As tensions continue to flare in the Middle East, U.S. Stock futures inch lower on Wednesday evening, compounded by the Fed&#8217;s decision to hold rates steady, while warning of lower economic growth and persistent inflation.

This comes amid a Situation Room meeting held in the White House on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel. It is still unclear what was discussed during the meeting or who was in attendance, according <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/world/middle-east/live-blog/israel-iran-live-updates-trump-weighs-us-strike-khamenei-rcna213665">to</a> a report by NBC News.

Earlier in the day, when asked if the U.S. would strike Iran in support of Israel&#8217;s ongoing campaign, President Donald Trump remained undecided, telling reporters, &#8220;I may do it, I may not do it.&#8221;
Meanwhile, defense stocks and ETFs continue their volatile streak with no clarity just yet on American involvement in this new geopolitical conflict.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.25 trillion, following a dip of 0.22% in the last 24 hours.
Major stock indexes closed in the red on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 44.14 points, or 0.10%, to close at 42,171.66. The S&amp;P 500 lost 0.03% to end at 5,980.87. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite was the silver lining, edging up 0.13% to close at 19,546.27.
As widely expected, the Fed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46004338/no-rate-cuts-yet-fed-flags-slower-growth-sticky-inflation">left the interest rates unchanged</a> at 4.25%-4.50%, while signaling slower growth and hotter inflation. Later in the day, Fed Chair Powell called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46006680/powell-holds-line-on-interest-rates-blames-tariff-uncertainty-for-delay-in-cuts">tariffs a significant source of uncertainty</a> but downplayed ongoing tensions in the Middle East.

Analyst Notes: In a statement to Benzinga, Arthur Azizov, founder and investor at B2 Ventures, noted "very few positive developments" are currently occurring.
"If no positive sentiment emerges in the near future, Bitcoin could very well retreat into the $90,000-$84,000 range. On the other hand, if a positive backdrop does appear—particularly if the Fed signals a rate cut—then Bitcoin is likely to reach $128,000 by the end of the year," Azizov said.
He said the key levels to watch are $112,000 and $100,500, with no "major" surges or corrections in sight.
Blockchain analytics firm Santiment stated that the Iran-Israel conflict would continue to cause "volatile and unpredictable price action.
"Despite the initial panic, Bitcoin has remained in the $104,000-$105,000 range, aided by consistent ETF inflows and a lack of follow-through in military actions, mirroring the typical &#8216;risk-off, then stabilize&#8217; pattern seen in previous geopolitical crises," Santiment added.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Rangebound As Fed Chair Jerome Powell Highlights Tariff-Induced Uncertainty: Analyst Says These 2 Levels Are Key For BTC

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly looking to harness the power of generative artificial intelligence to accelerate the development of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/40027650/apples-ai-models-trained-on-googles-custom-chips-not-nvidias-report">custom chips that power</a> its devices, according to senior executive Johny Srouji.
What Happened: During a speech in Belgium last month, Apple's senior vice president of hardware technologies, Srouji, said the company is exploring generative AI to streamline chip design, calling it a major productivity opportunity, reported Reuters on Wednesday.
"Generative AI techniques have a high potential in getting more design work in less time, and it can be a huge productivity boost," Srouji said, according to a recording reviewed by the publication.
He made the remarks while accepting an award from Imec, a prominent semiconductor R&amp;D organization.

