Packaging Corporation of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKG#NYSE">PKG</a>) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the containerboard business of Greif, Inc. for $1.8 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close by the end of PCA's third quarter, subject to certain customary conditions and regulatory approvals.
The Greif containerboard business includes two containerboard mills with approximately 800,000 tons of production capacity and eight sheet feeder and corrugated plants located across the United States. The business generated approximately $1.2 billion in sales and $212 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the 12 months ended April 30, 2025 (the LTM period).
Synergies are estimated to generate pre-tax benefits of approximately $60 million and are expected to be fully realized within two years after closing. The synergies are projected to come from improved operational and production capabilities and efficiencies at the mills, increased integration, mill grade optimization and lower transportation costs. Approximately one half of the benefits are expected by the end of the first year with the remainder being received by the end of the second year.
The purchase price represents a multiple of 8.5X LTM EBITDA and, with $60 million in benefits from synergies, the purchase price represents a multiple of 6.6X LTM EBITDA. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings immediately.
PCA is expected to finance the transaction with $1.5 billion of new debt and cash on hand. PCA's pro forma leverage ratio (net debt to EBITDA) will be approximately 1.7X after completion of the transaction.

The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) ("GEO" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into a purchase agreement with SDCC Middle Block, LLC (the "Seller"), an affiliate of Holland Partners Group, to acquire the 770-bed Western Region Detention Facility located in San Diego, California (the "San Diego Facility") for $60 million. GEO currently leases the San Diego Facility for approximately $5.1 million annually under a lease agreement that expires on March 31, 2029. GEO has a contract with the U.S. Marshals Service for the exclusive use of the San Diego Facility, which generates approximately $57 million in annualized revenues.
The purchase of the San Diego Facility is expected to close on July 31, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and is expected to be funded as a like kind real estate property exchange with proceeds from the previously announced sale of the GEO-owned Lawton Correctional Facility in Oklahoma (the "Lawton Facility"), which is expected to close on July 25, 2025, resulting in an estimated capital gains cash tax savings of approximately $9.5 million.
Following the closing of the sale of the Lawton Facility and the purchase of the San Diego Facility, GEO expects to have approximately $222 million in net proceeds. GEO expects to use the net proceeds, along with cash on hand and available liquidity, to pay off senior secured debt, including approximately $300 million in floating rate debt, which is expected to position GEO to consider potential future capital returns.

The Education Department's loan servicer, MOHELA, is urging federal student-loan holders who filed for an income-driven repayment plan before April 27 to submit a new application, saying the do-over "may expedite processing."
What Happened: Spotted by Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamminsky/2025/06/30/student-loan-servicer-clarifies-who-should-reapply-for-an-idr-plan/">first</a>, the fresh guidance, posted on Monday after an earlier, muddled alert, adds that the original request will be canceled once the new form is filed. MOHELA recommends using the Internal Revenue Service data-retrieval tool on StudentAid.gov, restored in late March after a shutdown tied to litigation over the SAVE plan.
The system is straining under a backlog of nearly 2 million unprocessed IDR applications, <a href="https://protectborrowers.org/new-court-filing-reveals-backlog-of-2-million-borrower-payment-plan-applications/">says</a> the Student Borrower Protection Center (SBPC). Another <a href="https://tcf.org/content/commentary/the-assault-on-the-save-plan-has-brought-student-debt-relief-to-a-crossroads/">8 million</a> SAVE enrollees have been stuck in court-ordered forbearance since last summer, halting progress toward loan forgiveness. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court injunction also forced the department to pull the IDR form in February and <a href="https://studentloanborrowerassistance.org/idr-application-is-back-up/">reopen it</a> only partially on March 26.
MOHELA now says it has resumed processing for IBR, PAYE and ICR plans, but applications for SAVE or a "lowest payment" option remain frozen. Borrower advocates caution that the new filing offers no guarantee of speed and could trigger additional months of administrative forbearance that do not count toward forgiveness.

