The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) slipped Friday amid rising tensions<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45921212/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-as-israel-strikes-iran-geopolitical-risks-offers-upside-for-dollar-say-experts"> between Israel and Iran</a>, but Benzinga readers remain bullish, predicting new all-time highs later this year.
What Happened: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/42754939/sp-500-scaled-a-record-57-all-time-highs-in-2024-heres-what-analysts-think-is-in-store-in-2025">reached 57 new</a> all-time highs in 2024 and several so far in 2025, helped in part by optimism for a new White House administration.
The ETF hit a high of $613.23 on Feb. 19 before closing at $612.93 for the day. Since then, the ETF has gotten back over $600 several times including recently on June 11 when it hit an intraday high of 605.06.
Benzinga recently asked readers to predict if the ETF, which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, will hit new highs again this year.
"The SPDR S&amp;P 500 SPY Trust hit an all-time high in February. Do you think it can set a fresh high this year?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>SPY will hit $613.24 to $625.00: 27%</li>
<li>SPY will hit $640.01 to $655.00: 23%</li>
<li>SPY will hit $625.01 to $640.00: 21%</li>
<li>SPY has already topped $613.23: 13%</li>
<li>SPY will hit $670.01+: 10%</li>
<li>SPY will hit $655.01 to $670.00: 7%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that a majority of readers believe the S&amp;P 500 is going to hit new all-time highs later this year. The top vote getter was the $613.24 to $625.00 range at 27%, which would see the SPY just setting new highs and trading up around 2.3% to 4.3% higher than the ETF currently trades.
The next highest vote-getter was the $640.01 to $655.00 range, which represents a 6.8% to 9.3% increase from current ranges.
Ultimately, 88% said the SPY will set new all-time highs with 13% saying the ETF has already topped for the year (the numbers don't add up to 100% due to rounding).

Why It's Important: The lowest vote totals were the SPY hitting $670.01 or more and hitting the $655.01 to $670.00 range, which shows that investors are optimistic for new all-time highs, but not as high as these potential ranges.
A similar result was found when Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45871245/exclusive-bitcoin-to-hit-200k-in-2025-15-say-yes-while-many-see-new-all-time-highs-coming">recently asked about</a> Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs this year.
The leading vote getters were ranges closest to the existing all-time high figure, while overly optimistic price targets got low percentages of votes in that poll.
The main difference is in that poll, Bitcoin already hitting the highest price for 2025 ranked last among five options with 14% of the vote.
Tariffs, macroeconomic concerns and now increased global tensions are all factors that will likely weigh into whether the SPY and Bitcoin hit new all-time highs in 2025.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday approved Merck &amp; Co Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for adult patients with resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (combined positive score of at least 1), as a single agent as neoadjuvant treatment, continued as adjuvant treatment in combination with radiotherapy (RT) with or without cisplatin and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45921974/fda-approves-keytruda-pembrolizumab-for-pd-l1-resectable-locally-advanced-head-neck-squamous-cell-" rel="noreferrer noopener">then as a single agent</a>.
The approval introduces the first perioperative anti-PD-1 treatment regimen for adults with resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS ≥1).
The approval is based on data from the pivotal Phase 3 KEYNOTE-689 trial.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/45845078/mercks-cholesterol-lowering-drug-hits-primary-goal-in-two-pivotal-trials" rel="noreferrer noopener">Merck&#8217;s Cholesterol Lowering Drug Hits Primary Goal In Two Pivotal Trials</a>
At the trial&#8217;s first pre-specified interim analysis, Keytruda before surgery (neoadjuvant), then continued after surgery (adjuvant) in combination with standard of care (SOC), RT with or without cisplatin, followed by Keytruda alone, reduced the risk of event-free survival (EFS) events (defined as disease recurrence, disease progression, or death) by 30% compared to adjuvant SOC.
Among the CPS ≥1 population, the median EFS was 59.7 months in the Keytruda arm versus 29.6 months in the SOC arm.
&#8220;The introduction of Keytruda as a perioperative treatment option for certain patients with resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma represents a potentially significant shift in how we manage this disease,&#8221; the Keynote-689 trial&#8217;s principal investigator, Ravindra Uppaluri, said in a statement Friday.
Earlier in June, Merck reportedly approached Swiss biotech MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLTX#NASDAQ">MLTX</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/45743008/mercks-dealmaking-intensifies-with-moonlake-bid-as-keytruda-patent-cliff-nears-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">bid exceeding $3 billion</a>.
The potential deal signals renewed dealmaking activity as investor pressure has mounted on Merck to secure new assets, especially as its blockbuster <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">cancer drug Keytruda</a> faces patent expiration as early as 2028.
In May, Merck&#8217;s Phase 3 KEYNOTE-B96 trial (also known as ENGOT-ov65), met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) for platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer whose tumors expressed PD-L1 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/05/45450568/merck-says-blockbuster-keytruda-based-regimen-can-help-certain-ovarian-cancer-patients-live-longer" rel="noreferrer noopener">and in all comers</a>.
The study also met a secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS) in patients whose tumors express PD-L1.
The Keytruda-based regimen demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS regardless of PD-L1 status compared to placebo plus chemotherapy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/05/45450568/merck-says-blockbuster-keytruda-based-regimen-can-help-certain-ovarian-cancer-patients-live-longer" rel="noreferrer noopener">with or without bevacizumab</a>.
Price Action: MRK stock is trading higher by 0.40% to $82.15 at last check Friday.

