Shares of Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) are treading water on Monday. New reports indicate the company is initiating another round of layoffs impacting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44149088/disney-cuts-200-jobs-across-abc-and-tv-networks-amid-restructuring">several hundred employees globally</a>.
What To Know: Disney is reportedly cutting hundreds of roles. The cuts span multiple departments, including film and television marketing, publicity, casting, development and corporate finance, according to<a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/disney-mass-layoffs-tv-film-finance-departments-1236415786/"> the Variety.</a>
The layoffs are part of Disney's ongoing efforts to streamline operations and boost efficiency across its sprawling media and entertainment business. While no teams are being eliminated in full, the reductions will reportedly impact staff in both domestic and international roles. 
The fresh round of job cuts follows multiple rounds of layoffs over the past year, including nearly 200 job cuts in TV and ABC News in March and around 300 corporate roles slashed in September 2024.
The efficiency push comes as Disney continues to restructure under CEO Bob Iger, who returned to the helm in late 2022 and led a major cost-cutting effort in 2023 that resulted in more than 8,000 job losses. The current cuts appear to be more targeted.
Despite the layoffs, Disney's recent financial performance has remained strong. The company beat Wall Street earnings expectations for the first quarter of 2025 and maintained guidance for the full fiscal year when it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45251203/disney-rides-strong-subscriber-growth-and-movie-hits-lifts-forecast-with-1-billion-streaming-goal">reported results</a> last month. Management projected a 16% increase in earnings per share and guided for double-digit growth in operating income for both the entertainment and sports segments, along with 6% to 8% growth in its parks and consumer products division.
&#8220;Our outstanding performance this quarter—with adjusted EPS up 20% from the prior year driven by our Entertainment and Experiences businesses—underscores our continued success building for growth and executing across our strategic priorities,&#8221; Iger said in May.
DIS price Action: Walt Disney shares were down 0.15% at $112.87 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Shanghai-based NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) will likely provide a glimpse at the electric vehicle sector and new car brands when it releases its first-quarter financial results on Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">before the market opens</a>.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect first-quarter revenue of $1.73 billion—up from $1.37 billion in last year's first quarter. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0602">According to Benzinga Pro</a>, NIO missed analyst estimates for revenue in four straight quarters and six of the last seven quarters overall, 
Analysts also anticipate a loss of 37 cents per share, compared to a loss of 33 cents per share in last year's first quarter, as <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/news/2902405/nio-nio-anticipates-strong-q1-performance-with-revenue-surge">reported </a>by GuruFocus.

Guidance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44433594/nio-misses-revenue-estimates-lowers-q1-forecast-amid-stronger-competition-in-ev-market">from the company</a> calls for revenue to be in a range of $1.694 billion to $1.762 billion.

Key Items to Watch: NIO delivered 89,225 vehicles year-to-date, a figure that is up 34.7% from last year.
For May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45717955/chinas-nio-clocks-13-deliveries-growth-in-may-tesla-lags">the EV company reported</a>:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>I23,231 vehicles delivered, up 13.1% year-over-year.</li>
<li>13,270 Nio brand deliveries, </li>
<li>6,281 ONVO deliveries</li>
<li>3,680 FIREFLY deliveries.</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45134925/chinese-ev-companies-see-huge-april-growth-xpeng-surges-273-in-deliveries">In April,</a> the company reported 23,900 deliveries, which is up 53% compared to last year. ONVO deliveries were 4,400, and FIREFLY had begun the initial deliveries.
ONVO and FIREFLY, the company's family-oriented and smaller high-end vehicles, respectively, are contributing to its strong delivery growth.
These new brands allow Nio to target more consumers and come after the company led the way as the top electric vehicle company in China for vehicles priced over RMB300,000.
ONVO brand, targeting the mainstream mass market, will concentrate on increasing its sales volume and enriching its product portfolio. Firefly's model will be officially launched and begin deliveries in April, serving as a key driver for our future international expansion," Nio CEO William Bin Li said after fourth-quarter results.
With deliveries already reported for April and May, investors and analysts will likely focus on the company&#8217;s guidance for the rest of the fiscal year and any commentary on tariffs.
Chinese stocks like Nio have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45348699/us-listed-chinese-stocks-rally-as-countries-agree-to-ease-import-tariffs">highly volatile</a> due to tariffs placed on imports into the U.S. A recent pause to higher tariffs on Chinese imports has helped boost Chinese stocks temporarily.
NIO Price Action: Nio stock was down 0.71% to $3.52 at last check on Monday, compared to a 52-week trading range of $3.02 to $7.71. It is down 23.2% year-to-date in 2025.

