The crisis at UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) continues to deepen, with a new criminal investigation by federal authorities, following the abrupt departure of its CEO, and a steep decline in stock prices.
What Happened: UnitedHealth is reportedly under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for possible Medicare fraud, according to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/unitedhealth-medicare-fraud-investigation-df80667f">report</a>, which cited people familiar with the matter.
The probe, overseen by the DOJ&#8217;s criminal healthcare fraud division, has reportedly been active since at least last summer and is focused on UnitedHealth's Medicare Advantage business practices. It marks the latest in a string of challenges facing the health insurance giant in recent months.
This comes just a day after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">sudden exit of CEO</a> Andrew Witty, who has since been replaced by the company&#8217;s Chairman and former CEO, Stephen Hemsley. 
While the DOJ has struggled to secure convictions in past Medicare fraud claims against UnitedHealth, the criminal nature of the current probe raises the stakes significantly as the company contends with mounting regulatory scrutiny and a declining stock price.
The company, however, has since responded to Benzinga in a press release stating that it has not been notified of any supposed criminal investigation by the DOJ. It further adds that WSJ&#8217;s reporting is deeply irresponsible, and that the company stands by the integrity of its Medicare Advantage program.

Why It Matters: The company has been <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45424904/unitedhealth-stock-caught-in-a-perfect-storm-falls-nearly-50-since-april">caught in a perfect storm</a> in recent months, with the stock down nearly 50% since April, owing to a string of negative catalysts. 
UnitedHealth decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">suspend its outlook</a> for 2025 early this week, citing the continuing acceleration in care activity, adding to the stock&#8217;s woes. 
This comes amid a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45305392/unitedhealth-investors-claim-company-hid-profit-impact-of-ceos-murder">fresh shareholder lawsuit</a>, which claims that the company hid the potential impact of its former CEO, Brian Thompson&#8217;s murder in December 2024, and the resulting backlash and regulatory scrutiny.
In February, investor Bill Ackman said in a post on X that when a company attacks its critics, the probability of it having committed fraud or being guilty of a crime &#8220;increases substantially.&#8221; 
&#8220;When you find two cockroaches, it is almost a certainty that there are many more. And a half a trillion market cap for a health insurer makes no sense,&#8221; he said.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Expected To Unveil New AI Alliances At Computex 2025 As Geopolitical Pressures Persist Over Tech Sector

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades, including a notable purchase of Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>), a sell-off of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) , and strategic adjustments in cryptocurrency ETFs like the 3iQ Solana Staking ETF (SOLQ.U) and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>).
The Airbnb Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s flagship fund, the Ark Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), acquired 214,624 shares of Airbnb. This move coincided with Airbnb&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45415824/whats-going-on-with-airbnb-stock-today">announcement of a major platform expansion</a>, integrating services and experiences into its app, aiming to broaden its business scope beyond traditional lodging. The purchase reflects Ark&#8217;s confidence in Airbnb&#8217;s growth trajectory, especially with the company&#8217;s strategic shift. On Wednesday, Airbnb shares ended the day at $137.45, the Ark trade was valued at $29.5 million.
The Palantir Trade
In contrast, ARKK offloaded 206,881 shares of Palantir. This decision comes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/05/45408452/stock-of-the-day-palantir-breaks-out-sell-news-rally">amid Palantir&#8217;s stock rally</a>, which has been described as a classic &#8216;sell the news&#8217; scenario. Despite positive earnings, Palantir&#8217;s stock has been on an upward trend, suggesting that Ark Invest might be capitalizing on current market conditions. Ark&#8217;s Wednesday trade was valued at $26.9 million. Palantir shares ended the day at $130.18. On Tuesday, Ark had offloaded 4,791 Palantir shares worth $613,727. Ark has been reducing its Palantir exposure. Currently, the Alex Karp-led company accounts for 5.75% of the total holdings of Ark.
The 3iQ Solana Staking ETF Trade and The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Trade
Ark Invest continues to show interest in the cryptocurrency space by purchasing 550,000 shares of the 3iQ Solana Staking ETF through both Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). This ETF has gained traction since its debut, offering exposure to Solana&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) price movements and staking rewards. On Wednesday, SOLQ.U ended the day at $13.86 in Toronto, making the Ark trade worth $7.6 million.
Meanwhile, Ark Invest reduced its holdings in the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, selling 76,461 shares in ARKF and ARKW. Notably, Ark had on earlier occasions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44855538/cathie-woods-crypto-shuffle-pours-5-2-million-into-newly-listed-solana-staking-fund-dumps-bitcoin-etf-and-buys-robinhood-dip">reduced its exposure</a> to its own Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fund. Wednesday&#8217;s trade was valued at $7.9 million. ARKB ended the day at $103.01.

