President Donald Trump's push to bring back manufacturing to the U.S. from abroad has forced major companies to rethink their entire business models and invest in the country.
Earlier this year, Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) announced plans to invest $500 billion in the U.S. to expand its manufacturing in the country, while Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) said last month that it will produce AI servers worth up to $500 billion in the U.S. Other major tech giants, including Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)) and IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), have also announced their U.S. investment plans.

In an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/cnbc-transcript-united-states-commerce-secretary-howard-lutnick-speaks-with-cnbcs-brian-sullivan-on-the-exchange-today.html">CNBC</a> last month, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick talked about the progress the Trump administration has made so far in reshoring key manufacturing. Lutnick said the U.S. needs to cut its reliance on foreign manufacturing for national security and economic progress.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Jobs of the Future'</h2>
Asked how the U.S. would secure the workforce needed for manufacturing, Lutnick said community colleges need to start training people for "jobs of the future" based on a "new model" where American families would work in major manufacturing plants.
"It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future," Lutnick said. "You know, this is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here."&nbsp;
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
Lutnick called his proposed model the "future" of American manufacturing and said it would create job opportunities with salaries starting around $80,000 and rising to as much as $200,000.
"This is tradecraft. This is high school-educated, great jobs that start in the 80s and 90s and go up to one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand dollars," according to Lutnick. "We are going to drive the high-value, high-performance jobs to America."
Lutnick's model assumes that the "rest of the world" will make "low-value" products and sell to the U.S. "inexpensively," he said.
When asked about the potential impact of automation and robotics on manufacturing, Lutnick said that even highly automated plants need humans to operate and fix equipment.
"What you're going to see is a highly automated plant that employs three thousand people per plant," he said. "You&#8217;ve got to remember these plants, all these automated arms and stuff. They need to be fixed. They all need a technician to fix them."

Lutnick emphasized that bringing critical manufacturing back to the U.S. has national security significance, adding that without domestic semiconductor production, the country cannot build drones or fighter jets for its defense.
He also highlighted the importance of automobile manufacturing, connecting it to the production of military equipment.
"Why do you need to make autos? Because if you decide you want to make tanks and you want to make trucks and in military, if you don't have steel, if you don't have aluminum, if you don't have cars, you know what you are? You're nowhere," he said.

Trump's Commerce Secretary Says Future of American Manufacturing is 'Tradecraft' Jobs That Only Require High School Education - 'Great jobs that Start in $80,000'

More than a month after the April 17 Season 3 finale, Amazon.com, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Prime Video has reportedly decided that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/06/27771738/here-are-the-most-watched-amazon-prime-video-series-in-the-last-two-years-how-they-stack-up">high-budget fantasy series</a>, "The Wheel of Time," will not return for a fourth season.
What Happened: The decision follows extended internal discussions and was ultimately driven by financial considerations, not creative shortcomings, <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/05/the-wheel-of-time-canceled-prime-video-1236409657/">reported</a> Deadline.
Adapted from the bestselling novels by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson and co-produced by Sony Group Corporation's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, "The Wheel of Time" debuted in 2021, starring Rosamund Pike, to strong viewership, becoming one of Prime Video's top five series launches ever.

However, while the third season drew praise, earning a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes and being regarded by both fans and executives as the show's best, the viewership numbers declined compared to prior seasons, the report noted.
In the U.S., Nielsen data showed it dropped out of the Top 10 Originals after just three weeks, a sharp contrast to earlier seasons that maintained rankings throughout their runs.
Although the series performed better globally and even topped charts in several countries, the returns weren't enough to justify its steep production costs, the report said.
Amazon did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It's Important: The cancellation underscores the increasingly tough economics of streaming, where even well-reviewed shows aren't guaranteed longevity if they fail to meet platform-wide performance metrics.
"The Wheel of Time" helped pioneer Prime Video's investment in high-end fantasy, paving the way for titles like "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power." Its end marks another example of cost-conscious decisions shaping the future of prestige streaming content.
Knowing the risks, showrunners reportedly designed the Season 3 finale to offer some narrative closure, the report added.
Prime Video and Sony will continue to support the show's Emmy campaign for its final season.
Price Action: Amazon shares slipped 1.04% to close at $201.00 during Thursday's regular session, then edged down another 0.31% to $200.36 in after-hours trading, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives Amazon a strong growth score of 97.09%, signaling robust market momentum. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other top-performing stocks</a>.

