Frontier Group Holdings Inc

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets faced heightened volatility this week as the Trump administration intensified trade restrictions, notably imposing new export controls on Nvidia's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20 AI chip to China. Nvidia projected a $5.5 billion revenue impact, leading to an 8.5% drop in its stock and a broader 3% decline in the semiconductor sector.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that the tariffs could exacerbate inflation, prompting criticism from President Donald Trump. Amid these tensions, gold prices surged to a record $3,330 per ounce, reflecting increased investor anxiety.
In corporate earnings, UnitedHealth Group's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) unexpected downward revision of its full-year guidance led to a 22.4% plunge in its stock — the steepest single-day drop since 1998. Conversely, Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) reported strong performance, providing some optimism amid the market turbulence.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Netflix, UnitedHealth, Eli Lilly — And Market Volatility Continues

The U.S. and Iran&nbsp;are reportedly poised to engage in a significant round of nuclear negotiations in Rome this Saturday.
What Happened: The discussions aim to resolve the enduring conflict over Tehran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions, with President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;warning of potential military action should diplomatic efforts falter.
Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi&nbsp;and&nbsp;Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff&nbsp;will be involved in the talks indirectly through Omani mediators, according to a Reuters report.
This follows a productive initial round held in Muscat the previous week.
Araqchi confirmed his attendance in Rome via a Telegram post, highlighting Iran&#8217;s belief in a possible agreement if the U.S. takes a realistic stance.
While some Iranian officials have speculated about a rapid lifting of sanctions, Tehran has warned against expecting a swift resolution.
Supreme Leader&nbsp;Ayatollah Ali Khamenei&nbsp;has maintained a neutral position, stating he is &#8220;neither overly optimistic nor pessimistic.&#8221;

On Friday, Trump reiterated his commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The U.S. demands Iran cease highly enriched uranium production, while Tehran seeks sanctions relief and assurances against future policy reversals. Both nations remain committed to diplomacy, despite significant differences.
Why It Matters: The upcoming talks in Rome follow a series of developments in U.S.-Iran relations.
Earlier this month, Iran expressed its willingness to engage in high-level discussions with the U.S., <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44758747/iran-signals-openness-to-nuclear-talks-with-us-warns-against-trumps-aggressive-theatrics">warning</a> against what it termed Trump&#8217;s "aggressive theatrics."
This openness came after Trump&#8217;s unexpected announcement of talks in Oman, a nation with a history of mediating between the West and Iran.
Additionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s potential visit to the White House to discuss key geopolitical issues, including Iran, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44657010/netanyahu-may-meet-trump-at-white-house-on-monday-with-tariffs-iran-and-gaza-on-the-table">underscores</a> the broader regional implications of these negotiations.
The stakes are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44855903/scott-bessent-warns-of-serious-risk-to-anyone-buying-iran-oil-crude-moves-up-us-futures-and-nikkei-post-modest-gains">further heightened</a> by warnings from financial experts like Scott Bessent, who highlighted the risks associated with buying Iranian oil amid rising crude prices.

US, Iran Set For Crucial Nuclear Talks In Rome Amid Tensions

A&nbsp;Boeing Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft, originally intended for delivery to China, was redirected back&nbsp;to the U.S. on&nbsp;Friday. This incident underscores the intensifying tariff dispute between Beijing and Washington.
What Happened: The jet, one of several awaiting final preparations at Boeing&#8217;s Zhoushan facility, was flown back to the U.S. without delivery. This move follows the imposition of tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 2, which has disrupted the longstanding duty-free status of the aerospace industry.
According to Reuters, the aircraft, initially slated for Xiamen Airlines, was seen returning to Seattle via Guam.
The decision comes amid reports of a potential Chinese ban on Boeing imports, although no official statement has been made by Beijing.

Industry insiders have indicated that Boeing and its suppliers are preparing for a&nbsp;halt in deliveries to China, according to the report.
Despite discussions about storing undelivered jets in bonded facilities to avoid tariffs, the aircraft was repatriated.
The Air Current first reported the withdrawal of&nbsp;some undelivered jets from Zhoushan,&nbsp;noting that a Chinese airline had also backed out of leasing a Boeing plane.
Why It Matters: The decision to redirect the Boeing jet back to the U.S. is a direct consequence of the escalating trade tensions between the two economic giants.
The Trump administration recently announced tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">of up to 245%</a> on Chinese imports, a move that has intensified the trade battle between the nations. This has led to retaliatory measures from China, including a potential ban on Boeing aircraft, which could significantly impact the aerospace industry.
China&#8217;s decision to halt Boeing purchases could also have repercussions for its own aircraft manufacturer,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44883727/chinas-boeing-ban-could-backfire-on-its-own-aircraft-manufacturer-comac">Comac</a>, which relies heavily on U.S. technology. The move could hinder Comac&#8217;s efforts to become globally competitive, as highlighted in a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Analysts, including those <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44837703/chinas-ban-on-boeing-could-be-short-lived-but-trump-administration-cant-ignore-trade-fallout-warns-analyst">from</a>&nbsp;Bank of America, have warned that while the ban on Boeing could be temporary, the Trump administration cannot overlook the broader trade implications.

