsp;Cramer, on Tuesday, pointed out that these companies, which he referred to as the &#8220;M-N-Ms,&#8221; have outperformed their peers, CNBC&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/01/jim-cramer-says-microsoft-meta-and-nvidia-pulled-ahead-of-the-mag-7.html">reported</a>. He attributed their success to specific developments that occurred during the year.
Microsoft, despite disappointing Wall Street with its Azure cloud business growth in January, managed to turn things around by the end of April, reporting a 33% growth in the segment.
Nvidia, the AI titan, had a shaky start to the year due to competition fears from Chinese startup DeepSeek. Despite a subsequent drop in April due to U.S. government restrictions on its sales in China, the company bounced back strongly in the following months. Cramer attributed this to &#8220;semiconductor&nbsp;superiority and persistent demand from&nbsp;the hyperscalers.&#8221;
Meta, on the other hand, experienced a decline in its stock value at the beginning of the year, in line with the broader trend of growth stocks. However, the company&#8217;s strong advertising abilities, as evidenced by its April earnings, turned the tide.
"Not FANG. Not Magnificent Seven. Just M-N-Ms," stated Cramer. "The sole survivors of a brutal quarter from what used to be the most captivating group in the market,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Despite the initial setbacks, these companies have managed to bounce back and achieve record highs. This is indicative of the resilience and adaptability of these tech giants in the face of challenges, a quality that is crucial in the ever-evolving tech industry.
Additionally, the success of Microsoft, Nvidia, and Meta is reflective of the overall performance of the tech sector. Despite concerns of a potential &#8220;tech wreck&#8221; earlier in the year, the sector has shown remarkable strength, as evidenced by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46180484/nvidia-palantir-tech-stocks-to-buy-q3-2025-sectors">historic gains</a>&nbsp;made by tech darlings in the second quarter of 2025.
Furthermore, the continued growth and innovation in the AI sector, which has been a significant factor in the success of companies like Nvidia and Microsoft, have led Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives to predict that these companies are on track to achieve a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46188671/nvidia-microsoft-on-track-to-achieve-4-trillion-market-cap-says-analyst-dan-ives-tech-bull-market-is-still-early">$4 trillion market cap</a>&nbsp;in the near future.
However, it&#8217;s worth noting that even amid this success, companies like Microsoft have had to make tough decisions, such as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46226585/microsoft-cuts-9000-jobs-in-second-2025-layoff">laying off</a> thousands of employees&nbsp;in a bid to control costs.
On a year-to-date basis, shares of Meta, Microsoft and Nvidia surged 19.08%, 17.32% and 13.69%, respectively as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs was acquitted Wednesday of three federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges but convicted on two prostitution-related counts — a mixed verdict that marks a partial legal victory while keeping him in custody ahead of sentencing.
What Happened: The verdict, delivered by Manhattan jurors after 13 hours of deliberation, represents a partial vindication for Combs, whose entertainment empire has faced mounting legal scrutiny since September 2024. The 54-year-old music executive was cleared of racketeering conspiracy charges that could have resulted in life imprisonment, according <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/2025/07/02/diddy-trial-verdict-sex-trafficking-racketeering-release/">to</a> the Washington Post.
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs&#8217; $1 million bail request, citing his history of domestic violence despite defense arguments that acquittal on the most serious charges warranted release. The judge noted that &#8220;domestic violence is violence&#8221; in his ruling.
The prosecution&#8217;s case centered on allegations that Combs operated a criminal enterprise through his business network, including Bad Boy Records, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/07/46211886/diddy-jury-deadlocked-on-racketeering-conspiracy-charge-as-verdicts-reached-on-sex-trafficking-counts-jurors-to-return-wednesday">which he founded in 1993</a>. The label achieved significant commercial success with 13 chart-topping albums between 1997 and 2022.

