Trident Digital Gets Nasdaq Warning After Stock Trades Below $1 for 32 Days

Former Vice President Mike Pence is urging President Donald Trump to reject a controversial $400 million Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 747-8 jumbo jet gift from Qatar&#8217;s royal family, citing national security risks and ethical concerns over what would be the largest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government.
What Happened: Pence criticized the arrangement during Sunday&#8217;s NBC <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/mike-pence-says-he-privately-warned-trump-against-tariffs-in-his-first-term-full-interview-239822917643">interview</a>, stating &#8220;Qatar has a long history of playing both sides&#8221; and arguing the gift is &#8220;inconsistent with our security, with our intelligence needs.&#8221; He called it simply &#8220;a bad idea&#8221; and urged Trump to reconsider.
The lavish aircraft, described as a &#8220;flying palace,&#8221; would serve as Trump&#8217;s Air Force One <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45340930/trumps-400-million-boeing-jet-gift-from-qatar-sparks-outcry-from-larry-summers-peter-schiff-banana-republic-level-corruption?utm_source=chatgpt.com">replacement until his term ends</a>, then transfer to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation by January 2029. 
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the arrangement, confirming it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45340930/trumps-400-million-boeing-jet-gift-from-qatar-sparks-outcry-from-larry-summers-peter-schiff-banana-republic-level-corruption?utm_source=chatgpt.com">&#8220;complies with all applicable laws&#8221;</a> while emphasizing &#8220;full transparency.&#8221;
Trump defended the transaction on Truth Social, emphasizing the plane goes to the U.S. Air Force/Defense Department &#8220;AND NOT TO ME,&#8221; claiming it saves taxpayers &#8220;hundreds of millions of dollars.&#8221; Legal assessments by the White House and Department of Justice concluded the gift doesn&#8217;t violate bribery laws or the Constitution&#8217;s emoluments clause.

Why It Matters: The controversy highlights growing concerns about foreign influence as Boeing faces ongoing Air Force One delivery delays, originally scheduled for 2024 but now expected in 2027. 
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and economist Peter Schiff have sharply <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45340930/trumps-400-million-boeing-jet-gift-from-qatar-sparks-outcry-from-larry-summers-peter-schiff-banana-republic-level-corruption?utm_source=chatgpt.com">criticized the arrangement</a>, with Summers calling it &#8220;banana-republic-level corruption&#8221; on X, questioning why universities face scrutiny for Qatari research gifts while the president can accept such presents. Schiff compared it to monarchical privilege, noting &#8220;stock brokers can&#8217;t accept gifts worth over $100.&#8221;
The timing coincides with Qatar&#8217;s massive $200 billion deal to purchase 160 Boeing jets, which economist Schiff warns could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/05/45427289/peter-schiff-warns-qatars-200-billion-boeing-deal-could-spike-us-inflation-interest-rates-says-tre?utm_source=chatgpt.com">strain U.S. bond markets</a> as Qatar may sell Treasuries to finance the purchase, potentially pushing up inflation and interest rates.

Trump's Former VP Mike Pence Calls Qatari Royal Family's Boeing Jet Gift A 'Bad Idea,' Urges President To Reject $400 Million 'Flying Palace'

Sable Offshore Corp. ("Sable," or the "Company")(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOC#NYSE">SOC</a>) today announced that as of May 15, 2025, it has restarted production at the Santa Ynez Unit ("SYU") and has begun flowing oil production to Las Flores Canyon ("LFC"). Additionally, with the completion of the Gaviota State Park anomaly repairs on the Las Flores Pipeline System (the "Onshore Pipeline") on May 18, 2025, Sable has now completed its anomaly repair program on the Onshore Pipeline as specified by the Consent Decree, the governing document for the restart and operations of the Onshore Pipeline.
Seven of the eight sections of the Onshore Pipeline have been successfully hydrotested. Sable will complete the final hydrotest in order to meet the final operational condition to restart the Onshore Pipeline as outlined in the Consent Decree. Sable expects to fill the ~540,000 barrels of crude oil storage capacity at LFC by the middle of June 2025 and subsequently recommence oil sales in July 2025.
Production Restart
<ul>
<li>On May 15, 2025, Sable initiated the flow of oil production from six wells on Platform Harmony of the SYU to LFC at a rate of ~6,000 barrels of oil per day.</li>
<li>Sable has been testing wells on Platform Harmony throughout May 2025 and the well tests have performed consistently stronger than they did at the time of shut-in on May 19, 2015 when the SYU produced approximately 45,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.</li>
<li>Approximately 30% of the 32 producing wells at Platform Harmony have been tested as of May 18, 2025 with the remaining Platform Harmony wells projected to be tested over the course of the next several days.</li>
<li>Sable expects to initiate production from the additional 44 wells on Platform Heritage and the additional 26 wells on Platform Hondo in July 2025 and August 2025, respectively.</li>

