If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

A new Seattle-based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45444616/capital-connect-crumbles-jpmorgans-175m-bet-on-startup-platform-ends-amidst-venture-capital-market-turmoil">startup</a>, Hearvana, is making waves in the audio technology industry. Founded by University of Washington computer science professor Shyam Gollakota and PhD student Malek Itani, Hearvana is developing superhuman hearing capabilities for everyday devices. These advancements are poised to be integrated into billions of earbuds, hearing aids, and smartphones, according to<a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/ai-startup-led-by-uw-computer-science-whiz-enables-superhuman-hearing-capabilities/"> GeekWire</a>.
The company is being incubated by the AI2 Incubator, part of the Allen Institute for AI, which was founded by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831264/microsoft-debuts-computer-use-tool-for-copilot-studio-ceo-satya-nadella-says-anyone-can-build-agents-that-take-action-on-the-ui-across-desktop-and-web-apps">Microsoft</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Paul Allen. The incubator was launched by AI2's founding CEO Oren Etzioni to support early-stage AI startups, according to the institute&#8217;s <a href="https://www.ai2incubator.com/team">website</a>. The company aims to use artificial intelligence to make hearing seamless, personalized, and radically more powerful for billions of users, GeekWire reports.

Gollakota told GeekWire that Hearvana is &#8220;creating AI breakthroughs that are shaping the future of sound,&#8221; adding that their &#8220;AI algorithms enable on-device superhuman hearing capabilities and will be part of billions of earbuds, hearing aids, and smartphones.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Sound Bubble That Lets You Choose What You Hear</h2>
Hearvana's technology focuses on real-time audio filtering, letting users choose what they want to hear while blocking out everything else. According to GeekWire, the company's AI can locate sound sources, understand their distance, and build what Gollakota and his team describe as a "sound bubble."
This innovation solves a pain point nearly everyone experiences, trying to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded event. The algorithms run directly on a device, meaning no data needs to be sent to the cloud, GeekWire reports.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
Hearvana&#8217;s early research,<a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/11/241114161302.htm"> published</a> in November by Gollakota and Itani, demonstrated headphones that adjust dynamically to noise and user focus. The team believes this approach could soon set the standard in next-generation audio technology, aligning with the broader professional audiovisual market, which is projected to reach $422 billion globally by 2029, according to<a href="https://www.avixa.org/about-us/press-room/2024/08/21/pro-av-revenue-forecast-to-reach--422-billion-by-2029--according-to-new-research-from-avixa"> AVIXA&#8217;s 2024 Industry Outlook and Trends Analysis</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Google, Meta, And AI2: A Deep Bench Of Innovation</h2>
Hearvana's founding team blends academic excellence with real-world traction. Gollakota is no stranger to startup success. According to GeekWire, he previously co-founded Sound Life Sciences, which developed smartphone-based breathing detection and was acquired by Google in 2022. He also co-founded Wavely Diagnostics, a smartphone app that detects ear infections.
The startup&#8217;s team brings together expertise from academia and industry. Itani, who previously interned at Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), worked on smart glasses during his time at the tech giant, GeekWire reports. The team's work has already drawn support from Oren Etzioni, technical director at AI2 Incubator.

&#8220;Hearvana is my favorite kind of startup,&#8221; Etzioni told GeekWire. &#8220;It addresses a familiar pain point — we all struggle to hear in noisy settings like a restaurant or a party — with deep AI technology.&#8221;
Hearvana is also actively hiring as it gears up to scale its impact. In a recent<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/shyam-gollakota-84b8541_hearvanaai-hiring-activity-7191709830827481088-7ytr"> LinkedIn post</a>, Gollakota announced the company is looking for passionate candidates to help shape "the future of sound." The startup is currently recruiting for two key roles: a founding deep learning engineer and a founding acoustic simulation engineer.
As Hearvana continues to develop its technology, the company may make significant contributions to the field of audio processing. By combining cutting-edge AI with practical applications, Hearvana aims to enhance the auditory experience for users worldwide.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Loews Stock In The Last 5 Years