Boeing Jet Returns To US Amid Escalating Tariff Tensions With China

The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily paused the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44680699/alien-enemies-act-survives-court-challenge-trump-gains-green-light-for-swift-deportations">deportation of immigrants</a> under the Alien Enemies Act, drawing criticism from conservative justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
What Happened: Early on Saturday morning, the Supreme Court issued a brief order halting deportations under the 18th-century law, which the Donald Trump administration had invoked to remove a group of Venezuelan immigrants in Texas, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/18/politics/boasberg-deportation-flights-alien-enemies-act/index.html">reported</a> CNN.
The immigrants, fearing imminent deportation, filed an emergency appeal, claiming they had not been given proper notice or a chance to challenge their removal.

The court did not explain its decision but directed the Trump administration to respond after a federal appeals court in Louisiana reviews the case. The court's order stated that no members of the &#8220;putative class of detainees&#8221; could be removed until further instructions from the court.
Justice Alito and Justice Thomas dissented from the order. Alito questioned the need for the court's involvement, while Thomas expressed concern over the potential implications of halting the removals.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The case stems from a challenge to the Trump administration&#8217;s use <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44428767/trump-administration-failed-to-respond-to-court-order-on-deportation-flights-explain-non-compliance-by-tuesday-says-judge">of the Alien Enemies Act</a>, which allows the government to bypass normal immigration procedures and remove individuals from the country.
In a prior ruling, the Supreme Court had allowed the administration to proceed with deportations under the Act but required the government to provide notice and allow detainees to challenge their removal in court.

Supreme Court Temporarily Halts Immigrant Deportations Under Alien Enemies Act By Trump White House: Conservative Judges Voice Dissent

Italy has joined the U.S. in opposing taxes on digital services, signaling a shift in its stance on a tax levied against major tech companies, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, and Facebook-parent Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
What Happened: On Friday, Italy and the U.S. issued a joint statement condemning &#8220;discriminatory&#8221; digital taxes, reported Reuters.
In a statement following Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's meeting with President Joe Biden, the two nations agreed that a non-discriminatory environment for digital service taxation was essential for fostering investment from innovative tech companies.
"We agreed that a non-discriminatory environment in terms of digital services taxation is necessary to enable investments from cutting-edge tech companies," said the statement released after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited the White House on Thursday.

European taxes targeting major U.S. tech firms like Alphabet&#8217;s Google, Meta&#8217;s Facebook, Apple, and Amazon have long been a point of contention for U.S. administrations, including during Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency.
Italy currently imposes a 3% tax on revenue from online transactions for digital companies with global sales of at least 750 million euros ($853.35 million), though the measure generates less than 500 million euros annually for the Italian government.
Although the tax brings in a relatively modest amount of revenue in a country with total budget spending exceeding 800 billion euros, Italy's digital levy remains a politically sensitive issue for Meloni.
While the joint statement did not specify whether Italy would completely scrap its 3% tax on digital revenue, it marked a significant shift in Italy's approach. It also said that Trump will be visiting Italy in the future, the report noted.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The joint statement between Italy and the U.S. comes amid a backdrop of ongoing trade tensions between the EU and the U.S.
The EU has been considering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44784857/eu-threatens-additional-taxes-on-us-tech-giants-amid-ongoing-tariff-war-we-are-developing-retaliatory-measures-says-von-der-leyen">additional taxes on U.S. tech giants</a> if tariff negotiations with the Trump administration do not resolve. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has indicated that the EU is prepared to expand the trade war to include services, potentially taxing digital advertising revenues.
Kevin O&#8217;Leary, known for his role on "Shark Tank," previously argued that the EU's "zero-for-zero" tariff proposal on industrial goods presented a major chance for President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44706557/kevin-oleary-calls-eu-tariff-proposal-a-huge-opportunity-for-trump-to-find-an-off-ramp-amid-global-market-volatility">Trump to ease trade tensions</a>.

Italy Joins US To Oppose 'Discriminatory' Digital Taxes On Big Tech Giants Like Apple, Amazon, Google, And Meta

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have given an ultimatum for the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44455074/oil-rises-as-us-and-russia-begin-talks-in-saudi-arabia-for-ukraine-ceasefire-black-sea-deal">Russia-Ukraine peace talks</a>, stating that the U.S. will abandon efforts unless significant progress is made in the coming days.
What Happened: On Friday, Trump and Rubio expressed frustration over the lack of movement in the peace process between Russia and Ukraine, with Rubio stating that the U.S. would not continue its efforts for an extended period, reported Reuters.&nbsp;
&#8220;We&#8217;re not going to continue with this endeavor for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly now, and I&#8217;m talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks,&#8221; Rubio said during a meeting in Paris with European and Ukrainian leaders.
&#8220;Quickly, we want to get it done,&#8221; Trump told reporters at the White House. &#8220;Now if for some reason one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we&#8217;re just going to say, &#8216;you&#8217;re foolish, you&#8217;re fools, you&#8217;re horrible people, and we&#8217;re going to just take a pass. But hopefully we won&#8217;t have to do that.&#8221;

