AmpliTech Group Inc

Astronautics company, Intuitive Machines Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>), unveiled plans for its Near Space Network Services (NSNS) program, highlighting a strategic pivot toward recurring, high-margin revenue from lunar orbit infrastructure.
What Happened: During its <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45378821/intuitive-machines-q1-earnings-revenue-up-14-im-3-mission-remains-on-track-company-affirms-fy25-guidance">first quarter earnings</a> call on Tuesday, the company positioned its satellite-based relay and navigation network as a cornerstone of its long-term growth model.
&#8220;The Lunar Data Satellite constellation portion of NSNS is designed to provide secure and continuous connectivity for navigation, command, and control of spacecraft,&#8221; CEO Stephen Altemus says, adding that it will be used to serve a &#8220;wide array of customers while driving higher margin recurring revenue streams.&#8221;

Altemus says that its customers include NASA, from which it has already secured an $18 million task order under its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. He also expects this infrastructure to be used by &#8220;future commercial customers operating on or around the Moon.&#8221;
The company&#8217;s CFO, Peter McGrath, said during the call that, &#8220;We're building the assets, they're capital assets that we own. And then we're going to be selling them as a service.&#8221; 
He then compared the NSNS business model to commercial satellite networks like Globalstar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSAT#NASDAQ">GSAT</a>) or Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRDM#NASDAQ">IRDM</a>), citing its potential to generate stable, service-based revenue.
The company expects to launch its first NSNS data relay satellite alongside its IM-3 lunar delivery mission in the first half of 2026.
Why It Matters: Intuitive has been dubbed one of the <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42828631/exclusive-rocket-lab-intuitive-machines-redwire-or-ast-spacemobile-33-of-readers-pick-this-space-stock-for-2025">leading space stocks</a> to watch as the industry scales new heights, as the company carves out a niche for itself in Lunar exploration, becoming a critical partner for NASA&#8217;s Artemis Program. 
During its <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45378821/intuitive-machines-q1-earnings-revenue-up-14-im-3-mission-remains-on-track-company-affirms-fy25-guidance">first quarter results</a> on Tuesday, Intuitive reported $62.5 million in revenue, up 14% from the prior quarter, with $272.34 million in order backlog towards the end of the quarter. 
Price Action: The stock was up 22.42% on Tuesday, trading at $11.63 per share, and is up 2.75% after hours.

The recent trade agreement between the&nbsp;U.K.&nbsp;and the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;has been met with disapproval from&nbsp;China, potentially adding more complexity to London&#8217;s ongoing efforts to rebuild its relations with Beijing.
What Happened: The trade pact, which imposes strict security measures on Britain&#8217;s steel and pharmaceutical sectors, is the first of its kind since the U.S. introduced &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221; last month. China&#8217;s foreign ministry expressed that it is a &#8220;fundamental principle&#8221; that agreements between nations should not be aimed at other countries, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/52f7be1c-e708-4b01-b486-7f189a52c842">reported</a> the Financial Times.
This situation puts London in a delicate position between the two economic powers and may further complicate the U.K. government&#8217;s efforts to rebuild ties with China. Beijing cautioned countries against trade deals with the U.S. that could harm Chinese interests, concerned that President Trump may use such agreements to push China out of supply chains.
"Co-operation between states should not be conducted against or to the detriment of the interests of third parties,"&nbsp; the Chinese foreign ministry told the publication. 
Meanwhile, Zhang Yansheng, a senior researcher at the China Academy of Macroeconomic Research, saw this as Washington&#8217;s attempt to &#8220;isolate&#8221; China. According to him, "This type of poison pill clause is actually worse than the tariffs." Yansheng urges China to discuss the matter with the U.K. without any retaliation.

