On Friday, President Donald Trump's White House launched a new COVID-19 website.&nbsp;
What Happened: The newly launched website sharply criticized the pandemic response by the World Health Organization (WHO), former President Joe Biden, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the nation's top health official.
The development was first reported by Reuters.
The website&#8217;s banner declares, &#8220;Lab leak – the true origins of COVID-19,&#8221; and also revisits the ongoing debate about the origins of the pandemic, specifically pointing to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31152736/china-says-us-hurting-its-own-credibility-by-rehashing-covid-19-lab-leak-theory-respect-science-and">lab leak in China</a> as the most likely cause.
&#8220;Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market,&#8221; states one of the five points on the website.

Why It's Important: The president's overhaul of the online resource comes against the backdrop of Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44886711/trump-expresses-reluctance-to-escalate-china-tariffs-hints-at-trade-deal">intensifying trade war with China</a> and continued criticism of past administrations.
In January, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/31062926/edward-snowden-on-covid-19-origin-corporations-must-never-again-be-permitted-to-police-speech">CIA spokesperson stated</a> that the agency believes the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely to have originated from a laboratory than through natural transmission, though it holds only &#8220;low confidence&#8221; in that assessment and considers both possibilities—lab and natural origins—plausible.
The Chinese government has previously said that it supports and has participated in efforts to uncover the virus&#8217;s origins, while accusing the U.S. of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/31109887/xi-jinpings-mouthpiece-warns-elon-musk-against-pushing-china-covid-19-lab-leak-theory">politicizing the issue</a>, particularly due to investigations led by American intelligence agencies.
Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43125408/trump-signs-order-to-withdraw-us-from-who-again-cites-funding-governance-concerns">Trump also signed an executive order</a> to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO, citing concerns over governance and financial practices. This decision continues his first-term efforts to end WHO membership, a move previously reversed by Biden in 2021.
Last month, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44519638/us-department-of-health-and-human-services-aligns-with-trumps-executive-order-to-cut-10k-jobs-save-18-billion">U.S. Department of Health and Human Services</a> announced a restructuring plan aligned with Trump&#8217;s executive order, aiming to cut costs and refocus priorities.
This plan includes reducing the workforce by 10,000 employees, saving $1.8 billion annually.

Trump's New COVID Website Takes Aim At WHO, Fauci, And Biden Over Pandemic Response, Calls Out China Lab Leak Theory

House Democrats have raised serious concerns about the Department of Government Efficiency, alleging it is building a cross-agency master database that could compromise privacy and national security.
What Happened: On Friday, Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA) sent a letter to the Social Security Administration's Inspector General requesting an investigation into DOGE, claiming it is collecting and consolidating massive amounts of sensitive personal data, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/652215/doge-cross-agency-master-database-sensitive-information">reported</a> The Verge.
Connolly pointed to accounts from SSA whistleblowers who reported seeing DOGE engineers enter the agency's IT systems carrying backpacks loaded with laptops, each reportedly connected to different federal databases.
Their goal, according to the testimony, was to merge these systems into a single unified database.
&#8220;I have long championed efforts to improve data sharing across the government to combat improper payments and to increase government efficiency," he wrote, adding, &#8220;But any efforts to reform our current systems must be undertaken with the utmost sensitivity and concern for privacy, security, and the Social Security payments that millions of people rely on.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Earlier this month, Daniel Berulis, an IT employee at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), stated in an affidavit that the DOGE Service team was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44859945/whistleblower-alleges-doge-involved-in-major-cybersecurity-breach-at-us-labor-agency">granted broad access to the agency&#8217;s internal</a> systems.
The whistleblower noted that starting in March, he observed suspicious activity, including altered logging protocols and the extraction of around 10 gigabytes of sensitive material.
The data appeared to contain confidential affidavits, union-related records, and proprietary business information.
The allegations against DOGE come amid broader scrutiny of the agency.
Previously, it was reported that despite efforts to cut costs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44778750/musks-government-efficiency-push-falls-short-as-treasury-data-shows-spending-up-sharply-under-trumps-second-term-report">federal spending has increased</a> by $154 billion since Donald Trump returned to office. This rise in spending contrasts with DOGE&#8217;s claims of $150 billion in savings through various cutbacks.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44787438/gao-to-probe-sec-changes-under-trump-administration-musks-department-report">U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)</a> is also set to investigate changes at the SEC under Musk&#8217;s leadership, focusing on staff reductions and work consolidation.

Elon Musk's DOGE Under Fire: House Democrats Say Agency Is Building Unlawful Master Database Of Sensitive US Data

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is undergoing a leadership change after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent raised concerns to President Trump about the appointment of the agency&#8217;s interim head.
What Happened: Five individuals familiar with the situation revealed that Elon Musk influenced the appointment of Gary Shapley as the interim head of the IRS without consulting Bessent, according to<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/us/politics/irs-scott-bessent-elon-musk.html"> a</a> New York Times report on Friday.
This move bypassed Bessent, who oversees the tax agency. Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency facilitated the appointment through White House channels.
Bessent, feeling sidelined, secured Trump&#8217;s approval to reverse the decision. The new acting head is expected to be Michael Faulkender, the deputy secretary of the Treasury, until Billy Long is confirmed by the Senate for the permanent role.