Why It Matters: Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo argued prosecutors overreached with the racketeering charges, telling the court his client &#8220;has been given his life back by this jury.&#8221; The acquittal on sex-trafficking charges undermines the government&#8217;s theory that Combs coerced romantic partners into sexual acts.
Key testimony came from former girlfriend Casandra &#8220;Cassie&#8221; Ventura, whose 2023 lawsuit against Combs resulted in a $20 million settlement and triggered the federal investigation, according to the report. Ventura&#8217;s attorney, Douglas Wigdor, stated after the verdict that his client &#8220;has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice.&#8221;
Combs faces sentencing on October 3 for the two prostitution-related convictions, each carrying potential sentences of up to 10 years. Federal prosecutors have indicated they will seek more than four years&#8217; imprisonment.
President Donald Trump previously indicated he would consider a pardon for Combs if he believed the music producer was treated unfairly, though rapper Curtis &#8220;50 Cent&#8221; Jackson has stated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45713681/50-cent-says-hell-personally-ask-trump-not-to-pardon-diddy-if-disgraced-rapper-is-convicted-donald-doesnt-take-well-to-disrespect">he would personally urge Trump against such clemency</a>.

Diddy Found Guilty On 2 Counts, Not Guilty On 3: Sex Trafficking Charges Dropped, But Prison Still Looms

Former President Barack Obama warned Wednesday that more than 16 million Americans risk losing their health coverage as House Republicans struggle to advance President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tax and spending package that includes significant cuts to Medicaid funding.
What Happened: &#8220;More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act,&#8221; Obama said in a social media statement. &#8220;If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The former president urged Americans to &#8220;call your representative today and tell them to vote no on this bill,&#8221; as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) worked through the night to secure enough votes for passage by Trump&#8217;s July 4 deadline, according <a href="https://apnews.com/article/big-beautiful-bill-trump-tax-cuts-3b525482be43fdf956366cebd84dcaac">to</a> the Associated Press report.
The legislation, dubbed Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/07/46215083/how-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-impacts-snap-medicaid-taxes-and-student-loans">implement a $1 trillion Medicaid cut over 10 years</a> while expanding work requirements for able-bodied adults ages 19-64, including parents of children 14 and older.
Recipients would need to log 80 hours monthly of work, study, or volunteering to maintain coverage.

Why It Matters: The Congressional Budget Office projects that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/07/46215083/how-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-impacts-snap-medicaid-taxes-and-student-loans">approximately 12 million more Americans</a> would become uninsured by 2034 from the Medicaid provisions alone.
States would face increased administrative burdens, conducting eligibility verification twice yearly and income checks every six months.
The 887-page bill also targets the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program with $295 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/25/07/46215083/how-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-impacts-snap-medicaid-taxes-and-student-loans">cuts over a decade</a>, representing the deepest food-aid reduction in modern history.
Work requirements would expand to able-bodied adults without small children until age 64, up from 54 under current law.
House Republicans faced significant resistance from their own caucus Wednesday night, with several members refusing to vote on the procedural measure.
Trump criticized the delay in a midnight social media post, warning holdouts about &#8220;COSTING YOU VOTES!!!&#8221;
The package includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts over 10 years, with provisions for deducting tips and overtime pay, plus a temporary $6,000 deduction for seniors earning under $75,000 annually.
Defense and immigration enforcement would receive $350 billion in new funding, according to the AP report.

Obama Warns 16 Million Americans Could Lose Health Care As GOP Pushes Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' With Deep Medicaid Cuts

