BigBear.Ai, Rigetti Computing, Datadog, Oracle, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

With Zohran Mamdani officially securing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46087359/zohran-mamdani-leads-nyc-mayoral-primary-andrew-cuomo-concedes-race">Democratic nomination</a> in the New York City mayoral race, centrist figures within the Democratic party, such as former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, are raising questions on the city&#8217;s future under a self-described Democratic Socialist.
What Happened: Appearing on The Master Investor podcast on Wednesday, Lew, who served in the Obama and Clinton administrations and was most recently U.S. ambassador to Israel under President Joe Biden, offered a sharp rebuke on Mamdani's policy platform.
He says, &#8220;I worry deeply,&#8221; calling New York City his home, where he&#8217;s spent most of his life, while adding that the policies outlined by Mamdani are not good for the city.

Open Their Wallets To Take Down Zohran Mamdani</a>
Lew suggests that he views Mamdani&#8217;s policies as impractical, drawing parallels between both far-left and far-right proposals. He says, populist policies from either side often skip a critical test, &#8220;[They] don't always go through the filter of, do they work? I don't think they work.&#8221;
He also noted that New York's mayoral powers are constrained. &#8220;New York is not an entirely independent governing entity. Many of the policies have to be approved by the state legislature or governor,&#8221; Lew said, suggesting that institutional checks may blunt the impact of any sweeping ideological shift.
Why It Matters: Last week, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman echoed similar views, expressing &#8220;grave concern&#8221; on Mamdani&#8217;s victory. 
The CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management warned that Mamdani, an &#8220;avowed socialist,&#8221; would be &#8220;disastrous for NYC,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46108561/bill-ackman-rips-chuck-schumer-over-zohran-mamdani-praise-calls-it-pathetic-warns-nyc-risks-10-billion-in-lost-wealth">triggering an exodus</a> of wealthy taxpayers, resulting in a $5 billion to $10 billion drop in the city&#8217;s revenues from the financial services industry alone.

Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange&nbsp;Gemini, commented on Mamdani&#8217;s victory last week, saying, &#8220;It appears things will have to get worse in NYC before they get better,&#8221; adding that sometimes the only way to learn something &#8220;is to learn it the hard way.&#8221;
&#8220;It's what the people of NYC have been asking for for years and it looks like it's what they are about to get. Trying to fight against this tide seems like throwing good money after bad,&#8221; he says, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46108180/no-point-fighting-against-the-tide-by-opposing-zohran-mamdani-says-gemini-co-founder-cameron-winklevoss-things-will-have-to-get-worse-in-nyc-before-they-get-better">expressing his reluctance</a> to support a candidate against Mamdani.

Ex-Obama Treasury Secretary Jack Lew Sounds Alarm On NYC Under Zohran Mamdani: 'I Worry Deeply'

Robinhood Markets Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) CEO Vlad Tenev clarified the nature of the company&#8217;s OpenAI token giveaway on Wednesday amid growing controversy about the nature of the equities.
What Happened:&nbsp;In an X post, Tenev talked about Robinhood&#8217;s recent crypto event, where it&nbsp;announced a limited &#8220;stock token&#8221;&nbsp;giveaway on OpenAI and SpaceX&nbsp;for eligible European customers. 
&#8220;While it is true that&nbsp;they aren't technically &#8216;equity&#8217;&#8230;&nbsp;the tokens effectively give retail&nbsp;investors exposure to these private&nbsp;assets,&#8221; Tenev stated.
He further added that the giveaway is a precursor to &#8220;something much bigger&#8221; and that many private companies have expressed interest in joining the &#8220;tokenization revolution&#8221; since the announcement.