The IRS has seen frequent leadership changes under Trump, with Shapley being appointed after Melanie Krause resigned.
Krause left following an agreement to use IRS data for deportations, a move she opposed. Shapley, a longtime IRS agent, was praised by conservatives for his stance on the Justice Department&#8217;s handling of Hunter Biden&#8217;s tax investigation.
The dispute between Musk and Bessent became public when Musk amplified a post by Laura Loomer questioning Bessent&#8217;s loyalty to Trump.
Loomer&#8217;s post accused Bessent of meeting with a &#8220;Trump hater,&#8221; which Musk called &#8220;troubling.&#8221; The individual in question was John Hope Bryant, CEO of Operation HOPE, who clarified that his meeting with Bessent did not involve political discussions.
Why It Matters: The appointment of Gary Shapley as interim IRS head follows his whistleblower testimony alleging<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44829763/trump-to-reportedly-appoint-hunter-biden-whisteblower-gary-shapley-as-acting-irs-commissioner-hell-be-a-great-asset"> bias in the investigation of Hunter Biden</a>.
This appointment aligns with Trump&#8217;s administration&#8217;s recent moves, including the IRS&#8217;s controversial decision to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44706330/irs-reverses-stance-agrees-to-share-undocumented-migrant-taxpayers-information-with-ice-this-is-unprecedented"> share undocumented taxpayers&#8217; information</a> with ICE, which has been criticized as part of a mass deportation effort.
Additionally, the IRS&#8217;s leadership changes occur amid speculation about the agency&#8217;s future. Grant Cardone, a prominent critic of the IRS, has suggested that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44440924/grant-cardone-says-dont-be-surprised-when-president-trump-eliminates-the-irs"> Trump might eliminate the agency</a> altogether.

Trump Reverses Elon Musk-Influenced IRS Interim Head Appointment Following Scott Bessent's Objection: Report

Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has postponed the U.S. debut of an affordable version of its Model Y SUV.
The vehicle, internally known as E41, was initially set to launch in the first half of the year.
What Happened: Three sources with knowledge of the situation revealed that the production of this lower-cost Model Y in the U.S. is now expected to start several months later than Tesla&#8217;s public plan, according to a Reuters report on Friday.
The revised timeline suggests a start from the third quarter to early next year.
While the exact cause of the delay remains unclear, two sources indicated Tesla&#8217;s goal to manufacture 250,000 units of the cheaper Model Y in the U.S. by 2026. Plans also include eventual production in China and Europe.
The delay and production targets had not been disclosed before. Tesla&#8217;s upcoming earnings report on Tuesday is expected to address these plans.

Why It Matters: The delay in launching the affordable Model Y comes amidst Tesla&#8217;s plans to introduce a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43616177/tesla-exec-says-performance-variant-seven-seat-interior-on-new-model-y-will-launch-later-this-year"> Performance variant of the refreshed Model Y</a> later this year, as stated by company executive Lars Moravy.
The<a href="https://benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43183608/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-in-us-with-25-price-hike-full-self-driving-included"> refreshed Model Y</a>, launched in January, is part of Tesla&#8217;s strategy to maintain its competitive edge in the electric vehicle market.
In March, Tesla offered significant<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44064638/tesla-offers-deep-discounts-of-up-to-7950-on-the-model-y-as-the-ev-giant-gears-up-to-deliver-the-refreshed-version"> discounts on the older Model Y</a> versions, with reductions reaching up to $7,950, as the company prepared to deliver the refreshed variant. These discounts were seen as a move to clear inventory and make way for the new models.
Additionally, Tesla plans to refresh its premium<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43908919/tesla-to-launch-refreshed-model-s-x-later-this-year-says-senior-exec"> Model S and Model X</a> vehicles later this year, indicating a broader strategy to update its lineup and attract more customers.

Elon Musk's Tesla Delays Launch Of Affordable Model Y By Several Months: Report

On Friday, White House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett said the Donald Trump administration is exploring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44861571/donald-trump-blasts-too-late-and-wrong-fed-chair-powell-but-polymarket-traders-doubt-his-termination-will-come-fast-enough">ways to remove</a> Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
What Happened: Hassett told reporters at the White House that the &#8220;President and his team will continue to study,&#8221; whether it&#8217;s possible to fire Powell, <a href="https://thehill.com/business/5256173-trump-exploring-firing-fed-chair/">reported</a> The Hill.
The legal framework surrounding Powell's position complicates any potential firing. According to a 90-year-old Supreme Court precedent, a Federal Reserve chair can only be removed for misconduct or severe neglect of office.
Powell has repeatedly stated that he cannot be legally removed from office and has insisted he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43493701/fed-chair-jerome-powell-faces-trumps-pressure-the-president-cant-fire-me-as-interest-rates-hold-steady-at-4-25-4-5">would serve his full term</a>.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Hassett's comments followed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44862662/trump-pressures-fed-as-ecb-delivers-7th-straight-rate-cut">series of public attacks</a> from President Trump, who has been increasingly critical of Powell, particularly over the Fed's refusal to cut interest rates.
Trump's anger toward Powell intensified this week, culminating in a Thursday morning post on social media where the president expressed his frustration, saying he couldn&#8217;t wait for Powell&#8217;s &#8220;termination.&#8221;
This followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">Powell's warnings that Trump's trade</a> tariffs could fuel inflation and cause a slowdown in economic growth, a scenario Trump has said would prevent the Fed from making the necessary rate cuts.
The potential dismissal of Powell has raised concerns about the stability of U.S. financial markets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44882256/trumps-threat-to-fire-powell-could-shake-us-financial-markets">Investment strategists</a> have warned that such a move could undermine the independence of the Federal Reserve and cause significant market turbulence.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has also cautioned that firing Powell could lead to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44883756/warren-foresees-market-turmoil-if-trump-dismisses-feds-powell-if-powell-can-be-fired-by-trump-it-will-crash-markets">stock market collapse</a>.

Trump's Top Economic Adviser Kevin Hassett Says White House Is Exploring Options To Fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell: 'The President And His Team Will Continue To Study'

XRP has experienced a significant sell-off over the past few weeks after peaking in early January and reaching a new all-time high of $3.40 per token. The last time XRP traded above the $3 mark was in January 2018.
As of April 10, XRP is trading at $1.96.

