PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) is seeing strong momentum with its "Buy Now, Pay Later" services, with significantly higher user engagement and larger transaction sizes, as it expands the offering globally.
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45067312/paypal-earnings-beat-but-slower-spending-and-checkout-use-weigh-on-results">first quarter earnings</a> on Tuesday, PayPal highlighted key developments in its Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) service, a short-term financing option that lets consumers defer payments on purchases, starting with a 0% APR, and no late fees.
BNPL users spend 33% more per transaction than PayPal's overall average of $69.53, the company said. They also complete 17% more transactions than the average of 59.4 per active account over the past 12 months.

Although PayPal launched its BNPL service in 2020, the company credits recent gains to its improved pay sheet that clearly showcases its full range of payment options. The service has also received greater visibility through marketing campaigns, including one featuring actor Will Ferrell.
Despite inherent credit risks tied to BNPL offerings, PayPal CFO Jamie Miller has said that charge-off rates remain stable and are improving. &#8220;In particular with respect to the consumer portfolios, we've actually seen delinquencies over the last 30 days improve,&#8221; Miller said on the earnings call.
The company&#8217;s CEO, Alex Chriss, considers BNPL a key growth lever going forward, with plans for an international rollout this year.
&#8220;We will continue to lean into BNPL throughout this year with targeted consumer awareness campaigns in the U.K. and Germany and continued investment in other priority global markets including Australia, France, Italy, and Spain,&#8221; Chriss said on the call.
Why It Matters: The BNPL market has surged in recent years, with the market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36697045/the-rise-of-buy-now-pay-later-in-2024">expected to touch</a> $1 trillion by 2027, led by PayPal, and its peers such as Affirm Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFRM#NASDAQ">AFRM</a>), Klarna, and AfterPay, which is now owned by Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>).
While analysts have cautioned against <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/02/43888952/americans-owe-a-record-1-21-trillion-in-credit-card-debt-expert-warns-theres-no-end-in-sight">rising BNPL debt</a> and overindulgence by consumers in the past, the company&#8217;s steady charge-off rates and low delinquencies have dismissed these concerns.
Price Action: PayPal stock was up 2.14% on Tuesday, but is down 0.26% after-hours, following the company&#8217;s first quarter earnings.

PayPal Says 'Buy Now, Pay Later' Users Spend 33% More, Make 17% More Transactions—Pushes For Global Rollout

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) develops and supports software, services, devices and solutions worldwide.
It is set to report its Q3 2025 earnings on April 30. Wall Street analysts expect the company to post EPS of $3.22, up from $2.94 in the prior-year period. According to Benzinga Pro, quarterly revenue is expected to reach $68.44 billion, up from $61.86 billion a year earlier.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Bought Microsoft Stock 10 Years Ago</h2>
The company's stock traded at approximately $48.03 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 208 shares. Currently, shares trade at $391.85, meaning your investment's value could have grown to $81,584 from stock price appreciation alone. However, Microsoft also paid dividends during these 10 years.&nbsp;
Microsoft's dividend yield is currently 0.86%. Over the last 10 years, it has paid about $22.73 in dividends per share, which means you could have made $4,733 from dividends alone.&nbsp;
Summing up $81,584 and $4,733, we end up with the final value of your investment, which is $86,317. This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in Microsoft stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 763.17%. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 total return for the same period was 213.60%.
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>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Could The Next 10 Years Bring?&nbsp;</h2>
Microsoft has a consensus rating of "Buy" and a price target of $494.57 based on the ratings of 33 analysts. The price target implies more than 26% potential upside from the current stock price.
On Jan. 29, the company announced its Q2 2025 earnings, posting GAAP EPS of $3.23, beating the $3.11 consensus estimate, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43320124/microsoft-shares-slide-after-q2-results-cloud-revenue-misses-expectations-details">Benzinga</a>. Quarterly revenue came in at $69.6 billion, above the $68.78 billion analyst consensus estimate.
&#8220;We are innovating across our tech stack and helping customers unlock the full ROI of AI to capture the massive opportunity ahead," said CEO Satya Nadella. &#8220;Already, our AI business has surpassed an annual revenue run rate of $13 billion, up 175% year-over-year.&#8221;

Given the historical stock price appreciation and expected upside potential, growth-focused investors may find Microsoft stock attractive. Furthermore, they can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 0.86% and consistent hikes. Microsoft has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 19 years.