Cathie Wood's Wednesday Wisdom? Bets On Airbnb's Platform Expansion, Dumps Palantir At Peak

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) attacked President Donald Trump&#8217;s reported decision to parole family members of Mexican cartel leaders into the United States on Wednesday, implying a potential connection to the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin.
What Happened: In an X post, Schumer said, &#8220;Trump is letting cartel family members just come right into our country&#8221; as part of an agreement, deeming it a &#8220;dangerous&#8221; development.
&#8220;How much memecoin did Sinaloa&nbsp;have to buy to make&nbsp;this happen?&#8221; the senior Democrat leveled a serious accusation against Trump, referring to the $2 billion cryptocurrency.

Schumer cited an Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/el-chapo-sinaloa-cartel-trump-border-harfuch-86572a31c88a216da7cd5f33006a0011">report </a>that said the son of Sinaloa Cartel&#8217;s notorious drug lord Joaquín &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzmán, Ovidio Guzman Lopez, who was extradited to the U.S. in 2023, reached an agreement with the administration. Mexico's security chief confirmed Lopez&#8217;s family members crossed into the U.S. last week, the report added.
The White House didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.
Why It Matters: This controversy comes against the backdrop of Trump&#8217;s war on Mexican drug cartels, which he identifies as a threat to national security.
Hours after his inauguration, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43169554/trump-appoints-dea-chief-who-will-bring-ruthless-narco-terrorists-to-justice-not-keen-on-legalizing-cannabis">Trump signed an executive order</a> designating certain international cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.

Chuck Schumer Says Trump Is 'Letting Cartel Members' Into The US, Asks How Much 'Memecoin' Did They Pay

At the height of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/01/36606013/happy-60th-birthday-jeff-bezos-the-billionaire-survived-the-dot-com-bubble-burst-what-if">the dot-com bust</a>, Amazon.com, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) stock cratered by about 94%. However, for Jeff Bezos, the collapse was just noise, because the company's fundamentals were improving.
What Happened: In a 2018 episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations," Bezos recalled the harrowing days of the early 2000s, when Amazon's stock nosedived from $113 to just $6 during the dot-com bubble burst.
"At the peak of the internet bubble, our stock peaked somewhere around $113, and then after the internet bubble busted open, our stock went down to $6," Bezos said. "It went from $113 to $6 in less than a year. My annual shareholder letter that year starts with a one-word sentence and that one-word sentence is the word ‘Ouch.'"
However, the billionaire said that the stock price didn't reflect the reality of Amazon's business. "The stock is not the company, and the company is not the stock," he said. "All of our internal business metrics — number of customers, profit per unit, everything you can imagine — were getting better and fast."
Despite pressure from Wall Street to prioritize short-term profits, Bezos stuck to his long-term vision. "We didn't need to go back to the capital markets," he said. "We already had the money we needed."

