DraftKings

DraftKings got its start in 2012 as an innovator in daily fantasy sports. Then, following a Supreme Court ruling in 2018 that allowed states to legalize online sports wagering, the company expanded into online sports and casino gambling, where it generally holds the number two or three revenue share position across states in which it competes. DraftKings is now live with online or retail sports betting in 28 states and iGaming in five states, with both products available to around 40% of Canada's population. In 2024, sports revenue was 61% of total sales, i-gaming 32%, and fantasy and lottery 7%. The company also operates a non-fungible token commissioned-based marketplace and develops and licenses online gaming products.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

As we reach the midpoint of the year, recession fears are slowly abating. In May, <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/economy/recession-probability">J.P.Morgan</a> lowered the probability of a recession occurring in 2025 from 60% to 40%. However, it still warned that a period of subpar growth could lie ahead, especially if tariffs remain high.&nbsp;
While the news has calmed some of the fear surrounding the economy, it hasn't eliminated all of it. A <a href="https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/news/layoff-anxiety">survey</a> conducted by Indeed and Harris Poll in June found that 46% of Americans are concerned about layoffs within the next year.
If you count yourself among that number, we have some good news. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/12/10-strongest-us-economies-recession-top-states-for-business-rankings.html">CNBC</a> has identified the 10 states with economies that are least likely to be affected by a recession.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – Many are rushing to grab <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share</a></li>

</ul>
To score each state's economy, the outlet considered factors like state gross domestic product growth, job growth, state fiscal health, housing market health, among others. Additionally, CNBC looked at how dependent each state is on the federal government for jobs and funding, and how greatly it could be impacted by a potential trade war.
These ten states, it says, "have what it takes to navigate a recession."
At No. 10 is South Carolina. The state is fairly vulnerable to increased tariffs, thanks to the fact that international goods trade made up around one-third of its economy in 2024, but it also has one of the fastest-growing economies in the union, as well as significant job growth.
Georgia's diverse economy puts it at No. 9, and Utah, which led the nation in gross domestic product growth in 2024, comes in at number eight.
Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a>
Idaho, which is fairly insulated from the trade war but heavily dependent on the federal government for jobs and funding, is number seven on CNBC's list. Washington state, New York and Delaware take up the sixth, fifth and fourth spots, respectively.
At No. 3 is North Carolina, which is also CNBC's top state for business overall in 2025. Despite some setbacks from Hurricane Helene, the state is affordable, sheltered from federal job and budget cuts, and home to three major companies— Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), and Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>)— that provide a large number of jobs.
Texas has the second-most recession-proof economy in the US, CNBC reports. The sheer size of its economy helps offset concerns about its reliance on the federal government for jobs and international trade.&nbsp;
The most stable economy in the nation, according to CNBC's estimation, is Florida. Topping the list for the third year in a row, Florida benefits from strong finances, healthy economic and job growth, and a wealth of new business formations. However, the state does rely on the federal government for 34% of its budget, which has experts cautioning against complete trust in the Sunshine State.&nbsp;

Space Stock Tracker: Virgin Galactic Makes A Comeback While Rocket Lab Takes A Breather

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy is known for his opinions on sports. In recent years, he also became well known for his opinions about<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42602503/dave-portnoy-says-he-owns-15-million-bitcoin-13-million-xrp-bet-it-and-set-it-not-trading"> the cryptocurrency sector.</a> He recently sold his stake in XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) and missed out on millions of dollars.
What Happened: Portnoy, who was known to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43647226/dave-portnoy-buys-risk-laden-dave-fartnoy-after-promoting-controversial-jailstool-im-in-this-one-to-make-money"> invest in altcoins </a>earlier this year, shared back in December that he held $1.3 million in XRP Token and $1.5 million in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). The investor said he planned to set the investments and forget them.
Fast forward to July 2025 and Portnoy recently admitted in a video shared July 17 that he sold his XRP at around $2.40.
Portnoy <a href="https://x.com/stoolpresidente/status/1947290161089302900">said </a>XRP was going from $2.10 to $2.40, back to $2.10, back to $2.40. A crypto analyst who has given Portnoy advice texted and said he didn't like what XRP was doing and thought that Circle Internet Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) and the competition in the stablecoin space could be bad news for XRP.
The Barstool Sports founder said he had close to $3 million in XRP and decided to sell it when it went back up to $2.40.
"I wasn't going to sell it. I was going to diamond hands it," Portnoy said.
After selling the XRP, the cryptocurrency "went parabolic," according to Portnoy.
"I blame my $XRP guy who texted me out of the blue to say he didn't like it as much anymore," Portnoy tweeted.
The investor said the person who texted him said they didn't sell their XRP as they hold things for five years.
"I would have made millions. I want to cry."
Portnoy said selling early and missing out on millions "made me sick to my stomach."
XRP trades at $3.53 today, with the one-month range $1.91 to $3.65. The recent high of $3.65 is just shy of an all-time high of $3.84 hit back in 2018 and marks the highest price for XRP in seven years.

