Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), is not holding back in his criticism of President Donald Trump over rising consumer prices, placing blame squarely on the latter&#8217;s tariff policies.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, Schumer called out Trump for &#8220;trying to bully&#8221; Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) for being transparent about price increases resulting from the tariffs.

The Democratic leader believes Trump is targeting businesses to deflect attention from the consequences of his trade policies. &#8220;Trump can try to blame businesses,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but he [Trump] can't escape the economic realities of his own trade war.&#8221;
Schumer says &#8220;he [Trump] made this mess,&#8221; and it was Trump, and not Walmart, who is responsible for &#8220;sending prices up&#8221; in recent months.

Why It Matters: This comes just days after Trump posted on Truth Social, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484675/trumps-tariff-challenge-amid-rising-price-concerns-president-tells-walmart-to-eat-the-tariffs">urging Walmart</a> to &#8220;Eat The Tariffs,&#8221; instead of passing on the costs to its consumers
Others, such as economist Peter Schiff, have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45486985/peter-schiff-slams-trumps-tariff-logic-higher-prices-are-necessary-to-shrink-trade-deficit">expressed similar views</a>, calling out the lack of logic in Trump&#8217;s arguments. &#8220;If the goal of tariffs is to reduce our trade deficit, the only way that will happen is if Walmart and other importers raise their prices,&#8221; he said.
The CEOs of Walmart, Target Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) and Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) told Trump during a meeting at the Oval Office last month that &#8220;the shelves will be empty&#8221; if the <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45404626/walmart-target-home-depot-ceos-tell-trump-prices-will-rise-shelves-will-be-empty-if-tariffs-persist">tariffs continue to persist</a>.
&#8220;The big box CEOs flat out told him [Trump] the prices aren't going up; they're steady right now, but they will go up,&#8221; one leading administration official said. 
Price Action: Walmart shares were down 0.12% on Monday, trading at $98.12, and are down 0.11% in after-hours trading.

Chuck Schumer Slams Trump Over Rising Prices, Says Walmart's Transparency Exposes 'Economic Reality' of Tariffs: 'He Made This Mess'

Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43649987/google-io-2025-officially-set-for-may-20-21-heres-what-to-expect-from-ai-breakthroughs-to-the-future-of-android-and-pixel-9a">annual developer conference</a>, Google I/O 2025, will kick off tomorrow, May 20, and run through May 21 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. On Monday, one top analyst said the stakes couldn't be higher for the company's future in search.
What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster called Google's developer conference a "big deal," underscoring the pressure on the company to modernize search before competitors do.
&#8220;It's the company's chance to prove it's not afraid of the innovator's dilemma and that it's willing to take bold, outside-the-box steps to stay relevant in generative AI without blowing up the business model that built it,&#8221; Munster stated.

He noted that with competition from OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude and xAI's Grok, users are spending less time on traditional search. While AI Overviews have boosted some usage, the overall growth in Search is slowing.
The core tension: users want quick, direct AI answers, not pages of blue links.
&#8220;I still don't know how they thread the needle between giving consumers what they want (a simple trusted answer) while still giving investors what they want (revenue growth with continued high margins),&#8221; Munster noted.

Why It's Important: Alphabet Inc. reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">first-quarter revenue</a> of $90.23 billion, marking a 12% increase from the same period last year and surpassing the consensus estimate of $89.2 billion, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0424">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Revenue from Google Search reached $50.7 billion, up from $46.2 billion a year ago, while total advertising revenue climbed to $66.9 billion from $61.7 billion in the previous year.
Google I/O has long served as the platform for debuting key software innovations, such as the latest Android releases and strides in AI. At last year's event, Google introduced Gemini Live along with several AI-powered capabilities.
This year, AI is likely to be the main focus once more. The Sundar Pichai-led company is anticipated to reveal fresh updates to its Gemini AI, introduce Android 16 and roll out enhancements across Google Search, Assistant and Workspace.
Price Action: Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Class A shares declined 12.08% year-to-date, while Class C decreased by 11.94%.&nbsp;
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Alphabet holds a growth score of 66.98%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it measures up against other firms</a>.