MSAI

MultiSensor AI Appoints Asim Akram As CEO And President To Lead Strategic Growth Objectives, June 23, 2025

Let's be clear…&nbsp;There are no emergency rate cuts coming.
The economy is way too strong. So if you're betting on a Fed pivot to bail out your portfolio… don't.
Why do I say that? Because the data says it.
The market says it. Even bonds say it.
"Higher for longer" isn't a theory anymore. It's the base case.
Fed Funds Futures are now pricing in a near 100% chance the Fed pauses in June.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfDqKxgbPIDhVG-nHukmb-wEfrn6lYg2G3S1asCZBOvUA-x5iByMYgaOR8TQzdinFBMI0j6gf_nR9cQw5oW3wb15XqwpHyBYod3TWSi3m_0Xbir6yB_gbhLi7ILSg85iTOmhp4EMA?key=9aRcG5tIW5wbjKgpchg-0g" alt="" /></figure>
Not only that… there's a 65% chance we only get two cuts all year. That's it. That's the story.
Not because inflation is spiraling out of control (thank goodness). But because the economy simply doesn't need rate cuts.
People are spending. The consumer is holding up. There's no hard landing to fix.
Q1 GDP dipped, but that was just frontloaded imports ahead of tariff hikes. Q2?
The Atlanta Fed is now forecasting +3.8% QoQ growth.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcNjNv7p9GrWRhIvz7SSSl3M-a9vSlcqPjz2b6410mDkpSwlbGwZak5A12CSyxoIkPgmQHbHE1qLLUboLDdAvkDoaYeXptdj9d0gIBrIu1SP4tvtL9mfpkILqQfzvCVmPTyD89_Bg?key=9aRcG5tIW5wbjKgpchg-0g" alt="" /></figure>
That's not just resilience… that's strength. Why would the Fed stimulate into that?
It'd be like handing more candy to kids already bouncing off the walls.
So what do we do? We stay with long-term risk assets. We buy the dips. We don't let fear dictate strategy.
That doesn't mean we won't see corrections. But if the crowd starts panicking about recession again?
Fade it. That's exactly what we did on April 9, at the bottom.
We loaded up on $HOOD… and even took a swing at $ROBN, the REX Shares 2x levered Robinhood ETF.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdmfMS4_zFvDkhEYnwXV0NkCh0Rk0hIJDpsAROdEUqmtm5fgf-Odjx8Jok_sqp-KHajC12Cms22liGRGfmViEf1OOIpe6GjHMNuyTSh8J9wk8Vbs8Q4JHu6pLYJrqnOU2ZheUHHgA?key=9aRcG5tIW5wbjKgpchg-0g" alt="" /></figure>
That trade worked. And it worked because we ignored the noise and trusted the data.
So stay sharp. Be cautious. Manage your risk.
But don't wait for the Fed to save you. Because this year, they won't.

The Fed Will Not Save Us This Year

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) shares are trading higher Monday following reports that the company is preparing to launch a fully automated ad creation system powered by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45722563/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-to-offer-fully-automated-ai-based-ad-creation-by-2026-report\"> artificial intelligence by the end of 2026. </a>
What To Know: The move marks a significant step in CEO Mark Zuckerberg's broader strategy to expand the company's AI capabilities and transform how brands create and deliver advertisements.
According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-aims-to-fully-automate-ad-creation-using-ai-7d82e249">The Wall Street Journal</a>, the planned system will allow businesses to upload a product image and define a budget, after which Meta's AI will handle the rest, generating visuals, videos and ad copy, selecting the target audience on Facebook and Instagram and even recommending budget adjustments. The system is also expected to tailor ad content in real time based on user-specific data such as location.
This represents a major evolution from Meta's current tools, which already use AI to produce minor variations of ads and optimize targeting. Meta has also launched an "Early Release" program, giving select advertisers early access to its generative AI tools, which are already delivering positive results.
While the shift toward full automation has raised concerns among some large brands about losing control over messaging and strategy, Meta's advertising business continues to perform strongly. In its most recent earnings report, the company noted a 5% increase in ad impressions and a 10% rise in average price per ad year-over-year.
The broader context includes trade and policy uncertainty, including potential impacts from President Donald Trump's newly announced tariffs, which could affect ad budgets across the tech sector. Nevertheless, Meta's push into AI-driven ad solutions may help the company and its clients adapt to evolving economic and regulatory conditions.
META Price Action: Meta shares were up 3.74% at $671.88 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

