<p>U.S. President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> said <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is helping relieve pressure on the U.S. dollar, calling its increasing adoption "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46131815/trumps-crypto-advisor-david-sacks-says-july-will-be-a-big-month-says-president-supports-legislation-on-market-structure-and-stablecoins">a great thing for our country</a>."</p>
<p>Speaking about the evolving role of Bitcoin in the economy, Trump said that more people are using it for payments and that the digital asset has become an important part of the financial system.</p>
<p>"I noticed more and more you're paying Bitcoin," Trump said. "People are saying it takes a lot of pressure off the dollar. And it's a great thing for our country."</p>
<p>Trump clarified that he does not personally invest in Bitcoin, but said, "I have my kids and they invest in different things. They do believe in it." </p>
<p>His comment aligns with the known fact that members of the Trump family have been publicly supportive of cryptocurrencies.</p>
<p>In particular, his son <strong>Eric Trump</strong> has emerged as a prominent advocate for Bitcoin. </p>
<p>Eric has regularly spoken at crypto conferences and is involved in American Bitcoin, a company closely aligned with the Trump family that focuses on Bitcoin infrastructure and mining. </p>
<p>Additionally, <strong>Trump Media &amp; Technology Group</strong>, linked to the former president, announced earlier this year that it planned to allocate billions of dollars toward Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy.</p>

<p>Trump emphasized that his role as president contributed to building an industry that has become strategically significant for the country. "What I did do there is build an industry that's very important," he said.</p>
<p>He also pointed out the geopolitical importance of the U.S. embracing crypto. "You know, we didn't have a [crypto] industry, China would," Trump said.</p>
<p>The Trump family has heavily invested in cryptocurrencies. </p>
<p>Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of <strong>Truth Social</strong>, announced in May 2025 a $2.5 billion raise to create a &#8220;Bitcoin treasury.&#8221; </p>
<p>The company, where Trump holds a 53% stake, aims to diversify its $700 million cash reserves into crypto assets, including exchange-traded funds like the proposed "Truth.fi Bitcoin Plus ETF." </p>
<p>Additionally, American Bitcoin, a mining firm co-founded by Eric Trump and backed by<strong> Donald Trump Jr.</strong>, merged with Gryphon Digital Mining to go public on Nasdaq in 2025. </p>
<p>The family also holds a 60% stake in <strong>World Liberty Financial</strong>, which launched a stablecoin, USD1, and raised $550 million in token sales, including a $2 billion investment from an Abu Dhabi-based firm.</p>
<p>Trump's pro-crypto policies include an executive order signed in March 2025 to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Assets Stockpile, aiming to position the U.S. as the "crypto capital of the world." </p>
<p>His administration has paused a dozen federal crypto probes and dropped lawsuits against crypto firms, reversing Biden-era regulations. </p>
<p>However, these moves have sparked concerns about conflicts of interest, with critics like Sen. <strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong> (D-Mass.) accusing Trump of "crypto corruption" due to his family's financial stakes.</p>

Kratos Defense & Security shares are trading higher after Truist Securities raised its price target on the stock from $38 to $52.

<p>Lottery.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTRY#NASDAQ">LTRY</a>, LTRYW))) ("Lottery.com" or "the Company"), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, today confirmed that it is nearing legal proof of a coordinated and unlawful ‘short and distort' campaign targeting the Company. In collaboration with its legal counsel, Paul Hastings LLP, the Company is actively pursuing all individuals and entities engaged in market manipulation intended to damage the Company's share price and reputation.</p>
<p><strong>Christopher Gooding, Independent Director of Lottery.com and a member of the Audit Committee with responsibility for legal affairs, issued the following statement:</strong></p>
<p><i>"There is no doubt that there is an orchestrated campaign against Lottery. The trading metrics and forensic data we have access to clearly indicate both classic ‘short and distort' tactics, and more seriously, a significant volume of naked short selling — illegal trades not backed by actual share ownership.</i></p>
<p><i>"These actors fall into three categories:</i></p>
<ul>
<li><i>"Aggressive and embittered insiders, who appear to be leveraging confidential or insider information from their historical relationships with Lottery.com for self-serving purposes. I outlined elements of these insiders to the judge in a Delaware action earlier this year;</i></li>
<li><i>"Professional short-sellers, aided and abetted by complicit brokers — some of whom are actively engineering mechanisms to facilitate, or are willfully ignoring, illegal naked short activity; and</i></li>
<li><i>"Opportunistic traders, influenced by blogs, shorting platforms, and "pay-to-publish" media articles that amplify false and defamatory narratives. These clearly represent the ‘distort' component of the campaign. Numerous cease-and-desist letters have already been issued.</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><i>"Our message to these parties is unequivocal: We know who you are. We are rapidly securing irrefutable legal evidence of your involvement — including the brokers operating both in the U.S. and offshore in jurisdictions such as the Caribbean. We will pursue damages vigorously and refer the evidence to the appropriate regulatory authorities.</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><i>"Your days are numbered. We will shut you down, and the financial penalties imposed will far exceed the unlawful profits you have sought to extract from our shareholders."</i><br /><br />&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>Lottery.com reiterates its commitment to protecting shareholder value, market integrity, and the long-term growth of its global operations.</p>

Snowflake Unusual Options Activity

<p><strong>Abbott Laboratories's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.45% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>20.80 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 1.2% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 4.4 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Abbott Laboratories has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Abbott Laboratories's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Abbott Laboratories's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.31%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Sempra has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Sempra's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sempra's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.48%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>