During his speech, Srouji highlighted that electronic design automation (EDA) firms like Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>)—both racing to integrate AI—are critical to managing the complexity of Apple's chip development.
Srouji also reflected on Apple's bold move in 2020 to replace Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) chips in Mac computers with its own Apple Silicon. He said that it was a major takeaway from Apple&#8217;s chip development journey was the importance of making bold decisions and moving forward without hesitation.
&nbsp;"There was no backup plan, no split-the-lineup plan, so we went all in," he said. "Including a monumental software effort."
Why It's Important: Last month, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45324239/apples-upcoming-chips-aim-to-challenge-meta-in-the-smart-glasses-battle-report">Apple is developing new chips</a> to power upcoming smart glasses, AI servers and future Macs. Apple aims to launch it by 2026–2027.
Meanwhile, the M5 chip, built on the advanced 3nm N3P architecture, has reportedly entered mass production and is expected to enhance the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro—especially with upcoming Apple Intelligence features.
Price Action: Apple shares have declined 19.38% year-to-date and are down 8.26% over the past 12 months. On Wednesday, the stock rose 0.48% during regular trading but dipped 0.26% after hours, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Hardware Executive Says iPhone Maker Plans To Use AI For Speeding Up Custom Chip Design: 'High Potential In Getting More Design Work In Less Time'

Vladimir Putin has firmly rejected any discussions regarding the potential assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Russian President emphasized the unity of the Iranian people around their leaders in Tehran.
What Happened: Putin stated on Wednesday that he would not entertain discussions about the potential assassination of the Iranian Supreme Leader, as reported by Reuters. 
The Russian President emphasized that the Iranian populace is rallying around its leaders in Tehran.
According to Reuters, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has speculated that military actions could lead to a regime change in Iran. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump mentioned that the U.S. is aware of Khamenei&#8217;s location but has no immediate plans to target him.
When asked about a potential assassination involving Israel and the U.S., Putin firmly stated, &#8220;I&nbsp;do not even want to&nbsp;discuss this possibility.&#8221; He reiterated the importance of finding peaceful resolutions that respect Iran&#8217;s right to nuclear energy and Israel&#8217;s security needs.
Putin also revealed that he has communicated with both Trump and Netanyahu, sharing Moscow&#8217;s proposals for resolving the conflict. He highlighted the importance of maintaining Iran&#8217;s access to civil nuclear energy while addressing Israel&#8217;s security concerns.

Why It Matters: The geopolitical tensions between Iran, Israel, and the U.S. have been escalating, with Donald Trump recently calling for an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/45983526/trump-wants-an-end-not-a-ceasefire-for-the-israel-iran-war-what-that-means-for-etfs">end to the conflict</a> rather than a ceasefire. 
However, Trump&#8217;s demand for Iran&#8217;s &#8220;unconditional surrender&#8221; has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45988507/trump-demands-irans-uncoditional-surrender-stock-futures-remain-steady-defense-shares-trade-higher-in-after-hours-trading">added to the tension</a>.

Ayatollah Assassination Discussion Rejected By Putin: 'I Do Not Even Want To Discuss This Possibility'

President Donald Trump lauded the Senate&#8217;s passing of the stablecoin legislation Wednesday, urging Congress to get it to his desk without delays.
What Happened: In a Truth social post, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump">said </a>that the &#8220;incredible&#8221; GENIUS Act would position the U.S. as the &#8220;undisputed&#8221; leader in digital assets. 
&#8220;Nobody will do it better, it is pure GENIUS!&#8221; Trump stated. &#8220;Digital Assets are the future, and our Nation is going to own it.&#8221;
He further emphasized the potential for massive investment and innovation and asked the House, where the bill will be debated next, to move &#8220;lightning fast.&#8221;
&#8220;Get it to my desk, ASAP — NO DELAYS, NO ADD ONS,&#8221; Trump added.

However, some experts have expressed concerns. Former Bank of England economist Dan Davies warned that stablecoins could pose a &#8216;systemic risk&#8217; to U.S. banks and the dollar. He compared stablecoin issuers to banks that lack the oversight and safeguards of traditional institutions.
The bill passed the closure vote last month despite vehement opposition by&nbsp;Sen.

