Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFRM#NASDAQ">AFRM</a>) shares edged higher on Thursday following the announcement of an expanded partnership with travel search giant KAYAK, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45563681/kayak-and-affirm-expand-exclusive-partnership-into-canada" rel="noreferrer noopener">marking the duo's entrance into the Canadian market.</a>
Timed with the summer travel surge, the collaboration allows Canadian users on ca.KAYAK.com to break up travel expenses into manageable monthly installments via Affirm's flexible payment platform.
The two companies initially teamed up in the U.S. in early 2023 to provide installment-based travel financing, and the move north expands access to travelers seeking greater financial control at checkout.

Under the new arrangement, eligible Canadian KAYAK users can select Affirm at checkout to finance flights, lodging, and vehicle bookings.
A swift approval process determines eligibility in real time, enabling consumers to customize a payment schedule that suits their budget—without late fees or hidden costs.
"Consumers are increasingly turning to Affirm when booking their flights, hotels, rides, and more as flexible payment options remain a top priority for travellers across Canada," said Wayne Pommen, Chief Revenue Officer at Affirm.
Paul Jacobs, general manager and senior vice president of KAYAK North America, highlighted the appeal, noting that with international airfares averaging over $1,200, Affirm offers a practical solution for Canadians planning bucket-list trips with less financial strain.
The Canadian launch adds to Affirm's growing global footprint.
The company said it is now integrated at checkout with over 350,000 merchants, including popular travel platforms such as Agoda, Booking.com, and Priceline.
In Canada, Affirm said its services are already featured by major retailers including Amazon, Apple, Samsung, and CheapOair.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, AFRM stock has gained over 57% in the past year.

Strauss estimates Intuitive&#8217;s revenue to grow at a compound annual rate of 20%–25%, reaching around $500 million by 2028.
The analyst expects EBITDA to turn positive in the second half of 2026 and increase to $62 million in 2028, with margins exceeding 10% by 2028.
Following its recent equity raise and warrant redemption, Intuitive Machines holds nearly $400 million in cash and carries no debt, notes the analyst.
Strauss anticipates the company will continue to use free cash flow through 2028.

In the debut episode of the "Lost Boys" <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y-BthkZQEE">podcast</a>, co-host and professor Scott Galloway put it plainly: &#8220;When men don't have money, they're just less attractive. That's more of a hit to them than it is to women.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Crisis of Purpose for Young Men</h2>
Galloway shared his own experience of growing up with limited prospects, saying that government programs and education helped change his trajectory. But he worries that today's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44532343/joe-rogan-says-social-safety-nets-are-very-important-for-people-he-calls-the-bootstraps-mentality-horsesht">safety nets</a> are weaker. &#8220;Had I been that kid today, I worry the outcome would have been different,&#8221; he said.

</ul>
The &#8220;Lost Boys&#8221; podcast—hosted by Galloway and Anthony Scaramucci—dives into the broader struggles of young men, featuring author Richard Reeves. The group argues that young men today are falling behind not just economically but socially, and emotionally.
Reeves, who authored the book &#8220;Of Boys and Men,&#8221; noted that many young men today are adrift due to the absence of a clear path forward. "We tore up the old script for men, which was breadwinner, head of household, etc., and we didn't replace it with anything," Reeves said. &#8220;And so what that means is a lot of men now feel that they're basically improvising. They basically don&#8217;t have a script.&#8221;
The numbers back up their concerns. According to a May 2024 Pew Research Center <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2024/05/23/is-college-worth-it-2/">analysis</a>, young men between the ages of 25 and 34 without college degrees earned a median income of $45,000 in 2023. That's up 15% from 2014, but still 22% lower than what men of the same age earned in 1973 when adjusted for inflation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Doubts About the Value of a Degree Are Rising</h2>
&#8220;In the grand scheme of things, young, less educated men aren&#8217;t where they were 50 years ago,&#8221; Pew economist Richard Fry told <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/college-degree-income-is-college-worth-it-pew/">CBS MoneyWatch</a>. He added that in the 1970s, these men were more likely to be union members and work in manufacturing jobs—industries that have since shrunk.
Meanwhile, college graduates continue to outpace their peers in earnings and wealth. Young male college grads today earn around $77,000 annually, while women with degrees make about $65,000. College grads also have an average <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45271981/are-you-richer-than-your-peers-heres-the-net-worth-it-takes-at-every-age-to-be-in-the-top-10">net worth</a> of $120,000, compared to $31,000 for those with just a high school diploma.
&#8220;Higher education generates higher wealth,&#8221; Fry said. &#8220;Families with college-educated heads have a higher homeownership rate. And college-educated adults are more likely to have access to 401(k)s and 403(b)s.&#8221;
Still, Galloway argued that the issue isn't just about education. It's also about identity and purpose. &#8220;You really got to keep an eye on the boy,&#8221; he said, referencing how family breakdowns and economic instability can hit young men particularly hard. &#8220;They're actually weaker as humans.&#8221;

Reeves pointed to the lack of male role models in schools, communities and even homes. &#8220;The teaching profession has become very gendered,&#8221; Reeves said. Only 23% of teachers today are men, down from 33% in the 1980s, he noted.
Despite some gains in the labor market for young men without degrees, both Pew&#8217;s data and the &#8220;Lost Boys&#8221; podcast underscore a growing concern: without direction, support and economic opportunity, many young men are at risk of falling further behind.
Half of Americans agree that college is worth the money only if you don't have to go into debt. According to Pew, just 22% of Americans believe a degree is a good investment if it requires borrowing.
That skepticism is strongest among Republicans, six in 10 of whom now believe a college degree is less important than it was 20 years ago.

