Fed's Barkin Says  People Are Pulling Back On Air Travel, But Not On Everyday Spend; If We See Higher Inflation And Higher Unemployment, Fed Would Handle Response With Judgement

Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday after the company announced it achieved $1.5 billion in sales on the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44700004/palo-alto-networks-surpasses-1-5-billion-in-sales-on-google-cloud-marketplace" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google Cloud Marketplace.</a>
What Happened: Palo Alto announced it crossed $1.5 billion&nbsp;in cumulative sales through Alphabet Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google&nbsp;Cloud Marketplace as of&nbsp;April. The cybersecurity company said the sales milestone highlights its commitment to helping organizations use artificial intelligence to more securely accelerate cloud and AI adoption.
Palo Alto said it was recognized with five 2025 Google Cloud Partner of the Year awards spanning AI technology, AI security, security infrastructure protection, security marketplace solutions and technology marketplace solutions.
"With Google Cloud, we combine their AI/ML capabilities with Palo Alto Networks industry-leading security platforms to provide a comprehensive suite of AI-driven security offerings," said&nbsp;Kristy Friedrichs, chief partnerships officer at Palo Alto Networks.&nbsp;
"This deep collaboration helps customers achieve their AI and digital innovation objectives while mitigating associated risks. Surpassing&nbsp;$1.5 billion&nbsp;in sales on Google Cloud Marketplace signifies the demand for innovative security solutions as organizations prioritize cloud-first strategies."
Palo Alto shares popped in after-hours trading Tuesday following the announcement and have continued to move higher on Wednesday. Other cybersecurity stocks are also trading higher, including CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), which announced an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44714737/crowdstrike-deepens-partnership-with-google">expanded partnership</a> with Google Cloud. Shares of Zscaler, Fortinet and SentinelOne were also rising at last check.

The analyst indicated that cybersecurity stocks stand to benefit from a rotation from semiconductors to software as investors &#8220;hunker down during this Category 5 storm.&#8221;
PANW Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/panw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Palo Alto shares</a> were up 2.29% at $156.02 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palo Alto Networks Leads Cybersecurity Stocks Higher: What's Going On?

Editor's Note: This article was corrected to remove an inaccurate statement regarding Mullen Automotive.
Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street reeled this week as President Donald Trump's new global tariffs and hawkish Fed signals rattled investors. The tariffs triggered broad selloffs, dragging the S&amp;P 500 to its worst weekly loss since the pandemic's onset in 2020.
Stocks tumbled Thursday and Friday, with tech and consumer names especially hard-hit, as traders braced for higher costs and retaliatory trade risks. Concerns mounted over how renewed trade tensions could disrupt supply chains and weigh on corporate margins.
At the same time, Federal Reserve officials signaled fewer rate cuts ahead, compounding fears and sending bond yields higher, further pressuring equities across sectors.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) owned NBCUniversal on Tuesday announced it is heading to Europe with plans to open its first-ever theme park and resort on the continent, marking a major expansion of its entertainment footprint.
The new complex will be located just south of Bedford in the United Kingdom, roughly 35 minutes <a target="_blank" href="https://corporate.comcast.com/press/releases/comcast-nbcuniversal-announces-intent-universal-theme-park-and-resort-united-kingdom" rel="noreferrer noopener">by train</a> from London.
The ambitious project is being developed by the Universal Destinations &amp; Experiences division. The resort will include a full-scale theme park with multiple immersive worlds, a 500-room hotel, and a dedicated retail and dining area.