The U.S. economy faces a growing list of headwinds that could threaten growth and stability in 2025. Persistent tariff pressures, rising borrowing costs, low consumer confidence and the resumption of student loan payments each has the potential to slow growth and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45564489/trumps-big-tax-bill-clears-the-house-30-year-yields-jump-to-515-as-bond-market-freaks">disrupt economic stability.&nbsp;</a>
Here are 10 key downside risks Dr. Torsten Slok, chief economist for Apollo Global, <a href="https://www.apolloacademy.com/10-downside-risks-to-the-us-economic-outlook/">identified this week</a>. 
1. Moody's Downgrade Raises Borrowing Cost
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Last week, Moody's cut the U.S. long-term credit rating<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns"> from Aaa to Aa1</a>, which made borrowing more expensive for consumers and businesses and put pressure on spending and investment.</li>
</ul>
2. Weakening Housing Demand
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Higher mortgage rates are dampening <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45540541/5-treasury-yields-are-back-and-so-are-painful-mortgage-rates">demand for homes</a> and slowing down one of the U.S. economy's key growth engines.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

3. Tariffs Cutting into Corporate Earnings
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>President Donald Trump recently reduced many of the originally steep tariffs he announced on "Liberation Day," but the average tariff rate remains elevated. The higher levies are squeezing company profits, especially for firms reliant on imported goods and global supply chains.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
4. Trade Deal Uncertainty and Retaliation Risk
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Though most reciprocal tariffs have been "paused" and reduced to a baseline of 10% for 90 days to allow for negotiations, few permanent deals have been reached. China and the U.S. would have to agree on a more permanent solution soon as the pause is set to expire in mid-August.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
5. High Uncertainty Weakening Corporate Confidence
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Businesses are facing extreme uncertainty, making it difficult to plan and invest, which could slow economic activity. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said businesses are in &#8220;wait and see&#8221; mode and are postponing hiring, expansions and M&amp;A deals while<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44774273/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-expects-sp-500-growth-forecast-to-be-cut"> the future remains</a> uncertain. </li>
</ul>
&#8220;People have to adjust to this new environment,&#8221; Dimon said.&nbsp;
6. Consumer Spending Hit by Higher Prices
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Rising prices at retailers are causing consumers to cut back on spending. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon told analysts on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45473067/walmart-prices-will-rise-within-weeks-as-trump-tariffs-drive-up-costs-will-other-retailers-follow-suit">company's earnings call</a> on Thursday that the retailer will be raising prices on some items as a direct result of ongoing tariffs.&nbsp;</li>

7. Historically Weak Consumer Confidence
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Consumer sentiment is dropping drastically and raising concerns about future demand and economic resilience. The University of Michigan's May consumer survey showed that sentiment among American consumers has plunged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45470155/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-5-year-lows-as-inflation-fears-reach-1981-levels">to the lowest levels</a> since June 2020, while expectations for inflation surged to heights last seen in the early 1980s.</li>
</ul>
8. Lower Tourism
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A decline in visitor arrivals from key regions is negatively impacting airlines, hotels and restaurants, according to the Apollo economist.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
9. Student Loan Payments Restarting
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The end of the COVID-19 pandemic-era pause on student loan payments is expected to strain household budgets and reduce discretionary spending. The U.S. Department of Education resumed collections on defaulted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45012792/trump-administration-to-resume-collections-on-student-loans-5-million-borrowers-in-default">federal student loans</a> in May, and according to data from the DOE, more than five million borrowers are in default. </li>
</ul>
10. DOGE Government Worker Layoffs
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Layoffs of federal employees and contractors could lead to higher unemployment and reduced consumer spending, with ripple effects across the economy, according to Dr. Slok.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman's hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management, established a new position in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) after the stock dropped more than 30% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45372179/us-china-tariff-truce-adds-nearly-45-billion-to-net-worth-of-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-mark-zuckerberg">earlier this year. </a>
The Details: Pershing Square chief investment officer Ryan Israel told analysts on a call Thursday that the firm acquired Amazon shares at an "extremely attractive" price, according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-22/pershing-square-buys-amazon-stake-after-31-drop-in-stock-price?embedded-checkout=true">report</a>.&nbsp;

