Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, on Friday warned that President Donald Trump&#8217;s new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday">tariffs could push the U.S. economy</a> into a recession but remained optimistic that innovation and smart policy could lead to a recovery.
What Happened: During an "Employment Friday" session, Wood analyzed the potential effects of Trump's newly imposed tariffs, which include a universal 10% base tariff on all imports and specific country tariffs, including 34% on China and 26% on India.
"Markets are in quite a bit of turmoil," Wood said, addressing the uncertainty created by these measures. She cautioned that these policies could push the U.S. into a recession, adding,&nbsp;

"We know how he calculated his version of reciprocity, but it doesn&#8217;t seem to make very much sense," she stated.
However, Wood also expressed hope that, with the right strategic policies, such as tax cuts and deregulation, the economy could eventually stabilize and grow. She also pointed to the lessons learned from the 2008 financial crisis, where market recovery began in late 2008 despite widespread financial turmoil.
She shared the video on X and said that the current situation could also be seen as a potential turning point. 
"Innovation gains traction during tough times," she said, referencing how businesses and consumers are often more willing to adapt and change when facing economic uncertainty.
She pointed to technological advances in AI, blockchain, and robotics as key factors that could help drive recovery.
"We are in the eye of the storm," Wood said. "But if President Trump cares about his legacy — which we know he does — or the midterm election campaign season, which will start this fall, then the last leg of this rolling recession is giving him and the Fed more degrees of freedom to pivot."

Cathie Wood Weighs In On Trump's 'Tariff Turmoil' And Potential Economic Impact: 'If President Trump Cares About His Legacy…'

Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX, Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, and Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>)&nbsp;United Launch Alliance&nbsp;(ULA) have been awarded contracts by the U.S. Space Force.
These contracts, valued at $13.5 billion, are intended for launching critical satellites into orbit by 2029.
What Happened: These contracts are part of the Space Force&#8217;s National Security Space Launch program, which will allocate approximately 54 missions through incremental task orders.
SpaceX will handle 28 missions, securing $5.9 billion, while ULA, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, will conduct 19 missions for $5.3 billion.
Blue Origin&nbsp;will manage seven missions, valued at $2.3 billion, with launches planned for later years.
The program recognizes these companies as leading U.S. rocket providers, despite&nbsp;Blue Origin&#8217;s&nbsp;limited launch experience compared to&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;and&nbsp;ULA.
SpaceX&nbsp;plans to utilize its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets&nbsp;for the Phase 3 missions.
ULA&#8217;s&nbsp;Vulcan rocket, recently certified for national security missions, will also be used.&nbsp;The awards are part of&nbsp;the Phase 3 program&#8217;s &#8220;Lane 2&#8221; track, which involves the Pentagon&#8217;s most challenging and costly missions.
SpaceX&nbsp;is expected to receive the majority of the missions in the program&#8217;s first year, reflecting its high launch rate.
Elon Musk quipped that despite ULA bagging 40% of the Phase 3 missions, they cannot deliver on them yet.
"I hope they succeed, but they aren't there yet."

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Winning 60% of the missions may sound generous, but the reality is that all SpaceX competitors combined cannot currently deliver the other 40%! I hope they succeed, but they aren't there yet.

Why It Matters: This latest award highlights&nbsp;SpaceX&#8217;s&nbsp;growing influence in securing federal contracts, a trend that has been building over recent years.
In March, it was reported that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44452231/elon-musks-spacex-on-track-to-secure-billions-in-federal-contracts-under-trump-report">SpaceX</a>&nbsp;was on track to secure billions in federal contracts under the Trump administration, with backing for its rocket technology for military cargo transportation.
Meanwhile, international competition is heating up, as Chinese startups, with support from President Xi Jinping, aim to challenge&nbsp;SpaceX&#8217;s dominance by 2030. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44451622/chinas-private-space-founder-says-they-can-beat-elon-musks-spacex-by-2030-as-president-xi-jinping-bets-big-on-reusable-rockets-to-break-free-from-us-tech-dependence">China&#8217;s private space sector</a>&nbsp;is making strides with reusable rockets.
Additionally,&nbsp;SpaceX&#8217;s recent success in safely returning NASA astronauts from the International Space Station further underscores its reliability and capability in space missions.
This was demonstrated in March when astronauts returned to Earth in a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/03/44391875/sunita-williams-butch-wilmore-return-to-earth-on-spacex-dragon-capsule-after-286-days-in-space-nasa-astronauts-to-undergo-health-checks">SpaceX Dragon capsule</a>&nbsp;after an extended mission.