Why It's Important: Despite the missed profits in XRP, Portnoy said he's still made profits on his Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) investments.
"I'm still doing good," Portnoy said.
Portnoy's investments in Bitcoin and XRP in December 2024 happened after the investor<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42403470/michael-saylor-uses-lebron-james-michael-jordan-sports-analogy-to-explain-bitcoin-to-dave-portnoy-satoshi-gave-us-a-game-we-can-all-win" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;interviewed Bitcoin bull</a>&nbsp;Michael Saylor.
&#8220;I&#8217;m always late to these runs,&#8221; Portnoy said in response to a viewer of his &#8220;Davey Day Trader Global&#8221; stream.
Portnoy also shared that he is holding his Bitcoin, saying he had 15 Bitcoin, worth around $1.5 million.
&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna bet it and set it, not trading,&#8221; Portnoy said of the cryptocurrencies.
During the streams, Portnoy also discussed the optimism for Ripple and XRP thanks to the launch of the stablecoin, while adding that RLUSD was not a hidden thing.
&#8220;Already so much hype.&#8221;
The Barstool Sports founder asked Saylor, who is known as one of the biggest Bitcoin bulls, to explain Bitcoin to him in a way he can understand. The interview came after Portnoy confessed to selling his Bitcoin after the&nbsp;Winklevoss twins&nbsp;confused&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42361200/dave-portnoy-blames-winklevoss-twins-for-confusing-him-into-selling-bitcoin-too-early" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">him back in 2020.</a>
Portnoy&#8217;s investment in XRP came after Saylor essentially told him to buy Bitcoin and not worry about other investments.
Along with cryptocurrency investments, Portnoy is also up on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46511927/dave-portnoys-10-million-elon-musk-bet-pays-off-as-tesla-soars-12-in-two-weeks-thats-a-million-bucks"> his recent buy</a> of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock. Portnoy invested $10 million in Tesla two weeks ago with shares down on bearishness from a battle between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
While the initial investment was down shortly after Portnoy's trade, Tesla stock is now up around 12% from his purchase, surpassing his original goal of making 10% or a couple million bucks on the short-term trade.

Dave Portnoy Says 'I Want To Cry' After Selling XRP Token Before New 7-Year Highs

Being rich isn't about having a six-car garage. It's about having habits that quietly, steadily build wealth while everyone else is upgrading phones and wondering where their paycheck went.
These seven habits come up again and again among millionaires. And none of them require a windfall or a finance degree—just consistency and discipline.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Pay Yourself First</h2>
Before bills, before brunch, before that "treat yourself" impulse—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45483330/are-you-rich-or-just-upper-middle-class-heres-the-net-worth-and-income-it-takes-to-be-considered-wealthy">wealthy people</a> pay themselves first. That means setting up automatic transfers into investment or savings accounts as soon as income hits the bank.
<a href="https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/habits-rich-people-swear-by-to-build-and-maintain-wealth">Kiplinger reports</a> that this is one of the most common habits among the wealthy. It's not about how much—it's about doing it first. Whether it's 10%, 20%, or even $100 a month, they treat savings like a non-negotiable expense.

