Roku Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

After cutting the federal funds rate three straight times to end 2024, the Federal Reserve left <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43316048/fed-holds-interest-rates-steady-halts-streak-of-consecutive-cuts-as-inflation-remains-elevated">rates unchanged in January</a>.
A new Benzinga reader poll asks which Magnificent 7 stock could be most hurt by the decision.
What Happened: The Fed kept the federal funds rate steady in January at 4.25% to 4.5%, a decision that comes after three straight cuts totaling 100 basis points in 2024.
Cutting interest rates can help make borrowing more affordable and can lead to economic growth.
The Magnificent Seven stocks are among the largest companies in the world and can sometimes be insulated from economic pressures. Better borrowing rates could be more attractive to some of the companies that sell more expensive items.
"Which Magnificent 7 stock will be most negatively impacted by the Fed's rate decision?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): 39%</li>
<li>NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): 30%</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>): 9%</li>
<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>): 9%</li>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): 8%</li>
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>): 5%</li>
<li>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>): 0%</li>
</ul>
Tesla won the poll with 39% saying the stock would be impacted the worst by the Fed's decision. This is likely due to borrowing rates and Tesla having more expensive items than the other stocks. Ranking second was Nvidia, a company that likely benefits from other companies seeing growth as it supplies products to both companies and consumers.
The poll found Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and Meta having similar impacts based on readers' opinions.
Alphabet received no votes in the poll, which could suggest the company will benefit or not be negatively impacted at all by Fed rate cut decisions.

Why It's Important: With the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to keep rates steady,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43319060/first-rate-cut-in-june-if-at-all-in-2025-economist-says-as-federal-reserve-holds-rates-steady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">economists now predict&nbsp;</a>that the first&nbsp;rate cut will not come until June or later, with a 30% chance in March, a 45% chance in June, and a 28% chance in September.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43395891/was-feds-decision-to-keep-rates-steady-the-right-move-72-say">Benzinga also asked</a> if the Fed's decision was correct. The majority of readers (72%) said the Fed's decision to keep rates steady was the current one with 22% saying they should have cut rates and 5% saying the Fed should have raised rates.
The Fed&#8217;s statement said that &#8220;economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace&#8221; and said inflation was moving closer to the 2% target. While the Fed talked positively about inflation progress, they noted that the metric &#8220;remains somewhat elevated,&#8221; which was less positive than comments at the December meeting.
President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has been calling for more rate cuts and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43332996/trump-slams-feds-terrible-job-on-bank-regulation-after-rate-hold-vows-to-unleash-lending-for-all-ame" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">spoke out after</a>&nbsp;the Fed&#8217;s decision Wednesday.
&#8220;The Fed has done a terrible job on Bank Regulation,&#8221; Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The president promised that his administration would &#8220;unleash lending for all American people and businesses.&#8221;
The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for March 18-March 19, which could see the Fed deciding to keep rates unchanged again or making another cut.

Trump Says Nothing Can Be Done By China, Mexico And Canada Right Now To Forestall Tariffs; Says We May Increase Tariffs, Not Looking For Concession