XRP has experienced a significant sell-off over the past few weeks after peaking in early January and reaching a new all-time high of $3.40 per token. The last time XRP traded above the $3 mark was in January 2018.
What XRP Is Used For and the Tech Behind It
XRP is mainly used for moving money across borders quickly and cheaply. Ripple built it to help banks and payment providers settle international transactions in seconds instead of days. Instead of needing to hold a bunch of different currencies, XRP can be used as a bridge—especially in places where liquidity is thin.
It runs on the XRP Ledger, which isn't like Bitcoin or Ethereum. There's no mining involved. It uses its own consensus mechanism that lets it handle about 1,500 transactions per second, with super low fees. It's fast, efficient, and doesn't chew up energy like proof-of-work chains do.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
What's With The Drop?
Over the last few weeks, XRP has declined more than 40% after topping out in January. The primary cause of this drop—though you can spin a lot of different narratives around it—is the broader derisking in the U.S. economy, which has triggered a global risk-off sentiment.
Fundamentally, nothing has really changed with XRP. This pullback is largely driven by a bearish macro outlook. Compared to other altcoins, XRP has actually held up relatively well—thanks to stronger fundamentals and institutional backing.&nbsp;
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
Key Levels to Watch
In the weeks and months ahead, it will be crucial to monitor key levels to get a better sense of whether the market is going to continue dropping, reverse, or simply consolidate for a while.
On the daily chart, XRP is in a clear bearish trend. There was a moment where it looked like a potential breakout to the upside, but that move was entirely news-driven—sparked by <a href="https://x.com/DegenerateNews/status/1896221266241356274">Trump's post </a>about a potential "Crypto Reserve," in which XRP was included.
There are two short-term support levels I'd keep an eye on, both of which have shown recent signs of demand. The first is the $1.75 level, and the second is the $1.40s—a prior area where price accumulated back in November.
With these levels in mind, I'd watch the trend. It's a common saying, but the trend truly is your friend. Currently, in most risk-on markets—especially U.S. equities—the trend is bearish.
If you're an investor or trader looking for a bullish case, you'd want to start seeing XRP fail to trade towards old lows and begin forming higher lows in the market. This would not only set up a potential long move but also possibly shift the negative sentiment that has been prevailing in the crypto markets for a while now.

Why Merck, Black Hills, And Virtus Investment Partners Are Winners For Passive Income

It's not something most people expect to find while cleaning out a loved one's home, but it happens. One listener of the "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-revisiting-can-i-give-my-child-money-and-get-a-tax-deduction">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast recently asked financial expert Suze Orman what to do after discovering $200,000 in cash stashed away by her deceased father.
The listener explained that her father didn't trust banks and saved his paychecks in cash, hiding them around the house over time. Now, she's faced with a major question: What's the right way to handle this money?

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Here's how Suze Orman responded.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 1: Don't Let the Money Sit in Cash</h2>
Orman began by stressing the opportunity cost of keeping such a large sum in cash. "You're missing out on about $10,000 a year currently in interest," she noted.
Letting the money sit at home not only limits its earning potential — it also puts it at risk of theft or loss. That's why <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44424162/its-a-really-really-bad-idea-suze-orman-warns-58-year-old-against-using-a-401k-to-buy-a-lifetime">Orman</a> believes the safest next step involves depositing it. But that's not as simple as walking into a bank with stacks of cash.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 2: Talk to the Estate Lawyer</h2>
Before heading to the bank, Orman recommends contacting the attorney handling the estate. If there's no lawyer involved, she advises hiring one, even for a short consultation. They can guide you on how to legally deposit the money and ensure everything is above board.
Why the caution? Large deposits — especially over $10,000 — trigger federal reporting requirements. Banks are required to report these transactions to government agencies as part of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42266678/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-failed-anti-money-laundering-regulations-sounds-like-a-job-for-doge">anti-money-laundering rules</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 3: Be Transparent With the Bank</h2>
Orman suggests going to a bank where either you or your loved one had an account. Bring documentation like the death certificate, the will or trust, and any paperwork that shows you're the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42803339/keep-it-separate-suze-orman-warns-listener-about-protecting-her-childrens-inheritance-when-buying-a-home-with-a-new-spouse">beneficiary of the estate</a>.
"Just come clean," she advises. Explain how and where the money was found, and that you're trying to handle it responsibly. The bank may have questions, but full transparency can help avoid future issues.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 4: Deposit the Money Into the Estate Account</h2>
Rather than depositing the funds directly into your personal account, Orman recommends opening a bank account in the name of the estate. This keeps everything tied to the deceased person's financial affairs and can simplify the probate process, if applicable.
Once the cash is deposited into the estate account, it becomes part of the official estate assets. From there, you or the executor can distribute it according to the terms of the will or trust — or as directed by the probate court.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Taxes Could Be Involved</h2>
Orman also cautioned that depending on your situation, the IRS might treat the money as part of the estate and expect a portion in taxes. Or, they might accept your explanation and move on. Either way, working with a lawyer and possibly a tax professional can help ensure you follow the right steps.
If you find a large sum of cash in a loved one's home, don't panic — but don't ignore it either. Follow Orman's lead: seek legal guidance, stay transparent, and take the right steps to protect yourself and the money.