Prime Video Axes Rosamund Pike-Starrer 'The Wheel of Time:' Cost, Not Quality, Kills Fantasy Epic With 97% Rotten Tomatoes Score For The Latest Season

Amazon&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) autonomous vehicle company Zoox has initiated a second voluntary software recall for its Robotaxi within a month following a collision in San Francisco.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/23/amazons-zoox-issues-software-recall-again-after-san-francisco-crash.html">a</a> report by CNBC, the incident occurred on May 8 when an unoccupied Zoox Robotaxi was struck by an electric scooter at an intersection. The scooter rider, who sustained minor injuries, declined medical attention.
Zoox stated in a blog post that the Robotaxi was stationary at the time of the collision. The vehicle resumed movement after the scooterist fell but did not make further contact.&nbsp; Zoox submitted a voluntary recall report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Thursday.
The NHTSA acknowledged receiving the recall notice and advised caution around autonomous vehicles, as drivers may misjudge the path of cyclists or scooters.

Why It Matters: The recent recall by Zoox underscores the challenges facing autonomous vehicle technology.
Earlier this month, Zoox recalled over 270 vehicles due to a software issue that<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45247102/amazons-tesla-robotaxi-rival-zoox-recalls-270-driverless-vehicles-following-las-vegas-crash-in-april"> caused a crash in Las Vegas</a> on April 8, 2025, prompting a similar recall to address a defect in its automated driving system. The Las Vegas incident involved a Zoox robotaxi colliding with a passenger vehicle, though no injuries were reported.
Despite these setbacks, Zoox is pushing forward with its plans to expand its autonomous vehicle operations. The company announced it will begin<a href="https://benzinga.com/media/25/05/45527674/amazons-zoox-to-launch-self-driving-car-tests-in-atlanta-this-summer"> testing self-driving cars in Atlanta</a> this summer.