Vlad Tenev Says OpenAI, SpaceX Tokens Not 'Technically' Equity After ChatGPT Parent Questions Giveaway, Robinhood CEO Calls It 'Seed' For Something Bigger

Podcast host Joe Rogan once told political commentator Matt Walsh that after the COVID-19 pandemic, he started questioning his long-held beliefs, including whether the U.S. actually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28410774/elon-musk-says-moon-landings-were-a-fluke-which-reached-into-the-future-3">landed on the moon</a>.
What Happened: "I used to believe in the moon landing," Rogan said. "After COVID, I'm like, I don't think we went to the moon." However, he added, "There is a less than zero possibility that we did not go."
Walsh responded, noting that the scale of deception needed to fake the Apollo missions would be immense. "It&#8217;s a lot more incredible to believe that we faked it than to believe that we just went .. to the moon."
The political commentator went on and said that pulling this off would require all of these American institutions to collude, while foreign adversaries like Russia would have to stay silent about it. "Why haven't the Russians come out and say all?"

Rogan, while not fully endorsing conspiracy theories, pointed to several lingering doubts. He cited the dangers of passing through the Van Allen radiation belts, the lack of any non-human biological organism surviving deep space and the fact that no other nation has replicated the feat.&nbsp;
Rogan remarked that it was strange that it had never been done again and found it odd that all the original footage was erased. He also referenced a post-flight press conference by the Apollo 11 crew, saying, "It looks like a hostage video."
Walsh acknowledged the strangeness of some elements but maintained there's "no evidence of a hoax," while there is at least some evidence of the moon landing — from moon rocks to laser reflectors and high-resolution lunar imagery.

Between 1969 and 1972, six missions successfully landed astronauts on the lunar surface, beginning with Apollo 11 and Neil Armstrong's famous first steps.
Humans last <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34002750/india-makes-history-with-flawless-moon-landing-brightens-path-for-us-artemis-lunar-mission">walked on the Moon</a> during Apollo 17 in 1972 and no missions have sent a crew beyond low-Earth orbit since then.
Previously, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk described the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing as an "anomalous situation," saying it was like pulling future technology forward because it didn't follow the natural pace of technological progress. He noted the mission happened because the U.S. was determined to win the space race with the Soviet Union.

Joe Rogan Once Said He Started Doubting The Apollo Missions After COVID-19, Compared Post-Flight Press Conference To A 'Hostage Video'

President Donald Trump has publicly demanded the resignation of&nbsp;Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This call comes in the wake of accusations from the&nbsp;Federal Housing Finance Agency Director, alleging that Powell provided misleading testimony.
What Happened: Trump voiced his demand for Powell&#8217;s resignation on Wednesday via a post on Truth Social, first <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5382677-trump-calls-powell-resignation/">noted</a> on The Hill.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="601" height="226" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/02202041/Screenshot-2025-07-03-at-9.20.23.png" alt="" class="wp-image-971172" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/02202041/Screenshot-2025-07-03-at-9.20.23.png 601w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/02202041/Screenshot-2025-07-03-at-9.20.23-300x113.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px" /></figure>
Screenshot from Donald Trump&#8217;s Truth Social Account
The call for resignation followed accusations from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, a critic of Powell, who claimed that Powell had provided false information during a Senate Banking Committee testimony.
Pulte alleges that Powell lied about the specifics of renovations at the Federal Reserve&#8217;s Washington, D.C. headquarters, particularly a supposed $2.5 billion renovation plan. Powell had previously stated that extravagant features&nbsp;were part of older plans&nbsp;and have since been discarded, while other costs, such as elevator repairs and marble fixtures, were for basic maintenance.

Pulte argued that Powell&#8217;s &#8220;deceptive&#8221; testimony was grounds for dismissal. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio),&nbsp;chair of the House Judiciary&nbsp;Committee, confirmed that lawmakers will consider calls to investigate Powell, according to the report.
Trump, who appointed Powell in 2017, has been critical of the Federal Reserve Chair for some time, even giving him the nickname &#8220;Too Late&#8221; in response to the Fed&#8217;s decision to maintain steady interest rates.
Why It Matters: This is not the first time Trump has criticized Powell. Last month, Trump accused Powell of keeping interest rates &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46165110/donald-trump-calls-fed-chair-jerome-powell-a-bad-person-who-keeps-rates-artificially-high-says-benchmark-should-drop-by-half">artificially high</a>.&#8221;
On Wednesday, Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, suggested that Trump&#8217;s criticism of Powell was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213361/trump-is-slamming-jerome-powell-because-he-wants-a-weaker-dollar-says-ed-yardeni-pounding-powell-pounding-the-dollar">strategic move</a> to weaken the U.S. dollar. 
Earlier, Powell indicated&nbsp;that Trump&#8217;s tariff strategy had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46213909/jerome-powell-says-trumps-tariffs-deterred-fed-from-easing-monetary-policy-july-decision-to-depend-on-data-wouldnt-take-any-meeting-off-the-table">deterred the Federal Reserve</a> from implementing a more lenient monetary policy.