Google I/O 2025 A 'Big Deal,' Says Gene Munster: Sundar Pichai's Alphabet Has No Choice But To Disrupt Itself Before Someone Else Does

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) opposed the GENIUS Act, popularly known as the stablecoin bill, on the Senate floor Monday, citing worries that it would enable President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;crypto corruption.&#8221;
What Happened: Warren remarked that the Republican-led legislation would supercharge the stablecoin market and the reach and profitablity of the Trump family-backed USD1.
&#8220;For the first time in history, this bill will make our president the regulator of his own financial product,&#8221; Warren said. &#8220;If the Congress does nor fix it here, it will be aiding and abetting his corruption everytime USD1 is used to finance a corrupt deal.&#8221;
Warren also raised concerns that the bill would give terrorists and drug cartels easier access to money through stablecoins. While stablecoins such as Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) have been used for illegal activities, a survey by blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis found that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36698244/over-99-of-cryptocurrency-on-chain-is-legal-bitcoin-use-in-criminal-activity-falls-again">vast majority of cryptocurrency transaction activity</a>, around 99.6%, is used for legal purposes.
The White House didn't immediately return&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's</a>&nbsp;request for comment on Warren&#8217;s allegations.

Taking a diametrically opposite view, Anthony Scaramucci, a known cryptocurrency advocate and former White House Communications Director, argued that&nbsp;the GENIUS Act would benefit the U.S., its citizens, the dollar, banks, fintech startups, and the cryptocurrency sector. He warned that Democrats opposing the bill would be committing &#8220;political suicide.&#8221;

USD1, which has risen to become the fifth-largest stablecoin by capitalization, has been chosen&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45160707/eric-trump-says-world-libertys-stablecoin-will-be-used-to-close-a-2-billion-deal-dollar-token-to-also-get-integrated-with-justin-suns-tron-blockchain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to close a $2 billion deal&nbsp;</a>between Abu Dhabi investment firm&nbsp;MGX&nbsp;and cryptocurrency exchange&nbsp;Binance, as announced by&nbsp;Eric Trump&nbsp;at a recent cryptocurrency conference. 
A Trump-affiliated organization holds a 60% share in the parent company of the firm behind the stablecoin, World Liberty Financial, while his son Eric Trump sits on the board.
Warren deemed deals like these as a way for big companies and foreign governments to evade scrutiny and pay off Trump personally.

Elizabeth Warren Urges Congress To Vote Against Crypto Bill, Saying It Turbocharges Trump Corruption — Anthony Scaramucci Warns Democrats Against 'Political Suicide'

On Monday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).
The TSMC Trade saw Ark Invest making substantial purchases of the Taiwan-based chip giant&#8217;s shares. The Ark Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) collectively acquired 197,776 shares. This move comes as TSMC collaborates with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45487650/nvidia-tsmc-and-apple-supplier-foxconn-partner-to-develop-taiwan-ai-supercomputer">Nvidia and Foxconn</a> to develop a powerful AI supercomputer in Taiwan. The partnership aims to enhance AI computing infrastructure in Asia, potentially boosting TSMC&#8217;s technological edge. 
However, TSMC&#8217;s Arizona factory has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/04/44932342/taiwan-semiconductors-arizona-factory-faces-441-million-loss-amid-supply-chain-labor-cost-challenges">faced challenges</a>, incurring a $441 million loss due to supply chain and labor cost issues. On Monday, TSMC shares ended the day 0.4% lower at $193.50 in New York. Ark&#8217;s trade was valued at $3.83 million.
The Meta Platforms Trade involved Ark Invest reducing its holdings in the Mark Zuckerberg-led social media behemoth. The ARKK and ARKW ETFs sold a total of 101,251 shares. This decision coincides with Meta&#8217;s ongoing legal battles, including a plea to dismiss an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45485147/meta-pleads-with-judge-to-dismiss-ftcs-antitrust-case-in-high-stakes-trial">FTC antitrust case</a>. The case could significantly impact Meta&#8217;s market dominance. Despite these challenges, Meta has ambitious plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45160454/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-targets-1-4-trillion-revenue-from-generative-ai-by-2035-court-filing-reveals">generate up to $1.4 trillion in revenue</a> from generative AI products by 2035. Meta shares ended the day at $640.43. Ark&#8217;s Meta sale was estimated to be worth $6.5 million.
Other Key Trades:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>ARKW sold 5,988 shares of Jack Dorsey-led Block Inc. (XYZ)</li>

