Retail therapy might be on hold, but not every aisle is bare. Consumer spending in the United States <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45971228/retail-sales-slump-more-than-expected-as-tariff-fears-hit-spending">unexpectedly slipped in May</a>, with retail sales declining 0.9% from month-to-month, a deeper decline than the 0.6% predicted by Dow Jones economists. That follows a weak 0.1% decrease last month, which indicates that American consumers are getting increasingly cautious amid increasing economic uncertainty, tariff speculation, and overall wallet fatigue.
But the tale behind the headlines is more complex. Certain parts of the retail world, particularly those serving value-focused or internet-bright shoppers, are not only holding their own, but doing well. And savvy fund investors are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">capitalizing on ETFs</a> tied to those robust categories.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs That Defied The Trend</h2>
Let&#8217;s dissect the bright spots, and the ETFs set to take advantage.
E-Commerce Keeps Clicking
ETF to Watch: ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>)
Top Stock Exposure: Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)- 24.26% weightage
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li></li>
</ol>
As shoppers shunned physical locations and hunted for bargains online, e-commerce remained steadfast. ONLN, an ETF that follows online and non-store retailers, became popular. With a stake in players such as Amazon, the ETF capitalizes on digital convenience trends that seem resistant to tariff shakes.
Why it works: In a shaky economy, consumers don&#8217;t totally abandon their dopamine fixes, they just want it with free shipping.
Miscellaneous Retail Pops
ETF to Watch: VanEck Retail ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTH#NASDAQ">RTH</a>)
Top Stock Exposure: Amazon- 20.61% weightage
<ol start="3" class="wp-block-list">
<li></li>
</ol>
From novelty items to party favors, miscellaneous stores played strongly. Amazon, a player in this category, is its top holding. The RTH ETF, which tracks a wide range of retail players including specialty chains, picks up on this trend.
Home Sweet (Well-Furnished) Home
ETF to Watch: iShares U.S. Consumer Focused ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEDI#BATS">IEDI</a>)
Top Stock Exposure: Amazon- 10.7% weightage
<ol start="4" class="wp-block-list">
<li></li>
</ol>
While housing starts and permits have been weak, furniture sales have been strong. IEDI, an ETF that offers exposure to a diversified portfolio of consumer-facing companies, is poised to ride this trend. Some are passing on the house but still buying new furniture to upgrade their present homes. Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) is the top holding in the fund, with a 10.7% weightage.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Holding Back Retail</h2>
Outside of auto sales, retail still declined 0.3%, below forecasts for a modest gain. Major-ticket items such as autos and home improvement products were hit hard as consumers retreated. A lot of the March spending blowout, experts say, was probably front-loaded — caused by fear of higher prices as a result of expected tariffs tied to President Trump&#8217;s &#8220;liberation day&#8221; declaration in April.
In May, that urgency dissipated. Consumers were more discerning, choosing convenience, value, and low-cost indulgences.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Selective Resilience Is The New Growth</h2>
The wider retail narrative might be fading, but zoom in and you&#8217;ll discover islands of resilience, and ETF opportunities specific to each. From digital supremacy to fast fashion and value-led stores, consumer behavior is changing, not vanishing.
These ETFs provide exposure, yes, but insulation, enabling investors to avoid the retail carnage and access where demand resides in reality today.

