JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>)'s investor day struck the right tone for Wall Street, with Bank of America calling the stock a top buy and lifting its price target to $300 as the bank doubled down on return efficiency, capital <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45453976/jp-morgans-investor-day-looms-why-this-could-set-the-stocks-next-move">deployment, and CEO stability.</a>
"Investor day provided plenty for the Street to like," said the bank&#8217;s analyst Ebrahim Poonawala in a note Tuesday.
The expert lifted the stock&#8217;s price objective from $281 to $300, implying a 13% upside from current levels. He now sees 2025 and 2026 earnings per share at $18.30 and $20.70, up from $18.10 and $20 previously.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CEO Succession Risk Now On The Backburner</h3>
The single biggest overhang for JPMorgan's stock—CEO succession—may have just eased. CEO Jamie Dimon said, "If I&#8217;m here for four more years and maybe two or three as executive chair&#8230; that's a long time," signaling no imminent departure.
Poonawala said this clarity should help remove "the single biggest idiosyncratic risk factor debated by investors," based on client conversations.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Capital Deployment Through M&amp;A Gaining Traction</h3>
While JPMorgan has traditionally favored share buybacks over large-scale M&amp;A, the tone shifted subtly during the investor day. Management appeared more open to strategic acquisitions, particularly in wealth management, private banking, payments, and international markets.
With an estimated $57 billion in excess capital, JPMorgan has the firepower to pursue growth opportunities—though transformational deals remain unlikely. 
The analyst described this flexibility as a key part of the bank's attractive risk/reward profile, particularly amid a more balanced regulatory environment.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Efficiency Push May Reset Cost Trajectory</h3>
Poonawala highlighted management's continued push for cost efficiency as another reason for optimism. With tech investment near peak levels and headcount growth under tighter control. 
&#8220;This could reset core expense growth to low single digits from mid-to-high in recent years, further boost&nbsp;the ROE&nbsp;profile,&#8221; Poonawala said. 
Shares of JPMorgan Chase traded 0.4% higher to $266 on Tuesday.

US duties on solar equipment from four Southeast Asian countries are now set to take effect, following a government trade commission's conclusion Tuesday the imports threaten domestic manufacturers.
With a <a href="https://www.usitc.gov/calendarpad/events/usitc_vote_notational_crystalline_silicon_052025.htm">vote</a> Tuesday, the International Trade Commission concluded imported solar cells and modules from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam were injuring domestic manufacturers. The determination was a key final threshold for duties to take full effect, setting the stage for collections in June.

$1000 Invested In Watts Water Technologies 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Silicon Valley giants and at least one iconic Detroit auto manufacturer are gearing up for a corporate homecoming—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44597023/trumps-tariffs-could-spark-reshoring-boom-for-these-4-us-stocks">or so they say</a>.
According to Charles Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders, citing Bloomberg data, talk of "reshoring" among S&amp;P 500 and Russell 3000 companies is hitting &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; levels.

But the iPhone maker has tried this before. 
Back in 2013, under the Obama administration, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the Mac Pro would be manufactured in Austin, Texas with components made domestically as part of a $100 million &#8220;Made-in-the-USA&#8221; pitch.

It didn&#8217;t last long. By 2019, under the first Trump administration, Apple <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-moves-mac-pro-production-to-china-11561728769">moved</a> production back to China, underscoring its dependence on the highly trained, low-cost workforce and massive infrastructure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia</h2>
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang recently <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3fd3a717-2fbf-42ef-bb08-5baecdeb1985">told the Financial Times</a> that the goal is to procure &#8220;half a trillion dollars worth of electronics in total&#8221; and manufacture &#8220;several hundred billion of it&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44799936/nvidia-to-build-500b-ai-infrastructure-in-us-in-the-next-four-years-details">in the U.S.</a>
The initiative includes AI chip facilities and supercomputing infrastructure—fueled by supply chain worries, tariffs, and the AI arms race.
In April, Nvidia had already started producing its Blackwell AI GPUs at a Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) plant in Phoenix, Arizona. 
Talks for that initiative reportedly <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/tsmc-talks-with-nvidia-ai-chip-production-arizona-sources-say-2024-12-05/">began</a> in 2024. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TSMC</h2>
Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is also planning to double down in Arizona and intends to spend $100 billion more on domestic chip fabs. 
The chipmaker promised to manufacture semiconductors in the U.S. thanks partly to Biden-era incentives. Last year, TSMC chief executive C.C. Wei expressed support for the CHIPS and Science Act, which provides incentives for semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. 
In March, it announced plans to spend <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103610/taiwan-semiconductor-doubles-down-on-us-chipmaking-165-billion-investment-set-to-reshape-tech-jobs">up to $165 billion</a> when the Trump administration threatened higher taxes and steep tariffs.