Cathie Wood's Monday Moves: Ark Bets On Nvidia-Supplier TSMC, Sells $6.5 Million Of Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Shares

Decades before Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) became the world's second most valuable company, co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang admitted he launched the chipmaker with just $200 in his pocket—and no complete business plan.
What Happened: In a 2009 talk at Stanford's Technology Ventures Program, Huang recalled the humble beginnings of Nvidia, which now boasts a market cap exceeding $3.3 trillion.
"So I was 30 years old, and I'd never taken a single business class," he said, adding that the early days were anything but fast-paced.
For about six months, Hunag recalled that they just sat around one of the co-founder's townhouses in Fremont. The big decision each day was, ‘Where do you guys want to go to lunch?'"

He then incorporated Nvidia on his 30th birthday in 1993, with the help of a lawyer, using the $200 he had in his pocket to buy a 20% stake. He then told his two co-founders, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, who each invested $200 for a 20% stake in the company.
Despite this slow start, Huang said what really matters to venture capitalists isn't a polished business plan, but the people behind it. VCs don't invest in business plans, he said, adding that they invest in great people. "Your reputation matters. Your history matters."
He then admitted he never finished the startup book he picked up. "I never finished my business plan … never could figure out how to finish a business plan."

Why It's Important: Nvidia was established on April 5, 1993, to advance 3D graphics in gaming and multimedia.
A major turning point came in 1999 when the company introduced the GPU (graphics processing unit), a breakthrough that would go on to transform the computing landscape.
In May 2023, Nvidia's market value surpassed $1 trillion, and within a year, it crossed the $2 trillion and $3 trillion marks, briefly becoming the world's most valuable publicly traded company in 2024.
As of now, Nvidia holds a market capitalization of $3.306 trillion, making it the second most valuable company globally, just behind Microsoft.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40635978/if-you-invested-1-000-in-nvidia-stock-at-ipo-heres-how-much-youd-have-now">went public on Jan. 22, 1999</a>, with shares priced at $12. A $1,000 investment made during its IPO would now be worth approximately $3.39 million, based on a current share price of $135.57, turning early investors into potential millionaires.
Nvidia is scheduled to release its first-quarter earnings after the market closes on May 28. According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/login">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report earnings of 89 cents per share, with revenue projected at $43.07 billion.
Price Action: Nvidia shares edged up 0.13% to $135.57 during Monday's regular trading session and gained an additional 0.074% in after-hours trading.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Nvidia boasts a strong growth score of 95.02%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other leading tech companies</a>.

Jensen Huang Once Revealed He Never Attended A Single Business Class And Began Nvidia With Just $200 In His Pocket: 'Never Could Figure Out How To Finish A Business Plan'

Real estate investor and "The 10X Rule" author Grant Cardone has constantly shown up on social media platforms. He regularly posts on X, YouTube, Facebook, and other networks. Also, he hosts a podcast and regularly appears as a guest on other shows.
Cardone has made it a point to show up in front of people as many times as he can. The success he has experienced with this objective is part of the reason why he no longer believes that a good first impression is the most important part of success.
"The ultimate way to build trust is through consistency," Cardone explained in <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@grantcardone/video/7503960662683503903?lang=en">a TikTok clip</a>.&nbsp;