<p>In the current market session, <strong>FTAI Aviation Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTAI#NASDAQ">FTAI</a>)</strong> stock price is at $121.96, after a <strong>0.04%</strong> decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by <strong>4.11%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>16.15%</strong>. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. </p>

<h3>Evaluating FTAI Aviation P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
<p>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. </p>
<p>FTAI Aviation has a better P/E ratio of <strong>508.38</strong> than the aggregate P/E ratio of <strong>82.42</strong> of the Trading Companies &amp; Distributors industry. Ideally, one might believe that FTAI Aviation Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. </p>
<p>

<p>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. </p>

A Look Into FTAI Aviation Inc's Price Over Earnings

<p>Homebuilder stocks have underperformed the broader market in 2025, with the S&amp;P Composite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/46004883/homebuilder-etfs-climb-thin-foundation-permits-sentiment-slide">1500 Homebuilding Index</a> (S15HOME) down roughly 8% year-to-date, compared to a 4% gain in the S&amp;P 500, according to Bank of America Securities.</p>
<p>The weakness comes as builder confidence for newly built single-family homes remains historically low. Earlier in June, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index <a href="https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/press-releases/2025/06/builder-sentiment-at-third-lowest-reading-since-2012">showed </a>a reading of 32—its third-lowest level since 2012. Only December 2022 (31) and April 2020 (30) posted worse readings.</p>

<p>According to an NAHB analysis released on Wednesday, elevated interest rates and economic uncertainty sent more home buyers to the sidelines in May as housing affordability conditions remain challenging.</p>
<p>Sales of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/press-releases/2025/06/elevated-rates-challenging-affordability-conditions-put-a-damper-on-new-home-sales" rel="noreferrer noopener">newly</a> built single-family homes declined 13.7% in May, falling back to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 623,000.</p>
<p>According to newly released data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau, the pace was the slowest since October of last year, with mortgage rates averaging 6.83% in May.</p>
<p>Sales were particularly slow in the South, with the pace of sales down 21% in May.</p>
<p>BofA adds that the demand for new homes is still muted, and existing home listings are rising, but they are seeing a&#8221;frozen&#8221; resale market.</p>
<p>In its investor note on Friday, BofA added that in 2025, the prices of new homes have fallen. On average, new homes cost 0.3% less than existing (resale) homes. This is a big shift from the past when new homes were usually 15–20% more expensive than existing ones.</p>
<p>Housing inventory has gone up. The number of new homes for sale is at its highest point in over a decade. Existing home listings are up 20% compared to last year, though still not back to pre-pandemic (2019) levels. Vacancy rates have also risen after being very low for a while.</p>
<p>BofA also writes that homebuilders continue to use incentives (rate buydowns) and build smaller homes to address some of the affordability challenges.</p>
<p>NAHB <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/press-releases/2025/06/sharp-drop-in-multifamily-production-brings-overall-housing-starts-down" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> a sharp decline in multifamily production pushed overall housing starts down in May, while single-family output was flat due to economic and tariff uncertainty and elevated interest rates.</p>
<p>"Our latest builder survey shows that development and market conditions remain a major concern for builders, with consumer confidence lower and elevated interest rates for buyers and builders," said <strong>Buddy Hughes</strong>, chairman of NAHB.</p>
<p>Most recently, homebuilder <strong>KB Home </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>) reported second-quarter revenue of $1.52 billion, beating analyst&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a> of $1.51 billion. The company&nbsp;reported second-quarter earnings of $1.50 per share, beating analyst estimates of $1.47 per share.</p>
<p>KB Home delivered 3,120 homes in the quarter, down 11% on a year-over-year basis. The average selling price "increased slightly" to&nbsp;$488,700, while net orders decreased 13% year-over-year to 3,460. Ending backlog value was down 27% to $2.29 billion and inventories <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46063325/kb-home-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-homebuilder-lowers-2025-housing-revenue-outlook-as-market-conditions-soften" rel="noreferrer noopener">increased 7% to $5.91 billion</a>.</p>

<p>LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) - Global payments processors Visa <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/V.N">(V.N), opens new tab</a> and Mastercard's <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/MA.N">(MA.N), opens new tab</a> default multilateral interchange fees which are charged to retailers infringe competition law, a London tribunal ruled on Friday in the latest round of the long-running legal saga.</p>
<p>London's Competition Appeal Tribunal unanimously ruled that Visa and Mastercard's multilateral interchange fees breach European competition law, in a ruling in linked lawsuits brought by hundreds of merchants.</p>
<p>David Scott, global managing partner of law firm Scott+Scott, which represented the claimants, said the ruling was "a significant win for all merchants who have been paying excessive interchange fees to Visa and Mastercard".</p>
<p>Both Visa and Mastercard said they disagreed with the decision and intended to seek permission to appeal.</p>
<p>A Visa spokesperson said: "Visa continues to believe that interchange is a critical component to maintaining a secure digital payments ecosystem that benefits all parties, including consumers, merchants and banks."</p>
<p>"Mastercard strongly disagrees with today's decision, which is deeply flawed, and will seek permission to appeal," a Mastercard spokesperson said in a statement.</p>
<p>Litigation over multilateral interchange fees, which are levied on retailers when cardholders make a transaction, has rumbled on for well over a decade in Britain and elsewhere.</p>
<p>Scott+Scott said Friday's ruling was the first time that Visa and Mastercard's commercial card and inter-regional multilateral interchange fees had been found to infringe competition law.</p>
<p>The liability trial which led to Friday's ruling took place in early 2024. A ruling following a further trial to determine whether any alleged overcharge was passed on by retailers to customers is pending.</p>