SPACE

Elon Musk's SpaceX, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, And Boeing-Lockheed's ULA Bag $13.5 Billion Pentagon Launch Contracts

President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has enacted sweeping tariffs that could significantly increase the cost of consumer goods, including&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones. Analysts foresee a potential price surge&nbsp;of 30% to 40% if&nbsp;Apple passes these costs onto consumers.
What Happened: According to a report by Reuters, most iPhones are manufactured in China, which now faces a 54% tariff.
If these tariffs persist, Apple must choose between absorbing the increased costs or transferring them to customers. Apple shares dropped 9.3% on Thursday, marking&nbsp;their worst day since March&nbsp;2020.
Projections from Rosenblatt Securities suggest that Apple&#8217;s iPhone 16, initially priced at $799, could rise to $1,142. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, currently $1,599, might reach nearly $2,300 with a 43% price hike.
Despite some production shifting to Vietnam and India, these countries also face tariffs of 46% and 26%, respectively.

Analysts like Angelo Zino from CFRA Research propose that Apple might delay significant price increases until the iPhone 17 launch in the fall.
Why It Matters: The tariffs imposed by President Trump have far-reaching implications beyond just consumer electronics.
Former Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Larry Summers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44622754/tariffs-are-most-expensive-and-masochistic-could-cost-30-trillion-to-the-economy-erasing-300k-per-family-explains-former-treasury-secretary-larry-summers">described these tariffs</a> as the &#8220;most expensive and masochistic&#8221; decision by the U.S., potentially costing the economy $30 trillion, or about $300,000 per family.
Additionally, the automotive sector is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44119668/trump-tariffs-could-make-your-next-car-12000-more-expensive-expert-says-25-fees-will-have-a-sharp-negative-effect-on-auto-sales">expected to face</a> significant challenges. Experts predict that the tariffs could increase car prices by $12,000, negatively impacting auto sales.
The tariffs, which include a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico">25% duty on imports</a> from Mexico and most goods from Canada, excluding energy-related items, are part of a broader strategy that could have substantial repercussions for American businesses and consumers.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock has declined nearly 25% year-to-date, closing at $188.38 on Friday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

iPhone Prices Could Soar To Almost $2,300 Due To Trump Tariffs If Apple Decides To Pass On The Costs To Buyers

On Friday, a Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) employee disrupted the company's 50th-anniversary event, accusing the tech giant of complicity in war crimes. Microsoft&#8217;s former CEOs Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and current CEO Satya Nadella attended the event.

MSFT

Worker Disrupts Microsoft 50th Anniversay Event With Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, And Satya Nadella Present, Calls Tech Giant 'War Profiteer'

Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, has attributed the recent stock market decline to the Chinese AI tool DeepSeek rather than President Donald Trump&#8216;s policies.
What Happened: During an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, Bessent emphasized that the market downturn began with the announcement of DeepSeek.
He stated, &#8220;For everyone who thinks these market declines are all based on the President&#8217;s economic policies, I can tell you that this market decline started with the Chinese AI announcement of DeepSeek.&#8221;
"…What&#8217;s happening with the market I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s more a Mag 7 problem, not a MAGA problem,&#8221; Bessent added. The &#8220;Mag 7&#8221; refers to seven high-performing tech stocks that had previously driven the market higher.

Despite a 10% drop in U.S. stocks following Trump&#8217;s new global tariff regime announcement, Bessent downplayed the impact of these policies. He also reiterated the administration&#8217;s commitment to a &#8220;strong dollar&#8221; policy, dismissing claims that tariffs were meant to weaken the dollar.
The dollar has declined nearly 6% against major currencies since Trump&#8217;s inauguration.
Why It Matters: The market&#8217;s reaction to President Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement has been significant. The U.S. markets faced a severe downturn, with S&amp;P 500 companies<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44655719/trump-tariffs-erode-5-trillion-in-market-cap-in-2-days-as-china-retaliates-jerome-powell-warns-of-inflation"> losing $5 trillion in value</a> since the tariffs were announced.
This has led to concerns about potential global turmoil and negative impacts on consumers, as highlighted by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer in an interview with CNBC. Ballmer warned that the escalating tariffs could have far-reaching effects on the economy.
Furthermore, a Goldman Sachs analyst has pointed out that Trump&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44652222/trumps-tariffs-may-shift-us-spending-from-goods-to-services-creating-uncertainty-for-ecommerce-and-advertising-industries-analyst-warns"> tariffs could shift U.S. spending</a> from goods to services, creating uncertainty for e-commerce and advertising industries. This uncertainty is expected to slow corporate decisions and impact economic activity for the remainder of the year.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Says Stock Market Decline Is Due To China's DeepSeek, Not Trump's Policies: 'Mag 7 Problem, Not A MAGA Problem'

Chamath Palihapitiya, in a post on X, has shared an old video in which renowned investor Warren Buffett has shared his thoughts on the emotional and psychological aspects of stock ownership, emphasizing the importance of staying calm during market volatility.
What Happened: Buffett, known as the ‘Oracle of Omaha', shared his insights on stock ownership, emphasizing emotional and psychological readiness.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to do dumb things because your stock goes down, you shouldn&#8217;t own a stock at all," Buffet said during an interview with CNBC.