</ul>
If you want to build a successful business, expand your network, or achieve a long-term goal, consistency has become more important than making a good first impression. Here's why Cardone believes that's the case.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Content Will Be Replaced In Microseconds</h2>
The clip starts with Cardone sharing a brutal truth that content creators and social media influencers know too well. Your content will be replaced in microseconds. When most people finish reading an article or social media post, they immediately move on to the next one.
Short attention spans make it more difficult for people to remember your first impression. Millions of posts and articles are competing for attention at any given moment. If you stop at your first impression, people will forget about you. That's even true if you made a strong first impression.
Consistency can get you noticed amid the noise. That's why Cardone posts so often. He knows that if he slows down, people will gradually forget about his brand.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trust Comes From Being Seen Everywhere</h2>
Cardone went on to mention that Starbucks claims it doesn't run any advertising. However, the real estate guru states that Starbucks is doing advertising with all of its locations. Seeing them on the street builds trust, and it's a common strategy among institutions.
Many of the largest banks have thousands of branches. Each time you see one of these branches, it builds trust through familiarity. The largest corporations don't stop at the first impression. Instead, they strive to dominate the conversation and be at the top of their mind.
Cardone understands this and attempts to be seen on every platform. He jumped into Periscope and Meerkat back when those live-streaming platforms were available. Both of those platforms shut down, but Cardone was able to capitalize on the significant short-term attention those platforms provided. Some of the people who watched his live streams now follow him on other social networks.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">All Impressions Can Be Changed Over Time</h2>
The video clip wraps up with Cardone sharing how he had to call his wife 26 times before she would give him a chance. She initially didn't give him the time of day, but Cardone's persistence paid off. Now, the couple has been happily married for 20 years.
If first impressions were the dealbreaker, Cardone wouldn't be married to his current wife. He then compared it to acquiring customers. They may not convert the first time or even like your offer. However, the frequency of the delivery of a marketing message over a long period of time can change people's minds. Cardone has used this truth to sell many books, courses, and programs over the years.
Someone who made a bad first impression can redeem themselves over time. Likewise, someone who made a strong first impression can see all of their effort go to waste if they make a bad impression moving forward.

Grant Cardone Reveals The One Thing That Dethroned Making A Good First Impression: 'The Ultimate Way To Build Trust Is Through Consistency'

A Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck owner took to Facebook to vent his frustration after a front trunk malfunction turned into a full-blown breakdown that left him stranded—and humiliated—in front of a crowd of kids.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Frustration Builds Over Recurring Frunk Issues</h2>
&#8220;Frunk has always been misaligned slightly,&#8221; the owner wrote in the Tesla Cybertruck Owners group that user @StonkKing4 <a href="https://x.com/StonkKing4/status/1921620951847801249">shared on X</a> on May 11. &#8220;They replaced the hinges and actuators last summer, but it always sounded like a pop, the crunch whenever it's opened and closed&#8230; the one headlight was broken I'm pretty sure from the frunk crushing into it.&#8221;
<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"><a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24TSLA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$TSLA</a> cybertruck &quot;28 ten year old kids went from thinking the Cybertruck was the coolest vehicle, to pointing and laughing as it was towed away&quot; &#x1f602;&#x1f923; &#x1f921; &quot;Frunk has always been misaligned slightly&quot; <a href="https://t.co/gdqpL5Ael3">pic.twitter.com/gdqpL5Ael3</a>

</ul>
The latch eventually gave out completely. The Cybertruck registered that the frunk wasn't fully closed and triggered a safety limit, capping the vehicle's speed at just 15 mph. &#8220;So while I had problems driving to the game, it would now only allow a maximum speed of 15MPH,&#8221; he added.
The timing couldn't have been worse. The owner was on his way to a baseball game with his son's gear locked in the frunk. When he couldn't get it open or drive at normal speed, he had to call an Uber. &#8220;I was stuck with a $50 Uber bill, and 28 ten-year-old kids went from thinking the Cybertruck was the coolest vehicle, to pointing and laughing as it was towed away on a flatbed truck,&#8221; he said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marketing Shift Amid Poor Sales</h2>
This kind of breakdown and negative press comes at a rough time for Tesla. The company has recently revamped how it markets the Cybertruck, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44919745/cybertruck-gets-a-down-to-earth-redesign-as-tesla-shifts-to-traditional-pickup-marketing-amid-poor-sales">moving away from sci-fi visuals</a> and Mars references. The new pitch shows the truck hauling trailers, navigating rough terrain, and serving family outings—a clear attempt to appeal to traditional pickup buyers.
One Tesla salesperson told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-revamp-working-man-f-150-2025-4">Business Insider</a>, &#8220;Pitching it to truck people is more about the functionality,&#8221; noting that potential buyers often ask how much it can tow or carry.
Tesla has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44755221/tesla-unveils-new-cybertruck-long-range-trim-with-a-362-mile-range-and-reduced-features">introduced a cheaper rear-wheel-drive model</a> priced at $62,490 after federal tax credits. The strategy aims to reverse the flagging demand.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inventory Surges Past 10,000 Units</h2>
According to industry site <a href="https://tesla-info.com/blog/inventory-stats-regional/US?q=1">Tesla-Info.com</a>, as of May 5, Tesla reportedly had 10,236 unsold Cybertrucks in inventory—a record high. The figure came down to 4,487 as of May 14. That&#8217;s still plus 3,728, or 491.1%, on last quarter.
<a href="https://electrek.co/2025/05/05/tesla-cybertruck-inventory-skyrockets-to-record-high/">Electrek</a> estimated Tesla was probably sitting on up to $800 million in unsold Cybertrucks at one point.&nbsp;
Despite early hype and a futuristic design, the Cybertruck now faces a stark reality check. For some owners, it's more embarrassment than excitement.