Wedbush Securities' analyst and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) bull Dan Ives hailed the company, saying that the &#8220;fireworks come early&#8221; for Tesla following Q2 deliveries, which fared better than some analysts' expectations despite a decline in sales.
What Happened: The analyst hailed Tesla's 384,122 deliveries, which Ives said beat "Street whisper numbers of ~365k vehicles," in a note released on Wednesday. The investor reiterated a $500 Price Target for TSLA, which is a 58% upside on the stock and maintained an ‘Outperform' rating.
A major chunk of the deliveries came from the Tesla Model 3 and the Model Y, with the automaker delivering over 373,728 units, according to the figures shared by Elon Musk's company.
Ives also outlined that Tesla's Chinese sales improved after a period of "significant weakness" as the company saw a "rebound in June with sales increasing for the first time in eight months reflecting higher demand for its updated Model Y."
The analyst also said that Musk's proactiveness has helped Tesla and predicts the company will see further growth should Musk remain focused on the brand.&nbsp;
"If Musk continues to lead and remain in the driver's seat, we believe Tesla is on a path to an accelerated growth path over the coming years with deliveries expected to ramp in the back-half of 2025 following the Model Y refresh cycle," Ives said.
Elsewhere, the investor also shared that Tesla has the potential to "own the autonomous market" in the U.S. with FSD as well as "license its technology to other auto players both in the U.S. and around the globe," Ives said.
However, Ives also noted that Musk must put Tesla ahead of his political views, fearing that the <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">feud with the Trump</a> administration could lead to more "hawkish" sentiment on Tesla and reduce government spending on the company, given the Robotaxi operation in Austin and Cybercab ambitions.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46221375/tesla-stock-jumps-on-strong-q2-deliveries">Tesla stock surged</a> following the release of the delivery data by the company, which beat analysts' expectations, given the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189042/elon-musk-led-teslas-european-woes-worsen-with-sales-down-over-60-in-sweden-and-denmark">poor sales figures</a> in multiple markets.
The company also confirmed it will introduce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46212911/amid-declining-sales-elon-musks-tesla-confirms-new-affordable-models-will-be-introduced-this-year">more affordable models</a> in its lineup, though it hasn't provided any confirmation about whether it'll be stripped-down versions of already-existing models or brand new.
Elsewhere, Musk will assume <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46214467/elon-musk-will-oversee-tesla-sales-in-the-us-europe-after-omead-afshars-exit-report">oversight of Tesla sales</a> in the U.S. and Europe after close aide Omead Afshar's exit from the company, according to reports in the media.

Dan Ives Hails Tesla's Better Than Expected Q2 Deliveries, Says 'Fireworks Come Early' For Elon Musk-Led EV Giant

Economist Peter Schiff is calling out President Donald Trump&#8217;s newly announced trade deal with Vietnam, warning that American consumers are likely to bear the brunt of the agreement.
What Happened: On Thursday, in a post on X, Schiff criticized the deal, saying that it gives Vietnamese consumers an upper hand while leaving American shoppers worse off. 
Schiff didn't hold back when declaring &#8220;Americans are losers and Vietnamese are winners&#8221; under the new trade deal, saying that U.S. consumers will end up paying more for Vietnamese imports, while buyers in Vietnam gain cheaper access to American goods.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46128469/nike-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-headwinds-expected-to-moderate-moving-forward-company">Nike Q4 Earnings: Revenue Beat, EPS Beat, Headwinds Expected To Moderate Moving Forward, Company Playing &#8216;Sport Offense&#8217;</a>
He says this about consumers in both nations, &#8220;relative to their positions under Biden,&#8221; which essentially means to say that Americans are worse off, while the Vietnamese are better off than they were last year, as a result of this deal.
Here, Schiff is referring to the terms of the new agreement, according to which the U.S. will charge 20% on all imports from Vietnam, while the latter will not charge anything on American imports. 
The U.S. will also be imposing a steeper 40% tariff on goods that pass through Vietnam, a process known as trans-shipment. This move is aimed at tackling Chinese goods that flow through Vietnam, while sporting the label &#8220;Made In Vietnam,&#8221; according to a report by Reuters.

Why It Matters: Schiff has been a vocal critic of Trump&#8217;s tariff regime over the past couple of months, referring to them as a &#8220;self-inflicted wound,&#8221; especially the ones that were imposed on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43613133/trumps-25-tarrifs-a-self-inflicted-wound-says-economist-amid-warnings-of-fewer-american-jobs-peter-schiff-says-youll-pay-more-for-cars-and-homes">steel and aluminum imports</a>.

