In a recent episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKNvZZ-5qDw">The Ramsey Show</a>,&#8221; a couple in their 70s shared how they went from being completely debt-free to falling back into financial chaos. After completing Dave Ramsey&#8217;s Financial Peace University in 2016, they had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-pay-off-debt">paid off all their debt</a> by 2017 and even bought their mobile home in cash. But today, they owe $46,000.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">13 Credit Cards and a $29,000 Loan Offer</h2>
&#8220;We were debt-free completely,&#8221; the wife, who called in, said. But since 2017, they opened 13 credit cards and took out three personal loans. Their current income is limited to Social Security: $1,600 a month from her, $1,500 from her husband. Her husband picks up odd handyman jobs, but it's not enough to cover their expenses.

</ul>
Recently, they applied for a $29,000 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-personal-loans-for-debt-consolidation">debt consolidation loan</a> and wanted Dave's advice before accepting it. &#8220;That will put us into a debt relief loan,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t bought it yet, but we were able to obtain a loan.&#8221;
Jade Warshaw, Ramsey&#8217;s co-host, wasn't having it. &#8220;You&#8217;re still looking to debt as the solution for this,&#8221; she told her. &#8220;You haven&#8217;t learned your lesson that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42746966/debt-and-broke-are-the-norm-says-dave-ramsey-explains-why-normal-isnt-working-for-most-americans-and-how-to-take-control-of-your-money">debt is the issue</a>.&#8221;
The couple insisted they were always &#8220;100% paying the bills on time.&#8221; I don&#8217;t know how we&#8217;ve done it,&#8221; she said.&nbsp;
&#8220;That&#8217;s not a miracle,&#8221; Ramsey replied. &#8220;You paid the stinking credit cards before you did anything else. Then you barely ate, and your husband swung a hammer enough to get it done.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Living Beyond Their Means In An Expensive Area</h2>
The couple lives in Riverside County, California, about 100 miles from their family in Los Angeles. Their mobile home and the land it&#8217;s on are worth around $135,000. But even owning their home outright hasn't kept them afloat.
&#8220;You can&#8217;t even pay the payments on what you&#8217;ve got,&#8221; Ramsey said, noting their $3,100 monthly income doesn&#8217;t stretch far in such a high-cost area. &#8220;You're telling yourself a lie,&#8221; Warshaw added.
Ramsey pointed out the underlying issue: &#8220;We don&#8217;t have math that is sustainable here. The pattern keeps you spending more than you have coming in.&#8221;
See Also: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
He emphasized that debt consolidation is not the way out. &#8220;You cannot borrow your way out of debt,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So no, do not take the $29,000 loan.&#8221;
Instead, he urged them to increase their income, stick to a strict zero-based budget and pay off their debt aggressively. &#8220;If you did $2,000 a month, you would be done in 23 months. If you did twice that, you'd be done in 10 months.&#8221;
&#8220;You have to stop it,&#8221; he said bluntly. &#8220;You're going to wake up at 81 in the same situation. And the 91.&#8221;

Trader Notes: CryptoCon has flagged a rare and historically significant Bitcoin "Super Signal," triggered by extremely low trading volume during a bull market, marking the lowest reading since 2014. 
Historically, this signal has preceded explosive rallies, including a 200% surge from October 2023 to March 2024, and full bull runs following similar setups in 2012 and 2016.
With no confirmed cycle top and volume still depressed, CryptoCon believes this signal could be pointing to a massive upside move on the horizon.

Trader Johnny expects Bitcoin to remain rangebound through the summer, while Ethereum and altcoins lead the charge. He sees BTC joining the rally later in the year, with a potential breakout toward $140,000 by late summer or early fall.

The longer the sideways action continues, the closer we get to a high-probability breakout.