Why It Matters: This development follows the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/05/45293839/trump-starmer-strike-us-uk-trade-deal-steel-cars-beef">US-UK trade deal</a>&nbsp;that was sealed earlier this month, aimed at cutting tariffs, boosting industrial ties and securing billions in new market access. The trade agreement also entails reductions in punitive U.S. tariffs on U.K. car and steel exports, though it stops short of fully eliminating the baseline 10% tariff on British goods. Tariff relief for British products depends on the outcome of Section 232 investigations, which assess how certain imports affect U.S. national security.
However, the deal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45314561/trumps-uk-trade-deal-draws-criticism-from-ford-gm-stellantis-this-hurts-american-automakers-suppliers-and-auto-workers">drew criticism</a> from American automakers, including&nbsp;Ford (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), who feared it could harm the U.S. auto industry. 
Furthermore, Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45374966/xi-jinping-warns-bullying-and-hegemony-will-only-result-in-self-isolation-in-first-remarks-since-us-china-tariff-suspension">warned </a>that &#8220;bullying and hegemony will only result in self-isolation,&#8221; in his first remarks since the 90-day U.S.-China tariff suspension. This statement indirectly referred to the U.S. and could be seen as a cautionary message to other nations, including the U.K.
In response to China&#8217;s criticism U.K. government stated, &nbsp;"trade and investment with China remain important to the U.K." and that it would continue &#8220;to engage pragmatically in areas that are rooted in U.K. and global interests".

Why Everus Construction Group Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 15%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Chinese e-commerce company, JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) is shaking up China&#8217;s food delivery market with its bold zero-commission model, while taking aim at the global meal delivery scene as well.
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45385027/jd-com-clocks-strong-q1-retail-and-logistics-growth-fueled-by-cash-burn">first quarter earnings call</a> on Tuesday, JD.com&#8217;s CEO, Sandy Xu said that the company has rapidly scaled its food delivery operation, now approaching 20 million daily orders just months after launch.
The business, she stressed, is not a standalone service but deeply integrated into JD's broader retail ecosystem, allowing the company to pursue sustainable scale without charging high commissions and fees. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45399804/robert-kennedy-jr-cheers-fda-plan-to-ban-fluoride-supplements-for-children-calls-move-long-overdue">Robert Kennedy Jr. Cheers FDA Plan To Ban Fluoride Supplements For Children, Calls Move &#8216;Long Overdue&#8217;</a>
JD's pricing strategy is rooted in what Xu called the company's long-standing &#8220;$0.35 principle,&#8221; a philosophy set by its founder, Liu Qiangdong, which prioritizes modest margins over aggressive markups. 
We insist on &#8220;taking only reasonable profit,&#8221; Xu says, adding that the company&#8217;s decision to lower commission rates and boost traffic for high-quality merchants is designed to help sellers focus on food quality over platform costs. &#8220;This is a positive cycle,&#8221; she says. 
Why It Matters: This approach stands in stark contrast with DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>), Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), and GrubHub, which have come under scrutiny for the high commissions they charge restaurants, resulting in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/04/15794004/uber-eats-grubhub-others-sued-for-hiking-fees-charged-to-restaurants-for-deliveries-during-pandemic">them being sued</a> over the years.
Uber recently filed a <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43764119/uber-files-a-lawsuit-action-against-doordash-over-anticompetitive-conduct-underhanded-tactics-have-cost-uber-millions-of-dollars-in-revenue">lawsuit against DoorDash</a>, accusing the rival delivery platform of engaging in underhanded tactics and anti-competitive practices that it claims have driven up costs for both restaurants and consumers.
During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45385027/jd-com-clocks-strong-q1-retail-and-logistics-growth-fueled-by-cash-burn">first quarter</a>, JD reported $41.5 billion in revenue, up 15.8% year-over-year, and beating consensus estimates at $40.2 billion. It posted a profit of $1.16 per share, compared to estimates at $1.05.
Price Action: The stock was up 3.33% on Tuesday, trading at $37.25 per share on the Nasdaq, but is down 2.42% after hours, following its first quarter results.