Peter Schiff Warns 'Americans Will Suffer' And 'Vietnamese Will Enjoy' After Trump's Trade Deal With Hanoi

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Wednesday.
U.S. stocks settled mostly higher on Wednesday, with the S&amp;P 500 settling at a record high level during the session after President Donald Trump announced a new trade agreement with Vietnam.
On the economic front, the ADP National Employment Report showed private employers shed 33,000 jobs in June 2025 — the first monthly contraction since March 2023. The sharp miss reinforced market bets that the Fed may ease policy sooner than expected. Economists now expect Friday&#8217;s official nonfarm payrolls report to show a slowdown from 139,000 to 110,000 jobs.
Rate cut odds rose sharply. Markets now see a 25% chance of a July cut and fully price in a reduction by September. A second cut by December is also fully priced in.
The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBX#NYSE">GBX</a>) shares jumped 21% on Wednesday after the company posted stronger-than-expected results for the third quarter.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with materials, information technology and energy stocks recording the biggest gains on Wednesday. However, health care and utilities stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed lower by over 10 points to 44,484.42 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.47% to 6,227.42, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.94% to 20,393.13 during Wednesday's session.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 63.2, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 61.3.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Pre-Market Outlook

S&P 500 Settles At Record High After Trump Announces Trade Deal With Vietnam: Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) experienced a surge in sales in China during the month of June amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46087914/teslas-europe-sales-slide-for-5th-straight-month-elon-musk-led-ev-giants-market-share-shrinks-to-1-3">declining sales</a> in other markets.
What Happened: Elon Musk's EV giant sold 61,000 units in the Chinese domestic market, a 3.7% YoY increase from the same time last year, according to data obtained by Reuters on Thursday.
Tesla sales also jumped 59% in China when compared to sales in May, the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Tesla reported better-than-expected Q2 delivery results with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46238590/tsla-stock-surges-5-as-q2-deliveries-better-than-feared-gary-black-explains-why-elon-musk-led-tesla-fared-better-than-markets-worst-fears">over 384k deliveries</a>, largely driven by the Tesla Model 3 and the Tesla Model Y.
The sales surge in China could provide a major boost to Musk and Tesla amid a 60% decline in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189042/elon-musk-led-teslas-european-woes-worsen-with-sales-down-over-60-in-sweden-and-denmark">Swedish and Danish</a> sales, as well as poor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162850/tesla-sales-in-canada-have-dropped-to-nearly-zero-says-researcher-expects-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-may-report-losses-starting-2026">sales figures in Canada</a>.
The news also coincides with Musk assuming oversight of Tesla's sales operations in the West in Europe and the U.S. after Omead Afshar's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132042/teslas-q2-sales-going-to-s-says-gary-black-after-tsla-north-america-and-europe-chief-omead-afshars-exit">exit from the company</a>.

Polestar Selects Volvo Cars As Manufacturing Partner For Polestar 7, Expanding European Footprint

