Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is one stock that has skyrocketed from its beginning stages, leaving many wishing they got in on it from the start. One woman recently called "The Ramsey Show" for financial advice regarding her Tesla stock, which grew to an astonishing amount from her initial investment.&nbsp;
Her dilemma? Whether to cash out and pay off her mortgage or hold onto the stock because, in her words, "Nobody knows what Tesla&#8217;s capable of."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From $1,000 to $380,000 in Tesla Stock</h2>
The caller explained that she invested $1,000 in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43686887/teslas-stock-climbs-nearly-3-in-thursday-pre-market-as-analyst-predicts-growth-in-ev-ai-and-robotics">Tesla stock</a> in 2011, in the company's early stages. Over the years, without adding any additional money to her investment, the stock surged, reaching upwards of $380,000. She and her family now owe $288,000 on their home and are weighing the benefits of selling the stock to become mortgage-free.&nbsp;&nbsp;

</ul>
Financial expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43276105/trumps-tax-plan-could-slash-social-security-benefits-33-by-2035-ramsey-show-host-george-kamel-weighs-in">George Kamel</a>, a host on "The Ramsey Show," was impressed by the caller's success. "What?" he reacted in shock, before confirming that she had truly turned just $1,000 into hundreds of thousands of dollars without adding more funds to the investment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Risks of Holding a Single Stock</h2>
While acknowledging the incredible return, Kamel advised the caller to be cautious. He emphasized the risks associated with keeping such a large portion of wealth in a single stock, even one as well-known as Tesla. "As soon as you can get that house paid off and get out of a single stock, the better," he said.
His advice aligns with common financial principles: diversifying investments can help protect against market downturns. Tesla's stock, like any other, is subject to volatility. Holding onto the stock means exposure to potential price swings that could reduce the value of her gains.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Role of Taxes in the Decision</h2>
One of the biggest factors to consider in selling such a large stock position is the tax implication. Kamel advised the caller to consult a tax professional before making any moves. Since the stock's value has increased significantly since she bought it, selling would trigger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43669470/im-so-sorry-dave-ramsey-left-speechless-after-hearing-the-capital-gains-tax-a-canadian-restaurant-owner-would-owe-if-he-sold-his-business">capital gains taxes</a>. Depending on her income and how long she has held the stock, the tax bill could be substantial.
Instead of selling all at once, Kamel suggested an alternative approach: selling off portions of the stock gradually over a few years. This strategy could help reduce the overall tax burden by spreading the gains across multiple tax years, potentially keeping her in a lower tax bracket.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Her Income Cover the Mortgage Instead?</h2>
Another consideration is the caller's household income. She shared that her family is earning $275,000 annually, which is a strong financial position. Kamel's advice implies that, with such a high income, they may be able to aggressively pay down the mortgage without relying entirely on the Tesla stock sale.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Should She Do?</h2>
Ultimately, the decision rests on her financial goals and risk tolerance. Paying off the mortgage would provide security and eliminate monthly payments, but holding onto the stock could yield further gains—though with added risk. Consulting a financial and tax professional could help her determine the best course of action based on her specific situation.
For investors who find themselves in a similar position, the key takeaway is clear: while big gains in the stock market can be life-changing, careful planning is essential to ensure those gains translate into lasting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/36957443/the-majority-of-americans-dont-feel-financially-secure-and-believe-they-need-to-earn-233-000-a-y">financial stability</a>.

Should She Cash Out? Woman Who Turned $1,000 Into $380,000 In Tesla Stock Asks The Ramsey Show For Guidance

Billionaire business tycoon Mark Cuban has expressed his dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party&#8217;s salesmanship.
What Happened: Cuban, a supporter of then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the last election, voiced his disappointment over the Democrats&#8217; performance in an interaction on Saturday.
He pinpointed the party&#8217;s failure to effectively communicate their message as a significant reason for their defeat in the White House and Senate races, and the Republicans&#8217; success in retaining the House majority.
Cuban shared his experiences as a spokesperson for Harris&#8217;s campaign. He criticized the Biden administration&#8217;s approach to several issues, notably immigration, labeling it as &#8220;awful.&#8221;
Despite his criticisms, Cuban attributed the Democrats&#8217; November losses to inadequate salesmanship. He compared this to President Donald Trump&#8216;s knack for selling a winning message, despite his own criticisms of Trump.

"It was kind of fun actually. I learned that the Democrats can't sell worth shit. And they're so, you know, persnickety about every little detail and that's why the Republicans at the presidential level — I don't want to say kicked their ass because it wasn't a runaway, but like I said, Donald Trump can sell. If you gave the Democrats a dollar bill and said, you can sell these for 50 cents, they would hire 50 people to decide how to do it and then would not know how to sell a dollar bill for 50 cents,&#8221; Cuban said. 
&#8220;If you gave it to Donald Trump and said sell this dollar bill for two dollars, he'd figure out a way. He'd tell you that two dollar bill is huge, it'll get you gold tennis shoes, it'll get you a Trump meme coin. That's the problem and that's what I learned,&#8221; Cuban added. 
When asked about possibility of a presidential run, Cuban emphatically stated, &#8220;Hell&nbsp;no. No. No. No, it's&nbsp;not going to happen.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s critique of the Democrats&#8217; salesmanship underscores the party&#8217;s struggle to effectively communicate their message to voters. 
This has been a recurring issue, leading to significant losses in recent elections. 
Cuban&#8217;s comments also highlight the importance of effective communication and salesmanship in politics, a factor that has played a significant role in shaping the political landscape.