President Donald Trump went through with his plans to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico. This tariff, along with that on Canada (25%) and China (10%), goes into effect on Saturday. This move is expected to impact companies that rely heavily on Mexican car parts. 
Automakers such as General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) export vehicles from its Mexican plant to North America, according to a Reuters report. The report also suggested that other U.S. auto manufacturers likely to take a hit are Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), which are among the top U.S. producers in Mexico. 
Needless to say, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs focusing on the automotive sector</a> are facing significant challenges. Here are three such ETFs that are in focus right now:
First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXR#NASDAQ">FTXR</a>): This ETF provides exposure to transportation companies, including major automakers and auto parts suppliers. Companies such as General Motors and Ford are part of its portfolio. According to a recent report by <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/898955/mexico-motor-vehicle-production-brand/#:~:text=In%202024%2C%20the%20number%20of,the%20American%20company%20General%20Motors.">Statista</a>, in 2024, &#8220;The number of light vehicles produced in Mexico reached nearly four million units, from which roughly 22.3% were produced by the American company General Motors.&#8221;
Firms such as Tesla, which announced a new plant in Nuevo León, Mexico, are among its holdings.
Global X Autonomous &amp; Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRIV#NASDAQ">DRIV</a>): Focusing on the future of the auto industry, this fund includes companies involved in electric and autonomous vehicles. Ford is among the top holdings of this ETF.
iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDRV#NYSE">IDRV</a>): This ETF targets companies engaged in electric vehicles and self-driving technologies. It includes automakers and parts suppliers with operations in Mexico, such as Volkswagen, making it susceptible to the proposed tariffs. Notably, Volkswagen exported 109,735 light vehicles from Mexico to North America from January to July 2024, per the Mexican Automotive Manufacturers Association, as reported by Reuters.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Impact Of The Proposed Tariffs</h1>
In November last year, Bernstein analyst Daniel Roeska wrote in a note that Volkswagen, Stellantis, General Motors and Ford would be the hardest hit. "A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada would severely cripple the U.S. auto industry," he said.
An earlier <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-prices-inflation-mexico-canada-d44aa0715a649998195fc3211e9ab7a3">report </a>from the Associated Press said that General Motors imports approximately 30% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. from Canada and Mexico. About 55% of their popular pickup trucks also are imported from Mexico and Canada. The bottom line of General Motors and other automakers are expected to be affected.
According to International Trade Administration, Mexico is the world&#8217;s seventh-largest passenger vehicle <a href="https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/mexico-automotive-industry#:~:text=Leading%20Sub%2DSectors%20and%20Opportunities,Tech%20Top%20Export%20Market%20Ranking.">manufacturer</a>, producing 3.5 million vehicles annually. Eighty-eight percent of vehicles produced in Mexico are exported, of which 76% come to the U.S.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Deep Integration Of North American Auto Supply Chains</h1>
Decades of free trade have deeply integrated the automotive industries of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. According to <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/seven-charts-show-how-us-tariffs-would-harm-american-auto-industry#:~:text=Mexico%20and%20Canada%20Are%20the,%2C%22%20US%20International%20Trade%20Commission.">research </a>from the Cato Institute, Mexico and Canada together account for nearly half of U.S. imports and exports of motor vehicles and parts. 
This means that a tariff increase wouldn't just raise costs for American consumers and manufacturers — it could also trigger retaliatory actions from Mexico and Canada, potentially reducing U.S. car exports.
Also, vehicles assembled in Mexico often contain a high percentage of American-made components. A 2019 study found that nearly 74% of the foreign value-added in cars imported from Mexico came from the U.S. Another analysis from the Peterson Institute for International Economics estimated that 38% of the total value-added of vehicles imported from Mexico was American-made. If Mexico retaliates, this can spell bad news for the U.S. as well.
Simply put, slapping a 25% tariff on cars &#8220;made in Mexico&#8221; could inadvertently harm U.S. workers and businesses involved in supplying these vehicles. 
The stakes of the disruption of an already intertwined supply chain is quite high. Investors invested in such ETFs should keep a close eye on developments, and keep in mind that the tariffs could weigh heavy on the profitability of the underlying companies.