Consumer Spending Slips, But These Niche Retail ETFs Are Defying The Downtrend

Realty Income Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) has become something of a gold standard for investors who are chasing monthly income.
It's one of the few publicly traded companies with the guts, and the track record, to trademark its nickname: The Monthly Dividend Company&#xAE;. With more than 15,600 commercial properties and over 660 consecutive monthly dividend payments under its belt, Realty Income is a REIT investors turn to when they want predictable income, even in unpredictable markets.
But there's another perk Realty Income offers its shareholders that doesn't show up in the yield column, and many investors don't even realize they're benefiting from it.
It's called depreciation, and as most real estate investors know, it can be one of the most powerful tax advantages available.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Dividend Breakdown That Tells The Bigger Story</h2>
In 2024, Realty Income paid out $3.126 per share in dividends, more than 126% of its estimated taxable income. That may sound like a red flag at first, but it&#8217;s actually a feature of REIT taxation, not a flaw.
REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders in exchange for avoiding corporate income tax. But "taxable income" and "cash flow" are two very different things.
Thanks to depreciation, a non-cash expense that reduces taxable income without reducing actual earnings, REITs like Realty Income can pay out more in dividends than they report in taxable income. When that happens, the portion of dividends that are greater than the taxable income are treated differently.
Here's how that played out for shareholders last year:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>$2.17598 per share was classified as ordinary income</li>
<li>$0.94952 per share was classified as a nontaxable distribution</li>
</ul>
That nontaxable portion isn't free money. It reduces the investor's cost basis in the stock, which can lead to higher capital gains taxes if and when the shares are sold. But for long-term holders, that trade-off can be more favorable than paying ordinary income tax every year on the full dividend amount.
In short: depreciation lets investors defer taxes today and potentially pay a lower rate later.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Realty Income Is A Favorite Among REIT Investors</h2>
Most investors are drawn to Realty Income for its reliable dividend and consistent growth.
Earlier this month, the company announced its 131st dividend increase since being listed on the NYSE, bumping the monthly payout from $0.2685 to $0.2690 per share. That may not sound like much, but when you compound reliable growth over decades, it adds up.
Despite ongoing challenges in the real estate market, analysts still see upside for the stock. Recent price targets from UBS, Scotiabank, and Wedbush suggest an average price target of $60.33, compared to the current price near $57.75. And that's on top of a 5.61% yield.
Realty Income isn't just a favorite among retail investors, it's also a sizable holding for several large institutional investors, like Vanguard Group Inc, BlackRock Inc. and State Street Corporation, which collectively hold nearly 300 million shares valued at over $17 billion.&nbsp;
But this isn't the only real estate play that's been gaining the attention of major Wall Street firms.&nbsp;
In 2024, there were more than $1.1 billion in securitizations for an asset class that has been flying under the radar until recently, and that number is expected to more than double this year.
This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wall-street-quietly-moved-into-a-34-trillion-market-now-accredited-investors-can-too">emerging asset class</a> lets investors capture the upside of rising home values with a built-in cushion if prices fall.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">There's Over $34 Trillion Trapped In This Corner Of The Real Estate Market</h2>
While Realty Income is built on commercial tenants like Walgreens, 7-Eleven, and FedEx, there's a parallel real estate market that may be even more compelling: owner-occupied home equity.
Americans have more than $34 trillion in equity tied up in their homes, a number that has more than tripled since 2013. And some of the biggest names on Wall Street have figured out how to tap into this growth.&nbsp;
The strategy involves something called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wall-street-quietly-moved-into-a-34-trillion-market-now-accredited-investors-can-too">Home Equity Agreements</a> (HEAs), and if you've never heard of this before it's because individual investors have been excluded from participating in this growing market. Until now anyway…
One of the first companies to begin operating in the home equity market recently launched a new fund available to individual accredited investors – <a href="https://nada.sjv.io/c/1193480/3013486/19981">U.S. Home Equity Fund I</a>. The fund is targeting a 14%-17% net IRR to investors with a strategy that can provide positive returns even in a market downturn.&nbsp;
<a href="https://nada.sjv.io/c/1193480/3013486/19981">See how investors are gaining access to this $34 trillion market and what sets this fund apart.&nbsp;</a>

How Realty Income Investors Are Benefiting From One Of Real Estate's Most Overlooked Tax Advantages

Wells Fargo's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.4% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 38.81 million shares sold short, which is 1.2% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.11 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?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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Wells Fargo has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Wells Fargo'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Wells Fargo's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 0.90%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

In the current session, Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) is trading at $229.00, after a 2.64% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 28.65%, and in the past year, by 26.67%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750359618_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Lululemon Athletica P/E Relative to Its 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. 
Lululemon Athletica has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 58.67 of the Textiles, Apparel &amp; Luxury Goods 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/2025/1750359618_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.