The Wall Street Journal Reported Tuesday, Baidu To Start Testing Robotaxis in Switzerland by End-2025, Partnering With PostAuto; Turkey Robotaxi Tests Also Planned

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk revealed that both Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and U.S. President Donald Trump were impressed by the company&#8217;s Optimus humanoid robot during a demonstration in Riyadh, where the robot danced to &#8220;YMCA.&#8221;
What Happened: &#8220;We just showed several of our Tesla Optimus robots to His Highness and President Trump, and I think they were very impressed,&#8221; Musk said at a Saudi economic forum. &#8220;In fact, one of our robots did the Trump dance, which I thought was pretty cool.&#8221;
The &#8220;Trump dance&#8221; refers to a signature dance move Trump has performed at rallies, often to the song &#8220;YMCA.&#8221;
The demonstration comes as Tesla officially begins selling its vehicles in Saudi Arabia, with a launch event showcasing its global lineup, including the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728787/tesla-to-make-saudi-arabia-debut-amid-infrastructure-challenges?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Cybercab and Optimus robots</a>. 
The expansion marks a significant shift in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728787/tesla-to-make-saudi-arabia-debut-amid-infrastructure-challenges?utm_source=chatgpt.com">relations between Musk and Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Public Investment Fund</a>, which were previously strained during Tesla&#8217;s &#8220;funding secured&#8221; controversy in 2018.

Musk predicted a future where humanoid robots would become ubiquitous, comparing them to &#8220;personal C-3PO or R2-D2&#8221; assistants from Star Wars. &#8220;My prediction for humanoid robots is that ultimately there will be tens of billions,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think everyone will want to have their own personal robot.&#8221;
The billionaire entrepreneur emphasized the economic potential of robotics, suggesting they could create &#8220;an economy 10 times the size of the current global economy&#8221; and lead to &#8220;universal high income.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Despite Musk&#8217;s optimism, Tesla faces challenges in Optimus production. During the company&#8217;s recent earnings call, Musk acknowledged supply chain constraints, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44998310/tesla-optimus-robot-hit-by-chinas-rare-earths-crackdown-elon-musk-says-thousands-may-be-ready-by-yea?utm_source=chatgpt.com">China&#8217;s new export restrictions on rare earth magnets</a> essential for the robot&#8217;s actuators.
The Saudi expansion aligns with the kingdom&#8217;s ambitious plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44728787/tesla-to-make-saudi-arabia-debut-amid-infrastructure-challenges?utm_source=chatgpt.com">produce 500,000 battery-powered vehicles</a> by 2030.

Warren Buffett Shows How Patience Pays: 98% Of His $160 Billion Wealth Came After Turning 65, Thanks The Power Of 'Compound Interest'

U.S. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. praised the Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s decision to begin removing fluoride supplements for children from the market, calling the move &#8220;long overdue.&#8221;
What Happened: The FDA announced on Tuesday that it&#8217;s initiating a process to eliminate these supplements, primarily given to children at high risk of dental cavities. The agency stated these products lack FDA approval and have been shown to alter the gut microbiome.
&#8220;Ending the use of ingestible fluoride is long overdue,&#8221; Kennedy said. Since taking office, Kennedy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41704387/robert-kennedy-jr-says-he-will-advise-all-us-water-systems-to-remove-fluoride-on-day-1-of-trump-admi">has opposed adding fluoride to tap water</a>, claiming, without conclusive scientific consensus, that U.S. fluoridation levels are linked to various health issues, including cancer.
The FDA has set October 31 as its target date for completing safety reviews and taking appropriate action following a public comment period.

Why It Matters: Dental health organizations promptly contested the move. American Dental Hygienists&#8216; Association President Erin Haley-Hitz said, according to Reuters, &#8220;There is no scientific evidence that fluoride at the recommended low levels affects gut microbiota.&#8221; She warned that removing fluoride resources could worsen oral health disparities in underserved communities.
The American Dental Association reaffirmed its support for community water fluoridation, citing studies showing it reduces tooth decay by over 25% in both children and adults, even with fluoride available from other sources like toothpaste.
This federal action follows Utah&#8217;s landmark decision in May to become the first U.S. state to ban fluoride in public water systems. Kennedy previously stated plans to direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending community fluoridation nationwide.
President Donald Trump, who appointed Kennedy as Health Secretary after winning the 2024 election, had earlier expressed support for Kennedy&#8217;s fluoride removal initiatives, stating last year, &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41704387/robert-kennedy-jr-says-he-will-advise-all-us-water-systems-to-remove-fluoride-on-day-1-of-trump-admi?utm_source=chatgpt.com">it sounds OK to me.</a>&#8220;