Mark Cuban Criticizes Democrats, Says They Fail at Selling Their Message

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev recently expressed the company&#8217;s commitment toward prediction markets, stating that they are poised to shape the future of trading and information.
What Happened: Tenev, during an&nbsp;episode of &#8220;Hard Fork,&#8221; a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/podcasts/hardfork-grok-robinhood.html">podcast</a> by The New York Times, shared his belief in the potential of prediction markets. Tenev, who has a net worth of over $3 billion, explained the distinction between prediction markets, sports betting, and traditional news models.
&#8220;Prediction&nbsp;markets are the future of&nbsp;not just trading, but also&nbsp;information,&#8221; Tenev stated. He further elaborated that prediction markets, which involve wagers on the outcomes of future events, could potentially deliver news faster than traditional models. 
&nbsp;&#8220;I&#8217;ve been a big believer in the power of prediction markets for a long time — kind of a student of them — and I think prediction markets should be live for everything,&#8221; he added. 
He also suggested that the economic value of prediction markets could surpass that of news after the event.

Robinhood had previously seen&nbsp;success with its prediction market&nbsp;for the 2024 presidential election. The platform also introduced&nbsp;Super Bowl event contracts earlier&nbsp;this month, but had to pause the rollout following&nbsp;a request from the US&nbsp;Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
In a recent earnings call, Tenev underscored the potential of prediction markets for Robinhood&#8217;s business, stating,&nbsp;&#8220;We had over half a&nbsp;billion contracts traded in right&nbsp;around a week leading up&nbsp;to the election&#8230;&nbsp;what you should expect from&nbsp;us is a comprehensive events&nbsp;platform that will give access&nbsp;to prediction markets across a&nbsp;wide variety of contracts later&nbsp;this year.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The commitment to prediction markets by Robinhood signifies a shift in the trading landscape. 
As Tenev pointed out, these markets could potentially provide faster and more economically valuable information than traditional news models. 
With Robinhood&#8217;s previous success in the 2024 presidential election prediction market and plans for a comprehensive events platform, the company seems to be positioning itself at the forefront of this emerging trend in trading.

Robinhood CEO Foresees Prediction Markets as Future of Trading

Renowned YouTuber MrBeast has disclosed a massive financial loss amounting to &#8220;tens of millions of dollars&#8221; from the production of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/05/32297538/mrbeast-invades-suburbia-buys-neighborhood-cul-de-sac-to-create-ultimate-friend-zone">Amazon Prime Video series, &#8220;Beast Games.&#8221;</a>
What Happened: In a recent podcast, MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, confessed to the financial loss. 
Despite the fact that &#8220;Beast Games&#8221; was one of Amazon&#8217;s most successful series debuts in 2024, Donaldson labeled the decision to create it as&nbsp;&#8220;not a good financial decision.&#8221;
The reality show, consisting of 10 episodes and offering contestants the opportunity to win $5 million cash prizes, garnered over 50 million viewers within its first 25 days. However, the high production costs led to significant losses for Donaldson. He disclosed that the sets for just&nbsp;the first two episodes cost&nbsp;more than $29 million.
During the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjrJ2DJN_pA&amp;ab_channel=TheDiaryOfACEO">podcast</a>, Donaldson confirmed that the total production cost surpassed $100 million. Despite the financial setback, he expressed no regrets, underlining his dedication to creating high-quality content for the YouTube community and his apprehension about disappointing them.
&#8220;I lost a ton of money filming the show, so that came out of my pocket,&#8221; he said. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/02/43766653/mrbeasts-beast-games-wraps-up-first-season-heres-how-much-money-players-won">MrBeast&#8217;s Beast Games Wraps Up First Season &#8211; Here&#8217;s How Much Money Players Won</a>
&#8220;I lost tens of millions of dollars on that show. I&#8217;m an idiot,&#8221; he said adding that the sets on the first two episodes cost more than $29 million together.
In the same conversation, Donaldson also touched upon his personal finances, stating&nbsp;that he had &#8220;less than&nbsp;a million dollars&#8221; in his&nbsp;bank account, even though he boasts over&nbsp;365 million subscribers on YouTube.
&#8220;For me, it was about making season one as good as possible. I can&#8217;t let the YouTube community down because creators don&#8217;t have a good rep when it comes to doing stuff on streaming platforms. If I fail, it&#8217;s over; no streaming platform is ever gonna touch a YouTuber ever again,&#8221; he added.
Talking about his mental health, he said, &#8220;There&#8217;s definitely times where I would cry. But if my mental health was a priority, I wouldn&#8217;t be as successful as I am.&#8221;
&#8220;This is the life I chose. You want success, you want to change the world, you want to do this. And this is the price you have to pay,&#8221; he added. 
Why It Matters: This incident underscores the high costs associated with producing quality content, even for successful YouTubers like MrBeast. Despite the financial loss, 
Donaldson&#8217;s commitment to his audience and the quality of his content remains unwavering. This could potentially influence other content creators&#8217; decisions regarding the production of high-budget projects, highlighting the balance between financial investment and audience engagement.

MrBeast Calls His Amazon Deal for 'Beast Games' a Financial Mistake: 'This Is the Price You Have to Pay'