One Reddit user just gave the economy subreddit a glimpse into what panic looks like in real time.
In the popular r/Economy <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/economy/comments/1jyig4s/ok_i_sold_all_of_my_holdings_and_am_100_cash/">subreddit</a>, the user said they sold all of their holdings and are &#8220;100% cash until 2026 midterms because this administration is full of 6-year-olds.&#8221;
They added, &#8220;All of my personal investments have turned into 100% cash and sold when the market was very low (I'm still kicking myself in the ass everyday for doing that).&#8221;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Timing vs. Market Patience</h2>
Despite the regret, they said they couldn't handle the volatility anymore, even though they were invested in a broadly diversified fund: &#8220;I feel like I'm day trading Vanguard Total Stock ETF. It's just so horrendous.&#8221;
Reactions flooded in, and the general consensus was that selling low and holding cash isn't the win the user might think it is.
&#8220;You want to buy more when the market is down, not sell,&#8221; one user said.
Another pointed out the trap of market timing: &#8220;If you think you timed the top, now you gotta time the bottom. Probably gonna get mad if the market goes up.&#8221;
Several commenters also noted how common this mistake is, especially among younger investors. &#8220;Selling in 2009 is my greatest regret,&#8221; one user shared. &#8220;The best buying opportunities always look the most awful and scary.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cash Isn&#8217;t as Safe as It Feels</h2>
While the original poster parked their money in a high-yield savings account, multiple users reminded them that cash isn't immune to erosion.
&#8220;The dollar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44768702/foreigners-dump-the-dollar-gold-and-yen-act-as-safe-haven-jpmorgan-helps-stock-market-cooler-ppi">isn&#8217;t safe</a> right now,&#8221; one comment read. &#8220;You&#8217;re protected against market volatility but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44764554/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-3-year-lows-as-inflation-expectations-spike-to-1981-highs">inflation</a> is going to make your cash worth less than other, more safe investment choices.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Politics, Tariffs and Uncertainty</h2>
Politics were central to the original post, and the comment section didn't shy away either.
Many mentioned President Donald Trump's tariff policies and their ripple effects on markets. One user explained, &#8220;[Trump] <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44779286/trumps-tariff-pause-stirs-markets-goldman-sachs-reverses-recession-call-and-more-this-week-in-economy">paused tariffs for 90 days</a> to all the countries (except China) who were selling US bonds on the open market, causing the interest rates to rise.&#8221;
Another summed up the frustration with policy-driven volatility: &#8220;Markets dislike uncertainty. As you can see from these comments, certainty is in short supply. Nobody knows. Do your best.&#8221;
Some took it further, blaming both sides of the aisle. &#8220;This isn't going to be a quick recession like COVID. We have a few problems we have to unwind and I'm pessimistic there is anyone capable of leading us out of this, Republicans or Democrats. It's scary out there.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So Was It a Bad Move?</h2>
Most think so. &#8220;If you hadn&#8217;t sold you would have lost nothing,&#8221; one said. &#8220;Investing by your politics is foolish.&#8221;
Others were more empathetic. &#8220;There is no wrong move if it gives you peace of mind,&#8221; a top commenter added. &#8220;You might miss out on some gains. That's irrelevant if the stress and potential losses can alter your life plans.&#8221;
Still, the original poster might be left with the worst of both worlds: locking in losses from selling low and watching inflation chip away at their savings.

Elon Musk is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">richest man in the world</a>. Not marginally — dramatically. Even 1% of his net worth is more than most people could spend in multiple lifetimes.
But in a 2022 post on X, Musk pushed back on the idea that Tesla operates like a traditional hierarchy.
"Everyone eats same food, uses same restrooms, etc — no executive chef or other ivory tower stuff," he wrote. "There shouldn't be this workers vs management two-class system. Everyone is a worker."

Now in 2025, and Musk is still fighting to reinstate a $56 billion Tesla compensation package that was struck down last year by a Delaware court.&nbsp;
The court's decision was grounded in findings that the package was negotiated by directors lacking independence from Musk and that shareholders were misled by flawed disclosures during the approval process. Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick described the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/judge-rules-favor-plaintiffs-challenging-musks-tesla-pay-package-2024-01-30/">compensation as an "unfathomable sum"</a> and highlighted the undue influence Musk had over the board, noting close personal ties with several directors .
Meanwhile, factory workers at Tesla's plants in Texas and Nevada are reportedly earning as little as $22 an hour. Even at the top of the pay scale, hourly wages max out around $39, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-tesla-factory-workers-paid-per-hour-us">Business Insider</a> reported last year.&nbsp;

According to Tesla's proxy statement, Musk appeared to take home nothing in 2022—at least on paper. The company reported his total compensation as zero for the year, which technically brought the CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio down to 0:1.&nbsp;
But that snapshot doesn't tell the whole story. Just one year earlier, in 2021, Musk exercised a massive batch of stock options that were set to expire, realizing gains of $23.45 billion. <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000156459022024064/tsla-def14a_20220804.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Tesla's filings show</a> his "total realized compensation" for 2021 was $734,762,107, and based on the median employee salary of around $40,000 that year, the pay ratio came out to 18,043 to 1.&nbsp;
Musk's supporters argue that his compensation was performance-based and tied to milestones that drove massive value for shareholders. Critics point out that while Tesla's valuation soared, the workers powering its growth haven't seen the same rewards — and in some cases, have even seen wages reduced.
The legal battle over Musk's record-breaking pay is ongoing. But so is the conversation about whether <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44778739/elon-musks-political-fallout-fuels-record-dump-of-used-tesla-cars-now-selling-for-thousands-below-market-value">Tesla really operates</a> without a two-class system — or whether that idea only works in theory, not on the assembly line.

<h3>Norfolk Southern P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 33.44 in the Ground Transportation industry, Norfolk Southern Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 18.5. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