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), was allegedly asked to leave a meeting in the Oval Office due to security clearance issues.
What Happened: Zuckerberg, who was at the White House to meet with President Donald Trump, unexpectedly walked into a meeting about the F-47 stealth fighter jet, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/fox-news-maga-hats-cookies-trump-west-wing-rcna214754">NBC</a> News reported on Wednesday. The Facebook founder was reportedly asked to wait outside due to concerns about his security clearance.
However, a senior Trump official refuted the claim that Zuckerberg was asked to leave the Oval Office.&nbsp;He told The New York Post&nbsp;that the situation was &#8220;mischaracterized.&#8221; &#8220;He was not asked to leave,&#8221; the official said. &#8220;He&nbsp;popped in to say hello&nbsp;at the president's request, and&nbsp;then left to wait for&nbsp;his meeting with POTUS to&nbsp;begin, which was scheduled to&nbsp;occur after the meeting with&nbsp;the pilots.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This incident comes amid a series of events that have linked&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;and&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) to the Trump administration. Meta insiders revealed that Zuckerberg&#8217;s apparent alignment with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46050532/mark-zuckerbergs-maga-pivot-driven-by-elon-musk-envy-image-goals-say-betrayed-meta-insiders-report">MAGA movement</a> had left many of his colleagues feeling &#8220;grieving,&#8221; with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s popularity being a major motivating factor. 
This shift in Zuckerberg&#8217;s public image followed a suggestion by Trump that Meta could invest up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44323127/trump-suggests-meta-may-invest-up-to-60-billion-in-the-us-by-the-end-of-2025">$60 billion</a> in the US by the end of 2025.
In June, Meta Platforms and other American Big Tech were relieved as Canada&nbsp;rescinded its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46161429/canada-rescinds-digital-services-tax-after-trump-calls-it-a-blatant-attack-on-america">Digital Services Tax</a>&nbsp;after Trump called it a &#8220;blatant attack&#8221; on America, a move that was seen as a step towards mending bilateral relations. 
On a year-to-date basis, Meta stock surged 19.08%.

Mark Zuckerberg Reportedly Crashes Donald Trump's Oval Office F-47 Jet Briefing, Asked To Leave—White House Says Situation 'Mischaracterized'

The Libertarian National Committee has made a bold pitch to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, urging the billionaire to join their ranks and avoid the challenges of launching a new party.
What Happened: The Libertarian Party, led by Chair&nbsp;Steven Nekhaila, has reached out to Musk, proposing that he join their party instead of creating a new one,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/02/libertarian-chair-asks-elon-musk-to-join-them-00436172?cdmc=2zK7JEWyzG9KT9ldeUIHAGDJRlx&amp;refcode2=2zK7JEWyzG9KT9ldeUIHAGDJRlx&amp;refcodecdmc=2zK7JEWyzG9KT9ldeUIHAGDJRlx">reported</a>&nbsp;Politico. Nekhaila believes that the Libertarian Party is best positioned to be a disruptive force and that Musk&#8217;s financial backing could significantly advance their cause.
"Making a new third party would be a mistake," Nekhaila told the publication. 
Musk, who has previously invested over $250 million in the 2024 election, primarily through his America PAC, has not yet responded to the invitation. Meanwhile, Libertarian Party, with an annual budget of $1 million to $3 million are actively trying to reach out to him, especially given his recent support for Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who is known for his libertarian views.
Nekhaila argues that the Libertarian Party&#8217;s existing&nbsp;ballot access in almost every&nbsp;state gives them a significant advantage over new or independent parties. He points to the challenges faced by&nbsp;Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&nbsp;in securing ballot access during the 2024 election, which ultimately led to him withdrawing his name from many ballots after endorsing&nbsp;Donald Trump.
Despite Musk&#8217;s substantial political investments, Nekhaila noted that the billionaire has not seen the expected returns.

Why It Matters: Musk has recently shown interest in political involvement, expressing his intention to establish a new &#8220;America Party&#8221; following the passage of the GOP&#8217;s megabill. Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46186733/elon-musk-staging-a-political-comeback-tesla-ceo-sparks-america-party-buzz-as-he-slams-trumps-insane-spending-bill">criticized </a>President Donald Trump&#8216;s spending bill and hinted at forming the America Party if the bill passed.
Even with his immense resources, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46210411/musk-third-party-odds-hit-47-can-the-tesla-chief-do-what-no-one-has-since-1853">third-party venture </a>could still be an uphill battle for Musk. The Libertarian Party&#8217;s existing infrastructure and ballot access could provide an alternative for Musk to influence the political landscape.
The Libertarian Party is not the only group courting Musk. Dan Webb, the leader of No Labels, a political group advocating for a centrist presidential ticket, has also expressed interest in engaging with Musk, reported Politico.