Friedrich Merz of the conservative CDU is likely to become Germany's new chancellor, according to exit polls from Sunday's elections. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/01/42920583/musk-supports-german-afd-party-as-remedy-for-faltering-economy">far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)</a> finished second.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.reuters.com/graphics/GERMANY-ELECTION/RESULTS/movaynkgova/">Reuters</a> reports that the first exit polls show the conservative CDU/CSU bloc taking about 28% of the vote. The AfD is on track to finish with about 20% of the vote.
Current Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD) is running third, with about 16%, which would be its worst showing in decades. The Greens have about 13% of the vote, with several other parties dividing the remainder.
Despite the CDU/CSU bloc&#8217;s comfortable lead, Germany may face months of political uncertainty as the party will need to form a coalition to secure a majority.
The conservative bloc, composed of the Christian Democrats (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union, stands for low taxes, budget discipline, conservative-liberal values, and a strong role for Germany within the European Union and NATO.
The AfD, established as an anti-euro party in 2013, has evolved into an anti-immigrant grouping with some radical far-right members. Its leader, Alice Weidel, recently received support from the new U.S. administration, including a meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and an endorsement from Elon Musk.
Why It Matters: The election results could have significant implications for Germany&#8217;s economy and its stance on immigration. The AfD&#8217;s surge in popularity is notable, particularly given its anti-immigrant stance and the recent endorsement from Elon Musk.
The election could also impact the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/02/43886450/germanys-2025-election-could-make-or-break-cannabis-legalization-heres-where-key-parties-stand">future of cannabis legalization in Germany</a>. The SPD has been supportive of cannabis legalization. The conservatives&#8217; potential victory could change the course of this policy.

Merz on Track To Lead Germany Following Sunday Election, Far-Right AfD Takes 20% of Vote

When deciding between buying a home or investing in a business, financial stability plays a crucial role. That's exactly the dilemma Casey from Lexington, Kentucky, presented on a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrV8wCxBC78&amp;t=769s">recent episode</a> of "The Ramsey Show" with hosts George Kamel and Ken Coleman.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Dilemma: Homeownership vs. Business Expansion</h2>
Casey and her husband are working through Baby Step 3, which in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43768530/should-married-couples-split-expenses-dave-ramsey-says-no-youre-married-not-roommates">Dave Ramsey</a>'s framework means they're building a fully funded emergency fund of three to six months' worth of expenses. Once they complete this step, they're debating between purchasing a home or putting money into expanding Casey's husband's restaurant business.
Don't Miss:

</ul>
While the business is already established, Casey explains that her husband currently has partners and wants to eventually open his own restaurant. However, their financial situation raises concerns. Their household income varies significantly, with Casey's husband earning around $35,000 to $40,000 annually before taxes. Additionally, Casey stays home to homeschool their children, meaning their financial situation relies solely on her husband's earnings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Ramsey Show's Advice</h2>
Kamel and Coleman strongly advised against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41304880/should-i-buy-a-225k-business-or-grow-my-30k-side-hustle-dave-ramsey-weighs-in">investing in a new business</a> at this stage. The restaurant industry is known for its high risk, and they emphasized the importance of financial stability before taking on even more.
"There is immense risk in starting a restaurant," Kamel cautioned. Coleman reinforced the idea of patience, advising Casey's husband to focus on his current business, learn from his experiences, and ensure financial stability before making a major move. He quoted an old saying: "If you chase two rabbits, you lose them both."
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
When it comes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41876775/u-s-homebuyers-are-now-56-on-average-as-younger-generations-struggle-with-wildly-unaffordable-market-housing-expert-warns">homeownership</a>, the hosts initially agreed that buying a home should be the next goal after completing Baby Step 3. They called this "Baby Step 3B" in Ramsey's plan—saving aggressively for a down payment before moving on to investing in retirement.
However, after learning about the couple's income, their concerns about income stability led to a key point: homeownership may not be a wise decision at this stage either. Coleman pointed out that Casey's husband's income isn't high enough to comfortably afford a mortgage, warning that an unexpected downturn in the business could leave them financially vulnerable. "I would not be in any hurry to get in a house at all," he stressed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Priority: Increasing Income</h2>
Ultimately, the hosts agreed that before considering either homeownership or business expansion, Casey's husband needs to focus on increasing his income.
"We've got to delay the business dream," Kamel said. "The income is a crisis at this point."&nbsp;

Coleman went even further, suggesting that Casey's husband could potentially earn more working elsewhere. "My goodness, he could make more working at Walmart," he said, highlighting that even a retail job could provide better financial stability at this stage.
While Casey and her husband are eager to build a future, "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43758999/the-idea-that-youre-going-to-tax-corporate-america-is-mythology-dave-ramsey-says-the-consumer-always-pays">The Ramsey Show</a>" hosts made it clear: neither buying a house nor expanding the business is a good idea right now. Instead, they encouraged them to focus on increasing their income, stabilizing their financial situation, and then working toward homeownership. Only after achieving financial security should they consider investing in a new business venture.
For those facing a similar dilemma, Kamel and Coleman's key takeaway is simple: financial stability comes first. Ensuring a steady, sufficient income lays the foundation for smart, long-term financial decisions.

'Should We Buy A House Or Invest In Our Restaurant Business?' The Ramsey Show Weighs In

Investor Chris Camillo has transformed a modest sum of $84,000 into a whopping $42 million over a span of 15 years, leveraging a unique investment strategy known as social arbitrage.
What Happened: Camillo&#8217;s strategy is centered around spotting investment opportunities by monitoring social media platforms and making early investments. His nearly 15-year track record from 2006 to 2020 boasts an average 77% annual compounded return, as confirmed by trading expert Jack D. Schwager.
According to a report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-trading-strategies-social-arbitrage-chris-camillo-bets-picks-2021-8">by </a>Insider, Schwager audited and wrote about Camillo and others in his book &#8220;Unknown Market Wizards: The Best Traders You&#8217;ve Never Heard Of.&#8220;
Breaking away from traditional investors, Camillo doesn&#8217;t depend on company earnings reports or Wall Street analysts. He instead utilizes platforms like TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to identify trends and investment opportunities, while also keeping a keen eye on the everyday world.