Bankers say these biscuits are worth billions. The $1.5 billion asking price for Bojangles, the fried chicken and biscuit fast-food chain, is about triple what private equity firms Durational Capital Management and TJC paid in 2019—just four years after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/15/05/5492635/bojangles-prices-ipo-at-19-high-end-of-range">the chain went public</a>.
According <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/bojangles-is-exploring-a-sale-while-the-fried-chicken-market-is-hot-5cc6fb9e?mod=e2tw">to</a> the Wall Street Journal, both strategic restaurant operators and private equity buyers are interested.
The North Carolina–based fast-casual brand has been expanding thanks to U.S. chicken chain sales spiking 9% last year. 
The potential sale comes amid a broader M&amp;A wave in the restaurant industry. Recent deals include Roark Capital's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45829771/heres-how-daves-hot-chicken-went-from-humble-beginnings-to-a-billion-dollar-food-empire">acquisition of</a> Dave's Hot Chicken, Blackstone's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42167861/blackstone-takes-a-bite-out-of-jersey-mikes-with-8-billion-investment">stake in</a> Jersey Mike's, and Sycamore Partners' purchase of Playa Bowls. 
Meanwhile, Apollo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) and Irth Capital have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/45908298/papa-johns-takeover-rumors-swirl-but-doubts-are-creeping-in">made a $2 billion bid</a> for Papa John's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PZZA#NASDAQ">PZZA</a>).

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h3>
Benzinga sat down with 28-year-old financial advisor Luke Lloyd, founder of the newly launched Lloyd Financial Group. Formerly a wealth advisor at Strategic Wealth Partners, where he helped manage $1.5 billion in client assets, Lloyd brings a sharp eye for macroeconomic trends, individual stock analysis, and deal-making dynamics. 
Now running his own RIA firm, he's focused on delivering personalized, strategic investment guidance with a deep understanding of today's fast-moving financial landscape, including hot takes on M&amp;A:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Benzinga: Where do you think the most consolidation is going to happen this year and next?</h3>
Lloyd: It&#8217;s going to be where all the money&#8217;s at. It&#8217;s going to be big tech. Take Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and add up all their cash accounts. If these tech giants are collecting 5% of their cash on interest, and interest rates drop at all, they will go out there and buy everything they can buy. I also think the most divesting will also happen in tech. These big corporations are too inefficient. They&#8217;re too big. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: What should they do?</h3>
Lloyd: The most efficient way is to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/18/02/11119830/6-analysts-react-to-the-paypal-ebay-split">do something like</a> eBay (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) and PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) did. There are all these ways you can break up your company and actually make more money and add more shareholder value. These guys can write $2 billion checks to these small, mid-cap companies and not even feel a single thing. They&#8217;re making more on their interest, on their cash accounts, than they are writing those checks. Divesting the big parts of tech will also happen, probably in the next couple of years. I&#8217;m not saying it will happen this year, but in the next couple of years — I talked about this on Fox Business, probably six months ago — Apple will get broken up to focus on growth areas, like AI. Apple is behind the eight-ball with AI compared to others. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: That&#8217;s something that Senator Bernie Sanders would like to <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/16/bernie-sanders-facebook-google-amazon-1416786">hear</a>.</h3>
Lloyd: I&#8217;m not saying the government&#8217;s going to do it. I&#8217;m saying I think it&#8217;s in the company&#8217;s best interest. Corporations themselves should want to break up in some ways because they make more money and become more efficient. If they can lean up certain sectors and areas, they can actually be able to deliver more shareholder value.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: We&#8217;re not hearing much of that conversation from big tech.</h3>
Lloyd: I&#8217;m not either. I just hope it happens to add more shareholder value. I think they&#8217;re too fat and fluffy, and I think that it&#8217;s definitely possible and something that could happen that I&#8217;m keeping an eye on.
Check back soon for our whole conversation with Lloyd; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/45822510/deal-dispatch-tv-stations-for-sale-this-buyer-wants-seconds-on-pasta">For last week&#8217;s edition of the Deal Dispatch, click here</a>.

