La Rosa Holdings (LRHC) Stock Dips 23% In After Hours, Shares Shed Intraday Gains Fueled By H1 2025 Revenue Numbers

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABAF#OTC">BABAF</a>) announced the pricing of HK$12.023 billion ($1.5 billion) in zero-coupon exchangeable bonds due 2032, marking the Chinese e-commerce giant&#8217;s latest move to fuel its artificial intelligence and cloud expansion strategy.
What Happened: The bonds, priced on Thursday, are exchangeable for shares of Alibaba Health Information Technology Limited (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALBBY#OTC">ALBBY</a>), a consolidated subsidiary where Alibaba holds approximately 64% equity interest. The offering is expected to close July 9, subject to customary closing conditions.
Bondholders can exchange their securities at an initial ratio of approximately 160,513.6 Alibaba Health shares per HK$1 million principal amount, equivalent to an initial exchange price of HK$6.23 per share. This represents a 48% premium over the HK$4.21 per share price in the concurrent delta placement.
If fully exchanged, the bonds would represent up to 12% of Alibaba Health&#8217;s issued share capital as of May 31. The exchange price is subject to customary adjustments and anti-dilution provisions.
Alibaba expects net proceeds of approximately HK$11.9 billion ($1.55 billion) after deducting underwriter commissions and estimated expenses. The company plans to use proceeds for general corporate purposes, including investments in cloud infrastructure and international commerce businesses.

Why It Matters: The bond offering comes as Alibaba shares have surged 28% year-to-date, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46250853/alibabas-ai-and-cloud-moves-have-sparked-28-stock-rebound">significantly outperforming the NYSE Composite&#8217;s 8% gain</a>. The rally has been driven by accelerating growth in the company&#8217;s Cloud Intelligence Group, particularly AI-related products, and strategic investments in artificial intelligence.
In June, Alibaba released updated Qwen3 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46250853/alibabas-ai-and-cloud-moves-have-sparked-28-stock-rebound">AI models and partnered with</a> Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to deploy machine-learning features on devices in China. The company is aggressively expanding its global cloud presence with new data centers in Malaysia, South Korea, and the Philippines.
The bonds will be listed on the Vienna MTF operated by the Vienna Stock Exchange within 60 days after closing. Bondholders may require redemption on July 9, 2030, or following certain corporate events, with redemption at 100% of the principal amount.
Price Action: As of Friday at 1:13 p.m. local time, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd traded at HK$105.60 (~$13.45) on the Hong Kong Exchange, down 0.56%.
On the NYSE, Alibaba ADR closed Thursday at $108.70, down 1.82%, with after-hours trading slipping to $108.63.
BABA scores well on momentum and growth based on Benzinga&#8217;s Stock Edge Ranking. While the stock shows a negative short- and medium-term price trend, its long-term trend remains positive.

Actor George Takei, famous for his role in the &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; franchise, says the Trump administration's push to deport undocumented immigrants echoes the World War II mass incarceration of Japanese Americans.
What Happened: The Star Trek star, who survived Japanese American internment, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/audio/podcasts/the-assignment/episodes/9140d9e2-4b94-11ef-ba2a-9bdbc6863578">told</a> CNN's Audie Cornish that Donald Trump's immigration agenda echoes Franklin D. Roosevelt's wartime roundup of people with Japanese ancestry.
&#8220;But politicians lie, and people believe that lie because there&#8217;s hysteria rampant at that time,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And in our time today, right now, people got swept up by a lie and elected him. And now people have regrets. People must speak out.&#8221;
Takei reminded listeners that Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on Feb. 19, 1942, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-executive-order-9066-migrants-gift-cards-076876930650">allowing</a> the government to confine about 120,000 Japanese Americans behind barbed wire. Guards with rifles watched over families crammed into sparsely insulated barracks, many of them U.S. citizens.