Darling Ingredients (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAR#NYSE">DAR</a>) and Tessenderlo Group disrupted the enormously profitable health, wellness and nutrition industry this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45340702/darling-ingredients-and-tessenderlo-group-agree-to-form-new-company-to-accelerate-growth-in-attrac">announcing an agreement</a> to merge the collagen and gelatin units of their waste recovery operations into the newly formed Nextiva. Darling already produces 30% of the world's collagen supply, while the joint venture could generate up to $1.5 billion in revenue in its first year of operation.&nbsp;
Nextiva will sit in collagen's sweet spot, with industry growth forecast to rise 9.5% annually, reaching over $14 billion in 2033. This biological gold is extracted from animal skin, tendon, cartilage and bone that waste recovery companies used to throw away as useless byproduct. Its popularity in cosmetics, joint health, supplements, biomaterials and pharmaceuticals has exploded in the last decade, with anti-aging and skin health benefits touted by Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Kourtney Kardashian and other celebrities.

Texas-based Darling has struggled in the last two years, with annual revenue dropping from $6.79 billion in fiscal 2023 to $5.22 billion in fiscal 2024. This marked the first revenue downturn for the S&amp;P Mid Cap 400 component since 2019. The hookup is a strategic move to respond to Wall Street about declining performance and regrow earnings by leveraging its leadership in the profitable animal byproducts segment.&nbsp;
Top tier investment firms including Piper Sandler, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45039081/td-cowen-says-twenty-one-reflects-most-meaningful-validation-of-strategys-bitcoin-treasury-operation">TD Cowen</a>, and UBS cover Darling stock but have yet to issue research reports on this week's news. Clearly, their endorsements will help the deal proceed without roadblocks. In late April, Jason Gabelman at TD Cowen lowered his Darling price target from $37 to $34, pointing to an inconsistent track record on guidance. His ‘take' on the new venture will be watched closely by Wall Street.
Chairman and CEO Randall C. Stuewe touted the venture, saying, &#8220;Collagen has represented the fastest-growing area of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/earnings/25/04/44962097/what-to-expect-from-darling-ingredientss-earnings">Darling Ingredients</a>&#8216; food segment business over the past several years.&#8221; He added that the joint venture will provide a "platform for accelerated product development and growth" and create an opportunity to "unlock significant shareholder value." Darling will own 85% of Nextiva, according to the release, while its Brussels partner holds the balance. Together they intend to operate 23 facilities on four continents, producing about 200,000 tons of collagen and gelatin in the first year.&nbsp;
Trending: 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 $0.30/share!</a>
The hookup is not expected to close until 2026. The initial press release describes the venture as a noncash transaction that combines assets and capabilities, but negotiations are continuing, and no definitive documentation has been sign by principals. However, the ownership ratio between the much larger Darling and its smaller partner appears locked-in and there are no obvious red flags to the startup currently.
Nextiva will also require regulatory approval in the U.S. and European Union, which might face unexpected hurdles, given current political tensions. Meanwhile, collagen use remains unregulated and somewhat controversial, <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/considering-collagen-drinks-and-supplements-202304122911">with critics noting the refined product</a> used in supplements breaks down when ingested, rather than rebuilding our naturally produced substance. They also point to the corruptive influence of marketing hype, driven by celebrities owning companies benefiting from collagen use.
Regardless, both critics and advocates consider collagen use to be safe and our beauty-obsessed culture has a long history of chasing the latest ‘Fountain of Youth', regardless of cost. This bodes well for Darling and Tessenderlo's profit growth in coming years. And, given their giant industry footprint, they could strongly influence worldwide supply and pricing in coming decades.

