Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has reportedly been aggressively expanding its artificial intelligence team by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43518599/microsoft-poaches-top-deepmind-ai-talent-behind-googles-podcasting-feature-mustafa-suleymans-zurich-ai-lab-expands">poaching top engineers</a> from Alphabet Inc.'s (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>) Google DeepMind.
What Happened: Over the past few months, Microsoft has hired roughly two dozen employees from Alphabet's DeepMind, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/22/microsoft-google-deepmind-ai-talent.html">according</a> to a CNBC report citing a person familiar with the matter.
Among the high-profile hires is Amar Subramanya, a 16-year Google veteran who helped develop the Gemini assistant. He announced this week on LinkedIn that he's joined Microsoft AI as a corporate vice president.
In June, Adam Sadovsky, a distinguished software engineer with nearly 18 years at Google, made a similar jump to become a CVP at Microsoft.
Sonal Gupta, formerly an engineering lead at DeepMind, also joined Microsoft AI this month. In May, Jonas Rothfuss, a former research scientist at DeepMind, made the move as well.

The hires are joining the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42453191/microsoft-plans-to-lead-the-charge-in-ai-healthcare-as-mustafa-suleyman-recruits-google-deepmind-talent-report">Microsoft AI group</a>, led by Mustafa Suleyman, a co-founder of DeepMind who previously ran the AI startup Inflection.
Why It's Important: As Microsoft ramps up its Copilot products and Bing AI capabilities, securing elite talent has become a critical front in the battle for AI dominance, the report said.
The company's aggressive hiring spree also comes despite its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46240607/microsoft-slashes-9000-jobs-while-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-poaches-20-million-worth-of-ai-talent-from-openai-investor-warns-of-jealousy-envy-and-helplessness-among-tech-workers-in-silic">announcement of 9,000 layoffs</a> globally earlier this month.
The DeepMind defection spree also follows reports that Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has been offering OpenAI staff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041399/meta-tried-luring-openais-top-minds-with-massive-paychecks-but-sam-altman-neglected-to-mention-that-hes-countering-those-offers-says-andrew-bosworth">up to $100 million</a> in signing bonuses amid fierce competition for AI expertise.
Meanwhile, Google has hired the CEO and staff of AI startup Windsurf in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46380738/google-beats-openai-secures-windsurf-technology-ceo-and-key-staff-for-2-4-billion">$2.4 billion deal</a>.
Price Action: Microsoft shares are up 20.71% so far this year and have risen 14.07% over the past 12 months. On Tuesday, the stock slipped 0.94% during regular trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0717">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that MSFT maintains strong momentum across short, medium, and long-term periods. However, despite this solid momentum, the stock's value score remains relatively weak. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance details are available here</a>.

Microsoft Raids Google DeepMind To Supercharge AI Copilot, Even As Redmond Cuts 9,000 Jobs Elsewhere: Report

A wallet associated with space technology company SpaceX transferred over $150 million in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Tuesday, marking its first on-chain activity in over three years.
What Happened: On-chain analytics platform Arkham detected a transaction of 1,308 BTC, worth $154.40 million, from a wallet tied to the Elon Musk-led firm&nbsp;to a previously inactive wallet.&nbsp;This is the first outbound transfer recorded from this wallet since June 10, 2022.
The recipient wallet remains unidentified, with no activity observed since the transfer. In 2022, the same wallet transferred 3,505 BTC, valued at $102 million, to Coinbase.