Carnival CEO Josh Weinstein <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/cruise-giants-building-own-private-paradise-islands-jaw-dropping-features">told</a> Fox Business on June 24 that Celebration Key was &#8220;already one of the most searched-out cruise destinations on Google&#8221; ahead of its debut.
"We've built five portals all over this destination so that we can accommodate different needs for different guests,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have a family zone, we have an adult zone, we have a private beach club and more,&#8221; Weinstein said.&nbsp;
Carnival also has plans to renovate its Relax Away, Half Moon Cay private island and expansions are planned for its Mahogany Bay destination in Honduras next year.  
The CEO told analysts on the company's most recent earnings call that Carnival sees incremental and targeted investments in its collection of private locations as an opportunity to take market share from "land-based alternatives."
What Else: Carnival's stock has gained 25% over the past month, driven in part by its better-than-expected<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46076919/carnival-sails-past-q2-estimates-raises-full-year-outlook-on-strong-demand"> earnings report</a> released last week.&nbsp;

Carnival's Wild New Private Resort Makes Waves With Huge Swim-Up Bar, Giant Sandcastle

E-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45820714/amazon-eyes-7-billion-in-savings-by-2032-with-robots-and-ai-powering-delivery-and-fulfillment-analyst"> invested in robots </a>over the years to help make its warehouses and facilities more efficient. The company is celebrating a robotics milestone alongside a new generative AI model.
What Happened: Amazon recently celebrated its one millionth robot in operations, a significant new milestone hit since 750,000<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38202793/amazon-grows-to-over-750-000-robots-as-worlds-second-largest-private-employer-replaces-over-100-000"> in early 2024.</a>
Along with the milestone, Amazon also announced its new generative AI foundation model that will improve robot fleet travel efficiency by 10%. The company said the new technology will support faster delivery times and lower costs for customers.
"We've just deployed our 1 millionth robot, building on our position as the world's largest manufacturer and operator of mobile robotics," Amazon Robotics Vice President Scott Dresser said in a post.
Dresser said the new generative AI technology called DeepFleet makes robots smarter.
"Think of DeepFleet as an intelligent traffic management system for a city filled with cars moving through congested streets."

