U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sold a substantial portion of her holdings in Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) on the same day President Donald Trump announced his new tariffs that shook up global markets, according to newly publicized records.
What Happened: On April 2, Bondi disclosed selling between $1 million and $5 million in Trump Media shares, and between $250,000 and $500,000 in related warrants. On the same day, after the markets closed, Trump declared a major trade policy shift: tariffs that sent the market into a nosedive. Trump Media stocks tumbled 13% in the following days, after which they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44724530/trump-media-stock-soars-hours-after-president-says-its-a-great-time-to-buy-what-you-need-to-know">bounced back</a>. The disclosure form, reviewed and first reported <a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/pam-bondi-trump-media-stock-tariffs">by</a> ProPublica, lists the date of Bondi&#8217;s transaction but does not specify whether her sale happened before or after Trump's announcement, which came late in the day.

Why It Matters: As per federal law, officials are prohibited from utilizing insider information for personal profit, but legal principles for proving these violations are limited and difficult to enforce. 
Bondi previously worked as a consultant for Digital World Acquisition Corp., a company that merged with Trump Media. When assuming her role as the Attorney General, she pledged to divest her stake in Trump Media within 90 days of confirmation as part of her ethics agreement.
Bondi is the latest figure within the Trump administration facing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45280140/marjorie-taylor-greenes-hearing-disrupted-by-insider-trading-scrutiny-maybe-its-a-coincidence-says-jasmine-crockett-on-mtg-buying-stocks-before-trumps-90-day-tariff-pause">accusations of insider trading</a> in connection with purchases made before Trump's tariff announcement. Last week, democrats brought similar allegations against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
Price Action:  Trump Media stock closed on Thursday down 4.03% at $24.98. The stock was up 0.56% pre-market Friday, trading at $25.12 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why Quantum Computing Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 12%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's distaste for remote work is widely known by now. A long-time opponent, Dimon spoke about the company's return-to-office mandate on Thursday: "I think our employees will be happier over time. And the younger people will learn the right way, it&#8217;s an apprenticeship system. And you can&#8217;t learn working from your basement."
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-15/jpmorgan-s-dimon-on-work-from-home-rant-i-emoted-a-little-bit">interview</a> with Bloomberg Television, Dimon said, "I think our employees will be happier over time," he added. "And the younger people learn the right way, it is an apprenticeship system and you can't learn working from your basement."
He noted that almost 10% of the bank's employees remain remote. In his remarks at JPMorgan's annual Global Markets Conference in Paris, Dimon added to his previous comments, saying, "I completely applaud your right to not want to go to the office every day. But you're not going to tell JPMorgan what to do."
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45453976/jp-morgans-investor-day-looms-why-this-could-set-the-stocks-next-move"> JPMorgan Investor Day Looms, Here Are 5 Core Topics To Watch</a>
Dimon was even more blunt in a leaked audio recording obtained <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jamie-dimon-every-comment-work-from-home-employee-remote-2025-5">by</a> Business Insider, where he said, "A lot of you were on the fu&#x2A;&#x2A;ing Zoom and you were doing the following: looking at your mail, sending texts to each other about what an asshole the other person is, not paying attention, not reading your stuff."
In the same audio, he also dismissed hybrid models, saying, "Don't give me this s&#x2A;&#x2A;t that work-from-home-Fridays works. I call a lot of people on Fridays, and there's not a goddamn person you can get a hold of."
Why It Matters: Dimon's latest comments align with views he has previously expressed about remote work. Earlier this year, he highlighted that it was mainly white-collar workers who seem to reject remote work, while frontline workers continue to work on-site as their jobs demand. Referring to their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44300682/jamie-dimon-doubles-down-on-work-from-home-criticism-where-did-you-get-your-amazon-packages">work during the pandemic</a>, he asked: &#8220;Where did you get your Amazon packages from? Your beef, your meat, your vodka? Where did you get the diapers from?&#8221;
At a town hall in Columbus, Ohio, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43757032/jamie-dimon-goes-off-on-return-to-office-critics-you-dont-have-to-work-at-jpmorgan">Dimon rebuked employees</a> who challenged the bank's five-day office mandate. He brushed off requests for flexible schedules, arguing that remote work suppresses creativity and delays decision-making.
In a March town hall meeting in Dallas, Texas, Dimon highlighted his belief that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44447865/jamie-dimon-reveals-he-will-remain-jpmorgans-ceo-for-few-more-years-jokes-he-wont-swear-this-time">young workers in particular benefit</a> most by working from the office instead of home.