His remarkable gains, audited and confirmed by Schwager, started with a balance of $84,000 in August 2006. By May 2021, his cumulative profits had skyrocketed to $42 million.
Such performance is deemed rare, as even professional money managers find it challenging to beat the market. In fact,&nbsp;over 86% of US active&nbsp;stock-fund managers failed to outperform the S&amp;P 1500 in the 20 years through 2020.
However, Camillo&#8217;s strategy is not without its risks. Biljana Adebambo, the academic director of the Master of Science in Finance program at the University of San Diego School of Business, highlighted that his approach likely necessitated the use of riskier strategies such as options, which can amplify the volatility of returns and the frequency or severity of losses, reports the outlet. 
Why It Matters: Camillo&#8217;s success story underscores the potential of social arbitrage as an investment strategy. In an era where social media plays a pivotal role in shaping trends, his approach offers a fresh perspective on investment decision-making. 
However, it&#8217;s important to note the inherent risks associated with such a strategy, as pointed out by Adebambo.
Currently, Camillo is committed to educating others on how to leverage social arbitrage. 
He shares his knowledge and insights via his YouTube channel, Dumb Money Live, and engages with a community of social-arb investors on Dumb Money&#8217;s Discord channel.

Chris Camillo Made $42 Million Trading Stocks Over 15 Years, Here's His Success Strategy

In a strategic shift, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has unveiled its latest product, the iPhone 16e, marking its exit from the budget <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43424187/apples-struggles-in-ai-and-ar-indicate-a-loss-in-product-edge">smartphone market</a>.
Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman in his <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-02-23/apple-abandons-budget-phones-inside-apple-s-modem-m4-macbook-air-launch-timing?srnd=undefined&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">latest</a> weekly "Power On" has shared that Apple&#8217;s new iPhone 16e, priced at $599, is $170 more expensive than its predecessor, the iPhone SE.
This price hike places the iPhone 16e in a different segment, leaving the budget smartphone market to rivals such as&nbsp;Samsung Electronics Co.,&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s Google, and Chinese manufacturers.
Despite lacking some features of the regular iPhone 16, the iPhone 16e offers most of the flagship lineup&#8217;s features for $200 less.

The decision to increase the price of its low-end iPhone comes as Apple&#8217;s China revenue declined by&nbsp;11% and total iPhone sales&nbsp;fell about 1% during the holiday quarter. 
This suggests that Apple is prioritizing profit margins over higher unit sales.
Apple&#8217;s new pricing strategy could potentially impede its customer base expansion in emerging markets like India. However, the company may continue to sell older models in certain markets through carriers without advertising them on its website, a tactic Apple has used in the past.
Along with the iPhone 16e, Apple is also gearing up&nbsp;to launch the M4 MacBook&nbsp;Air and has confirmed&nbsp;that Apple Intelligence is coming&nbsp;to the Vision Pro.

$1.4 Billion Ethereum Stolen In Largest Crypto Hack In History
Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit suffered a major breach on Friday which resulted in the theft of $1.4 billion Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>). The incident is considered the largest cryptocurrency hack in history, surpassing the 2021 Poly Network<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43886224/bybit-founder-confirms-1-4-billion-ethereum-hack-blames-masked-transaction"> hack of $611 million.&nbsp;</a>
The attack, which targeted Bybit&#8217;s Ethereum cold wallet, resulted in the loss of 401,347 ETH ($1.12 billion), 90,376 stETH ($253 million), 15,000 cmETH ($44 million), and 8,000 mETH ($23 million), <a href="https://x.com/OnchainLens/status/1892964703263244377">according</a> to Onchain Lens.

Following the discovery of the theft, Bybit launched a recovery bounty program with a reward of up to 10% of the recovered funds to ethical cyber and network security experts who retrieve any of the stolen assets.
The potential bounty of up to $140 million is one of the largest crypto recovery efforts in history.
&#8220;Within 24 hours of the event, we were overwhelmed with support from some of the best people and organizations in the industry, and we do not take it for granted. We have shared in a dark moment of crypto history, and we&#8217;ve proven we are better than the malicious actors,&#8221; said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit.
SEC Creates Cyber And Emerging Technologies Unit&nbsp;
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday announced the creation of the Cyber and Emerging Technologies Unit (CETU) to focus on combatting cyber-related misconduct and to protect retail investors in the emerging technologies space.&nbsp;
The CETU, led by Laura D'Allaird, replaces the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit and employs approximately 30 fraud specialists and attorneys.&nbsp;
"Under Laura's leadership, this new unit will complement the work of the Crypto Task Force led by Commissioner Hester Peirce. Importantly, the new unit will also allow the SEC to deploy enforcement resources judiciously," said Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda.&nbsp;
"The unit will not only protect investors but will also facilitate capital formation and market efficiency by clearing the way for innovation to grow. It will root out those seeking to misuse innovation to harm investors and diminish confidence in new technologies," Uyeda said.&nbsp;
The CETU listed the following as high-priority areas of focus:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Fraud committed with the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning</li>
<li>Fraud on social media, the dark web, or false websites </li>
<li>Takeovers of retail brokerage accounts</li>
<li>Fraud involving blockchain technology and crypto assets</li>
<li>Hacking to obtain material nonpublic information</li>
</ul>