While Trump did not provide a specific deadline for the peace talks, his comments signal growing impatience within the administration.
Why It&#8217;s Important: The U.S. has been pushing for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, with Trump previously stating during his campaign that he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office.
However, Trump administration officials have privately conceded that the likelihood of swiftly securing a peace agreement in Ukraine is fading. According to three European diplomats, Rubio's latest remarks reflect mounting frustration within the White House over Russia's refusal to compromise, the report noted.
Earlier, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov acknowledged that some progress had been made toward a peace deal, though he described communications with Washington as challenging.
American officials also expressed irritation over Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43769730/ukraine-raises-alarm-over-us-russia-talks-on-war-without-kyivs-involvement">accusation that Trump's special envoy</a>, Steve Witkoff, was "spreading Russian narratives," the report said, citing a U.S. official.
Thursday's discussions in Paris marked the first significant in-person talks involving European leaders as part of Trump's peace initiative. A U.S. official added that negotiations would continue in London next week, allowing Ukraine time to consider a proposed "term sheet" from Washington.&nbsp;

Trump Administration Sets Ultimatum For Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks: 'Not Going To Continue With This Endeavour For Weeks And Months,' Says Secretary Of State Rubio

Hertz Global Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) CEO&nbsp;Gil West&nbsp;expressed optimism following&nbsp;Bill Ackman&#8216;s significant investment in the company.
What Happened:&nbsp;Ackman&#8217;s firm,&nbsp;Pershing Square Capital Management, revealed a substantial stake in Hertz, boosting the company&#8217;s stock price.
Ackman&#8217;s investment firm increased its position in Hertz to 19.8%, making it the second-largest shareholder. This move follows a regulatory filing that initially showed a 4.1% stake by the end of 2024.
"Let me start by saying I am humbled, and we should all feel encouraged by Bill Ackman's comments and energized by the strong support shown by him, Pershing Square Capital Management, and others who share confidence in our strategy," <a href="https://newsroom.hertz.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hertz-exits-chapter-11-much-stronger-company">said</a> West.
Ackman&nbsp;received an exemption from the&nbsp;SEC to delay filing, allowing for additional share accumulation.
West, who took the helm at Hertz in April 2024, shared his thoughts&nbsp;in an internal message to&nbsp;employees.
He emphasized the importance of Ackman&#8217;s endorsement, describing it as a testament to the company&#8217;s progress and the relentless efforts of its workforce.

Hertz, which emerged from bankruptcy in 2021, has faced challenges, including a $2.9 billion loss in 2024. The company is now focused on its turnaround plan, including a shift from its previous electric vehicle strategy.
Why It Matters: The investment by&nbsp;Bill Ackman&nbsp;comes at a crucial time for Hertz, as the company seeks to regain its footing after significant financial setbacks.
On April 16, Hertz shares surged by 25% in pre-market trading after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44840772/hertz-stock-zooms-25-pre-market-bill-ackmans-pershing-square-makes-46-5m-bet">Ackman disclosed a $46.5 million investment</a>, signaling strong market confidence in the company&#8217;s potential recovery.
Moreover, Ackman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44878275/billionare-investor-bill-ackman-posts-hertz-investment-thesis-proposes-av-fleet-partnership-with-uber">shared</a> his investment thesis, proposing a potential partnership with Uber for an autonomous vehicle fleet. This strategic vision aligns with Hertz&#8217;s efforts to innovate and adapt in a rapidly changing market.
As Hertz continues its turnaround strategy, Ackman&#8217;s endorsement and strategic insights could play a pivotal role in shaping the company&#8217;s future trajectory, providing both financial support and visionary guidance.

Hertz CEO Encouraged By Bill Ackman's Major Investment: 'We Should All Feel Encouraged'

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has reportedly stopped exporting certain high-end vehicles to China due to increased tariffs.
What Happened:&nbsp;The automaker has halted shipments&nbsp;of F-150 Raptors, Mustang muscle&nbsp;cars, and Bronco SUVs from&nbsp;Michigan, as well as Lincoln&nbsp;Navigators from Kentucky, according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/china-ford-halts-shipment-3cb51285">to</a> a report by the Wall Street Journal.
This follows China&#8217;s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, which have soared to as high as 150%.
A Ford spokesperson commented, &#8220;We&nbsp;have adjusted exports from the&nbsp;U.S. to China in light&nbsp;of the current tariffs,&#8221; but did not specify which models or provide a timeline.
Although Ford&#8217;s export business to China is relatively small, it remains profitable, with the company exporting its iconic models to China for nearly a decade.
Last year, Ford exported about 5,500 vehicles to China, a significant decrease from the annual average of over 20,000.
Despite halting vehicle exports, Ford continues to ship&nbsp;U.S.-built engines and transmissions to&nbsp;China.