Truist Securities: Second-quarter trends are expected to be a bit slower but re-accelerate in the second half of the year.
Analyst Scot Ciccarelli expects &#8220;additional benefits from Big Lots&#8217; store closures&#8221; and deal flow to improve as competitors fold. Remain buyers and think OLLI is a premier growth stock in small-cap retail.&#8221;
&#8220;Ollie&#8217;s size/scale provides it with the ability to clear huge amounts of merchandise from vendors that other, smaller competitors simply don&#8217;t have,&#8221; analyst Ciccarelli says.
RBC Capital Markets: &#8220;1Q results met the buyside bar and offered enough to keep the bull/bear debate alive,&#8221; said analyst Steven Shemesh.
&#8220;Bulls seem to be latching on to Big Lots lift commentary + continued strong gross margin, while bears remain skeptical of the delta between reported vs. underlying comp,&#8221; he adds.
The company said it opened 25 new stores. Ollie&#8217;s acquired 18 of those stores through Big Lots&#8217; bankruptcy auction. The company ended the quarter with 584 stores in 32 states, an increase of 13.2% year over year.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: &#8220;OLLI remains one of our favorite SMID growth ideas,&#8221; analyst Bradley Thomas writes. &#8220;We also expect OLLI to benefit from the strong closeout environment and customer retention.&#8221;
Price Action: OLLI stock is up 3.22% at $113.45 at the last check on Wednesday.

Ollie's Outpaces Estimates With 13% Sales Jump, Analyst Expects 'Additional Benefits' As This Rival Folds

When Chinese AI startup DeepSeek <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45662927/chinas-deepseek-quietly-drops-r1-ai-update-that-nearly-matches-openai-o4-mini-and-beats-elon-musks-grok-3-mini">unveiled its latest model, R1-0528</a>, last week, it raised eyebrows in tech circles. With performance metrics that rival, and in some areas surpass, OpenAI's GPT-4o and Google's Gemini, DeepSeek isn't just playing catch-up, it's reshaping the AI leaderboard.
And for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF investors</a>, this could be a turning point.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why ETF Investors Should Pay Attention</h2>
AI has been thematic investing&#8217;s golden goose for years. From cloud giants to chipmakers, ETFs that track the sector have mostly been about a rote list of U.S. tech giants. But <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/deepseek">DeepSeek&#8217;s open-source disruption</a>, and what it implies about intellectual property, speed of innovation, and geopolitics, means it&#8217;s time to take a wider view.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/06/45775924/david-mazza-on-mags-magnificent-may-the-breadth-of-the-rally-stood-out">David Mazza On MAGS&#8217; Magnificent May: &#8216;The Breadth Of The Rally Stood Out&#8217;</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Might U.S.-Heavy AI ETFs Be Losing Their Edge?</h3>
ETFs such as the Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) and ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROBO#NYSE">ROBO</a>) are rooted in past AI winners such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet (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>), and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). However, if open-source substitutes such as DeepSeek take hold, particularly in enterprise and developer ecosystems outside China, these ETFs might have their core holdings challenged by competition.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Opportunity In Chinese Tech Exposure</h3>
Assets such as the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) or the WisdomTree China ex-State-Owned Enterprises Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXSE#NASDAQ">CXSE</a>) might stealthily gain from a rising tide within China&#8217;s AI environment. DeepSeek is not yet public, but its pace might improve sentiment toward Chinese innovation, especially if U.S. regulatory headwinds frustrate Western AI titans.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DeepSeek: The New Star Or An Outlaw Operator?</h2>
R1-0528 is not only intelligent, it&#8217;s amazingly effective. The model scored an 87.5% on the AIME 2025 benchmark, made significant jumps in coding exams such as LiveCodeBench, and even doubled the performance on the eerily titled &#8220;Humanity&#8217;s Last Exam,&#8221; according to a report by Tom&#8217;s Guide.
Unlike OpenAI or Google, DeepSeek is staying open-source. Developers can alter and release the model as they please under the MIT License, a move that might spur adoption, particularly in markets that are hesitant to use U.S.-based platforms.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A More Open, Multipolar AI Future?</h2>
Through faster development cycles, open-source licensing, and resource-light training, startups in nations like China are illustrating that innovation doesn&#8217;t necessarily have to be anchored to trillion-dollar market caps.
For investors in ETFs, this could mean adjusting their mindset; moving from pursuing the typical Big Tech suspects to following nascent trends in open-source AI, infrastructure agility, and geopolitical trends.
As AI becomes a multipolar battlefield, it&#8217;s not merely a question of who creates the cleverest bot, it&#8217;s about who owns the tools, the techniques, and the narrative of the market. DeepSeek might not be listed on Nasdaq (yet), but its influence could soon be seen across portfolios.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
The AI horse race is becoming wilder, weirder, and more distributed. Clever ETF plays will track not only the money, but the momentum. And currently, some of that momentum is originating in a Chinese laboratory that just may be preparing the future, one borrowed benchmark at a time.