Taiwan Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo said the U.S. tariffs did not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/taiwan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bother Taiwanese manufacturers</a>, highlighting its leverages, notably its semiconductor ecosystem.
Kuo emphasized the U.S. dependence on Taiwan to boost its microchip manufacturing capacities, the Taipei Times <a href="https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2025/05/19/2003837104" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Monday, citing the minister&#8217;s interview.
Kuo expects Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to maintain its moat over the next decade citing any tariff upsurge would primarily affect US customers instead of the foundry.

Kup expects Samsung Electronics Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) to bear the maximum brunt of the tariff policies due to its lack of advanced semiconductor production capacity.
Taiwan has submitted a position paper under Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act to define the &#8220;complementary relationship&#8221; between Taiwan and the U.S. in terms of trade and technology and adopted policies to prevent illegal transshipments, Kuo told the Taipei Times.
Trump administration on April 2 announced that it would slap &#8220;reciprocal&#8221; tariffs on global trading partners of 32%, 25%, and 24% tariffs on goods from Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan to encourage companies to manufacture their products in the US. However, President Trump recently paused the policy for 90 days.
Reportedly, Taiwan Semiconductor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/05/45466444/to-serve-exploding-ai-chip-demand-taiwan-semiconductor-plans-9-advanced-factories" rel="noreferrer noopener">will construct nine</a> new&nbsp;advanced wafer manufacturing&nbsp;and packaging factories by 2025.
It plans to build nine new factories, including eight wafer fabrication plants and one advanced chip packaging factory.
The contract chipmaker expects to see 60% year-over-year growth in chip shipments with the 3-nanometer process.
Price Action: TSM stock closed at $193.50 on Monday.

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon delivered a sobering assessment of the economic landscape at the bank's annual investor day on Monday. 
The head of the nation's largest bank warned that markets are displaying an "extraordinary amount of complacency" in the face of mounting risks from tariffs, record U.S. deficits <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45497403/is-the-dollars-global-reserve-role-at-risk-after-moodys-downgrade">and geopolitical tensions.</a>
The Details: Dimon cautioned that investors and central banks are underestimating the potential for persistent inflation and even stagflation. In fact, he said the odds of a stagflationary scenario are "roughly double" what people think, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/19/trump-tariffs-jpmorgan-chase-ceo-jamie-dimon.html">according</a> to CNBC.

He noted that the full economic impact of tariffs has yet to be felt and predicted that earnings forecasts for S&amp;P 500 companies could fall to zero growth within six months, down from about 12% at the start of the year.&nbsp;
"I think earnings estimates will come down, which means PE will come down," Dimon said, signaling the potential for further declines in stock prices if corporate profits falter.
The JPMorgan CEO also pointed to the U.S. budget deficit after Moody's downgraded the country's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns"> credit rating</a> last Friday, citing concerns over a sustained increase in government debt and interest payment ratios.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"We have huge deficits; we have what I consider almost complacent central banks," Dimon said.
"You all think they can manage all this. I don't think they can," he added.
Despite these headwinds, JPMorgan reaffirmed its 2025 expense and net interest income guidance, projecting $90 billion in core lending revenue with an additional $4.5 billion possible from trading, depending on market conditions.
However, the bank expects investment banking fees to drop by a "mid-teens" percentage in the second quarter compared to last year, reflecting a slowdown in dealmaking as corporate clients adopt a cautious, wait-and-see approach.
Dimon also addressed the bank's succession plans and reiterated his intention to step down as CEO within the next few years, but not offering a more specific timeline.&nbsp;
"If I'm here for four more years, and maybe two more [as executive chairman]," Dimon said, "that's a long time.