Amazon's Zoox Issues Second Robotaxi Recall in a Month After San Francisco Crash

Everybody "knows" that value investing doesn't work anymore. It's in all the headlines.
Investing today is about technology, everyone says. It's about artificial intelligence. It's about quantum computing, about the rebirth of nuclear energy.
Some of this is true, some isn't, but what's really not true is that value investing doesn't work. In fact, it still works better than just about any other investing approach.
The reason people say otherwise is because they've got value all wrong. "Value," they think, is just another word for "cheap." But most cheap stocks are cheap because they're bad investments.
Here's how to invest in value the right way using just two metrics – and beat the markets handily.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What People Get Wrong About Value</h2>
There are a couple of problems with the way people define value investing. First, we need to address the fact that the sound of it is boring.  Value investing sounds like a professor with tweed elbow patches smoking a pipe in an old dusty office in some brick and ivy university somewhere up in Vermont or Maine during a snowstorm. It just sounds boring.
Perhaps if we could call it vulture investing, market pillaging, or some other equally interesting name, it would attract more attention.
But then again, since we seem to have a corner on it, do we really want to attract all that much attention?
Second, let's talk about the way people track value. For instance, the Russell Value Index is supposed to represent value. When you compare it, growth has outperformed value for several hundred consecutive years, according to the literature.
That may be a slight exaggeration, but you get the point.
When you examine the Russell 1000 Value index, it's allegedly the bottom half of the Russell 2000 weighted by value components.
The top holdings include Berkshire Hathaway, Cisco Systems, McDonald&#8217;s, Walt Disney, Raytheon, and Caterpillar. These are all great companies.
What they are not is value companies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Truth About Value</h2>
When we really look at the hard data, the truth is that absolute value never stopped working. When you look at companies that are trading at discounts to asset value, low multiples of the cash produced by the business, and low multiples of liquidation value, which is still one of my favorites, the truth is that they have continued to work and work very well.
The key thing that most people leave out is they will run a list of companies trading below book value and will say, &#8220;Look, these underperformed the market.&#8221; That is, in fact, true.
More than half of those companies are unprofitable and overleveraged, and their products are going completely out of style. You know, they are CD-ROM manufacturers or buggy whip makers in the business of making something we are never going to use again.
Many of the companies that trade below book value, in all honesty, do so for a reason. They are headed for the garbage pile.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making Value Work: Financial Strength</h2>
How do we get rid of those? You have to adjust for a couple of factors:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>You want strength in the financial statements.</li>
<li>You want the ability to survive, and you prefer that they are profitable.</li>
</ul>
Two papers, with several follow-ups, have come out in the last twenty-five years that show us how to do this.
One of these is Joseph Piotrowski&#8217;s publication &#8220;Value Investing: The Use of Historical Financial Statement Information to Separate Winners from Losers.&#8221; The F-score is based on that paper.
Value plus the F-score crush the market. When we add value plus the F-score plus credit scores, I prefer the Altman Z score—then you annihilate the market.
The key variable here is profitability and financial strength.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Missing Factor: Profitability</h2>
The other paper, which very few people seem to have read, is important.
In 2013, an economist, Robert Novy-Marks, published a paper that should have but didn&#8217;t redefine the entire playing field for investing. It is called &#8220;The Other Side of Value: The Gross Profitability Premium.&#8221;
Basically, they found that highly profitable companies outperform, no matter how cheap or expensive they may look. It is a single idea that gross profitability is the missing dimension, the missing factor.
It has found its way into some of the academic models. Novy-Marksed followed up on it with &#8220;Profitability Retrospective: What Have We Learned?&#8221;
This is key because many people today will tell you that quality matters. We have got to buy these quality companies. Everyone has a 16, 17, or 18-factor model that supposedly helps us identify truly high-quality companies.
Novy-Marks has found in both the original 2013 study and the retrospective today that you only need one factor to identify quality. That factor is profitability, which is defined in the original paper as gross profits as a percentage of assets.
The higher that is, the better the company is.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quality Simplified</h2>
It explains all of the excess returns from so-called quality investing. When you ask what exactly we are looking for here, it turns out it all boils down to one simple measure.
You can use an 18-factor model, or you can use just gross profitability as a percent of assets. When you look at the largest cap companies that are in the upper end of the range: Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Visa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), MasterCard (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>), Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Procter &amp; Gamble (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>), UnitedHealth (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) &#8211; all of the same companies that would show up if we use that super sophisticated, 18-factor quality model for which you will pay a massive premium to have access to the data – it turns out you can get the same list using just gross profitability.
Gross profitability also explains all of the defensive strategies.
All of the defensive low beta stocks are just highly profitable companies that also are growing their asset base slowly. They are doing very conservative investing. They are not de-worsifying the business. They are not trying to grow at a high rate.
They are just ridiculously profitable companies that are willing to sit in place and do what they are good at and continually pile up profits and cash.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unifying Factor</h2>
Profitability explains quality. It explains the low beta and low volatility phenomena.
Many investors have looked for new ways to define value. Cash flow to price, earnings forecast, intangible adjusted tangible book value, adjust for a lot of different factors in R&amp;D. These are going to "fix" value's alleged shortcomings in a day and age of high technology.
The truth is that all these newer value strategies sneak in profitability as a factor in addition to value. Profitability by itself delivers market-beating returns.
Profitability plus value, whether that is price to book or a different model that works, like enterprise value to earnings before interest and taxes, beats the market even more.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Value Appears to Have Underperformed</h2>
When we look at the underperformance of "value" since 2007, the truth is that it's because we junked up the value universe. We put a lot of garbage in there. There are many stocks trading below book value that are biotech startup companies. They are below the cash balance on the balance sheet, but they are burning cash at a rapid rate and will soon be out of money. The book value will, in fact, disappear.
There are all these companies that look cheap but are wildly unprofitable. They are burning through money.
Then you have a lot of garbage that came in through the two SPAC movements in 2007 and then again in 2020 when companies that were still basically at the garage stage of existence suddenly went public.
We really junked up the value universe with a lot of garbage.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Foundation of Investment Success</h2>
Profitability is not just another factor but another tool.
It is a foundational tool that unifies multiple styles. It is part of quality, defensive value, and even some growth stocks.
Profitability explains a lot of the strategies that people use without relying on complicated, expensive 18-factor models.
If we take low-volatility companies and buy the most profitable, we are going to outperform the market.
If we just buy the most profitable companies, we are going to outperform the market.
If we buy the most profitable companies that are trading at low multiples of the cash produced by the business, we are going to absolutely crush the markets.
This is not a day trading system or a short-term trading system. It is the single best way to build long-term portfolios that beat the market and produce lasting wealth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Unified Theory of Investing</h2>
Profitability explains almost everything that happens in the market. If you have a great business, it is wildly profitable.
If you are a quality company with high returns on equity, low leverage, and earning stability, you are a very profitable company.
If you are a defensive company with low volatility and lower beta, all of the outperformance of these strategies is because they are profitable companies that are not reinvesting in the business to rapidly grow the asset base.
You have low-investment, profitable companies. There is your entire defensive strategy.
The underperformance of value investing over the last fifteen years or so is entirely because of the addition of so many unprofitable companies. If we use F-scores and profitability to screen out just the profitable undervalued companies, performance goes through the roof.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Simple Path to Success</h2>
Most people won't do it because it doesn't make you rich by next Tuesday. It is not the absolute most exciting strategy on the planet. What it does is give you a very easy, quick way to uncover opportunities.
Two scores.
That is all you have to check. You can put together a universe of companies that can crush the market.
Basically, no folks, value investing is not dead.
If anything, if you understand that financial strength and profitability are the key to making value investing go from boring to the most exciting thing you can possibly do with your money, value investing is very much alive and still very successful.