Before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41255752/jeff-bezos-says-all-overnight-success-takes-10-years-amazon-didnt-turn-a-profit-for-almost-a-decade">Jeff Bezos built Amazon</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) into a trillion-dollar empire, he had a very specific approach to dating—one that involved a lot of blind dates. His top requirement? The woman had to be resourceful. Not just in the everyday sense, but in a "could-get-him-out-of-a-Third-World-prison" kind of way.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Blind Date Rule</h2>
In a <a href="https://www.wired.com/1999/03/bezos-3/">1999 interview with Wired</a>, Bezos admitted he let his friends set him up before he met MacKenzie Scott at D.E. Shaw, where he served as vice president. "The No. 1 criterion was that I wanted a woman who could get me out of a Third World prison," he said.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>The average 401(k) balance soars to a record-breaking high – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/average-401k-balances-soars-to-record-high">Here's how to know if your nest egg is keeping pace.</a></li>
</ul>
His reasoning? "I'm not the kind of person where women say, ‘Oh, look how great he is,' a half hour after meeting me. I'm kind of goofy," he said.
Bezos also said in the interview, "What I really wanted was someone resourceful. But nobody knows what you mean when you say, &#8216;I&#8217;m <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40208629/jeff-bezos-once-said-lifes-too-short-to-hang-out-with-people-who-arent-resourceful-who-are-the-peopl">looking for a resourceful woman</a>.&#8217;&nbsp;
Luckily for Bezos, he didn't need a blind date to meet MacKenzie—he just had to conduct a job interview. In 1993, she applied for a position at D.E. Shaw in New York, and Bezos was the first person to interview her. He hired her as a research associate, and her office ended up right next to his. Listening to his laugh all day, she quickly found herself drawn to him.
"My office was next door to his, and all day long I listened to that fabulous laugh," she <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/a-novel-perspective-mackenzie-bezos">told Vogue</a> in 2013. "How could you not fall in love with that laugh?"
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
The couple, who share four children —three sons and a daughter— married later that year, long before Bezos became one of the world's richest men. He joked in the same Vogue interview, "I think my wife is resourceful, smart, brainy, and hot, but I had the good fortune of having seen her résumé before I met her, so I knew exactly what her SATs were."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Prenup, No Problem—For MacKenzie</h2>
Despite amassing a fortune together, Jeff and MacKenzie never signed a prenup. That made their 2019 divorce one of the most expensive in history. The settlement left MacKenzie with 25% of their Amazon stock—about $36 billion at the time, according to media reports. Instead of hoarding her wealth, she started giving it away at an unprecedented pace.

MacKenzie Scott has since donated more than $19 billion to charities, funding social justice initiatives, education, and human services. Unlike traditional philanthropists, she doesn't micromanage how the money is spent. The typical grant size? $5 million—far beyond the usual $123,000 median seen in major philanthropic studies.
Her no-strings-attached generosity has upended conventional giving, proving that even in divorce, resourcefulness isn't just a trait Bezos admired—it's something Scott has mastered on a whole different level.

Jeff Bezos Let His Friends Set Him Up On Blind Dates—The Top Criterion? A Woman Resourceful Enough to Break Him Out Of A 'Third-World Prison'

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Warren Buffett&nbsp;has addressed concerns regarding the record cash pile of&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>). 
What Happened: In a <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf">letter</a> to shareholders on Saturday, Buffett reassured of his commitment to owning businesses, amidst the company&#8217;s cash reserves reaching an all-time high due to a lack of major acquisitions and a sell-off of stocks.
The 94-year-old investor&#8217;s&nbsp;decision to address the cash&nbsp;pile, which stood at $334.2 billion&nbsp;at the end of last&nbsp;year, comes amid record valuations that have made US stocks less appealing and made it difficult for Buffett to find major deals.
Buffett assured shareholders that&nbsp;a substantial majority of their&nbsp;money would be deployed in equities, primarily American, many of which have significant international operations. 
"Berkshire shareholders can rest assured that we will forever deploy a substantial majority of their money in equities — mostly American equities although many of these will have international operations of significance," Buffett said. 
This statement was released alongside Berkshire&#8217;s Q4 results, which showed a $9 billion increase in the cash pile as Buffett reduced stakes in stocks, including significant&nbsp;sales of shares in Citigroup&nbsp;and Bank of America.

Over the past year, the company&#8217;s cash pile has nearly doubled as it reinvested the proceeds from stock sales,&nbsp;including tens of billions of&nbsp;dollars&#8217;&nbsp;worth of shares in Apple, into Treasury bills.
"We were aided by a predictable large gain in investment income as Treasury Bill yields improved and we substantially increased our holdings of these highly liquid short-term securities," Buffett added in his letter.
"Paper money can see its value evaporate if fiscal folly prevails. In some countries, this reckless practice has become habitual, and, in our country's short history, the US has come close to the edge. Fixed-coupon bonds provide no protection against runaway currency," Buffet shared. 
Why It Matters: Buffett&#8217;s reassurance comes at a crucial time when the company&#8217;s cash reserves have reached an all-time high due to a lack of major acquisitions and a sell-off of stocks. 
The investor&#8217;s commitment to owning businesses and preference for &#8220;ownership of good businesses&#8221; over cash-equivalent assets is a strong message to shareholders about the company&#8217;s investment strategy.

Pony AI, Celsius And WeRide Are Among Top 9 Mid Cap Gainers Last Week (Feb 17-Feb 21): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

The rise of cryptocurrencies and the new administration&#8217;s friendliness <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43889897/bitcoin-strategic-reserve-with-1-million-btc-could-offset-21-trillion-national-debt">toward digital assets</a> have left advisors deeply conflicted about the asset class, a new survey by CoinShares reveals.
On the one hand, 62% of advisors say recommending Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies goes against their fiduciary duties, and half think doing so would make colleagues think less of them. 
On the other hand, 85% of advisors say their firm&#8217;s views on digital assets have changed since President Donald Trump won re-election, and 79% agree that, with more and more clients putting money into cryptocurrencies, the role of advisors is becoming to manage the risk that poses for clients.
Squaring this circle will require more information and education about digital assets. Over 80% of surveyed advisors were willing to spend money on cryptocurrency education but wanted that information to be independent. That excludes crypto exchanges, while many &#8220;crypto-native&#8221; educational resources are difficult to access for those unfamiliar with the space.
By the way, for independent news on all things cryptocurrency and digital assets, check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">Benzinga&#8217;s own crypto news right here</a>.