3 U.S. Auto ETFs Caught In The Crosshairs As Trump Announces 25% Tariff On Mexican Imports

Editor&#8217;s Note: This article has been updated to correctly attribute the tariff announcement to the Trump administration.
U.S. equity indices reversed earlier gains and fell into negative territory during Friday afternoon trading in New York after the White House confirmed that new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China would take effect on Saturday, escalating trade tensions with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43401971/white-house-confirms-tariffs-on-key-us-trade-partners-this-weekend">country's three largest suppliers.</a>
The S&amp;P 500—tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)—fell 1%, sliding from 6,120 points at midday to 6,045 points by 2:45 p.m. ET.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.8% to 44,530 points, while the Nasdaq 100—tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)—fell 1.5%, reversing an earlier 1.3% gain.
Sector-wise, the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) deepened its losses, sliding 2.9%. Meanwhile, the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLC#NYSE">XLC</a>) was the only sector still in positive territory, up 0.3%, though it had pared earlier gains.
The Trump administration is imposing a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, along with a 10% duty on Chinese imports. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the measure responds to these nations&#8217; alleged role in allowing illegal fentanyl to enter the U.S.
A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43398182/trumps-25-tariffs-could-slaughter-canada-mexico-economies-hit-us-auto-industry-analysts-warn">Goldman Sachs research note</a> published Friday estimated that GDP in Canada and Mexico could decline by 1% to 4%, with consumer prices rising up to 2% due to increased import costs.
For the U.S., the new tariffs would raise the overall tariff rate by 7.3 percentage points, resulting in a 0.7% increase in core personal consumption expenditures prices, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, and a 0.4% drag on U.S. GDP growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dollar Reigns Supreme, Canadian Dollar Nears 9-Year Lows</h3>
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar strengthened against all major counterparts, particularly against those most affected by the tariff announcement.
The greenback surged past 1.4520 against the Canadian dollar, on track to close the session at its highest level since January 2016.
The dollar erased earlier losses against the Mexican peso and gained 0.3% against the Chinese yuan.
A broader measure of dollar strength, as broadly followed by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), was up 0.3%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bond Yields Surge, Gold Retreats, Bitcoin Slumps</h3>
Treasury yields spiked, reflecting investor concerns over the inflationary impact of tariffs. Both 10-year Treasury yields and 30-year yields were up 5 basis points to 4.57% and 4.81%, respectively. 
As a reaction, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 0.7%
Gold pared earlier gains amid a stronger dollar and rising yields.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bore the brunt of the risk-off move, tumbling over 3% from $105,000 to $102,000.

JMP Securities: Walravens rerated Atlassian after it reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter 2025 results. The company posted adjusted EPS of $0.96 (consensus $0.76) on total revenue of $1.286 billion (consensus $1.240 billion), reflecting 21% year-over-year growth, flat with last quarter.
Cloud revenue reached $847 million, up 30% year-over-year, well ahead of guidance of 25.5%. This marked a slight decline from 31% last quarter but exceeded the consensus estimate of 26%.
Data Center revenue totaled $362 million, increasing 32% year-over-year, down from 38% last quarter but surpassing the consensus of 28%.
Billings came in ahead of expectations at $1.470 billion (consensus $1.378 billion), representing 21% year-over-year growth.
Walravens projected third-quarter revenue of $1.35 billion and EPS of 88 cents.
Raymond James: Tindle rerated after Atlassian&#8217;s quarterly results that featured a continuation of elite Cloud growth at scale, and guidance above the analyst&#8217;s buy-side bogeys suggests durability. 
The analyst&#8217;s recent upgrade was predicated on a combination of macro indicators with a detailed NRR build that suggested Cloud growth could ultimately end closer to mid/high 20% than the initial low-20% guidance, which is materializing. 
An incremental focus on Enterprise customers provides both risk and opportunity as mid-market-focused tech companies attempting to grow in Enterprise can ultimately destroy unit economics and incremental capital investment. Tindle intends to monitor material changes in contribution margin but noted that initial customer acquisition tends to be costly. 
Atlassian has landed 85% of the Fortune 500, and this $14 billion opportunity unfolds alongside a new CRO with roots at SAP.
In the longer term, the AI opportunity Tindle spotlighted through sensitivity analysis on Rovo is gaining momentum, with 1 million+ monthly active users of Rovo and Atlassian Intelligence features. The analyst&#8217;s prior concern with Atlassian&#8217;s AI strategy was that it drove up customer acquisition cost (CAC) with an indeterminate impact on long-term value (LTV), meaning incremental customer economics were worsening. However, gross margin has continued to outperform, and Atlassian is showing incremental operating leverage during this ramp-up period.
The introduction of paid SKUs for AI has become an increased focus and a positive step toward the monetization of AI, which could be very meaningful over time with proper execution. This also has potential positive impacts on Atlassian&#8217;s valuation multiple, and Tindle noted little reason to make a valuation call here based on the longer-term potential.
Tindle projected third-quarter revenue of $1.35 billion and EPS of 92 cents.
Truist Securities: Atlassian&#8217;s second-quarter 2025 release delivered a substantial upside to Fishbein&#8217;s top and bottom line estimates. Atlassian called out stability in the SMB segments that had challenged the business in prior years, as well as traction with their enterprise sales motion and new product offerings. Fishbein noted that the company has established a solid foundation, and more can go right to drive upside to expectations through the year.
Fishbein projected third-quarter revenue of $1.35 billion and EPS of 90 cents.
Keybanc: Atlassian reported another strong quarter of Cloud and DC outperformance, driven by continued stabilization in SMB and paid seat expansions, solid enterprise execution, and migration activity. Significantly, the magnitude of the 2025 Cloud guidance raise to 26.5% (250 bps raise) was most impressive. 
Given the upcoming release of certain blockers (such as FedRAMP), the narrowing of feature/price gaps between DC and Cloud, and the improvement of enterprise motion, Celino noted that the momentum for Cloud is just getting started.
Celino projected third-quarter revenue of $1.35 billion and EPS of 91 cents.
Cantor Fitzgerald: Blakey&#8217;s rerating followed a solid fiscal second-quarter 2025 report and fiscal third-quarter outlook driven by strong Enterprise, AI, and pricing. Cloud revenue was partially driven by better-than-expected seat expansion and migrations, and seat expansion has also stabilized in SMB. 
The company reiterated its prudent posture on guidance, and Blakey noted that third-quarter 2025 Q/Q growth appears to be increasingly conservative. In addition to macro as a reason for conservatism, new CRO (January 2025) and strong &#8216;mega deals&#8217; in the fiscal second quarter could be additional reasoning around the fiscal third-quarter top-line guide.
Blakey projected third-quarter revenue of $1.35 billion and EPS of 91 cents.
Scotiabank: After a choppy start to software earnings season, Atlassian&#8217;s strong results stand out and likely provide investors with some comfort around software end market dynamics. Atlassian continues to post more significant upside to Cloud, though its prudent approach to guidance continues. 
Macro-wise, the company noted the environment was stable Q/Q, though seat expansion and migration activity exceeded expectations. Atlassian posted its best quarter of $1 million ACV deals and noted 1 million MAUs for its AI features and products. 
Ultimately, two clean quarters of Cloud upside and management leaving room for further upside in the second half should help the shares continue to work. Altmann is getting increasingly comfortable with the story and found the 40% Y/Y growth in Premium &amp; Enterprise and heightened Cloud adoption driven by Atlassian&#8217;s new AI capabilities, perhaps the most underappreciated aspect of the print.
Altmann projected third-quarter revenue of $1.35 billion.
Price Action: TEAM stock is up 13.1% at $310.95 at last check Friday.