Trump Cheers 'Incredible' Stablecoin Bill Passed By Senate: 'Get It To My Desk, ASAP — No Delays'

Jack Ma, the billionaire founder of Alibaba Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), once offered a heartfelt roadmap for life, urging young <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44890758/warren-buffetts-success-mantra-for-gen-z-figure-out-what-your-strengths-are-then-pick-the-right-people-and-dont-be-afraid-of-making-mistakes">people to embrace mistakes</a> and older professionals to pass the torch.
What Happened: In a candid talk, Ma outlined how people should approach their careers based on age, underscoring the importance of mentorship, experience and personal fulfillment.
Before 30 years old, it's not which company you go to, it's which boss you follow, Ma said, adding, &#8220;Before 30 years old, it&#8217;s not which company you go [to], it&#8217;s which boss you follow. It&#8217;s very important, a good boss teaches you differently.&#8221;
He advised people in their 20s to be good students and embrace failure as growth. "Any mistake is an income, is a wonderful revenue for you," he said.

"Make enough mistakes. Don't worry, you fall, you stand up," he stated and then telling young people to "enjoy the show."
Between the ages of 30 and 40, Ma recommended thinking clearly about whether you&#8217;re working for yourself. From 40 to 50, he urged people to focus on what they're already good at rather than trying something entirely new.
After 50, Ma suggested shifting gears. &#8220;Work for the young people because young people can do better than you. So rely on them, invest on them, making sure they&#8217;re good.&#8221;
And once you hit 60? "Spend time for yourself," he said.
During the conversation, Ma also admitted regrets, including sacrificing time with family and losing privacy to public life. "If I have another life, I would never do things like this," he said.

Why It's Important: According to Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>, Ma currently has a net worth of $39.3 billion.
Born in 1964 in Hangzhou, China, Ma began his journey as a self-taught English speaker who offered free tours to foreign visitors. After failing the college entrance exam twice, he graduated from Hangzhou Teachers College and worked as an English teacher, earning $15 a month.
His exposure to the internet came during a trip to the U.S. in 1995, leading him to create China Pages, a web service for small businesses. He later <a href="http://alibaba.com/">founded Alibaba.com</a> in 1999 with $60,000 and 17 co-founders.
A major deal in 2005 with Yahoo saw the U.S. company take a 40% stake in Alibaba for $1 billion, but tensions grew after Ma spun off Alipay in 2011 without Yahoo&#8217;s approval.
The dispute was settled, and in 2012, Ma agreed to buy back part of Yahoo's stake for $7.1 billion. Alibaba's IPO in 2014 became the world's largest.
Despite his success, Ma expressed a desire to return to teaching. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/07/27996692/read-what-is-keeping-alibaba-founder-jack-ma-busy-these-days">stepped down as CEO</a> in 2013 and as chairman in 2019.

Jack Ma Says You Need A Good Boss Before 30, But Once You Turn 50 You Need To Take A Different Approach To Life: Here's What The Alibaba-Founder Meant

A Reddit user recently asked a question that hit close to home: &#8220;How is everyone actually affording to live right now?&#8221; The <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/povertyfinance/comments/1lbn3ns/how_is_everyone_actually_affording_to_live_right/">post</a>, shared on the r/povertyfinance subreddit, got hundreds of replies.&nbsp;
Plenty of people related to the question, but what really stood out was the confession: &#8220;I make decent money, but no matter what I do, it feels impossible to get ahead.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Struggling Is The New Normal</h2>
The top-rated comment summed up the mood: &#8220;Only <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42880871/a-couple-asks-can-you-get-away-with-spending-only-300-per-month-on-groceries-heres-what-people-said-most-agreed-on-this-one-thing">spending money on groceries</a>, bills and gas. Can&#8217;t afford anything besides that.&#8221; Others chimed in with similar stories: living off rice and rotisserie chicken, skipping everything except essentials, and still falling short.