In addition to education, new regulations seem set to improve advisors&#8217; views on digital assets. In the CoinShares survey, 88% of advisors said the SEC&#8217;s recent approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs made them more positive about cryptocurrencies, and almost two-thirds said SEC approval was in the top three factors that most determined whether they felt it was appropriate to recommend cryptocurrency investments.
The new administration&#8217;s much more crypto-friendly stance suggests the SEC will be approving more digital asset funds, and faster, giving advisors a wider variety of options to choose from when building cryptocurrency portfolios for their clients.
Given these trends and the rising demand for cryptocurrencies—particularly among younger investors whom advisors must attract to grow their businesses—advisors can get ahead by exploring digital assets now. By understanding the strengths and risks of this expanding market, they can position themselves ahead of the competition.
To see how one prominent, crypto-focused advisor handles this, check out Benzinga&#8217;s interview series with him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/12/42470479/financial-advisor-calls-stocks-dinosaur-bones-but-likes-some-etfs">here</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/12/42517262/most-crypto-foward-ria-slams-bitcoin-forecasts-from-michael-saylor-others-dis">here</a>.

Michael Wolff&#8216;s new book promises to reveal previously undisclosed secrets about President Donald Trump, offering a fresh perspective on his life and political career.
What Happened: Wolff&#8217;s latest book uncovers 10 previously unknown facts about Trump. The book, All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, provides an in-depth look into Trump&#8217;s life, revealing aspects that were previously unknown to the public.
According to a report <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-10-trump-secrets-you-never-knew-from-michael-wolff-book/">by</a> The Daily Beast, Wolff details Trump's unconventional decision-making, campaign struggles, and even speculation about his health.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Wanted a Fox News Woman as VP — But Elon Musk Had Other Ideas</h3>
Wolff claims that Trump initially favored a female running mate in 2024, with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo and Fox News' Harris Faulkner among his top choices. However, Elon Musk reportedly told Trump that his backing was conditional on selecting then-Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Sweet Tooth and Alleged Ozempic Use</h3>
The book describes Trump indulging in candy as his "poison" of choice, filling up on Starbursts, Hershey's Miniatures, Laffy Taffy, and Tootsie Rolls. Meanwhile, insiders at Mar-a-Lago speculated he was using Ozempic or a similar weight-loss drug.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Melania's Whereabouts Remained a Mystery</h3>
Even Trump's campaign staff reportedly had no idea where Melania Trump was residing during the campaign. Wolff suggests their marriage was either uniquely successful or on the verge of collapse.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Mental State After Assassination Attempt</h3>
Following a failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, Wolff claims Trump appeared disoriented and struggled to complete sentences. He reportedly forgot names, took wrong turns, and exhibited fits of rage that seemed beyond his usual temperament.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fear of Dying on Epstein's Plane</h3>
While flying to Colorado on a backup aircraft after &#8220;Trump Force One&#8221; experienced issues, turbulence led Trump to panic, allegedly exclaiming, "I'm going to die on Jeffrey Epstein's plane!"
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43900927/mary-trump-slams-uncle-trump-and-his-corrupt-fascist-regime-are-aligned-with-the-agenda-of-vladimir-putin-and-moscow">Mary Trump Slams Uncle: &#8216;Trump and His Corrupt Fascist Regime Are Aligned With the Agenda of Vladimir Putin and Moscow&#8217;</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Golf Course Tweets and Protest Incitement</h3>
Wolff writes that aide Natalie Harp followed Trump around his Bedminster golf course with a portable printer to keep his social media activity flowing. He also alleges that Trump falsely claimed he would be arrested in the Stormy Daniels case to provoke protests.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Reaction to Elon Musk's Rally Behavior</h3>
During a campaign stop in Butler, Pennsylvania, Musk's erratic movements reportedly left Trump baffled. "What the f&#8212; is wrong with this guy? And why doesn't his shirt fit?" Trump allegedly said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Conspiracy Theories on Biden's Debate Performance</h3>
Wolff claims Trump believed Democrats set up President Joe Biden&#8216;s disastrous performance in their one 2024 debate, believing it to have been a scheme to push Biden out of the race.
Why It Matters: This book could potentially shed new light on Trump&#8217;s time in office and his personal life, which have been the subject of intense scrutiny and speculation. 
The undisclosed secrets could provide a fresh perspective on Trump&#8217;s presidency and his business dealings, potentially influencing public opinion and sparking further debates about his legacy.
Given Wolff&#8217;s reputation as a seasoned author, the book is expected to be a comprehensive and insightful account of Trump&#8217;s life and career. 
The revelations could also have implications for future political discourse and Trump&#8217;s potential future endeavors in politics and business.

New Michael Wolff Book Exposes Previously Undisclosed Trump Secrets

As of this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43644403/elon-musk-you-cant-stop-the-advent-of-electric-cars-says-ev-success-is-as-inevitable-as-cars-replacing-horses">Elon Musk</a>, CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and SpaceX, is still the world's richest person, with a net worth of around $393.2 billion, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk">according to Forbes</a>. While that's an enormous fortune, some experts don't believe Musk will be the first to reach trillionaire status.&nbsp;
"The world's first trillionaires are going to come from somebody who masters AI and all its derivatives and applies it in ways we never thought of," Mark Cuban <a href="https://youtu.be/ekYd-s-QL7o">said at SXSW</a> back in 2017.