목요일(3일) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44632479/retail-stocks-slammed-as-trumps-tariff-plan-sends-shockwaves-through-sector" target="_blank" rel="noopener">트럼프 행정부</a>의 전면적인 상호관세에 대한 반응으로 시장이 폭락하면서 여러 레스토랑 주식이 타격을 받았다.
무슨 일 있었나: 도널드 트럼프 대통령이 수요일(2일) 전 세계 여러 국가에 대한 새로운 관세를 발표하면서 시장이 급락세를 보였다.
레스토랑 체인은 일반적으로 중국에서 식품 기계와 포장재를 공급받기 때문에 레스토랑 주식이 특히 큰 타격을 받고 있다. 트럼프는 이번 주에 중국에 34%의 관세를 부과하겠다고 발표했다.
<a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-tariffs-trade-war-stock-market-04-03-2025/card/restaurant-stocks-slide-on-trump-s-new-duties-IrOe9ndIoLz9heJhUlgk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">월스트리트저널의 보도</a>에 따르면 많은 레스토랑 체인이 캐나다에서 감자를 구입하고 다른 나라에서 고기를 수입하는 경우가 많다고 한다.
스타벅스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>)는 중국에서 수천 개의 매장을 운영하고 있기 때문에 중국에 대한 노출이 상당하다. 스타벅스는 2024년 말 기준으로 중국에 총 7,685개의 매장을 운영하고 있다. 또한 스타벅스는 대규모 커피 수입업체이기도 한다. 목요일 스타벅스 주가는 11.22% 하락했다.
멕시코, 콜롬비아 및 기타 국가에서 아보카도를 전 세계로 수입하는 치폴레 멕시칸 그릴(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>)도 매도 압력에 직면했다. 목요일 치폴레 주가는 3.73% 하락했다.
목요일에 하락한 다른 레스토랑 주식은 다음과 같다.
<ul>
<li>더치 브로스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) 9.18% 하락한 56.90달러</li>
<li>쉐이크 쉑 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) 12.02% 하락한 84.21달러</li>
<li>카바 그룹 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>) 6.83% 하락한 84.18달러</li>
<li>블루밍 브랜드 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) 7.80% 하락한 7.12달러</li>
<li>크래커 배럴 올드 컨트리 스토어 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBRL#NASDAQ">CBRL</a>) 12.70% 하락한 36.08달러</li>

지난주 JP모건 애널리스트인 존 이반코(John Ivankoe)는 블루밍 브랜드(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>), 카바 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>), 블링커 인터내셔널 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>), 스위트그린(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SG#NYSE">SG</a>)을 JP모건 라스베이거스 포럼에 초청했다.
존 이반코는 이 4곳 회사 모두에서 중요한 시사점은 "더 적은 일을 더 잘하는 것"에 초점을 맞추고 고객과 직원 경험에 지속적으로 재투자하는 것이라고 강조했다.
그는 주식의 변동성은 기회를 창출했으며, 현재 10년 수익률 4.3%가 글로벌 QSR의 가치 평가에 도움이 되어 5~6% 수익률에 대한 두려움을 완화시켰다고 말했다.
한편 존 이반코는 더치 브로스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>), 스타벅스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>), 카바에 대한 신규 투자를 추가할 것을 권장했다.
맥도날드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>)와 레스토랑 브랜드 인터내셔널(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QSR#NYSE">QSR</a>)은 공정하게 평가되었지만, 미국 데이터 및 국제 성장세 둔화는 더 나은 매수 기회를 제공할 수 있다고 언급했다.
염 브랜즈(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>)는기술 비용 회수 효과로 인해 기대치를 초과했다. 도미노 피자(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>)는 높은 기대치로 인해 적정 가치에 거래되고 있다. 중동 분쟁의 영향이 지속적인 매출 성장을 이끌 것인지 아니면 정체될 것인지는 아직 불확실하다.
존 이반코는 카바의 주식을 비중확대 의견으로 상향 조정했다. 카바는 인상적인 현금흐름과 매출과 이익을 촉진할 수 있는 운영 및 브랜드 이니셔티브의 강력한 파이프라인을 바탕으로 미국에서 상당한 확장 잠재력을 가지고 있다.
또한 치폴레(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>)와 블링커 인터내셔널에 대해 높은 밸류에이션과 최고 실적과 비교 영향으로 중립 의견을 반복했지만, 변동성에 따라 추가 매수를 고려할 수 있다고 신중하게 낙관했다.
비중확대 등급을 받은 스위트그린과 크리스피크림(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>)은 매출 및 이익 문제에 직면해 있으며, 스위트그린은 계절 메뉴와 로열티 프로그램을 통한 단기 잠재력을 제공한다.
3월 4일 염 브랜즈의 &#8216;타코 벨 애널리스트 데이&#8217;에서 "Byte by YUM!" 플랫폼과 KFC의 국제적 추세 개선을 강조한 후, 존 이반코는 전체 모델 검토와 평가 재설정을 실시했다.
2030년까지 미국 내 타코벨의 점포 수가 9,000개로 증가할 것으로 예상되며, 타코벨 인터내셔널의 점포 수도 2,000개로 늘어날 것으로 예상된다. 한편 애널리스트들은 KFC 인터내셔널(중국 제외)이 22,300개로 증가할 것으로 예상하고, KFC 중국은 19,400개로 증가할 것으로 예상한다.
이전의 예상과 비교했을 때 더치 브로스, 도미노 피자, 타코벨(염 브랜즈)만이 기대 이상의 성과를 내고 있으며, 카바, 스위트그린, 스타벅스 같은 고성장 브랜드는 예상대로 성장하고 있다.
맥도날드, 레스토랑 브랜드, KFC(염 브랜즈) 같은 대형 퀵서비스 레스토랑(QSR) 브랜드와 치폴레, 쉐이크쉑(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) 같은 패스트 캐주얼 체인점의 실적이 저조하다. 다덴 레스토랑(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRI#NYSE">DRI</a>)(올리브 가든), 텍사스 로드하우스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXRH#NASDAQ">TXRH</a>)(로드하우스), 블루밍 브랜드(아웃백) 같은 캐주얼 다이닝 브랜드도 실적이 저조하다.
미국의 레스토랑 노동 시장은 안정적으로 유지되고 있으며, 총 고용의 6.2%가 공석으로 남아 있어 20년 평균인 4.4%에 근접하다. 이직률은 3.8%로 역사적 평균인 4.0%에 근접하다.
소비자의 신뢰도가 하락했는데, 이는 소비자들이 신중한 태도를 취하면서 선택적 소비에 더욱 신중을 기하게 되면서 "기대" 요소에 초점을 맞추게 되었기 때문이다.
맥도날드, 도미노 피자 같은 대형 QSR 브랜드의 경우, 저소득층 소비자들 사이에서 실적이 부진한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이와는 대조적으로 카바 같은 고성장 브랜드의 경우, 최저 소득 계층에서 강력한 성장세를 보이고 있는데, 이는 QSR의 업그레이드와 브랜드 인지도 상승으로의 전환을 시사한다.
존 이반코에 따르면, 인재를 확보하고 유지하는 것은 강력한 브랜드를 구축하고 운영 규모를 확장하는 데 있어 핵심적인 요소이며, 이는 주로 매장 내/외부 기술의 급속한 도입 과정에서 더욱 두드러진다.
업계 전체 공급의 성장률은 놀라울 정도로 탄력적인 모습을 유지하고 있으며, 2018회계연도 3분기 대비 2024회계연도 3분기에는 12% 증가하여 연평균 성장률(CAGR)이 약 2%에 달한다고 강조했다.
그는 미래의 AI 기반 기회에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있지만, 실제로는 업계 매출의 40%가 상위 500개 체인에서 발생하고, 60%의 매우 큰 시장 규모를 가진 독립 체인으로 간주된다고도 지적했다.
또한 레스토랑 부문은 다른 산업에 비해 관세 문제가 덜하지만, 관련 인플레이션이 아보카도, 계절 농산물/과일, 커피를 포함한 여러 가지 일상 소비 필수품에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 덧붙였다.