Comcast purchased the 476-acre property in Bedford in 2023. The area has strong transportation connections, allowing more than 80% of England's residents and around half of the entire U.K. population to reach it within two hours.
"The unparalleled storytelling and technological innovation that the incredible team at Universal Destinations &amp; Experiences brings to life is a perfect complement to the British creative arts and tourism industries," said President of Comcast, Mike Cavanagh.
The strategic location near mainland Europe is also anticipated to attract significant tourist traffic, positioning it as a likely contender for one of the most visited destinations in the area.
The proposed U.K. development is still in its preliminary phase and depends on securing planning permission from government authorities.
A detailed application is set to be filed in the next few months, with construction likely to commence in 2026 if approved. This move comes after over a year of research, including feasibility assessments and market evaluations.
"Expanding into Europe presents us with a significant opportunity to reach new fans and share the incredible experiences our team creates," said Chairman and CEO of Universal Destinations &amp; Experiences, Mark Woodbury.
As Universal looks to broaden its global presence, it is simultaneously growing its footprint within the United States. Over the next two years, the company intends to launch three new theme parks across the country.
Leading the lineup is Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida, set to debut this May. Touted as the company's most innovative development to date, the park has already generated $11 billion in nationwide economic impact and supported the creation of tens of thousands of jobs.
Next on the calendar is Universal Horror Unleashed, a horror-focused attraction set to launch in Las Vegas in late 2025. That will be followed by Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, in 2026, the company's first park tailored specifically for families with young children.
Price Action: CMCSA shares traded higher by 0.33% at $32.95 at the last check on Wednesday.

Live On CNBC, Bryn Talkington Announces Bought RH

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon warned Wednesday that escalating U.S.-China trade tensions have significantly increased the risk of a recession after President Donald Trump's tariff policies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44710975/wall-streets-american-exceptionalism-trade-falters-as-dollar-stocks-bonds-all-slide">destabilized financial markets. </a>
The Details: During a Fox Business interview, Dimon attributed the growing recession risk to the cascading effects of Trump's trade policies and China's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708618/china-retaliates-with-massive-84-tariff-hike-on-us-goods-amid-escalating-trade-war"> retaliatory tariffs</a>. 
JPMorgan economists recently raised their recession probability to 60% and anticipate a 0.3% GDP contraction this year.

When asked if he expects a recession, Dimon replied, "I think that's a likely outcome."&nbsp;
"A 2,000-point Dow decline creates a self-reinforcing cycle – people see losses in retirement accounts and pensions, leading to spending cuts," he said.&nbsp;
The 69-year-old CEO noted that markets are "pricing in uncertainty at both macro and company level." Bond yields are spiking, and initial public offerings, mergers, and acquisitions are stalling amid the volatility. 
Though Dimon acknowledged that markets don't always predict accurately, he said, "This time they're right in pricing macro/micro-level uncertainties and consumer sentiment impacts." He also expects "more credit challenges than people have seen in a long time" due to sticky inflation and widening credit spreads. 
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) is on the edge of a bear market. It&#8217;s down nearly 20% from its recent peak. 
Bond prices are also falling sharply. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NYSE">TLT</a>) is down more than 5% over the past five days. 
"Take a deep breath, negotiate some trade deals,&#8221; Dimon urged the Trump administration. &#8220;It could get worse if we don't make progress.&#8221;
It&#8217;s worth noting that Dimon isn't always spot-on with his predictions. In late 2022, he warned that an <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29208975/jamie-dimon-warns-of-u-s-recession-in-6-9-months-says-jp-morgan-preparing-for-economic-hurricane" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">economic "hurricane"</a> was coming in mid-2023. It never happened, and Dimon walked back those comments.
"I shouldn&#8217;t ever use the word hurricane, but … there were storm clouds," Dimon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30358567/i-shouldnt-ever-use-the-word-hurricane-jamie-dimon-says-storm-clouds-remain-but-the-consumer-is-roll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a 2023 interview.
And in an interview with CNBC last year, Dimon said, &#8220;We would be okay&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40241448/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-skeptical-of-feds-ability-to-achieve-2-inflation-target-estimates-35-to-40">in a recession</a>.