Elon Musk Receives Invitation To Join Libertarian Party: 'Making A New Third Party Would Be A Mistake'

Del Monte Foods, a 138-year-old titan in canned fruits and vegetables, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 1 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, aiming to restructure its finances and pursue a sale of its assets.
What Happened: The company, known for brands like Del Monte, Contadina, and College Inn, secured $912.5 million in debtor-in-possession financing, including $165 million in new funds, to maintain operations during this process, according to a press release
The company's struggles stem from a combination of heavy debt, shifting consumer preferences, and macroeconomic pressures. 
A CNN Business <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/02/food/del-monte-foods-bankruptcy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> indicates that consumers are increasingly favoring healthier, preservative-free alternatives, reducing demand for Del Monte's core products.
While competitors adapted to trends like plant-based fresh foods and innovative packaging, Del Monte's flat sales of $2.4 billion in fiscal 2024 and a $127 million net loss reflect its failure to pivot effectively.
Greg Longstreet, the president and CEO of Del Monte Foods, said that the company &#8220;faced challenges intensified by a dynamic macroeconomic environment.&#8221; 
Additionally, the 2014 acquisition by Del Monte Pacific Limited saddled the U.S. subsidiary with over $1.2 billion in secured debt, exacerbated by rising interest rates, as <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-02/canned-food-producer-del-monte-foods-files-for-bankruptcy">noted </a>by Bloomberg. 
&#8220;This is a strategic step forward for Del Monte Foods. After a thorough evaluation of all available options, we determined a court-supervised sale process is the most effective way to accelerate our turnaround and create a stronger and enduring Del Monte Foods,&#8221; added Longstreet.

Del Monte Foods Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: Here's Why The Canned Foods Maker Struggled While Its Rivals Are Going Strong

Aebi Schmidt Holding AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEBI#NASDAQ">AEBI</a>), the Swiss manufacturer of agricultural machinery, has commenced regular trading on the Nasdaq, following its merger with the U.S.-based Shyft Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHYF#NASDAQ">SHYF</a>).
What Happened: The stock of Aebi Schmidt dropped 86.57% to $11.18 on Wednesday during the regular session, after the company started trading on the Nasdaq. The stock closed at $16.41 in after-hours trading, marking a 46.78% increase.
The company&#8217;s previous close was $83.26, with a day range of $10.10 to $33.00. The year range was $10.10 to $83.26, with an average volume of 44.00.

&nbsp;The new entity began trading on the Nasdaq on July 1, 2025.
Why It Matters: The Shyft Group and Aebi Schmidt Group completed a $2 billion merger, creating a global specialty vehicle leader. The merger was announced in June 2024 and was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/05/45405846/shyft-group-advances-merger-process-with-aebi-schmidt-as-sec-declares-registration-statement-effecti">finalized</a> in July 2025. The merger was approved by Shyft Group shareholders in June 2025, after the company received the SEC&#8217;s declaration that the registration statement was effective for the new entity to trade on the Nasdaq as &#8220;AEBI&#8221;.
The merger was a strategic move for both companies, with Shyft Group aiming to expand its global presence and Aebi Schmidt seeking to strengthen its position in the U.S. market.&nbsp;

Franklin Covey, National Beverage And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Chipmakers are likely to benefit from the &#8216;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8217; passed by the Senate on Tuesday, as they will be eligible for an investment tax credit that can incentivize the semiconductor business.
What Happened: According to the provisions of the tax cut bill proposed by President Donald Trump, the Big Beautiful Bill aims to temporarily increase an investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturers till the end of 2026.
It would raise the tax credit to 30% of investments in manufacturing facilities, from the current 25%, providing stronger incentives for companies to expand domestic production.
Trump was initially critical of the Chips and Science Act, which granted awards worth $32.5417 billion and provided loans up to $5.85 billion to 32 companies, as per the <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chip-supply-chain-investments/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>.
However, Trump set up a new entity, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44584283/days-after-calling-the-chips-act-a-horrible-thing-donald-trump-sets-up-new-entity-for-negotiating-much-better-deals-heres-more">United States Investment Accelerator</a>, within the Commerce Department, which now oversees the CHIPS Act program, as established by an executive order signed by him. 
The Big Beautiful Bill has now gone back to the House after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46211326/one-big-beautiful-bill-passes-senate-with-jd-vances-tie-breaking-vote-trump-says-its-going-to-go-very-nicely-in-the-house"> narrowly passing in the Senate</a>, before the President could finally sign it to make it into a law. 
These are the top chipmakers and the existing beneficiaries of the Chips Act that will benefit from this investment tax credit mentioned within the tax cut bill.