Value Investing Is Not Dead - It Just Got Smarter

Never say never, but it finally looks like inflation is moderating, if not abating, in 2025.
Core US inflation increased by 2.3% in April, slightly lower than the 2.4% annual rate recorded in March. That's the lowest overall inflation rate increase since February 2021, according to US government figures.
That's good news for both consumers and businesses, both of whom historically benefit from more tepid inflation rates. Life and investing are both easier when prices are stable and more predictable.
"Although it is not our expectation, it is possible that tariffs will not cause inflation to pick up," said David Seif, chief economist for developed markets at Nomura, in comments to Benzinga. "If that's the case, then we'd expect the Fed to be able to cut rates sooner than we expect."
Currently, Seif said he expects to see the next Fed interest rate cut in December 2025.
Other economic experts say evidence supports the growth of more profitable sectors during periods of lower inflation.
"Falling interest rates have historically been a tailwind for equity investors, said Robert Johnson, chairman and CEO at Economic Index Associates. 
In the book &#8220;Invest With the Fed,&#8221; Johnson and his co-authors Gerald Jensen and Luis Garcia-Feijoo found that from 1966 through 2023, the S&amp;P 500 returned 16.4% when the Fed was lowering interest rates and only 6.2% when the Fed was hiking rates. Additionally, inflation was markedly higher when the Fed was hiking versus lowering rates (4.4% versus 3.1%), so the difference in real returns to stock investors was even greater.
"The best performing sectors in a falling interest rate environment were automobiles (30.9%), apparel (27.3%), and retail (25.8%)," Johnson noted. "In addition, small stocks outperformed large stocks during falling interest rate environments. The smallest quintile of stocks returned 30.1% during falling rate environments while the largest quintile returned 15.6%."
These sectors perform better because they are primarily related to consumer discretionary expenditures. "When the stock market is doing well, people often spend more because they feel wealthier, which economists call the ‘wealth effect," Johnson added.
As Seif indicates, the economy isn't out of the woods yet, not with the tariff troubles percolating globally. But if you're looking for a short-term advantage or a head-start on an extended stock market play, here's a closer look at a handful of stocks that may benefit right away from a milder inflation rate climate.
Here are the three stocks most likely to benefit from slower inflation. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Duke Energy</h2>
Utilities have historically benefited from lower rates. "Investors could be interested in these as potential income replacements," said Hao Dang, investment strategist at Consilio Wealth Advisors. "Their businesses are also debt-funded, so lower rates could make things cheaper to run."
That's where Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) comes in.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based utilities giant is a big energy player. It has a $90.9 market cap with bandwidth – it delivers electricity to 8.2 million consumers and provides gas to 1.6 million customers, primarily in the US Midwest and Southeast. It's also in robust growth mode with expected earnings of $1.26 per share for this quarter, translating into a 6.8% growth rate yearly. Toss a hefty 3.56 dividend yield income into the mix, and investors looking for an element of growth should take a closer look at DUK.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs</h2>
The financial sector is also worth closer examination when inflation is moderating.
"Lower rates typically lead to more deal flow, increased leverage and appetite for private equity activity," said Julia Khandoshko, CEO at Mind Money, an investment technology and financial engineering company.
Khandoshko points to one investment banking titan right now that excels in the deal generation and execution realm.
"In financials, a potential rebound in IPOs and M&amp;A this year makes Goldman Sachs particularly interesting," she noted.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) stock has been sluggish so far in 2025, down 9.8% in the past months, but it bounced back in the past month, with shares up 16.5%. Goldman is a signature name in the finance and banking sector and is highly likely to prosper from more robust mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings &#8211; both hallmark deals in times of tamer inflation.
Goldman has certainly been good to its investors, returning 27.75% on an annualized basis over the past five years and outperforming the stock market by 12.73% over the same time frame.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon</h2>
In lower inflation periods, consumers open their pocketbooks and spend more money. In this digital age, there's no more likely place for shoppers to hit "buy" than on Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), the $2.19 trillion market cap behemoth.
The timing may be right to get in on a retail and AI stock that's down 7.15% year-to-date.
"Amazon benefits greatly from the strengths and rapid evolution of the e-commerce sector and high-margin AWS growth," Khandoshko said.
Amazon's stock may be off balance in 2025, but its financials seem squarely in place. Its gross profit of $78.7 billion is almost five times the size of its nearest competitors, and its 8.62% revenue growth more than doubles the sector average of 4.25%.
Additionally, AMZN excels in other business markets. Its cloud computing service, for example, is the largest cloud operation globally, with an approximate 30% market share. In that realm, Amazon Web Services is the crown jewel with revenues of $29.3 billion (up 17%) in the previous quarter and operating income up 22% over the same period.
Tracking a group of 67 analysts shows a $240 target price for AMZN, with a high ceiling of $305.00 per share. The low target price is $195 per share, not far off Amazon's current $200 share price.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One Note of Caution</h2>
While it appears inflation is in check, for now at least, investors should keep a close eye on key metrics like the US Consumer Price Index, the Producer Price Index and the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, all of which closely track consumer and business pricing trends.
"Although inflation has eased from its previous highs, the Federal Reserve is being careful about cutting rates," said John Murillo, chief dealing officer of B2BROKER, a global fintech solutions provider for financial institutions. "Just earlier this month, they decided to keep rates steady, which left some investors feeling let down as they were hoping for a decrease."
Murillo says the Fed has a valid reason to be cautious, as the decline in oil prices created the main disinflationary impact year-to-date. "This decline, although helpful for the U.S. economy in general, is very detrimental for low-margin oil producers — like Occidental Petroleum, Marathon Oil, Valero Energy, and other alternative oil names," he noted. "Even now, crude prices have rebounded around 9% since May 5, giving these companies a chance to recover their losses."
If the next reading of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) comes in higher than expected, that may cause the Fed to think twice about cutting interest rates. "Since crude oil is already bottoming out, a higher CPI number could push back any potential rate cuts, as policymakers need to determine if inflation is under control," Murillo added.

