For many older Americans, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44678599/millions-of-americans-panic-after-receiving-erroneous-social-security-suspension-notices-due-to-system-glitch-report">Social Security</a> is more than just a monthly benefit — it's a financial lifeline. But recent government changes and comments from political leaders are making some seniors feel uneasy about the future of the program.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Concerns Sparked by Government Reorganization</h2>
At the center of this growing anxiety is a newly formed federal agency: the Department of Government Efficiency. Created through an executive order under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44697671/trump-administrations-push-to-access-social-security-data-faces-major-setback-as-court-dismisses-appeal">Trump administration</a>, DOGE has been tasked with modernizing government systems and rooting out inefficiency and fraud. But in doing so, it has made waves by cutting thousands of federal jobs and reorganizing how certain agencies function — including the Social Security Administration, which serves nearly 73 million Americans each month.

</ul>
According to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/04/politics/video/trump-social-security-doge-digvid">CNN</a>, DOGE's overhaul of the SSA has left many seniors, especially those relying solely on benefits, feeling uncertain. At a senior center in Rockland County, New York, CNN&nbsp; spoke with seniors who expressed their fear that changes could lead to interruptions in their checks.
"I need Social Security — I can't manage without it," Deanna Nichols told CNN. "When I hear one of our politicians say ‘we&#8217;re not gonna touch medicare, we&#8217;re not gonna touch medicaid or social security,' I don't believe them."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reactions to Leadership Comments</h2>
Although there have been no interruptions to benefits so far, some comments from officials have only added fuel to the fire. Commerce Secretary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44495568/those-who-scream-are-the-ones-stealing-commerce-secretary-says-only-fraudsters-will-complain-about-missed-social-security-checks">Howard Lutnick</a> recently made waves during an appearance on the "All-In Podcast."&nbsp;
Trending: 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>.
"Let's say Social Security didn't send out their checks this month," he said. "My mother-in-law, who's 94, she wouldn't call and complain. She just wouldn&#8217;t. She&#8217;d think something got messed up, and she&#8217;ll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling, and complaining."
That statement didn't sit well with many of the seniors who heard it. Milagros Velazquez, laughed and responded, "I'm a fraud. I'm a fraud cause I want what's due to me." Michael Gioeni, pointed out that many retirees live month to month and can't afford any delays.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is There Real Risk to Social Security Benefits?</h2>
So far, no actual benefit cuts have taken place, and the Trump administration has stated it does not intend to reduce Social Security. However, The Senior Citizens League, or TSCL, warns that DOGE's sweeping access to federal data systems does raise valid questions.&nbsp;
TSCL Chairman Edward Cates <a href="https://seniorsleague.org/should-you-be-worried-about-doge-and-social-security/">said</a> that DOGE, though aimed at increasing efficiency, should not have direct access to individuals' personal Social Security data without clear, legal justification.
While DOGE is not authorized to delete benefits or directly alter Social Security accounts, seniors are encouraged to stay informed and cautious. Errors or system changes — especially in a brand-new agency — can still cause problems, even unintentionally.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Seniors Can Do to Stay Protected</h2>
If you're concerned about changes to Social Security or the security of your personal data, TSCL recommends a few important steps:
<ol>
<li>Know your rights under privacy laws, such as the <a href="https://bja.ojp.gov/program/it/privacy-civil-liberties/authorities/statutes/1279#:~:text=The%20Privacy%20Act%20%E2%80%9Cprotects%20certain,%2C%20social%20security%20number)%E2%80%A6.">Privacy Act of 1974</a>.</li>
<li>Monitor your benefit statements and report anything unusual.</li>
<li>Use official websites when checking on benefits or contacting agencies.</li>
<li>Enable strong passwords and two-factor authentication on any online accounts.</li>
<li>Reach out to trusted individuals for help navigating government services.</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Need for Reassurance</h2>
Seniors who've paid into Social Security for decades want to know that what they've earned is safe. As Catherine Baris, another Rockland County senior, told CNN: "We worked for that money&#8230; You want to feel that you can pay your bills, that you can eat. These are our golden years. I don't see it."
For now, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44682363/aprils-social-security-changes-how-new-rules-could-affect-your-check">Social Security checks</a> are still arriving on time, the broader conversation about how federal efficiency efforts may impact essential programs is far from over.

<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind Microchip Technology</h2>
Microchip Technology became an independent company in 1989 when it was spun off from General Instrument. More than half of revenue comes from MCUs, which are used in a wide array of electronic devices from remote controls to garage door openers to power windows in autos. The company's strength lies in lower-end 8-bit MCUs that are suitable for a wider range of less technologically advanced devices, but the firm has expanded its presence in higher-end MCUs and analog chips as well.
<h3>Microchip Technology's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company exhibits a lower market capitalization profile, positioning itself below industry averages. This suggests a smaller scale relative to peers.
Decline in Revenue: Over the 3M period, Microchip Technology faced challenges, resulting in a decline of approximately -41.89% in revenue growth as of 31 December, 2024. This signifies a reduction in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Information Technology sector.
Net Margin: Microchip Technology's net margin falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in achieving strong profitability. With a net margin of -5.22%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): The company's ROE is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently using equity capital. With an ROE of -0.87%, the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns for shareholders.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of -0.34%, the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Microchip Technology's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 1.12. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>

Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings.