This is a 2.78 percent increase over earnings of $0.36 per share from the same period last year. The company reported $38.96 million in sales this quarter. This is a 5.41 percent increase over sales of $36.96 million the same period last year.

G. Willi-Food Intl Q1 EPS $0.37 Up From $0.36 YoY, Sales $38.96M Up From $36.96M YoY

U.S. stock futures dipped on Monday after closing higher for the day and the week on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading lower in premarket.
The S&amp;P 500 index recorded its fifth day of gains on Friday after turning positive for the year at the beginning of the previous week.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns">Moody&#8217;s Ratings downgraded</a> the United States&#8217; long-term credit rating, from Aaa to Aa1 and shifted its outlook from &#8220;negative&#8221; to &#8220;stable.&#8221;
This decision means the U.S. has now lost its top-tier &#8220;triple-A&#8221; rating from all three major credit agencies, following similar downgrades by Fitch and S&amp;P Global.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.54% and the two-year bond was at 4.00%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 91.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted in an X post that the &#8220;bear market isn&#8217;t fully recovered yet, but it is close.&#8221;
According to the data shared by him, the bear markets between November 1980 to August 1982 and March 2000 to October 2002 staged the quickest recoveries, within three months.
&#8220;Should it happen soon, this will be the quickest recovery ever from a bear or near bear market.&#8221;

Dan Niles, founder of Niles Investment Management, expects less severe market reactions this time. "Prior debt downgrades have been followed by S&amp;P drops of 8-10%," Niles noted, adding that "today, tariff rollbacks is driving a pickup in the economy &amp; the decline should be less."
Niles believes current conditions differ significantly. "Unlike in 2023 or 2011, the economic environment is improving around this debt downgrade," he wrote, citing reduced China tariffs driving trade resumption.

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) will host its annual investor day on Monday, transforming the typically strategy-focused gathering into an audition for Wall Street&#8217;s most coveted leadership role as Jamie Dimon prepares to step down as CEO within the next few years.
What Happened: Dimon, who turns 70 next year and will mark his 20th year as JPMorgan&#8217;s chief executive, announced last year he would relinquish the CEO position in less than five years. The bank&#8217;s shares have surged more than 500% since he took over in 2006, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/jpmorgan-chase-ceo-search-annual-investor-day-985dfba6">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal.
Three frontrunners have emerged in the race to lead America&#8217;s largest bank: Marianne Lake, who runs Chase Bank and its credit-card business, and the co-heads of corporate and investment bank Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh.
Lake, with her English background and accounting expertise, is widely considered the leading candidate. Known for her mastery of the bank&#8217;s financials and risk management skills, she rose through JPMorgan&#8217;s ranks after being hired from Price Waterhouse in the 1990s. Her primary challenge lies in her limited experience with corporate clients.
Petno, a former oil-and-gas banker who led JPMorgan&#8217;s commercial bank for over a decade, brings strong banking credentials but faces the task of building relationships within the newly merged investment banking division.
Rohrbaugh, despite less traditional banking experience, has transformed JPMorgan&#8217;s markets division into a revenue powerhouse and championed critical technology upgrades, the report noted.
Why It Matters: In January, JPMorgan narrowed the field when it announced COO Jennifer Piepszak <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36800536/jpmorgan-ceo-shuffles-top-managers-details">had withdrawn from consideration</a>. Another key executive, Mary Erdoes, who runs asset and wealth management, plans to maintain her current role under new leadership, serving as the bank&#8217;s &#8220;client whisperer.&#8221;
&#8220;Investors want more clarity around succession planning,&#8221; said Mike Mayo, a Wells Fargo analyst. &#8220;One of the most important purposes of this event is to showcase existing and newer management talent.&#8221;
Even after stepping down as CEO, Dimon intends to remain as chairman of the board, maintaining influence over the bank he helped build into a financial juggernaut that posted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44447865/jamie-dimon-reveals-he-will-remain-jpmorgans-ceo-for-few-more-years-jokes-he-wont-swear-this-time">record $54 billion profit last year</a>.
During a recent town hall in Texas, Dimon told employees he plans to remain CEO for a &#8220;few more years&#8221; before transitioning to the chairman role. He has previously turned down opportunities for a political career, citing family considerations, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43520561/jamie-dimon-says-he-turned-down-a-shot-at-the-presidency-as-it-means-waving-goodbye-to-my-family-but-the-jpmorgan-chief-wont-rule-out-a-future-run">though he hasn&#8217;t ruled out future possibilities</a>.