Ford&#8217;s sales in China have been declining, affected by the rise of local Chinese car brands. The company sold approximately 400,000 vehicles in China last year, a sharp drop from 1.3 million in 2016.
Why It Matters: The halt in Ford&#8217;s vehicle shipments to China is a direct consequence of the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China.
Recently,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44886711/trump-expresses-reluctance-to-escalate-china-tariffs-hints-at-trade-deal">President Donald Trump</a>&nbsp;expressed reluctance to further escalate tariffs, indicating concerns over potential trade stagnation. He also hinted at China&#8217;s attempts to negotiate a deal, suggesting a possible resolution in the future.
In response to the U.S. tariffs, China has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44856008/china-dismisses-trumps-tariff-numbers-game-files-wto-complaint-talks-can-only-proceed-based-on-mutual-respect">dismissed</a> what it calls a &#8220;tariff numbers game&#8221; and filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization. The Chinese government has stated that talks can only proceed based on mutual respect.
Furthermore, some Chinese firms are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44883166/chinese-firms-are-reportedly-using-shell-entities-to-dodge-trumps-tariffs">reportedly</a> using shell entities to circumvent the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, potentially affecting U.S. revenue collection.

Ford Reportedly Halts Vehicle Shipments To China Amid Rising Tariffs

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>.

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;

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?
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<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;

&#8220;Money Market or cash/dividends ETF. Inflation is still up which means returns on cash accounts with interest given are currently a relatively safe place to park money,&#8221; one user wrote.

<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.

스피릿항공의 모회사 스피릿 에비에이션 홀딩스(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVEQ#OTC">SAVEQ</a>)는 스피릿항공의 재무 구조조정을 성공적으로 완료했다고 발표했다.
무슨 일 있었나: 보도자료를 통해, 미국 뉴욕 남부 지방 파산법원은 회사의 충성 고객과 전환사채 보유자의 과반수가 막대한 지원을 제공하면서 스피릿의 구조조정 계획을 확정했다고 밝혔다.
구조조정 과정을 통해 7억 9,500만 달러에 달하는 부채를 줄일 수 있었으며, 이를 통해 스피릿항공은 탄탄한 재무 상태를 유지할 수 있었다. 또한 향후 이니셔티브를 지원하고 고객 경험을 향상시키기 위해 기존 투자자로부터 3억 5,000만 달러의 지분 투자를 확보했다.
이에 따라 이전에 스피릿항공이 발행했던 보통주는 취소되었다. 회사는 조직 개편 계획의 발효일 이후 "합리적으로 가능한 한 빨리 증권 거래소에 주식을 재상장할 것으로 기대한다"고 밝혔다.
테드 크리스티 사장 겸 CEO는 "오늘 우리는 새로운 고부가가치 여행 옵션으로 저가 여행을 재정의하려는 전략을 추진하고 있다"고 말했다.
왜 중요한가: 이러한 발전 상황은 2025년 2월 초 스피릿항공이 프론티어 그룹 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>)의 <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43654635/spirit-airlines-rejects-frontiers-new-merger-offer-aims-to-finalize-restructuring-by-q1-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">합병 제안을 거부한 이후 나왔다.</a> 프론티어는 수정된 구조조정 계획을 제안하면서 스피릿항공의 주주들에게 4억 달러의 후순위 부채와 프론티어의 보통주 19%를 제시했다. 이 경우 3억 5,000만 달러의 신주인수권부사채를 발행할 필요는 없었지만 3,500만 달러의 해지 수수료는 면제되어야 했다.
이러한 제안을 거절한 것은 현재 성공적으로 실행하고 있는 자체 구조조정 계획에 대한 스피릿항공의 자신감을 보여 주었다. 부채를 감축하고 지분 투자를 확보하기로 한 결정은 재무 안정성과 승객 서비스 향상에 대한 스피릿항공의 의지를 나타낸다. 또한 성공적인 구조조정은 스피릿항공의 증권거래소 재상장을 위한 기반을 마련하여 항공사에 중요한 전환점을 마련했다.
주가 움직임: <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">벤징가 프로</a>에 따르면 목요일 스피릿 항공의 장외 주식은 2.6% 상승한 0.47달러로 마감했다.

스피릿항공 "재무 구조조정 성공적...가능한 빨리 주식 재상장 할 것"

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">신규 블록</h2>
세이지 테라퓨틱스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAGE#NASDAQ">SAGE</a>)는 주주들을 만족시키기 위한 &#8220;전략적 대안&#8221;을 공식적으로 탐색하고 있다. 이 과정에는 가능한 사업 결합부터 전면적인 매각까지 모든 것이 포함된다.
누가 관심이 있나요? 바로 바이오젠(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/biib" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for BIIB" data-google-interstitial="false">BIIB</a>)이다. 바이오젠은 세이지가 거부한 자발적 제안을 제출했다. 매사추세주 케임브리지에 본사를 둔 세이지는 PPD 여성 치료제인 주르주베(ZURZUVAE)로 유명하다. 골드만삭스가 재무 자문을 제공하고, 스캐든 압스(Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP)가 법적 문제를 감독한다.
실버스 테크놀로지스는 로스앤젤레스에 본사를 둔 모바일 통신 회사로, TJC가 소유하고 있다. 실버스는 매각 또는 초기 공모(IPO)를 탐색하기 위해 모건 스탠리를 고용했다. TJC는 실버스에 대해 최대 50억 달러의 가치를 추구할 수 있다고 블룸버그가 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/tjc-is-said-to-weigh-sale-ipo-of-radio-tech-provider-silvus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다. TJC는 조던 컴퍼니(The Jordan Company)로 알려져 있으며, 2019년 12월에 실버스를 인수했다.