&#8220;Even great presidents can get swept up in the hysteria of the times because, to Roosevelt, the West Coast of the United States was just like Pearl Harbor,&#8221; Takei said. &#8220;It was open. Unprotected and vulnerable. And here were these people that looked exactly like the people that bombed Pearl Harbor. And so, he panicked out of ignorance.&#8221;
Cornish noted that polls in the 1940s favored internment, just as many voters now support mass deportations.
Why It Matters: Trump proposes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46110499/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-to-inject-150-billion-into-immigration-enforcement-over-the-next-four-years-report">slashing $150 billion</a> from other federal programs and redirecting the money to his immigration agenda over the next four years. Immigration and Customs Enforcement already teeters on a budget cliff, and officials warn the agency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45967200/ice-could-run-out-of-money-in-weeks-trumps-immigration-push-now-threatens-to-break-the-budget-report">could exhaust its funds</a> within weeks. Lawmakers from both parties fear Trump will siphon money from other agencies to keep ICE operating, although his new spending package could ease that pressure. 
Trump highlighted his hard-line approach last week by telling New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani that he would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46213003/zohran-mamdani-hits-back-at-trumps-arrest-threats-over-potentially-blocking-new-york-ice-raids-will-not-accept-this-intimidation">arrest and deport him</a> if he tried to block federal immigration raids.

Trump Administration's ICE Raids Compared With WWII Japanese Internment Camps By George Takei: 'Politicians Lie, And People Believe That Lie'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales in the UK surged over 12% year-on-year in June as Elon Musk's EV giant's Q2 delivery figures fared better than initially predicted by experts.
What Happened: Tesla sold 7,891 units in the UK during June, compared to June 2024&#8217;s 7,019 units, data from NewAutomotive obtained by Reuters showcased on Friday.
The data also suggests that UK EV sales grew by 45.5%, with a 12.8% growth in total car sales in the region. The market as a whole registered 187,655 units in June. 
Tesla's Chinese rival, BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), also gained in sales, selling 2,498 units in June. Tesla's total sales in the UK are still down 2%, the data shows.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Tesla delivered over 384,000 vehicles in Q2, which analysts like Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives hailed as a moment where the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239998/dan-ives-hails-teslas-better-than-expected-q2-deliveries-says-fireworks-come-early-for-elon-musk-led-ev-giant">&#8220;fireworks&#8221; came early</a> for the company.
Gary Black, managing director of Future Fund LLC, pinned the deliveries on Tesla experiencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">strong growth in China</a> during June. "2Q was better than expected, led by refreshed Model Y deliveries and strong quarter-end China deliveries," the investor said as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46238590/tsla-stock-surges-5-as-q2-deliveries-better-than-feared-gary-black-explains-why-elon-musk-led-tesla-fared-better-than-markets-worst-fears">company stock surged 5%</a>.
The news also comes in as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46214467/elon-musk-will-oversee-tesla-sales-in-the-us-europe-after-omead-afshars-exit-report">Musk will assume oversight</a> of Tesla sales in regions like Europe and the U.S. after close aide Omead Afshar's exit from the company earlier.

Elon Musk-Led Tesla Sales Surge 12% In The UK During June: Q2 Deliveries Beat Analyst Estimates

As American families gather to celebrate Independence Day, many investors and traders are curious about the market schedule for the July Fourth holiday weekend.
Here&#8217;s a concise guide to help you navigate the trading week around this holiday.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Schedule Overview Around Independence Day</h2>
The Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange closed at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday and will remain closed all day on Friday, July 4th.
According to the <a href="https://www.sifma.org/resources/general/holiday-schedule/">Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association</a>, the U.S. bond market will also remain shut. 
While the U.S. markets will be closed, international markets will follow their respective schedules. European and Asian markets, for example, will operate on their normal trading hours. Foreign exchange markets will remain open.
Thin trading volumes and liquidity in international markets are common on days when Wall Street is closed.
Most retail, grocery, and restaurant chains will remain open in some capacity on Friday, July 4, while banks, post offices, and the stock market will be closed on the holiday.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Story Behind The Fourth of July</h2>
The Fourth of July wasn&#8217;t always the big annual celebration we know today. It all started with a &#8220;spontaneous celebration&#8221; in Philadelphia, marking America&#8217;s first birthday, as described by John Adams in a letter to his daughter.
It took a while for the tradition to stick, though. After the War of 1812, people began to regularly mark the occasion, even planning major events like groundbreaking ceremonies for the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad around the Fourth of July festivities. Eventually, Congress officially recognized its importance, making Independence Day a federal holiday on June 28, 1870.
Speaking of holidays, after the Fourth of July closure, it&#8217;ll be business as usual on Wall Street until early September. The next stock market closure is for Labor Day, on Monday, September 1.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Market Holidays In 2025</h2>
Following the July 4th and Sept. 1st holidays, the markets will be closed for;
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Thanksgiving: Thursday, Nov. 27</li>
<li>Christmas: Thursday, Dec. 25</li>
</ul>
Price Action: On the truncated trading day of July 3rd, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, scaled fresh records and ended higher. The SPY was up 0.79% at $625.34, while the QQQ advanced 0.98% to $556.22, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Is the Market Open On July 4th? Everything You Need To Know