Deal Dispatch: Chicken Chains, Solar Pains And Disney's Hulu Gains — Plus, Why Big Tech Should Break Up

Investors with a lot of money to spend have taken a bullish stance on IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>).
And retail traders should know.
We noticed this today when the trades showed up on publicly available options history that we track here at Benzinga.
Whether these are institutions or just wealthy individuals, we don't know. But when something this big happens with IBM, it often means somebody knows something is about to happen.
So how do we know what these investors just did? 
Today, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga</a>'s options scanner spotted 19 uncommon options trades for IBM.
This isn't normal.
The overall sentiment of these big-money traders is split between 42% bullish and 31%, bearish.
Out of all of the special options we uncovered, 2 are puts, for a total amount of $66,640, and 17 are calls, for a total amount of $795,217.
<h3>Expected Price Movements</h3>
Analyzing the Volume and Open Interest in these contracts, it seems that the big players have been eyeing a price window from $240.0 to $300.0 for IBM during the past quarter. 
<h3>Volume &amp; Open Interest Trends</h3>
Looking at the volume and open interest is a powerful move while trading options. This data can help you track the liquidity and interest for IBM's options for a given strike price. Below, we can observe the evolution of the volume and open interest of calls and puts, respectively, for all of IBM's whale trades within a strike price range from $240.0 to $300.0 in the last 30 days.

BIDU

A Closer Look at Baidu's Options Market Dynamics

Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) made headlines in May by becoming the first cryptocurrency exchange included in the S&amp;P 500 index, marking a significant milestone for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">the crypto industry</a>. 
This inclusion signals growing mainstream acceptance and positions Coinbase among America's largest and most influential companies. 
But just weeks after its debut, Coinbase is facing its first major challenge: tariff-induced market turbulence and a rocky crypto environment that threaten to stall its momentum.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500 Inclusion: A Watershed Moment For Crypto</h2>
Coinbase's addition to the S&amp;P 500 reflects its operational maturity, liquidity, and profitability &#8211; criteria that few crypto companies meet. Representing roughly 0.11% of the index, Coinbase's inclusion has brought the exchange under the spotlight of institutional investors and index-tracking funds, leading to significant passive inflows. Shares jumped 24% after the announcement, signaling strong optimism.
However, this newfound spotlight also means Coinbase must now navigate broader market pressures alongside crypto-specific challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Turbulence Rattles Investor Confidence</h2>
The rollout of President Donald Trump's tariff policies in early 2025 has disrupted global trade and shaken investor sentiment. Tariffs on Chinese goods have indirectly impacted crypto markets by curbing risk appetite, with Bitcoin and Coinbase stock showing heightened correlation during market sell-offs. 
Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45919626/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-teases-crypto-credit-card-powered-by-american-express-bitcoin-cashbacks-offered-but-heres-the-catch">Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Teases Crypto Credit Card Powered By American Express—Bitcoin Cashbacks Offered, But Here&#8217;s The Catch</a>
This volatility hit Coinbase hard: the stock fell more than 6% year-to-date and faced double-digit declines in early 2025 amid tariff uncertainty.
Given that Coinbase commands about 66% of the U.S. crypto trading market, declines in trading volume &#8211; down 10% in the first quarter &#8211; have translated directly into lower revenues. Tariff-driven economic slowdowns could further pressure Coinbase's core business, making this an important stress test for the newly minted S&amp;P 500 member.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can New Products Light The Way Forward?</h2>
Despite the hurdles, Coinbase is not sitting idle. At the 2025 State of Crypto Summit, Coinbase unveiled an ambitious slate of new products aimed at expanding its revenue streams and solidifying its crypto ecosystem.
Key initiatives include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45921146/shopify-teams-up-with-coinbase-stripe-to-roll-out-usdc-stablecoin-payments-for-merchants">partnership with Shopify</a> Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>) enabling crypto payments on a commerce platform handling nearly $500 billion in annual merchandise value, supported by Coinbase's Layer 2 blockchain, Base.</li>
<li>Expansion of Coinbase Payments infrastructure to more than 200 businesses, including SAP and Deel, targeting the multi-trillion dollar payments market.</li>
<li>Retail innovations like the Coinbase One Basic subscription tier and a new Bitcoin rewards credit card in partnership with American Express, aiming to build steady, subscription-like revenue.</li>
<li>Integration of decentralized exchange (DEX) trading with the legacy Coinbase app, allowing users to access every on-chain asset seamlessly.</li>
<li>Business-focused treasury management tools that help small businesses transact and store crypto, fiat, and stablecoins with added yield incentives.</li>
</ul>
These developments show Coinbase's focus on broadening its total addressable market beyond trading fees toward payments, subscriptions, and business services.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead</h2>
JPMorgan analyst Kenneth B. Worthington maintains a Neutral rating on Coinbase with a December 2025 price target of $215, emphasizing that while the crypto ecosystem is still in early stages, Coinbase is well positioned to benefit from industry growth.
Still, the company's S&amp;P 500 debut is being tested by external economic pressures that could weigh on short-term results. Investors will be watching closely to see if Coinbase's new product launches and expanding crypto infrastructure can offset tariff-induced headwinds and pave the way for sustainable growth.