3 Stocks That Will Likely Prosper As Inflation Falls

Seattle-based startup Tensor9 has raised a $4 million seed round to reshape how enterprise software, especially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/25/01/43138024/alibaba-cloud-unveils-new-ai-tools-and-language-models-to-empower-global-developers">AI tools</a>, is deployed inside high-security environments. The company is led by Michael Ten-Pow, a former Amazon Web Services engineer with over a decade of cloud infrastructure experience at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45338099/amazon-backed-glaciers-16m-funding-boosts-ai-robots-capable-of-sorting-30-material-types-transforming-recycling-industry">Amazon</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
Founded in 2023, Tensor9 has already attracted the attention of heavy-hitting investors. Wing VC led the round, joined by Level Up Ventures, Model Ventures' Devang Sachdev, and NVAngels, a group of ex-Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) professionals, according to<a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/amazon-vets-land-4m-for-seattle-data-security-startup-tensor9/"> GeekWire</a>.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tensor9 Is Solving the Enterprise Deployment Barrier</h2>
According to<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/14/tensor9-helps-vendors-deploy-their-software-into-any-environment-using-digital-twins/"> TechCrunch</a>, Tensor9 is focused on solving a growing problem: how to let vendors deliver advanced AI software to enterprise clients without forcing sensitive data out of its original environment.
TechCrunch says that the company enables vendors to install their software directly into a client's existing tech infrastructure, whether it lives in the cloud, on-premise, or on bare metal servers. Instead of shipping data to a software-as-a-service platform, vendors can now deploy code inside a customer's walls, which is crucial for industries like finance, healthcare, and government.
Tensor9 uses a digital twin architecture to make this possible. Each customer environment is mirrored through a virtual replica, which allows vendors to monitor, support, and update deployed software without breaching any privacy firewalls. Logs, metrics, and even hardware issues are fed back to this virtual twin in real time, GeekWire says.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
&#8220;You can't just throw a piece of software over the wall, or it's very difficult to throw a piece of software over the wall, and know what's going on, be able to find issues, debug them, fix them,&#8221; Tensor9 CEO Ten-Pow told TechCrunch. &#8220;They see it running, they can debug it, they can log in and understand what the issues are and fix them.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Bootstrapped Beginnings To High-Profile Traction</h2>
Tensor9 began as a bootstrapped project after Ten-Pow realized that System and Organization Controls 2 compliance wasn't the real obstacle stopping startups from closing enterprise deals. Instead, companies wanted software that could run locally, under their own control, with no risk to data sovereignty, TechCrunch reports.
That insight became the foundation for Tensor9. In the same year the company launched, Ten-Pow brought on two former AWS colleagues, Matt Michie and Matt Shanker, as founding engineers, TechCrunch says. According to the company&#8217;s<a href="https://www.tensor9.com/company.html"> website</a>, Dan Armendariz, who also comes from Amazon, is a founding engineer as well. Shanker brings additional experience from Epic and Twitter, while chief engineer Matt Michie's background includes work at Amazon, Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Uber (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), and Twitter.
Tensor9 is currently working with AI companies like 11x, Retell AI, and Dyna AI, which need to deliver privacy-preserving solutions to major clients in finance and data-heavy sectors, according to TechCrunch.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Funding To Expand Into More Verticals</h2>
With $4 million secured, Tensor9 plans to hire additional engineers and refine its platform for wider industry use, as detailed on the company's website. TechCrunch says that the team is already seeing interest beyond voice AI, branching into enterprise search, data management, and large-scale database software.
&#8220;We have a simple model but underneath the covers there's a lot of complexity that makes that happen, hard technical challenges that we've solved to make that happen,&#8221; Ten-Pow told TechCrunch. &#8220;I think that was one of the things that helped us convince the investors to invest in us.&#8221;
As data privacy rules tighten and AI adoption grows, startups like Tensor9 may be able to redefine how intelligent software reaches the enterprise. Their hybrid approach of marrying cloud-like control with on-prem security could be the model that finally unlocks enterprise AI at scale.

