Three <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">healthcare-themed ETFs</a> were in sharp spotlight Thursday as the sector got through a wild trading day, fueled by UnitedHealth&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) earnings disappointment and steep stock decline. While insurers weighed down on broad healthcare gauges, a drugmakers rally, led by Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), limited the damage.

ETFs In Spotlight
Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLV#NYSE">XLV</a>)
<ol>
<li></li>
</ol>
1-Day Return (Thursday): -0.6%
Top holdings of this fund are Eli Lilly, UnitedHealth, Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>). UnitedHealth dropped 2.4%, spooking XLV early in the session. The ETF trimmed losses, however, as Eli Lilly rallied 14.3% on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44878381/eli-lilly-rallies-over-14-notches-best-day-since-june-2000-on-oral-weight-loss-drug-results-analysts-react">good weight-loss pill trial news</a>, calling out the group&#8217;s internal divergency. Barring Thursday&#8217;s turmoil, though, XLV is off just 1.5% for the year so far and commands a 17x forward-earnings multiple—below its five-year history and the large-cap S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 20x multiple, according to Barron&#8217;s.
iShares U.S. Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IHE#NYSE">IHE</a>)
<ol start="2">
<li></li>
</ol>
1-Day Performance: +4.6%
IHE surged as investors rotated into large-cap pharma stocks, bolstered by Eli Lilly's rally. The gains came despite a nearly 8% drop in Novo Nordisk (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), Lilly's rival in the GLP-1 space.
SPDR S&amp;P Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPH#NYSE">XPH</a>)
<ol start="3">
<li></li>
</ol>
1-Day Performance: +2.15%
XPH tracked gains across a broader basket of pharmaceutical names, benefiting from bullish sentiment on drugmakers following Lilly's breakthrough.
Market Context: A Sector Of Contrasts
UnitedHealth&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44869920/unitedhealth-ceo-says-high-cost-of-us-health-care-simply-not-sustainable">poor earnings and soft guidance</a> spooked healthcare investors, highlighting how exposed insurers are to firm-specific disappointments and policy-level risks. The 22% decline in the stock not only heavily burdened XLV—where it is the second-largest position—but pulled down peers CVS Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), Humana (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>), and Elevance Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELV#NYSE">ELV</a>) too.
However, the overall message of the day was one of subtlety and not panic. Eli Lilly&#8217;s explosion proved the influence of innovation in developing market-driving catalysts within the health-care sector. It provided the stimulus that helped neutralize weakness within managed care and indicated how investors in ETFs are able to still uncover segments of strength despite sector-wide selloffs.
At the same time, Johnson &amp; Johnson kept its steady pace going with the help of strong earnings.
Device and medical equipment manufacturers like Medtronic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>), Zimmer Biomet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZBH#NYSE">ZBH</a>), and Stryker (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYK#NYSE">SYK</a>) are also attracting investor attention as Wall Street is wagering on secular demand from the aging population.
Takeaway
The health care industry remains far from monolithic. Thursday&#8217;s ETF action underscored the increasing divide between pressured insurers and pharma names benefiting from innovation tailwinds. For investors in ETFs, the message is simple: thematic selectivity is key. Though political headlines and earnings fluctuations might continue to shock portions of the industry, solid fundamentals within pharma and medtech imply there&#8217;s still ample healthy opportunity to go around.

'Boeing Begins Flying Back Planes Destined For Chinese Airlines'- Bloomberg

Mark Cuban isn't interested in patching up the healthcare system with duct tape and buzzwords. He wants to rip it open, throw it under a spotlight, and ask what a lot of Americans are already thinking: Why is this entire industry allowed to operate in complete darkness?
In a February <a href="https://hospitalogy.com/articles/2025-04-04/i-just-wanna-fck-up-healthcare/">fireside chat</a> with Hospitalogy founder Blake Madden—later revisited in April—the billionaire behind Cost Plus Drugs didn't hold back. He took aim at insurance companies, hospitals, consultants, and just about anyone profiting off the confusion. And yes, he said it: "I don't think there's a reason that health insurance should exist."

<li>Invest in the future of digital engagement: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vatom-adv">Own a piece of the $100 billion Metaverse for just $500</a>.</li>

Cuban's not looking to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43932776/mark-cuban-slams-fd-up-healthcare-system-blames-insurance-designed-deductibles-for-patient-bankruptcy">compete with insurers</a>. He just wants to make them irrelevant. "We're going to try to make it so that self-insured employers have no reason to work with insurance companies," he said. In his view, insurers approve plans that restrict access and bury costs behind layers of red tape. Worse, they don't even ask the most basic questions.
"Why is the health of our entire country based on providers who don't know their own f&#x2A;cking costs?" he asked.
Hospitals don't get a pass either. Cuban blasted their refusal to publish general ledgers or disclose what procedures and services actually cost. He called out the culture of secrecy, noting that executives are afraid of what transparency might reveal. "People don't want to do that because they're scared of what it would do for their business."