$100 Invested In Encompass Health 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Medicaid funding, totaling approximately $900 billion per year and serving around 72 million participants, and the 340B program <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43294006/trump-white-house-blames-outage-for-medicaid-website-lockout-we-have-confirmed-no-payments-have-been-affected" rel="noreferrer noopener">are key focus areas for potential healthcare reforms.</a>
Goldman Sachs analyst Salveen Richter, however, warns that federal Medicaid cuts could lead to stricter policies and lower drug coverage.
Per Richter, the 340B program is currently facing increased scrutiny, with proposed reforms that could potentially benefit biopharma companies by limiting eligibility for drug discounts, which would enable &#8220;transfer of profits&#8221; from providers back to biopharma.
This shift could positively impact major biopharma companies with high exposure to 340B drugs, such as Merck &amp; Company, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>).
However, the specifics of these reforms are still uncertain, which could cause &#8220;volatility&#8221; in the healthcare sector until more details are released.
At the same time, Medicaid funding and eligibility changes are under consideration as potential cost-saving measures by the new administration.

These changes could have negative effects on biopharma companies with significant Medicaid drug exposure, including AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>), Gilead Sciences, and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), whose top Medicaid drugs make up a large percentage of their US sales.
Overall, for the 340B program, the analyst sees potential policy/legal outcomes that would move dynamics towards a transfer of profits from providers to biopharma companies as a positive for much of the biopharma sector.
Meanwhile, potential Medicaid changes could create &#8220;potential headwinds&#8221; for healthcare providers and biopharma companies, though the exact effects remain uncertain.
The healthcare industry is awaiting further clarity on these proposed policy changes and their implications.
Overall, the analyst notes that exposure to Medicaid and 340B can vary widely by product and indication.
The top three highest-spend drugs for Medicaid (as of 2022) are AbbVie&#8217;s Humira, Gilead&#8217;s Biktarvy and Eli Lilly&#8217;s Trulicity for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
For these drugs, Medicaid and 340B spending represented ~15-30% of the drugs' FY22 and FY23 revenue.
Further, 340B impact may vary for different methods of administration within the same indication &#8211; for example, Gilead&#8217;s expects lower 340B exposure for injectables for PrEP than for daily orals &#8211; and expansion of eligibility for 340B discounts may have an outsized impact on certain therapeutics over others.
Overall, 340B reform would serve as a tailwind to biopharma, as the aforementioned initiatives are generally intended to limit access to the statutory discount.
On the other hand, spending cuts to Medicaid could have a negative impact to volume if they have the effect of reducing coverage, the analyst writes.

