BIMA, a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-native DeFi platform, has partnered with exSat Network to advance the use of Bitcoin in decentralized finance. 
The collaboration kicks off with an initial $100 million deployment, equivalent to 1,000 BTC, towards enabling permissionless yield strategies. 
The two firms also revealed an option to scale the capital allocation to $500 million (5,000 BTC) as demand grows.
The alliance positions BIMA as the official stablecoin provider across the exSat ecosystem, integrating its overcollateralized USBD stablecoin with exSat-native assets like esBTC and iBTC. 
This deployment is aimed at allowing Bitcoin holders to tap into DeFi yields without selling their assets or exiting the Bitcoin standard.

"This partnership with exSat marks a major step towards mobilizing Bitcoin as a productive asset in DeFi," said BIMA CEO Sid Sridhar. "We're building the infrastructure to enable secure, capital-efficient deployment of USBD across DeFi and CeFi."
The collaboration comes shortly after BIMA's mainnet launch, which introduced tools for both institutional and retail investors to borrow against Bitcoin and access structured yield products. 
Users can mint USBD stablecoins through an integrated platform that supports major wallets such as Ledger, MetaMask, and XVerse.
exSat Founder Yves La Rose emphasized the long-term vision of unlocking new use cases for Bitcoin as block rewards decline. 
"This collaboration brings us one step closer to building a sovereign Bitcoin banking layer," he said. "By enabling users to borrow USBD against BTC and access permissionless yield, we're expanding Bitcoin's utility without forcing users to sell."
Both teams aim to address a critical gap in Bitcoin's current functionality: the ability to generate yield natively, without compromising on-chain security or decentralization principles.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) took a jab at President Donald Trump on social media, mocking a recent claim and executive order Trump made about slashing drug prices.
&#8220;Good news: Donald Trump, who never lies, just announced he alone has reduced drug prices by 85%,&#8221; Sanders <a href="https://x.com/SenSanders/status/1924887208919507090">posted on X</a> on May 20. &#8220;Quick. Go to your pharmacy. Demand an 85% reduction on your drug prices. Tell them Trump sent you.&#8221;&nbsp;
He also added, &#8220;If that doesn't work, tell him to support the bill I&#8217;m introducing that&#8217;ll do it.&#8221;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Latest Executive Order on Drug Prices</h2>
Sanders&#8217; post came days after Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/delivering-most-favored-nation-prescription-drug-pricing-to-american-patients/">executive order</a> on May 12 aimed at lowering prescription drug costs for Americans. The order focuses on ensuring Americans pay the same or less than other wealthy nations by pressuring pharmaceutical companies to offer &#8220;Most-Favored-Nation&#8221; pricing—the lowest price they offer to any developed country.
According to a White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-announces-actions-to-put-american-patients-first-by-lowering-drug-prices-and-stopping-foreign-free-riding-on-american-pharmaceutical-innovation/">fact sheet</a>, the order allows Americans to buy drugs directly from manufacturers, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44674382/mark-cuban-says-big-insurance-companies-and-pbms-control-healthcare-costs-everyone-has-to-kiss-their-a-and-accept-the-complications">bypassing middlemen</a>. If companies don't cooperate, the Department of Health and Human Services is instructed to take aggressive regulatory steps.
&#8220;Our citizens pay massively higher prices than other nations for the same exact pill,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;We would spend tremendous amounts of money in order to provide inexpensive drugs to another country.&#8221;

Backing up both arguments is a February 2024 Rand Corp. <a href="https://www.rand.org/news/press/2024/02/01.html">study</a> that found U.S. drug prices are on average 2.78 times higher than in 33 other developed nations. For brand-name drugs, the gap is even wider—4.22 times higher.
The Rand report also revealed that in 2022, the U.S. accounted for 62% of global drug sales, despite making up just 24% of total prescription volume.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Really Paying?&nbsp;</h2>
The Trump administration argues Americans are subsidizing both Big Pharma and foreign health systems, while Sanders wants broader government action to force lower prices through legislation.
During a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EHXakUFBs4">briefing</a> on the Make America Healthy Again Commission's report on children's health, Trump criticized other countries for negotiating harder on prices, calling their representatives &#8220;a lot more vicious than us,&#8221; and argued that the U.S. has been footing the bill for lower drug prices overseas for years.
"We are going to now get a reduction in drug costs of up to 89% in some cases, but 50% would be a low, a bad number," Trump said. "It's going to be massive numbers. It's going to be incredible for Medicaid, incredible for all forms of health care. Medicare is going to be; it's going to have a huge impact, so big that nobody can calculate it."

Bernie Sanders Says, 'Trump Just Announced He's Reduced Drug Prices By 85%,' Dares You To Go To The Pharmacy And 'Tell Them Trump Sent You'

Retailer Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) could provide a look at consumer spending and tariffs when the company reports third-quarter financial results Thursday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close.</a>
Here is a look at the analyst estimates, what analysts are saying before the results and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Costco to report third-quarter revenue of $63.19 billion, up from $58.52 billion in last year's third quarter according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0528">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company beat revenue estimates in the second quarter, but has only beaten analyst estimates in four of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect Costco to report third-quarter earnings per share of $4.24, up from $3.78 in last year's third quarter. The company has missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in two straight quarters, while beating estimates in seven of the last 10 quarters overall.