Dow Moves Higher; US Initial Jobless Claims Fall

A federal judge has compelled the Trump administration to rehire more than 1,300 employees of the U.S. Department of Education. This comes after the department implemented a significant workforce reduction.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston issued a preliminary injunction on Thursday that ordered the reinstatement of the dismissed employees, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/education-department-employees-must-be-reinstated-by-trump-judge.html">CNBC </a>reports. The Department of Education had previously announced a staff reduction on March 11 that would have halved the department&#8217;s workforce.
Judge Joun stressed the necessity for the Department to be able to carry out its functions and obligations, as well as other relevant statutes as directed by Congress. The staff cuts resulted in the closure of seven out of 12 offices that enforce civil rights, safeguarding students from discrimination based on race, sex and disability.

The U.S. Department of Education, established in 1979 by former President Jimmy Carter, has faced numerous challenges over the years. Former President Ronald Reagan had called for its termination, and President Donald Trump attempted&nbsp;to merge it with the&nbsp;Labor Department during his first term, according to CNBC.
Why It Matters: In April, Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at reshaping U.S. education policy across <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/04/45005327/trump-pushes-ai-education-in-schools-rolling-back-obama-era-policies-and-cracking-down-on-foreign-funds-ai-seems-to-be-where-its-at">K-12 and higher education</a>.
These directives included promoting artificial intelligence education in schools and reformulating college accreditation standards, among others. The recent order to reinstate the dismissed employees could impact the implementation of these directives.

In a market where megawatts are the new megatrend, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">Amplify ETFs</a>, in partnership with Samsung Asset Management, rolled out a timely new product on Tuesday, the Amplify Samsung U.S. Natural Gas Infrastructure ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USNG#NYSE">USNG</a>). This actively managed fund is designed to tap into America's rapidly evolving natural gas scene, just as the country faces surging energy demands, a digital economy with an insatiable appetite, and a declared National Energy Emergency.
USNG offers exposure to 20–25 U.S.-listed stocks across upstream, midstream, and downstream natural gas operations. It intentionally tilts toward midstream companies, those that handle the essential work of transporting, storing, distributing, and marketing gas. These companies form the industry&#8217;s infrastructure backbone, and in an era of energy insecurity and electrification, they&#8217;re poised to be in high demand.

With projections pointing to a 50% spike in U.S. natural gas demand over the next five years, driven largely by power-hungry data centers and AI infrastructure, USNG launches at a pivotal moment. On the global front, U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are forecast to grow by 19% in 2025 and 15% in 2026, reinforcing the country&#8217;s status as a top LNG exporter and boosting the entire natural gas value chain.
The fund is <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/05/20/3084696/0/en/Amplify-ETFs-Launches-the-Amplify-Samsung-U-S-Natural-Gas-Infrastructure-ETF-USNG.html">guided </a>by a Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) strategy. Stock selection is informed by a blend of macro trends, sector analysis, and individual company performance. 
Top holdings at launch include Kinder Morgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>), Williams Cos (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMB#NYSE">WMB</a>), MPLX LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPLX#NYSE">MPLX</a>), and Energy Transfer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ET#NYSE">ET</a>), among others. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.59%.
With natural gas now playing a starring role in the U.S.&#8217;s energy policy playbook, and capital flooding into infrastructure projects, USNG provides a timely and targeted entry point for investors betting on the backbone of America's energy future.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) touched a new all-time high of $111,903 on Wednesday, with Skybridge Capital's Anthony Scaramucci attributing the move to a convergence of regulatory progress <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45569140/bitcoin-cash-rises-amid-broader-crypto-rally-whats-going-on">and macroeconomic disillusionment</a>.
What Happened: Speaking with CNBC, the hedge fund manager highlighted both bipartisan momentum in U.S. crypto legislation and growing global interest in sovereign Bitcoin reserves as key drivers.
Scaramucci <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/05/22/stablecoins-will-lower-the-cost-of-transactions-and-help-u-s-dollar-supremacy-anthony-scaramucci.html">pointed</a> to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45510057/senate-crypto-bill-passes-key-vote-genius-act-moves-toward-final-passage">GENIUS Act</a> and a pending stablecoin bill as legislative catalysts. "It's a bipartisan act and I think it's putting to bed the idea that we're going to have a partisan issue around regulation in Bitcoin," he said.
He added that these developments are opening the door for broader institutional adoption. 
"It also opens up pathways for foundations, endowments, institutional investors," Scaramucci noted, comparing Bitcoin's current status to the Dow Jones Industrial Average of crypto markets.
Bitcoin's price action, he explained, is being driven by limited supply and growing interest from allocators seeking to hedge against U.S. fiscal policy. 
"It's thinly volume in terms of the amount of supply that's out there and that's what's pushing the price up so aggressively," he said.

Why It Matters: Scaramucci also addressed the structural backdrop, noting growing distrust in central bank policy.
"If Bitcoin explodes and becomes an asset as a store of value or potential global currency&#8230; it sort of takes the drunk driving, takes the keys away from the central bankers," he said.
He acknowledged recent political developments including a controversial crypto dinner hosted by President Donald Trump, saying, "It doesn't feel right to a lot of people&#8230; it makes people think of the unseemly side of the blockchain."
On stablecoins, Scaramucci was bullish, calling them critical for financial efficiency and dollar strength. "I think that you'll lower the cost of transactions globally and you'll help the unbanked," he said. 
He emphasized their potential role in preserving dollar supremacy, noting that firms like Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and Circle (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) are already major holders of U.S. Treasuries.
Looking ahead, he predicted stablecoins could eventually replace credit card payments. 
"You'll come to the hunting fish club, you'll pay with a stablecoin and you'll avoid the 3.5% credit card fee," he said.