<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $10.</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Live Well Below Their Means</h2>
Warren Buffett is worth over $140 billion, but he still lives in the Omaha house he bought in 1958 for $31,500. And yes, he still drives a 2014 Cadillac with hail damage. That's not branding—it's behavior.
According to the <a href="https://cdn.ramseysolutions.net/media/company/pr/everyday-millionaires-research/national-study-of-millionaire-new.pdf?_ga=2.189822635.1855513792.1692150662-1346847639.1681131637&amp;_gl=1&#x2A;1vlmin0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTM0Njg0NzYzOS4xNjgxMTMxNjM3&#x2A;_ga_02SXDH1H96&#x2A;MTY5MjE1MDY2MS4yOC4xLjE2OTIxNTQwNjYuMC4wLjA.&#x2A;_fplc&#x2A;TlJHNFAlMkI5OEZwODBURmVFWTh5c0FRaGhpTGslMkZ3NFNkRmJvV05qOHVsNnJicEcyV0dJQ3hsVE9mUE9hejNoZUpkMjhkUGJMeVlGbDhOcFpwMkdUUWklMkZaR1pzSG1XeWZSV0pIMWNoM0cxWnpzOXVVN1JiUGI2S1QlMkJNakhCeEElM0QlM0Q.">Dave Ramsey's National Study of Millionaires</a>, which surveyed over 10,000 U.S. millionaires, 94% said they live on less than they make. Nearly one-third drove Toyotas or Hondas. Only 8% drove luxury vehicles like Lexus. The message? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45482749/vincent-chan-shares-tricks-people-use-to-appear-richer-than-their-friends-youre-not-behind">People who look rich often aren't</a>—and the people who are rich aren't trying to prove it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Invest Early and Automatically</h2>
Rich people don't wait to "feel ready" to invest. They start early, keep going, and let time do the heavy lifting. It's boring. It's reliable. And it works.
<a href="https://www.elavateglobal.com/ezines/https/growacornscom/habits-millionaires-have-in-common">Tom Corley</a>, who spent five years studying 233 self-made millionaires, found that Saver-Investors—the largest group in his research—took an average of 32 years to reach millionaire status. They didn't make their money in some big event. They made it in monthly deposits and compound interest.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Build Multiple Streams of Income</h2>
If one paycheck stops, most people panic. Wealthy people don't have to. That's because many of them don't rely on just one income stream.
Corley's research found that 65% of self-made millionaires had at least three income sources. This might include rental properties, dividends, a side business, or freelance consulting. Forbes also highlights income diversification as one of the top traits of financially resilient entrepreneurs. The takeaway? Multiple streams don't just add income—they lower risk.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Read More Than You Scroll</h2>
Warren Buffett <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-favorite-books-2016-10">reportedly spends 80%</a> of his daily reading—annual reports, newspapers, books, not memes. That level of reading isn't necessary for everyone, but the habit of ongoing learning absolutely is.
Wealthy people tend to prioritize books, financial education, and news that helps them make better decisions. That includes biographies, investment guides, and business strategy—not reality TV recaps.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Practice Ruthless Self-Control</h2>
If there's one trait that shows up over and over again in millionaire behavior, it's this: they're exceptionally good at telling themselves "not yet." That kind of discipline isn't just financial—it's psychological.
The connection isn't just observational. The famous Stanford Marshmallow Experiment in the 1970s tested children's ability to delay gratification—offering them one marshmallow now or two if they waited. Years later, the kids who waited scored higher in SATs, had better health outcomes, and managed stress more effectively.
Sound familiar?
Self-made millionaires—according to Corley's research—display a long-term mindset in almost every area of life. They set goals and chip away at them. They don't chase overnight wins. They don't need to impress anyone today if it means sacrificing tomorrow. And they're incredibly consistent.
They're also far more likely to avoid debt traps, skip luxury purchases, and stick to budgets. Ramsey Solutions found that nearly all of the 10,000 millionaires surveyed avoided credit card debt altogether—and most avoided new car loans too. Not because they couldn't afford them, but because they didn't want the financial drag.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Protect What They've Built</h2>
The wealthy aren't just focused on earning more—they're focused on not losing what they already have. That means estate plans, legal structures, insurance policies, emergency funds, and tax strategies.
As Kiplinger notes, wealth protection is one of the most crucial elements of personal finance. One lawsuit or unexpected medical bill can wipe out years of progress. The rich avoid that by planning like something will go wrong—and being ready for it.
None of these habits are magic. They're just boring on purpose. But stacked together over time? They're what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">separate the rich from the restless</a>.
So the real question isn't whether these habits work—it's whether you're using them.