'If You're Going To Do Dumb Things Because Your Stock Goes Down…:' Warren Buffett's Old Warning Gains Steam As US Stocks Wipe Out $5 Trillion After Trump Tariffs

On Friday, former Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer expressed concern that President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">new tariffs could lead</a> to global turmoil and negatively impact consumers, especially as Microsoft's stock faces a 14.03% drop year-to-date.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/04/former-microsoft-ceo-steve-ballmer-on-trump-tariffs-not-good.html">interview</a> with CNBC, Ballmer warned that the U.S. government's escalating tariffs would have far-reaching effects on the economy, including significant challenges for consumers and investors.
"As a Microsoft shareholder, this kind of thing is not good," he stated, noting that the new tariffs on imported goods—affecting over 100 countries—would likely create significant disruption, particularly in industries reliant on global trade, like tech.
"I took just enough economics in college — that tariffs are actually going to bring some turmoil," Ballmer added.
Ballmer, who has been involved with Microsoft since its early days, spoke alongside Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and current CEO Satya Nadella at a celebration marking the company's 50th anniversary.
Ballmer, now the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, called himself Microsoft&#8217;s largest individual shareholder. A regulatory filing from 2014, the same year he purchased the Clippers for $2 billion, revealed that he owned more than 333 million Microsoft shares at the time.

Why It Matters: Earlier this week, Microsoft reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44645946/microsoft-halts-data-center-expansions-due-to-semiconductor-tariff-concerns-ai-overcapacity-fears">halted the launch of some</a> of its data center projects, both in the U.S. and internationally, despite committing $80 billion this fiscal year to AI-driven data center infrastructure.
Previously, Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor emeritus at Wharton School, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44648557/trumps-tariffs-could-be-worse-than-smoot-hawley-act-jeremy-siegel-tells-cnbc">compared Trump&#8217;s tariff policy</a> to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which is often blamed for exacerbating the Great Depression.
Jim Cramer also criticized the tariffs <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44642302/jim-cramer-slams-trumps-new-tariffs-despite-calling-himself-pro-tariff-labels-it-a-manmade-disaster">as a &#8220;manmade disaster,&#8221;</a> arguing they are not reciprocal and could cause significant market harm.
Conversely, JPMorgan analyst Thomas Kennedy sees tariffs as a potential catalyst for significant long-term transformation. He suggests that the age of globalization is over.

Trinh Nguyen, senior economist for emerging Asia at Natixis, told CNBC earlier that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44625309/teacher-would-laugh-and-say-sit-down-top-analyst-compares-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-calculations-to-a-9th-graders-economics-project">U.S. tariff strategy is primarily focused</a> on addressing trade imbalances rather than ensuring parity in tariff or non-tariff measures.
She explained that this approach poses a significant challenge for many Asian nations, especially those with lower income levels, as it demands they purchase more American goods than they export to the U.S., a target that is difficult to achieve in the short term.

Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Says Trump's New Tariffs Could Spark Global Turmoil, Hurt Consumers As Satya Nadella-Led MSFT's Stock Drops 14% YTD

The U.S. markets faced a severe downturn as tensions between the U.S. and China escalated following the announcement of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock"> new tariffs by President</a> Donald Trump.
What Happened: The stock market experienced a significant downturn on Friday, with S&amp;P 500 companies losing $5 trillion in value since Trump announced extensive tariffs on Wednesday, according to a report by Reuters.
The Nasdaq confirmed it was in a bear market, dropping over 20% from its record high. Oil and other commodity prices also saw a sharp decline. This $5 trillion loss marked a record two-day drop for the S&amp;P 500, surpassing the $3.3 trillion loss in March 2020 during the pandemic, as per LSEG data compiled by Reuters.
In response to Trump&#8217;s tariffs, China announced additional levies of 34% on U.S. goods, heightening fears of a global trade war. Trump imposed a 10% tariff on most U.S. imports, with higher levies on several countries, creating the steepest trade barriers in over a century.