Jamie Dimon Says Don't 'Tell JPMorgan What To Do' As He Tells Remote Workers, 'You Can't Learn Working From Your Basement,' Defending RTO Crackdown

U.S. President Donald Trump has declared the signing of deals worth over $200 billion between the United States and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 
What Happened: A substantial portion of these agreements involves a $14.5 billion commitment from Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and Etihad Airways. The Abu Dhabi-based airline confirmed on Friday that it has placed an order for 28 wide-body Boeing aircraft fitted with GE engines, reported Reuters.
Etihad Airways stated that the new aircraft, set to join the fleet from 2028, align with the company&#8217;s &#8220;ongoing approach to aligning its fleet with evolving network and operational needs.&#8221; 
According to its CEO Antonoaldo Neves, Etihad plans to add 20 to 22 new planes in 2025 as part of its goal to grow its fleet to over 170 aircraft by 2030 and support Abu Dhabi&#8217;s economic diversification efforts.
The White House earlier announced that Etihad had committed to a $14.5 billion investment to purchase 28 Boeing 787 and 777X aircraft equipped with GE engines.

Why It Matters: The deal comes on the heels of President Trump&#8217;s recent $1.2 trillion &#8216;Made in America&#8217; win, where Boeing, GE and other companies secured a mega-deal with Qatar. The economic agreements between the United States and Qatar totaled over $243.5 billion, which included a significant sale of Boeing aircraft and GE Aerospace <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/05/45434792/trumps-12-trillion-made-in-america-win-boeing-ge-and-others-secure-qatar-mega-deal">engines </a>to Qatar Airways for $96 billion.
However, economist Peter Schiff warned that such massive deals could potentially spike US inflation and interest rates, citing America&#8217;s structural vulnerabilities. Schiff highlighted the potential financial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/05/45427289/peter-schiff-warns-qatars-200-billion-boeing-deal-could-spike-us-inflation-interest-rates-says-treasury-sell-off-may-follow">fallout </a>of Boeing's mega deal with Qatar, which involves acquiring 160 jets for its state-owned carrier, Qatar Airways.
Boeing holds a momentum rating of 90.53% and a growth rating of 12.20%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

Applied Materials, Flowers Foods And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) asked a federal judge on Thursday to throw out the Federal Trade Commission&#8217;s antitrust case, arguing the agency failed to prove Meta maintained an illegal social media monopoly through its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp.
What Happened: The request comes midway through a high-stakes trial that began April 14, where the FTC has sought to establish that Meta dominated the market for social platforms used to share updates with friends and family, Reuters reported. The FTC is seeking to unwind Meta&#8217;s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, deals completed more than a decade ago.
Meta argues the evidence presented at trial shows WhatsApp had no plans to expand into a social network rival to Facebook, and that Instagram only grew after its acquisition. The company also contends the FTC failed to meaningfully distinguish between supposed friends-and-family sharing apps and content platforms like TikTok.
&#8220;The through line connecting all of these social apps is that each vies to show the most compelling user-generated content so that it can take as much user time and attention as possible from the other apps, including Meta&#8217;s apps,&#8221; the company said in its filing.