Amazon, Meta Veterans Raise $4M For Tensor9 Startup Backed By NVAngels That Redefines Enterprise AI Deployment

On May 7, the Ninth Circuit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ftc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">affirmed the decision</a> of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, FTC versus Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), denying the Commission&#8217;s application for a preliminary injunction to block Microsoft&#8217;s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Inc.  
The Commission has now determined that the public interest is best served by dismissing the administrative litigation <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings/2210077-microsoftactivision-blizzard-matter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in this case</a>.

Microsoft sold the Xbox gaming console and offered a video game subscription service called Xbox Game Pass and a cloud-based video game streaming service. The agency alleged that the deal would enable Microsoft to suppress competitors to its Xbox gaming consoles and its rapidly growing subscription and cloud-gaming business. The Commission withdrew the matter from adjudication in July 2023 and returned it to adjudication on Sept. 26, 2023. 
Recently, the FTC also dropped a lawsuit against PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) for allegedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45582935/ftc-scraps-pepsico-price-discrimination-case-in-3-0-vote-marking-major-shift-as-trump-era-leadership-reverses-biden-crackdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offering preferential pricing</a> to major retailers like Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>). The case marked broader Biden administration efforts to target price discrimination.
The FTC also paused cases against CVS Health Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), Cigna Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>), and UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) over pharmacy benefit manager practices, citing commissioner shortages after President Donald Trump&#8216;s personnel changes.
President Trump named FTC Commissioner Andrew Ferguson <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42428224/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-mirror-stock-declines-ahead-of-crucial-inflation-data-release-top-analyst-says-buy-the-dip-predicts-275k-btc-target" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his choice</a> for FTC chair last December, replacing Lina Khan. This could potentially reshape the agency&#8217;s approach to tech regulation and antitrust enforcement.
Under Khan&#8217;s leadership, the federal firm has aggressively targeted tech giants, including&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>),&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and&nbsp;Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).

Comparative Study: Amazon.com And Industry Competitors In Broadline Retail Industry

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) shareholders decisively rejected a proposal requiring the company to maintain separate CEO and board chair positions, with approximately 82% voting against the measure at Wednesday&#8217;s annual meeting.
What Happened: The independent shareholder proposal sought to codify Amazon&#8217;s current leadership structure, where CEO Andy Jassy and Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos hold distinct roles, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/amazon-shareholders-reject-proposal-to-split-ceo-and-chair-roles.html">reported</a> CNBC. This arrangement began in 2021 when Bezos stepped down as CEO while retaining the executive chairman position.
The Accountability Board, an advocacy group that submitted the proposal, argued the separation aligns with &#8220;the majority of S&amp;P 500 companies&#8221; and enables better corporate governance oversight. The group contended that splitting these roles allows boards to focus on governance while CEOs concentrate on business operations.
Amazon&#8217;s board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal, emphasizing the need for flexibility in leadership structures. The company stated in its proxy filing, according to the report, that current policy enables the board to &#8220;determine the right leadership for the company in light of our specific circumstances at any given time.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Amazon&#8217;s stock performance has shown resilience despite recent volatility. Shares dropped over 30% following President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff announcements in April, reaching a low of $167.32 on April 21. However, the stock has recovered, closing Thursday at $203.10.
Notably, billionaire investor Bill Ackman&#8216;s Pershing Square Capital Management established a new Amazon position during the recent stock decline. Chief Investment Officer Ryan Israel told analysts the firm acquired shares at an &#8220;extremely attractive&#8221; price, citing Amazon as a &#8220;fantastic franchise&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45577863/bill-ackmans-pershing-square-builds-new-stake-in-amazon-at-extremely-attractive-price">positioned for over 20% earnings per share growth</a>.

Amazon Shareholders Reject Proposal To Split Roles Of CEO Andy Jassy And Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos, Backing Current Leadership Structure With 82% Vote

Israel Englander&#8216;s Millennium Management trimmed its positions in major technology stocks while increasing its Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) exposure during the first quarter of 2025, according to its 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15.
What Happened: The hedge fund giant reduced its Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) common stock position by 7% to 9.2 million shares, valued at $1 billion, while simultaneously trimming put options by 5% to 25.5 million shares and increasing call options by 5% to 11.3 million shares.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) saw its common stock position cut by 29% to 1.8 million shares worth $693 million, while Millennium boosted put options by 28% to 5.5 million shares and maintained call positions at 2.3 million shares.