President Donald Trump's controversial One Big, Beautiful Bill has passed the House of Representatives with a 218-214 vote, with Trump expected to sign the bill into law on July 4. Here's what it means for EVs in the U.S.
What Happened: "It is obvious that the future of transportation is electric; this bill forfeits America's role in that future to China," The Electrification Coalition, a pro-EV group, said on Thursday, according to Reuters.
The tax bill eliminates the federal EV credit, worth $7,500, on all purchases of new electric vehicles, as well as a $4,000 credit on used EVs, which could be a blow to the growing EV sector in the country.
The bill also eliminates the civil fines imposed on corporations for not meeting the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) norms and repeals the proposed $250 annual fee on EV owners.
Elsewhere, the bill also eliminates the proposal that the U.S. Postal Service would need to overhaul its delivery fleet and sell off all the Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46048352/gop-cant-kill-usps-ev-fleet-under-tax-bill-says-senate-parliamentarian">transit EV vans</a> it currently uses.
Why It Matters: The tax bill has been a point of contention between Trump and his allies, most significantly, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk. Musk had launched a scathing attack on Trump over the budget, even claiming that if the bill were to pass, he would set up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46186733/elon-musk-staging-a-political-comeback-tesla-ceo-sparks-america-party-buzz-as-he-slams-trumps-insane-spending-bill">new political party</a>.
Trump responded by saying that Musk would need <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46216023/after-trump-warns-elon-musk-to-close-up-shop-china-rallies-behind-worlds-richest-man-theres-no-need-to-keep-putting-up-with-it">to "close up shop"</a> and return to South Africa if it weren't for the U.S. government subsidies, further adding to the feud between the two.
The bill is in line with the Trump administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943245/trump-says-he-was-amazed-that-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-endorsed-him-despite-his-anti-ev-stance">anti-EV stance</a> as the president had recently signed a resolution to overturn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45911368/trump-signs-resolutions-to-overturn-californias-ev-mandate-report">California's EV mandate</a>, which aimed to phase out ICE-powered vehicles by 2035.

Trump's 'Big Bautiful Bill' Passes—EV Tax Breaks To End On September 30: What It Means For Electric Vehicles

Jane Street Group, a major global proprietary trading firm, has been barred from accessing Indian securities markets after the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the Indian market regulator, issued an interim order alleging manipulation of benchmark indices, including the Nifty 50.
What Happened: SEBI has frozen more than INR 48.43 billion ($580 million) in alleged unlawful gains and directed Jane Street's entities to deposit the amount in an escrow account, pending further investigation.
The order on Thursday accuses Jane Street's Indian and foreign subsidiaries of deploying complex trading strategies to manipulate index levels on expiry days, particularly in the highly liquid Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty options markets. 
SEBI's investigation found that Jane Street's entities engaged in aggressive, high-volume trades in index constituent stocks and futures, both to artificially move index prices and to profit from large, directional options positions. 
The regulator cited "intra-day index manipulation" and "extended marking the close" strategies, where Jane Street allegedly bought or sold large quantities of underlying stocks and futures to influence the index settlement price, then reversed those trades to maximize options profits.
Jane Street Group did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: SEBI's order highlights that Jane Street's trading activity was concentrated around expiry days, with the group running the largest cash-equivalent risks in index options. 
The regulator noted that these actions created a false or misleading appearance of market activity, violating India's Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices (PFUTP) regulations. The order also points to a disregard for regulatory warnings, as Jane Street continued similar trading patterns even after receiving a caution letter in February.
The ban and asset freeze are interim measures, and SEBI's investigation is ongoing.

Jane Street Banned From India After Market Regulator Alleges 'Intra-Day Index Manipulation'

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI has received official approval to operate natural gas-burning turbines at its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45100013/elon-musks-xai-supercomputer-powering-grok-faces-human-rights-violation-allegations-in-memphis-over-pollution-from-unauthorized-gas-turbines">Memphis-based supercomputer</a> facility, despite community backlash and an ongoing lawsuit over air quality concerns.
What Happened: The Shelby County Health Department issued the permit on Wednesday, allowing xAI to operate 15 gas turbines at its Colossus data center, which powers the Grok AI model, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/03/musks-xai-gets-permit-for-turbines-to-power-supercomputer-in-memphis.html">reported</a> CNBC.
The permit enforces emissions limits and testing requirements, with non-compliance penalties reaching $10,000 per day.
Local residents have protested the project for months, citing a strong odor and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46012282/elon-musks-xai-may-face-clean-air-act-lawsuit-over-alleged-pollution-at-memphis-data-center">poor air quality</a> that reportedly worsened after the turbines were activated. The NAACP, represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center, has filed a lawsuit against xAI, claiming the company violated the Clean Air Act.