Why It's Important: In the blog post celebrating the milestone, Dresser highlighted the ongoing journey of Amazon's robots, which started in 2012 with a single type of robot that could move inventory shelves.
"Today, we operate a diverse fleet of robots, designed to make our employees' jobs easier and safer, and our operations more efficient," Dresser said.
Dresser highlighted the company's Hercules robot, which can lift up to 1,250 pounds of inventory, and the company's Proteus fully autonomous mobile robot that can safely navigate around employees.
While the one million robots milestone could spark worry that the 1.5 million Amazon human employees could someday be replaced, Dresser highlights how the two work hand in hand and there are opportunities for employees.
Dresser said since 2019, over 700,000 employees have been upskilled with training initiatives through robotics.
The Amazon Robotics Vice President said the company's new fulfillment center in Louisiana, launched late 2024, requires 30% more employees in various roles.
"The technology we're building does more than move products — it's transforming workplace safety and creating new career opportunities."
Amazon currently has around 1.5 million human employees worldwide, a total that could someday be surpassed by robots, given Amazon's impressive technology advancements pace.
"The combination of our million-robot milestone and DeepFleet points to an exciting future where robotics and AI work together to reimagine what's possible in fulfilment and delivery."
Amazon acquired robotic company Kiva Systems in 2012 for $775 million. Kiva changed its name to Amazon Robotics in 2015 and has been a large focus of the e-commerce company since then.
While other tech companies are laying off workers due to the advancement of AI, Amazon is as of right now creating opportunities for workers to work alongside robots and the latest AI technology, as long as they are willing to learn and take part in programs that teach them the latest technologies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inside ForSight's Mission To Solve The Global Cataract Crisis</h2>
Forbes says that more than 4 million cataract surgeries are performed each year in the U.S. alone. Yet, according to a<a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/blindness-and-visual-impairment"> World Health Organization</a> report, over 1 billion people globally suffer from preventable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45814068/novo-nordisks-wegovy-tied-to-increased-risk-of-rare-vision-loss-disorder-european-regulators-say">vision loss</a>. As the population ages and the number of ophthalmologists declines, a gap is forming that traditional medical systems can't fill.
"There is no human way to close the gap as we see it," Dr. Joseph Nathan, ForSight co-founder and chief medical officer, told Forbes. "Robotics will have to take over."
Cataract surgery is a highly precise procedure that involves operating within extremely small spaces, requiring steady hands and dexterous control, according to Forbes. ForSight says its Oryom platform is designed specifically to handle the complexity and consistency of ophthalmic procedures using AI-based algorithms, computer vision, and micromechanics to enhance surgical precision and reduce the physical strain on surgeons.
Over the past year, more than two dozen ophthalmic surgeons have used the platform to successfully perform hundreds of procedures on animal eye models as part of the system's development and testing phase. Forbes reports that ForSight has specifically tested its robotic system on porcine eyes due to their close anatomical similarity to human eyes, a common method used in ophthalmic surgical training.

The company says it has yet to perform surgery on a human patient, but expects to begin clinical trials by the end of the year. Early conversations with the Food and Drug Administration are already underway, and the new funding will carry the company through its regulatory process.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ForSight is Powered by the Titans of Surgical Robotics</h2>
ForSight was born out of Israel's Technion Institute, where Shoham, Nathan, and co-founder Daniel Glozman combined decades of expertise in medical engineering, research and development, and commercialization. Shoham's previous students have gone on to lead Medtronic's robotics division and build multi-billion-dollar exits. Moll and Shoham, often called "the godfathers of surgical robotics," now advise the company strategically, Forbes reports.
"There is only one procedure that is done more than cataract surgery and that is blood drawing," Moll told Forbes. "As far as real surgical technique [that could be helped by robotics], cataract surgery is at the top of the list."
With its third-generation prototype complete, ForSight is already preparing to expand its platform's capabilities beyond cataracts. Forbes says that future use cases include retinal procedures, glaucoma treatments, and complex eye surgeries that currently only a handful of surgeons in the world are qualified to perform.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can this Cataract Robot Solve the Vision Surgeon Shortage? ForSight Thinks So</h2>
ForSight's Oryom system provides a potential answer to a looming global health crisis. According to the company, there are only 31.7 ophthalmologists and 14.1 cataract surgeons per million people globally, highlighting a significant gap between demand and surgical capacity. This surgeon shortage, combined with rising rates of preventable blindness, suggests that millions may not receive timely care.
A 2020 study published in the<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31266774/"> British Journal of Ophthalmology</a>, further confirms that lower-income countries average just 3.7 ophthalmologists per million people, compared to 76.2 in high-income nations, underscoring the disparity in access to eye care worldwide.
By automating precision eye surgery, ForSight is betting on a future where access to vision care is no longer limited by geography or availability of human doctors. If successful, the company may become the Intuitive Surgical of ophthalmology.

OpenAI Says Tokens Are Not Equity, No Partnership With Robinhood: Musk Says AI Company's Equity 'Is Fake'

In a <a href="https://youtu.be/Mza5tTgh9hA?si=t8kQpBKpfYDgY-xK">2015 interview with journalist Graham Basinger</a>, Shaquille O'Neal peeled back the curtain on a side of his story you don't see in highlight reels. Not the dunks. Not the trophies. The moment he found out he was $80,000 in the hole—before he'd even played a single NBA game.
"I spend it in one day," he said, referring to the $1 million endorsement deal he landed before the draft. The spending spree started with a black Mercedes—$150,000, no questions asked. "No negotiations," he said. "Guy could have told me $200,000 and I would've bought it."
Then came one for his dad. Then one for his mom. Suits, jewelry, electronics, a sound system with a beeper-connected alarm. "A couple days later, I got a call from the bank," Shaq said. The manager, a family friend, asked if he could read a bank statement. "I was 80,000 in the hole," Shaq admitted. "And I was real embarrassed."