CEO 로버트 알렉산더는 이를 &#8220;일반적인 것들&#8221;이라고 설명했다.
이 움직임은 알라코스의 현금 보유고를 크게 줄일 것이며, 지난해 말 기준으로 8,100만 달러였던 현금 보유고는 구조조정 비용으로 3,400만 달러에서 3,800만 달러를 소모한 후 중반까지 3,500만 달러에서 4,000만 달러로 줄어들 것으로 예상된다. 새로운 전략적 방향을 신속하게 찾는 압박이 가해지고 있다.

다윈 파이낸셜 컴퍼니(Darwin Financial Company)의 공동 설립자 조슈아 로빈슨(Joshua Robinson)은 INYOAG LLC와의 5,500만 달러 자금 조달 거래를 발표했다. 이 자금은 캘리포니아 이노 카운티에 있는 태양열 발전 광산 개발에 사용될 예정이며, 해당 지역에는 은, 납, 아연, 텅스텐 및 구리 매장량이 확인되어 있다. 로빈슨과의 대화 내용은 다음과 같다:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: 다윈 금융과 기초 금속 광산업체 INYOAG 간의 거래 구조는 어떻게 되나요? </h4>
로빈슨: 이번 거래 구조는 5,500만 달러 프로젝트 자금 조달 패키지로, 세 가지 구성 요소로 나누어진다: 황화물 및 산화물 생산에 각각 1,750만 달러 및 1,250만 달러의 6년 만기 채권, 그리고 광산이 월 1,000만 달러의 매출을 달성할 경우에만 발동되는 2,000만 달러의 조건부 주식 투자이다. 우리는 두 생산 트랙에서 총 매출의 17%를 확보하며, 이는 안전한 록박스 방식으로 구조화된다. 이것은 단순한 주식 투자가 아니며, 우리는 추가적인 상승 가능성을 제공하기 위해 특별히 이렇게 설계했다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">추가 투자자/합작 투자 파트너를 찾고 있나요? </h4>
네, 우리는 이것을 여러 층의 상승 가능성을 창출하기 위해 고의적으로 구조화했다. 이는 광산 분야에서 꽤 독특한 접근 방식이다. 우리는 생산에서의 단기 현금 흐름과 상당한 확장 가능성을 제공하는 하이브리드 모델을 만들었다. 우리는 이미 기존 광산 업체들로부터 관심을 받고 있지만, 특히 중요한 광물의 전략적 가치를 이해하는 새로운 투자자들을 이 분야에 끌어들이는 것에 대해 기대하고 있다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">중요 광물의 외국 공급원에 의존하는 것의 단점은 무엇인가요? </h4>
중국의 최근 움직임은 여기서 긴급성을 강조한다. 중국은 이미 게르마늄과 갈륨에 대한 수출 통제를 시행했고, 최근 안티모니도 목록에 추가했다. 이는 더 이상 이론적인 문제가 아니라, 실제로 발생하고 있다. 우리는 방산 및 기술에 필수적인 이러한 광물에 대해 공급망의 지역적 회복력을 구축해야 한다. 다윈 광산은 단일 자산에서 여러 중요한 광물의 국내 공급원을 구축할 수 있는 독특한 기회를 제공한다. 이는 찾기 어려운 일이다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">광산은 태양열로 운영되나요? </h4>
100MW 시설은 광산만을 전력 공급하는 것이 아니라, 우리가 생산하는 광물로 발전소 규모의 에너지 저장 시스템을 개발할 수 있는 충분한 청정 에너지를 생성할 것이다. 이는 우리의 광산 운영이 청정 에너지 배치를 직접 지원하는 선순환을 만든다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2025년 목표는 무엇인가요? </h4>
2025년의 주요 목표는 자금 지원 후 6개월 이내에 황화물 생산을 하루 300톤으로, 9개월 이내에 산화물 생산을 하루 200톤으로 끌어올리는 것이다. 이는 월 1,000만 달러의 매출을 달성하게 되며, 그 후 심화된 광산 개발 프로그램이 발동다.

월스트리트는 공화당이 의회를 장악하고 규제를 완화함에 따라 M&amp;A가 급증할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 분석가들은 리나 칸(Lina Khan) 연방거래위원회(FTC) 위원장의 해임으로 인해 독점 금지 조사가 쉬워질 것으로 예상하고 있다. 뱅크 오브 아메리카는 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선자와 같은 공화당 행정부가 역사적으로 민주당 행정부에 비해 금융 부문 M&amp;A 활동을 50% 이상 육성했다는 점을 강조한다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카는 또한 금리 인하가 발효되고 경제 상황이 안정화됨에 따라 2025년은 M&amp;A에 있어 더 좋은 해가 될 수 있다고 예측한다. 다음은 은행이 수집한 5가지 잠재적 목표 목록이다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">전체 목록</a>을 보려면 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">여기를 클릭</a>하세요.