The move is seen as a strategy to insulate against global shocks.
Even beer and back-to-school aren't left out: Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>) is dropping <a href="https://www.anheuser-busch.com/newsroom/anheuser-busch-announces-new-300-million-investment-in-manufacturing-operations-across-the-US">$300 million</a> into U.S. plants, while Cra-Z-Art is <a href="https://cra-z-art.com/us-biggest-toy-maker-to-expand-domestic-factories/">scaling up local </a>toy and school supply production.

With manufacturing incentives rising and geopolitics in flux, more firms are likely to follow.
The message? Corporate America isn't just hedging—it's anchoring. Whether for security, politics, or PR, the reshoring wave is in motion.

Genesis's Litigation Oversight Committee (LOC) has filed two lawsuits against Digital Currency Group (DCG), its CEO Barry Silbert, and a group of insiders, alleging systematic fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and insider enrichment that caused over $1 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38919708/ny-ag-secures-2b-settlement-against-genesis-trading-largest-in-new-yorks-crypto-history">losses to Genesis creditors</a>.
In a <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250519165640/en/Genesis-LOCs-Two-Major-Lawsuits-Against-DCG-Barry-Silbert-and-a-Network-of-Insiders-Now-Available-to-the-Public">complaint</a> filed in the Delaware Chancery Court, the LOC claims that Silbert operated Genesis as a financing arm for DCG, engaging in off-market loans and draining assets for the benefit of Grayscale and other DCG affiliates.
The lawsuit seeks to recover over 1 million crypto coins valued at roughly $2.1 billion as of February 2025.
Benzinga has reached out to DCG for a comment.
"Silbert used Genesis to enrich himself and finance his broader cryptocurrency empire on off-market, unfair terms," the complaint states. 
It further claims Genesis had no independent governance and was exploited to execute risky trades that ultimately left the firm insolvent by the end of 2021.
A second complaint, filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on May 19, seeks recovery of over $1.2 billion in transfers to DCG and insiders made while Genesis was insolvent.

These transfers reportedly occurred during key crypto market crashes, including those involving Terra-Luna (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">LUNC</a>), 3AC, and FTX.
"Insider Defendants recovered no less than $407 million in value in just six critical weeks," the filing alleges, stating that while public statements projected solvency and strong liquidity, insiders pulled funds from the platform and exited ahead of other creditors.
Genesis creditors are said to be owed more than one million coins, and the LOC is pursuing in-kind recovery to prevent insiders from benefiting from appreciation in asset prices post-bankruptcy.
Philippe Selendy of Selendy Gay PLLC, representing the LOC, said: "The comprehensive factual allegations show a pattern of self-dealing, fraud, and mismanagement that deprived creditors of billions in value."
"Without in-kind recovery, wrongdoers—not creditors—may benefit from asset appreciation since 2022," Jennifer Selendy added.
The LOC has stated it will challenge all redactions requested by defendants in the Delaware complaint and has committed to pursuing accountability and full restitution for Genesis's retail and institutional creditors.

Genesis Accuses DCG, Barry Silbert Of Fraud, Seeks $1.2B In Crypto Transfers Made During Insolvency

Lack of communication and abrupt changes from President Donald Trump's administration have made it difficult to prepare for the rollout of the Make America Healthy Again food box initiative, according to George Matysik, executive director of Share Food Program.
&#8220;We have no details [about logistics of the MAHA food boxes], and this has been a continued challenge that we&#8217;ve had with this administration, where decisions are sort of made overnight,&#8221; said Matysik, in comments reported by <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-maha-food-box-replace-csfp-low-income-seniors/">CBS MoneyWatch</a> on May 7. He added that ongoing uncertainty is making it harder for food organizations to plan ahead.