In an age of hot stock tips and perpetually changing fund strategies, the just-launched Rainwater Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RW#NYSE">RW</a>) is taking a more subdued sort of confidence, one predicated on steady recurring revenue, consistent leadership, and the value of doing what has worked before.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/46005846/how-to-invest-in-fannie-maes-comeback-with-housing-focused-etfs">How To Invest In Fannie Mae&#8217;s Comeback With Housing-Focused ETFs</a>
Led by Joseph R. Shaposhnik, a veteran TCW portfolio manager with an impressive record, Rainwater is making a move against what it believes are the mutual fund industry&#8217;s greatest transgressions: over-diversification, style drift, and surprise tax charges. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">The fund</a> comes with a cornerstone contribution from Bill Miller, the venerable investor who managed to beat the S&amp;P 500 for 15 consecutive years at Legg Mason.
With an expense ratio of 1.25%, the game plan of the fund is to acquire a closely held cluster of businesses whose customers continue to return. We&#8217;re referring to companies with subscription or contract-based models, software firms, trash haulers, auto part producers, and exchanges, that are apt to provide free cash flow as regularly as a clock. The portfolio will own only 20 to 30 such names, focusing on quality rather than quantity, and regularity rather than flash. 
In contrast with the index-hugging crowds, Rainwater&#8217;s approach is founded on holding onto high-conviction views for the long term, not playing follow-the-lead headlines for a quarter. Shaposhnik focuses on a low-turnover, tax-savvy strategy that&#8217;s half about compounding over time and half about not messing things up unnecessarily.
In addition to the portfolio building, the fund relies heavily on alignment — not only in principle but in practice. Shaposhnik has his own money in the ETF, and there are no performance fees or complicated overlays. Just a disciplined, concentrated approach with the long-term investor in mind.
And while the ETF space isn't exactly short on new entrants, Rainwater's lineage gives it added weight. It joins a growing list of firms launched by former TCW managers, following the footsteps of others who turned boutique spinouts into marquee franchises.
For fatigued financial advisers of style drift and tax theatrics, and for clients who prefer steady, compoundable growth to rollercoaster experiences, Rainwater&#8217;s strategy might seem like, a sip of fresh water.

Bill Miller-Backed Rainwater ETF Bets On Boring—And That's The Point

In 2025, cannabis isn't a gold rush. It's a grind.
Most stocks are down more than 90% from their highs. Capital is tight. Retail shelves are crowded with low-margin products. At this year's Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Chicago, the optimism of earlier cycles gave way to something more sober: survival talk.
Two industry veterans, Rachel Wright, CPA and founder of Verdant Strategies and 420 CPA, and Seth Yakatan, founder of Katan Associates International, offered candid, unfiltered perspectives on what's really happening behind the scenes. Wright, one of the earliest CPAs to specialize in cannabis, works closely with operators navigating complex tax rules, compliance and expansion. Yakatan, a fixture in capital markets and early-stage investing, has guided dozens of companies through growth, collapse and realignment.
They're still standing. And they're not sugarcoating anything.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Chaos To Compliance: &#8216;We Actually Have Banking Now&#8217;</h2>
When Wright first started working in cannabis more than a decade ago, most businesses didn't have books — or if they did, they were a mess.
"We would have to essentially create books for people based on information that we had — POS systems, if they had a cash ledger, things like that," she said. "Fast forward a few years, now we actually do have banking… we also have real legit payroll companies that are supporting the industry."
The maturation of professional services, from accounting to legal support, is helping operators run cleaner, more efficient businesses. But Wright says success still hinges on who's in charge.
"Sometimes the founders need to step aside and hire the professionals," she said. "And let the professionals do what the professionals do."
Operational discipline isn't optional anymore. She cited price compression across all markets as one of the biggest threats, especially in newer states like New York, where companies don't get a long runway before margin pressure kicks in. "You have to learn how to operate a real business. Data is key. Cash is king. Managing that is really, really key."
Over the last 12 months, Wright says her firm helped save cannabis clients more than $50 million through tax amendments and audit work. And despite years of industry lobbying to eliminate Section 280E of the federal tax code, she doesn't see it as a death sentence.
"I think 280E is navigable," she said. "I don't see it as much of a problem — and not as much of a motivation to reschedule."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;If The Government Gives, It's Going To Take Away&#8217;</h2>
That last point surprised many attendees. While most operators have called for federal rescheduling to fix 280E burdens, Wright takes a contrarian stance.
"I want to preserve the small and medium-sized businesses. We don't want 7-Elevens carrying cannabis," she said. "I like to preserve the culture — the people who've been in this industry for a long time."
For Wright, rescheduling isn't a guaranteed win. It's a trade-off.
"If the government gives, it's going to take away," she warned. "It's not going to give a free carrot to us at all. It's going to come with a price."
That price, in her view, could be new excise taxes that ultimately harm small businesses more than 280E ever did.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Don't Believe The Hype&#8217;: Yakatan On Capital, THCA And Europe</h2>
Seth Yakatan didn't mince words either.
"You're at a really tough spot in the industry," he said. "The models that were underwritten… haven't largely worked. Or some of them haven't worked."
For existing operators, his advice is simple: "Go in and dominate the markets you're in and hold serve."
For new investors? Proceed with caution.
"I'm telling them to analyze each macro state-level economy that they're looking at," he said. "Base your future investment judgment on historical survival performance."
When asked about hemp-derived THCA products, a booming but controversial segment, Yakatan was blunt:
"Don't believe the hype. Cannabis and hemp are not markets for tourists. Stay out if you're not in. And if you're in, you know what you know."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hype vs. Reality: Where The Smart Money's Looking</h2>
Yakatan says there's still opportunity, especially in private lower-middle market companies with functioning models, but it's no longer a race for scale.
"It's a game of pennies now," he said. "Pennies add up."
On the product side, he flagged one trend that's both overhyped and legitimate: infused pre-rolls. Brands like Jeter, Stiiizy and Aura are dominating SKU velocity, and two-gram disposable vapes are next.
"In markets where they're not [common], they're going to come," he said.
Wright echoed the importance of staying agile across geographies, product verticals and structure. Whether asset-light or asset-heavy, she said, the best strategy depends on the market.
"We need to evolve geographically, product, service offering, verticals," she said. "In some states, you might want to go asset-heavy. In others, you might want to go asset-light and just get your brand out."
Both Wright and Yakatan acknowledged the pull of international markets, especially Europe. Yakatan called Germany's rollout "part of the &#8216;soup du jour&#8217; in news cycles," and cautioned that many U.S. companies are using European hype to distract from domestic struggles.
"Seven of the 30 largest U.S. cannabis companies have a European operation story that's masking other issues inside the business," he said.

