UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) is demanding swift repayment of $8.9 billion in emergency loans it issued to medical providers following a massive cyberattack on its subsidiary, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/02/37284799/whats-going-on-with-uanitedhealth-stock-friday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Change Healthcare, last year</a>.
The shutdown of Change Healthcare's systems triggered a healthcare crisis, halting medical claims&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/04/38388554/patient-data-compromised-unitedhealth-group-admits-ransom-payment-in-cyberattack" rel="noreferrer noopener">processing for millions of transactions</a>.

Benzinga emailed United Healthcare for comment on UnitedHealth&#8217;s push for loan repayments and has not heard back.
The cyberattack on&nbsp;Change Healthcare temporarily shut down services that process about 50% of all&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/04/38110751/unitedhealths-change-healthcare-seeks-consolidation-of-cyberattack-lawsuits-in-nashville-court" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. medical claims</a>.
The hack affected around 900,000 doctors, 33,000 pharmacies, 5,500 hospitals and 600 labs. Although the claims system and other services are gradually being restored, the aftermath <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/06/39190002/post-unitedhealth-cyberattack-community-health-centers-face-prolonged-disruption" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">burdened healthcare providers</a>.
The Wall Street Journal on Friday wrote that providers could not process claims, leading to cash flow issues which made it challenging to cover payroll and operating expenses.

In response, UnitedHealth, through its Optum unit, offered interest-free loans via a Temporary Funding Assistance Program, disbursing around $8.9 billion to support providers.
Despite earlier assurances that repayments would be flexible, some healthcare providers now say the company is aggressively pursuing repayments, even as they continue to struggle financially from the fallout.
The WSJ report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/unitedhealth-group-sends-demands-for-hack-loan-repayments-9a26376c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">adds</a> that UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty testified before the Senate Finance Committee in May 2024 that repayments would begin after providers confirmed their finances had stabilized and claims <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38563578/us-senate-grills-unitedhealth-ceo-over-cyberattack-fallout-ransom-payment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">backlogs were resolved</a>.
They would then have 45 business days to start repayments. As of October, the company had recovered approximately $3.2 billion of the loaned funds.
However, several providers report being blindsided by sudden repayment demands.
A Change Healthcare spokesperson defended the company's actions, comparing its loan recovery efforts to those by federal agencies following the hack. The spokesperson said Optum continues to reach out to providers and is working on repayment options for those who haven&#8217;t responded.
In December 2024, the Nebraska Attorney General&nbsp;filed&nbsp;a lawsuit against UnitedHealth and its subsidiaries, alleging violations of consumer protection laws following the breach, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/12/42621731/nebraska-attorney-general-sues-unitedhealth-over-massive-data-breach-that-disrupted-healthcare" rel="noreferrer noopener">which affected 575,000 Nebraskans</a>.

The insurance giant has garnered immense attention following the murder of its insurance unit CEO Brian Thompson in New York.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

In the current market session, Oracle Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) share price is at $135.40, after a 0.56% spike.

<h3>Oracle P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Oracle has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 73.31 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744736427_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Applied Digital Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APLD#NASDAQ">APLD</a>) shares are tumbling on Tuesday after the company reported weak revenue for the third quarter. Multiple analysts cut price targets in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44801161/applied-digital-reports-fiscal-third-quarter-2025-results">wake of earnings</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q3 Revenue: $52.9 million,&nbsp;versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $63.42 million</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q3 EPS: Loss of 8 cents, versus estimates for loss of 11 cents</li>
</ul>
Applied Digital reported total revenue growth of 22% year-over-year as Cloud Services revenue boomed 220% to $17.8 million. The company&#8217;s Data Center Hosting business generated $35.2 million in revenue during the quarter, down 7% year-over-year.
Applied Digital reported third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $10 million, versus a loss of $1.3 million in the prior year's quarter. The digital infrastructure company ended&nbsp;the quarter with $261.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.
"We are confident in the progress we are making and remain committed to delivering sustainable, long-term value for our investors," said&nbsp;Wes Cummins, chairman and CEO of Applied Digital.

Wall Street analysts view Applied Digital on the whole as a Buy, given the history of coverage over the past three months.

In the past three months, Applied Digital fell 54.56%, which indicates that opinion soured on the business and how attractive it is to own based on either its stock price, or underlying fundamentals, like revenue, which rose 22.08% over the past year.