스피릿 항공(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/save" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for SAVE">SAVE</a>)의 주가는 회사가 2024년 9월 종료된 분기 실적을 보고하지 못한 후 화요일 시간외 거래에서 62.73% 급락했다. 당일 정규 거래에서는 5.29% 하락한 3.22달러에 마감했다. 저가 항공사인 스피릿 항공은 화요일 늦게 제출한 서류에서 채권자들과의 구조조정 계획을 논의 중이라고 밝혔으며, 이 계획은 주식이 취소될 수 있는 가능성을 포함하고 있다.
스피릿 항공(Spirit Airlines)이 파산에 가까워지고 채권자들이 주식 &#8216;취소&#8217;를 승인할 수 있음: 주가가 쿵쿵 떨어지면서 투자자들에게 의미하는 바는 다음과 같습니다.

무슨 일이 (What Happened): 저비용 항공사인 스피릿 항공은 채권자들과 파산 또는 법정 외 구조조정 가능성을 논의 중이며, 이는 몇 달째 진행 중이다. 이는 스피릿 항공이 프론티어 그룹 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ulcc" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for ULCC">ULCC</a>)와의 합병 시도와 제트블루 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/jblu" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for JBLU">JBLU</a>)에 의한 인수 시도가 실패한 후 발생한 일이다.

왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 저가 항공사의 구조조정 시도가 실패함에 따라 주식 보유자들은 주식 소각으로 인해 피해를 볼 수 있다. 그러나 이 회사의 성명에 따르면, 협상 중인 계획은 일반 무담보 채권자, 직원, 고객, 공급업체, 항공기 임대인 및 항공기 담보 채권자에게는 영향을 미치지 않을 것이라고 한다.
채권자에는 2025년 만기의 8% 쿠폰 로열티 채권 약 10억 달러 규모와 2026년 만기의 5억 달러 규모의 무담보 전환 채권이 포함되어 있다. 전자는 이 회사의 상용 고객 프로그램(마일리지)의 일부에 대한 청구권으로 담보되어 있다.
주가 움직임: 스피릿 항공의 주가는 연초 대비 80.31% 하락하여 NYSE 종합지수보다 저조한 성과를 보인 반면, 같은 기간 이 지수는 17.88%의 수익률을 기록했다. 40.79의 상대 강도 지수(RSI)는 해당 주식이 과매수도 과매도도 아님을 보여준다.
나스닥에 따라 주식을 추적하는 12명의 분석가 모두의 합의 추정치는 평균 목표 가격이 각각 2.13달러인 &#8220;매도&#8221;이다.

스피릿 항공: 파산 위기, 주주들 주식 소각 직면, 주가는 시간외 거래에서 62% 급락

유가 하락으로 인해 월요일 몇몇 항공사 주식이 상승세를 보였습니다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41575181/crude-oil-faces-steepest-one-day-drop-in-over-two-years-energy-stocks-plunge-prices" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">가장 큰 움직임</a>을 보이는 몇 가지를 살펴보겠다.

상세 내용: 월요일에 원유 가격이 2022년 이후 가장 큰 하루 하락폭을 기록했다. 서부 텍사스 중질유(WTI) 선물 가격이 6% 하락하여 배럴당 약 67달러에 거래되었다. 이 하락은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567809/oil-etfs-plunge-premarket-after-israels-strikes-on-iran">이스라엘의 이란 공습</a>이 군사 목표에만 집중하고 석유 인프라를 피한 후 즉각적인 공급 중단에 대한 우려를 줄였기 때문이다.
원유 시장은 이달 초 중동 긴장 사태에 처음 반응하여 이란 석유 시설에 대한 공습이 공급을 차단할 수 있다는 우려가 있었다. 그러나 최근 공습의 제한된 범위는 분석가들로 하여금 유가가 계속 압박을 받을 것으로 예상하게 했다.
분석가들은 OPEC+가 공급을 늘릴 계획을 진행하고 중국을 중심으로 수요가 계속 감소하면 가격이 2025년까지 하락할 수 있다고 언급했다.
중국의 석유 수요는 5월 이후로 둔화되었으며, 에너지 부문의 구조적 변화와 새로운 전기차 등록 비율의 증가가 석유 소비 감소에 기여했다.
유가가 하락하면 항공사에게 긍정적이다. 유가가 항공사들의 가장 큰 비용 중 하나이기 때문이다. <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면, 위에 언급된 모든 주식은 월요일에 각각 1%에서 4% 사이로 상승했다.