</ul>
But that call changed everything. "Son," the banker told him, "I watched you play here in high school. You're bright. I don't want you to be like all these other athletes."
That stuck.
Shaq started meeting with financial advisors—but many raised red flags. "I can remember an old-timer saying, ‘It was too good to be true. Don't do it,'" Shaq recalled. That voice in his head helped him dodge flashy promises and zero in on the right person.
He was young, rich, and honest about one simple truth: nobody had taught him how money really worked. He didn't understand things like FICA or taxes—he thought that million-dollar check was exactly that. And like a lot of people in their early 20s, he learned by making expensive mistakes.

Then came the man who changed his life: "One little, small, beautiful Jewish man" who told him, simply, "I'm into savings bonds. We're gonna start a subchapter S corporation for your family." Shaq's response? "Shalom, I'm going with you, sir."
That advisor, Lester Knispel, became like a second father. And when Shaq started slipping into old habits—like the time he tried to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43397569/shaq-once-blew-600000-on-two-rolls-royces-because-mike-tyson-bought-three-and-he-didnt-want-to-be-outdone-by-him">outdo Mike Tyson at a Rolls-Royce dealership</a> and dropped $600,000—Lester was the one who reeled him back in.
It worked. Big time.
Shaq learned. Not just how to protect his money, but how to grow it. He became an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/03/44449022/shaq-accidentally-invested-250000-in-this-company-now-its-value-is-skyrocketing-my-only-regret-i-wish-i-would-have-bought-more">early investor in Google</a>, took a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/40677330/shaq-refused-to-pay-80-000-for-security-and-made-a-surprising-choice-he-invested-in-a-company-bezos">stake in Ring</a> before Amazon scooped it up for $1 billion, and quietly built an empire. He owns dozens of franchises—from fast food to fitness—and has parlayed his brand into everything from TV to tech.

"People always talk about athletes going broke," he once said. "I made sure I wouldn't be one of them."
These days, Shaq isn't just spending smart—he's sharing the playbook. He regularly offers advice to young athletes and everyday folks alike, stressing basics like living below your means, getting help from professionals, and avoiding credit card debt. "It's not about how much you make," he told CNBC. "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41305175/nba-legend-shaq-says-you-should-save-75-of-your-paycheck-its-not-about-how-much-you-make-its-abo">It's about how much you keep</a>."
Whether it's tipping big, buying strangers appliances at Walmart, or just telling fans to "invest in what you know," Shaq isn't just generous with his money—he's generous with his lessons.

20. Pony AI (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PONY#NASDAQ">PONY</a>)
Why It's Important: The top 10 list for the first six months of 2025 looked similar to the month of June, with eight of the companies the same.
UnitedHealth Group, which has appeared in only one top 20 over the past three months, ranked sixth thanks to the strong interest in the ticker at the start of the year.
Super Micro Computer similarly ranked eighth for the first half of 2025 despite only a ninth place rank in April and not being in the top 20 in May or June. The stock was particularly popular during the first three months of the year.
If the top 10 holds steady for the rest of the year, the top three stocks would match the 2024 year, but in a different order. In 2024, it was Nvidia ranked first, followed by Tesla and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust. The three stocks now rank in opposite order through the first six months of the year.
Outside of the top 10 there weren't many huge surprises with themes such as cryptocurrency, AI and quantum computing being strong in the first six months of 2025.
Apple ended the first half of the year ranked 12th, despite previously ranking in the top 10 in several months to start the year. Other Mag 7 stocks such as Amazon and Meta also ranked in the 11 to 20. Alphabet ranked just outside of the top 20 for the first half of the year at 22nd place. Nowhere to be found in the top 25 was Microsoft, a member of the Mag 7 and the second most valuable company in the world.