</ul>
Multigenerational living came up again and again. People in their 30s and 40s openly admitted to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45484395/a-redditor-asks-if-it-makes-more-sense-to-live-with-their-parents-for-a-few-years-or-move-out-sooner-were-aiming-to-save-200000-or-more">moving back in with parents</a> or siblings just to stay afloat. &#8220;I moved in with my sister. I&#8217;m 40. Unemployed thirteen months from full-time work. It sucks,&#8221; one person said. Another added, &#8220;My daughter and I moved back in with my parents. At least we have that option, idk what we would do if we didn't.&#8221;
For those who don&#8217;t have that kind of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44532343/joe-rogan-says-social-safety-nets-are-very-important-for-people-he-calls-the-bootstraps-mentality-horsesht">safety net</a>, things feel even more dire. &#8220;The broke runs deep in this family tree,&#8221; one commenter wrote. &#8220;Which is how we ended up on this sub in the first place. I wish I had some pride that I could let get in my way.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Debt, Exhaustion And Delayed Gratification</h2>
A lot of people admitted they are simply <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45941152/a-millennial-living-paycheck-to-paycheck-with-100k-in-debt-says-i-should-be-freaking-out-but-i-just-dont-have-the-energy-anymore">going into debt</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;m racking up debt and about to take money out of my 401(k). I&#8217;m not gonna retire anyway,&#8221; one person said. Others are working 60- to 70-hour weeks or juggling multiple side hustles just to stay afloat.

One person broke it down: DoorDash (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NYSE">DASH</a>), plasma donation, cleaning houses, bartering for gym memberships, batch cooking and cutting their own hair. &#8220;All of this is tiring and takes mad discipline, but I&#8217;m trying to stay focused on my goals. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41714026/28-year-old-software-developer-who-retired-after-working-just-7-years-shares-his-stock-portfolio-and">Delayed gratification</a>.&#8221;
Some say staying single has helped their finances. &#8220;Broke up with my partner and now I'm pocketing an extra $2,000 a month. Turns out spending money on food and dates for a second person costs a ton,&#8221; one person wrote. But others pushed back, saying relationships can actually help if both people are financially responsible.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Room For Mistakes</h2>
Even people who say they&#8217;re doing okay admit that one emergency can wipe them out. &#8220;Literally just got a couple months of emergency fund saved up by spending only on food and housing. And then my dog has a $1,500 vet bill,&#8221; someone shared. &#8220;I was so proud of myself for getting a little ahead.&#8221;

Homeowners face their own set of issues. People listed surprise costs like mold, broken pipes, tree removal and furnace repairs. &#8220;Everything breaks all the time,&#8221; one person said. Another added, &#8220;There&#8217;s no such thing as one home project, when one thing breaks, expect at least three other things to crap out on you.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Choosing Frugality Or Being Forced Into It</h2>
Some try to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44449440/if-i-die-a-redditor-lived-frugally-for-20-years-to-secure-their-future-now-a-cancer-diagnosis-is-making-them-question-everything">live intentionally frugal lives</a>. One person said they live on $30,000 a year despite earning more than $100,000. Another shared that they haven't bought new clothes in three years and mend their own whenever possible.
But others say they&#8217;re just surviving, not choosing a minimalist lifestyle. &#8220;I'm frugal af and still don't know how people are doing it. I wouldn&#8217;t call what I'm doing &#8216;living,&#8217; it&#8217;s more like surviving.&#8221;
For many, doing everything &#8220;right&#8221; still doesn't result in financial security.

Someone Finally Said It: 'I Make Decent Money, But No Matter What I Do, It Feels Impossible To Get Ahead'

Consumers reported losing $470 million to text message scams in 2024, the <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/04/new-ftc-data-show-top-text-message-scams-2024-overall-losses-text-scams-hit-470-million">Federal Trade Commission reports</a>.
The most common text message scam was fake package delivery, followed by bogus job opportunities. While these job opportunity scams can vary widely, they most often look like purported recruiters reaching out about positions available at well-known, well-respected companies. Scammers will then ask for identifying information, like social security numbers or driver&#8217;s license details, in order to solidify the offer.&nbsp;