프론티어 그룹 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41416572/spirit-airlines-extends-debt-deadlines-jetblue-founder-suggests-frontier-group-a-more-suitable-m" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">파산 신청 가능성에 대해 채권 보유자들</a>과 지속적인 논의를 벌이고 있는 스피릿 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>)의 재인수 가능성을 고려하고 있는 것으로 알려졌다. 이에 주가는 애프터 마켓에서 16% 이상 급등했다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 이들 두 저비용 항공사들은 최근에 합병에 대한 초기 논의를 진행했다. 그러나 이 논의는 아직 초기 단계에 있으며 거래로 이어지지 않을 수도 있다고 월스트리트 저널이 이 문제에 정통한 사람들을 인용하여 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/airlines/frontier-spirit-airlines-revive-merger-talks-a7ee5912" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
만약 합병이 합의된다면, 이는 스피릿의 부채 및 책임 재조정 과정의 일환으로 파산 절차 중에 발생할 가능성이 높다. 스피릿은 현재 채권자들과 잠재적 파산 조건에 대해 협상 중이며, 동시에 대외적 옵션을 탐색하여 재무 상태를 재구성하고 있다.
스피릿은 특히 제트블루 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>)과의 합병 실패와 수년간의 손실로 인해 상당한 재정적 압박을 받고 있다.
프론티어 그룹 홀딩스와 스피릿 항공은 <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>의 논평 요청에 즉시 응답하지 않았다.
또한 참고하세요: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41421309/tesla-investor-ross-gerber-calls-it-game-over-as-googles-waymo-expands-robotaxi-presence-in-west?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">테슬라 투자자 로스 거버는 구글의 웨이모가 웨스트 LA에 로보택시 서비스를 확장하면서 &#8216;게임 오버&#8217;라고 말했다.</a>
왜 중요한가요 (Why It Matters): 이 잠재적 합병 소식은 스피릿의 최근 주가 상승 이후에 발생했다. 이 항공사의 주식은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41457620/why-spirit-airlines-save-stock-is-moving">화요일에 6.22% 하락</a>했으며, 이는 월요일 랠리 이후 이익 실현 때문일 가능성이 높다. 이 랠리는 이 회사의 부채 재융자 기한 연장 발표 후 발생한 것이다.
10월 초, 스피릿은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41416572/spirit-airlines-extends-debt-deadlines-jetblue-founder-suggests-frontier-group-a-more-suitable-m">카드 처리 계약을 수정</a>하여 2025년 채권의 기한과 조기 만기일을 연장했다. 이는 비자와 마스터카드 결제에 대한 미국 은행 협회와의 지속적인 협상 후 발생한 일이다.
주가 움직임: 스피릿 항공의 주식은 화요일에 $2.11로 마감되어 당일 6.22% 하락했다. 애프터 마켓 거래에서 주식은 16.59% 상승했다. 연초 대비 스피릿 항공의 주가는 87.09% 급락했다.
한편, 프론티어 그룹의 주식은 화요일에 $6.72로 마감되어 2.75% 하락했다. 애프터 마켓에서 주식은 0.45% 하락했다. 연초 대비 프론티어 그룹은 26.55% 증가한 것으로 나타났다.