"This was a uniquely attractive time as we felt that the company would be able to work through any slowdown" in Amazon's cloud business, Israel said.
He added that Amazon is a "fantastic franchise"&nbsp; and "well on its way" to delivering more than 20% earnings per share growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Amazon stock tumbled more than 30% following President Donald Trump's tariff announcements on "Liberation Day" in early April to a low of $167.32 on April 21.&nbsp;
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told shareholders on Wednesday that the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45551594/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-no-slowdown-in-consumer-spending-amid-tariffs">has not experienced</a> any significant changes in consumer spending due to the tariffs.&nbsp;
Jassy said, "We have not seen any attenuation of demand at this point," and added that there have been no "meaningful average selling price increases."&nbsp;
AMZN Stock Price Action: Amazon shares ended Thursday's session up 0.98% at $203.10, according to data from<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw"> Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Builds New Stake In Amazon At 'Extremely Attractive' Price

Jamie Dimon says the U.S. can&#8217;t take its status as the world&#8217;s top economic power for granted anymore.
In a recent interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCSFDihV51g">Bloomberg Television</a>, the JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO was asked whether he worries about U.S. supremacy and exceptionalism. He answered, perhaps surprisingly, that he never quite believed in American exceptionalism and warned that regulation and what he called &#8220;stupid bureaucracy&#8221; are holding the country back.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dimon Says U.S. Risks Falling Behind</h2>
&#8220;We've slowed ourselves down with regulation, stupid bureaucracy,&#8221; Dimon said. &#8220;We haven't done budgets in years. So, no, we shouldn't assume it's forever.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
He pointed to a long list of issues that are weighing on the economy: inflation, deficits, rising interest rates, and ongoing global conflicts.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of uncertainty out there that you can&#8217;t discount,&#8221; he said, mentioning the war in Ukraine, terrorism, instability in the Middle East and U.S. deficits. He also highlighted the risks created by tariffs, saying that although the U.S. has backed off some of its earlier moves, even the current level of trade tension is causing companies to hesitate.
&#8220;Even at this level, you see people holding back on investment and thinking through what they want to do,&#8221; Dimon said.
On the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45071155/mild-recession-is-best-case-outcome-jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon">possibility of a U.S. recession</a>, Dimon didn&#8217;t give a firm prediction. Instead, he deferred to economists and put the chances at &#8220;about 50%.&#8221; Interestingly, JPMorgan&#8217;s analysts raised their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy">recession probability to 60%</a> in April, up from 40% in March.&nbsp;
He added, &#8220;All these things are probably inflationary&#8230; and slowing down the economy.&#8221;
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is America a Bad Investment Destination?&nbsp;</h2>
Still, despite the challenges, Dimon said America remains the top choice for investment: &#8220;If you would take all of your money and put it in one country, it would still be America.&#8221;
However, he cautioned that this dominance isn't guaranteed. "You do not have a divine right to success,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If we don't do everything right, we can lose that.&#8221;
Dimon also expressed admiration for some foreign leaders who he believes are taking a more business-friendly approach. He praised French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K.&nbsp; Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for their pro-business attitudes. &#8220;I think Macron is one of the best political leaders on the planet today.&#8221;
On global competition, Dimon was frank: &#8220;Assume competition. Assume they&#8217;re coming at you in every angle.&#8221;

Asked about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45336194/charlie-mungers-timeless-advice-for-navigating-volatile-markets-be-fearful-when-others-are-greedy-and-be-greedy-when-others-are-fearful">market volatility</a>, Dimon said he expects it to continue and warned against assuming it will go away anytime soon.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a mistake to think we can go through all the things we&#8217;re going through and the volatility itself will come down,&#8221; he said.
As for JPMorgan&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45483359/jamie-dimon-says-dont-tell-jpmorgan-what-to-do-as-he-tells-remote-workers-you-cant-learn-working-fro">return-to-office policy</a>, which drew <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43757032/jamie-dimon-goes-off-on-return-to-office-critics-you-dont-have-to-work-at-jpmorgan">media attention</a> earlier this year, Dimon stood firm: &#8220;I&#8217;m not against work from home. I&#8217;m against work when it doesn&#8217;t work.&#8221;
He said the company has seen no additional attrition and that young employees especially need in-person experience to grow.
&#8220;It&#8217;s an apprenticeship system and you can&#8217;t learn working from your basement,&#8221; Dimon said.