</ul>
&#8220;We are definitely seeing both a growth in reported losses to text scams and also a growth in reported losses to job scams,&#8221; Kati Daffan, an attorney for the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/job-offers-scam-text-layoffs-unemployment-indeed-ftc-remote-work-2025-6">Business Insider</a>. &#8220;Reported losses to job scams increased more than three times between 2020 and 2023.&#8221;
Experts are now warning the outlet that these text message job scams could get worse. As the labor market gets rockier, Americans feel more stress surrounding their financial positions, and people are increasingly looking for remote work options they become easier targets, Business Insider reports. Meanwhile, AI is making the scams easier to run and lending them an air of authenticity that makes them more believable.
&#8220;It&#8217;s likely that as unemployment increases and more people are worried about the economic uncertainty, if the scams aren&#8217;t necessarily increasing, the likelihood that people might fall for them will be,&#8221; Selena Larson, a threat researcher at cybersecurity company Proofpoint, told Business Insider.
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
Identity Theft Resource Center CEO Eva Velasquez explained to Business Insider that the scams are not only lucrative for those behind them because they can "capture not only your data but often your money," but also because they require relatively little effort from the scammers. The scammers are asking for information that would be par for the course in a real hiring process, so it doesn't take much convincing for people to hand it over.
&#8220;[The scam] relies on this concept of social engineering and the hackers being very compelling. They make you feel something, they make you feel excited,&#8221; Larson told Business Insider. &#8220;They make you feel like you want to be a part of this ecosystem, that this job is a great opportunity that you don&#8217;t want to lose.&#8221;
Surprisingly, it's not older generations that are the most likely to fall for these scams, Business Insider reports. Instead, it's millennials and Gen Zers who are used to conducting much of their life digitally.&nbsp;

&#8220;You look at the Gen Zs and the younger millennials and they just click, click, click, click, click, click,&#8221; Alex Quilici, the CEO of YouMail, a service that helps block scam texts and calls, told Business Insider.
At this point, there is no clear path for cracking down on these scams, so it&#8217;s up to the individual consumer to protect themselves. Experts told Business Insider that the best ways to do this are by slowing down when considering these offers, never clicking on links included in suspicious text messages or e-mails, and refusing to send money to unknown entities.&nbsp;
&#8220;One of the reasons that job scams are flourishing is that many people do want to work extra and make extra income, and they&#8217;re looking for an opportunity to do that,&#8221; Daffan says. &#8220;And scammers know that, and so they know there&#8217;s a big market out there if they can have a convincing job scam. And, unfortunately, that is the case.&#8221;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Apollo Asset Management Stock In The Last 10 Years

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43101102/elon-musk-the-richest-man-in-the-world-is-estimated-to-earn-over-23-million-every-single-hour-of-the-day-heres-how-hes-spending-it">Elon Musk</a> has never exactly played it safe with his opinions. So when he was asked in 2018 who inspires him, he didn't go with a fellow tech mogul or rocket scientist.
"Well, Kanye West, obviously," Musk said without missing a beat during a live <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzlUyrccbos">Q&amp;A at South by Southwest in Austin</a>. He then threw in Fred Astaire for good measure and joked, "You should see my dance moves."
The crowd chuckled when Musk dropped Kanye's name—but Musk wasn't laughing. He'd been backing Ye for years. In a 2015 essay for <a href="https://time.com/3824763/time-100-3/">Time's list of the 100 most influential people</a>, Musk praised West's relentless self-belief and unshakable drive.

