VerifyMe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRME#NASDAQ">VRME</a>) experienced a 82.16% surge in after-hours trading on Wednesday, following business development news.
Check out how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VRME">VRME stock is trading here</a>.
What Happened: The stock of the Florida-based brand protection solutions provider company closed at $0.69, marking a 1.76% decline for the day and rose to $1.25 after hours, according to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VRME">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

This surge follows the company&#8217;s announcement of a business agreement. On Tuesday, a wholly-owned subsidiary of VerifyMe, Inc., PeriShip Global, LLC (a logistics provider), entered into a UPS Digital Channel Program Agreement with United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) and UPS Worldwide Forwarding, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>).
This agreement provides PeriShip access to designated UPS services at promotional rates as part of specialized logistics management services for time-sensitive and perishable shipments, including proactive monitoring, weather tracking, and issue resolution through certain UPS digital channel program applications. The agreement has a term of three years, subject to customary termination and renewal provisions.
Why It Matters: The surge in VerifyMe&#8217;s stock price comes on the heels of the company&#8217;s strategic move to enter into a three-year UPS Digital Channel Program Agreement with UPS. This development has been viewed positively by the market, leading to a significant increase in the stock price. This surge in stock price is also in line with the overall trend in the technology sector, with several information technology stocks experiencing movement in the after-market session on the same day.

VerifyMe Rockets 82% After Hours: What Drove the Gain?

Confluent Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFLT#NASDAQ">CFLT</a>) stock value plummeted by 27.20% in after-hours trading on Thursday.
Check out how <a href="http://v">CLFT stock is trading here</a>.
What Happened: Confluent, a California-based data streaming platform, has announced a $200 million investment aimed at expanding its global partner ecosystem. This investment is expected to enable partners to tap into the burgeoning $100 billion market opportunity driven by the increasing demand for data streaming platforms.

Kamal Brar, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Independent Software Vendor (ISV) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) at Confluent, said, "The opportunity ahead is massive, and we believe it will be defined by those who can move and build together.&#8221;
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CFLT">Benzinga Pro</a> data, CFLT stock continued to drop to $19.22 during the after-hours trading session on Wednesday, following a 2.11% decline to close at $26.40 during the regular session.
Why It Matters: The drop in Confluent&#8217;s stock value comes on the heels of a significant investment announcement and second-quarter financial report. While Confluent posted strong growth in subscription revenue of $271 million, a 21% increase from last year and cloud revenue of $151 million, up 28%, and continued to improve margins and cash flow, the steep decline in stock price suggests investors&#8217; concern regarding modest third-quarter outlook — which guided subscription revenue of $281–$282 million and earnings per share of $0.09–$0.10.
Despite the drop in stock value, Confluent&#8217;s CEO and Co-Founder, Ethan Chan, emphasized the importance of the company&#8217;s technology and expertise in providing a high-performance data backbone for its partners.&nbsp;
Confluent&#8217;s stock value change also coincided with a series of fluctuations in the IT sector, with several IT stocks experiencing significant shifts in the after-hours trading on the same day.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate Confluent stock has a positive trend across all time frames.&nbsp; Here is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-3/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">how the stock fares</a> on other parameters.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday she will not run for governor of California, ending months of speculation over whether she would enter the 2026 race.
What Happened: "In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor," Harris said in a statement first <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/30/kamala-harris-wont-run-for-california-governor-00484884">reported</a> by Politico. "I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I've decided that I will not run for Governor in this election."
"For now, my leadership — and public service — will not be in elected office. I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans," Harris added.
Two people close to Harris <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/kamala-harris-decides-not-run-governor-california-rcna222048">told</a> NBC News the decision preserves her ability to launch a 2028 White House run, should she choose to take that route. While a governor's race would not have barred a presidential bid, advisers weighed the time and political constraints of a statewide campaign.
Harris held statewide office in California for 10 years. First as attorney general and then as a U.S. senator, before she resigned to become vice president. She <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39874088/biden-backs-harris-for-democratic-nominee-after-bowing-out-of-2024-race-i-want-to-offer-my-full-supp">replaced Joe Biden</a> as the Democratic presidential nominee last year after he withdrew.

Why It Matters: Her exit leaves a crowded Democratic field to succeed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom, with contenders such as Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra and ex-Rep. Katie Porter, reports Politico. Republicans lack a marquee challenger.
Harris has mostly stayed on the sidelines while other Democratic leaders confronted the Trump administration, though she has periodically issued statements and sent Democratic National Committee fundraising emails. According to The Guardian, she <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/30/kamala-harris-speech-trump">waited</a> until late April to deliver her first major post-election speech, where she condemned Trump's "unconstitutional demands" and a climate of fear aimed at silencing critics.
President Donald Trump, earlier this week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46650485/trump-calls-for-legal-action-against-kamala-harris-beyonce-oprah-over-alleged-campaign-finance-violations-they-should-all-be-prosecuted">demanded legal action</a> against Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Al Sharpton, alleging campaign-finance violations and claiming they unlawfully received funds from the Harris campaign. He made the accusations in a Truth Social post, asserting that Democrats owe significant money after the presidential election and that Beyoncé, Winfrey, and Sharpton were paid large sums for endorsements.