The <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Fiscal-Year-2026-Discretionary-Budget-Request.pdf">2026 budget proposal</a> would eliminate the $425 million Commodity Supplemental Food Program, replacing it with "MAHA boxes" sourced directly from U.S. farmers, potentially impacting over <a href="https://www.ncsfpa.org/statement-in-response-to-the-presidents-fy26-discretionary-budget-request/">730,000 seniors'</a> grocery lifeline.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MAHA Boxes To Replace Shelf-Stable Support</h2>
"The boxes contain wholesome foods from domestic farms, and similar to the Farmers to Families Food Box, fresh foods," the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in an email to CBS MoneyWatch, adding that the MAHA initiative could "supplant or complement" existing programs.
According to the <a href="https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-21-353">U.S. Government Accountability Office</a>, the USDA awarded nearly $3 billion in contracts through the Farmers to Families Food Box Program. The program successfully delivered over 176 million food boxes to individuals and families in need across the country, relying on more than 200 contractors to distribute the boxes during the pandemic.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Food Programs Already Feeling The Strain</h2>
The <a href="https://www.sharefoodprogram.org/">Share Food Program</a> has provided 32-pound food boxes to more than 300,000 children and over 4,000 seniors in Philadelphia, many of whom earn less than $23,000 a year.
According to CBS MoneyWatch, Matysik challenged the Trump administration's claim that current food bank offerings are nutritionally inadequate, explaining that their boxes contain lean proteins, pasta, and canned vegetables suitable for seniors—many of whom struggle with grocery access.
He expressed concern that MAHA's emphasis on fresh, perishable food might not meet the needs of seniors who depend on shelf-stable staples. Matysik also emphasized the logistical difficulties of getting fresh produce from farms to doorsteps without dedicated infrastructure.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Funding Cuts and Ripple Effects</h2>
The MAHA proposal arrives amid broader reductions in federal nutrition aid. In March, the Trump administration redirected $1 billion in school and food bank funding toward sourcing from local producers, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/10/usda-cancels-local-food-purchasing-for-schools-food-banks-00222796">according to Politico</a>.

'We Have No Details,' Says Food Program Director As Trump's 'MAHA Boxes' Threaten 730,000 Seniors' Grocery Lifeline

Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intel" rel="noreferrer noopener">explored selling its</a> network and edge businesses to focus on its core competencies, namely PC and data center chips.
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan voiced his plans to expand and build on its core competencies during Intel&#8217;s 40th-year celebration in Computex, Taipei, Reuters reported on Tuesday. He highlighted the firm&#8217;s share of ~68% of the PC chip market and 55% of that for data centers.

Intel weighed the timing and mode of divestment of its NEX group, which makes chips for telecom equipment, Reuters reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
Intel also explored selling its networking business due to the dominance of rivals like Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Reuters reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
Intel stock has plunged over 33% in the last 12 months as it grappled with losses in its share in the data center and PC areas, which once served as its moat. It failed to tap the AI shift, akin to rivals like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Intel <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45456613/intel-cfo-says-new-chip-output-for-clients-will-be-minimal-eyes-foundry-breakeven-by-2027" rel="noreferrer noopener">fired its chief</a> Pat Gelsinger&nbsp;in 2024 after his turnaround plan to take on Taiwan Semiconductor failed to impress the board. Intel&nbsp;struggled as rivals&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) captured market share in data centers, AI, and GPUs.
Recently Intel CFO David Zinsner said&nbsp;Intel foundry is on track to break even in 2027 and would require external customers to generate low to mid-single digit billions in revenue to accomplish that.
In April, Intel&nbsp;sold a majority stake&nbsp;in its Altera unit to SilverLake for $4.46 billion.
Before the SilverLake sale, the company had been preparing to&nbsp;spin out&nbsp;Altera through a public offering under former CEO Pat Gelsinger, akin to Mobileye Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>), in 2022.
Price Actions:&nbsp;INTC stock is down 0.30% at $21.32 at last check Tuesday.