Wright, on the other hand, is already active in Europe and says her international tax background made it a natural next step.
"I was ecstatic," she said of cannabis expanding in Europe. "I started planting seeds, getting to know people — movers and shakers — that are already there."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line: Run A Real Business</h2>
Wright and Yakatan may operate in different parts of the cannabis economy, but their core message is the same: survive by getting serious.
No shortcuts. No saviors. Just smart, lean, experienced leadership.
"Where I see people failing," said Wright, "is in efficiencies, staffing, leadership team, a full business plan… It's really just like running a business. It's the fundamentals at the end of the day."

'Hold The Line Or Pivot Hard': Cannabis Industry Veterans Sound Off On Surviving 2025

At last week&#8217;s Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Chicago, one of the most forward-looking conversations centered around a deceptively simple question: Is AI part of your strategy?
Moderated by Julie Valdes of Thompson Hine, the panel featured David Belsky (FlowerHire), Rocco Del Priore (Sweed), Kyle Castanon (Elevated Equipment Supply), David Fettner (Grow America) and David Peck (Headquarters). Across cultivation, HR, retail, finance and compliance, the group explored how AI is already reshaping operations across the cannabis supply chain—and where it might go next.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI Is Already Here (And So Is The Confusion)</h3>
While some operators still view artificial intelligence as a vague or futuristic concept, panelists were clear: AI is already making an impact.
&#8220;AI is not going to take your job,&#8221; said Castanon. &#8220;But the guy who knows AI is going to take your job.&#8221;
For cannabis companies, that means getting comfortable with the tools now. Castanon emphasized how his company&#8217;s cultivation clients are using AI to make crucial decisions in real time. For instance:
"We're really looking at about a quarter million lines of data for every harvest… there&#8217;s like a 2-day window of when you should be pruning your plants… if you don't hit that, you'll lose about 20% of your yields."
Fettner backed this up from a facility design perspective:
"AI will probably pick [up disease] 10 to 14 days sooner… and that eventually all goes to the bottom line and saves the harvest."
In other words, the tech isn't theoretical. It's practical. It's measurable. And it's being used today.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Data: The Weakest Link</h3>
Still, AI is only as good as the data it ingests. And for cannabis, that's a problem.
&#8220;The biggest challenge is the messy data across different systems,&#8221; said Peck. &#8220;AI can only work as well as the data that it has in the system.&#8221;
That sentiment was echoed across the panel. Disconnected POS, ERP and HR systems make implementation difficult. According to Del Priore:
"Right now, you have a bunch of systems that function like a car. You&#8217;re driving them. In the future, AI will do a lot of that work for you. But if you&#8217;re on the racetrack, do you want to be driving a self-driving Corolla or a self-driving Ferrari?"
Translation: You need both the horsepower and the data clarity to compete.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Retail And Marketing: Low-Hanging Fruit</h3>
While cultivation gets a lot of attention, retail may offer the easiest entry point.
Del Priore described a world of hyperpersonalized outreach: emails and messages that understand customer preferences and prompt them to act, automatically.
"There's a lot of smaller operators that don't have a marketing team… What happens when the AI starts to suggest those things for you and reduce it down to a click?"
AI-driven POS integrations can even predict what a customer is about to buy:
"From a customer perspective&#8230; there's always like this eureka moment that our customers have when AI pays off in a big way," said Castanon.
Peck highlighted another area: wholesale orders. His company has implemented AI substitution logic to help brands fill multi-store orders more efficiently:
"If Blue Dream is out of stock, it finds something similar with the same THC percentage… before, people were sort of losing those orders."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI In HR: Talent Strategy Meets Automation</h3>
Belsky offered insight into how lean cannabis HR teams can deploy AI to extend their reach.
"There's tools now where the first interview for a job, especially an hourly job, is with one of these sorts of AI agents that sounds super personal and is responsive," he said.
These bots can ask and answer basic employee questions, flag learning gaps, and even conduct initial screens, freeing up time for hiring managers.
Peck added that strategic alignment is key:
"I think internally it should be the CEO [leading AI adoption] because it's such an important decision… You want the CEO to be really bought into that."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line: Don&#8217;t Wait</h3>
Every speaker stressed urgency. Whether it's internal policy development, data cleansing, or tool selection, companies must begin preparing now.
"In a few years, if you're not using some kind of AI tool, you're a dinosaur," said Castanon.
AI won't fix a broken business model. But it can sharpen strategy, reveal patterns, and supercharge productivity. And in an industry known for thin margins and constant change, that might be the difference between survival and extinction