Crypto billionaire and Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) founder Justin Sun will soon be headed to space, taking his place on an upcoming Blue Origin spaceflight after his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/12/24746545/tron-founder-justin-sun-paid-28m-for-blue-origin-flight-heres-how-hes-picking-5-people-to-">winning bid in 2021.</a>
What Happened: Sun is the latest big name to head to space aboard a Blue Origin spaceflight, following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/44019974/katy-perry-gayle-king-lauren-sanchez-headline-next-blue-origin-space-flight-how-jeff-bezos-fiancee-crew-will-make-history">an all-female crew </a>earlier this year that included Jeff Bezos' then fiancée Lauren Sánchez, media personality Gayle King and singer Katy Perry.
"In 2021, I bid $28M for a seat on @BlueOrign's New Shepard rocket — funds that went to @clubforfuture, Blue Origin's foundation, to support 19 space-based charities inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders. Proud to join Blue Origin's NS-34 mission and continue encouraging youth to pursue their dreams in science and space!" Sun <a href="https://x.com/justinsuntron/status/1947308659266187675">tweeted</a>.
Blue Origin's NS-34 <a href="https://www.blueorigin.com/news/new-shepard-ns-34-mission">marks </a>its 14th human flight for the New Shepard program and 34th overall mission. The company, which was founded by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, has flown 70 people above the Karman line, which is the internationally recognized space boundary.
A date for the space flight with Sun will be announced soon.
Also featured as part of the space crew are:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Arvinder (Arvi) Singh Bahal: real estate investor</li>
<li>Gökhan Erdem: Turkish businessman</li>
<li>Deborah Martorell: Puerto Rican meteorologist and journalist</li>
<li>Lionel Pitchford: Englishman who enjoys traveling the world</li>
<li>James (J.D.) Russell: serial entrepreneur, founder Alpha Funds, founder Alpha Aerospace</li>
</ul>
This marks the second Blue Origin space flight for Russell, who was also part of the crew for NS-28.

Why It's Important: Sun was the winner of a bid for the first seat on New Shepard back in 2021, but has yet to go to space.
The $28 million in proceeds were donated to Club for the Future, which picked 19 space-related nonprofits that each received a $1 million grant.
Sun has made headlines in the crypto sector in recent months. He was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45602645/crypto-mogul-justin-sun-dines-with-trump-then-flexes-100k-watch-whats-the-deal">invited to a dinner</a> with President Donald Trump as one of the top holders of the Trump Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) and is also an investor in World Liberty Financial, a crypto-related company with ties to the president's family.
The SEC paused an investigation into Sun and his companies for market manipulation earlier this year, which came after the investments in Trump-related cryptocurrency ventures. The SEC pause may also be what was needed to get Sun to space finally after winning his bid back in 2021.
This marks the fifth human spaceflight for Blue Origin in 2025. Among the bigger names to fly to space with Blue Origin along with pop singer Perry include Bezos himself,&nbsp;William Shatner, Michael Strahan&nbsp;and Dude Perfect&#8217;s&nbsp;Coby Cotton.
Blue Origin reservations are open to anyone 18 years or older by filling out some information, including a description of yourself in less than 500 characters.
The one missing detail in the reservation is the total price involved for an unforgettable &#8220;Window seat&#8221; to space. The reservation form says a $150,000 fully, refundable deposit is collected by Blue Origin after booking a reservation.
This means the space flight with Blue Origin is more than $150,000. Virgin Galactic Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPCE#NYSE">SPCE</a>), which is currently in a pause of taking humans to space, has charged between $200,000 to $450,000 per person for past space flights.
Virgin Galactic is expected to begin taking people to space again in 2026 as long as it passes required tests and its plan stays on track. Previous<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/21945008/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-books-a-flight-with-richard-bransons-virgin-galactic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;reservation holders for flights&nbsp;</a>with Virgin Galactic included&nbsp;Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Bieber&nbsp;and&nbsp;Elon Musk.

Demystifying Allison Transmission: Insights From 5 Analyst Reviews

In the current market session, Glacier Bancorp Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBCI#NYSE">GBCI</a>) share price is at $45.19, after a 1.14% drop. Over the past month, the stock spiked by 7.21%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 0.02%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1753135220_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Glacier Bancorp P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Glacier Bancorp has a better P/E ratio of 24.44 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 14.25 of the Banks industry. Ideally, one might believe that Glacier Bancorp Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1753135220_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