Deluxe Partners With Bonko To Streamline Payment Processing and Reconciliation For Independent Agents

Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>)(TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABX#TSX">ABX</a>) confirms that it has continued to engage in good faith with the Government of Mali to finalise an agreement that was fully negotiated and accepted by the Ministry of Finance in February 2025.
From the outset of its engagement, Barrick has worked to find a constructive solution. In October 2024, it agreed to a framework aimed at achieving a comprehensive resolution of all outstanding disputes and paid $85 million as part of the ongoing negotiations.
Despite this, the Government subsequently took a series of escalatory actions, including the arrest of Barrick employees – who remain unfairly in detention – and the suspension of gold shipments.
More recently, although Barrick signed the agreement presented by the Government as requested in February, the Government has failed to execute it. Its conclusion now appears to be obstructed by a small group of individuals placing personal or political interests above the long-term interests of Mali and its people.
This week, departments within the Government escalated matters by closing Barrick's Bamako office and threatening to place the Loulo-Gounkoto mine under provisional administration unless the mine was reopened and tax payments were made – even though gold exports remain blocked.
It is regrettable that the Government continues to obstruct gold exports while simultaneously demanding tax payments on revenue it has actively prevented from being realised.
Barrick remains ready to honour the agreement envisioned by both partners and stands prepared to immediately restart production. This would unlock substantial revenue for the country, including tax and royalty flows that form a very significant part of the national budget. This would also see the dropping of unfounded criminal charges against its employees and their release from detention.
The consequences of the Government's continued inaction are serious both from an economic and human angle. The long-term viability of one of Mali's most strategic mining assets and a key contributor to the national economy is at risk. Barrick brings the unique expertise required to successfully operate this world-class mine. In addition, four innocent Malian citizens continue to be deprived of their freedom, without any justification nor prospect for a quick solution.
Barrick has long been a committed partner to the people of Mali and a reliable corporate citizen, consistently supporting local content and economic development, even in times of uncertainty. As private banks face mounting pressure to keep the country afloat, Barrick has continued to meet its obligations in good faith, paying wages, sustaining workers and contractors' livelihoods as well as the broader supply chain. However, this situation is not sustainable for the longer term.
While Barrick continues to seek a constructive solution, it remains prepared to pursue international arbitration and legal remedies against the Government and any individuals or entities, acting in bad faith.
Barrick urges the Government of Mali to act now in the interest of its people and the national economy by concluding the agreement which stands ready to be implemented.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) shares spiked at the open on Tuesday following reports that Elliott Investment Management has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44815439/netflix-ericsson-hewlett-packard-enterprise-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-monday">built a stake in the company.</a>
What Happened: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-15/elliott-is-said-to-take-over-1-5-billion-stake-in-hp-enterprise?embedded-checkout=true">report</a> citing those familiar with the matter, Elliott Investment Management has built a stake in Hewlett Packard Enterprise valued at more than $1.5 billion.
The activist firm reportedly plans to engage with Hewlett Packard Enterprise in an attempt to boost the value of the company&#8217;s stock. There were no further details shared on Elliott&#8217;s exact intentions.
The report indicates that Elliott&#8217;s stake makes the activist firm one of the company&#8217;s top five shareholders. The company had a total market capitalization of approximately $18.75 billion as of Monday&#8217;s close, according to<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga Pro</a>.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares are down nearly 30% year-to-date, even with Tuesday&#8217;s pop of approximately 5% following the activist stake reports. 
Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares tumbled last month after the company issued soft guidance for the current quarter, citing tariff uncertainty, margin concerns on servers and execution problems. 
Hewlett Packard Enterprise guided for second-quarter revenue of $7.2 billion to $7.6 billion, versus estimates of $7.93 billion. The company also forecasted adjusted earnings of 28 cents to 34 cents per share, well below estimates of 50 cents per share.
Several analysts slashed price targets following Hewlett Packard Enterprise&#8217;s quarterly results, pointing to the software and networking&nbsp;company&#8217;s &#8220;disappointing&#8221; outlook.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is HPE A Good Stock To Buy?</h3>
An investor or trader's decision to buy or sell a stock is unique to their time horizon and risk tolerance. Many typical investors evaluate earnings growth and valuation on a particular stock before making a decision. 
On the valuation side, Hewlett Packard's price-to-earnings ratio &#8211; a measure of how much an investor pays for the company's earnings &#8211; is compressed 23.98% in the current quarter when compared with last year. That places it below similar businesses in its sector like Apple, Dell Technologies, and HP. You'll need to decide whether that makes it more or less attractive based on how you think the company will perform over time.
There are many different valuation metrics that may help you make a decision. Find more on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HPE">Hewlett Packard's quote page</a>, or if you'd like a deeper dive in an advanced program, try <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a> for free.
HPE Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/hpe">Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares</a> were up 4.55% at $14.94 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Stock Jumps As Elliott Investment Management Builds $1.5B Stake