Jamie Dimon's Exit Looms, Turning JPMorgan's Investor Day Into CEO Audition: Who's Leading The Race To Succeed Wall Street's Top Boss?

On Monday, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang took center stage at Computex 2025 in Taipei with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45426637/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-expected-to-unveil-new-ai-alliances-at-computex-2025-as-geopolitical-pressures-persist-over-tech-sector">a sweeping keynote that revealed</a> the company's aggressive roadmap to power the next era of artificial intelligence — from personal AI supercomputers to an ambitious AI infrastructure hub in Taiwan.
What Happened: Speaking to a packed Taipei Music Center, Huang was wearing his trademark leather jacket. After taking the stage, he noted that among the audience at the Taipei Music Center are "my parents."&nbsp;
Huang also openly expressed his deep affection for his homeland, Taiwan. He remarked, "Taiwan, which I have been visiting for over 30 years, is the hometown of our invaluable partner corporations. We are working together to open the AI ecosystem," he stated.
The Nvidia CEO then gave a brief description of the company's journey and growth milestones over the years. "We realize now, we're an AI infrastructure company. An infrastructure company that's essential all around the world," he stated at some point while talking about the same.

Key announcements included the RTX 5060 GPU alongside a new MSI laptop equipped with the same chip, the DGX Spark desktop AI workstation, and NVLink Fusion — a groundbreaking interconnect technology that lets other chipmakers integrate Nvidia's systems into their own infrastructure.
Huang also announced that Nvidia will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45487650/nvidia-tsmc-and-apple-supplier-foxconn-partner-to-develop-taiwan-ai-supercomputer">develop AI infrastructure for a large-scale</a> supercomputing ecosystem in collaboration with Foxconn, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), and Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council, or NSTC.
The CEO also introduced Nvidia Constellation, a new office in Taipei's Beitou district.
During his presentation, Huang also shifted focus to accelerated computing, highlighting Nvidia's CUDA-X libraries as a core part of the company&#8217;s broader ecosystem. Emphasizing that Nvidia's innovation extends beyond GPUs, he showcased platforms like Earth-2 for climate modeling and Megatron Dynamo for deep learning.
In robotics, Huang showcased the Isaac Groot platform and Newton engine, enabling robots to learn real-world navigation and human-like actions via simulation. He also revealed that Nvidia's RTX Server Pro would support DeepSeek's R1 model.