All three major U.S. stock indexes faced their largest weekly percentage losses since March 2020. The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44642131/volatility-gauge-vix-surges-to-an-8-month-high-more-fear-more-opportunity-says-analyst"> Cboe Volatility Index</a> surged to its highest level since April 2020.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell commented on the unexpected size of Trump&#8217;s tariffs,<a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates"> predicting higher inflation</a> and slower growth. Meanwhile, JP Morgan increased its recession forecast to a 60% chance by year-end.
Why It Matters: The announcement of reciprocal tariffs by President Trump on April 2, 2025, marked a significant shift in U.S. trade policy. Described as &#8220;our Declaration of Economic Independence,&#8221; the tariffs aimed to rebalance trade relationships by imposing duties on imports from key partners.
The immediate impact was a massive sell-off in global markets, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday"> Wall Street erasing $2 trillion</a> in market cap on Thursday. Major companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) experienced substantial losses, reflecting investor concerns over the potential for a prolonged trade war.
Despite a strong U.S. labor market, with 228,000 jobs added in March, the fear of escalating trade tensions<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44647678/nasdaq-100-enters-bear-market-dow-in-correction-territory-as-traders-anxiously-await-powell-remarks"> overshadowed positive economic indicators</a>. The tariffs have been likened to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which worsened the Great Depression, raising concerns about the global economic outlook.

Trump Tariffs Erode $5 Trillion In Market Cap In 2 Days As China Retaliates, Jerome Powell Warns Of Inflation

The ongoing negotiations over TikTok's U.S. operations have been delayed after China signaled its opposition to the proposed sale. President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for ByteDance's divestment <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44645172/china-retaliates-with-34-tariff-on-all-us-imports-urges-trump-to-immediately-cancel-the-tariffs-calls-for-negotiation">due to the tariff hikes</a>.
What Happened: On Friday, President Trump announced an extension of the deadline for ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations of the popular video-sharing app TikTok.
The new deadline, extended by 75 days, was <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44350823/oracle-reportedly-in-talks-with-white-house-over-project-texas-20-to-manage-tiktok-amid-security-concerns">initially set to expire</a> on Saturday under a 2024 law that mandates ByteDance sell TikTok's U.S. assets or face a potential ban.
The delay comes after China expressed strong disapproval of the deal, a stance that has now complicated the negotiations, reported Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter.

The deal was reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44563161/trump-says-tiktok-has-a-lot-of-potential-buyers-deal-to-come-before-saturday-deadline">near completion by Wednesday</a>, with the structure set to spin off TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations into a new company. This new company would have been based in the U.S. and majority-owned by U.S. investors, with ByteDance maintaining a minority stake of less than 20%.
However, as tensions escalated over the U.S.-China trade relations and the recently introduced tariffs, China's opposition halted the deal.
The Chinese government, via the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said, "China has stated its position on TikTok on multiple occasions. China has always respected and protected the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and opposed practices that violate the basic principles of the market economy."

This response followed President Trump's decision to implement a new round of tariffs, increasing duties on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44628368/trumps-tariffs-prompt-china-to-vow-countermeasures-experts-see-retaliation-likely">Chinese goods to 54%</a>, which directly affected the negotiations.
Trump acknowledged the difficulty in finalizing the deal given the new tariffs but expressed hope that discussions could continue in good faith with China.
He also stated, &#8220;We do not want TikTok to &#8216;go dark,'&#8221; underscoring his intention to find a solution that prevents the app from being banned in the U.S.
Why It Matters: The delay in TikTok's U.S. divestment highlights the ongoing friction between the U.S. and China over tech companies, national security concerns, and trade relations.
TikTok has faced scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers over concerns that the Chinese government could use the app to gather sensitive data on American citizens or influence them through its algorithm.
The <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44345433/tiktok-ban-deadline-looms-but-vice-president-jd-vance-confirms-high-level-us-ownership-deal-is-nearly-done">2024 law was passed</a> with bipartisan support to address these concerns, and lawmakers have insisted that the divestment proceed swiftly to protect U.S. users.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Loads Up On Amazon Amid Over 20% Decline In A Year: Offloads UiPath, Roblox

<ul>
<li>Several altcoins crashed in minutes on Binance on Tuesday despite quiet market conditions.</li>
<li>Some have pointed to an exchange update as the cause of the turbulence, but questions remain.</li>
<li>Localized flash crashes are nothing new in crypto.</li>

While cryptocurrency market participants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44603859/bitcoin-braces-for-trump-tariff-announcement-short-term-optimism-has-the-upper-hand-experts-say">have been bracing for volatility all week</a>, users of the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, Binance, were still caught off guard when several altcoins crashed on the exchange, costing at least one trader seven figures.
Is an exchange update to blame?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steep Losses and Lingering Questions</h2>
On Tuesday, several altcoins saw significant price declines in minutes on Binance despite relatively quiet market conditions. The most notable of them, a popular Solana memecoin, Act 1 The Prophecy, or ACT, tanked as much as 52% in 30 minutes from $0.1897 to $0.0904 and, albeit at a slower pace, is still falling at the time of writing on Wednesday, trading at $0.0588.
Besides ACT, DEXE, the token for DeXe, a decentralized autonomous organization, also fell about 35% in 45 minutes, though, unlike ACT, it has recouped some of its initial losses at the time of writing.
Other tokens that recorded significant losses include BANANAS31, HIPPO, KAVA, LUMIA, QUICK, and TST.
Amid the chaos, at least one trader has suffered significant losses. Prominent crypto smart money tracker Lookonchain highlighted CoinGlass data showing that a whale was liquidated for $3.79 million as the price of ACT hit $0.1877.