AI Isn't Magic, But It Might Save Your Cannabis Business: Experts Explain Why

A recent caller to &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJiPBm2i-gY">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; shared how ongoing custody disputes with two former partners are draining both his bank account and mental health. The man, Tanner, told hosts Jade Warshaw and Dave Ramsey that legal costs now consume half of every paycheck.
&#8220;It's kind of taken over half of every one of my paychecks,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I'm trying to find the balance between trying to do what&#8217;s right for my kids and be financially responsible at the same time.&#8221;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fighting To See His Kids</h2>
Tanner, now 30, had a son with his ex-wife when he was 22 and still in college. Later, he had a daughter with a girlfriend before graduating, who left during the pregnancy and hasn't allowed him to meet the child.
Though Tanner had a 50/50 custody agreement for his son, he said he hasn't seen him in over a year. His ex-wife and the ex-girlfriend have since become friends and have made legal proceedings more difficult.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never met my daughter&#8230; and my son I haven&#8217;t seen in over a year,&#8221; he said.
Warshaw asked if there were any legitimate reasons for the women to keep the children from him. Tanner said no, claiming he has no history of substance abuse or violence. He acknowledged that the second woman had made abuse allegations, which he denied.

Legal delays and complications have stretched the conflict for years. &#8220;I filed something immediately&#8230; we showed up to a hearing in May of last year,&#8221; Tanner explained. &#8220;It was 5:30 and the judge said, &#8216;Y'all go home, we'll schedule for another date.'&#8221;
To make matters worse, his attorney died last year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey&#8217;s Take</h2>
Ramsey came out swinging. He told Tanner the system had failed him, and his passive legal approach wasn't working.
&#8220;You need to get a lawyer that is much smarter and much meaner than the lawyer that you&#8217;ve had,&#8221; Ramsey said. &#8220;It&#8217;s way past time playing nice here.&#8221;
See Also: <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.
He urged Tanner to go on the offensive: file multiple motions, pressure the courts, and create enough legal action to force progress.
&#8220;Sometimes the best defense is a good offense,&#8221; Ramsey said. &#8220;I want an attorney who&#8217;s filing like seven motions every morning just to piss everybody off, including the judge.&#8221;
Ramsey acknowledged how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45645846/64-year-old-retiree-is-expecting-a-baby-cant-work-and-has-no-money-dave-ramsey-admits-theres-not-a-good-answer-to-that-bad-situation">overwhelming the situation</a> had become.
&#8220;You&#8217;re burning all your calories on these issues,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You&#8217;re getting the runaround rather than giving the runaround.&#8221;&nbsp;
In closing, Ramsey gave Tanner two options: hire an aggressive attorney and fight hard, or walk away and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45829894/lock-arms-and-write-a-pledge-in-blood-dave-ramsey-scolds-broke-couple-for-blowing-30k-on-solar-panels-youre-so-freaking-chaotic">face the consequences</a> later. Either way, he warned, the legal system is unforgiving.
&#8220;It sucks and it will drain you dry,&#8221; Ramsey said.