What Analysts Are Saying: After a strong<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45298451/jpmorgan-sees-more-upside-for-costco-as-us-sales-e-commerce-outperform"> April sales figure</a> from Costco, JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers reiterated an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $1,070 to $1,088.
The analyst said the 7.1% U.S. core comparable sales growth in April was ahead of estimates, despite a calendar-related sales headwind from the Easter timing shift.
The month of April also saw the average transaction size up 2.4% year-over-year and e-commerce sales growth of 13% year-over-year.
Along with the positives were several negatives, including weaker sales in Canada and international markets and less early demand in April for non-food items compared to March.
Horvers said Costco has strong global momentum, is seeing market share gains and has exposure to a potential rebound in big-ticket items. The analyst said Costco is a high-conviction stock pick.
Telsey analyst Joseph Feldman called Costco's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44745979/costco-wholesale-posts-strong-march-sales-uptick-in-purchases-ahead-of-tariffs-analysts-say">March same-store sales </a>"impressive," ahead of the upcoming third-quarter results.
"Costco continues to execute well in this uncertain operating environment," Feldman said.
The analyst reiterated an Outperform rating and $1,100 price target after the March sales figures.
Key Items to Watch: Similar to other retail stocks, investors and analysts will likely be centered on any commentary and guidance that involves tariffs.
Costco was one of the early companies to address tariffs ahead of inauguration with the company discussing potential price increases due to tariffs from President Donald Trump.
&#8220;In general, of course, tariffs raise costs. That&#8217;s not something that we see as a positive in general," Costco Chief Financial Officer Gary Millerchip said at the time.
Millerchip said the company had plans in place to prevent possible price increases.
Trump's presidential transition team <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/12/42536470/costco-warns-that-tariffs-raise-prices-trump-team-says-trade-policies-will-make-life-affordable">took exception</a> to the comments from Costco at the time and said Trump's economic and trade policies would make life affordable and more prosperous for the U.S.
Walmart recently reported financial results and said it may have to pass on higher costs to consumers. This comment angered Trump and led to the president telling the retailer to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45536218/walmart-responds-to-trumps-eat-the-tariff-remark-worked-to-keep-our-prices-as-low-as-possible-and-we-wont-stop"> eat the costs.</a>
Costco may have to be cautious in what it says about price increases or face similar pushback from Trump.
The retailer reported positive year-over-year comparable sales for its U.S., Canada and other International segments in the second quarter. Investors and analysts will be watching to see if the momentum continues in the third quarter, along with the e-commerce segment sales.
A Placer.ai <a href="https://www.placer.ai/anchor/articles/wholesale-clubs-find-success-in-q1-2025">report </a>said Costco had visit growth of 2.3% in February, 7.8% in March and 3.4% in April on a year-over-year basis. The third-quarter results will include portions of February and May along with all of March and April.
In the report, Costco's visitor growth was higher than rivals BJ's Wholesale and Sam's Club, which could also indicate some market share gains in the quarter.
Another item investors and analysts could be watching is membership fee revenue. This figure came in at $1.19 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44180426/costco-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-miss-comps-up-6-8-driven-by-strength-in-the-us">the second quarter,</a> up from $1.11 billion in the prior year's second quarter. Costco raised the price of its annual store membership by five dollars in September 2024, a company first membership fee hike since 2017.
While membership fee is a small portion of overall revenue, it is high margin and recurring.
COST Price Action: Costco stock closed Wednesday down 0.46% to $1,013.14 on versus a 52-week trading range of $788.20 to $1,078.24. Costco stock is up 11.4% year-to-date in 2025 and up around 25% over the last year.

&#8220;In&nbsp;Q2, we delivered solid revenue growth, led by strong Commercial performance in Personal Systems and continued momentum behind our future of work strategy,&#8221; said Enrique Lores, president and CEO of HP.
&#8220;While results in the quarter were impacted by a dynamic regulatory environment, we responded quickly to accelerate the expansion of our manufacturing footprint and further reduce our cost structure,&#8221; Lores noted.
Outlook: HP expects third-quarter adjusted earnings of 68 cents to 80 cents per share versus estimates of 90 cents per share. The company also lowered its full-year adjusted earnings outlook from a range of $3.45 to $3.75 per share to a new range of $3 to $3.30 per share.

Deep Dive Into Hain Celestial Group Stock: Analyst Perspectives (8 Ratings)

In the current market session, Bank of America Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) stock price is at $44.03, after a 0.43% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 10.48%, and in the past year, by 14.06%. 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. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748469619_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Bank of America P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
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. 
Bank of America has a better P/E ratio of 13.2 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 12.44 of the Banks industry. Ideally, one might believe that Bank of America Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748469619_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