AI Arms Race: Could ETFs Catch The Next DeepSeek Wave Before It Goes Mainstream

Needham analyst Mike Cikos maintained a Buy rating on Zscaler (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZS#NASDAQ">ZS</a>) and raised the price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast from&nbsp;$310&nbsp;to&nbsp;$350</a>.
On June 3, Cikos attended Zscaler&#8217;s annual Zenith event, the company&#8217;s flagship gathering for customers and partners. In an analyst note, he said that the company unveiled several new capabilities, primarily focused on AI and the expansion of its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g45743698/zscaler-unveils-cutting-edge-ai-innovations-to-stop-attacks-protect-sensitive-data-and-enable-busi" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zero Trust Everywhere initiative</a>.
These enhancements aim to bolster data security and thwart cyberattacks, directly addressing critical challenges businesses face when adopting AI, such as protecting proprietary information and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45683134" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zscaler Beats Q3 Earnings Estimates, Raises Guidance, Increases Investments In AI</a>
Cikos stated that he sees Zenith as Zscaler&#8217;s initial presentation of management&#8217;s expansive vision for a reimagined Agentic SOC (Security Operations Center) powered by AI innovations supporting their Data Fabric for Security.
Concurrently, the acquisition of Red Canary is expected to accelerate this vision by adding domain experts capable of engaging with customer SOC teams, a slightly different client persona, the analyst noted.
Additionally, the analyst pointed out that Red Canary is anticipated to empower Zscaler&#8217;s partners to serve clients better while advancing the Threat Management vision by more effectively utilizing security signals for investigations.
The analyst believes that Zscaler is capable of maintaining its high level of execution as new sales hires increase their productivity and attrition rates decline.
Cikos mentioned that in the third quarter of FY25, Zero Trust Everywhere customers grew over 60% sequentially to more than 210, targeting over 390 by the end of FY26.
The company sees a 6x up/cross-sell opportunity in existing customers, and Cikos views newer products like Branch and AI Analytics as underappreciated.
Cikos foresees sustained ~20% growth, with operating margins eventually surpassing 30% in the long term.
Price Action: ZS shares are trading higher by 1.05% to $298.19&nbsp;at last check Wednesday.

While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">President Donald Trump</a> took to Truth Social and <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114623644825050017">declared</a> May "the best in 30 years," Wall Street's AI infrastructure darlings were busy scripting their own version of greatness. CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>), Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRDO#NASDAQ">CRDO</a>) and Cloudflare Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NET#NYSE">NET</a>) emerged as the month's stealth tech titans &#8211; each riding the AI infrastructure boom to outsized gains.
Leading the charge was CoreWeave, a software infrastructure company turned market sensation, soaring a staggering +191.80% in May. With a year-to-date gain of over 276%, CoreWeave's explosive rally was backed by strong stock price momentum and a blistering RSI (relative strength index) of 79.48 &#8211; clear signals of momentum traders piling in.

With price action blasting through its 20-day and 50-day moving averages by 70% and 137% respectively, the chart screams overextended &#8211; but try telling that to the bulls who just saw the stock break through resistance like it wasn't even there.

CRDO stock's RSI is high at 74.87, suggesting strength remains in the trend. With its 52-week range expanding over 219%, investors are re-rating the stock because they see it as a long-term bandwidth enabler in an AI-heavy world.
Not far behind, Cloudflare rounded out the AI trio with a 38.91% gain in May, bolstered by a remarkable 153.85% rise over the past year.

Known for its role in secure, scalable internet infrastructure, Cloudflare's steady momentum continues with low volatility and a bullish RSI of 84.85 &#8211; territory typically reserved for runaway winners.
In a market driven by artificial intelligence dreams and infrastructure needs, these three stocks aren't just riding a wave &#8211; they're helping build the surfboard. 
Trump may be talking macro, but CoreWeave, Credo and Cloudflare just proved that in the AI arms race, infrastructure is where the real money is made.