Cathie Wood Bets Against Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Ahead Of Crucial Earnings Report, Loads Up On This Amazon Rival

On his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/04/45069781/trumps-first-100-days-what-he-delivered-where-he-fell-short-how-markets-reacted">100th day in office</a> during his second term, President Donald Trump returned to a familiar setting — a rally stage in Michigan — to energize supporters, defend his policies, and lash out at critics as Democrats prepared a coordinated protest in the Senate.
What Happened: On Tuesday, before a crowd in the battleground state he flipped in 2024, Trump touted his administration's economic record, declaring, "We've already ended inflation," and vowed further spending cuts to boost growth, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/04/29/trump-presidency-news-100-days/">reported</a> The Washington Post.
"We will cut more than $1 trillion in wasteful and unnecessary spending," he stated, adding, "We will end inflation, slash prices — we've already ended inflation — raise wages and give you the greatest economy in the history of the world."
In a speech that echoed his campaign rallies, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42980742/trump-off-hook-in-2020-election-case-special-counsel-smith-says-evidence-was-sufficient-to-obtain-and-sustain-a-conviction">repeated false claims</a> about the 2020 election and accused Democrats of trying to influence the 2024 outcome. "That's their single greatest trait," Trump said, the report noted.

The president also defended his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44891977/pete-hegseth-shared-yemen-strike-details-in-another-signal-group-chat-this-time-with-his-wife-brother-and-personal-lawyer-report">embattled defense secretary</a>, Pete Hegseth, calling him a "tough cookie."

"We will always protect Medicare and Social Security for our great seniors with no cuts, and we will defend Medicaid for those great people that are in need,"
Trump said, despite criticism from Democrats and analysts who argue his budget plan would force cuts.
The President also saved some of his sharpest criticism for Democratic figures, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/23/09/34249216/trump-goes-all-in-on-his-nickname-for-biden-sleepy-joe-becomes-crooked-joe-says-indicted-former-">mocked former President</a> Joe Biden, polling the crowd on whether to call him "Sleepy Joe" or "Crooked Joe," the report said.
Meanwhile, Democratic senators intend to spend hours on the Senate floor Tuesday evening criticizing Trump's first 100 days in office, the report added.
Why It's Important: Trump has completed 100 days of his second term, with mixed progress on key 2024 campaign promises.
He's largely delivered on immigration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45032435/trump-tariffs-prompt-suspension-of-chinese-factory-operations-and-shift-to-new-markets">and tariffs</a>, imposing a 10% import tax and targeting trade imbalances. Gas prices are down, but grocery costs have risen due to tariffs.
His vow to end the Ukraine war <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888482/trump-set-ultimatum-for-russia-ukraine-peace-talks-not-going-to-continue-with-this-endeavour-for-weeks-and-months-says-secretary-of-state-marco-rubio">remains unmet</a>, though diplomatic efforts are underway.
Trump also signed an executive order banning transgender athletes from women's sports and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43088148/trump-pardons-1500-jan-6-defendants-including-key-proud-boys-figures-after-bidens-final-hour-clemency">pardoned over 1,500 people</a>, including Jan. 6 defendants.
Economic pledges like tax cuts on tips and overtime remain unfulfilled. The Associated Press rates four promises as kept, 15 in progress, and five as "complicated."

Trump Says He's 'Already Ended Inflation' At Michigan Rally Held To Mark 100 Days In Office, Promises To Protect Medicare And Social Security — Democrats Plan Senate Barrage

Former Vice President Mike Pence published a pointed op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, grading President Donald Trump's first 100 days of his second term and warning against a departure from the conservative principles that defined their previous administration. 
What Happened: Pence credited Trump with a "political comeback unrivaled in modern American history," highlighting early wins such as cutting illegal immigration by over 90% at the southern border and restoring American strength abroad, particularly in the Middle East. However, Pence cautioned in the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/what-the-47th-president-can-learn-from-the-45th-trump-second-term-policy-ea1bf83e">op-ed</a> that these "hard-won and overdue" gains could be lost if the administration strays from its original playbook.
The former Vice President praised Trump's decisive actions, stating, "No new laws. Just a president with the backbone to do his job and keep America safe." He also lauded the administration's military investments and tough stance on universities tolerating antisemitism. Yet, Pence sounded alarms over what he called "troubling signs of retreat," especially regarding wavering support for Ukraine and renewed negotiations with Iran, warning, "Only renewed American military support for our close partner provides any hope for a just and lasting peace."
On the economic front, Pence criticized Trump's sweeping tariffs as "the largest peacetime tax hike in American history," arguing they threaten to derail economic recovery: "Since the president announced his ‘Liberation Day' tariffs, the only thing America has been liberated from is trillions of dollars in investments." He called for the extension of all Trump-Pence tax cuts, warning that failure to do so "would amount to the largest middle-class tax hike in modern history, costing millions of American jobs."
Pence summed up his message with a stark reminder: "A strong first 100 days is a foundation. But only a return to the conservative principles that guided our administration and achieved peace and prosperity during the president's first term will ensure that this administration builds something lasting-for the president's legacy, and for America's future."

