American Businessman James Cameron has reportedly offered $5 billion to acquire Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), the world's largest producer of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/metals" rel="noreferrer noopener">high-carbon ferrochrome</a> by chrome content.
ERG has been headquartered in Luxembourg since its $4.5 billion privatization in 2013, and Kazakhstan's government has a 40% stake in its global operations, which span 16 countries and four continents. Besides ferrochrome, the company is Kazakhstan's sole high-grade aluminum producer and has notable operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, processing copper and cobalt.
The company is ramping up production and exploration of rare earth metals critical to green energy, electronics, and defense industries. China controls over 85% of the global rare earth supply chain, making new supply particularly valuable.
Earlier this month, Kazakhstan announced a rare earth metal deposit, with an estimated 20 million metric tons at depths up to 300 meters. These reserves, containing metals like neodymium, cerium, lanthanum, and yttrium, at an average content of 700 grams per ton, make the country's reserves behind only China and Brazil.
Cameron, who shares the name with the unrelated filmmaker, is a former chairman of the London-listed mining firm Petropavlovsk &#8211; a former FTSE 250 gold producer that operated extensively in Russia.
The company was once one of the largest gold miners listed in London before geopolitical challenges and internal management conflicts led to its collapse.
The proposal, first <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/us-investor-cameron-offers-5-billion-kazakh-mining-giant-erg-letter-shows-2025-04-21/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> by Reuters, outlines Cameron's intent to finance the acquisition with Goldman Sachs in preliminary talks to advise on the deal.
"The financing will come from a combination of my own funds, as well as equity contributions from other investors in the United States, and possibly Australia and the Middle East," the letter said.
ERG refuted the offer in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eurasianresources.lu/en/news/Eurasian%20Resources%20Group%20refutes%20negotiations%20to%20sell%20the%20C" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a>, claiming there are no negotiations to sell the firm, which proceeds with "business-as-usual," focusing on long-term growth and creating value for all stakeholders.
The firm's chairman and one of its founders, Alexander Mashkevich, passed last month, leaving Patokh Chodiev as the sole founder among the current shareholders and creating an opportune moment for an external bidder.

$5 Billion Bid From US Investor For ERG Opens Speculations For Kazakhstan's Rare Earth Riches

SoFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) shares are trading higher by 6.03% to $11.34 during Tuesday&#8217;s session. The company earlier announced it is broadening its reach into alternative investments by expanding access to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44921283/sofi-provides-access-to-new-class-of-cosmos-fund-with-sole-exposure-to-anthropic-pomona-investment">private market funds</a>, including a new class of the Cosmos Fund with exclusive exposure to AI company Anthropic.
What To Know: This move builds on SoFi's December 2024 launch with Templum, which included access to a closed class of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42370672/sofi-makes-spacex-accessible-for-retail-investors">Cosmos Fund tied to SpaceX</a>, as well as the Pomona and StepStone Private Markets Funds.
The move aims to meet surging demand among retail investors—87% of whom expressed interest in investing in private companies, particularly in sectors like tech, AI, and healthcare, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44921283/sofi-provides-access-to-new-class-of-cosmos-fund-with-sole-exposure-to-anthropic-pomona-investment">according to a 2024 SoFi survey</a>. Traditionally, such investments have been limited to institutions and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
By offering curated exposure to high-growth private firms, SoFi could differentiate itself from traditional brokerages and deepening member engagement.
The recent partnership with Templum also stands to enhance infrastructure and access, potentially positioning SoFi to capture a greater share of the retail investing market while expanding its footprint in the alternative investment space.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SOFI Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for SoFi Technologies &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of SoFi Technologies, which is trading at $11.34 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 8.82 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SOFI has a 52-week high of $18.42 and a 52-week low of $6.01.

SoFi Expands Access to Private Markets: What's Going On?

After Monday&#8217;s broad-based sell-off — triggered by renewed pressure from President Donald Trump on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, raising concerns over the integrity of central bank independence — Wall Street bounced back with strength on Tuesday, buoyed by upbeat signals from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">the corporate earnings season.</a>
By midday in New York, major indices were up by nearly 3%, with all 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500 trading in positive territory. Consumer discretionary stocks led the rally.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged over 1,000 points, breaking above the 39,200 mark, as bullish momentum swept across Wall Street. Only a few S&amp;P 500 stocks remained in negative territory.
At a JPMorgan-hosted event in Washington, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted at a potential de-escalation in tensions with China, further supporting risk sentiment.
Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) surged nearly 5% as investors looked ahead to the company's first-quarter earnings report, due after the closing bell.
In the bond market, after two sessions of rising Treasury yields, a modest pullback suggested some investors saw an opportunity to buy as long-dated yields neared the 5% threshold.
On the commodities front, gold briefly touched $3,500 per ounce overnight before retreating to $3,420 amid an improvement in equity market sentiment. Oil jumped 2.3%, with WTI crude reaching $64 per barrel, while copper gained 2.8%.
The cryptocurrency market also reflected a broader risk-on mood. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rallied 4% to $91,000, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) advanced more than 7% to $1,700.

Halliburton Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) shares are trading lower after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44918007/halliburton-announces-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter 2025 results</a>. The decline follows CEO Jeff Miller&#8217;s commentary during the earnings call, during which he noted that international revenue is expected to be flat or slightly lower year-over-year.
Additionally, he projected a second-quarter earnings impact of $0.02 to $0.03 per share due to ongoing trade challenges.
The company reported a revenue decline of 6.7% year-over-year to $5.417 billion, beating the consensus of $5.283 billion. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.60, down from $0.76 a year earlier and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">in line with analyst expectations</a>, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44922403/watching-halliburton-shares-falling-during-conf-call-ceo-reportedly-says-yoy-international-revenue-t" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Operating income stood at $431 million (-56.3% YoY), with an operating margin of about 7.9%, down 905 bps YoY.
Completion and Production revenue fell 7.5% YoY to $3.12 billion, with $531 million operating income. The decline was driven by weaker pressure pumping and tool sales in the Western Hemisphere, partially offset by gains in the Middle East.
Drilling and Evaluation revenue declined 6% YoY to $2.3 billion, with operating income down 12% YoY to $352 million. Lower drilling and project activity in Mexico and the Middle East drove the drop, partly offset by stronger fluid services in the region.
HAL&#8217;s North American revenue fell 12% to $2.2 billion in Q1 2025, driven by lower U.S. stimulation and Gulf tool sales, partly offset by stronger artificial lift and drilling activity.
International revenue slid 2% sequentially to $3.2 billion. Latin America dropped 19% YoY to $896 million, driven by lower activity in Mexico and weaker tool sales, partly offset by stronger drilling services in Argentina, Brazil, and the Caribbean.
Europe/Africa revenue increased 6% year-over-year to $775 million, supported by stronger activity in Norway, Namibia, and the Caspian region, partially offset by lower activity in Senegal and Italy.
Middle East/Asia revenue also rose 6% to $1.5 billion, driven by increased operations in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, with some offset from reduced activity in Australia, Malaysia, and Oman.
During the quarter, Halliburton repurchased $250 million in stock, paid a $0.17 dividend, spent $30 million on SAP, and recorded $356 million in pre-tax charges.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was $377 million, and free cash flow was $124 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.804 billion as of March 31, 2025.
Halliburton CEO Jeff Miller highlighted strong international tender activity and key offshore wins extending into 2026: &#8220;Customers awarded Halliburton several contracts that demonstrate the strength of our value proposition and the power of our service quality execution.&#8221;
Price Action: HAL shares traded lower by 4.77% at $20.88 at the last check on Tuesday.