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Dover Through 9 Analysts

Being faced with a turbulent trade environment in recent months, luxury furnishing retailer RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) is taking several steps and even leaning into the volatility to tackle the tariffs.
What Happened: On Thursday, during its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45915485/rh-stock-surges-on-q1-earnings-beat-despite-worst-housing-market-in-50-years">first quarter results</a>, the company outlined its plans to outmaneuver the industry turmoil caused by President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs, while using the disruption to reset its supply chains and grab market share.
This comes as many of its competitors, according to CEO Gary Friedman, are on the verge of bankruptcy. &#8220;We stopped shipments,&#8221; Friedman says, in response to the tariffs, adding that the surprise tariff announcements in early April didn&#8217;t follow suit with business as usual. &#8220;You don't just go, Oh yes, business as usual,&#8221; he said.
As a result, RH expects second-quarter revenue growth to slow to between 8% and 10%, compared to 12% growth in Q1, citing a roughly six-point drag attributed to the tariffs. The shortfall is expected to be recovered in the second half of the year.

In response to the tariffs, RH is cutting its imports from China, from 16% to just 2%, while ramping up production domestically in the U.S., as well as in Italy for its core upholstery categories. It says that some of its vendor partners have agreed to absorb a significant portion of the tariff burden.
Despite the near-term turbulence, Friedman framed the situation as an opportunity. &#8220;There [are] a lot of people going bankrupt,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They don't have the scale, the leverage, or the strategic flexibility.&#8221; 
According to Friedman, RH's ability to act decisively in a downturn, rather than retreat, positions it to emerge stronger as others falter.
Why It Matters: Being significantly exposed to international trade, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729499/rh-rallies-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-that-triggered-40-selloff">stock plunged 40%</a> when the tariffs were first announced, which coincided with a disappointing fourth quarter performance. 
It, however, rallied 29% just a few days down the line when Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44729499/rh-rallies-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-that-triggered-40-selloff">a 90-day pause</a> on the tariffs, which underscores the level of exposure the company has to foreign trade and tariffs.
During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45915485/rh-stock-surges-on-q1-earnings-beat-despite-worst-housing-market-in-50-years">first quarter results</a> on Thursday, RH reported $813.95 million in revenue, and while it missed consensus estimates at $818.12 million, it came in well ahead of estimates on earnings, at $0.13 per share, against analysts estimating a loss of $0.009 per share. 
Price Action: Shares of RH were down 1.18% on Thursday, ending at $176.87, but have since surged 18.05% during after-hours, following its first quarter results.

The analyst lifted 2025 estimates to $8.56 from $8.35 and 2026 EPS estimates to $10.33 from $9.39, as Whirlpool&#8217;s domestic production stands to benefit from new appliance-related steel tariffs.

Despite long-term concerns over free cash flow sufficiency for deleveraging and sustaining the $400 million annual dividend, the analyst writes that the recent debt refinancing and expected India business sale in the second half of 2025 provide enough support through the company&#8217;s 2026 maturity.
Jadrosich highlighted multiple times that Whirlpool is relatively well positioned to benefit from new Section 232 tariffs, which will impose a 50% duty on the steel content of imported home appliances starting June 23.
Since 80% of Whirlpool&#8217;s U.S. sales are domestically produced and 96% of its steel is U.S.-sourced, the company faces minimal impact.
In contrast, competitors who rely on imports for over half of their U.S. sales, around 20% from China and 15% from Korea, previously enjoyed a cost advantage by bypassing steel tariffs through finished goods imports, a benefit now significantly reduced.
According to the analyst, the tariffs could force competitors to raise wholesale appliance prices by 3–5%, or roughly $15–$20 per unit, to offset increased steel costs, potentially giving Whirlpool a competitive edge.
Since Whirlpool earns less than a 7% margin on a typical sub-$500 wholesale appliance, a $15–$20 price lift on half its North America volume could boost EBIT margins by 150–200 basis points and raise profits by 20–30%.
With appliance manufacturing being a low-margin business, he expects rivals to pass on costs, which may allow Whirlpool to gain share or expand margins, Jadrosich adds.
The analyst raised fiscal year 2027 earnings per share to $10.73 from $9.96.
Price Action: WHR shares are trading higher by 5.12% to $92.04&nbsp;at last check Friday.