Kamala Harris Says She Loves California, But She Isn't Going To Run As Governor: 'After A Deep Reflection…'

Prominent short seller Jim Chanos raised concerns on Wednesday about Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) potentially overstating profits through extended depreciation schedules on rapidly obsoleting artificial intelligence infrastructure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Short Seller Questions Meta&#8217;s Accounting Methods</h2>
"If the true economic life on its GPUs is actually 2–3 years, most of its profits are materially overstated," Chanos wrote on X, noting that Meta's depreciable capital base stood at $210 billion as of June 30 with a reported useful life of 11 to 12 years.

Mastercard Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

MATH

Reported Earlier, Metalpha Reports 266% Surge In FY2025 Wealth Management Income To $44.6M And Turns First Annual Profit Of $15.9M

Used car retailer, Carvana Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>), reported a strong second-quarter performance, fueled partly by the chaos and uncertainties surrounding President Donald Trump&#8217;s trade and tariff policies during the quarter.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVNA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CVNA stock here.</a>
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46739500/carvana-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-as-vehicle-sales-jump-41-company-sees-enormous-opportunity-ahead">second-quarter earnings</a> call on Wednesday, the company revealed that tariff-related pricing dynamics in April contributed to an estimated $100 per unit uplift in retail gross profit.
&#8220;We really linked [it] to the announcements of auto tariffs in late March that drove stronger demand and higher margins,&#8221; CFO Mark Jenkins said during the call.

The company&#8217;s CEO, Ernie Garcia, acknowledged the temporary nature of the benefit, saying that, &#8220;There was a little bit of kind of pull forward and then maybe a little slowness immediately thereafter, but I think for the most part it was relatively flat.&#8221;
According to Garcia, Carvana sold 143,280 retail units in the second quarter, up 41% year-over-year. In contrast, he says, &#8220;based on our best available data, the market grew by less than 5% in units in the quarter.&#8221; He added that the company &#8220;grew inventory available for our customers by 50%,&#8221; while the broader industry faces stagnation.
&#8220;We were once again the fastest growing and most profitable automotive retailer, again by significant margins,&#8221; he said, while also highlighting the role of strong execution as the key driver of this performance, besides the temporary macro-driven uplift. 
Why It Matters: Carvana's stock has staged one of the most dramatic reversals in recent market history. After peaking at over $360 in 2021, shares collapsed to just $3.72 in late 2022 amid fears of bankruptcy and a cratering used-car market. Over the past year, however, it has once again soared by 8,867%, and currently trades at $333.59 per share. 
As the stock continues to test new highs, Garcia, the company&#8217;s CEO, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46716157/ernest-garcia-ii-sells-33-5-million-worth-of-carvana-stock-amid-165-rally">sold shares worth</a> $33.5 million this week, while continuing to remain a major shareholder with a 10% ownership in the company.
The stock is back in the spotlight, with retail investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46679779/opendoor-skyrockets-314-in-a-month-amid-meme-stock-mania-hedge-fund-manager-who-reaped-windfall-gains-says-im-not-here-to-pump-up-a-stock">drawing parallels to it</a> with Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>), another beaten-down stock that is being touted as a potential &#8220;100-bagger,&#8221; or a stock that could 100x in value from its current levels. 
The company released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46739500/carvana-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-as-vehicle-sales-jump-41-company-sees-enormous-opportunity-ahead">second-quarter results</a> on Wednesday, reporting $4.84 billion in revenue, up 42% year-over-year, and beating consensus estimates of $4.53 billion. It posted a profit of $1.28 per share, again ahead of Street estimates at $0.97 per share.
Price Action: Carvana&#8217;s shares were down 0.86% on Wednesday, trading at $333.59, but are up 15.70% after hours, following the company&#8217;s earnings announcement.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Wednesday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 150 points during the session after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said "no decision" has been made on a September rate cut.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% as expected, yet two members broke ranks to support a rate cut, marking the most divided Fed meeting in over three decades.
Wingstop Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WING#NASDAQ">WING</a>) shares jumped around 27% on Wednesday after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter EPS and sales. Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAR#NASDAQ">CAR</a>) fell 15% following worse-than-expected quarterly EPS and sales.
On the economic data front, U.S. pending home sales declined by 0.8% from the previous month in May, following a 1.8% gain in April. The U.S. economy expanded at an annualized rate of 3% in the second quarter following a 0.5% contraction in the previous quarter. Private businesses in the U.S. added 104,000 jobs in July, compared to market estimates of a 75,000 increase.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with materials, real estate and energy stocks recording the biggest losses on Wednesday. However, information technology and utilities stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by 172 points to 44,461.28 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.12% to 6,362.90, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.15% to 21,129.67 during Wednesday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 66.7, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 68.1.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Dow Falls Over 150 Points After Powell's Comments On Rate Cuts: Investor Sentiment Declines, But Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized Canada&#8217;s decision to back statehood for Palestine, warning that this move could jeopardize trade negotiations between the two countries.
What Happened: The U.S. President expressed his disapproval of Canada&#8217;s recent announcement regarding the recognition of a Palestinian state. Trump took to Truth Social to voice his concerns, stating, &#8220;Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh&#8217; Canada!!&#8221; 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="612" height="188" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/31024956/image-496.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1008438" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/31024956/image-496.png 612w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/31024956/image-496-300x92.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px" /></figure>
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September, making it the third G7 country, after the UK and France, to declare such intentions in recent days, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceqyx35d9x2o">reported </a>BBC. 
Carney&#8217;s decision depends on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority conducting elections next year without Hamas participation. Formal recognition of the State of Palestine is anticipated at the upcoming UN General Assembly. He stated, &#8220;The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable and it is rapidly deteriorating.&#8221;
Carney also disclosed that he had spoken with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas earlier on Wednesday regarding the announcement.