Satellite images taken Tuesday reportedly show 24 turbines at the site, exceeding the permitted number. Previously, the site hosted as many as 35 turbines, with more than 15 operating at once, the report said.
Why It's Important: xAI's Memphis supercomputer is central to Musk's ambitions to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and 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's Gemini.
Earlier this week, it was announced that xAI has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187301/elon-musks-xai-secures-10-billion-in-debt-and-equity-amid-soaring-burn-rate-as-ai-arms-race-intensifies">raised $10 billion in debt</a> and equity.
The company is also reportedly in discussions to raise around $20 billion in equity funding, which could value it at over $120 billion, with some investors estimating its worth could reach as high as $200 billion.
Previously, Musk revealed that xAI plans to deploy 1 million GPUs near Memphis. Most of these GPUs will be sourced from Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), according to Gene Munster, with a smaller share coming from Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
Munster added that the total cost of acquiring these chips could range from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45534923/elon-musks-xai-plans-3040-billion-gpu-buy-near-memphis-nvidia-set-to-be-the-biggest-winner-says-top-analyst">$30 billion to $40 billion</a>.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Surge Amid Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' Victory — Analyst Says BTC On 'Cusp Of Making History' As It Eyes Key Weekly Resistance

Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONN#NASDAQ">SONN</a>) stock experienced a drop of 5.54% on Thursday, followed by a remarkable recovery of 14.29% in after-hours trading.
What Happened: Sonnet BioTherapeutics&#8217; stock fell by 5% during regular trading hours on Thursday. The drop was attributed to concerns about the company&#8217;s continued listing on the NASDAQ exchange. The stock closed at $3.92.
However, the stock made a recovery in after-hours trading, surging by 14% to $4.48. This rebound came after an <a href="https://www.ainvest.com/news/sonnet-biotherapeutics-plunges-18-07-ceo-passing-private-placement-2507/">18.07%</a> plunge earlier in the day, which was attributed to the passing of the company&#8217;s CEO, Pankaj Mohan and a private placement of zero-interest convertible notes, worth $2 million.

Failing to meet the minimum requirement of $2.5 million in stockholders&#8217; equity and alternative thresholds, NASDAQ issued a non-compliance notice to SONN under Rule 5550(b)(1).
Why It Matters: The fluctuation in Sonnet BioTherapeutics&#8217; stock value is not an isolated incident. The healthcare sector has seen several stocks experience significant movements. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/movers/25/07/46255004/12-health-care-stocks-moving-in-thursdays-after-market-session">12 healthcare stocks</a>, including Beta Bionics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBNX#NASDAQ">BBNX</a>) and Cognition Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGTX#NASDAQ">CGTX</a>), also experienced notable changes in their stock values on Thursday.
Notably, Sonnet BioTherapeutics&#8217; stock had previously experienced a significant decline in September 2024, following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41032415/why-sonnet-biotherapeutics-sonn-shares-are-down-19-today">reverse stock split</a> announcement. The company&#8217;s stock fell by 19.9% after the announcement.
Price Action: With a market cap of $12.41 million, SONN closed at $3.92 on July 3, down 5.54% from the previous close of $4.15.  Despite the dip, the stock surged 14.29% after hours to $4.48, suggesting increased investor interest. The rebound after the dip indicates the volatility of shares on Wednesday.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings has a Momentum in the 94th percentile, here is <a href="http://Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings">how the stock fares</a> on other parameters.

