SKIN Stock Soars 21% in After-Hours Trading – What's Behind Beauty Health's Surge?

Fintech firm Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>) announced a significant boost to its full-year guidance despite a worse-than-expected second quarter, with CEO Jack Dorsey attributing the company's accelerated growth and product velocity to its adoption of artificial intelligence (AI).
What Happened: In the second quarter 2025 earnings call, Block raised its full-year gross profit guidance to $10.17 billion, reflecting a renewed confidence in its strategic direction.
Dorsey expressed an optimistic outlook, telling analysts, &#8220;I&#8217;ve never been more confident of our ability to do that better than I am today… I&#8217;m super excited and super bullish on our ability to chip faster, which will make every single thing about Cash App and also Square that much better and more usable.&#8221;
This bullish sentiment is a direct result of the company&#8217;s focus on faster innovation. Dorsey highlighted the success of new products like Cash App Pools, which went from &#8220;ideation to execution and shipping to customers within three months.&#8221;
He credited internal AI coding tools, such as &#8220;Goose,&#8221; for making this possible by accelerating developers and designers and enabling &#8220;experiment[s] at near zero cost.&#8221;
The company&#8217;s raised guidance reflects this momentum. Apart from gross profit guidance, the COO and CFO, Amrita Ahuja, stated that for the full year, they now &#8220;expect adjusted operating income of $2.03 billion or 20% margin, expanding margins 2 percentage points year over year.&#8221;
Also, &#8220;For Q3, we expect gross profit of $2.6 billion, growing 16% year over year. We expect adjusted operating income of $460 million or 18% margin.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Block reported earnings of 62 cents per share, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of 68 cents. Its revenue came in at $6.05 billion, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $6.24 billion and is down from revenue of $6.15 billion from the same period last year.
Price Action: XYZ stock rose 0.95% on Thursday and advanced 5.5% in after-hours. It was down 11.41% year-to-date but 25.55% higher over the past year.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that XYZ maintains a strong price trend in the long, short, and medium terms. However, the stock scores moderately on growth rankings.

Elon Musk Says On X "It doesn't make sense for Tesla to divide its resources and scale two quite different AI chip designs"

There has been a lot of misinformation circulating about my past roles at Walden International and Cadence Design Systems. I want to be absolutely clear: Over 40+ years in the industry, I've built relationships around the world and across our diverse ecosystem – and I have always operated within the highest legal and ethical standards. My reputation has been built on trust – on doing what I say I'll do, and doing it the right way. This is the same way I am leading Intel.&nbsp;
We are engaging with the Administration to address the matters that have been raised and ensure they have the facts. I fully share the President's commitment to advancing U.S. national and economic security, I appreciate his leadership to advance these priorities, and I'm proud to lead a company that is so central to these goals.&nbsp;
The Board is fully supportive of the work we are doing to transform our company, innovate for our customers, and execute with discipline – and we are making progress. It's especially exciting to see us ramping toward high-volume manufacturing using the most advanced semiconductor process technology in the country later this year. It will be a major milestone that's a testament to your work and the important role Intel plays in the U.S. technology ecosystem.&nbsp;&nbsp;

What Happened: The stock of the San Francisco-based online marketplace soared to $6.67 in extended trading hours on Thursday. This surge came after the company announced its second-quarter results, which surpassed market estimates.
The RealReal reported a revenue of $165 million, marking a 14% year-over-year increase. The gross merchandise value and total revenue for the second quarter also saw a 14% annual rise. The company&#8217;s consignment revenue grew by 14%, and direct revenue by 23% during this period.

Rati Levesque, RealReal&#8217;s CEO, commented on the results, stating, &#8220;The second quarter was a breakout performance for The RealReal, further validating the success of our strategic roadmap as strong execution fueled top-line momentum and margin expansion.&#8221;

The adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) margin for second quarter of 2025 was 4.1%, a 530 basis point increase from the previous year.
The company&#8217;s announcement of its third-quarter sales guidance of GMV between $495 million and $502 million and total revenue of $167 million to $170 million, which exceeded market estimates, indicates its strong financial performance and the company's resilience and growth potential in the luxury resale market.

President Donald Trump signed executive orders on Thursday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/08/46984531/trump-opens-401k-plans-to-crypto-cracks-down-on-crypto-banking-discrimination">allowing cryptocurrency investments in 401(k) retirement plans</a>, potentially opening $40 trillion in retirement savings to digital assets like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).