Lemonade's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMND#NYSE">LMND</a>) short percent of float has risen 19.89% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 16.85 million shares sold short, which is 32.43% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 8.05 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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/">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Lemonade has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Lemonade's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Lemonade's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.61%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

(QSI) - Analyzing Quantum-Si's Short Interest

Once upon a time, earning six figures was a badge of honor – a golden ticket that signified you'd made it into the upper class. But now? Not so much. Turns out, nearly a quarter of American workers – 21.1% or over 38 million people – earned at least $100,000 last year, according to DQYDJ.com.
That's a jaw-dropping number when you consider what six figures used to represent. But today, $100K isn't the luxury salary it once was. In fact, for many people, it's the bare minimum they believe they need to stop worrying about money altogether.

So it's no surprise that a report from Edelman Financial Engines found 58% of Americans think earning $100K a year is necessary just to avoid worrying about everyday living expenses. For a quarter of respondents, even six figures doesn't cut it – they say at least $200K is needed to feel comfortable.
And they're not wrong. Inflation, skyrocketing home prices and rising interest rates have pushed living costs to extremes. What used to be a "dream salary" is now the starting point for many just to make ends meet – never mind saving for retirement, paying down debt or splurging on a vacation.

The Pressure Is Mounting
2024 has been another tough financial year for Americans, with inflation hammering household budgets and interest rates leaving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41685300/1-in-13-homeowners-are-risking-it-all-heres-why-experts-call-it-a-huge-mistake">homeowners stuck in place</a>. It's no wonder money continues to be a top source of stress for families nationwide. And even with a six-figure salary, many workers are finding it hard to keep up:
• Housing costs are consuming larger chunks of paychecks than ever, with the median home price in the U.S. reaching $416,800 as of late 2024.
• Health care and child care<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39778022/dave-ramsey-tells-man-and-wife-spending-80-000-a-year-in-child-care-costs-that-they-have-lost-th"> costs are skyrocketing</a>, putting even more pressure on families with young kids.
• The average American carries over $5,700 in credit card debt and interest rates punish anyone trying to pay it down.
When you add it all up, it's no wonder six figures barely feel enough to breathe.

Why It Doesn't Feel Like "Making It"
The truth is, six figures don't go as far as it used to and the data proves it. Here's why:
1. Inflation is Outpacing Wages
While $100K might look good on paper, it's worth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42917321/consumer-inflation-worries-highest-since-2008-u-of-m-survey-says-wall-street-tumbles-to-2-month-lows">significantly less</a> than a decade ago. Prices on essentials like food, gas and housing have all surged, making it harder to stretch your paycheck.
2. Lifestyle Creep
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38945724/suze-orman-says-stop-wasting-your-money-on-things-designed-to-make-your-life-easier-warns-conven">Earning more often means spending more</a>, whether it's on a bigger home, better schools or just keeping up with rising living costs. That "extra" income disappears quickly.
3. Savings and Retirement Goals Are Higher
Americans now believe they need $1.46 million saved to retire comfortably, according to Northwestern Mutual – a 15% increase from the previous year. Even a six-figure salary doesn't leave enough room to hit those targets for many.
4. The Social Security Question
Younger generations are bracing for cuts to Social Security benefits by 2035, meaning they'll have to rely even more on personal savings – yet another stressor for the $100K crowd.

The Bigger Picture
So, what's the takeaway? A six-figure salary might still sound impressive, but it's become the new baseline for millions of Americans. If you're in that group of workers making at least $100K a year, you might find it's just enough to tread water financially – not thrive.
If you want to make your dollar go further, now's the time to get strategic. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Consulting a financial advisor</a> can help you create a plan to stretch your income, invest wisely and prioritize your goals. Whether building wealth, saving for retirement or tackling debt, having a clear road map can make all the difference in making six figures feel more than just the bare minimum.
