JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon issued a stark message to European leaders this week: the continent is steadily falling behind the United States, and financial markets now expose just how wide <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone">the gap has become.</a>
At a conference in Dublin organized by Ireland's foreign ministry, Dimon warned that Europe is slipping in the global economic race. Over the past 10 to 15 years, he noted, the region's share of global output has dropped sharply compared to the U.S.
"Europe has gone from 90% U.S. GDP to 65% over 10 or 15 years. That's not good. You're losing," Dimon said.
He pointed to sluggish growth, outdated regulation, and insufficient investment as key reasons why the EU is falling behind both the U.S. and China.
While Dimon's focus was on economic differences in terms of GDP, the numbers coming out of stock markets reveal an even deeper structural divide between the U.S. and Europe.

The gap is staggering. The U.S. tech giants are now worth over nine times as much as Europe's largest companies.

"We've got this huge, strong market and our companies are big and successful, have huge kinds of scale that are global. You have that, but less and less," he said.
Dimon's comments add to growing concern across the continent. Last year, former European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi called for €800 billion per year in industrial investment to help Europe remain globally competitive.
Yet, despite repeated calls for reform, European stock markets continue to lag behind as U.S. firms dominate in scale, innovation and investor interest.

The One Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB) is now the law of the land, with President Trump taking a victory lap after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46263434/trump-signs-sweeping-tax-and-spending-bill-that-cbo-says-will-add-3-3-trillion-to-us-deficit-cut-health-coverage-for-11-8-million-americans">signing the legislation into law</a> on July 4, 2025.
The new tax and regulatory policy in the bill is already sending huge ripples across the markets. Some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46368613/3-stocks-to-sell-now-that-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-is-law">sectors are falling</a>, as they&#8217;ve now lost the federal government&#8217;s favor.
New, significant tax benefits to long-term holders of stock in small businesses and startups are already changing investor behavior.
And, of course, a big new budget bill means plenty of big new winning stocks.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 OBBB Stocks That May Already Be Striking Lightning </h2>
Drilling down into individual stocks that are expected to benefit from the new OBBB legislation involves examining industries favored by the legislation, such as semiconductors, manufacturing, and materials. Here are a few key sector stocks that are expected to benefit from the bill.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Intel Corp.</h3>
This rationale could apply to any chip manufacturer that&#8217;s playing nice with Uncle Sam, but semiconductors are an obvious favorite coming out of the new budget bill.
"The main benefit for semiconductor manufacturing in the OBBBA is a substantial increase in the tax credit for companies who break ground on new chip fabs before the end of 2026 &#8211; an increase from 25% to 35%," said Michael Bergines, wealth advisor at Prospero Wealth, in San Francisco, Cal. "This tax credit is uncapped and will be grandfathered in for all spending on projects begun in 2025."
The tax credit will primarily benefit companies that have already committed to US-based manufacturing, and this includes not only Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) but also Micron (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>). 
Intel stands out as its shares have already risen 18% year-to-date and up 15.6% in the past month. That's significantly ahead of the computer and technology sector&#8217;s gain of 6.2% and the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s gain of 4.4%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lam Research</h3>
The OBBB also includes major funding for the artificial intelligence sector as the federal government continues to seek AI partners that expand American technology influence across the globe.
The legislation should boost U.S. semiconductor companies, such as Fremont, California-based Lam Research (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>), which designs and manufactures semiconductor processing equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. Bergines said the bill should "continue to help" semiconductor equipment companies like Lam, Applied Materials (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), and KLA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>).
LCRX shares are up 39.9% so far in 2025, but should go higher with the budgetary winds at its back. Toshiya Hari, a Goldman Sachs tech analyst, launched coverage on Lam Research with a Buy on the stock and a target price of $115. It's trading at $101 as of July 10.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">MP Material</h3>
At first glance, you may not think the OBBA applies to a company that engages in the production of rare earth specialty materials to the US military, and to billions of dollars of associated budget funding, but that's where MP Materials (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) finds itself right now.
The Las Vegas-based materials company saw its share price bounce by 50% on July 10 after rolling out a multibillion-dollar public-private partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense to &#8220;dramatically accelerate the build-out of an end-to-end U.S. rare earth magnet supply chain and reduce foreign dependency.&#8221;
"We saw MP Material jump to a new high on news from the Pentagon," said Stephen Herbert Akin, founder at Akin Investments in Charleston, S.C. "The stock appears on our proprietary stock screener on June 9, 2025, at $25.51 per share. In less than a week, the stock traded up to $40, and yesterday it hit $48.01."
George Gianarikas, a Canaccord analyst, doubled his MP price target from $27 to $55 while maintaining a buy rating on the stock on Friday, July 11.