이 드라이브 스루 음료 회사는 주당 7센트의 순이익을 기록하여 애널리스트 예상인 2센트를 초과했다. 매출은 3억 4,280만 달러로 급증하여 예상인 3억 1,780만 달러를 웃돌았고, 지난해 같은 분기 매출 2억 5,412만 달러에 비해 크게 증가했다.
크리스틴 바론(Christine Barone) CEO는 회사의 뛰어난 성과를 강조하며, 매출이 35% 성장하고 시스템 동일 매장 매출이 6.9% 성장했다고 언급했다. 바론은 &#8220;우리 브랜드가 고객에게 잘 전달되고 있다고 믿고 있다. 시스템 동일 매장 거래 수가 2.3% 증가하여 2년 이상 만에 가장 큰 연간 증가폭을 기록했다&#8221;고 말했다.

이것이 중요한 이유: 이 회사의 확장은 계속해서 가속화되고 있으며, 4분기에 32개의 새로운 매장이 열렸고, 이 중 25개는 회사 운영 매장이다. 이 회사 운영 매장 매출은 전년 대비 38.2% 증가하여 3억 1,420만 달러에 달했다.
앞으로 더치 브로스는 2025 회계연도 매출을 15억 5천만 달러에서 15억 7천만 달러 사이로 예상하고 있으며, 최소 160개의 새로운 시스템 매장을 열 계획이다.
주가가 지난 1년 동안 130% 이상 상승했지만, 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BROS/analyst-ratings">애널리스트 컨센서스</a>는 혼재된 전망을 보이고 있다. 2025년 1월 BofA 증권, 제프리스 그리고 스티펠의 최신 평가는 평균 목표 주가가 67.67달러로, 현재 애프터 마켓 거래 수준에서 하락할 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

인테백(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVAC#NASDAQ">IVAC</a>)은 태양전지나 하드디스크 드라이브와 같은 애플리케이션용 기술을 제조하는 회사로, 최근 변화를 겪었다. 과거의 구조조정 문제를 뒤로하고, 이 회사의 예상 EBITDA는 훨씬 건강해 보인다. 이제 투자은행 훌리한 로키(Houlihan Lokey)가 어떤 전략적 대안이 있는지 탐색 중인데, 이는 기본적으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mergers-and-acquisitions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">거래를 원하는</a> 누구와도 대화를 나누고 있다는 뜻이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록의 업데이트</h2>
허쉬 트러스트(Hershey Trust Co.)는 허쉬(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>)의 의결권 80%를 보유하고 있으며, 최근 몬델리즈 인터내셔널 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>)의 예비 입찰을 &#8220;너무 낮다&#8221;고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42398159/whats-going-on-with-hershey-stock-monday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">거부</a>한 후 다시 시도해 보라고 요청했다. 한편, 몬델리즈는 급등하는 코코아와 커피 가격에 시달리고 있으며, 이 스트레스를 인수 합병 계획의 연료로 활용할 수 있다. 코코아 가격은 지난 1년 동안 3배 이상 상승했으며, 10월과 11월 사이에만 20% 급등했다. 이는 코코아 생산 지역의 악천후, 전 세계 재고 감소 그리고 일반적인 공급망 문제 때문이다. BofA 증권의 애널리스트 피터 T. 갈보(Peter T. Galbo)도 허쉬가 현재 코코아 혼란 속에서 &#8220;상당히 매력적인 인수 대상&#8221;처럼 보인다고 언급했다.
닛폰 생명 보험(Nippon Life Insurance)는 레졸루션 라이프 그룹 홀딩스(Resolution Life Group Holdings)의 모든 주식을 인수하고 싶어한다. 82억 달러의 현금 거래는 이 일본 보험사로서는 역대 최대 해외 인수이다. 또한, 이는 올해 닛폰 생명이 발표한 두 번째 주요 거래이다. 닛폰 생명과 같은 일본 보험사들이 해외 기회를 찾고 있는 것은 분명하다.