When <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42850946/planning-your-retirement-new-changes-to-social-security-in-2025-could-affect-you">planning for retirement</a>, many couples assume that if one spouse passes away, the surviving partner will only need about half of their household income to get by. But personal finance expert Suze Orman says that assumption is a major mistake — and it can lead to serious financial trouble later in life.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Common Misconception About Post-Retirement Needs</h2>
Orman tackled this issue on a recent episode of her "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-can-i-start-a-roth-for-my-3-year-old">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast. Responding to a listener named Nisha, who was weighing the choice between a lump-sum payout or a monthly annuity with a 50% survivor benefit, Orman took a moment to address this misconception.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.55 per share now</a>.</li>
<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
"The big mistake that all of you make is that you really think that upon your death, that your spouse will need 50% less than what they were getting when you were alive," Orman said. "And I can tell you, over all the years I've been doing this, that is not true."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why 50% May Not Be Enough</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44459879/suze-orman-warns-the-absolute-worst-thing-that-you-can-be-doing-right-now-is-panic-because-it-hu">Orman</a> pointed out that the loss of a spouse often comes with a significant drop in income. In Nisha's case, the monthly annuity she was considering would provide $3,300 while both spouses were alive — but just $1,650 for her spouse if she passed away.
And that's not the only income cut a surviving spouse might face. If both partners are receiving Social Security, one of those checks will disappear when a spouse dies. The remaining partner will keep the higher of the two amounts, but the lower benefit is lost permanently.
Add to that the emotional impact of losing a spouse — what Orman calls the "loneliness factor" — and expenses don't necessarily go down.
"You go to visit your kids more, you go out to eat more, you&#8217;re just lonely," she explained. "So you have to take that into consideration now."
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">Annuity or Lump Sum? It Depends</h2>
Nisha had the option of taking a $500,000 lump sum or choosing the monthly $3,300 annuity. On paper, that annuity offers a strong return — about 7.9% annually while both spouses are alive, and about 3.96% after one passes away. But there's a tradeoff: if both spouses die shortly after retirement, none of the money goes to heirs.&nbsp;
Nisha didn't state if she and her spouse have children, but it's another factor to consider in these circumstances. That's why Orman encourages people to weigh not just the financial numbers, but also their family situation. "Do you have kids? Do you not? Will your spouse be OK on $1,650 per month?"
These are all questions that can influence whether the guaranteed income of an annuity is worth the tradeoff in flexibility and inheritance options.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Planning With Realistic Expectations</h2>
The takeaway from Orman's message is clear: don't assume that a surviving spouse can live comfortably on half the household's income. Between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44657139/suze-orman-says-stop-collecting-social-security-early-because-you-could-be-sabotaging-your-financial-future">lower Social Security benefits</a>, reduced pensions, and increased lifestyle spending due to loneliness or health needs, the surviving spouse could need nearly as much — or even more — than when both partners were alive.
Before making retirement income decisions, consider the full financial picture. And when in doubt, speak with a qualified <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> who can help tailor a plan to your specific needs.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday after announcing a strategic partnership <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44709530/lumen-partners-with-google-cloud-to-deliver-next-generation-network-infrastructure-for-the-ai-era" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44709530/lumen-partners-with-google-cloud-to-deliver-next-generation-network-infrastructure-for-the-ai-era" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44709530/lumen-partners-with-google-cloud-to-deliver-next-generation-network-infrastructure-for-the-ai-era" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(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 Cloud.</a>
The collaboration was unveiled at the Next 25 event and is geared toward bolstering cloud and network capabilities in the era of artificial intelligence.
The effort aims to accelerate digital transformation as companies adopt AI-powered solutions at scale, per a press release.
A cornerstone of this alliance includes integrating Google&#8217;s newly launched Cloud WAN with Lumen&#8217;s connectivity services.
This integration allows Lumen&#8217;s Network-as-a-Service platform — including managed SD-WAN and security features—to operate within Google Cloud regions, modernizing enterprise networking capabilities.
The companies will also enable ultra-fast 400 Gbps direct fiber links between Google Cloud data centers and customer sites.

This move will broaden Google Cloud access across more than 50,000 Lumen-connected locations, significantly increasing network reach and speed.
Further, Lumen plans to link its encrypted, high-security network infrastructure to Google Distributed Cloud&#8217;s air-gapped deployments.
This initiative aims to protect sensitive data for clients in heavily regulated sectors like finance, government, and critical infrastructure.
&#8220;Networks are the foundation of the AI revolution,&#8221; said Dave Ward, Lumen&#8217;s chief technology and product officer.
He added that the fusion of Lumen&#8217;s secure network with Google&#8217;s global infrastructure gives businesses the tools to manage data faster, more securely, and with greater flexibility for AI and cloud applications.