Kohl's Corp, Krispy Kreme, Lockheed Martin, Circle Internet And Lucid Group: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Editor's Note: This article has been updated to correct an error in the previously stated date and the headline.
President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that a monumental trade agreement has been reached with Japan. The deal, valued at $550 billion, will see Japan investing heavily in the U.S., with America receiving 90% of the profits.
What Happened: Trump emphasized the job creation potential, stating it would generate hundreds of thousands of jobs. Additionally, Japan will open its markets to U.S. cars, trucks, rice, and other agricultural products, while agreeing to a reciprocal tariff of 15% on U.S. imports.
&#8220;Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits,&#8221; said Trump. He added, &#8220;This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it.&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s announcement, made through a post on Truth Social, comes after a series of tense trade negotiations with Japan, where he had previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213186/trump-threatens-35-tariffs-on-japan-as-trade-deadline-looms-not-sure-were-going-to-make-a-deal">threatened tariffs</a> as high as 35% if no agreement was reached. This deal marks a significant shift in the trade relationship between the two countries.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="609" height="447" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/22202216/Screenshot-2025-07-23-at-9.21.06.png" alt="" class="wp-image-996256" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/22202216/Screenshot-2025-07-23-at-9.21.06.png 609w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/22202216/Screenshot-2025-07-23-at-9.21.06-300x220.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px" /></figure>
Screenshot from Donald Trump&#8217;s Truth Social Account
Trump expressed excitement about the strengthened U.S.-Japan relationship. He said, &#8220;This is a very exciting time for the United States of America, and especially for the fact that we will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This deal signifies a significant shift in the U.S.-Japan trade relationship. Prior to this, Trump had escalated trade tensions with Japan, threatening to impose steep tariffs if no agreement was reached before a set deadline of August 1. 
This threat represented a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213186/trump-threatens-35-tariffs-on-japan-as-trade-deadline-looms-not-sure-were-going-to-make-a-deal">significant increase</a> from Japan's current 10% tariff rate on most exports, implemented during Trump's April 2 "Liberation Day" when he imposed duties on trading partners worldwide.

A resurgence of combative, masculine leadership among high-profile male CEOs is drawing criticism from female executives and equity advocates, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/america-girl-boss-women-musk-zuckerberg-dimon-alpha-male-backlash-2025-3">according</a> to Business Insider. The shift has prompted many women to leave traditional workplaces in favor of entrepreneurship and more inclusive company cultures.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alpha-Male CEOs Take the Stage</h2>
The CEOs of major firms—including Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon.com&nbsp; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)—have embraced a more aggressive leadership style in recent months.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1ehaE0bdU">told</a> podcaster Joe Rogan that corporate culture had become neutered, advocating for a return to ‘masculine energy.' On X, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post, <a href="https://x.com/JeffBezos/status/1894757287052362088">said</a> he gave the paper's opinion editor a clear choice: if the answer to leading a new editorial direction focused on free markets and personal liberties wasn't a "hell yes," then it had to be "no." The editor later resigned.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, Tesla CEO Elon Musk brought a chainsaw onstage to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/politics/video/elon-musk-chainsaw-cpac-src-digvid">symbolize</a> his commitment to shrinking the federal workforce under a potential Trump administration. Musk also challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a physical duel in a <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1898612062533956047">post</a> on X.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Reassertion of Old Power</h2>
Female founders, alongside psychologists and sociologists, view this resurgence of aggressive leadership—along with <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/01/10/meta-dei-programs-employees-trump">rollbacks</a> in diverse, equitable, and inclusive programs, mandates for returning to offices, and intensified layoff pressures—as a counteraction. "The backlash is a sign that we're making serious progress," Maureen Clough, host of the "It Gets Late Early" podcast, told Business Insider. "Now we know who these people are, the masks and the gloves are off."
University of Washington psychology professor Sapna Cheryan described it as an effort to reclaim corporate spaces. "It's less about money and more about having the playground they've always had," she told Insider.
Meanwhile, aggressive rhetoric from CEOs appears to influence company culture, according to Business Insider. After Musk used a slur in an X post, a <a href="https://www.montclair.edu/school-of-communication-and-media/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2025/01/Montclair-Social-Media-Study-Musk-and-R-Word-Increase-on-X-1.pdf">study</a> from Montclair State University found a 207.5% surge in posts using the term — over 312,000 in total — along with a rise in related online searches.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Corporate Gains and Entrepreneurial Shifts</h2>
Women now account for 10.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs, <a href="https://www.wbcollaborative.org/women-ceo-report/">according</a> to the 2024 Women CEOs in America report by the Women Business Collaborative. And while that marks progress, representation remains uneven, particularly in the tech sector, where women held just 27% of roles in the U.S. in 2023, <a href="https://www.nashsquared.com/dlr-2023/dlr-2023-press-release-uk">according</a> to data from Nash Squared.&nbsp;
Still, women are making strides on their own terms. A Wells Fargo <a href="https://www.wippeducationinstitute.org/2025-wells-fargo-impact-of-women-owned-businesses">report</a> released last year found that women now own nearly 39% of U.S. businesses, driven by a 17.1% increase in women-led firms between 2019 and 2024.
Facing rigid corporate norms and rising machismo, many women are choosing to build companies that align with their values. "Oftentimes the easiest way to find [flexibility] is to build it yourself," Fabrik CEO Jaclyn Pascocello to Business Insider. In today's climate, she said, she sees more women launching ventures that address gaps often ignored by male-led firms, such as caregiving and women's health. "It really feels like there&#8217;s a ton of women trying to lift each other up."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Founders, Funding, and Frustration</h2>
Despite this momentum, persistent barriers remain, especially in venture funding. According to a Harvard Kennedy School <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/wappp/research/past/venture-capital-entrepreneurship#solutions-to-de-bias-the-vc-funding-process">report</a>, women make up just 11% of investing partners at U.S. VC firms. Only 13% of VC dollars go to startups with at least one female founder, while all-female founding teams receive just 2.4% of funding, a number virtually unchanged over 30 years. Nearly three-quarters of VC firms have no female investing partner at all.