Why It Matters: In a recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45047432/trump-says-i-run-the-country-and-the-world-yet-polls-plummet">interview with The Atlantic</a>, Trump claimed, &#8220;I run the country and the world,&#8221; yet his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45047432/trump-says-i-run-the-country-and-the-world-yet-polls-plummet">approval ratings have seen a decline</a>. The first 100 days of his second term have been marked by both achievements and controversies, impacting his public perception.
Pence has previously criticized Trump&#8217;s tariff policies, calling them a &#8220;misstep&#8221; that could harm working families economically. Pence warned that these tariffs, particularly the 125% on China, could become a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44728777/pence-calls-trumps-tariff-moves-misstep-cites-potential-economic-harm-to-working-families">major political issue for Republicans</a> in the upcoming midterm elections. He noted that the tariffs could be seen as &#8220;the largest peacetime tax hike in American history&#8221; if not adjusted.
In terms of market performance, Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/04/45069781/trumps-first-100-days-what-he-delivered-where-he-fell-short-how-markets-reacted">first 100 days</a> have had mixed reactions from the stock market. While some sectors have benefited from his policies, others have faced challenges due to the economic uncertainties brought by the tariffs and international tensions.

Mike Pence Says Trump Comeback 'Unrivaled' In Modern American History But Only Return To Values Of First Term Will Ensure President's Legacy

Kevin O&#8217;Leary is being brutally honest when it comes to China and its impact on American businesses. The &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; investor and chair of O&#8217;Leary Ventures recently spoke out on social media and MSNBC, slamming China&#8217;s track record since joining the World Trade Organization in 2000.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;They Never, Ever Complied&#8221;</h2>
According to O&#8217;Leary, the original plan to bring China into the WTO was based on the hope that exposure to democracy and fair trade practices would influence the country.&nbsp;
&#8220;I think it was Clinton&#8217;s administration, 2000, when he said, look, the way to win over China is to give them a taste of democracy on a worldwide basis,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said in a video <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1915529242860830727">posted</a> on social media. &#8220;Let&#8217;s invite them into the World Trade Organization if they&#8217;re willing to abide by the covenants of all the other nations.&#8221;

<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.</li>
</ul>
But O&#8217;Leary said China never followed through. &#8220;They never, ever complied to a single covenant. Not the first week, not the 20th year,&#8221; he said. Grievances have piled up within the WTO and have never been resolved, he added.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Knockoffs Flood the Market</h2>
O&#8217;Leary shared a real-world example to show how U.S. businesses suffer. He pointed to a simple, patented product called &#8220;DrainWig.&#8221; As soon as it approached $5 million in sales, &#8220;boom,&#8221; knockoffs appeared everywhere, he said. &#8220;They didn&#8217;t have to spend any money in R&amp;D or any legal fees for patenting it,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary explained.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion they don&#8217;t even care,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And the reason they don&#8217;t care is there&#8217;s never any consequence.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Backing Trump&#8217;s Trade Policies</h2>
During his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztWvIPUxT0s">MSNBC</a> appearance, O&#8217;Leary stood firmly behind Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff strategies, arguing that they&#8217;re long overdue. While critics like economist Paul Krugman and investor Bill Ackman have called the trade war risky, O&#8217;Leary said it&#8217;s the only way to get China to take the U.S. seriously.
&#8220;This is a game of chicken right now,&#8221; he said, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44902888/kevin-oleary-says-chinas-actions-have-wiped-out-millions-of-american-companies-i-dont-know-why-anyone-is-okay-with-it">higher tariffs are necessary</a> to bring China to the negotiating table.
O&#8217;Leary emphasized that he supports policy, not politicians. &#8220;There are millions of American companies wiped out by what China does,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know why you&#8217;re okay with it. You shouldn&#8217;t be.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Businesses Hit the Hardest</h2>
O&#8217;Leary pointed out that small businesses are the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40284639/kevin-oleary-declares-i-am-not-ashamed-of-capitalism-agrees-theres-anti-elitism-and-applauds-musk-on">backbone of the U.S. economy</a>, creating 62% of American jobs. &#8220;I&#8217;m just speaking on behalf of every small entrepreneur in America, and I think I have my army behind me,&#8221; he said.
Despite his frustrations, O&#8217;Leary said he remains open to doing business with China, but only if fair play is enforced. &#8220;We want to form some kind of a union that&#8217;s not so antagonistic. But you can&#8217;t cheat, you can&#8217;t steal,&#8221; he said.
Looking ahead, O&#8217;Leary is hopeful that new trade policies will start showing results soon. &#8220;Give it a few weeks,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think we&#8217;re going to get something worked out here. Xi is also in a bad place.&#8221;

'Boom—Knockoffs Flood The Market,' Says Kevin O'Leary About Inviting China Into The WTO Thinking They'd Play Fair—'They Never Did'

Elon Musk last month appeared on the <a href="https://youtu.be/BDREZmpkIz8?si=OrWW63POKaHORcJN">"Verdict with Ted Cruz" podcast</a>, where the Texas senator threw him a rare question: Who's the smartest guy you've ever met?
Musk didn't hesitate. He named two heavyweights — Larry Ellison and Larry Page — both billionaires, both tech legends, and at one point, both close friends of Musk.
"Larry Ellison's very smart," Musk said. "I will say Larry Ellison is one of the smartest people."
He added, "You know, Larry Page… there are a lot of people that are very smart."