Israel Englander's Millennium Cuts Stakes In Nvidia, Microsoft, And Meta While Boosting Amazon Bet In Q1 Amid Strategic Talks With BlackRock, Goldman Sachs

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman's hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management, established a new position in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) after the stock dropped more than 30% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45372179/us-china-tariff-truce-adds-nearly-45-billion-to-net-worth-of-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-mark-zuckerberg">earlier this year. </a>
The Details: Pershing Square chief investment officer Ryan Israel told analysts on a call Thursday that the firm acquired Amazon shares at an "extremely attractive" price, according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-22/pershing-square-buys-amazon-stake-after-31-drop-in-stock-price?embedded-checkout=true">report</a>.&nbsp;

"This was a uniquely attractive time as we felt that the company would be able to work through any slowdown" in Amazon's cloud business, Israel said.
He added that Amazon is a "fantastic franchise"&nbsp; and "well on its way" to delivering more than 20% earnings per share growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Amazon stock tumbled more than 30% following President Donald Trump's tariff announcements on "Liberation Day" in early April to a low of $167.32 on April 21.&nbsp;
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told shareholders on Wednesday that the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45551594/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-no-slowdown-in-consumer-spending-amid-tariffs">has not experienced</a> any significant changes in consumer spending due to the tariffs.&nbsp;
Jassy said, "We have not seen any attenuation of demand at this point," and added that there have been no "meaningful average selling price increases."&nbsp;
AMZN Stock Price Action: Amazon shares ended Thursday's session up 0.98% at $203.10, according to data from<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw"> Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Builds New Stake In Amazon At 'Extremely Attractive' Price

Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. On Wednesday, Target registered first-quarter sales of $23.85 billion (down 2.8% year over year), which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45540759/target-stock-slips-as-q1-earnings-miss-estimates-fy2025-outlook-cut-amid-slowing-sales" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">missed the Street view of $24.32 billion</a>.
The retail giant lowered its FY2025 adjusted EPS guidance from $8.80–$9.80 to $7.00–$9.00. Following the results, analysts have made several adjustments to their ratings and price forecasts for the stock. Here are the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">key analysts&#8217; takes on the stock</a>:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>BofA Securities analyst Robert F. Ohmes downgraded Target from Buy to Neutral, lowering the price forecast from $145 to $105.</li>
<li>Telsey Advisory Group analyst Joseph Feldman downgraded the stock from Outperform to Market Perform, decreasing the price forecast from $130 to $110.</li>
<li>JP Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers reiterated the Neutral rating on the company, raising the price forecast from $105 to $109.</li>
</ul>

BofA Securities: Ohmes notes that while Target is experiencing overall softness in comparable sales, the company continues to perform well in areas like digital channels, seasonal categories, and brand partnerships, including the recent Kate Spade launch.
The analyst writes that merchandising efforts could help strengthen Target&#8217;s appeal and value perception over time. However, the stock is now notably lagging behind peers such as Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
Ohmes has lowered the FY26 adjusted EPS estimate to $6.95 from $9.10. For the second quarter, the analyst projects EPS of $1.50 and a 2% decline in comps.
Ongoing margin pressures are likely, and he flags increased uncertainty due to persistent top-line weakness, pressure from tariffs, and a delayed comp recovery. Softer sales are also expected to lead to more markdowns, which would further weigh on margins. Over the long term, Ohmes believes expansion in high-margin segments like marketplace and digital advertising could help improve margin stability.
Telsey Advisory Group: Feldman observes that competitors like Walmart are gaining ground in several of Target&#8217;s key product areas, holding or increasing share in 15 of 35 categories in Q1 FY25, particularly by appealing to higher-income shoppers through broader assortments, better pricing, and greater convenience.
The analyst also expressed a cautious stance on the newly formed Enterprise Acceleration Office. As a result, he has reduced his 2025 EPS estimate to $7.71 from $8.80 and now expects comparable sales to decline 2.5%, versus a previous estimate of a 0.3% drop.
The revision in rating reflects the continued challenging macro environment, inconsistent operating execution, limited visibility on the progress of initiatives, and potential risks related to tariffs, the analyst noted.
JP Morgan: Per Horvers, Target continues to hold relevance as a retailer over the long term but emphasizes that a more supportive macroeconomic environment is needed to drive stronger goods demand, similar to the backdrop in Q4 FY24 when Target&#8217;s market share losses were at their lowest in over two years.
The current backdrop is complicated by tariffs (which could accelerate share to value players like Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cost#NASDAQ">COST</a>), Walmart Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)), the analyst notes.
Target has reiterated its tariff strategy, which includes negotiating with vendors, re-evaluating assortment, diversifying countries of production, adjusting ordering timing, and taking price as a last resort.
The analyst also points out that management reported 36% year-over-year growth in same-day delivery, driven by the Target Circle 360 program. The service now includes no markups for hundreds of partner retailers, which Horvers views as an effort to grow subscription revenue and better compete with offerings like Amazon Prime, Walmart+, and Instacart.
Price Action: TGT shares are trading higher by 2.31% to $95.22 at last check Thursday.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747926045_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio assesses the extent to which a company relies on borrowed funds compared to its equity.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
By evaluating Amazon.com against its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following observations arise:
<ul>
<li>
In terms of the debt-to-equity ratio, Amazon.com has a lower level of debt compared to its top 4 peers, indicating a stronger financial position.
</li>
<li>
This implies that the company relies less on debt financing and has a more favorable balance between debt and equity with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.44.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Amazon.com, the PE ratio is low compared to its peers in the Broadline Retail industry, indicating potential undervaluation. The high PB and PS ratios suggest that the market values the company's assets and sales highly.