Sonnet BioTherapeutics Drops 5% Intraday, Rebounds 14% After Hours Amid Delisting Concerns

Janet Godwin, the CEO of test company ACT, says the best career advice she ever got was to stop scheming about your next promotion and make today's job unmissable.
What Happened: "If you're so busy thinking about what you're going to do next, I guarantee you you're not putting enough energy and time into what you're doing today," the longtime ACT executive recalls advice she once received from her boss as she <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/29/act-ceo-janet-godwin-worked-same-company-35-years-long-term-success-not-job-hopping/">spoke</a> to Fortune.
Godwin, now 59 and chief executive of the college-admissions test maker, calls that warning "some of the best advice I ever received as a young employee."
Godwin argues that constant hopping can backfire, leaving résumés rich in titles but thin on mastery. "You need to learn and mature in your current job before you have your eyes set on something else," she said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46249419/widows-social-security-and-health-insurance-cut-off-all-because-a-death-certificate-took-too-long">Widow&#8217;s Social Security And Health Insurance Cut Off — All Because A Death Certificate Took Too Long</a>
She speaks from one company&#8217;s experience. The former English major joined ACT in 1990, writing test questions, and rotated through nearly every department before becoming CEO in 2020, just days before pandemic lockdowns shuttered test centers. "That's what I mean about being curious. Because if you think you know where you're going to be 10 years from now, you probably don't," she said.
Why It Matters: Despite Godwin&#8217;s view on frequent job switching, research shows Gen Z is approaching corporate life with a vastly different attitude than previous generations. Gen Z has a clear <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46129668/gen-zs-gig-economy-mindset-prioritizing-flexibility-skill-development-and-work-life-balance-in-corporate-america">gig economy mindset</a> when it comes to working in corporate America, as noted by experts in a recent report.
Financial influencer Vincent Chan, meanwhile, believes that staying at the same job is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45793441/vincent-chan-reveals-the-top-financial-mistake-people-make-64-of-job-hoppers-say-switching-jobs-actually-leveled-up-their-career-faster">biggest financial mistake</a> you can make. Job hopping may be scary, but it can also lead to higher earnings, he says.
That said, the numbers suggest that frequent job-hopping has its downsides as well. Research shows someone who switches jobs every two years in their twenties could forfeit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/45852450/american-job-hobbers-are-silently-bleeding-retirement-savings-a-problem-big-enough-to-alarm-the-likes-of-suze-orman">more than $90,000</a> in retirement savings, an amount which is nearly the median U.S. nest egg.

Gen Z Loves Job-Hopping, But This Boss Who Stayed In The Same Company For 35 Says There's An Upside To Staying Put

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang has added nearly $25 billion to his net worth year to date as the chip giant's market value surges past tech titans to become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46253485/nvidia-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs-whats-driving-the-record-breaking-run">most valuable company</a> in the world — but he's still trailing just behind former Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer.
What Happened: Nvidia hit an all-time high on Thursday, closing with a market capitalization of $3.88 trillion, edging out Microsoft and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to take the top spot globally.
The rally came amid broader gains across U.S. equity markets, fueled by stronger-than-expected labor market data that eased recession fears.
The Bloomberg Billionaires <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a> shows Huang's net worth has grown to $139 billion year-to-date — an increase of $24.8 billion — placing him tenth among the world's richest people.

Trump&#8217;s Next Big Tech Payday Could Be From YouTube After Settling Lawsuits With Meta And X: &#8216;Productive Discussions&#8217; Underway</a>
Former Microsoft chief Ballmer, also benefiting from the tech surge, sits in fifth place with $172 billion, after gaining $25.5 billion this year.
Analysts, including Wedbush Securities&#8217; Dan Ives, predict Nvidia and Microsoft could be the first companies to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46188671/nvidia-microsoft-on-track-to-achieve-4-trillion-market-cap-says-analyst-dan-ives-tech-bull-market-is-still-early">reach a $4 trillion</a> valuation this summer.
The optimism is largely fueled by the global AI boom, in which Nvidia plays a foundational role through its dominance in graphics processing units (GPUs).

Why It's Important: Nvidia's rise reflects broader trends in technology, AI infrastructure and government policy. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46251714/wall-street-today-stock-market-news-thursday-nvidia">House and Senate passed</a> "One Big Beautiful Bill," which increased tax credits for semiconductor manufacturing from 25% to 35% for facilities expanding domestic production by 2026.
The company also stands to benefit from strong technical indicators. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), where Nvidia accounts for over 21%, has formed a "Golden Cross" — a bullish signal suggesting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46230357/nvidia-taiwan-semiconductor-broadcom-drive-chip-stocks-to-a-golden-cross-will-history-repeat-with-145-rally">continued upward momentum</a>.
Price Action: Nvidia shares climbed 1.33% during Thursday's regular session but dipped 0.056% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>. The stock is up 15.20% so far this year and has gained 24.21% over the past 12 months.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that NVDA maintains a solid upward trend across the short, medium and long term. While its value ranking remains relatively weak at 6.92, its momentum and growth scores are strong. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed performance metrics are available here</a>.