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
He didn't stop there. Musk also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/04/44992374/elon-musk-is-122-billion-poorer-in-2025-and-still-richer-than-bezos-huang-cuban-combined">tipped his hat to Jeff Bezos</a>, acknowledging that Bezos had accomplished "a lot of difficult and significant things" — even if their rivalry over space has stretched on for more than two decades.
But when it came to Ellison and Page, Musk had more personal history.
Ellison wasn't just impressed by Musk from afar. In 2018, when Tesla was battling lawsuits and controversy over Musk's "funding secured" tweet about taking the company private, Ellison stepped in. He bought a $1 billion stake in Tesla, joined the company's board, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41185303/elon-musk-says-larry-ellison-is-awesome-after-oracle-ctos-old-video-praising-tesla-ceo-resurfaces">publicly backed Musk</a>, calling Tesla an "amazing company" and describing Musk as a "very close friend."

At a time when investors were running for cover, Ellison was standing next to him.
Page's relationship with Musk ran even deeper — and ultimately more complicated.
Musk and Page once shared an easy friendship, spending long nights talking about humanity's future, space colonization, and artificial intelligence. Musk said he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37923084/elon-musk-used-to-email-ex-google-ceo-larry-page-when-he-was-kind-of-homeless-and-ask-can-i-come">would even stay at Page's house</a> while visiting Silicon Valley.
But the friendship cracked. Musk believed AI development needed strict oversight; Page, according to Musk, was "cavalier" about the risks. The philosophical divide led Musk to help launch OpenAI as a nonprofit competitor to Google's DeepMind, and the two friends drifted apart.

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>
Still, before things soured, Page made it clear just how much faith he had in Musk.
In a 2014 <a href="https://blog.ted.com/computing-is-still-too-clunky-charlie-rose-and-larry-page-in-conversation/">TED interview with Charlie Rose</a>, Page said: "If I were to get hit by a bus today, I should leave all of it to Elon Musk."
Page argued that Musk's mission to "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42154628/larry-page-google-co-founder-said-hed-leave-his-fortune-to-elon-musk-over-charity-because-of-his-plans-to-go-to-mars-to-back-up-humanity">back up humanity" by building a future on Mars</a> was a better bet than funneling billions into traditional charities.
Musk's answer wasn't about old alliances or loyalty. It showed that even after friendships cracked, companies competed, and philosophies clashed, he could still recognize brilliance when he saw it — and wasn't afraid to applaud it, even from a distance.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In IDEXX Laboratories 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) is riding high — and so are its richest customers.
While warnings of a tariff-fueled recession swirl and some Americans are pulling back on spending, AmEx says its most affluent cardholders are still dropping cash on the finer things — especially dining out, which CFO Christophe Le Caillec last week called "the ultimate discretionary expense."

<li>How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.</li>
</ul>
In Q1, billed business on AmEx cards jumped 7.5% year over year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44862333/american-express-q1-card-spending-strong-ceo-maintains-annual-outlook-contingent-on-economic-climate">helping push revenue to $17 billion, an 8% increase</a>. That's better than Wall Street expected — and according to CEO Stephen Squeri, it's largely thanks to confident spending from the top tier.
Restaurant and hotel spending stayed strong, while airline spending cooled slightly. But it's not just older cardholders footing the bill anymore. The real surge came from younger Americans: 60% of AmEx's 3.4 million new cardholders last quarter were Gen Z and millennials. Those groups also spent 14% more compared to last year — compared to just a 1% increase from boomers.
AmEx is leaning into that shift. Squeri said younger customers are flocking to the card for its lifestyle perks, like restaurant credits and access to premium dining through acquisitions like Resy and Tock. He even dubbed the revamped Gold Card "the Restaurant Card."

And despite rising economic uncertainty, AmEx isn't pulling back. Squeri said the company sees no reason to yank its full-year forecast of 8–10% revenue growth. "It's probably easy to pull guidance," <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/american-express-ceo-aprils-stock-market-volatility-hasnt-sent-customers-into-their-bunkers-122606716.html">he told Yahoo Finance</a>, "but what are you going to pull if you know you're still within your guidance range?"
"There's a lot of stability and strength, despite the news and the environment," <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/17/american-express-cardholders-still-spending-despite-trump-tariffs.html">Le Caillec explained to CNBC.</a>
That confidence sets AmEx apart from other companies, including JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and major retailers, that are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44717888/jpmorgan-jamie-dimon-warns-recession-now-likely-outcome">warning of a slowdown</a> and ditching forecasts due to tariff chaos and market whiplash. Meanwhile, Le Caillec said that while some small businesses may be stockpiling inventory ahead of potential price hikes, AmEx's core spending levels don't appear artificially inflated.