White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks announced on X that Trump signed two executive orders benefiting the crypto community. The &#8220;Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans&#8221; order prevents denial of banking services based on political beliefs or lawful business practices.
&#8220;This means unfair censorship campaigns, like the debanking of conservatives or Operation Chokepoint 2.0, can never happen again,&#8221; Sacks wrote.
The second order, &#8220;Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors,&#8221; will allow more than 90 million American workers access to the same alternative assets available to government workers.

Trump Greenlights Bitcoin In $40 Trillion 401(k)s: Peter Schiff Calls It A 'Gamble' With Retirement Savings — What Others Said

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has pulled the plug on its Dojo Supercomputer team, responsible for developing in-house AI capabilities, including self-driving chips and AI model training efforts.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Restructuring Teams, Talent Poached And A Shift To Outsource AI Development</h2>
Dojo Supercomputer's leader, Peter Bannon, will leave the company as CEO Elon Musk ordered the department to be shut down, Bloomberg reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-07/tesla-disbands-dojo-supercomputer-team-in-blow-to-ai-effort">on</a> Thursday.
The report also outlined that over 20 employees had departed Tesla to join DensityAI, a newly formed company founded by former Tesla executives, including Ganesh Venkataramanan. 
Musk, meanwhile, has ordered a reshuffling of the remaining Dojo team as they would be reassigned to other departments within Tesla, the report suggests.&nbsp;
The report also highlights that Tesla would look at companies like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) for its AI needs.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Chip Deal With Samsung, Planned Robotaxi Expansion</h2>

The deal would see the Korean giant build AI6 chips for Tesla, powering the company's next-gen self-driving systems.
Meanwhile, Tesla's plans to roll out robotaxis in multiple cities to meet Musk's target of serving over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46594297/elon-musk-aims-to-deploy-robotaxis-to-serve-half-the-us-population-by-the-end-of-2025-targets-million-optimus-units-annually-as-fast-as-its-humanly-possible">half the population of the U.S.</a> could face some challenges.
The company, despite announcing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46747282/teslas-robotaxi-is-now-live-in-the-san-francisco-bay-area-serves-a-larger-area-compared-to-waymo">ride-hailing service</a> expansion in the San Francisco Bay Area, can't operate Robotaxis in the state as it does not have a permit.

Tesla Scraps Dojo Supercomputer AI Team As Elon Musk Abandons Internal Chip Effort: Report

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Thursday she has "tough questions" for Stephen Miran after President Donald Trump announced he would nominate the White House's top economist to a short-term seat on the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors.
What Happened: Warren, a senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, criticized Miran on X as "a Trump loyalist and one of the chief architects of the President's chaotic tariff policy that has hurt Americans' wallets." She added she would press whether he would serve the public or the president.

Trump said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/08/46980852/trump-nominates-stephen-miran-fed-board-2026">he would tap Miran</a>, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, to fill the seat vacated by Fed Gov. Adriana Kugler, with the term running through Jan. 31, 2026. "In the meantime, we will continue to search for a permanent replacement," he wrote on social media Thursday.
The pick lands as Washington watches whether Trump will have an opening to name the next Fed chair after Jerome Powell's term ends in May.

Republicans quickly rallied behind Miran. Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) called him "an accomplished economist" and said he looks forward to "quickly considering his nomination" and hearing plans to increase transparency and keep the Fed focused on its mandate, "and [to] avoid politics." The Senate is in recess until September, complicating any fast confirmation.
Why It Matters: Miran, a Harvard-trained economist who advised the Treasury during Trump's first term before moving to the private sector, has criticized the Fed under Jerome Powell for cutting rates last year, arguing that "doves" too focused on the labor market have grown <a href="https://x.com/SteveMiran/status/1835994133975969970">comfortable</a> with 3% inflation instead of the 2% target. 
He warned that lowering rates from 5.3% risked embedding higher inflation across the economy and <a href="https://x.com/SteveMiran/status/1854835431138877448">said</a> on X that tolerating that would undermine U.S. institutions and Congress's mandate for "stable prices."
After the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/08/46792479/july-nonfarm-payrolls-trump-powell-labor-market">July jobs report</a> came out last Friday, Miran <a href="https://www.c-span.org/program/white-house-event/stephen-miran-speaks-with-reporters-at-white-house/663712">criticized</a> the Fed chair for not cutting benchmark interest rates, saying Trump proved correct on inflation in his first term and would again.
Warren, meanwhile, has repeatedly linked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46107536/elizabeth-warren-blames-trumps-dumb-trade-war-for-feds-grim-outlook-the-president-is-standing-in-the-way-of-lower-rates-and-lower-costs">higher consumer prices to Trump's trade policies</a> and warned that tariffs could complicate the Fed's path to lower rates.