However, the high EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth signify strong operational performance and growth potential within the industry.

Cramer Backs Marvell Again As AI Deals With Amazon, Microsoft Fuel Stock Surge

Future Fund LLC's Managing Director, Gary Black, called Baidu Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) autonomous taxi service, Apollo Go, the "world's autonomous ride-hailing leader" as it reached the eleven million paid rides milestone.
What Happened: "$BIDU‘s Apollo Go autonomous ride hailing business has now completed 11 million paid autonomous rides," Black said in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Black then set the context and drew parallels with services like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). "In 1Q, Apollo Go expanded its driverless ride-hailing business into Dubai and Abu Dhabi," he said, highlighting the company's growth.
He also shared updates from the company's Q1 earnings release and how Apollo will provide fully autonomous rental services in China. The company also completed 1.4 million rides in Q1 2025.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Baidu CEO Robin Li touted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45557944/baidus-apollo-go-enters-dubai-and-abu-dhabi-ceo-robin-li-touts-global-robotaxi-lead-with-1-4-million-rides-in-q1">Apollo Go's robotaxi prowess </a>at the company's earnings call. With the Dubai and Abu Dhabi expansion, the service operates in over 15 cities globally.
"With over 1,000 fully driverless vehicles now deployed globally, we continue to solidify our position as the world's leading autonomous ride-hailing service provider," Li shared at the earnings call.
Elsewhere, Waymo recently announced it reached the ten million paid autonomous rides mark, doubling its total in a period of 5 months. The figure includes rides from cities like Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Austin.
Waymo has had a substantial lead over rivals like Tesla and Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox, as the company had also previously shared it reached <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001569/waymo-announces-250000-weekly-paid-rides-across-four-us-cities-sundar-pichai-says-personal-ownership-an-option-in-the-future">250,000 weekly rides</a>.

Gary Black Calls Tesla Rival Baidu's Apollo Go 'Autonomous Ride Hailing Leader' Following Eleven Million Paid Robotaxi Rides Milestone

The Republican tax bill, a priority of the Trump administration, could exacerbate wealth inequality in the U.S., according to a report by Oxfam. The non-profit organization argues that the legislation would disproportionately benefit the affluent.
What Happened: Oxfam America&#8217;s study suggests that the proposed tax cuts would further stack the odds against ordinary citizens in favor of the wealthy. The report also explores the possibility of implementing a wealth tax on ultra-millionaires and billionaires as a means to address inequality. Oxfam&#8217;s analysis shows that a 3% tax on wealth exceeding $1 billion could raise $50 billion from just the 10 richest Americans—enough to fund a year of food assistance for 22.5 million people, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/21/business/billionaire-tax-cut-trump">reported </a>CNN.
However, the implementation of such a wealth tax could face significant challenges, including valuation of net worth and potential constitutional issues. The debate persists as lawmakers consider whether to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the hallmark tax legislation of the Trump administration.
Meanwhile, a new study from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revealed that the benefits arising from the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act,&#8221; would not be evenly distributed, with the bottom 10% of earners facing a 4% drop in household resources by 2033, while the top 10% would gain 2% due to lower taxes.
Meanwhile, Kent Smetters, a business economics professor from University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School told CNN that the top 10% of households would receive approximately $3.1 trillion in tax cuts over a decade. This possibly includes the likes of billionaires like Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Founder Jeff Bezos and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Here&#8217;s What He Says It Means</a>
Why It Matters: The potential impact of the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; on wealth inequality has been a subject of intense debate. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office">recent report by the Congressional Budget Office</a>&nbsp;estimated a 4% income drop for the lowest decile of Americans by 2033, raising concerns about the bill&#8217;s impact on the wealth gap.
Meanwhile, the bill&#8217;s potential to exacerbate the deficit has also been a point of contention. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office">CBO report</a>&nbsp;suggested that the tax changes, including the extension of the 2017 tax act, could increase the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion.
These concerns have prompted strong reactions from political figures. Senator&nbsp;Elizabeth Warren&nbsp;criticized the Republicans for advancing the bill through late-night votes, questioning their motives. The bill&#8217;s potential impact on wealth inequality and the deficit continues to be a key point of contention in ongoing political debates.
