Forecasting The Future: 6 Analyst Projections For Teva Pharmaceutical Indus

<p>What does it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">really mean to be rich</a>? For some, it's about feeling financially secure—being able to afford the life they want without stress. For others, it's about reaching a specific benchmark, like being in the top 5% of households by net worth. If you're wondering where you stand, the Federal Reserve has the numbers to tell you exactly how much wealth it takes to join the ranks of the financially elite.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Wealth Is Measured</h2>
<p>Every three years, the Federal Reserve conducts the <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scfindex.htm">Survey of Consumer Finances</a>, a deep dive into the wealth, debt, and income of American households. The latest data, collected in 2022, gives us the most up-to-date look at household net worth. The next update won't be <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/other20250228a.htm">until 2026</a>, so for now, these numbers are the best benchmark we have.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>

<li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a></strong><strong> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to be in the top 5% of households, you'd need a net worth of $3.795 million. However, this number varies significantly by age. Younger households need much less to break into the top 5%, while older households require much more due to decades of wealth accumulation.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Net Worth Needed for Top 5% by Age</h2>
<p>Here's a breakdown of the net worth needed to be in the top 5% by age group:</p>
<p>Ages 18 to 29: A net worth of at least $415,700</p>
<p>Ages 30 to 39: A net worth of at least $1,104,100</p>
<p>Ages 40 to 49: A net worth of at least $2,551,500</p>
<p>Ages 50 to 59: A net worth of at least $5,001,600</p>
<p>Ages 60 to 69: A net worth of at least $6,684,220</p>
<p>Ages 70 and older: A net worth of at least $5,860,400</p>
<p>Net worth tends to climb the most in your 40s and 50s, when career earnings peak and investments have had time to grow.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/millionaires-never-earned-six-figures-according-to-dave-ramsey"><strong>69% of Millionaires Never Earned A Six-Figure Salary – Here Are 2 Things They Do To Get Their First $1 Million, According To Dave Ramsey</strong></a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does a High Income Guarantee Wealth?</h2>
<p>While earning a high income can certainly help build wealth, it's not a guarantee. The Federal Reserve's survey shows that many top earners don't have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43539942/are-you-rich-heres-what-americans-think-you-need-to-be-considered-wealthy-2">net worth that puts them in the top 5%</a>.</p>
<p>For example, only 32% of top earners in their 20s have a high enough net worth to rank in the top 5%. That number climbs to just over 50% for those in their 30s and 40s and increases even further for older households.</p>
<p>The reason? Spending habits and investment strategies play a massive role in long-term wealth accumulation. Simply earning more doesn't mean much if you don't save and invest wisely.</p>
<p><strong><em>See Also: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"><strong><em> The percentage may shock you</em></strong></a>.</em></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Does This Mean for Married Couples Trying to Build Wealth?</h2>
<p>For couples striving to build wealth, hitting a specific net worth benchmark is just one piece of the puzzle. You could have millions in assets but feel less financially secure than someone with a lower net worth and minimal expenses. True financial well-being comes from managing debt, maintaining a sustainable lifestyle, and making smart investment choices that align with long-term goals.</p>

Are You a Rich Couple? Here's the Net Worth You Need to Be Wealthier Than 95% of Households

<p><strong>LendingTree, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TREE#NASDAQ">TREE</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter financial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44154278/lendingtree-stock-rallies-after-strong-q4-results-details" rel="noreferrer noopener">results after-hours yesterday</a>.</p>
<p>The company reported earnings of&nbsp;$1.16&nbsp;per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of losses of five cents, and revenue came in at&nbsp;$261.5 million,&nbsp;which beat the analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of&nbsp;$236.84 million</a>.</p>
<p>LendingTree sees&nbsp;first-quarter revenue in a range of $241 million to $248 million, versus the&nbsp;$243.27 million&nbsp;analyst estimate. The company sees fiscal 2025 revenue in a range of $985 million to $1.025 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">billion versus the $1.02 billion estimate</a>.</p>
<p><strong>J.P. Morgan </strong>analyst Melissa Wedel raised the price forecast from $65.00 to $68.00 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/tree/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while keeping an Overweight rating</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst forecasts double-digit year-over-year growth across all segments, with a slight margin increase for Home and Insurance, and a small margin decrease for Consumer segments.</p>
<p>Wedel says that the fourth-quarter performance exceeded estimates and guidance, which is certainly a positive, along with expected revenue growth across all segments.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, it&#8217;s worth noting that the FY25 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance aligned with consensus estimates ahead of the earnings report, adds the analyst.</p>
<p>The analyst says that 2025 seems to mark the long-anticipated return to growth across all business segments despite lenders maintaining strict underwriting standards.</p>
<p>The analyst says that she remains confident that as SPRING (formerly MyLendingTree) expands and introduces more features, it will generate additional revenue across its product offerings in the long term.</p>

Morgan Stanley Downgrades Brown-Forman to Underweight, Lowers Price Target to $32

<p><strong>Seaport Global </strong>analyst Kenneth Zener upgraded <strong>PulteGroup</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>) from Sell to Neutral and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/phm/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced a price forecast of&nbsp;$100</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst writes that his ratings begin with long-term investors&#8217; benchmark relative weighting decisions, analyzing past cycle stock performance by quartiles (cycle time divided by 4).</p>
<p>Historical data suggests that absolute declines are still likely, but the sector&#8217;s risk-to-return profile flattens, providing an opportunity for early-cycle positioning with asymmetric returns when the cycle turns, adds the analyst.</p>
<p>The analyst says the sector&#8217;s historical decline of 41% over the past 21 cycles, with the upper half of stocks falling 24%, while the lower half dropped 49%. Returns in the third quartile fell 26%, with another 15% decline into the trough.</p>
<p>Zener expects the second quarter of FY25 to start to fall by 15%-20% in the first half of 2025 to lower the new supply.</p>
<p>The analyst says that starts of 993k (2-mth avg) vs. Trough 847k are poised to accelerate declines.</p>
<p>New Under-construction / Complete 40% above LT levels (390k vs ~280k), per the analyst.</p>
<p>The analyst remains cautious that sustained GDP growth will be benign to inflation.</p>
<p>In January, the company reported&nbsp;fourth-quarter revenues of $4.92 billion, topped the consensus of $4.635 billion, and adjusted EPS of $3.50,&nbsp;beating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43336230/why-pultegroup-stocks-are-rising-in-premarket-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus estimate of $3.27</a>.</p>
<p>Investors can gain exposure to the stock via <strong>iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF </strong>(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITB#BATS">ITB</a>) and <strong>SPDR Series Trust SPDR Homebuilders ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XHB#NYSE">XHB</a>).</p>
<p><strong>Price Action: </strong>PHM shares are up 0.74% at $106.76 at the last check Thursday.</p>