To Cuban, that's more than just bad management—it's a moral failure. "This isn't the Dallas Mavericks," he said. "This is the health and welfare of our entire country."
And while he proudly calls himself a capitalist, he draws a line when it comes to healthcare. "You don't have to just grab every nickel that you can get when there's this at stake."

Not to micromanage. Not to take over. Just to require the basics.
"You've got to open the books," he said.
He's pushing for laws that would force hospitals and insurers to disclose actual costs, margins, and spending—something he says should be standard practice in any business that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43662970/mark-cuban-says-u-s-healthcare-is-horrific-calls-for-free-medical-school-to-fix-doctor-shortages-and-soaring-costs">deals with life-and-death decisions</a>. If transparency threatens the business model, Cuban's argument is simple: maybe that business shouldn't exist in the first place.

In the current market session, TotalEnergies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) price is at $58.33, after a 0.86% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 7.73%, and in the past year, by 19.47%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744995616_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing TotalEnergies P/E Against Its Peers</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. 
TotalEnergies has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 29.93 of the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is doing just fine, thank you very much. While other streamers fight over scraps, the OG is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/earnings">stacking subscribers, content, and cash</a> &#8211; and throwing punches with live sports and games too.

As Ed Egilinsky, Managing Director at Direxion, put it: "NFLX is experiencing slight buying pressure"—but it's clear investors are feeling more than slightly confident.
Instead of obsessing over sub counts (which it&#8217;s no longer disclosing quarterly), Netflix focused on the future: "We remain optimistic about our 2025 slate," the company said, highlighting returning hits, surprises, and the highly anticipated "Squid Game" Season 3 &#8211; set to drop on June 27.

Not to be outdone, the company is also bringing NFL football to Christmas Day, and just launched its in-house ad tech, signaling it&#8217;s not just playing in the advertising arena—it's aiming to control the field.
And let's not forget games. "Squid Game: Unleashed" has already been a smash hit, and new content is syncing up with the show's return. In the battle for attention, Netflix isn't just streaming—it's scheming.
With the stock now trading at $973.03 &#8211; well above its eight, 20, 50 and 200-day SMAs (simple moving averages) &#8211; momentum looks unstoppable. And with 2025 revenue guidance locked in at up to $44.5 billion, Netflix is streaming confidence straight into investors&#8217; portfolios.
As the company puts it, it&#8217;s building "the most valued entertainment company for members, creators and shareholders." So far, mission very much accomplished.

<li>But a new deal between Google and the U.S. General Services Administration may change that up</li>
<li>The deal, Google says, has the potential to save the federal government up to $2 billion</li>
</ul>
Microsoft has long been the primary software provider for federal government agencies, but <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-slashes-business-software-prices-us-federal-agencies-2025-04-10/">Reuters</a> reports that Google just secured a deal that could put an end to that reign.
According to the report, Google has offered a 71% discount as part of an agreement with the General Services Administration. If adopted, Google says the deal could save government agencies up to $2 billion.

</ul>
The deal comes at a time when President Donald Trump has been working to minimize federal spending. His administration installed Elon Musk as the de facto leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, tasking them with identifying and canceling unnecessary contracts and shrinking agencies.
The GSA, which is responsible for managing federal properties and services, was one of the first agencies targeted by DOGE. A spokesman for GSA told Reuters that, "The Workspace agreement marks a step forward in GSA&#8217;s work with Google and other companies to create cost savings for the federal government.&#8221;&nbsp;
Importantly, the deal will be based on the entire volume of the government, which could lead to more savings for it, Reuters reports. Previous deals, according to the report, have seen separate agencies get separate contracts with different discounts attached to each, making for a more chaotic and less structured system.