Why It's Important: Amazon currently has a market capitalization of $2.243 trillion, making it the fourth most valuable company in the world.
Over the past five years, Amazon's share price has surged 74.50%. In the last 12 months, it has gained 12.39%, though year-to-date, the stock is down 4.53%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Amazon currently holds an average price target of $248, based on insights from 41 analysts. The highest estimate, $305, was provided by Tigress Financial on May 6, 2025.
The three latest analyst updates came from Tigress Financial, Baird and Oppenheimer with an average target of $246.67, suggesting a potential upside of 18.05%.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings gives Amazon a strong growth score of 91.45%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here to see how it compares</a> to other leading companies.

Jeff Bezos Once Watched Amazon's Stock Collapse From $113 To $6, But Held On To The Belief That 'The Stock Is Not The Company' — Here's How He Weathered That Storm

Elon Musk has rockets, robots, AI, and 14 children. That's not a tech empire. That's a family tree with its own launchpad.
And <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44584934/elon-musks-father-defends-tesla-says-son-is-doing-the-right-thing-and-the-stock-would-recover-to-600-by-2025-end-heres-what-analysts-think-about-tsla">according to his dad</a>, Errol Musk, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
In a <a href="https://www.gbnews.com/news/us/elon-musk-son-errol-father-rumour">February interview with GB News</a>, Errol was asked about reports that his son had fathered a 13th child — a claim that remains unconfirmed. Since then, Musk has appeared to confirm what would be his 14th child, a son named Seldon Lycurgus, born earlier this year with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Zilis shared the news on X, and while Musk didn't make a public statement, he quietly confirmed it with a like—signaling his approval to more than 200 million followers.
<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">Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia's birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much &#x2665;&#xFE0F;
&mdash; Shivon Zilis (@shivon) <a href="https://twitter.com/shivon/status/1895564582778978426?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 28, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
When asked about the expanding Musk lineage, Errol didn't flinch.
"Elon's not married," he said. "Marriage is what really defines whether you are doing something outside of a relationship. If he is not married, he can do whatever he likes."
No drama. No pearl-clutching. Just a father casually green-lighting global population expansion from the richest man on Earth.
"There's nothing stopping him [from having a child]," he added. "Only so-called morals that don't exist in two-thirds of the world."

And far from being concerned, Errol called the idea of more Musk kids "wonderful."
He even shared a story about meeting a man with 18 wives and 25 kids. Not to be outdone, Errol joked that he claimed to have one wife himself — even though he's not married either.
As for Elon's own family tree, it's a sprawling timeline that includes twins, triplets, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44948798/elon-musks-ex-wife-and-mother-of-5-kids-says-he-declared-im-the-alpha-at-their-wedding-then-had-her-sign-a-postnup-i-trusted-my-husband">children with ex-wife</a> Justine Wilson, singer Grimes, and Zilis. His first child, Nevada, passed away in infancy in 2002.&nbsp;
"He hasn't spoken to me recently," Errol said, when asked if Elon confirmed the child to him. "He doesn't need to."&nbsp;
Still, he said he believes the reports about Elon's 13th child are "absolutely" true — and seemed completely unfazed by the headlines. In fact, he praised modern fertility options, from embryo freezing to gender selection, calling it "absolutely extraordinary."

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
He added that he'd be "very happy to have another child," but joked it's all about logistics. "It's really a question of finding the right partner, you know. That's what it really boils down to," he said.&nbsp;
As for his 22 grandchildren? Impressive by most standards — but not to him. Compared to some of the men he's met in the Middle East, Errol said, "I'm a beginner."
And if you're wondering what Errol thinks of any <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44367334/elon-musks-second-ex-wife-says-his-dinner-party-silence-made-people-think-he-was-a-genius-but-he-just-found-the-conversation-really-boring">woman involved in Musk's ever-expanding family</a>?
"If you don't marry the man, you're just another individual," he said. "She can go and have as many children as she likes."
To sum up the Musk family ethos: no ring, no rules — just rocket-fueled reproduction and enough kids to start a startup soccer league.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Arch Capital Group Stock In The Last 20 Years