<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.

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around Nutanix?

In the current market session, Gen Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEN#NASDAQ">GEN</a>) stock price is at $29.19, after a 1.95% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 5.76%, and in the past year, by 21.22%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750356018_0_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Gen Digital 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 98.29 in the Software industry, Gen Digital Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 28.9. 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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750356018_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

A Look Into Gen Digital Inc's Price Over Earnings

A sprawling trove of over 16 billion login credentials tied to platforms like Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Facebook (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has surfaced online, marking one of the most extensive exposures of personal data in history, according to cybersecurity researchers tracking infostealer activity.
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered 30 massive data collections this year alone, each containing tens of millions to over 3.5 billion user credentials, Cybernews <a href="https://cybernews.com/security/billions-credentials-exposed-infostealers-data-leak/">reported</a>.
These previously unreported datasets were briefly accessible through misconfigured cloud storage or Elasticsearch instances, giving the researchers just enough time to detect them, though not enough to trace their origin.
The findings paint a troubling picture of how widespread and organized credential leaks have become, with login information originating from malware known as infostealers. 
These malicious programs siphon usernames, passwords, and session data from infected machines, usually structured as a combination of a URL, username, and password.
The leaked credentials span a wide range of services from tech giants like Apple, Facebook, and Google, to platforms such as GitHub, Telegram, and various government portals. 
Some datasets were explicitly labeled to suggest their source, such as &#8220;Telegram&#8221; or a reference to the Russian Federation. 
Others bore generic names like &#8220;logins&#8221; or &#8220;credentials.&#8221;
Researchers say these leaks are not just a case of old data resurfacing.

Many of the records appear recent and structured in ways that make them especially useful for cybercriminals looking to run phishing campaigns, hijack accounts, or compromise corporate systems lacking multi-factor authentication.
What's more alarming is the scale: while it's impossible to determine how many unique individuals are affected due to overlapping records, the average dataset uncovered held 550 million records. 
One dataset alone contained more than 3.5 billion records, with another 455 million believed to originate from Russian sources.
Although some of these datasets may have been compiled by security researchers monitoring dark web activity, experts believe a significant portion is controlled by threat actors. 
Cybercriminals value such databases for their ability to scale up attacks, even a fraction-of-a-percent success rate could impact millions.
The incident underscores a critical weakness in digital security: even if your system is secure, your credentials may already be circulating due to past breaches or infostealer infections. With companies tightening access to search APIs and data channels, datasets like these grow more valuable and dangerous.
Users are advised to practice strong cybersecurity hygiene, using complex, regularly changed passwords and scanning systems for malware, as a frontline defense against these kinds of mass credential exposures.

Apple, Google and Facebook Among Services Exposed In Massive Leak of More Than 16 Billion Login Records

In September 2024, Aurora Cannabis Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACB#NASDAQ">ACB</a>) launched a CBD lozenge in collaboration with Vectura Fertin Pharma (now Aspeya, Inc.), a pharmaceutical firm owned by Philip Morris International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>). The dissolvable product, branded Luo, debuted on Aurora&#8217;s medical platform in Canada.
To some observers, it looked like a stealth alignment between cannabis and Big Tobacco. But according to Aurora CEO Miguel Martin, the story is more nuanced.
"Our relationship really is with Vectura Fertin," said Martin, noting the company now goes by the name Aspeya. "It's a broader health and wellness company, and it's really not so much with PMI, even though they have their own connection."
Aurora's strategy, he says, is grounded in medical science, not brand crossovers.
"We have always had a very conservative, pharmaceutically minded approach," Martin told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">Benzinga</a>. "To be able to partner with someone with [Vectura's] history, and particularly the technology they were bringing to ingestible cannabinoids, was exciting for us."
The companies launched the Luo lozenge in Canada as a physician-authorized product for patients seeking controlled CBD delivery. Aurora handles distribution through its direct-to-patient ecommerce platform. Martin said the partnership has been well-received and could expand in the future.
"This is really about learning and understanding… how that kind of science-based, medical approach is received. And it's been very well received," he said. "Our patients have enjoyed them. Hopefully, there's opportunity for other brand extensions."