No similar reapplication notice appears on the websites of other major servicers, and the department's own IDR-litigation page omits the advice.
Why It Matters: MOHELA's credibility has taken a hit over time. State investigations and a federal penalty last year <a href="https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/media/documents/2024/AFT%20v.%20MOHELA_Complaint%2007.22.2024.pdf">alleged</a> the company misbilled millions of borrowers and posted interest during the SAVE freeze. Online forums remain flooded with <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1k1ueys/mohela_misreported_my_loans_during_save/">reports</a> of phantom interest and delinquency marks.
Single borrowers who can import verified IRS data may see the quickest results, reveal anecdotal evidence according to the Forbes report, while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44890297/married-borrowers-could-see-major-changes-to-student-loan-payments-whats-happening-with-idr-plans">married filers</a> often face longer waits. Until courts resolve the SAVE lawsuit, MOHELA says those accounts will stay in forbearance.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has collected more than $106 billion in customs revenue since Donald Trump assumed the presidency, with a significant portion attributed to the administration&#8217;s tariffs.
What Happened:&nbsp;The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Monday that the CBP has amassed $106.1 billion in customs revenue since Trump&#8217;s inauguration. A significant portion of this revenue—$81.5 billion—was generated by tariffs imposed during the Trump Administration.
The CBP has achieved a success rate of over 99.5% in collecting customs duties and tariffs.&nbsp;The department has taken enforcement measures that led to recovering an additional $16.3 billion in revenue by targeting over 35,000 shipments identified as high-risk for duty evasion or requiring further payments.
A Senior DHS official stated, "We are proud to help President Trump make America richer and reverse a broken trade system that resulted in millions of jobs shipped overseas and made us dependent on foreign adversaries for essential goods.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/30/trump-tariffs-customs-revenue?ref=biztoc.com">reported </a>that from the start of the current fiscal year through the end of May, tariff collections are about 65% higher compared to the same period last year, according to Treasury data. Furthermore, the overall effective tariff rate has reached its highest point since the late 1930s, according to the Yale Budget Lab.

Why It Matters: The Trump administration&#8217;s trade policies have been a subject of global debate. The administration&#8217;s tariffs have been a significant source of revenue for the U.S. government. In April, U.S. customs revenue&nbsp;surged to an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44979972/us-treasury-hits-record-15-billion-in-customs-and-excise-tax-haul-amid-trumps-trade-policies">all-time high</a>, delivering at least $15 billion in customs duties for the month — a more than 60% increase over previous periods.
However, the administration&#8217;s approach to trade has also sparked criticism. French President&nbsp;Emmanuel Macron&nbsp;recently&nbsp;criticized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46186877/emmanuel-macron-calls-tariffs-blackmail-white-house-shoots-back-saying-trump-is-doing-whats-right-for-our-people">powerful nations</a>&nbsp;using tariffs as "blackmail" instruments, calling trade wars an "aberration."
Moreover, the Trump administration&#8217;s trade strategy has reportedly shifted, with the U.S. now&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46188192/trump-administration-reportedly-scales-back-ambitions-for-comprehensive-trade-deals-before-tariff-deadline">favoring narrower agreements</a>&nbsp;to avoid the reimposition of U.S. tariffs. This change in strategy is a departure from the White House's initial plan to secure 90 trade deals during the 90-day pause in reciprocal tariffs announced by President Trump in April.

Tariffs Propel US Customs Revenue To A Record $106 Billion Since Trump's Inauguration

The most oversold stocks in the information technology sector presents an opportunity to buy into undervalued companies.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down.

Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) released its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46189067/li-auto-inc-june-2025-delivery-update" rel="noreferrer noopener">latest delivery numbers</a> on Tuesday, reporting 36,279 vehicles delivered in June 2025. This figure represents a 24.1% year-over-year decrease.
However, for the second quarter of 2025, the company saw a 2.4% year-over-year increase, delivering a total of 111,074 vehicles. As of June 30, 2025, Li Auto&#8217;s cumulative deliveries since its inception have reached 1,337,810.
In comparison, Li Auto delivered 47,774 vehicles <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39574028/whats-going-on-with-chinese-ev-stocks-nio-li-auto-xpeng-on-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">in June 2024</a>,&nbsp;up 46.7% year-over-year.

Despite an earlier downward revision, Li Auto&#8217;s second-quarter delivery figures surpassed its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46136523/chinas-li-auto-cuts-outlook-as-xiaomi-challenges-ev-giants" rel="noreferrer noopener">adjusted guidance</a>. On June 27, the company had lowered its second quarter delivery forecast from 123,000-128,000 vehicles to about 108,000, explaining the change was due to temporary effects of sales system enhancements.
This adjustment to Li Auto&#8217;s projections coincided with the market entry of Xiaomi&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) budget-friendly YU7 SUV launch, which intensified pressure on rivals like Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the Chinese EV market.
The company said in a press release that the recently launched Li MEGA Home significantly exceeded sales expectations, making Li MEGA the top seller among MPVs priced above 500,000 Chinese yuan regardless of power source.
With the upcoming launches of the six-seat battery electric family SUV Li i8 in July, and the five-seat battery electric family SUV Li i6 in September, the company will establish a product lineup featuring four extended-range electric SUVs, one flagship MPV, and two high-voltage battery electric SUVs.
As of June 30, 2025, the company had 530 retail stores in 151 cities, 511 servicing centers, and Li Auto-authorized body and paint shops operating in 222 cities. It also had 2,851 supercharging stations in operation in China, equipped with 15,655 charging stalls.
Price Action: LI stock is trading lower by 0.18% to $27.06 premarket at&nbsp;last check Tuesday.

Willy Woo, a widely followed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) influencer and analyst, shared a controversial take Monday that called grouping altcoins and BTC under the "crypto" label a bad idea.
What happened: In an X post, Woo recalled a meeting with whom he claimed was the original creator of the Greed and Fear Index for TradFi.
"I asked him what he thought about BTC vs Alts. He nailed it&#8230; BTC is digital hard money. Alts are technology startups," Woo quoted the person as saying.
Woo, a Bitcoin maximalist, argued that BTC and altcoins are very different, and grouping them under the blanket term &#8220;crypto&#8221; is &#8220;dumbest.&#8221;

Another user, Aldo, argued for greater nuance, pointing out that several altcoins also differed significantly from one another.

Türkiye's leading mobility super app Marti Technologies, Inc. ("Marti" or the "Company") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRT#NYSE">MRT</a>), and the only at scale ride-hailing operator in the country, today announced a new investment plan for 2025 and 2026.
Marti's 2025 and 2026 investment plan consists of two pillars:
<ol>
<li>New city launches: In light of the strong growth of its ride-hailing business in its existing cities of Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya, Marti is launching its business in the new cities of Bursa, Konya, Adana, Kocaeli, Mersin, and Kayseri. These new city launches expand the population living in the cities served by Marti's ride-hailing service 1.5x, from 28.8 million to 42.2 million people. In order to prioritize the growth of its service in its new cities, Marti does not foresee charging drivers in these cities a subscription fee in 2025. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Ride-hailing team growth: Marti will invest in growing and increasing the capabilities of its ride-hailing team to support a full scale ride-hailing business in Türkiye. The team will grow from its current size of around 180 people to approximately 260 people, with an emphasis on hires in the technology, product, business operations, and business performance departments that are key contributors to delivering optimal rider and driver experiences.</li>
</ol>
Together with these investments, Marti reiterates its 2025 revenue forecast of $34.0 million, and revises its adjusted EBITDA&#x2A; forecast from $3.0M to -$17.0M.
Taken together, these investments will further cement Marti's position as the leading ride-hailing operator across Türkiye.