The rich are still swiping, but what about everyone else?&nbsp;
Beyond the platinum perks and premium cardholders, the broader economy is flashing warning signs. U.S. small business confidence dropped sharply in March, with only 21% of owners expecting better conditions ahead—the lowest since October 2024, according to the <a href="https://www.nfib.com/news/analysis/small-business-optimism-slips-in-march-research/">National Federation of Independent Business</a>.&nbsp;
Sales expectations also fell to their lowest point since before the 2024 election. Meanwhile, consumers across income levels are tightening their belts. A <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/consumer-packaged-goods/our-insights/the-state-of-the-us-consumer">McKinsey survey</a> found that 75% of Americans reported trading down in categories like groceries and apparel, and many are delaying non-essential purchases amid inflation concerns.&nbsp;

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

In a country wrestling with rising crime rates, viral videos of smash-and-grab robberies, and heated debates about bail reform, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44940401/elon-musk-says-hell-only-spend-day-or-two-per-week-on-government-matters-to-ensure-fraud-does-not-come-roaring-back-ceos-focus-to-shift-to-tesla-beginning-may">Elon Musk</a> says the conversation has gone dangerously off track.
A few months ago, Musk sat down with Tucker Carlson earlier this year to talk about what he sees as one of America's growing blind spots: misplaced empathy.
"What I see is what I call shallow empathy," Musk said. "People have empathy for the criminals but not empathy for the victims of the criminals."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Musk wasn't talking about hypothetical issues. He pointed to a hard reality: a small slice of society — "a few percent," as he put it — struggle with severe anger problems or "enjoy hurting other people." Without serious consequences, he warned, they don't just stop.
"If you do not incarcerate them," Musk said, "they will hurt other people."
Rather than asking what makes politicians or activists feel good about themselves, Musk argued society needs a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/44973207/elon-musks-critics-on-x-see-sudden-drop-in-visibility-raising-questions-about-platforms-free-speech-commitments">harder conversation about the greater good</a>. "I believe one should have deep empathy and ask, what is the greater good for society?" he said. "Is it better to incarcerate violent criminals and prevent them from hurting people, or to let them loose and allow those people to be hurt? I think the latter is much worse."
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>
Musk's frustration taps into a <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/06/us-news/progressive-los-angeles-da-george-gascon-voted-out/">broader national debate</a>. In cities like Los Angeles, efforts to soften criminal sentencing have triggered public backlash. District Attorney George Gascón, criticized for scaling back prosecutions and sentencing enhancements, faced a tough reelection fight against Nathan Hochman, who promised to bring back stricter penalties in the name of protecting victims.&nbsp;
Carlson agreed with Musk, pointing out that modern thinking seems more concerned with showing compassion toward criminals than with protecting victims.
But Musk wasn't finished. He tied the same kind of shallow decision-making to a wider frustration: the suffocation of innovation in America.
Citing endless regulations, ballooning bureaucracy, and the rise of consultants who profit without building anything, Musk compared the situation to an "Atlas Shrugged" scenario, where true creators are buried under a mountain of red tape.
"I build cars, I build rockets, I build satellite internet," Musk said. "I can't put myself in the mindset of someone who wants to do crime. I don't want to hurt people."

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>
Musk blamed part of the problem on people growing up in "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44598039/elon-musk-says-were-living-in-the-best-time-and-if-you-disagree-you-probably-should-read-a-history-book-when-else-would-you-want-to-be-alive">safe, sheltered environments</a>," unable to grasp the harsh realities of violence because they've never seen it up close. Well-meaning but naive, they design policies with good intentions — but innocent people pay the price.
His message cuts deeper than crime statistics: in a society built on shallow empathy, the real victims aren't just forgotten — they're sacrificed.