What's Going On With Meta Shares Today?

Edward and Ludmila Smolyansky, beneficial owners of approximately 27% of Lifeway Foods (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LWAY#NASDAQ">LWAY</a>), today issued a statement expressing serious concerns about the company's Q1 2025 performance and what they describe as the Board's ongoing pattern of poor governance and misaligned priorities.
Although Lifeway reported a 44% year-over-year increase in GAAP earnings per share, Mr. Smolyansky emphasized that this was entirely due to a one-time $3.4 million gain from an investment sale, not from any improvement in the company's underlying kefir business. He and Mrs. Smolyansky cited several troubling operational trends, including:
<ul>
<li>Income from operations declined nearly 55% year-over-year. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Operating margin fell to approximately 3.4%, down from 7.9% in Q1 2024. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Net sales increased only 3.3% year-over-year and declined 1.8% sequentially from Q4 2024. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Revenue from the 2021 acquisition of Glen Oaks, a&nbsp;Laguna Beach, California-based drinkable yogurt company lacking any tangible assets, has declined approximately 50% to date. Notably, only two Directors – Edward and Ludmila Smolyansky – voted against this acquisition. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Selling expenses rose sharply – up 27% year-over-year and 35% from Q4, without a corresponding increase in sales. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Gross margin contracted by 180 basis points to 24.0%;&nbsp;SG&amp;A expenses climbed to 20.2% of sales. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Insider stock sales by Director&nbsp;Pol Sikar and CEO Julie Smolyansky following the May 15, 2025 earnings release raised additional concerns about management's confidence in the company's outlook.</li>
</ul>
Ludmila and Edward Smolyansky also criticized the Board's governance and oversight, highlighted by its handling of the Danone offer, the subsequent attempt to nullify the Company's 1999 Stockholder Agreement with Danone, and the award of $8.5 million in cash and shares granted to CEO/Chair Julie Smolyansky by the Board shortly thereafter. The Smolyanskys also shared their views that:
<ul>
<li>The combined CEO/Chair role, while occupied by Ms. Smolyansky, has been a significant governance failure resulting in lack of independent oversight; &nbsp;</li>
<li>The handling of&nbsp;Danone's offer and subsequent attempt to sever ties may have market implications that the Board has failed to consider; &nbsp;</li>
<li>The questionable compensation awards granted to CEO/Chair Julie&nbsp;Smolyansky at the end of 2024 were in flagrant opposition to shareholder sentiment conveyed at last year's annual meeting; and &nbsp;</li>
<li>Only a reconstituted Board with an independent committee tasked with assessing strategic alternatives and potentially re-engaging with&nbsp;Danone, in the manner deserving of a 25-year investor and partner, can produce a more favorable outcome for shareholders.</li>
</ul>

27% Holders Of Lifeway Foods, Edward And Ludmila Smolyansky, Criticize Q1 2025 Results And Board Governance, Citing Weak Operating Performance Masked by One-Time Gain, Declining Margins, Rising Costs, Insider Stock Sales, And Mismanagement Of Danone Offer; Calls For Board Overhaul And Independent Review Of Strategic Alternatives

Forecasting The Future: 29 Analyst Projections For UnitedHealth Group

In the current market session, Pure Storage Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSTG#NYSE">PSTG</a>) share price is at $53.20, after a 0.73% decrease. Over the past month, the stock increased by 12.65%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 11.32%. 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/2025/1748890831_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Pure Storage P/E Compared to 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 15.49 in the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry, Pure Storage Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 141.03. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Pure Storage Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748890831_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