Why It Matters: On March 4, during his joint address to Congress, Trump said, "Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing."
He also urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to "get rid" of it and use "whatever is left over" to "reduce debt or any other reason you want to."
However, the Trump administration has skipped repealing the act with the Investment Accelerator entity and even managed to get the semiconductor firms to invest in the U.S. over and above the Chips Act this year.
In early March, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) revealed its plans to inject $100 billion into U.S. advanced semiconductor manufacturing, significantly expanding its ongoing $65 billion Arizona initiative under the Chips Act and bringing total investment to $165 billion.

Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, edged higher on Wednesday. The SPY was up 0.45% at $620.45, while the QQQ advanced 0.70% to $550.80, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Nvidia, Intel, Broadcom, Micron, AMD And Other Chipmakers Stand To Benefit As Trump's Tax Bill Increases Incentives To Make Semiconductors In US

Suhail Doshi, founder of Playground AI and analytics platform Mixpanel Inc., publicly accused an Indian software engineer of simultaneously working at multiple startups while allegedly defrauding Y Combinator portfolio companies.
What Happened: Doshi wrote on X Wednesday that Soham Parekh &#8220;works at 3-4 startups at the same time&#8221; and has been &#8220;preying on YC companies and more.&#8221; The viral post, which garnered 12.1 million views and 15,000 likes, included Parekh&#8217;s resume showing concurrent employment at DynamoAI, Union.ai, Synthesia and Alan AI.
&#8220;I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying/scamming people. He hasn&#8217;t stopped a year later,&#8221; Doshi stated. He described 90% of Parekh&#8217;s credentials as fabricated, with most professional links inactive.
The resume shows Parekh claiming a master&#8217;s degree in computer science from Georgia Institute of Technology and senior engineering roles at multiple companies simultaneously. His listed experience includes complex technical implementations across machine learning, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure.
Multiple industry professionals corroborated Doshi&#8217;s allegations in the comment thread. &#8220;He has been doing this for years and works at more than 4 startups at any given time,&#8221; wrote Nicolai Ouporov, Agent Engineer at fleet. Michelle Lim, previously head of product at Warp, confirmed canceling a work trial with Parekh after seeing the post.

Why It Matters: Doshi revealed Parekh allegedly misrepresented his location to appear U.S.-based, with one company shipping equipment to a purported sister&#8217;s address. &#8220;Gets nothing done. Made up constant lies. Corroborated by 6+ other companies,&#8221; Doshi wrote when questioned about the accusations.
The incident highlights growing concerns about employment fraud in the remote work era. Federal Trade Commission data shows job scams increased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/46009484/as-the-labor-market-gets-rockier-job-offer-scams-are-on-the-rise-duping-millennials-and-gen-zers">threefold between 2020 and 2023</a>, with reported losses reaching $470 million in text message scams alone last year.
Similar multi-employment fraud cases have emerged globally, including a Chinese woman who simultaneously held 16 positions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34395031/unprecedented-scam-woman-juggles-16-jobs-in-multimillion-dollar-fraud">generating $7 million in fraudulent wages</a>. The Department of Justice recently charged individuals connected to North Korean IT worker schemes that infiltrated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189017/us-busts-5-million-north-korean-it-scam-americans-chinese-taiwanese-among-those-arrested">over 100 U.S. companies</a>.
Following the viral exposure, Parekh reportedly contacted Doshi asking for advice on career recovery, according to Doshi&#8217;s subsequent posts.