A space flight that included Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sánchez generated plenty of headlines about their short 11-minute flight and the point of the mission, while it made history for having<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/44019974/katy-perry-gayle-king-lauren-sanchez-headline-next-blue-origin-space-flight-how-jeff-bezos-fiancee-crew-will-make-history"> all women aboard.</a>
The company behind the space flight is now taking reservations and deposits for the "new generation of astronauts."
What Happened: Perry, Sánchez and several other women were the latest to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44786258/katy-perry-lauren-sanchez-among-blue-origins-all-women-ns-31-crew-set-to-take-flight-in-west-texas"> take a trip to space</a> aboard the Blue Origin New Shepard, a space flight company founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
A <a href="https://x.com/blueorigin/status/1916928601485701442">tweet </a>on X is encouraging those interested in seeing Earth "like never before" to book their trip to space on the New Shepard.
"Return to Earth, Forever Changed," the Blue Origin <a href="https://www.blueorigin.com/new-shepard/fly?utm_campaign=NS_sales_fly_social_campaign&amp;utm_source=partner&amp;utm_medium=social+&amp;utm_content=social_ad">website </a>says.
While in the New Shepard, astronauts soar above the Kármán Line and fly at more than three times the speed of sound. The passing of the Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space 62 miles (100 km) above Earth, is unique as rival space flight company Virgin Galactic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPCE#NYSE">SPCE</a>) does not take its astronauts to this line.
Blue Origin completed its first human flights in 2021 and has now completed 11 human space flights, including the latest all-women venture.
Among the bigger names to fly to space with Blue Origin along with pop singer Perry include Bezos himself, William Shatner, Michael Strahan and Dude Perfect's Coby Cotton.
You may not be a billionaire like Jeff Bezos, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/04/45029510/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-62">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Blue Origin reservations are open to anyone 18 years or older by filling out some information, including a description of yourself in less than 500 characters.
The one missing detail in the reservation is the total price involved for an unforgettable "Window seat" to space. The reservation form says a $150,000 fully, refundable deposit is collected by Blue Origin after booking a reservation.
This means the space flight with Blue Origin is more than $150,000. Virgin Galactic, which is currently in a pause of taking humans to space, has charged between $200,000 to $450,000 per person for past space flights.
Virgin Galactic is expected to begin taking people to space again in 2026 as long as it passes required tests and its plan stays on track. Previous<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/21945008/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-books-a-flight-with-richard-bransons-virgin-galactic"> reservation holders for flights </a>with Virgin Galactic included Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Bieber and Elon Musk. 
Virgin Galactic stock is down 51% year-to-date in 2025 and has fallen over 80% in the last year. Blue Origin remains privately held with Bezos as the owner.
While some people and the Wendy's social media account <a href="https://www.today.com/food/trends/wendys-disses-katy-perry-blue-origin-space-flight-rcna201385">criticized </a>the short flight taken by Perry and the other women, many people would probably welcome the chance to experience space, even if for a short while, if it were more affordable.
Of course, those who read Shatner's book that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/10/29207326/my-trip-to-space-was-supposed-to-be-a-celebration-instead-it-felt-like-a-funeral-william-sh"> included his details</a> on his trip to space might want to skip the trip.
"When I looked in the opposite direction, into space, there was no mystery, no majestic awe to behold, all I saw was death," Shatner said in his book.
Shatner recalled what he saw as a "cold, dark, black emptiness" unlike any blackness you can see on Earth.
Shatner called the trip and views of space "the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered."
"My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral."

홈서비스 오브 아메리카는 워런 버핏의 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK.A">BRK.A</a>)(NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK.B">BRK.B</a>)가 소유하고 있다. 2024년 기준 약 820개의 중개 사무소와 270개의 프랜차이즈를 보유하고 있었다.

2025년은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate">미국 주택 시장</a>에 혁신적인 해가 될 것으로 예상되며, 새로운 기회를 제공하는 동시에 모든 이들을 긴장하게 만들 것이다.
질로우 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZG#NASDAQ">ZG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/Z#NASDAQ">Z</a>)의 최신 <a href="https://www.zillow.com/research/2025-housing-predictions-34620/">예측</a>에 따르면, 구매자, 판매자 및 임차자에게 변화하는 역학관계를 보여준다. Vanguard Real Estate ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>), Schwab US REIT ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHH#NYSE">SCHH</a>) 및 Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>)에 투자하는 이들은 이러한 역학관계를 면밀히 추적해야 한다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/short-ideas/24/12/42265808/top-3-real-estate-stocks-that-may-plunge-this-quarter">이번 분기에 급락할 수 있는 상위 3개 부동산 주식</a>
주목해야 할 다섯 가지 트렌드는 다음과 같다:
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. 완만한 시장 속에서 구매자들의 숨통이 트이다</h2>
구매자들에게 반가운 소식이다: 더 많은 매물이 시장에 나올 예정이어서 선택할 시간을 갖고 협상력을 높일 수 있다. 질로우는 주택 가치가 2.6% 완만하게 성장하고 기존 주택 판매가 430만 채로 증가할 것으로 예상하여, 수년간 긴축되어 있던 시장이 점차 풀릴 신호를 보인다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. 주택담보대출 금리의 변동성</h2>
주택담보대출(모기지) 금리는 여전히 변동성이 클 것이다. 질로우는 금리가 전반적으로 완화될 것으로 예상하지만, 그 변동성은 경험이 많은 구매자도 불안하게 만들 수 있다. 금리가 하락할 때 재융자 붐이 발생하고, 연중 내내 주택 구매력의 기복이 있을 것으로 예상된다.
iShares MBS ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBB#NYSE">MBB</a>)와 Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMBS#NYSE">VMBS</a>)에 투자하는 이들은 높은 불확실성에 직면할 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. 구매자 시장의 서부로 확산</h2>
현재는 동남부에 집중된 구매자 시장이 서남부로 확산될 것으로 예상되어, 구매자에게 협상에서 더 많은 힘을 줄 것이다.
하지만 주택담보대출 금리가 크게 하락하면서 경쟁이 치열해지기 때문에 판매자가 우위를 되찾을 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. 더 작고 스마트한 주택의 증가</h2>
대형 맨션은 잊으세요. 작고 목적이 있는 주택이 주목받고 있다. &#8220;아늑한&#8221; 특징을 가진 주택 매물의 수는 35% 증가하여, 지속 가능하고 저렴한 생활로의 문화적 전환을 반영하고 있다. 질로우에 따르면, 도시 내 아파트도 가치가 안정화되고 있어 도시 생활로 돌아오는 구매자를 끌어들이고 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. 임차인의 혜택은 한정적</h2>
다세대 주택 건설의 급증으로 2024년은 임차인에게 우호적인 해로, 무료 임대료와 주차 공간과 같은 혜택이 풍부하다. 하지만 질로우는 이러한 혜택이 2025년 말까지 줄어들 것으로 예측하고 있으며, 임대 시장이 긴축될 것으로 보인다. 반려동물을 가진 임차인은 여전히 강력한 세력으로 남아, 주택 관리자가 더 많은 반려동물 친화적인 정책을 채택하도록 하거나 세입자를 잃게 될 위험에 처할 것이다.
2025년 주택 시장은 더 활성화되고 구매자에게 우호적으로 변화할 것으로 보이지만, 예측 불가능성이 크게 작용할 것이다. 주택담보대출 금리의 변동부터 변화하는 구매자 트렌드까지, 이 진화하는 시장에서 최대한의 효과를 얻으려면 민첩하고 정보에 밝게 대응하는 것이 중요하다.