Future Fund LLC's managing director, Gary Black, says that analysts may be expecting too much from Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) June Robotaxi launch in Austin.
What Happened: Sharing his thoughts, the investor initially outlined how all opinions about the company's stock performance should be encouraged, without backlash, in a Sunday evening post on the social media platform X.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Leaders in the X community should encourage both positive and negative opinions on <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24TSLA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$TSLA</a>, rather than make it personal for posting something negative. That is not how it works in the institutional community, where top analysts are expected to post both positive and negative notes… <a href="https://t.co/ZtPlFGvjfd">pic.twitter.com/ZtPlFGvjfd</a>
&mdash; Gary Black (@garyblack00) <a href="https://twitter.com/garyblack00/status/1924119502263881779?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 18, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
"Currently, Tesla's autonomy can't be operated hands off/eyes off in most areas of the country, yet many on X continue to analyze it as if it's already unsupervised (i.e., exclude the cost of a driver in their analyses)," Black said in the post.
He also outlined how the EV giant's risk distribution for the Austin Robotaxi launch was "asymmetrical" due to the company's lackluster PR. "No mishaps are expected, but even one injury or accident will get outsized negative press coverage," he said.
Black also cited data, suggesting the technology still has a ways to go before it can operate unsupervised autonomous driving optimally. Tesla's "450 miles per critical disengagement" was still well short of the "10,000 miles likely needed to be considered by investors to be considered unsupervised autonomy." He said.
Why It Matters: The autonomous driving sector is gaining momentum in the U.S. as ride-sharing company Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) announced partnerships <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45345942/gary-black-weighs-in-on-pony-ais-growth-ahead-of-earnings-report-a-recently-announced-partnership-with-uber">with Pony AI</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PONY#NASDAQ">PONY</a>) as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45162888/uber-heats-up-robotaxi-battle-against-tesla-waymo-with-may-mobility-deal">May Mobility Inc.</a>

The collaboration will focus on personal ownership of AVs.

Gary Black Thinks Expectations For Tesla's Robotaxi Launch Are Too High: 'Currently, Tesla's Autonomy Can't…'

According to an insider, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is making a foray into the $500 billion home services market by leveraging its AI capabilities and deep user data to power in-app bookings via Siri and other interfaces.
What Happened: On Thursday, Alphasense, an expert network that connects investors and researchers with subject-matter experts, shared a transcript on X featuring a conversation between an anonymous Apple employee and a client.
The Apple employee, who is familiar with the company's plans in this segment, described the opportunity as &#8220;immense,&#8221; citing the strategic potential of AI-powered personalization across service categories.
&#8220;Apple's extensive user data positions it well to personalize and streamline service recommendations and transactions directly via user devices,&#8221; the post says, noting this as a response to emerging threats from platforms like OpenAI.

The expert believes the move will have big implications for the incumbents in this space, such as Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Yelp Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YELP#NYSE">YELP</a>), and Angi Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANGI#NASDAQ">ANGI</a>).
The initiative is still under development, but Apple is said to be placing strong emphasis on reliability, especially in a sector where urgency and trust are critical. 
&#8220;We want something which is more accurate, more relevant,&#8221; they say, adding that &#8220;we cannot rely on data from six months back,&#8221; stressing the importance of verified listings, up-to-date credentials, and legitimate reviews.
The company will have to work with multiple data providers and partners to make this work, according to the expert. &#8220;Our platform would be an all-in-one solution, but underneath, we need to work with a lot of individual providers,&#8221; they say, emphasizing the need for partnering with third-party services for healthcare, events, local services, and likewise.
When discussing different potential partners for Apple, the expert backs Yelp as &#8220;the most trusted platform&#8221; due to its extensive and current listings, while also favoring HomeAdvisor ahead of Thumbtack for its reliability and transparency. &#8220;HomeAdvisor is actually a better pick,&#8221; they say.
The expert notes how lucrative this opportunity can be for the company. &#8220;It's a high-margin business,&#8221; they say. &#8220;People stick to providers they trust and are willing to subscribe.&#8221;
They also highlight the strategic advantage that Apple holds over OpenAI and other software-only platforms, that is a direct relationship with hundreds of millions of users through iPhones, iOS, Safari, and Maps, plus the infrastructure for native payments. 
&#8220;We are the consumer's company," they say. &#8220;This can be one of the additional services we try to integrate.&#8221;

Why It Matters: So far, Apple has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45486193/why-is-apple-still-behind-on-ai-expert-dissects-reasons-behind-iphone-maker-lagging-likes-of-microsoft-and-amazon-despite-poaching-googles-ai-chief">lagged behind peers</a> when it comes to AI, with Eddy Cue, a senior executive, having reportedly said that AI could do to Apple what the tech giant did to Nokia.
The company has since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45029758/apples-ai-team-undergoes-major-restructuring-amidst-performance-concerns">restructured its AI team</a>, with Siri being handed over to Mike Rockwell, who previously headed the Vision Pro division.