Reuters reports that Google is hopeful that the deal, which will be effective through September, will open the door for more extensive government contracts in the future. In 2021, it was estimated by Reuters that Microsoft's share of the U.S. government's software market was 85%, making it the largest player in the space by far.&nbsp;
For some time now, Google has been working on taking a larger share of the consumer, enterprise, and government markets. Its addition of a host of AI features powered by its large language model, Gemini, to its workspace is a perfect example of these efforts.
But it seems Google is looking to change things up at Gemini. On April 2, it said that Sissie Hsiao, who led the development of Gemini, would be stepping down. It's been widely reported that she's set to be replaced by Josh Woodward, who currently leads Google Labs and oversaw the launch of NotebookLM. Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, reportedly said in a memo to staff that the move will help the company focus on the future of Gemini and that Hsiao is not leaving the company, just stepping into a new role.&nbsp;

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Agnico Eagle Mines 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

The housing market is witnessing a disparity between the number of sellers and potential buyers. 
What Happened: The main reason behind this imbalance is the affordability concerns among potential buyers, leading to a rise in inventory and possible price reductions, as per a report by&nbsp;Zillow.
According to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/national-association-realtors-rules-commissions-zillow-home-search-pocket-listings-2025-4">report</a>, sellers listed over 375,000 homes in the previous month, a 32% surge from the month prior, and a 9% increase year-over-year. However, the growth in buyer activity did not keep pace with this surge, resulting in flat pending home sales compared to the previous year.
This mismatch led to a net increase of 110,000 listings, pushing the overall inventory up by&nbsp;19% year-over-year to 1.15 million,&nbsp;the highest since March 2020. Despite the low mortgage rates in March 2025, high home prices have deterred buyers, leading to higher mortgage payments.

Skylar Olsen, Zillow&#8217;s chief economist, told the outlet,&nbsp;&#8220;While sellers leaned on the&nbsp;gas, buyers didn&#8217;t keep up.&#8221; This resulted in&nbsp;23% of listings on Zillow&nbsp;experiencing a price reduction in March, the highest percentage since 2018.
However, Zillow&#8217;s Market Heat Index indicates that the housing market has largely favored sellers over the past five years, only shifting to a &#8220;sellers market&#8221; in March for the first time since June of the previous year.
Why It Matters: The current buyer-seller mismatch in the housing market is a clear indication of the affordability concerns among potential buyers. Despite the increase in listings and potential price cuts, high home prices continue to be a deterrent. 
This situation, if it persists, could lead to a significant shift in the housing market dynamics, with potential long-term impacts on both buyers and sellers. 
The role of factors such as mortgage rates and overall economic conditions will also be crucial in determining the future trajectory of the housing market.

For Sale, But No Takers: The US Housing Market's Awkward Standoff

Erik Prince, a businessman and longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, has reportedly agreed to help the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) secure and tax its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">vast mineral wealth</a>.
According <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-supporter-prince-reaches-deal-with-congo-help-secure-mineral-wealth-2025-04-17/">to</a> Reuters, he reached the agreement before the M23 rebel group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43573846/un-warns-about-escalating-conflict-dr-congo-as-rebels-seize-mining-center">launched a major offensive</a> in January 2025 that saw them seize key cities in eastern Congo, including Goma. Two sources close to Prince, a Congolese official, and two diplomats confirmed new discussions, focusing on improving tax collection and reducing cross-border smuggling of valuable minerals.
With the cash leaks in Congo's mining sector, there&#8217;s a desperate need for structure," said one source. Despite no confirmed links to the U.S. government or military, security contractors remain a possible option under future U.S. support frameworks.
Prince, best known as the founder of Blackwater—the private security firm implicated in the killing of Iraqi civilians in 2007—has operated in Africa for over a decade, providing logistics and security services for mining and oil companies. His companies have been active in Congo since 2015, though previous attempts to deploy contractors, including a 2023 proposal to send thousands to the conflict-ridden east, failed to materialize.
The DRC&#8217;s mineral wealth is staggering. The country holds an estimated 6 million metric tons of cobalt, over 57% of global reserves, essential for electric vehicle batteries. It also possesses around 75 million metric tons of copper, 150 million carats of diamonds, and vast gold, coltan, tin, and lithium deposits, most of which are extracted under poor oversight and often smuggled out of the country. KoBold Metals, a startup backed by billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, has recently approached DRC, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44456007/gates-bezos-backed-startup-makes-move-for-dr-congos-lithium">inquiring about lithium mining</a>, while copper giant Freeport-McMoran (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) has floated the idea about returning to the jurisdiction it exited in 2020.
Smuggling conflict minerals has been a heated topic. The DRC accused and even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42527087/dr-congo-fires-first-salvo-files-complaints-against-apple-over-conflict-minerals">sued Apple</a> before the French prosecutor dropped the charges, classifying them as "not sufficiently well-founded."
Sources say Prince's initial security deployment is expected in the Katanga province, particularly at copper mines near Kolwezi – a region allegedly losing up to $40 million per month in untracked mineral flows. Sources noted they expect contractors to avoid direct conflict zones, instead deploying alongside commodity inspection specialists to improve transparency and revenue collection.