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>
Many, including Lookonchain, have attributed the recent incident to an update to Binance&#8217;s leverage trading platform, sparking outrage from users. Specifically, on Tuesday, the exchange tweaked the leverage and margin tiers for several pairs, including 1000SATSUSDT, ACTUSDT, PNUTUSDT, NEOUSDT, NEOUSDC, TURBOUSDT, and MEWUSDT.&nbsp;
But the explanation that this update was the problem raises the question of why only ACT was affected in this list and why other tokens like DEXE were impacted.
Binance, for its part, has released the findings of a preliminary investigation, stating, &#8220;there were no market anomalies during the adjustments.&#8221; The exchange did, however, highlight large ACT spot sell orders on the platform around the time that may have sparked volatility under low liquidity conditions.&nbsp;
According to the exchange, three VIP accounts sold ACT tokens worth approximately 514,000 USDT, while one non-VIP account sold 540,000 USDT worth of the token. Still, the exchange dispelled any notion of a coordinated effort to drive down the price of the token by asserting that no single account made significant profits from the incident.
Localized flash crashes like this are nothing new in crypto.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Sea Stock In The Last 5 Years

Back in 2010, Elon Musk wasn't the world's richest man or the tech messiah with a rocket company, electric car empire, and social media platform in his grip. He was a newly minted billionaire fighting to keep Tesla alive, rebuilding SpaceX, and—at the time—trying to dodge a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44402199/elon-musks-first-ex-wife-says-she-sucked-at-being-his-trophy-wife-and-recalls-him-saying-if-you-were-my-employee-i-would-fire-you">media circus around his divorce</a>.
But when the headlines started claiming he "ran off with an actress," Musk lost his patience.
"Given the choice, I'd rather stick a fork in my hand than write about my personal life," he wrote in a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/correcting-the-record-about-my-divorce-2010-7">Business Insider essay</a>. "Unfortunately, it seems that I don't have any other option."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a></li>
</ul>
What followed was a rare, unfiltered look into Musk's private life—something he still mostly avoids today. He wasn't posting memes or fighting culture wars yet. This was about correcting what he called a journalist's "creepy fixation" on his marriage, finances, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43680809/elon-musks-ex-wife-whom-he-was-engaged-to-only-2-weeks-after-meeting-joked-he-invited-her-to-his-hotel-room-just-to-watch-rocket-videos">woman he was about to marry</a>: British actress Talulah Riley.
Musk made it clear that he filed for divorce from his first wife, Justine, before meeting Riley. "Talulah and I lived on opposite sides of the world and hadn't even known of each other's existence before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43940599/elon-musks-second-ex-wife-says-he-proposed-to-her-without-a-ring-and-they-shook-hands-on-it-but-later-he-gave-her-3-engagement-rings">marriage with Justine ended</a>," he wrote. The narrative that he abandoned a "devoted wife" to run off with a young actress? "Could not have been more falsely applied."
Still, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43680809/elon-musks-ex-wife-whom-he-was-engaged-to-only-2-weeks-after-meeting-joked-he-invited-her-to-his-hotel-room-just-to-watch-rocket-videos">relationship with Riley</a> did move quickly. Musk was reportedly engaged to her just two weeks after they met. In a 2014 <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-and-spacex-elon-musks-industrial-empire/">interview with CBS News</a>, Riley confirmed how fast things escalated: "It all happened very fast. We were engaged after, I think, sorta two weeks of knowing each other."
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
In the Business Insider essay, Musk also took the opportunity to praise his new fiancée. "It is worth mentioning that Talulah, as anyone who knows her would attest, is one of the most kind hearted and gentle people in the world," he wrote.
They married later that year in 2010, just months after meeting. But like much of Musk's life, the relationship didn't follow a straight path. They divorced in 2012, remarried in 2013, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/01/36561210/elon-musk-married-and-divorced-the-same-woman-twice-paying-her-over-20-million-in-settlements-she-sa">finalized a second divorce in 2016</a>.
He also shot down rumors that he was trying to dodge financial responsibilities. Media outlets had portrayed him as "broke," despite his equity in Tesla and SpaceX. Musk explained that he had funneled nearly all of his cash into saving Tesla from collapse in 2007, leaving just enough to cover his living expenses—which mostly included childcare and supporting Justine's household.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
His legal bills alone? Around $4 million, or $170,000 a month, most of which went to his ex-wife's lawyers. Under California law, he was required to foot both sides of the bill.
"I never said I was broke," he wrote. "At no point have I ever sought to limit support payments to Justine."
He said he had offered her a post-tax settlement worth roughly $80 million, but she declined, insisting on equity in Tesla and SpaceX. A judge ultimately sided with Musk, upholding the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42878599/elon-musk-married-and-divorced-the-same-woman-twice-paid-her-over-20-million-in-settlements-she-refers-to-him-as-perfect-ex-husband">couple's marital agreement</a>.
As for the media coverage, Musk didn't hold back. He called out journalists for repeating inaccuracies without checking court documents. One, in particular, he described as "Silicon Valley's Jayson Blair"—and said that was probably unfair to Blair.
Fifteen years and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44050706/elon-musks-neuralink-executive-and-mother-to-3-of-his-13-kids-says-he-was-never-interested-in-doing-anything-for-money-just-for-humanity">several kids later</a>, Musk still doesn't open up much about his personal life. But in 2010, when he felt backed into a corner, he made his case—on his terms, fork and all.