When asked whether this represented a deeper alignment with legacy industries, Martin was clear:
"Right now, it's about partnering and working with thoughtful, science-based, medically oriented companies," he said.
Aurora has similar relationships with prescribers, wholesalers and pharmaceutical partners across markets like Germany, Australia and the UK.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Pharma-First Cannabis Strategy</h3>
The Luo lozenge deal, combined with Aurora's global medical push and Canada-first manufacturing strategy, fits into a broader vision Martin has reinforced consistently: that cannabis should follow pharmaceutical norms—from delivery methods to regulatory rigor.

"We're experts in medical cannabis," he said. "That's where all of our profitability comes from. If a partnership helps us improve patient outcomes and deliver consistency, we're open to it."
For now, that means dissolvable CBD lozenges backed by pharma-grade R&amp;D. Whether future deals bring Aurora closer to companies like PMI remains to be seen. But Martin insists the priority is patients, not optics.
"If it wasn't additive or accretive to our financials, we wouldn't do it," he said. "We don't chase headlines—we build around what works."

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Pradnya Desh, the founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45229632/supio-raises-60m-series-b-with-backing-from-thomson-reuters-ventures-sapphire-ventures-and-mayfield-to-accelerate-ai-adoption-in-legal-industry">legal</a> tech startup Advocat, is entering politics with a bid for Bellevue City Council in Washington state, hoping to bring her tech-rooted problem-solving mindset to local government. Desh, a former U.S. diplomat and attorney, <a href="https://www.electdesh.com/">says</a> she believes that the public sector can benefit from the iterative, builder-style approach that drives startups forward.
According to <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/if-somethings-broken-you-solve-it-why-this-startup-founder-is-running-for-bellevue-city-council/">GeekWire</a>, her platform focuses on improving housing, transportation, social equity, and public safety, with a heavy emphasis on building Bellevue into a leading hub for startups and innovation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bellevue's Startup Ecosystem Gets A Tech Insider Candidate</h2>
Desh launched Advocat to provide AI-powered legal tools to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44868492/art-of-the-steal-ross-gerber-says-small-businesses-get-to-go-bankrupt-while-trump-makes-exceptions-for-mag-7-chinese-imports">small businesses</a> priced out of traditional services. Now she's applying the same logic to civic challenges, advocating for smarter processes and more efficient systems, GeekWire reports.
"I want to bring a founder's mindset to government, the kind of thinking that we've used to solve problems," Desh told GeekWire. "Because in tech, if something's broken you don't just wait, you have to solve it. We study a problem, we build, we talk to users, we iterate, and we constantly make it better. And that is missing from government."
She is running against incumbent Councilmember Jared Nieuwenhuis for one of five open seats on the seven-member council, GeekWire says. According to her website, Desh has already secured endorsements from the King County Democrats, 41st Democrats, and several other local leaders.

As a trustee of Bellevue College and a mother of three, Desh told GeekWire that her commitment to the region is both professional and personal. &#8220;I want to see what I can do to help Bellevue now,&#8221; she said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Tech Has Moved In But Infrastructure Still Trails Behind</h2>
Bellevue has become a magnet for major tech companies including Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Zoom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>), Shopify (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>), Shein, TikTok parent ByteDance, and Snowflake (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), all of which have opened offices in the city. Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) also had a significant presence in the area in previous years, GeekWire reports.
Desh believes the city needs to act faster to keep up with the pace of innovation. "We have a lot of the dots, but they're not all connected," she told GeekWire, referring to the region's fragmented approach to infrastructure and economic development.
Desh envisions a more coordinated tech ecosystem that includes better transportation, more affordable housing, and deeper partnerships between local government, founders, and investors, according to her website.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desh Wants To Help Washington Rival The Bay Area For Startups</h2>
One of Desh's concerns is the recent push for new business taxes in Washington state, which she told GeekWire could drive innovation elsewhere. "We need to solve it in a different way," Desh said, expressing her frustration with policies that she believes contradict efforts to make Washington more attractive to startups.
She told GeekWire she sees her City Council campaign as a launchpad for broader impact, potentially leading to future roles at higher levels of government. For now, she's focused on Bellevue, a city she believes is uniquely positioned to set the tone for tech-centered growth across the Pacific Northwest.

원래 5월 22일 기한을 연장한 후 BHP는 추가 시간이 필요한 이유로 거래의 복잡한 구조를 언급했다.
이 회사는 독점금지나 규제 문제로 인해 합병이 중단될 경우 중단 수수료를 제시하기도 했다.
이 협상은 남아프리카공화국의 자산, 현지 소유권, 고용 안정 문제로 인해 어려움을 겪고 있다.
BHP는 앵글로의 요하네스버그 사무소에서 현재 고용 수준을 유지하고 증가된 직원 소유 비용을 공유하는 등 남아프리카공화국에 대해 약속을 했다.