Why It Matters: The FTC&#8217;s case centers on allegations that Meta employed a &#8220;buy or bury&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44821791/meta-platforms-used-buy-or-bury-strategy-to-monopolize-social-media-ftc-says">strategy to neutralize competition</a>. Prosecutors highlighted a 2008 email where CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly stated it was &#8220;better to buy than compete,&#8221; framing the acquisitions as tactics to eliminate rising competitors.
Zuckerberg, who testified for three hours on the trial&#8217;s first day, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44821791/meta-platforms-used-buy-or-bury-strategy-to-monopolize-social-media-ftc-says">argued the acquisitions were necessary to adapt</a> to evolving user preferences and pointed to competition from TikTok and YouTube Shorts as evidence of a dynamic market.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg could decline to rule on Meta&#8217;s request and allow the trial to continue into June, the report noted. If he doesn&#8217;t grant Meta&#8217;s motion, both sides will file final briefs and present closing arguments after Meta completes its evidence presentation.
Former FTC Chair Lina Khan, who stepped down in January, previously stated there is &#8220;no expiration date when it comes to the illegality of the transaction,&#8221; underscoring the agency&#8217;s position that Meta&#8217;s acquisitions remain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44799581/no-expiration-date-on-metas-antitrust-case-says-former-ftc-chair-ahead-of-trial">subject to regulatory scrutiny</a>.

Meta Asks Judge To Dismiss FTC Antitrust Case Mid-Trial, Says Instagram, WhatsApp Deals Didn't Create Monopoly

Mediterranean fast-casual chain CAVA Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAVA#NYSE">CAVA</a>) is confidently progressing towards its ambitious goal of operating 1,000 restaurants by 2032, the company announced during its first-quarter 2025 earnings call.
What Happened: Despite broader economic uncertainties and potential headwinds, CEO Brett Schulman emphasized the brand&#8217;s strong momentum and reaffirmed its long-term strategic vision.
&#8220;We are well on our way to our goal of at least 1,000 restaurants by 2032, creating more spaces where connection, community, and Mediterranean hospitality can thrive,&#8221; Schulman stated during the call.
This expansion is being fueled by a robust first quarter, which saw a healthy 10.8% growth in same-restaurant sales, driven by a significant 7.5% rise in traffic.
The company also opened 15 new restaurants in the quarter, bringing its total count to 382.
Adding to investor confidence, Schulman addressed concerns regarding the potential impact of Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs on the company&#8217;s supply chain. &#8220;That said, our exposure remains limited based on the current policies, which are fluid, given that the majority of our ingredients are domestically sourced or covered under existing contracts,&#8221; he added.
CAVA also celebrated surpassing $1 billion in revenue on a trailing 12-month basis, a significant milestone highlighting its leadership in the category. &#8220;A milestone that is a testament to Mediterranean becoming the next large-scale cultural cuisine category, a category we have firmly established our leadership in,&#8221; Schulman noted.
The company also highlighted the success of its reimagined loyalty program, which has seen sales through the program increase by 340 basis points as a percentage of total revenue, with membership approaching 8 million.

Why It Matters: The Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant chain company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/05/45453995/cava-group-reports-q1-earnings-revenue-jumps-28-company-bumps-up-new-restaurant-openings-guidance">first-quarter revenue</a> increased 28.2% year-over-year to $331.83 million, beating the consensus estimate of $326.88 million, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
It also reported first-quarter adjusted earnings of 22 cents per share, beating analyst estimates of 14 cents per share.
CAVA maintains its previous forecast for full-year same-restaurant sales growth at 6% to 8%, while increasing its new restaurant opening projections for the year to between 64 and 68, up from the prior range of 62 to 66.
Shares of CAVA fell 0.48% on Thursday. The stock was down 14% on a year-to-date basis, but 28.12% higher over a year.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that CAVA had a stronger price trend over the short term but a weaker trend over the medium and long term. Its momentum ranking was moderate at the 46.27th percentile, whereas its value ranking was poor at the 8.76th percentile; the details of other metrics are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">available here</a>.