Nvidia, Crowdstrike, Wolfspeed, Cadence Design Systems And Microsoft: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Donald Trump has turned his attention to 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>) as settlement talks progress in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39759624/meta-removes-heightened-penalties-on-donald-trumps-accounts-a-day-after-ex-president-threatens-to-pu">his lawsuit against</a> YouTube, a subsidiary of Google, following multimillion-dollar payouts from Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and X, formerly Twitter, over similar claims of political censorship.
What Happened: Trump sued YouTube, along with its CEO Sundar Pichai, in 2021 after the platform banned his account in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The lawsuit alleges that YouTube engaged in "impermissible censorship" under pressure from U.S. political leaders, violating Trump's First Amendment rights.
Court filings from late May reveal that both sides are now in "productive discussions" and requested a delay in proceedings until Sept. 8, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5384572-youtube-trump-january-6-ban-lawsuit/">reported</a> The Hill.

Why It's Important: Earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/43325503/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-pays-trump-25-million-to-settle-lawsuit-over-facebook-instagram-ban-after-jan-6-riot-a-big-year-for-redefining-our-relationships-with-governments">paid $25 million</a> and Elon Musk's X paid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43680987/elon-musks-x-to-pay-trump-10-million-over-twitter-ban-after-zuckerbergs-meta-coughed-up-25-million-who-else-is-left">$10 million to settle</a> similar lawsuits with Trump.
Earlier this week, Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) also agreed to pay <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/07/46212970/trump-wins-16-million-settlement-from-paramount-over-cbs-60-minutes-kamala-harris-interview-but-no-apology-issued">$16 million to resolve</a> a lawsuit brought by Trump regarding a "60 Minutes" interview featuring then–Vice President Kamala Harris.
However, the company did not offer an apology or acknowledge any wrongdoing as part of the settlement.
Price Action: Alphabet Inc.'s Class A shares slipped 0.017% in after-hours trading, and its Class C shares edged down 0.0055%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Sundar Pichai Next? Trump's Next Big Tech Payday Could Be From YouTube After Settling Lawsuits With Meta And X: 'Productive Discussions' Underway

Editor's Note: The headline in this story has been updated to reflect Strategy's recent name change. Crypto analyst Willy Woo recently proposed a unique strategy for creating a U.S. strategic reserve, which includes the nationalization of the Michael Saylor co-founded Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
What Happened:&nbsp;In an X post on Wednesday, Woo outlined his hypothetical playbook for establishing a U.S. strategic reserve. 
He suggested revaluing&nbsp;the gold strategic reserve to&nbsp;market price and selling it for cash. The next step, according to Woo, would be to nationalize Strategy Inc., especially during a bear market when mNAV is low, and pay all shareholders fair value. This would allow for bulk Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purchases&nbsp;without driving up the&nbsp;price.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">If I was to create a US strategic reserve, this would be my playbook. 1) Revalue the gold strategic reserve to market price, sell it for cash 2) Nationalise MSTR, ideally when mNAV is low during a bear market, pay out all shareholders fairvalue. This is bulk BTC purchase…
&mdash; Willy Woo (@woonomic) <a href="https://twitter.com/woonomic/status/1940864120276111400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 3, 2025</a></blockquote>

Woo further explained that Strategy shareholders would then scramble&nbsp;to buy back their BTC&nbsp;exposure,&nbsp;driving up the price exponentially.&nbsp;The remaining cash could then be used to buy more BTC. Lastly, Woo proposed announcing an X-prize style competition for&nbsp;the US private space industry&nbsp;to mine near-Earth asteroids&nbsp;for commodities.