A lot of people fantasize about what they'd do if they had billionaire money—hire a chef, get a driver, finally stop buying store-brand cereal. Mark Cuban? He's over here clipping virtual coupons and doing his own laundry.
With an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43885487/billionaire-mark-cuban-said-the-first-step-to-getting-rich-is-giving-things-up-drink-water-eat-mac-and-cheese-and-save-every-penny">estimated net worth around $6 billion</a>, you'd think you'd think the entrepreneur might be too busy sailing around on a yacht or bossing around a butler to care about Amazon discounts. But in true Cuban fashion, he says no thanks to all of it—and not for the cameras, but because he genuinely doesn't see the point.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>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></li>

</ul>
"I just try to be the same person as I was when I was poor and middle and rich," Cuban told TikTok creator Bobbi Althoff on <a href="https://youtu.be/keN-qiRfU3c?si=fFcKXlGqZuD3OI4-">"The Really Good Podcast"</a> in 2023. "When I was broke, I had a blast. I loved my life. I could wake up smiling, and back then, you just had to not answer the phone because it'd be a bill collector."
Althoff—known for her dry humor and uncomfortable interview setups—met Cuban in a parking garage, where he sat on the floor and casually revealed he doesn't have a butler. "People think you gotta make new friends or you got butlers," he said. When asked directly, he confirmed: "No."
She pushed further—does he do his own laundry? "I'm capable, yeah," Cuban replied. "It takes two seconds. It's just easier."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
And Cuban isn't just skimping on hired help. Back in 2017, in an <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/video/watch/mark-cuban-s-guide-to-getting-rich">interview with Vanity Fair</a>, he explained that he literally buys toothpaste in bulk to save money. "It's so hard to make a return on regular investments that… you're better off buying two years' worth of toothpaste when it's on 50% discount," he said. He sees it as an "immediate return on your money."
And it doesn't stop at dental hygiene. "Any <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44065932/mark-cuban-was-asked-how-hed-invest-100k-his-answer-buy-bulk-toothpaste-and-soup-for-the-best-guaranteed-return-on-investment">reusables or consumables</a> that you have to have—when they're on a huge sale on Amazon, buy them," he said. "Because chances are, their prices are going to go up. That's a real savings that you get to put in your pocket."
Even with billionaire status, Cuban still checks his budget every year, looking for ways to trim costs. He's also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39092288/if-you-use-your-credit-card-you-do-not-want-to-be-rich-warns-mark-cuban-on-the-dave-ramsey-show">famously against credit card debt</a>, advises people to save six months' worth of expenses, and encourages old-school, face-to-face negotiation. "If you're going to take a yoga class and they want to charge you $30, say, ‘I got $20,'" he told Vanity Fair. "They're gonna take it. Negotiating with cash is a far better way to get a return on your investment."

As for hanging out with other billionaires? He knows a few. But most of his friends, he told Althoff, are the same ones he's had since Pittsburgh, Indiana, or early Dallas days. The people who knew him long before the billions.
Cuban's not against wealth—he just doesn't need to flaunt it. "The whole idea of like, get a yacht… it's just not what I would do," he said.
There's a reason Mark Cuban still comes across like a guy you could run into at Costco—and maybe ask for toothpaste tips while you're at it.

UnitedHealth Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) has fallen nearly 50% over the past month, fueled by a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45388424/stock-of-the-day-where-will-the-unitedhealth-meltdown-end">negative catalysts. </a>
Several analysts have slashed price targets on the stock, but one analyst has seen enough and downgraded UnitedHealth on Wednesday.&nbsp;
What To Know: BofA Securities analyst Kevin Fischbeck downgraded UnitedHealth Group from Buy to Neutral and slashed the price target from $560 to $350 after the company pulled its 2025 outlook and announced a CEO transition on Tuesday.