With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) trading in price discovery and institutional capital pouring into crypto markets, the long-anticipated "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/07/46267392/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-gain-as-trump-tariffs-deadline-delayed-massive-altcoin-season-in-the-works-says-this-analyst">altseason</a>" may finally be underway.
But industry insiders say the biggest gains may not come from Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) or XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>): instead, it's lesser-known tokens like Alpaca Network's PACA or Telegram-linked (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TON</a>) that could emerge as breakout performers.
"We&#8217;re in the early stages of what will likely be one of the most historic altseasons we've ever seen," said Michael Gord, CEO of GDA Capital. "Liquidity is re-entering the system… capital is already rotating into ETH and high-beta Layer 1s."
Among those Layer 1s, Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) is gaining momentum as both experts highlighted it as the fastest horse for the next six months. 
"Solana is moving with the agility of a Web2 product and the scalability of a next-gen chain," Gord noted, citing its rapid ecosystem growth across NFTs, DeFi, and gaming.
Thomas Kralow, chairman of Evedex, echoed that view, adding, "If meme coins and NFT volume resurge, SOL could outpace ETH short-term… its ecosystem's retail-driven momentum often outperforms in altseasons."
Still, the real opportunities may lie in less obvious names.

Gord named Alpaca Network's PACA as one of the most promising plays in the decentralized AI infrastructure space.
"Through the launch of Modelz.ai, they're tokenizing AI models themselves… transforming AI into a liquid, composable asset class," he said.
He also pointed to Flashy Finance, which combines gaming, social, and DeFi functions, a new category he calls CultureFi. 
"The next wave is about culture as capital," Gord emphasized.
Meanwhile, Kralow suggested The Open Network, backed by Telegram's massive user base, could quietly climb the ranks. 
"It's gaining traction in payments and bots… developer activity is rising," he said. He also mentioned high-performance chains like SEI (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">SEI</a>) and SUI (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">SUI</a>), which are building strong DeFi and NFT foundations.
Not everyone agrees on the winners, but there's more consensus on who could disappoint.
"ETH might underwhelm relative to expectations," said Gord, pointing to scalability bottlenecks and rising competition. Kralow added that XRP could struggle if legal clarity fails to translate into ecosystem growth.
As for what defines this altseason? Gord said: "This bull run and altseason is going to be the cultural onboarding of Web3 into the global financial narrative."

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Gulfport Energy Corporation&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPOR#NYSE">GPOR</a>) stock is climbing on Friday, up nearly 5%, as investors anticipate strong second-quarter earnings, driven by a strategic reevaluation of its capital spending plans.
The company is notably reallocating resources towards dry gas development in the latter half of the year, including adding a four-well dry gas Utica pad, while adjusting its wet gas Marcellus pad schedule. 
This proactive approach and current capital efficiency trends could allow Gulfport to accelerate completions if natural gas market conditions remain favorable, potentially leading to low single-digit growth in 2026 and a departure from its current maintenance strategy.

This pivot has been met with a positive outlook from JP Morgan. Zach Parham, an analyst at JP Morgan, reiterated the Overweight rating on Gulfport Energy, raising the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GPOR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from $208 to $236</a>.
Parham anticipates a robust second quarter from Gulfport Energy, highlighting the company&#8217;s decision in the first quarter to reallocate some of its capital spending toward dry gas development in the latter half of the year. This includes adding a four-well dry gas Utica pad while postponing a four-well wet gas Marcellus pad.
Should the broader gas market remain favorable, Gulfport could accelerate some completions into the fourth quarter. Given current trends in capital efficiency, the company may be able to accommodate this additional activity without revising its existing capital expenditure guidance, as Parham writes.
With a growing emphasis on dry gas, there&#8217;s a chance Gulfport could transition to low single-digit growth in 2026, moving away from its current maintenance plan. Parham sees this as a positive development in light of a supportive 2026 outlook for natural gas.
After adjusting for market conditions in the second quarter, Parham estimates cash flow per share (CFPS) at $11.07, slightly ahead of the Street estimate of $10.77. EBITDA is forecasted at $208 million, modestly below the consensus of $223 million.
Estimated production of 1,037 MMcfe/d represents a 12% sequential increase and aligns with Street expectations, while oil output is pegged at 8.1 MBo/d, well ahead of the 7.0 MBo/d consensus.
Gulfport Energy&#8217;s second quarter natural gas realization is projected at $3.00 per Mcf before hedging, implying a $0.44 discount to NYMEX. Capital expenditures for the quarter are expected to land at $124 million, slightly exceeding consensus.
Parham forecasts $65 million in free cash flow, with $58 million allocated to share buybacks. This apart, the analyst anticipates an update on land acquisitions during the second-quarter earnings call, likely consistent with previous years&#8217; spending of around $45 to $50 million.
Price Action: GPOR shares are trading higher by 4.52% to $183.89&nbsp;at last check Friday.