2025년을 위한 주택 시장 5가지 트렌드: 질로우의 예측이 당신에게 미치는 영향

질로우 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/Z#NASDAQ">Z</a>)의 주식이 상승하고 있다. 이 회사가 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EC%A7%88%EB%A1%9C%EC%9A%B0-%EA%B7%B8%EB%A3%B9-3%EB%B6%84%EA%B8%B0-%ED%98%B8%EC%8B%A4%EC%A0%81%EC%9C%BC%EB%A1%9C-%EC%8B%9C%EA%B0%84%EC%99%B8%EA%B1%B0%EB%9E%98%EC%84%9C-14-%EC%83%81%EC%8A%B9/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">실적을 발표한 후 투자자들이 긍정적으로 반응</a>했다. 예상된 주당순이익(EPS)은 29센트였으나 실제로는 35센트로 나타났다. 매출은 5억 8,100만 달러로 예상 5억 5,500만 달러를 초과했다.
우리 기술 분석 팀은 질로우를 &#8220;<a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/?s=%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98%EC%9D%98+%EC%A3%BC%EC%8B%9D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">오늘의 주식</a>&#8220;으로 선정했다. 이는 시장에서 재능 있는 트레이더들이 이익을 얻기 위해 사용하는 일반적인 동태를 보여준다.
이 차트를 보면, 2월과 3월 초에 주가가 58.50달러에서 저항선을 만났다. 9월에 이 저항선이 깨졌고, 주가가 결국 58.50달러로 다시 떨어졌을 때는 이전의 저항선이 지지선으로 변했다.
같은 일이 53.70달러 수준에서도 발생했다. 7월에 저항선이었으나 9월 초에 지지선으로 변했다.
9월 말에는 68.40달러가 저항선이었고, 이제는 지지선이 되었다.
<img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07135700/Zillow.Noc_.2024-1024x524.png?optimize=medium&amp;dpr=1.25&amp;auto=webp&amp;width=2048" />
저항선이 지지선으로 변하는 것은 주식 시장 뿐만 아니라 모든 금융 시장에서 흔히 발생하는 일이다.
이는 &#8220;판매자의 후회&#8221; 때문이다.
저항선에서 주식을 판매한 투자자들은 가격이 하락하면 좋은 결정을 내렸다고 생각하지만, 가격이 반전되어 저항선이 깨지고 상승하면 판매 결정을 후회하게 된다.
이런 후회하는 판매자 중 일부는 주식을 다시 사겠다고 다짐한다. 그러나 그들은 판매 가격과 동일한 가격에 주식을 사야 한다고 생각한다. 그래서 주가가 결국 판매 가격으로 떨어지면 매수 주문을 넣는다.
이러한 주문이 충분히 많으면 이전의 저항선에서 지지선이 형성된다.
주식이 하락세를 보이고 트레이더가 매수 시점을 찾고 있다면, 이전의 저항선 가격대를 살펴보아야 한다. 그 가격대에서 지지선을 찾을 가능성이 높다. 가격이 반전되어 상승할 수도 있다.
주가 움직임: 질로우의 클래스 C 주식은 미 동부 시간 오후 3시 9분에 25.76% 상승한 73.80달러에 거래되었다. 이 회사의 클래스 A 주식은 26.81% 상승한 71.12달러를 기록했다.