Analyst Expectations For Federated Hermes's Future

In the current market session, Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDW#NYSE">TDW</a>) price is at $35.34, after a 4.93% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 12.55%, and in the past year, by 62.26%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744408820_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Tidewater P/E Compared to Competitors</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 the 16.87 in the Energy Equipment &amp; Services industry, Tidewater Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.91. 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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744408820_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
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.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday approved a new option for patients to self-inject Argenx SE&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGX#NASDAQ">ARGX</a>) Vyvgart Hytrulo with a prefilled syringe (efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) for adult patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive and adult patients with chronic inflammatory <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)</a>.
Vyvgart Hytrulo prefilled syringe for self-injection is approved as a 20-to-30-second subcutaneous injection administered by a patient, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44752621/argenx-announces-fda-approval-of-vyvgart-hytrulo-prefilled-syringe-for-self-injection-in-generaliz" rel="noreferrer noopener">caregiver, or healthcare professional</a>.
The single-dose prefilled subcutaneous injection was developed as part of argenx&#8217;s exclusive partnership with Halozyme Therapeutics Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HALO#NASDAQ">HALO</a>) Enhanze drug delivery technology, enabling rapid, high-volume biologics delivery.

The approval of the Vyvgart Hytrulo prefilled syringe for self-injection is supported by data from studies evaluating its bioequivalence&nbsp;to Vyvgart Hytrulo in a vial.
In addition, human factors validation studies demonstrated that participants with gMG or CIDP, or their caregivers, safely and successfully prepared and administered Vyvgart Hytrulo with the prefilled syringe. Previous FDA approval of Vyvgart Hytrulo for patients with gMG and CIDP was based on the global Phase 3 ADAPT, ADAPT-SC, and ADHERE trials.
William Blair writes the self-administration option will be a strong growth driver for the Vyvgart franchise in both MG and CIDP, enabling patients to have a high degree of flexibility and expanding the total addressable market.
The analyst writes that some patients could increase the frequency of dosing, given the convenience of self-administration, to achieve more continuous symptom relief, as reflected by the every-2-to-3-weeks dosing evaluated in the ADAPT-NXT trial. This could be another growth driver for the prefilled syringe.
&#8220;While other options for CIDP and MG are in development, including trials for prefilled syringe formulations, we believe Argenx's first-to-market advantage adds to its large competitive moat in both indications,&#8221; analyst Myles Minter wrote.
William Blair maintains Argenx <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ARGX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with an Outperform rating</a>.
Price Action: ARGX stock closed higher by 6.36% to $580.97on Friday.

FDA Approves Argenx's Vyvgart Hytrulo Prefilled Syringe For Self-Injection For At Home Use Setting

Truist Securities analyst Scot Ciccarelli reiterated a Hold rating on the shares of Carmax Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMX#NYSE">KMX</a>) with a price forecast of $88.00.
CarMax delivered <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44733776/carmax-accelerates-with-6-growth-in-used-car-sales-despite-earnings-miss" rel="noreferrer noopener">strong fourth-quarter results</a>, with used vehicle same-store sales rising 5.1%, slightly below expectations but showing notable improvement from the prior quarter.
Average selling prices remained steady year over year, and unit volume aligned with projections. Adjusted earnings per share were estimated at $0.64, slightly above the expected $0.62.
The company reaffirmed its long-term targets but removed the specific timelines due to economic uncertainty. Tariffs are expected to have mixed effects on the business, said the analyst.
As a result, tariffs may boost used car demand due to pricier new cars, but they could also potentially price out some consumers.

RBC Capital analyst Steven Shemesh maintained an Outperform rating on the shares and lowered the price forecast from $103 to $80.
CarMax outlined several encouraging developments. First-quarter same-store sales are trending in the high-single-digit range, with momentum building from February into March and April.
The company continues to improve operating efficiency, leveraging SG&amp;A expenses by 770 basis points year over year to roughly 91% of gross profit.
Market share stabilized year over year, with gains in the second half of FY2025, particularly in the 0–4-year vehicle segment, said the analyst.
CarMax expects its loan loss provisions to rise 40%–50% in first-quarter, hitting around $68 million, due to seasonal factors and a shift back to retaining more subprime loan volume.
Management views this quarter as the likely peak, with future quarters remaining at the higher end of the $70–$105 million range, assuming stable lending conditions.
The company also broadened its definition of "omnichannel sales," now covering more customer interactions, raising the metric to 67% of retail sales.
Lastly, CarMax aims to increase CarMax Auto Finance penetration by 100–150 basis points by reclaiming previously outsourced loan originations.
Price Action: KMX shares closed higher by 2.87% at $68.36 at last check Friday.
