VinFast Auto Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFS#NASDAQ">VFS</a>) on Wednesday announced that it has taken a significant step toward expanding its U.S. presence by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45996323/vinfast-signs-first-dealership-in-california" rel="noreferrer noopener">launching its first authorized dealership in California</a>.
The new retail location, operated in partnership with the Sunroad Automotive Group, is located in San Diego and is set to begin operations this month.
The launch of this dealership underscores VinFast&#8217;s strategic push to grow its franchise model nationwide while making its electric vehicles more accessible to American consumers.

The San Diego location will feature the company&#8217;s all-electric VF 8 and VF 9 SUVs, along with comprehensive after-sales services, including maintenance, repairs, and warranty support.
This move marks VinFast&#8217;s transition toward a full-scale franchise dealership strategy across all 50 states, a shift initiated in late 2023 to enhance operational efficiency.
To date, the automaker has built a network of over 30 authorized dealerships in 15 states including Texas, Florida, and New York, with California designated as a top-priority market due to its rapid EV adoption.
Through its collaboration with Sunroad Automotive Group, VinFast aims to deliver a seamless customer experience backed by local knowledge and robust infrastructure.
&#8220;We&#8217;re incredibly proud to be VinFast&#8217;s first dealership partner in California,&#8221; said Paul Fillmore, General Manager of VinFast San Diego, adding that the partnership has the potential to drive mutual growth and accelerate EV adoption.
VinFast is also offering competitive pricing to support its U.S. launch. The VF 8 is priced from $39,900, while the VF 9 starts at $62,900, with leasing rates as low as $269/month and $449/month, respectively.
All vehicles come with a 10-year or 125,000-mile warranty, and the battery is covered by an unlimited mileage warranty over the same period for non-commercial use.
The California dealership aligns with VinFast&#8217;s larger global expansion plan, which includes new markets like Indonesia, India, and the Middle East.
As the top-selling EV brand in Vietnam, the company is positioning itself as a global player in clean transportation with a flexible, market-driven approach to growth and operations.
Price Action: VFS shares are trading lower by 0.58% to $3.430 at last check Wednesday.

U.S. stocks inched higher by midday Wednesday, as traders weighed geopolitical uncertainty and awaited the Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45978856/federal-reserve-rate-cuts-trump-tariffs-what-to-watch-wednesday">Reserve's June policy decision. </a>
President Donald Trump declined to offer a clear response on whether the U.S. would directly intervene in the escalating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45988135/bernie-sanders-slams-israels-illegal-attack-on-iran-says-absolutely-imperative-that-the-united-states-not-be-dragged-into-this-war">Israel-Iran conflict</a>.
The Federal Reserve is widely expected to hold rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% for a fourth consecutive meeting. Yet, investor focus is centered on the updated Summary of Economic Projections. 
Economists anticipate the new dot plot will reflect a median expectation of just one rate cut in 2025—down from two in March—alongside modest upward revisions to inflation and downward adjustments to growth forecasts.

Wall Street Rises Ahead Of Fed, Payment Stocks Fall On Stablecoin Bill: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

K33, a Norway-based digital asset brokerage and research firm, has launched a directed share issue to raise at least SEK 85 million (approximately $8 million USD). The proceeds will be used to acquire up to 1,000 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to hold on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin">its balance sheet</a>.
The company <a href="https://k33.com/ir/article?slug=k33-launches-a-share-issue-to-finance-the-purchase-of-up-to-1000-bitcoin-with-a-minimum-of-sek-85-million-secured-through-pre-commitments">confirmed </a>the share offering has already received full subscription commitments, including a €100,000 investment from CEO Torbjørn Bull Jenssen through his personal holding entity.
The offering, priced at SEK 0.1036 per share, is managed solely by Pareto Securities AS and represents a move by K33 to gain direct exposure to Bitcoin while reinforcing its operational capabilities as a crypto broker.
"This raise marks a major milestone towards our initial goal of acquiring 1,000 BTC before scaling further," said Jenssen. 
"We strongly believe that Bitcoin represents the future of global finance and are positioning K33 to benefit maximally from this. A strong balance sheet built on Bitcoin enables us to significantly improve our brokerage operation while maintaining full exposure to Bitcoin's upside potential,&#8221; he said.