UnitedHealth pulled<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance"> its guidance</a> after the company noticed its Medicare Advantage trend worsening and spreading to more complex patients, like dual enrollments. The analyst said the worsening trend became clear after UnitedHealth completed its March claims and had an early look at April's claims. 
Fischbeck views the health care giant&#8217;s decision to pull its fiscal guidance as a combination of uncertainty around the prevalence of higher utilization rates and to allow time for the incoming CEO to adjust.&nbsp;
Andrew Witty unexpectedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45370370/unitedhealth-group-announces-leadership-transition">resigned </a>as CEO "due to personal reasons" on Tuesday and will be succeeded by Stephen J. Hemsley, who served as UnitedHealth's CEO from 2006 to 2017. 
What Else: UnitedHealth shareholders<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45305392/unitedhealth-investors-claim-company-hid-profit-impact-of-ceos-murder"> filed a lawsuit</a> last week that alleges the company misled investors by concealing the negative business impacts that followed the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43887520/luigi-mangione-back-in-court-friday-supporters-donate-500k-to-suspected-killer">CEO Brian Thompson.</a>
The company is still reeling from a major cyberattack on its Change Healthcare subsidiary and also faces intense regulatory and legal scrutiny, including federal investigations into its Medicare billing practices.
The recent convergence of disappointing earnings, surging medical costs, pulled forward guidance, abrupt leadership change and regulatory challenges have undermined investor confidence and triggered a dramatic revaluation of UnitedHealth stock over the past month.&nbsp;
UNH Stock Price Action: UnitedHealth Group shares ended Wednesday's session down 1.08% at $308.01, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.

When you find your dream home—whether it's the wraparound porch, the walk-in pantry, or just the feeling that it's finally yours—logic can take a backseat.

That's where Stephanie found herself. She <a href="https://youtu.be/z-iypKuypTU?si=a0MCNQScIaYIdzDZ">called in to "The Ramsey Show</a>" from Arlington, Virginia, hoping for a thumbs-up from the personal finance legend himself. What she got instead? A very loud, very blunt: "You're too broke."

</ul>
Stephanie, who said she's been renting since graduating college, recently went under contract to buy a $760,000 home. Her plan? Use the sale of her employee stock to cover part of the down payment, then <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41075540/is-your-401-k-balance-above-average-find-out-if-youre-beating-most-savers">pull the rest from her 401(k)</a>, cash out her Roth IRA, and absolutely not touch her crypto.
"I thought that would be an option to sell my crypto," she told Ramsey, "but it sounds like Freddie Mac and such have not made legislation that allows me to use that."
Ramsey wasn't buying it—literally or figuratively. "No," he said flatly. "If you sell your crypto and you have the cash, sell the crypto."
When she revealed she had about $30,000 worth of it, but wanted to keep it, Ramsey fired back: "You're broke. Sell it."
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
To be clear, Stephanie makes around $130,000 a year and had already put down earnest money. But her remaining cash was tied up in retirement accounts and crypto—none of which Ramsey considered liquid or smart to mess with for a house. Especially not one this expensive.
"You're going to get hit with a 10% penalty plus your tax rate," Ramsey warned. "You're going to get hit with 40%." Then, delivering one of the most memorable lines of the segment, he said, "Dave, I want to borrow money at 40% interest to buy this house… I would say no, don't do that. That doesn't sound wise. And that is exactly what you're doing."
Ramsey wasn't finished. He told her she needed at least $20,000 in the bank after closing or she'd be one bad roof away from financial disaster. "As soon as you move in, crap's gonna fall in," he said. "You're asking for trouble being broke and buying a house."