제레미 왁스먼(Jeremy Wacksman) 질로우 그룹 CEO는 &#8220;우리는 소비자가 요구하고 가치 있는 통합 거래 경험을 구축하기 위해 기술 솔루션에 지속적으로 투자하고 있다&#8221;며 &#8220;이러한 투자는 구매 의향이 높은 이사 수요자와 성과가 우수한 에이전트를 연결하여 서비스 채택을 촉진하고 매출 증대에 기여하고 있다&#8221;고 말했다.
질로우의 모바일 앱과 사이트의 월평균 활성 사용자 수는 2억 3,300만 명으로 전년 동기 대비 1% 증가했다. 이 기간 동안의 방문 수는 전년 동기 대비 3% 증가한 24억 건이었다.
또한 3분기에 22억 달러의 현금과 투자금을 보유하고 있으며, 이는 2분기 말의 26억 달러에서 감소한 수치라고 밝혔다.
질로우는 주주들에게 보낸 서한에서 &#8220;앞으로 우리는 고객과 주주를 대신하여 계속해서 서비스를 제공하면서, 현재 우리 퍼널에 이미 있는 300억 달러 규모의 주거용 부동산 시장에서 더 의미 있는 점유율을 확보하는 데 주력할 것&#8221;이라고 전했다.

질로우 그룹, 3분기 호실적으로 시간외 거래에서 14% 상승

질로우 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/Z#NASDAQ">Z</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZG#NASDAQ">ZG</a>)는 수요일 시장 마감 후 2분기 재무 결과를 발표한 후 주가가 12% 이상 급등했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/n40232423/zillow-group-reports-second-quarter-2024-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">보고서 요약</a>은 다음과 같다.
<ul>
<li>Q2 매출: 5억 7,200만 달러, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">5억 3,758만 달러</a>의 예상치를 상회</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q2 EPS: 39센트, 27센트의 예상치를 상회</li>
</ul>
2분기 총매출은 전년 동기 대비 13% 증가했다. 주거용 매출은 전년 대비 8% 증가한 4억 900만 달러를 기록했다. 임대 매출은 전년 대비 29% 증가한 1억 1,700만 달러를 기록했다. 모기지/주택담보 대출 매출은 전년 대비 42% 증가한 3,400만 달러를 기록했다.

질로우는 또한 COO인 제레미 박스만(Jeremy Wacksman)을 CEO로 승진시켰다고 발표했다. 박스만은 공동 창업자인 리치 바턴(Rich Barton)을 대신하여 질로우 이사회에 남아 공동 창업자이자 현 회장인 로이드 프링크(Lloyd Frink)와 함께 공동 회장을 맡게 된다.
"질로우는 8분기 연속으로 주거용 부동산 업계를 능가하며 비즈니스 전반에 걸쳐 예상보다 나은 매출을 창출했다. 우리는 부동산의 디지털 미래를 구축하면서 질로우의 주택 슈퍼 앱에서 뛰어난 제품과 서비스를 지속적으로 제공하면서 잘 실행하고 있다"고 박스만이 말했다.
&#8220;점점 더 다각화되고 성장하는 비즈니스와 함께 우리는 시간이 지남에 따라 강력한 GAAP 수익성을 제공하고 두 자릿수 매출 성장을 달성하고 조정 EBITDA 마진을 소폭 확대하려는 2024년 기대치를 충족하기 위해 노력하고 있다.&#8221;
이벤트: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40234938/hubspot-shares-climb-on-strong-q2-results-forward-guidance">강한 2분기 결과와 전망에 기반한 허브스팟의 주가 상승</a>
전망: 질로우는 3분기 매출이 추정치 5억 3,800만 달러 대비 5억 4,500만~5억 6,000만 달러에 이를 것으로 예상하고 있다. 이 회사는 3분기에 주택 매출이 3억 7,500만 달러에서 3억 8,500만 달러 사이가 될 것으로 예상하고 있다. 조정 EBITDA는 9,500만 달러에서 1억 1,000만 달러 사이가 될 것으로 예상된다.
이 회사는 &#8220;우리는 3분기 주거용 부동산 산업의 총 거래 가치가 2024년 2분기의 전년 대비 3% 성장과 비교하여 매년 한 자릿수 중반 범위로 성장할 것으로 추정한다&#8221;고 말했다.
"우리는 렌탈 매출이 매년 20% 중반 정도 성장할 것으로 예상한다. 우리는 판매로 인한 이익을 얻으면서 다가구 매출이 전체 임대보다 빠르게 성장할 것으로 기대한다."
ZG 주가 움직임: 수요일 질로우 클래스 C의 주가는 애프터마켓에서 12.52% 상승한 47.00달러를 기록했다.