Clarivate Announced The Incorporation Of Pathway Maps In OFF-X, A Cutting-edge Translational Safety Intelligence Solution

Prominent financial analyst Gordon Johnson has ignited discussion on social media, suggesting that a potential &#8220;Liberation Day 2.0&#8221; – an event triggering a significant equity market downturn – could be imminent.
What Happened: The CEO and Founder at GLJ Research, LLC, Johnson&#8217;s comments come as the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury note edges closer to the critical 5% mark, coinciding with a weakening U.S. dollar.
In a series of posts on X, Johnson engaged with another financial commentator, Capital Flows, regarding the interpretation of rising interest rates. While acknowledging the argument that higher 30-year yields could signal increased U.S. growth and inflation, Johnson questioned the concurrent decline of the Dollar Index.
&#8220;If rates are rising, while the DXY is falling, is that not indicative of stagflation, and money leaving the US?&#8221; Johnson queried. He also challenged the comparison of rising German 30-year yields, attributing it to a &#8220;repricing of risk&#8221; following the new government, given Germany&#8217;s relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio.
Johnson then drew parallels to a past market event. He pointed to the confluence of factors, including the previous administration&#8217;s trade policies with China and the current Republican party&#8217;s proposed budget, which he says would lead to a &#8220;$4tn increase in deficit.&#8221;
According to Johnson, these factors have contributed to the surge in yields to levels that previously prompted former Treasury official Scott Bessent to implement &#8220;Liberation Day 1.0,&#8221; an action that significantly spooked the stock market.
<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">4/5&#8230; do you not think Liberation Day 2.0 is coming&#8230; &amp; soon (i.e., an event that will crash equities)? That is, the bond mkt has shown it can break the Trump admin. at around a 5% yield on the 30yr; and guess what&#8230; we&#39;re nearly there. So, you think, with &gt;$8tn in&#8230; <a href="https://t.co/aVabn0ScoG">pic.twitter.com/aVabn0ScoG</a>
&mdash; Gordon Johnson (@GordonJohnson19) <a href="https://twitter.com/GordonJohnson19/status/1922454433884979701?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 14, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
His concern centers on the idea that the bond market previously demonstrated its power to pressure the prior administration when 30-year yields approached 5%. And that is when the Donald Trump-led administration announced a 90-day pause in reciprocal tariffs.
With yields nearing that threshold again, Johnson questioned whether current Treasury officials can allow equity markets to continue their upward trajectory, pushing Treasury yields higher and potentially jeopardizing the refinancing of the over $8 trillion in US debt due in 2025.

Why It Matters: As of the publication of this piece, the 30-year Treasury yielded 4.91%, while the 10-year yields were at 4.46% and the 2-year Treasuries yielded 3.99%.
After Tuesday, the S&amp;P 500 index turned positive for the year, up 0.31% year-to-date. Meanwhile, Dow Jones was still down -0.59% YTD, and Nasdaq 100 was up 1.06%.
The Dollar Index spot was 0.07% lower at the 100.9300 level. Whereas, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended on a positive note on Tuesday.

Standard Chartered&#8217;s Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoffrey Kendrick, recently revised his Bitcoin price forecast, suggesting his earlier $120,000 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45281333/bitcoin-120000-price-target-may-be-too-low-says-standard-chartered-i-apologize">second quarter target may prove too conservative</a>.

Luke Boland, Head of Fintech for ASEAN, South Asia &amp; GCNA at Standard Chartered, emphasized the bank&#8217;s commitment to the digital asset space: &#8220;As institutional demand for digital assets continues to grow, we&#8217;re proud to provide the banking infrastructure that enables firms like FalconX to deliver world-class trading and financing solutions.&#8221;