Those challenges, alongside toxic workplace norms, are pushing more women to leave traditional corporate paths altogether. "Even if you have more women, they'll still assimilate to the workplace culture you have," StitchCrew and VEST CEO Erika Lucas told Business Insider. "Women are being conditioned to fit into this meritocracy, or fit within these toxic systems because that&#8217;s all we have."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opting Out — and Rebuilding Better</h2>
Business leaders and equity advocates are responding with new strategies. DEI strategist Virginia Cumberbatch told Business Insider that diversity efforts have been misrepresented and diluted by political narratives. "We've allowed DEI to be a catchall that's kind of lost its meaning," she said, adding that equity must look different across industries and be woven into every dimension of an organization. "Otherwise, it is just rhetoric."
Some women are taking direct action. Founder of parenting platform Leva, Vanessa Jupe, began organizing canvassing efforts and economic blackouts to call out systemic inequities. "The time to play nice is not now," she said.
The girlboss era may be over—but women leaders are no longer waiting for permission. "Nobody should be made into a hero," Lucas told Business Insider. "My hope is that we start building power collectively."

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Etsy Stock In The Last 10 Years

Just as egg prices come down, the cost of beef has risen sharply over the past year to reach all-time highs in 2025. Here's a look at why beef is the latest item driving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46521282/are-you-rich-or-just-comfortable-heres-the-net-worth-americans-think-you-need-for-both">grocery bills higher.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: The average price for a pound of ground beef climbed to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago and marking the first time ground beef has climbed above $6 per pound since recordkeeping began. Steaks averaged $11.49 per pound, also up by around 8% to 12% depending on the cut.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where's The Beef? </h2>
Some of the key drivers for soaring beef prices are shrinking cattle herds, drought conditions, costly feed and rising interest rates. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The total U.S. cattle inventory is at its lowest since 1951, down about 8% from 2019 to 2025, and now stands near 86.7 million heads, according to SupplyChainBrain.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Persistent droughts have reduced pastures, sending feed prices and production costs higher.</li>
<li>The U.S. temporarily suspended cattle imports from Mexico in May due to a parasite outbreak and a 50% tariff on Brazilian beef imports, which starts Aug. 1, could further restrict supply and keep prices elevated.</li>
<li>High interest rates and persistent economic challenges have raised costs throughout the supply chain.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
One of the largest beef processors, Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSN#NYSE">TSN</a>) CEO Donnie King said on the company's most recent earnings call that "beef is experiencing the most challenging market conditions we've ever seen."
Consumer demand remains strong as Americans continue to purchase beef, despite the record-high prices, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.&nbsp;
However, companies like Hormel Foods Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRL#NYSE">HRL</a>) could benefit from increased pork and chicken sales if American consumers make a turn away from beef. 
Alternative protein companies such as Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYND#NASDAQ">BYND</a>) and Impossible Foods could see indirect benefits from the high cost of beef if consumers look for other substitutes. 
What's Ahead: Experts warn that this could be just the beginning of a lengthy period of tight supply and elevated beef prices.&nbsp;
Patrick Montgomery, CEO of the Kansas City Cattle Company, told Axios that the latest price increases were &#8220;just the tip of the iceberg.&#8221;
&#8220;Prices for beef will continue to be tumultuous for the next two to four years,&#8221; Montgomery added.&nbsp;