다우(Dow)는 자사의 미국 걸프 코스트 인프라 자산 40% 지분을 맥쿼리 에셋 매니지먼트(Macquarie Asset Management)가 관리하는 펀드에 24억 달러에 매각하기로 합의했다. 새로이 형성된 파트너십인 다이아몬드 인프라 솔루션즈(Diamond Infrastructure Solutions)는 다우 및 텍사스와 루이지애나의 다른 산업 고객들을 위한 최고급 인프라 서비스 제공업체로 기능할 것이다.
아폴로 글로벌 매니지먼트 소유의 포장 제품 제조업체 노보렉스(Novolex)는 팩티브 에버그린(Pactiv Evergreen)을 인수하기로 확정했다. 가격은 약 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42395976/pactiv-evergreen-realreal-kodiak-sciences-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-monday">32억 달러</a>이다. 월스트리트 저널에 따르면 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/apollo-backed-novolex-to-buy-pactiv-evergreen-for-3-22-billion-0e4815cf">가격은 주당 현금 18달러로, 12월 6일 주가 14.66달러보다 23% 프리미엄이</a> 붙은 것이다. 이는 인수 소문이 돌기 전인 12월 2일 팩티브 주가보다 약 32% 높은 가격이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">파산 블록</h2>
디 어니언(The Onion)의 소유자들은 알렉스 존스(Alex Jones)의 인포워스(Infowars) 회사를 인수하려는 자신들의 입찰이 패소한 것에 대해 파산 판사에게 불만을 표시했다. 연방 파산 판사는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41982446/jokes-on-jones-onion-backed-by-families-of-sandy-hook-victims-buys-info-wars">지난달 경매</a>와 디 어니언의 제안을 &#8220;결함이 있다&#8221;고 선언하며 투명성 부족 및 불공정한 경쟁 환경 그리고 존스의 채권자들에 대한 가치 극대화 실패 등의 문제를 지적했다. 이 결정은 일론 머스크가 상황을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42229130/elon-musks-x-objects-to-sale-of-conspiracy-theorist-alex-joness-infowars-accounts-to-the-onion-claims-ownership-over-joness-social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">뒤흔든 후</a> 나온 것이다. 존스는 인포워스가 폐쇄되더라도 자신의 백업 스튜디오로 운영을 옮겨 위성, 방송국, 그리고 물론 머스크의 X 플랫폼을 통해 계속 방송할 것이라고 맹세했다. 모든 드라마에도 불구하고 이 판결은 샌디 훅(Sandy Hook) 비극의 희생자 가족들로부터의 법적 주장과 싸우고 있는 존스에게는 드문 승리였다.

<ul>
<li>더치 브로스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>): 이 인수 대상 기업은 수익이 증가하고, 부채가 적으며, 강력한 브랜드 인지도를 가지고 있으며, 커피 열풍이 있는 북동부 미국의 미개척 시장이 있을 수 있다.</li>

딜 디스패치: 허쉬와 몬델리즈의 인수 협상, 훌리한이 인테백을 쇼핑, 어니언과 인포워스 등

2021년 미국에서 인수합병(M&amp;A) 활동이 최고조에 달했지만, SPAC이 타격을 받고 바이든 행정부가 대규모 합병에 대해 더 엄격한 태도를 보인 이후, 거래 건수가 줄고 간헐적으로만 발생했다.
하지만 이러한 추세는 2025년에 반전될 것으로 보인다. 연준이 금리를 인하하고 인수합병에 더 우호적인 연방거래위원회(FTC)가 등장하기 때문이다. 골드만삭스 애널리스트들은 향후 12개월 동안 많은 <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-sachs-sees-more-larger-162800585.html">대규모 거래</a>가 이루어질 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 몬델레즈 인터내셔널(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLDZ#NASDAQ">MLDZ</a>)이 초콜릿 대기업 허쉬(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>) 인수를 다시 고려하고 있는 것처럼 이미 진행 중인 거래도 있을 수 있다.
오늘은 2025년 M&amp;A 대상이 될 수 있는  될 수 있는 주식 5종목을 살펴보자.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">선정 방법</h2>
피치 레이팅스(Fitch Ratings)는 <a href="https://www.fitchratings.com/research/corporate-finance/us-corporate-m-a-could-accelerate-in-2025-credit-implications-mixed-02-12-2024">인수 여력이 충분하고 인수 가능성이 높은 여러 섹터</a>를 확인했다. 주택 건설 및 건축, 항공 우주, 게임 및 레저, 의료, 은행, 그리고 (당연히) 기술 등이 여기에 포함된다. 우리는 이러한 산업 분야의 기업을 찾아 성장 잠재력, 브랜드 인지도, 재무 상태, 잠재적 인수 후보의 수를 기준으로 선택 범위를 좁혔다. 이들은 주로 시가 총액이 50억~120억 달러인 중형 기업이다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">더치 브로스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>)</h3>
스타벅스나 던킨도너츠에서 긴 줄을 서서 기다리느라 짜증이 난다면, 여러분만 그런 것은 아니다. 모바일 주문과 온라인 프로모션이 있더라도 드라이브스루 줄은 대형 체인점에게 지속적인 압박 포인트이며, 커피 가격이 계속 상승함에 따라 고객들은 아예 줄을 서지 않으려고 할 수도 있다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-690339" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163047/Bros-1024x304.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163047/Bros-1024x304.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163047/Bros-300x89.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163047/Bros-768x228.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163047/Bros.png 1302w" alt="" width="1024" height="304" /></figure>
더치 브로스(Dutch Bros)와 같이 장인 정신을 바탕으로 한 커피 체인점은 대기업이 품질을 희생하지 않고도 경쟁 우위를 확보할 수 있는 방법일 수 있다. 더치 브로스는 미국 서부 지역을 중심으로 미국 전역에 900개 이상의 매장을 두고 있는 빠르게 성장하는 커피 체인점이다. 빠른 드라이브스루 경험과 세심한 서비스를 자랑한다. 900개의 매장이 스타벅스와 같은 거대 기업에겐 별것 아닌 숫자처럼 보일 수 있지만, 2009년 135개 매장에서 운영되던 것과 비교하면 인상적인 성장이다.
또한, 더치 브로스는 자체 브랜드의 커피를 온라인으로도 판매하고 있다. 매출 성장세는 꾸준히 이어지고 있으며, 2020년 이후 총이익은 두 배 이상 증가했다. 이러한 수익 증가, 최소한의 부채 부담, 강력한 브랜드 인지도, 그리고 커피에 열광하는 미국 북동부의 잠재적 시장 덕분에 인수 대상이 될 수 있다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">월그린스 부츠 얼라이언스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>)</h3>
월그린스는 오랫동안 인수 대상이었지만, 현실적인 거래 시나리오가 실현되지 못하고 주식은 수년 간의 하락세에 갇혀 있다. 월그린스는 공개 인수에 실패했지만, 2025년이 회사가 다시 사모 시장으로 돌아가는 해가 될 수 있다.