Why It Matters: This move comes at a time when U.S.-Canada trade relations are already strained. Earlier this month, President Trump indicated that the U.S. might abandon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46647776/us-may-ditch-trade-negotiations-with-canada-trump-says-havent-really-had-a-lot-of-luck">trade negotiations</a> with Canada, hinting that tariffs might be the outcome.
Canada had responded to Trump&#8217;s 50% steel tariffs with a $1 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/07/46469746/canada-hits-back-at-trumps-50-steel-tariffs-with-1-billion-rescue-new-quota-system">rescue plan </a>and a new quota system, as reported. The U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warned that August 1 would be the "hard deadline" for countries that haven't yet signed a trade deal with the U.S. to start <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46716020/trump-is-yet-to-sign-a-trade-deal-with-over-85-of-humanity-here-are-the-major-countries-that-are-ye">paying the tariffs</a>.
Meanwhile, Trump during his Scotland visit admitted to &#8220;real starvation&#8221; in Gaza and urged Israel to allow in &#8220;every ounce of food.&#8221; The U.S. President faces mounting pressure to act as the humanitarian crisis worsens in Gaza, where dozens have died of hunger amid an Israeli blockade that has severely restricted aid, according to the UN and other groups, reported BBC.

Former Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) executive Ka Ling Wu revealed how a 24-hour supply chain demonstration during the early COVID-19 pandemic led to a transformative partnership with Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSN#NYSE">TSN</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">March 2020 Crisis Response</h2>
Wu, now CEO of Y Combinator-backed Upsolve AI, detailed the urgent request from Palantir&#8217;s Head of Commercial in March 2020. &#8220;Can you build a supply chain demo in 24 hours? The McKinsey CEO wants to see it tomorrow,&#8221; Wu recalled in a LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/wukaling_i-got-a-crazy-request-from-the-head-of-commercial-activity-7356292535801053185-1klT?utm_source=social_share_send&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web&amp;rcm=ACoAABrNcZgBQmHrp-Gfd9sPhrmdgRNfYbv-VeU">post</a> on Wednesday.
The timing coincided with COVID-19&#8217;s devastating impact on Italy and global supply chain disruptions. Wu and colleague Serguei Balanovich executed an international all-nighter, working across UK and U.S. time zones to develop the demonstration.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fortune 100 Executive Breakthrough</h2>
The demo&#8217;s success led to presentations with Fortune 100 CEOs facing supply chain collapses. A pivotal moment came during a presentation to Tyson Foods&#8217; Chief Technology Officer, who initially expressed skepticism about the technology&#8217;s capabilities.
&#8220;This is impossible. My IT team has tried for months to read this data,&#8221; the CTO reportedly said. Wu&#8217;s team requested three days to prove otherwise.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Five-Day Supply Chain Mapping Success</h2>
Within five days, Palantir mapped Tyson&#8217;s entire supply chain from raw chicken to processed nuggets, identifying every disruption point. The CTO&#8217;s reaction: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t believe this was possible.&#8221;
This breakthrough project became part of Palantir&#8217;s broader supply chain solutions portfolio, which now includes partnerships with major corporations and has generated significant returns for clients including $200 million in Tyson Foods savings and $40 million in logistics optimization within 120 days.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Impact and Technology Evolution</h2>
Wu&#8217;s experience contributed to Palantir&#8217;s development of HyperAuto, powered by Software-Defined Data Integration (SDDI), where she led a 10-engineer team from 2020-2022. The technology addresses critical data integration challenges across industries.
Palantir shares have surged 489% over 12 months, reaching recent highs above $160. The company&#8217;s supply chain solutions now serve clients globally.

Palantir Alum Recalls 2020 All-Nighter That Won Over Tyson Foods After CTO Called Demo 'Impossible' During Pandemic Supply Chain Crisis

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cramer Praises Visionary Leadership After Blockbuster Earnings</h2>
Following the release of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46739277/meta-beats-q2-earnings-estimates-issues-strong-guidance-shares-surge-to-new-highs">second-quarter earnings</a> from Meta and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46738585/microsoft-q4-earnings-highlights-double-beat-ceo-says-cloud-and-ai-is-the-driving-force">fourth-quarter results</a> from Microsoft, CNBC's Mad Money host took to X, formerly Twitter, to heap praise on the companies' leadership.