According to the company, the Bitcoin accumulation strategy aims to enhance profitability, expand product offerings, and improve appeal to institutional clients without placing the purchased assets at risk.
K33 first announced its BTC-focused treasury strategy on May 28, 2025. 
The new capital raise enables quick access to funds to execute that vision and potentially scale beyond the initial 1,000 BTC target, depending on market demand and board discretion.
The company emphasized that the BTC holdings will not only provide financial exposure but also operational leverage, allowing K33 to offer more competitive services while aligning its core assets with the cryptocurrency markets it serves.

Financial literacy expert and CEO of Children's Financial Network Neale Godfrey has <a href="https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/loans/tips-for-lending-money-to-family-and-friends">advice</a> for lending money to family and friends that won't ruin lifetime relationships. She understands there's plenty of emotional pressure to help loved ones in a financial crisis, but a good heart can lead to heartburn if both parties don't understand and agree to lending terms. It's especially risky when there's no paperwork or legal contracts backing up this money transfer.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">There's no guarantee you'll get your money back.</h2>
Just 56% of loans are fully paid back according to recent <a href="https://financebuzz.com/lending-money-to-family-members-survey">research</a>, revealing miscommunication between borrower and lender. The one making the loan has few options because there's usually no contract and forcing the issue can have lifetime repercussions. In fact, a 2022 <a href="https://www.thejimenezlawfirm.com/what-percent-of-marriages-end-in-divorce-because-of-money/#:~:text=Money%20is%20widely%20known%20as,them%20are%20because%20of%20money.">report </a>lists financial disagreement as a cause in 20% to 40% of divorce cases. Generational lending is equally dangerous if younger folks feel entitlement to family assets, especially if they're going to inherit the money.&nbsp;
Data highlights this family and friends' minefield, with the same study noting that one in four lenders reported "negative impact" from the transaction. In addition, more than a quarter said they were forced to set up formal repayment plans to finally get back their money.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to avoid family feuds when lending.</h2>
Expectations need to be set early, according to Godfrey, with the borrower making it clear the money must be repaid, unless it's given as a gift or "gift in kind." A gift in kind is an agreement that certain actions, like helping on family chores, will satisfy all or part of the debt. In addition, repayment terms should be clear to both parties before cash changes hands, along with a discussion of interest and payment frequency.
She warns potential lenders to avoid enabling bad financial habits. Is this the first time the friend or family member has asked for money, or is it a habitual problem that reflects deeper social issues? If so, it's probably a good time to have a sit down, working together to create a real-world budget for the borrower's lifestyle, assets and financial outlook. Also make sure the money won't be used to further bad habits, like drug use or gambling.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Put it in writing.</h2>
Family and friends may balk at signing loan agreements, insisting it isn't needed between loved ones. Godfrey says to be persistent, explaining this is the best way to protect relationships without frustrations spinning out of control. At a minimum, the paperwork should cover loan terms, the repayment schedule and interest, if any. It should also discuss any gifts in kind agreed to by lender and borrower, and how much that will reduce financial obligations.&nbsp;&nbsp;
As she notes, "caution and clear communication" are keys to preserving relationships and financial well-being between friends and family.

Korn Ferry (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KFY#NYSE">KFY</a>) shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers">rose on Wednesday</a> following the release of its fourth-quarter fiscal year 2025 results.
The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.32, beating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45991661/korn-ferry-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-fy25-results-of-operations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the analyst consensus estimate of $1.26</a>. Quarterly sales of $719.83 million outpaced the Street view of $689.90 million.
The company&#8217;s fee revenue rose 3% year-over-year to $712.0 million in the quarter (4% at constant currency), driven by higher fees in Executive Search and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), though partially offset by a decline in Consulting fee revenue.