Beef: It's What's for Dinner — If You Can Afford It

President Donald Trump reportedly had a private meeting with Jeff Bezos, the founder of <a href="http://amazon.com">Amazon</a>, at the White House <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46435552/larry-ellison-surges-past-mark-zuckerberg-to-become-worlds-second-richest-person-as-oracles-ai-deals-with-openai-us-government-drive-massive-stock-surge">last week. </a>
The Details: The discussion between Trump and Bezos lasted more than an hour, although details and the precise timing of the meeting remain unclear, according to sources<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/22/trump-amazon-bezos-white-house.html"> per </a>CNBC.&nbsp;
Neither Amazon nor Bezos's spokesperson provided comments regarding the visit.
Flight data tracked by Jack Sweeney indicated that a Gulfstream G700 jet associated with Bezos landed near Washington, D.C., on July 14 and departed the following day.

During Trump's first term, he and Bezos often clashed, largely due to Bezos's ownership of the Washington Post. However, their relationship has become more amicable during Trump's second term.&nbsp;
Bezos, who also owns Blue Origin, has taken steps to align himself more closely with the administration. He appeared alongside other top tech executives at Trump's inauguration after donating $1 million to the event's fund.&nbsp;
The Trump administration later praised him for reshaping the Washington Post's editorial focus toward themes like "personal liberties and free markets."
In April, Trump described Bezos as "terrific" and "a good guy" after Bezos assured him that Amazon would not display additional tariffs as surcharges on its platform.
More recently, reports have suggested Bezos is seeking to benefit from Trump's deteriorating relationship with Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, who competes with Bezos through Blue Origin and Amazon's satellite venture, Project Kuiper.&nbsp;
After the Trump-Musk fallout, Bezos has reportedly held several conversations with Trump, while Blue Origin's CEO, Dave Limp, also visited the White House. The Wall Street Journal noted that these discussions partly touched on government contracts.
Why It Matters: The Trump administration is<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46544230/trump-turns-to-jeff-bezoss-project-kuiper-as-elon-musk-feud-threatens-spacex-role-in-175-billion-golden-dome-defense-project-report"> evaluating new partners</a> for the Golden Dome missile defense system, a $175 billion space-based shield, as ties with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk have deteriorated.
Among those being considered is Amazon's Project Kuiper, along with major defense contractors.
While Musk's SpaceX has a solid history in government contracts and large-scale space operations, its future role in the Golden Dome initiative is uncertain.
In the meantime, the Pentagon is in discussions with Amazon's Project Kuiper, which operates a low-Earth orbit satellite network.

Trump's Backroom Billionaire: Bezos Meets As SpaceX Fades

Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, just became the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46435552/larry-ellison-surges-past-mark-zuckerberg-to-become-worlds-second-richest-person-as-oracles-ai-deals-with-openai-us-government-drive-massive-stock-surge">second-richest person in the world</a> with a net worth of <a href="https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/">$291 billion</a>, pushing past Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg to sit just behind Elon Musk. But long before either of them topped the rich list, Ellison was one of the few who publicly defended Musk during a time when almost everyone else was tearing him apart.
Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1842128021118947603?lang=en">reposted a video to X</a> last October of Ellison speaking on stage with the caption, "Larry Ellison is awesome." The clip came from a 2018 keynote where Ellison called out the people who said Musk didn't know what he was doing.
"You're saying Elon's an idiot. The guy's landing rockets. And who are you?"
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
That line still circulates because Ellison wasn't just being dramatic — he was mocking the very real narrative at the time. He said people were writing Musk off like he was clueless. Then he imitated one of them.
"Elon doesn't know what he's doing, he'll have to go out for money," Ellison said. "I'm really smart. I work for The Wall Street Journal."
He followed it up by questioning the entire premise.
"Who are you? This guy's landing rockets. You know, he's landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean. And you're saying he doesn't know what he's doing? You ever land a rocket? You're telling me he's an idiot? I just want to know who you are so I know why I should believe you as opposed to my friend Elon."