It takes a few years before you learn the most important words in investing (and most of life as well).
&#8220;I do not know.&#8221;
What is the market going to do over the next year?
I do not know.
How long will the trade war last?
I do not know.
No one knew that the Trump Administration would announce the level they did.
No one knew how the markets would respond.
I did not talk to one single person who thought he might pause the reciprocal tariffs.
No one knew, or even suspected, that Deep Seek would come out of nowhere to challenge the AI storyline.
What is the next breakthrough in technology?
I do not know.
Will AI reach Artificial General Intelligence?
I do not know.
If it does reach AGI, when will it happen?
I do not know.
As investors, we need to focus on what we can know.
What are we paying for assets owned by the business and the cash flow produced by operations?
That we can figure out quickly.
Once we know that, we can plan accordingly.
If a company is trading at a high multiple of earnings and assets, then we know everyone expects the good times to continue.
Everyone loves the company and everyone owns the stock.
Any surprises are likely to be negative and cause the price of the stock to drop precipitously as surprised and disappointed shareholders head for the exits.
If the valuation is low, then we can determine that no one expects anything good to happen and very few people own the stock.
Any surprises will likely be positive.
The unexpected positive news will bring buyers into the stock, and the resulting buying pressure will push the share price higher.
Unless you are an insider with some influence over the outcome, it makes more sense to own a collection of businesses trading at low valuations where the inevitable surprises can deliver large returns.
Owning what everyone else does will deliver at best average returns.
When we are in an environment like we are today where the average returns are likely to be quite low, the popular expensive stocks can deliver large doses of disappointment.
The furniture business is not at the top of anyone&#8217;s excitement list.
That&#8217;s especially true given that the proposed tariffs would have a negative impact on many furniture companies.
The layoffs in companies that sell to government also contribute to a lackluster environment for furniture and furniture stocks.
There is no one on CNBC or on the internet touting the exciting opportunity in couches and dining room tables.
Shares of Ethan Allen Interiors(Ticker: ETH), one of the higher quality furniture companies, have been bouncing around in a range for a long time now.
Ethan Allen is one of the leading furniture retailers in the United States and has been around since 1932.
Ethan Allen will be far less impacted by potential tariffs as 75% of their products are made in the United States.
No one is excited about the stock.
As a result, the shares trade at less than 8 times the cash being produced by the business.
A good portion of that cash is being returned to shareholders as a dividend.
Ethan Allen shares currently yield over 5%.
The company has been generous about sharing wealth and has grown the payout by about 15% annually over the past several years.
No one is expecting much from the company, and any positive news could send the stock higher quickly.
Growing earnings and modest multiple expansion over the next several years, along with the dividend, should help deliver excellent long-term total returns from current levels.
No one appears to expect much from shares of TEGNA (Ticker: TGNA) either.
There have been two failed takeover attempts over the past several years and they are in a boring business.
TEGNA operates a portfolio of television stations and digital properties across the United States. The company owns 64 television stations in 51 markets, reaching approximately one-third of all television households nationwide.
TEGNA&#8217;s stations operate under various network affiliations including NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX.
The stock is currently trading at less than six times the cash produced by the business.
Any good news or positive announcement will bring buyers back into the stock and push prices higher.
There is a 3.17% dividend yield to collect while you wait for good things to happen.
Management has consistently increased the payout by more than 10% annually for the past five years.
No one knows what will happen next.
We do know that there will probably be surprises and events we never saw coming.
It makes sense to own businesses where the surprises are likely to be positive and lead to a surge of buying interest.
Doing what everyone else does sets the stage for negative surprises.
I prefer positive ones.