$100 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43759618/charlie-munger-said-the-hardest-part-of-getting-rich-is-the-first-100000-but-from-there-it-snowballs-and-you-can-ease-off-the-gas">late Charlie Munger</a> didn't warm up with pleasantries—and he definitely didn't care about making anyone comfortable. In a <a href="https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/charlie-munger">2023 interview on the "Acquired" podcast</a>, just weeks before he would have turned 100, the Berkshire Hathaway legend made his view on money crystal clear: it's not about yachts, bragging rights, or some Forbes list.&nbsp;
"The point of getting rich is so you don't have to need other people, so you don't have to get along with other people," he said.&nbsp;
It wasn't bitterness. It was clarity. When asked if he'd go into investing again if he were 30 years old today, Munger said he probably would—because it fit his nature. But managing outside capital? Not so much.

</ul>
"I didn't really enjoy the 3 and 30 business," he said. "Once I had enough money on my own, I'd rather just operate with my own money."
He didn't want to chase investors. He didn't want to pitch ideas or take meetings just to appease consultants. He was over it. "Being forced to sell, being forced to deal with investment bankers, being forced to deal with investment consultants, being forced to deal with venture capital… To hell with them. Who wants it?"
The takeaway wasn't that wealth buys power—it's that it removes friction. Fewer meetings. Fewer explanations. Fewer people standing between you and your decisions.
Munger also wasn't trying to act like success was a formula.&nbsp;
When reflecting on Berkshire's early days, he said it came down to a mix of ability, effort, and pure luck. "Almost everything has three things: They're very intelligent, they worked very hard, and they were very lucky. It takes all three."
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>
But knowing when to act—that mattered too. "When you know you have an edge, you should bet heavily," he said. "Most people don't teach that in business school."
That mindset showed up in everything from his investment philosophy to how he ran partnerships. He preferred simplicity, trust, and long-term thinking. He liked working with people who stayed the course, not those chasing the next exit.
And despite his success, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44438885/charlie-munger-told-a-20-year-old-that-getting-rich-through-investing-is-damn-near-impossible-and-you-might-need-10-million-in-the-bank">he knew the game didn't get easier</a>. "It's very difficult to invest money well," he said. "I think it's all but impossible to do time after time after time in venture capital."
Munger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44458811/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-drives-a-2014-cadillac-but-joked-charlie-mungers-idea-of-traveling-in-style-was-an-air-conditioned-bus">didn't care much for trends</a>, titles, or playing nice. He cared about thinking clearly and doing what made sense. If that rubbed people the wrong way, he'd already made peace with that.

The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 141.26 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Huntington Ingalls Indus Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 14.27. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In 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.