Trump Hails 'Best May In 30 Years' — These 3 AI Infra Stocks Delivered Their Own MAGA Moment

Hims &amp; Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>) on Tuesday agreed to acquire ZAVA, a European digital health platform. The deal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/weight-loss" rel="noreferrer noopener">terms were not disclosed</a>.
The acquisition consideration will be 100% cash, funded from the company&#8217;s balance sheet at closing. The acquisition is expected to close in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45742522/hims-hers-announces-plans-to-acquire-zava-accelerating-major-european-growth-across-the-uk-germany" rel="noreferrer noopener">second half of 2025</a>.
The move will expand Hims &amp; Hers&#8217; footprint in the United Kingdom and officially launch the company into Germany, France, and Ireland, with more markets anticipated soon.
In the coming quarters, Hims &amp; Hers will establish its own branded presence in these European markets, leveraging the ZAVA platform.

The deal will significantly strengthen Hims &amp; Hers&#8217; international footprint. Serving more than 1.3 million active customers, ZAVA&#8217;s in-house medical team delivered nearly 2.3 million consultations in 2024 across the U.K., Germany, France, and Ireland.
Hims &amp; Hers will soon introduce a new, personalized dimension of digital health in Europe, providing individuals with access to care tailored to their needs and goals across dermatology, weight loss, sexual health, and mental health. While Hims &amp; Hers will share more about the offerings and their rollout in the coming months, they expect the deal to be accretive by 2026.
&#8220;We are positively inclined by the deal and believe HIMS&#8217; existing solutions are highly applicable to similar demographics in Europe, underscoring the potential for international markets to be a durable growth vector longer term,&#8221; a Needham analyst wrote on Wednesday.
Analyst Ryan Macdonald reiterated the Buy rating for the stock, raising the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HIMS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from $61 to $65</a>.
While HIMS did not disclose any financial metrics for ZAVA, Needham estimates ZAVA revenues in the range of $100 million annually.
&#8220;We conservatively estimate the weight loss opportunity alone in ZAVA&#8217;s existing markets to expand HIMS&#8217; Total Addressable Market by $52.1 billion,&#8221; analyst Macdonald wrote.
Price Action: HIMS stock is down 2.24% at $53.51&nbsp;at the last check on Wednesday.

Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese is questioning how successful Ciena (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) will be over the next one to five years, taking on companies like Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).
What Happened: The analyst maintains <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CIEN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a Neutral</a> rating and raised the price target from $65 to $85, according to a Tuesday research note.
Ciena will report second-quarter results on June 5 before the open.
Genovese expects good results and guidance, likely slightly ahead of consensus, driven by substantial revenues and orders.
Ciena&#8217;s upcoming report comes as the market for transceivers and components changes. The proliferation of AI-focused data centers, for example, demands extremely high bandwidth.
Ciena uses Coherent lite optics — a lightweight, more cost-effective version of high-end coherent optics — and IM/DD (Intensity Modulation/Direct Detection).
The analyst questioned whether the company would increase fiscal 2025 revenue guidance from its current &#8220;high-end of 8% to 11%&#8221; range.

Why It Matters: Genovese wonders whether the company will achieve mid-40s gross margins within the next three years and whether there is upside to mid-40s gross margins in 3 to 5 years if it successfully wins a share of AI Data Center campus, fabric, and cluster applications.
Genovese said Ciena sells Metro, LH, and Subsea Data Center Interconnect to every major U.S. Cloud Provider and Metro and LH Optical transport. U.S. Tier 1 Telco orders continue to be significantly higher than a year ago.
Second-quarter revenues should hover around $1.09 billion. That&#8217;s up 20% year over year versus an easy comp and up 2% quarter over quarter.
Genovese noted that Ciena could slightly exceed second-quarter revenue expectations. The company could also keep its backlog consistent with the prior quarter at ~$2.3 billion or grow its backlog due to strong orders. The consensus hurdles for gross margins, operating margins, and EPS are 42.6%, 10.0%, and $0.52, all of which look slightly beatable, he says.
DCI is Ciena&#8217;s primary market exposure. Genovese said the revenue mix shift keeps going toward Cloud Providers from Service Providers. The company&#8217;s heavy DCI exposure is unlikely to support mid-40s gross margins, he says.
According to the analyst, significant progress in generating inside-the-datacenter and software revenues will be needed to achieve sustainable mid-40s gross margins.
Price Action:&nbsp;CIEN stock is up 1.63% at $84.62 at last check Wednesday.