<li>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></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Role of AI In Creating The First Trillionaire</h2>
Fast forward to today, and Cuban's prediction is looking more accurate than ever. AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it's part of everyday life, changing the way industries operate.&nbsp;
The AI sector is valued at $214.6 billion and is expected to soar to $1,339.1 billion by 2030, growing at a 35.7% annual rate, <a href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/PressReleases/artificial-intelligence.asp">according to MarketsAndMarket.com</a>.&nbsp; Nearly half (49%) of businesses already use AI in some form, and that number is only going to increase, <a href="https://www.pwc.com/us/en/tech-effect/ai-analytics/ai-predictions.html">PWC said recently</a>.&nbsp;
The potential for AI to create extreme wealth is becoming clearer. <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/generative-ai-could-raise-global-gdp-by-7-percent">Goldman Sachs has predicted reports</a> that AI could increase the global economy's GDP by 7%—or nearly $7 trillion—over the next decade. Given these numbers, Cuban's argument that AI mastery could create the first trillionaire makes a lot of sense.
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
Musk, for his part, is heavily invested in AI through Tesla's Full Self-Driving software, Neuralink, and xAI. But Cuban doesn't believe Musk—or even Amazon's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Jeff Bezos—will be the first to hit a trillion dollars. Instead, he thinks it will be someone who approaches AI from a completely different angle.
"It could be someone who studied philosophy to better understand and solve complicated problems within human nature," Cuban suggested.&nbsp;
Musk's road to trillionaire status also isn't as straightforward as it might seem. His fortune is tied closely to Tesla's stock, which has seen major swings, dropping 27% since its December peak. <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-10/musk-s-net-worth-falls-below-400-billion-for-first-time-in-2025">Bloomberg has reported </a>that this volatility makes it difficult for Musk to hold onto his top spot, let alone climb to $1 trillion.
Meanwhile, AI is accelerating at a breakneck pace. In 2024, venture capitalists poured over $50 billion into AI startups, CB Insights said last month.

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>
Industry giants like Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and OpenAI are leading the charge, making AI one of the most competitive and fast-moving sectors. <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/our-research/generative-ai-and-the-future-of-work-in-america">According to McKinsey</a>, AI-driven automation could replace up to 30% of today's job functions by 2030, shifting how industries operate and creating entirely new markets.
Cuban's advice? Keep learning. He believes that staying ahead of AI developments is the best way to remain competitive in the future job market.&nbsp;

Consumer Tech News (Feb 17-Feb 21): Mexico Warns Alphabet Over Naming of the "Gulf of Mexico" On Maps, Apple Launches iPhone 16E & More

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has taken over creative control of the James Bond franchise, with his streaming service now in charge of the legendary British spy series.
What Happened: Bezos took to social media to ask for public opinion on who should be the next James Bond. British actor Henry Cavill emerged as the clear favorite. Cavill, who has starred in &#8220;Mission: Impossible — Fallout,&#8221; &#8220;The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,&#8221; and &#8220;Argylle,&#8221; outperformed other candidates such as Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston, Theo James, and Michael Fassbender.
Support for Cavill came from various corners, including Dogecoin creator Billy Markus and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Bezos, however, has not yet responded to the suggestions.
Amazon&#8217;s purchase of MGM Studios for $8.5 billion allowed it to enter the Bond franchise, but until now, creative direction was still in the hands of the Broccoli family.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Who'd you pick as the next Bond? <a href="https://t.co/u7nBaRROlf">pic.twitter.com/u7nBaRROlf</a>
&mdash; Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffBezos/status/1892590064766484622?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 20, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
While Cavill&#8217;s casting is popular, there is concern among fans about how Amazon will handle the franchise. This is due to the company&#8217;s controversial handling&nbsp;of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth&nbsp;in The Rings of Power series.

The Bond franchise is known for its high-budget set pieces and cinematic universe, and fans worry that Amazon may water this down with its approach.
Why It Matters: This move by Bezos marks a significant shift in the control of the James Bond franchise. The acquisition of MGM Studios by Amazon was a clear indication of the company&#8217;s intent to delve deeper into the entertainment industry. 
However, the change in creative control from the Broccoli family to Bezos could potentially alter the direction of the franchise. The public&#8217;s choice of Cavill as the next James Bond also reflects a desire for continuity in the character&#8217;s portrayal. 
However, Amazon&#8217;s controversial handling of The Rings of Power series has raised concerns about the future of the Bond franchise. This development is a key moment in the evolution of the entertainment industry, as tech giants continue to expand their influence.