미국의 계란(달걀) 가격이 주로 조류 독감으로 상업용 가금류가 큰 피해를 입었기 때문 지난 1년 동안 60% 상승했다. 전문가들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/43117087/bird-flu-update-first-commercial-case-in-georgia-moderna-receives-590-million-to-develop-vaccine" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">가격이 계속 상승할 것</a>으로 보고 있는 이유를 살펴보겠다.
상세 내용: 대형 A급 달걀 1판의 평균 가격이 지난 1년 동안 60% 상승해 12월에는 4.15달러에 달했다. 이는 <a href="https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/APU0000708111">노동통계국</a>의 데이터에 따른 것입니다. 미 농무부(USDA)는 H5N1이라는 조류 독감 바이러스 변종이 12월에 1,320만 마리의 상업용 산란용 닭을 죽여서 2025년까지 달걀 가격이 추가로 45% 상승할 것이라고 예측하고 있다.
다음 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/43343648/all-60-passengers-4-crew-members-onboard-american-airlines-jet-feared-dead-after-midair-collision-official-says">미국 항공기 중간 충돌로 64명 사망, 2001년 이후 최악의 항공 재난 </a>
기록적인 고가 외에도 소비자들은 주요 소매업체인 코스트코 홀세일(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>)과 앨버트슨스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>)에서 달걀 부족과 구매 제한에 직면하고 있다.
미국 농무부의 데이터에 따르면 조류 독감으로 인해 지난 분기 동안 2천만 마리 이상의 산란 닭이 사망한 기록이 있다.
이 바이러스를 차단하기 위한 노력의 일환으로, 농부들은 파괴된 닭과 달걀에 대해 USDA 프로그램을 통해 보상을 받는다. CBS 뉴스 <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/egg-industry-chicken-deaths-bird-flu/">보도</a>에 따르면, 2022년 발병 이후 농부들에게 12억 5천만 달러가 지급되었다.
실제로 달걀 생산자들은 최근 조류 독감 발병 중에 기록적인 수익을 보고하고 있다. 칼메인 푸즈(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CALM#NYSE">CALM</a>), 미국 최대의 달걀 생산업체는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/42862269/cal-maine-foods-stock-climbs-after-strong-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat">최근 분기 매출이 9억 5천 4백만 달러</a>로, 7억 5천 1백 49만 달러라는 컨센서스 추정치를 크게 웃돌았다고 보고했다.
이 회사는 조류 독감 발병으로 인한 공급 제한이 매출 증가의 일부 원인이라고 설명했다. 칼메인 푸즈의 주가는 지난 6개월 동안 75% 이상 상승했다.
텔시 어드바이저리 그룹의 애널리스트 사랑 보라(Sarang Vora)는 이번 주에 바이탈 팜스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VITL#NASDAQ">VITL</a>), 풀밭에서 기른 달걀을 전문으로 하는 중소 생산업체에 대한 분석을 시작했다. 보라는 이 회사의 매출이 연평균 19%에서 20% 성장하여 2027년에는 10억 달러에 이를 것으로 보고했다. 이는 2024년 6억 달러에 비해 증가한 수치이다.
이번 주, 로즈 에이커 팜스(Rose Acre Farms), 미국에서 두 번째로 큰 달걀 생산업체가 조류 독감 양성 반응을 보인 닭을 확인하여 달걀 가격과 부족 기간이 연장될 가능성을 높였다.