프론티어의 합병 관심 재개로 스피릿 항공의 주가 시간외 거래에서 16% 이상 상승: 보도

마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)의 윈도우 PC 및 애저(Azure) 클라우드 서비스와 크라우드스트라이크 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) 사이버 보안 서비스의 대규모 중단은 미국 및 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39854612/windows-pcs-crash-worldwide-with-users-experiencing-blue-screen-of-death-issue-crowdstrike-updat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">전 세계</a>의 주, 국가 및 서비스에 영향을 미치고 있다.
유저들이 가끔 &#8220;블루 스크린 오브 데스(blue screen of death)&#8221;라고 부르는 이 문제로 인해 영향받는 주, 국가 및 부문들을 살펴보겠다.
영향 받는 서비스: 서비스 중단으로 영향을 받는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39857391/palo-alto-sentinel-cyberark-and-fortinet-rally-in-pre-market-whats-driving-gains-in-cybersecurit">주요 서비스 중 하나는 항공사</a>들이다. 아메리칸 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>), 델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) 그리고 유나이티드 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)을 포함한 주목할만한 항공사들은 통신 문제로 인해 운항 중단을 발표했다.
프론티어 그룹 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>)도 &#8216;마이크로소프트 중단&#8217;의 영향을 받았다고 <a href="https://x.com/FlyFrontier">밝혔다</a>.
이 항공사는 트위터를 통해 "예약, 체크인, 탑승권 이용 및 일부 항공편이 영향을 받을 수 있다"고 밝혔다.
시스템이 정상화됨에 따라 이 항공사의 비행 운항이 금요일에 재개되기 시작했다.
AP 통신은 금요일 이른 아침 뉴욕시 지역에서 300편 이상의 항공편이 지연되었으며 100편 이상의 항공편이 취소되었다고 <a href="https://apnews.com/live/internet-global-outage-crowdstrike-microsoft-downtime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
금요일에 연방항공청(FAA)은 X에 <a href="https://x.com/FAANews/status/1814236439359393845" target="_blank" rel="noopener">업데이트</a>를 발표했다.
FAA는 트위터를 통해 &#8220;FAA는 미국 항공사들의 IT 시스템에 영향을 미치는 기술적 문제를 면밀히 모니터링하고 있다. 여러 항공사들이 문제가 해결될 때까지 지상 정지에 대한 FAA 지원을 요청했다&#8221;고 밝혔다.
금요일에는 &#8216;마이크로소프트 중단&#8217;이 <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=Microsoft%20outage&amp;date=now%201-d&amp;geo=US&amp;hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">구글</a>의 인기 검색 주제였다. 획기적인 검색 트렌드 중에는 &#8220;마이크로소프트 중단 항공사&#8221; 및 &#8220;마이크로소프트 중단 항공편&#8221;이 있었으며 이는 항공 부문과 관련된 검색 수가 많았음을 나타낸다.
마이크로소프트 및 크라우드스트라이크의 중단으로 영향을 받은 기타 서비스에는 911 응급 서비스, 미디어 서비스, 은행 및 병원이 포함되었다.
또한 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39858714/crowdstrike-shares-trim-heavy-losses-as-microsoft-announces-resolution-of-global-te" target="_blank" rel="noopener">크라우드스트라이크의 주가는 MS가 글로벌 기술 장애에 대한 해결을 발표함에 따라 막대한 손실을 줄였다</a>
주요 국가의 영향: 알래스카, 버지니아, 뉴햄프셔, 오하이오, 아이오와를 포함한 여러 주에서는 911 응급 서비스에 대한 영향을 발표했다.
알래스카 주 경찰국(Alaska State Troopers)은 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AlaskaStateTroopersOfficial/posts/pfbid022K5MYDVWd8fKxJqbYVCm9sKz1UTCd2SB4T9z5s7tRA3ZP5cPupbg4TU6Ev4bxi5Ul?locale=en_GB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">페이스북</a>에서 &#8220;전국적인 기술 관련 장애로 인해 알래스카 주 전역에서 많은 911 및 비응급 콜센터가 제대로 작동하지 않고 있다&#8221;고 밝혔다.
911 긴급 서비스에 영향을 받은 많은 주에서는 주민들에게 비응급 콜센터에 전화하도록 요청하고 있다.
미시간 주의 경우에는 주와 함께 카나다와의 국경 지역, 앰버서더 브리지(Ambassador Bridge) 및 디트로이트-윈저 터널에서도 이 문제로 인해 장기간 동안 지연이 발생했다.
미시간주 기술관리예산부(DTMB)는 금요일 오전 X에 <a href="https://x.com/MichiganDTMB/status/1814283611320750257" target="_blank" rel="noopener">경고</a>를 발령했다.
&#8220;알려진 글로벌 IT 중단으로 인해 현재 주로 주정부 콜센터를 통해 일부 정부 서비스에 액세스하는 고객의 능력에 영향을 미치고 있다. DTMB는 우려를 인식하고 시스템을 다시 온라인으로 전환하기 위해 적절한 조치를 취하고 있다&#8221;고 트윗에 밝혔다.
보스턴 글로브(Boston Globe)의 <a href="https://x.com/BostonGlobe/status/1814280472555368706" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>에 따르면 매사추세츠 주 최대 병원 단체는 금요일 모든 병원 방문과 비응급 서비스를 취소한다고 발표했다.
로드아일랜드 주에서는 국세청에서 이 장애로 인해 문제가 발생했다는 <a href="https://x.com/RhodeIslandTax/status/1814278641347379211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">경고</a>를 발표했다.
구글 트렌드 페이지에서 볼 수 있듯이 구글에서 &#8220;마이크로소프트 장애&#8221;에 대한 검색이 급증했다.
이 검색에 가장 큰 관심을 보인 주는 버몬트, 매사추세츠, 오하이오, 펜실베니아 및 미시간이었다.
다른 곳에서의 서비스 장애: 캐나다는 금요일 항공편과 병원에 영향을 미치는 장애를 보고했다. 그 나라의 포터 항공(Porter Airlines)은 금요일 아침에 항공편을 취소했다. 캐나다의 대학 병원 네트워크(University Health Network) 병원도 환자 기록에 영향을 미쳤다.
남아프리카 공화국에서는 금요일 아침 일찍 두 개의 주요 은행이 은행 카드나 ATM 사용을 허용하지 않는 서비스 중단을 겪으면서 장애가 발생했다. 나중에 서비스가 복구되었다.
호주에서는 금요일 오전에 유사한 중단 사태가 발생했다고 보고했으며, 해당 호주의 미디어 부문, 은행 및 통신 회사가 영향을 받았다.
독일에서는 지역 식료품 체인인 테구트(Tegut)가 금전 등록기에 영향을 미친 컴퓨터 장애으로 인해 금요일 아침 340개 매장을 폐쇄했다. 나중에 상점들이 다시 문을 열었다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 이번 서비스 중단 사태는 지속적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 여러 산업과 주에 큰 피해를 입혔다. 관련 회사들은 환불로 인해 재정적 영향을 받을 수 있으며, 정전으로 인한 고객 불만과 신뢰 부족으로 인해 향후 비즈니스에 손실을 입을 수 있다.
MSFT, CRWD의 가격 움직임: 금요일 크라우드스트라이크 주식은 11.10% 하락한 304.96달러에 마감했다. 반면 마이크로소프트의 주식은 0.74% 하락한 437.11달러에 마쳤다.