IMMX stock has given up its prior gain. Immix Biopharma shares were trading higher after the company announced the publication of cell therapy NXC-201 Abstract #7508, selected for oral presentation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.

In a world where the go-to buzzword is &#8220;disruption,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">one new ETF </a>is doubling down on the established players. 
Strategy Shares, in conjunction with Rareview Capital LLC, debuted the Monopoly ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPLY#BATS">MPLY</a>) on May 16, a thematic fund focused on firms with deep market roots, or to use the parlance of the fund, &#8220;monopolistic attributes.&#8221;
Since its launch, the fund&#8217;s offering has been hit with a mix of curiosity and goal-oriented focus. Whereas most money is pursuing innovation, growth-at-all-costs, or the next breakout theme, MPLY pursues safety in dominance instead. 
Its investment thesis relies on four characteristic attributes: • Established brand dominance • Regulatory exclusivity • High entry barriers • No direct competition or limited direct competition. 
That is to say, businesses that don&#8217;t merely compete but effectively set the rules of the game.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Structure And Strategy</h1>
MPLY will have 75 to 125 holdings, diversified among sectors and sizes, with some degree of diversification despite focusing on monopolistic characteristics. Per the guidelines of the fund, the portfolio will not include regulated utilities, presumably a tip of the hat to the avoidance of price-control-subject sectors that may limit returns regardless of monopolistic market position.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Defensive Play In A Volatile Market</h1>
Rareview Capital CIO Neil Azous highlighted the fund&#8217;s possible status as a &#8220;core solution&#8221; within equity portfolios. 
&#8220;MPLY can be a core solution and a potential replacement for a portion of a portfolio's stock market exposure. The Fund seeks to capture market upside, but may act more defensive on the downside,&#8221; Azous said. 
&#8220;The companies the fund invests in generally have sustainable competitive advantages, tangible barriers to entry, and defensive earnings streams. As a result, they typically have the potential to generate high returns on invested capital that may compound over long periods,&#8221; Azous added. 
That means the type of reliability investors seek amid uncertainty in markets: high returns on capital, compounded over time.
Essentially, MPLY is not merely about market dominance, it&#8217;s about foresight in an increasingly story-oriented market. By focusing on long-term moats instead of short-term momentum, the fund offers a defensive growth approach that might appeal to institutional investors as well as individual investors hesitant to overexpose themselves to story stocks.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Beyond The Buzz</h1>
While the marketing of the fund emphasizes a compelling mix of defense and innovation, invoking &#8220;Monopoly&#8221; as a branding gimmick is interesting. The label brings to mind the classic board game, as well as a genuine economic entity, so exposed to regulators. Still, the managers are sensitive to delineate their holdings as companies with &#8220;monopolistic qualities,&#8221; but not as so-called monopolies, a semantic, but possibly regulatory, distinction.
The true test will come in the doing: whether MPLY can balance its audacious thesis with strong performance through market cycles. For now, it presents a sharp proposition, betting not on something trendy and new, but on something big that is already dominating the board.

<h2>All You Need to Know About Tandem Diabetes Care</h2>
Tandem Diabetes designs, manufactures, and markets durable insulin pumps for diabetes patients. The firm first entered this market in 2012 and has since introduced multiple generations of pumps leading to its current t:slim X2 device. The firm recently launched its smaller Mobi pump and continues to work on a tubeless patch pump. Nearly three-quarters of total revenue is derived from the US, with the remainder primarily from other developed nations. The pumps themselves generate just over half of total sales, and another one third is from disposable infusion sets that need to be changed over every 2 to 3 days.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analyst ratings serve as essential indicators of stock performance, provided by experts in banking and financial systems. These specialists diligently analyze company financial statements, participate in conference calls, and engage with insiders to generate quarterly ratings for individual stocks.
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.