Price Action: Apple shares were largely flat, down just 0.09% on Friday, ending at $211.26 per share. They are down 1.81% pre-market and 6.64% year-to-date.

Apple's AI-Powered Home Services Strategy Could Upend Yelp, Angi, Alphabet: Insider Says Trust, Data And UX Key In This $500 Billion Market

Cybersecurity firm DTEX has compared North Korea&#8217;s cybercrime operations to a mafia organization controlled by Kim Jong Un. The operations involve a global network of North Korean technologists who infiltrate Fortune 500 companies and launder money to support Kim&#8217;s nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions.
What Happened: North Korea has intensified its strategy this year by enlisting 90 top graduates for an AI research center, while also requiring them to hand over twice their monthly earnings. This development coincides with efforts towards laundering $1.5 billion stolen in a cryptocurrency exchange hack earlier this year, <a href="https://reports.dtexsystems.com/DTEX-Exposing+DPRK+Cyber+Syndicate+and+Hidden+IT+Workforce.pdf?_gl=1&#x2A;16ngf3n&#x2A;_gcl_aw&#x2A;R0NMLjE3NDY0NzEwMjQuQ2owS0NRand0OHpBQmhES0FSSXNBSFh1RDdaT1FkeS1SWTRXbDZVZHU4a2JCZHpVR0stNmlLRy1Lakh1Y3RnbkJYREdCQ2ZnamNtbGlfZ2FBakUxRUFMd193Y0I.&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;OTYxMjM2ODE2LjE3NDQwNjkwNzE.">revealed </a>the report.
These IT workers, who are part of the regime's cyber cartel, collaborate with malicious North Korean Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups linked to the Korean People's Army. According to UN estimates, the IT workers generate between $250 million and $600 million annually, while the APTs have stolen at least $3 billion in cryptocurrency.
Many of these IT workers and APT actors, having trained together at elite institutions such as Kim Sung Il Military University and Kumsong Academy, are familiar with one another. This network of operatives, referred to as a "bro network," is a crucial part of the cybercrime operations.
The report highlights that North Korean workers are forced to compete under brutal conditions—working up to 16 hours a day, six days a week—with minimal breaks. They keep less than 20% of their earnings and must cover costs for operations and equipment themselves, while the main beneficiaries are Kim Jong Un's family and the North Korean elite.

But Claims The Media&#8217;s Silent—&#8217;They Want You Addicted To Fear&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: Earlier this year, it was reported that thousands of North Korean IT workers were impersonating Americans to land jobs at Fortune 500 companies, with their earnings being used to fund Kim Jong Un‘s illicit weapons programs. They were leveraging advanced AI to <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/04/44678849/north-korean-it-workers-impersonating-americans-to-land-jobs-at-fortune-500-companies-to-fund-kim-jong-uns-weapons-program-report">alter </a>their appearances and voices and even managing to hold multiple jobs simultaneously, thereby increasing the amount of money funneled back to North Korea.
Furthermore, North Korean hackers infiltrated the U.S. corporate system to launch a malware campaign aimed at crypto developers. They set up fake companies using <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44999851/north-korea-spies-used-fake-us-firms-to-hack-crypto-developers-report">fake names </a>and addresses in the US to carry out their operations.
Moreover, in March, North Korea, with the help of the infamous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44349644/kim-jong-uns-north-korea-backed-lazarus-group-now-has-more-bitcoin-than-el-salvador">hacking syndicate</a> Lazarus Group, has quietly become one of the biggest holders of Bitcoin. The stash was valued at more than double the amount held by El Salvador, the well-known Bitcoin-friendly country.