Nationalize Michael Saylor's Strategy? Crypto Analyst's Nuclear Option 'Playbook' For US Bitcoin Dominance (CORRECTED)

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is set to embark on a South Carolina tour next week, sparking rumors about his potential presidential run in 2028.
What Happened: Newsom is scheduled to meet voters and tour several rural counties in South Carolina. The South Carolina Democratic Party announced the two-day tour, named &#8220;On the Road With Governor Gavin Newsom&#8221;, which will take place next week on Tuesday and Wednesday, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5384839-newsom-traveling-south-carolina-amid-2028-speculation/">reported</a> The Hill.
Newsom will be visiting counties including Florence, Marion, Chesterfield, Kershaw, Oconee, Pickens, and Laurens. State party chair, Christale Spain, emphasized that the visit aims at &#8220;building partnerships, uplifting communities, and showing rural voters they aren't forgotten.&#8221;
Newsom, the leader of America&#8217;s largest economy and the world&#8217;s fourth-largest, had previously visited South Carolina in early 2024. He is frequently mentioned as a top contender for the Democrats&#8217; 2028 presidential nominee.
South Carolina was selected in 2022 as the first voting state in the party&#8217;s presidential nominating calendar, starting with the 2024 presidential election.

Why It Matters: Newsom&#8217;s recent disagreements with President Donald Trump over immigration raids in Los Angeles have boosted his popularity. Tensions escalated after Trump backed the idea of arresting Newsom amid the then-ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles. 700 Marines were deployed and California sued the Trump administration over federalization of the California National Guard.
Newsom&#8217;s South Carolina tour is not his first. In 2024, he embarked on a three-day campaign swing in South Carolina and Nevada, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36707575/gov-newsom-to-tour-south-carolina-and-nevada-in-support-of-biden-with-focus-on-rallying-rural-voters">rallying support</a> for President Joe Biden and focusing on engaging rural voters in key states.
Newsom&#8217;s political rivalry with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is also noteworthy. In 2023, Newsom suggested that DeSantis <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34964420/gavin-newsom-believes-ron-desantis-regrets-running-for-president-he-took-the-bait">regretted his decision</a> to run for presidency.

Gavin Newsom Is Going To South Carolina Next Week To Remind Rural Voters There They Aren't Forgotten, Presidential Run In 2028 On The Cards?

A divorced mother is facing a $24,000 Social Security overpayment notice — and she says she's just as shocked as anyone.
The woman, who <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SocialSecurity/comments/1lisnku/ssi_overpayment/">posted</a> on Reddit's r/SocialSecurity forum, explained that she had been receiving monthly benefits on behalf of her 16-year-old son. These payments were tied to her ex-husband's Social Security disability claim. But now, the Social Security Administration is demanding she pay it all back.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Surprise Debt: &#8216;I Had NO Clue&#8217;</h2>
"My ex-husband and I have been divorced for 13 years," the mother wrote. "We share custody of a 16-year-old." And she is the custodial parent.&nbsp;

For nearly two years, she received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/46056038/still-working-at-69-eligible-for-social-security-should-he-keep-waiting-or-claim-now">benefits</a> for her son — known as auxiliary benefits, which are available to children of certain disabled parents. The catch? The ex-husband had reportedly returned to work during that time without informing SSA, making him ineligible for disability — and by extension, making their son ineligible for the auxiliary payments.
"I had NO clue what my ex was doing," she added. "And I have no way of repaying $20,000+ in 30 days."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why the SSA Is Seeking Repayment</h2>
Overpayments can happen when someone receives more benefits than they are eligible for. According to the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-overpay-ussi.htm">SSA</a>, reasons can include unreported income, changes in living arrangements, or no longer meeting disability requirements.
Even though the overpayment was triggered by the ex-husband's failure to report his work activity, the notice went to the custodial parent who had received the funds on the child's behalf. Under SSA rules, representative payees — those who receive benefits on behalf of another person — can be held responsible if an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46131760/i-thought-i-could-still-work-a-little-retiree-hit-with-surprise-9648-social-security-overpayment-notice">overpayment</a> occurs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Can She Do Now?</h2>
Reddit commenters were quick to suggest next steps:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Ask for a waiver: The SSA allows individuals to request a waiver of overpayment if they believe the overpayment was not their fault and repaying it would cause financial hardship. To qualify, the recipient must also show that they didn't know — or couldn't have known — the payments were incorrect.</li>
<li>File an appeal: If the mom believes she shouldn't owe the money or that the amount is incorrect, she can request a reconsideration. If filed within 60 days of receiving the notice, benefit payments may continue while the SSA makes a decision.</li>
<li>Request reassignment of the debt: "Ask the person handling your case to assign the overpayment to your husband since it is 100 percent on him," one Reddit user advised.</li>
</ul>
Another wrote, "This is a textbook case for getting a waiver. Your kid should not be responsible for something your ex did."

This situation highlights a growing concern among beneficiaries who receive funds on behalf of someone else — especially minors.