Executive Search saw its fee revenue climb to $227.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, marking a 14% increase year-over-year (15% at constant currency).
Driven by increased fee revenue and disciplined cost management, the company&#8217;s adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter reached $121.1 million, with its margin expanding by 70 basis points to 17.0% year-over-year, according to a press release.
The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $1.006 billion, higher than $941.005 million a year ago.
During the quarter, the company also repurchased 232,000 shares of stock for $15.0 million and paid out $25 million in dividends.
Korn Ferry&#8217;s CEO, Gary D. Burnison, said that the company continues to meet its financial and strategic goals despite global economic and political changes. He attributed this success to Korn Ferry&#8217;s diversification strategy and ongoing investments in expanding offerings, which he believes will continue to drive future growth.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, KFY stock has gained over 9% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Tidal Trust III Rockefeller U.S. Small-Mid Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSMC#NYSE">RSMC</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook</h2>
Korn Ferry expects first-quarter adjusted EPS to range between $1.18 and $1.26, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.20. The company also forecasts quarterly fee revenue between $675 million and $695 million.
Price Action: KFY shares are trading higher by 8.99% to $72.76 at last check Wednesday.

Korn Ferry's Diversification Fuels Q4 Beat And Confident Forecast

Alibaba might have flown under the radar recently, but two of its recent moves could position it as one of the most tantalizing names to watch in China-led ETFs. With a new push into next-gen artificial intelligence and an exploding instant commerce model already at 40 million orders per day, the Chinese technology behemoth is quietly rewriting its growth narrative — and, quite possibly, realigning the trajectories of several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">thematic ETFs</a> along the way.
Let&#8217;s break down how Alibaba is combining AI innovation and retail reinvention into a double-barrel growth play that&#8217;s impossible to ignore.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Qwen 3: Alibaba&#8217;s AI Gets An Apple Upgrade</h2>
On Monday, Alibaba Cloud announced the Qwen 3 family of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45975004/alibaba-updates-llms-to-power-ai-on-apple-devices-in-china">open-source AI models</a>, per a Reuters report. They are powerful, multilingual, multi-modal, and include a feature that sets them apart in the competitive LLM race: complete compatibility with Apple&#8217;s new MLX machine learning platform.
This implies Qwen 3 models are able to operate natively on Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs, a potential game-changer in China, where cloud AI is limited by aggressive data sovereignty regulations. By supporting on-device AI in harmony with local controls, Alibaba has reversed what was previously a bottleneck into a distribution benefit.
More significantly, it makes Alibaba not only another AI infrastructure vendor, but a prominent facilitator of consumer-facing AI in China, a space not yet fully addressed by most U.S.-centric AI ETFs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Instant Commerce: 40 Million Daily Orders In Record Time</h2>
Prior to this, Alibaba also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45165898/alibaba-accelerates-taobao-instant-commerce-launch-heats-up-rivalry-with-jd-com-meituan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quietly introduced an enhanced &#8220;instant commerce&#8221; platform</a> through Taobao on May 2, driven by its food delivery business, Ele.me. In a matter of weeks, the service reached 40 million daily transactions, providing one-hour grocery delivery for consumers, as well as meals and lifestyle products.
It also keeps Alibaba ahead of legacy e-commerce players, whose growth is decelerating due to macro headwinds and increasing consumer fatigue. Instant commerce offers repeat use, increased conversion, and cross-category monetization, music to the ears of ETF managers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why ETFs Must Take Notice</h2>
Alibaba&#8217;s double-down on instant retail and AI exactly aligns with two hot ETF themes: next-gen technology and digital consumer expenditures. The firm is a leading name in most China-biased ETFs:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) – 9.10% Alibaba exposure</li>
<li>iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>) – 10%</li>
<li>Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>) – 7.38%</li>
<li>Franklin FTSE China ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLCH#NYSE">FLCH</a>) – 8.99%</li>
</ul>
While the rest of the world&#8217;s AI ETFs, like Global X AI &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) and WisdomTree AI &amp; Innovation Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTAI#BATS">WTAI</a>), remain dominated by U.S. exposure, that may now change with Alibaba venturing into open-source territory.
That could be the prelude to more widespread China tech rerating, particularly as investors seek out AI plays beyond Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and e-commerce tales beyond Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>
What sets Alibaba apart here is not simply that it&#8217;s playing both in AI and retail but that it&#8217;s connecting them strategically. On-device Qwen models might one day drive personalized shopping recommendations, voice-commerce, or even AI-enhanced delivery services within its platform.
That is to say, BABA isn&#8217;t merely pursuing trends. It&#8217;s creating connective tissue among them.
For ETF investors, it&#8217;s a rare occurrence, exposure to two high-growth verticals through one single, large-cap anchor.