캠벨 스프 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NYSE">CPB</a>)는 견고한 공급망, 성공적인 혁신 및 효과적인 마케팅 프로그램으로 인해 어려운 소비자 환경 속에서도 탄력을 보여주고 있다. 
회사의 비용 절감 계획 또한 이러한 성공 이야기에 이바지하고 있다. 2024 회계 연도 2분기까지 회사는 스나이더스 랜스(Snyder&#8217;s-Lance) 시너지를 포함한 여러 해 동안의 비용 절감 프로그램의 일환으로 9억 1500만 달러의 비용 절감을 발생시켰다. 경영진은 2025 회계 연도 말까지 10억달러 상당의 비용 절감을 실현할 것으로 예상되는 가운데 있는 것으로 보인다.
<h3>CPB에게 잘 작용하는 것들</h3>
캠벨 스프는 포트폴리오 내 다양한 기회에 잘 대응할 수 있는 위치에 있으며 변화하는 소비 트렌드와 일치시키기 위한 여러 기회를 잡을 수 있는 위치에 있다. 회사의 전략과 계획은 다음 세 가지 핵심 영역에 중점을 두고 있다.
1) 마진 목표의 범위 내에서 제품 가격을 경쟁력 있게 유지하고 경제적인 가격을 보장하는 것
2) 마케팅 및 혁신 계획을 유지하는 것
3) 투자 수익률과 영향력 있는 계획에 중점을 둔 수입 절복적 및 균형 있는 지출 방침을 준수하는 것.
이어지는 혁신 정책과 소보스 브랜즈(SOVOS Brands)의 인수가 보조되면서 캠벨 스프는 식품 산업에서의 위치를 단단히 다지고 가속화된 성장을 보일 수 있을 것으로 예상됩니다. 이번 인수는 캠벨의 밀 앤 비버리지(Meals &amp; Beverages) 포트폴리오를 라오(Rao)의 소스, 마이클 앤젤로(Michael Angelo&#8217;s)의 브랜드 및 누사(noosa)와 같은 고성장 브랜드로 강화한다. 소보스 브랜즈는 캠프벨에 파스타 소스, 건파스타, 수프, 냉동식품, 냉동 피자 및 요거트와 같은 프리미엄 제품군을 가져온다.
계속 진행 중인 이러한 추진력과 2024년 3월에 완료된 소보스 브랜즈의 인수를 통해 캠벨 스프는 높은 성장판을 구축하고 견고한 위치에 있다. 이런 이유로 캠벨 스프에는 비용의 하락과 수익의 증가에 연관되어있는 이점이 어느때보다 많아졌다. 비즈니스에서의 이익을 이끌어내기 위한 관리의 직접적인 점포 배송(DSD) 변환 프로젝트는 스낵 부문에서의 추가 성장과 이익을 기대하고 있다. 이 프로젝트는 3가지 핵심 요소를 통해 이루어질 것으로 예상된다. 첫번째는 스낵 DSD 로지스틱스 및 창고 네트워크를 하나로 조합하는 것, 두번째는 회사의 중요한 독립적 유통 파트너가 사용하는 도구 및 기술을 현대화하는 것 , 세번째는 DSD 경로에 중점을 둔 것이다.
<h3>기타 알아둬야할 사항</h3>
캠벨 스프는 변동성이 높은 소비자 풍토를 탐색하고 있다. 2024 회계 연도 2분기에 회사의 매출 비중은 43.7%를 차지한 스낵 사업으로부터 혜택을 보았다. 이 사업 부문의 순매출은 이번 분기 기준 유기적 기준으로 1% 증가한 7억 2500만달러를 기록하였으며 이는 8가지의 파워브랜드의 매출 급증 (4%) 이라는 결과로 이어졌다. 경제적인 현실이 더욱 어려워진 가운데 Goldfish, Lance, Kettle Brand 및 Cape Cod와 같은 브랜드의 강점으로 인해 매출이 강화된 것으로 보인다. 경영진은 DSD 전략을 통해 Snacks 부문에서의 더 많은 성장과 이익이 예상된다고 말하고 있다. 이는 다음과 같은 세 가지 핵심 요소를 통해 이루어 질 것으로 예상된다. 1) 스낵 DSD 로지스틱스 및 창고 네트워크를 하나로 조합하는 것 2) 회사의 중요한 독립적 유통 파트너가 사용하는 도구 및 기술을 현대화하는 것 3) DSD 경로에 중점을 둔 것이다.
<h3>다른 사항들</h3>
캠벨 스프는 변동성이 높은 소비자 풍토를 탐색하고 있다. 2024 회계 연도 2분기에 회사의 매출 비중은 43.7%를 차지한 스낵 사업으로부터 혜택을 보았다. 회사의 2024 회계 연도 2분기에는 연간 기준으로 다소 낮아진 소프트 볼륨/믹스(전년 동기대비 2% 감소)가 1% 상승한 순 가격실현 때문에 유기적 순매출이 1% 감소했다. 이러한 사업 중심의 영향으로 캠벨 스프의 매출은 1% 줄었지만 이는 기대를 하던 것보다 나은 성과이다. 근래 경제의 풍향이 갈수록 어려워지고 있는 가운데로 인해 일부 카테고리와 소비자 인구통계학적 요소에 영향을 미칠 것으로 보인다. 2024 회계 연도 중 회사는 당초 보고된 숫자들에 비해 0.5% 감소부터 1.5% 증가 사이의 순매출 유지를 예상하고 있다. 유기적 매출은 평평한 수준에서 2%까지의 증가를 보일 것으로 예상된다. 둘째 분기에 발표된 이익 보고서에 따르면 회사의 경영진은 캠벨 스프의 2024 회계 연도의 순매출에 대한 전망의 하측으로 진행하고 있다고 밝혔으며, 이에 따라 올해 내내 순차적인 개선을 지켜보고 있다. 3분기에는 회사의 경영진은 유기적 매출을 기준으로 수준이 하향되어 2학기에 이어 4분기에도 순차적인 증가가 예상된다고 말했다. 캠벨 스프는 장기간에 걸쳐 비용 인플레이션이 있었고, 기업은 2024 회계 연도 동안 주요 인플레이션 비율이 단일 숫자 범위 내에서 유지될 것으로 예상하고 있다. 회사는 2024 회계 연도 동안 브랜드 관련 투자를 지속할 것으로 예상하고 있습니다. 회사의 경영진은 올 해 회사의 마케팅 및 판매 비용 예산이 올 해 회계 연도 9월과 12월 사이에 총 매출의 9%에서 10% 사이로 늘어날 것으로 예상하고 있다. 그렇지만 회사는 올해 2분기에 기대 이익과 마진 개선을 통해 주로 4분기에 경제적인 풍토 개선이 나타날 것으로 예상하고 있다. 이러한 변화는 지속적인 생산성 향상 및 용량 추세의 증가를 통해 반영될 것으로 보인다.
캠벨 스프는 2024 회계 연도 동안 조정된 EBIT가 3-5% 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 조정된 EPS는 3-5% 증가하여 3.09~3.15%로 예상된다. 3분기에는 최근 1년간 68센트였던 EPS보다 낮은 70센트 정도의 EPS가 예상된다. 캠벨 스프의 주식은 지난 6개월 동안 15.3% 라는 산업의 성장률에 비해 11.5%의 상승을 기록했다.