12월 10일, 시카모어 파트너스(Sycamore Partners)가 월그린스 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42421855/walgreens-stock-jumps-on-report-of-potential-private-equity-sale-what-you-need-to-know">인수 가능성</a>을 검토하고 있다는 소식이 전해졌다. 월그린스는 기업을 비상장 기업으로 전환하고 사업부를 분할할 계획이다. 월그린스 주가는 2015년 시가총액 1,000억 달러에서 2024년 말 85억 달러로 급락하여 비상장 기업 인수 가능성이 훨씬 더 높아졌다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">로쿠 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>)</h3>
로쿠의 주가 차트는 코로나19 팬데믹과 밈 주식 열풍으로 인해 영원히 왜곡될 것다. 당시 열풍으로 인해 로쿠 주가는 1년 만에 100달러에서 500달러로 급등했다. 하지만 2022년 초에 금리가 상승하기 시작했을 때, 로쿠는 큰 타격을 입었고 지난 2년 동안 주당 100달러 미만으로 거래되었다. 그러나 넷플릭스와 디즈니플러스는 스트리밍 서비스가 미국인들이 TV를 시청하는 새로운 방식임을 보여 주었으며, 로쿠는 이러한 서비스를 거실로 가져올 수 있는 하드웨어와 소프트웨어를 제공한다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-690341" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ROKU-1024x299.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ROKU-1024x299.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ROKU-300x88.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ROKU-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ROKU.png 1300w" alt="" width="1024" height="299" /></figure>
ROKU는 2023년에 15억 달러의 총 매출을 기록했다. 더 많은 고객들이 케이블을 포기하고 스마트 TV, 스트리밍 스틱, 그리고 로쿠의 가장 빠르고 고품질의 기기인 신제품 로쿠 울트라(Roku Ultra)를 통해 스트리밍 서비스로 전환했기 때문이다. 로쿠의 시가총액은 120억 달러에 조금 못 미치는데, 디즈니, 넷플릭스, 애플 같은 회사 입장에서는 적은 돈을 들여서 잠재 고객을 유치하고 경쟁에서 이길 수 있는 하드웨어 공급업체를 추가하게 된다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">줌 커뮤니케이션 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>)</h3>
코로나19 팬데믹이 한창일 때 사람들을 연결해 준 비디오 회의 서비스인 줌도 주가 차트에서 롤러코스터를 경험했다. 줌은 적기적소에 있었고, 그 결과 주가는 2020년 1월 76달러에서 11월 초에는 거의 500달러로 폭등했다. 그러나 2022년 8월에는 주가가 모든 팬데믹 관련 상승세를 잃고 다시 100달러 이하로 떨어졌다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-690342" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ZM-1024x300.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ZM-1024x300.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ZM-300x88.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ZM-768x225.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163048/ZM.png 1302w" alt="" width="1024" height="300" /></figure>
지난 2년 동안 줌 주식은 100달러 미만으로 거래되었지만, 지난 3개월 동안 주가가 거미줄을 떨쳐내는 모습을 보였다. 10월에는 줌의 50일 이동 평균이 200일 이동 평균을 상향 교차했다. 줌은 인프라, 브랜드 인지도 그리고 긍정적인 매출 성장으로 인해 2025년에 인수하기 좋은 기업이 될 것이라는 낙관적인 전망이 있다. 시가총액 260억 달러를 자랑하는 줌은 구글, 마이크로소프트, 애플 같은 자금력이 풍부한 구매자를 필요로 하지만, 충분한 양의 잉여현금흐름과 탄탄한 재무제표를 보유하고 있다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SPDR Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>)</h3>
지금은 실제로 은행 ETF를 취득하려는 사람이 없다. 그러나 중소 은행 부문은 통합을 위한 준비가 되어 있으며, 이 지수의 성과는 도널드 트럼프의 선거 승리로 인해 업계에 얼마나 많은 낙관론이 넘쳐났는지를 보여 준다.
2023년, FDIC의 보험에 가입된 상업은행의 수는 <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/184536/number-of-fdic-insured-us-commercial-bank-institutions/">4,470개로 증가하여</a> 20년 만에 처음으로 늘었다. 2000년에는 8,000개가 넘는 은행이 보험에 가입되어 있었다. 많은 시장 애널리스트들은 이것이 일시적인 현상이라고 생각하고 있으며, 새로운 FTC의 지도력 하에서 통합이 재개될 것으로 예상하고 있다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-690343" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163103/KRE-1024x300.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163103/KRE-1024x300.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163103/KRE-300x88.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163103/KRE-768x225.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12163103/KRE.png 1302w" alt="" width="1024" height="300" /></figure>
S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF는 대통령 선거 이후 수요일에 규제 완화 의제가 은행 인수합병의 길을 열어주면서 큰 폭으로 상승했다. KRE 펀드는 57억 달러의 자산 규모를 가진 비교적 작은 펀드이지만, 다양한 지역 은행 주식을 보유하고 있다. 140개가 넘는 은행과 금융 서비스 회사가 지수에 포함되어 있는데, 여기에는 트루이스트 파이낸셜(시가총액 600억 달러)과 같은 대형 은행부터 애틀랜틱 유니온 뱅크쉐어스(시가총액 40억 달러 미만)와 같은 틈새 지역 은행까지 다양한 은행이 포함되어 있다. 4,000개가 넘는 은행 중에서 어떤 은행을 인수할지 선택하는 것은 매우 어려운 작업이다. 이 소규모 ETF에 투자하는 것이 전반적인 M&amp;A 추세를 활용하는 방법이 될 것이다.