In 2019, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/23/oracle-founder-larry-ellison-crushed-on-tesla-investment-this-year.html">Ellison revealed he had invested $1 billion in Tesla</a>. He later joined the board.
While others were betting against Musk, Ellison was investing in him. He called him a friend, and more importantly, he backed him when almost no one else would.
Years later, the facts speak for themselves. SpaceX dominates the global launch market. Falcon 9 rockets return from orbit and land on drone ships with routine precision. Starlink is providing global satellite internet. Starship is under development for interplanetary missions.

Meanwhile, Bezos's Blue Origin finally launched its long-awaited New Glenn rocket in 2025. It reached orbit. But the booster failed to land.
That's the contrast Ellison pointed out before it was obvious.
In 2025, Musk appeared on the "Verdict with Ted Cruz" podcast and was asked to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45088387/elon-musk-was-asked-whos-the-smartest-guy-youve-ever-met-he-picked-two-ceos-both-named-larry-and-one-even-said-hed-leave-him-his-fortune">name the smartest CEO he's ever met</a>. He said, "Larry Ellison is very smart. I will say Larry Ellison is one of the smartest people."
The admiration goes both ways. And so does the track record. One made the rockets land. The other called it before anyone else.

$100 Invested In AeroVironment 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Alphabet Inc (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>) could show investors and analysts growth in several areas, such as YouTube, cloud and AI when the company reports second-quarter financial results<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> after market close Wednesday.</a>
Here are the earnings estimates, what experts are saying ahead of the report and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Alphabet to report second-quarter revenue of $93.72 billion, up from $84.74 billion in last year's second quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0722"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
Alphabet has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in 10 straight quarters.
Analysts expect Alphabet to report second-quarter earnings per share of $2.17, up from $1.89 in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in nine straight quarters.
What Experts Are Saying: Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods says that Magnificent 7 member Alphabet has "been anything but" magnificent.
"The company has been facing continual headwinds due to antitrust and litigation risk, AI competition disrupting search and a massive CapEx spend," Woods said in a weekly <a href="https://jaywoods.substack.com/">newsletter</a>.
Woods said Alphabet stock is down year-to-date and 11% off of all-time highs. With shares "stuck in neutral," Woods said the company could see the stock trade higher after the financial results.
"If the company can address these concerns and focus on the positives out of its YouTube and Waymo divisions, it could be back on the upswing."
Woods said technically the stock is in a key consolidation area when looking at 50- and 200-day moving averages.
"The good news is that overall momentum continues to favor the upside."
The market expert said a potential run to $200 could happen from a nice pop on earnings and shares could hit all-time highs.
Raymond James analyst Josh Beck maintained an Outperform rating and $185 price target on Alphabet ahead of the earnings report.
The analyst said search resilience and cloud momentum could be positive surprises in the quarter.
Beck also said the U.S. Department of Justice trial overhang remains, but closing comments were positive and the company might not need to divest its Chrome business.
"Bigger picture, we see the narrative potential shifting from AI Laggard to AI Leader and recommend long positions into GOOG and believe a few insightful comments from the management team," Beck said.
The analyst is looking for management to indicate that it has accelerating AI search momentum, manageable DOJ headwinds and relative AI cost inflation resilience.
Beck highlighted that Alphabet's forward (2026) price-to-earnings ratio of 17.8x trades at a discount to the average of peers like Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia and Apple.