CAVA On Track With Ambitious Expansion Plans Of Having 1,000 Restaurants By 2032: Trump Tariff 'Exposure Remains Limited,' Says CEO

Despite the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45430137/trump-had-a-problem-with-tim-cook-president-says-he-told-apple-ceo-i-dont-want-you-building-in-india-amid-tariff-concerns-and-production-shift-from-china">recent criticism from U.S.</a> President Donald Trump, India remains committed to its growing partnership with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
What Happened: The Tim Cook-led company has reassured the Indian government of its commitment to continue using India as a major manufacturing base. This assurance comes despite Trump&#8217;s recent remarks, with government sources emphasizing that there is &#8220;no change&#8221; in Apple&#8217;s investment plans in India, as <a href="https://www.cnbctv18.com/technology/apple-manufacturing-us-president-donald-trump-comments-india-reaction-19605132.htm">per</a> a CNBC-TV18 report.
Rajoo Goel, Secretary General of the Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA), responded to Trump&#8217;s criticism by underplaying its potential impact. He suggested that while it may slightly slow things down, it is unlikely to significantly affect India, given its minor share in Apple&#8217;s global market. 
Goel referred to Trump&#8217;s remarks as &#8220;just a statement,&#8221; asserting that India&#8217;s electronics manufacturing sector is on &#8220;a very strong footing.&#8221; The Secretary General also anticipates that President Trump would change his stance on this matter.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Another Indian government official told India Today that companies like Apple make decisions based on global competitiveness rather than political rhetoric. &#8220;Apple would be more concerned about where they would find manufacturing competitiveness,&#8221; stated the official.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent criticism of Apple&#8217;s manufacturing expansion in India comes after he revealed that he had a &#8220;little problem&#8221; with Apple CEO Tim Cook about the tech giant's manufacturing expansion in India. This followed a conversation between Trump and Cook, where Trump stated that Cook intends to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45417037/apple-may-up-its-numbers-amid-china-tariff-truce-trump-talks-500-billion-us-investment-after-tim-coo">boost </a>Apple's investment in U.S. operations.
However, CNBC's Jim Cramer warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45435170/jim-cramer-says-this-will-hurt-apple-president-trump-making-it-tough">Apple could face challenges</a> in India due to Trump's trade policies. He stated that Trump is making it tough for Apple in India, potentially hurting the tech giant&#8217;s operations. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Apple is considering raising prices for its upcoming iPhones but would avoid revealing that the potential hike is related to U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made parts, where most of its assembly takes place.
Despite these criticisms, India&#8217;s electronics industry remains optimistic about its partnership with Apple, suggesting that Trump&#8217;s comments are unlikely to have a significant impact on their ongoing operations. That being said, Apple&#8217;s high-end models like the Pro and Pro Max will continue to be made mainly in China, as India&#8217;s infrastructure and technical capabilities are not yet sufficient for large-scale production at that level, as per experts.
Apple holds a momentum rating of 61.99% and a quality rating of 75.73%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>. 
Apple stock has declined 13.29% during the year-to-date period.

Multinational retailer Walmart Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) e-commerce businesses turned profitable for the first time in the U.S. and globally during the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal year despite looming tariff uncertainties.
What Happened: CEO Doug McMillon expressed optimism over the company&#8217;s e-commerce initiatives during the earnings call and highlighted that it&#8217;s not only serving its customers and members but also making their business more profitable with higher returns over time.
&#8220;We achieved eCommerce profitability, both in the U.S. as well as for the global enterprise in Q1 for the first time, an important milestone for our company,&#8221; he said.
Globally, Walmart&#8217;s e-commerce business grew by 22%, with each segment delivering growth of at least 20%.
The three segments of its e-commerce businesses encompassed growth from Walmart U.S., Walmart International, and its Sam&#8217;s Club U.S. businesses.
&#8220;We&#8217;re encouraged by the fact that eCommerce growth across all three segments continues to be strong, all three segments growing more than 20%,&#8221; added McMillon.
Meanwhile, while addressing the tariff issue, he thanked President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for the progress made recently. He hoped for a longer-term agreement with China amid the ongoing 90-day pause.