이 드릴링 프로그램에는 1,000m의 다이아몬드 코어 드릴링과 3,000m의 파워 오거 드릴링이 포함된다.
목표는 기존 매장지에서 고품위의 광물을 확인하고 변동성이 높은 지대를 따라 새로운 목표를 탐색하는 것이다.
이 프로그램은 또한 12km x 7km 지역 내에서 지구화학적 이상 현상의 기반암 원인을 식별하는 것을 목표로 한다

2024년 4월 2일의 주요 광업 뉴스:
1. 일본제철(Nippon Steel)이 미국의 US 스틸(United States Steel)을 인수하기 위한 141억 달러의 입찰을 지원하는 데 대해서 미국 철강노조(United Steelworkers)에 대해 공식 약속을 했다.
이 약속에는 14억 달러의 자본 지출과 2026년까지 적어도 해고가 없다는 보장이 포함되어 있으며, 이들은 이에 대해 반대를 지속해 온 밥 케이시 (D-PA) 상원의원과 존 페터만 (D-PA) 상원의원에게 발신한 편지에 상세히 기재됐다.
미국 대통령 조 바이든 (Joe Biden)이 반대를 표명하고 있고, 미국 철강 산업의 소유권에 대한 우려가 컸지만, 닛폰 철강의 새로운 사장은 이 인수를 진행하기로 결심했다. 이에 따라 미국의 철강 산업을 활성화시키고 미 철강노조 노동자들과의 협력 관계를 유지할 것을 약속했다.
2. 이반호 일렉트릭 (Ivanhoe Electric) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IE#NYSE">IE</a>)은 몬태나주 호그 헤븐(Hog Heaven) 프로젝트에서 중요한 구리 탐사 결과를 발표했다. 이에 대해 회장 로버트 프리들랜드 (Robert Friedland)는 이 발견의 잠재력과 지속적인 탐사에 대한 약속을 강조했다.
이 회사는 최근 탐사 결과가 고순도의 구리 풍부 지역을 나타냈다고 결과를 보고했다. HHD-014 탐사는 광범위한 구리, 금 및 은 광물을 보여주는 성과를 나타냈으며, 이는 넓은 황화물 광물의 분포를 나타내며 유망한 형태계 시스템을 시사한다.
이 탐사 결과에는 0.63%의 구리를 함유한 82m 구간과 5.78%까지의 구리 함유한 고품위 지역을 포함하고 있으며, 이는 중요한 발견의 가능성을 보여주고 있다.
여러 방향으로 열려 있는 광물화는 타이푼(Typhoon) 조사 결과에 따라 반암 근원을 찾으려는 지속적인 노력을 강조한다.
3. 철광석 가격은 상승하고 있으며 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38030102/miners-cheer-as-chinas-manufacturers-continue-to-increase-pace">중국의 산업 경기 회복에 대한 낙관론</a>을 반영한 것이며, 이는 중국의 제조업 활동의 증가로 나타났다.
싱가포르 58% 철광석 선물 및 대련 거래소 선물은 모두 3.8% 상승했으나, 철광석 CME 선물은 0.3% 하락했다.
이번 상승의 배경은 중국의 긍정적인 구매관리자 지수 (PMI) 자료였다. 이번 자료는 중국 및 해외의 새로운 주문을 촉진시키고 생산량 및 원자재 구매를 높인 제조업의 5개월 연속적인 성장을 나타냈다.
3월 중국 차이신(Caixin) PMI 지수는 51.1로 상승하며 공급, 수요 및 사업자의 낙관론도 함께 증가했다.
4. 릴라이언스 (Reliance, Inc.) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>)가 북미 OEM 장비 제조에 중점을 두고 고강도 열간압연, 코팅 및 냉간압연 강판과 같은 제품을 제공하는 오하이오 소재 철강 서비스 센터인 미드웨스트 매터리얼즈 (Mid-West Materials)를 인수했다.
2023년 12월까지 미드웨스트의 연간 매출은 8700만달러였다.
이번 거래에 대한 자세한 내용은 공유되지 않았으며 미드웨스트 매터리얼즈 (MidWest Materials) 경영진 팀은 그대로 유지될 예정이다.
이번 인수는 사업 확장의 일환으로 이루어진 것으로 보인다.