이스라엘과 레바논은 이스라엘과 헤즈볼라 간의 1년 넘는 폭력적 충돌을 종식시키기 위한 휴전 협정의 틀에 합의했다고 한 고위 미국 관리가 월요일 아침 악시오스(Axios)에 전했다.
이 협정은 화요일 이스라엘의 안전 보장 내각의 공식 승인을 기다리고 있지만, 글로벌 금융 시장은 이미 반응을 보이고 있다. 지정학적 위험이 줄어들면서 금과 유가가 급락하고, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/israel">투자자들의 낙관적 전망이 개선되고 있는 가운데</a> 위험 자산의 가치가 상승하고 있다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/israel"> </a>
다우존스 지수와 S&amp;P 500 지수는 월요일 뉴욕에서 시장이 개장한 직후 몇 분 만에 최고가를 경신했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">이스라엘-레바논 협정: 내용</h3>
휴전이 승인된다면, 3,500명 이상의 레바논인과 140명의 이스라엘인이 목숨을 잃고 국경 양쪽에서 수십만 명이 피란 생활을 하게 된 끔찍한 장이 끝나는 것을 의미한다.
이 제안된 협정에 따르면, 이스라엘은 남부 레바논에서 군 철수를 60일간 시작하고, 악시오스의 <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/11/25/israel-lebanon-near-hezbollah-ceasefire-deal">보도</a>에 따르면, 레바논 군은 국경 지역에 배치되며 헤즈볼라는 리타니 강 북쪽으로 중무기를 이전해야 한다.
협정 준수를 보장하기 위해, 미국 주도의 감독 위원회가 협정을 모니터링하고, 레바논군이 행동하지 않을 경우 미국이 이스라엘 군사 작전을 지원하겠다고 약속했다.
한 고위 미국 관리가 악시오스에 말했다: &#8220;우리는 협정이 되었다고 생각한다. 하지만 우리는 골라인에 있지만 아직 지나지 않았다.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">유가, 금 가격 급락</h3>
이 소식은 원자재 시장에 충격파를 보냈다.
더 넓은 지역 갈등의 위협이 줄어들면서, United States Oil Fund(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>)가 추적하는 서부 텍사스 중질유(WTI) 가격이 월요일에 배럴당 70달러로 1.5% 하락하며 금요일의 상승폭을 거의 완전히 반납했다.
SPDR 금 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>)가 추적하는 금 가격은 안전 자산에 대한 베팅이 축소되면서 온스당 2,640달러로 3% 이상 급락했다. 은 가격도 3% 하락하여 온스당 30.40달러로 거래되었다.
미국 달러도 약세를 보이며 주요 통화 바스켓 대비 0.7% 하락하여 위험 심리의 변화를 반영했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">주식 시장, 새로운 고점으로 상승</h3>
휴전 낙관론이 주식 시장으로 확산되었다. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500 지수 6,020포인트로 사상 최고치를 기록하며 이날 0.8% 상승했고, SPDR 다우존스 산업평균지수 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>)가 추적하는 다우존스 산업평균지수 1% 상승하여 44,738로 신고가를 기록했다.
모든 주요 S&amp;P 섹터가 상승했으며, 에너지 섹터를 제외한 모든 섹터가 상승했다. 더 넓은 지수는 여섯 번째 연속 상승세를 목표로 하고 있다.
VanEck 이스라엘 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRA#NYSE">ISRA</a>)가 추적하는 이스라엘 주식은 1.9% 상승하여 여섯 번째 연속 상승세를 보였다.

이스라엘·레바논, 휴전 협정 도달: 금 및 유가 하락, S&P 500과 다우존스가 최고치 경신

울프스피드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOLF#NYSE">WOLF</a>)의 주식은 회사의 3분기 재무 결과 발표 이후 수요일 애프터 세션에서 28% 이상 급락했다. 울프스피드는 비용 구조를 효율화하기 위한 이니셔티브를 발표했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WOLF">보고서 요약</a>은 다음과 같다.
<ul>
<li>1분기 매출: 1억 9,470만 달러, 예상 2억 3,900만 달러 대비 하회</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>1분기 조정 EPS: 91센트 손실, 예상 손실 1달러 대비 개선</li>
</ul>
&#8220;운영 효율성을 개선하고 시장 상황에 맞게 비즈니스를 조정하며, 최초의 실리콘 카바이드 회사로서 순수 200mm로 전환하기 위한 조치를 취하고 있다. 완전한 200mm 플랫폼으로의 전환은 우리의 비용 구조를 효율화하기 위한 추가 이니셔티브를 가능하게 하며, 여기에는 수동 더햄(Durham) 150mm 팹의 폐쇄, 기타 제조 발판 합리화, 그리고 인력 감축이 포함된다&#8221;고 울프스피드의 CEO인 그렉 로우(Gregg Lowe)가 말했다.
울프스피드는 분기를 약 17억 달러의 현금 및 투자 잔액으로 마감했다. 이 회사는 또한 미국 생산 능력 확장 계획을 지원하기 위해 최대 25억 달러의 추가 자금에 접근할 수 있다고 언급했다.
이 회사는 비용 절감 이니셔티브가 연간 약 2억 달러의 현금 절감 효과를 가져올 것으로 예상한다고 밝혔다.
주목해 볼 만한 소식: <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/earnings/%EC%95%B1%EB%9F%AC%EB%B9%88-3%EB%B6%84%EA%B8%B0-%EC%8B%A4%EC%A0%81-%EB%B0%9C%ED%91%9C-%ED%9B%84-30-%EA%B0%80%EA%B9%8C%EC%9D%B4-%EA%B8%89%EB%93%B1-%EB%A7%A4%EC%B6%9C-%EB%B0%8F-eps-%EC%98%88%EC%83%81/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">앱러 주식이 3분기 실적 보고서 발표 후 급등: 매출 및 EPS 예상치를 상회, 강력한 소프트웨어 플랫폼 성장</a>
2분기 가이던스: 울프스피드는 2분기 매출이 1억 6,000만 달러에서 2억 달러 사이가 될 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 이는 예상 2억 1,458만 달러보다 낮다. 이 회사는 2분기 주당 손실이 89센트에서 1.14달러로 예상하며, 예상 손실 90센트와 비슷하다.
&#8220;우리는 1분기 자동차 사업에서 전년 대비 2.5배 성장을 달성했으며, EV 매출이 2025년까지 계속 성장할 것으로 예상한다. 이는 울프스피드 실리콘 카바이드 솔루션을 사용하는 자동차 모델 수가 2023년에서 2024년 사이에 4배 증가하고, 2025년에는 다시 약 75% 증가할 것으로 예상되기 때문이다&#8221;고 로우가 말했다.
&#8220;우리는 또한 산업 및 에너지 사업의 장기적인 펀더멘털에 대한 확신을 유지하고 있다. 중요한 점은 핵심 최종 시장의 장기적인 추세와 장기적인 성장 동력이 그대로 유지된다고 믿고 있다. 그리고 오늘 우리가 취하고 있는 조치를 통해 우리는 앞으로의 장기적인 성장 기회를 포착할 수 있는 보다 효율적이고 민첩한 조직이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다."
WOLF 주가 변동: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/wolf">울프스피드의 주식</a>은 수요일 시간외 거래에서 28.15% 하락한 9.85달러에 마감되었다.