In the end, his advice was clear: sell the crypto, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45181755/58-year-old-with-no-retirement-says-his-ex-left-him-broke-and-hes-sick-of-working-dave-ramsey-says-he-can-build-a-500k-nest-egg-in-10-years">don't touch retirement accounts</a>, and make sure there's a cash cushion to fall back on. "It's not a blessing to buy a house when you're broke," he said. "You just got the 28-year-old fever. I gotta have a house. Especially a three-quarter-of-a-million-dollar house."
As for the crypto loyalty? Ramsey didn't hold back: "It's cool to sit at some hipster bar and be like, ‘I got crypto.' You're broke. Sell it."
It wasn't the pep talk Stephanie may have hoped for—but it was pure, unfiltered Dave Ramsey. And for anyone rushing headfirst into homeownership with big dreams and zero reserves, the message was simple: the bank may approve you, but that doesn't <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">mean you can actually afford it</a>.

Leading sports brand ESPN is launching a new direct-to-consumer streaming platform under the flagship ESPN brand. Here's a look at what this means for Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming"> the streaming sector.</a>
What Happened: ESPN announced this week that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40946689/disney-faces-more-change-ahead-as-espn-dtc-launch-will-accelerate-cord-cutting-nba-"> its long-awaited DTC</a> streaming platform will debut in the fall with a $29.99 per month price point.
"We are providing everything ESPN has to offer directly to fans and all in one place," ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro <a href="https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/45126967/espn-direct-consumer-streaming-service-set-fall-launch">said</a>.
Pitaro said ESPN is the most "trusted, loved and recognized name in sports."
"Our straightforward approach to name and pricing will help fans cut through the clutter, and provide them compelling options to access all our content within the enhanced ESPN App."
Pitaro said the app will be "the ultimate sports destination."
ESPN announced that users can buy an annual subscription for $299 per year, saving on the monthly cost.
ESPN+, the company's already existing streaming platform, will continue to be offered for $11.99 per month or $119 per year. There is also bundling options with other Disney streaming platforms, including Disney+ and Hulu.
Consumers who subscribe to the new streaming app will get access to seven ESPN domestic linear networks, along with ESPN on ABC and other streaming options. The company said consumers will get access to over 47,000 live events a year, along with on-demand replays, studio shows and original programming.
Additional details about the service, including a launch date, will be announced this summer.

Why It's Important: The new streaming platform could be one of the final nails in the coffin for cable television, with live sports being one of the top reasons consumers have cable over streaming platforms.
Users will now be able to secure the ESPN and ESPN family of channels on their own outside of cable, a move that LightShed Partners analyst Rich Greenfield <a href="https://lightshedtmt.com/2025/05/14/espns-direct-to-consumer-trojan-horse/">said </a>could help Disney.
Greenfield predicted earlier this year that Disney would have two million ESPN DTC subscribers by the end of 2025.
"We feel even more confident after ESPN revealed their pricing and packaging yesterday," Greenfield said.
The analyst said the goal of launching the ESPN app direct-to-consumer could be to get existing ESPN subscribers to watch via the app instead of with a multichannel video programming distributor, or MVPD.
"If ESPN can drive MVPD and vMVPD subscribers to use the ESPN app instead of watching on Comcast, DirecTV, or YouTube TV, they will finally have a direct relationship with their viewers."
Greenfield said this would give Disney more options when it comes to targeting advertising and engaging with fans in other ways, such as through fantasy sports, merchandise and sports betting.
"We believe the best way to judge ESPN's DTC effort is not by DTC subscribers at year-end 2025 or 2026, but rather how many consumers are using the ESPN app in a year to watch ESPN and how much time spent occurs on the ESPN app."
The analyst said getting a "meaningful portion" to watch through the app would be a "big win for Disney."
"If not, the ESPN DTC launch will be a relatively minor event that helps offset the continued decline in multichannel video universe subscribers."
Greenfield highlighted in the recent note that Disney CEO Bob Iger previously called the launch of the ESPN DTC app the biggest development for the sports company since landing Monday Night Football rights in 2005.
DIS Price Action: Disney stock was up 1.35% to $112.94 at market close on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $80.10 to $118.63. Disney stock is up 1.9% year-to-date in 2025 and up 7.25% over the past year.