Key Items to Watch: Most eyes will be on AI and cloud when Alphabet reports second-quarter financial results and tries to continue its streak of revenue and earnings per share beats to consensus estimates.
The company's search business continues to see pressure from AI and some analysts and experts point to the growth of AI and chatbots hurting Alphabet's key Google Search unit. Look for Alphabet to share ways it&#8217;s working with AI and making search better.
YouTube could be a positive in the quarter and one of the company's key growth units.
The company said it saw &#8220;robust momentum&#8221; across its business lines, highlighting strength in Google Search, YouTube, subscriptions and Google Cloud in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">the first quarter. </a>

Alphabet (Google) Q2 Earnings Preview: Market Expert Says Mag 7 Stock 'Has Been Anything But' Magnificent

BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKSY#NYSE">BKSY</a>) shares fell nearly 10% on Tuesday after Canaccord Genuity cut its price target <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46541930/agilysys-posts-downbeat-earnings-joins-nxp-semiconductors-and-other-big-stocks-moving-lower-in-tuesdays-pre-market-session">on the stock</a>.
What To Know: Canaccord Genuity analyst Austin Moeller maintained a Buy rating on BlackSky, but flagged reduced financial guidance and government budget uncertainty as key concerns. The analyst lowered his price target from $28 to $27.
Moeller said BlackSky reported preliminary second-quarter revenue of $22.2 million, down 11% year-over-year, mainly due to a sharp decline in its Professional and Engineering Services segment. The analyst noted that revenue delays from long-term contracts affected results, while imagery services grew slightly as customers awaited the full deployment of Gen-3 satellites expected by the fourth quarter.
BlackSky also cut its 2025 revenue guidance to $117.5 million at the midpoint and slashed its adjusted EBITDA forecast to $5 million, citing delays in U.S. government contract activity linked to budget uncertainty.
&#8220;Our $27PT is based on a 5.9x multiple on our revised 2026 revenue estimate of $165M, reflecting delays with the NRO/NGA contracting offices should the FY26 spending bill not be finished by October 1,&#8221; the analyst wrote in the note.
Moeller noted that Congress could reverse proposed cuts to defense imagery spending, pointing out that most of BlackSky's $366 million backlog is with international governments.
BKSY Price Action: BlackSky shares closed Tuesday down 9.85% at $20.13, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro</a>.

BlackSky Technology Stock Tumbled On Tuesday: What Happened?

Krispy Kreme Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) shares are soaring in after-hours Tuesday, continuing momentum from the regular session. Here&#8217;s a look at what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DNUT/short-interest">need to know</a>.
What To Know: Shares of doughnut maker Krispy Kreme closed Tuesday up 26.69% and are up another 24.69% in after-hours despite a lack of company-specific news.
The stock is seeing increased attention across various social platforms on Tuesday, which suggests the momentum may be retail-driven.

The increased volatility in shares is likely being driven by high short interest. 26.35% of the float is currently sold short, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a> data, which makes it a target for momentum traders. Several heavily shorted stocks have seen increased attention in recent sessions after Opendoor Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) appeared to spur a resurgence of meme stock traders.
Opendoor&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/07/46522335/opendoor-stock-frenzy-continues-is-40-per-share-the-next-stop">recent surge</a> sparked some frenzied buying in related names like Offered Solutions and Rocket Companies. Original meme stocks GameStop and AMC Entertainment have also perked up in recent days. 
Stocks with high short interest have seen several short-lived periods of increased attention since traders across&nbsp;Reddit‘s r/WallStreetBets ignited a massive short squeeze in&nbsp;GameStop and AMC in early 2021.
Other heavily shorted names that recently gained momentum include Kohl&#8217;s Corporation, Beyond Meat and Newegg Commerce, among others. 
DNUT Price Action: Krispy Kreme shares were up 24.69% in after-hours, trading at $5.15 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Krispy Kreme has exhibited strong price momentum and is trading significantly above its 50-day moving average of $2.99 and 100-day moving average of $3.98. The stock&#8217;s current price in after-hours is approaching the 200-day moving average of $7.05, indicating potential resistance ahead. Support may be found near the recent low of $3.26, according to Benzinga data.