</ul>
"Kanye's belief in himself and his incredible tenacity — he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut — got him to where he is today," Musk wrote. "He's not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye's been playing the long game all along, and we're only just beginning to see why."
He had the receipts too. In 2011, <a href="https://x.com/mims/status/150387544402575360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Musk shared a photo </a>of Ye touring the SpaceX rocket factory with him. By 2018, West was <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/23/kanye-west-thanks-elon-musk-and-says-he-loves-his-tesla.html">tweeting about his Tesla,</a> saying, "I really love my Tesla. I'm in the future. Thank you Elon Musk." Musk showed up to West's house wearing Yeezys.
It wasn't just sneakers and selfies. In a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/randalllane/2020/07/08/kanye-west-says-hes-done-with-trump-opens-up-about-white-house-bid-damaging-biden-and-everything-in-between/#771c9ab847aa">2020 interview with Forbes</a>, West said Musk was one of only two people advising him on his last-minute presidential campaign. The other was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45844659/kanye-west-once-gifted-kim-kardashian-stocks-in-apple-netflix-amazon-and-disney-and-his-financial-fo">Kim Kardashian</a>. "We've been talking about this for years," West said. "I proposed to him to be the head of our space program."

It was a wild pairing—tech's most unpredictable CEO and hip-hop's most polarizing figure. But it didn't last.
In late 2022, <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/musk-confirms-twitter-has-suspended-rapper-ye-after-swastika-post">West tweeted antisemitic content</a> that included a swastika inside a Star of David. Musk, who had just taken over Twitter, responded by suspending his account. "He again violated our rule against incitement to violence," Musk said at the time. He also unfollowed him.
That should've been the end of it. But in July 2023, Ye's account was quietly reinstated. Multiple outlets, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66351871">including BBC</a>, confirmed the unbanning took place that month. Musk later claimed the decision was made before his acquisition of Twitter was finalized.
By 2025, West had picked up right where he left off. In February, he praised Hitler and promoted <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ye-super-bowl-ad-t-shirt-swastika-kanye-west/">swastika-themed merchandise</a> during a bizarre Super Bowl-adjacent campaign. Two months later, he livestreamed a hateful rant on Twitch, thanking Musk for giving him "free passes."
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
There's been no formal reconciliation. No tweet from Musk, no meeting, no comment. West earlier this month <a href="https://x.com/kanyewest/status/1930709557879439628">tweeted a plea for peace:</a> "Broooos please noooooo. We love you both so much," urging Musk and President Donald Trump to get along. That was it.
The friendship that once inspired essays, sneaker drops, and even political ambitions fizzled with no closure. Still, for a brief moment, Musk didn't point to Steve Jobs or Nikola Tesla when asked who inspired him.
He pointed to Kanye West. Obviously.

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone, with a potential public release expected in 2026, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/apple-looking-make-premium-priced-folding-iphones-starting-year-rcna213793">in </a>a NBC News report.
Kuo said in a post <a href="https://x.com/mingchikuo/status/1935381510296920525">on X:</a> &#8220;Assembly supplier Foxconn is expected to officially kick off the project in late 3Q25 or early 4Q25.&#8221; Kuo also said in March that the foldable device will target high-end consumers with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44165398/apples-foldable-ai-iphone-could-cost-over-2000-20-million-units-shipped-by-2027-analyst?utm_source=chatgpt.com">a premium price tag ranging from $2,000 to $2,500</a>.
Key hardware details — such as a stainless‑steel and titanium alloy hinge — are still under development, as Apple aims to minimize the screen crease and enhance durability, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/18/kuo-apple-yet-to-finalize-many-foldable-iphone-specs/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reported</a> 9to5Mac.com. Rumors suggest the device will feature a book‑style fold with a 7.8‑inch inner display and a 5.5‑inch external screen, measuring around 4.5 mm thin when open and 9–9.5 mm when closed

Analysts also suggest the device may include AI features tailored for multitasking and media, though Apple has not confirmed any specifications.
Huawei and Samsung, Apple rivals, have been releasing folding smartphones since 2019. 
While timelines remain fluid, Apple's entry could redefine foldable — if it solves key durability issues and delivers a polished user experience that goes beyond novelty.

In the current market session, Chord Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHRD#NASDAQ">CHRD</a>) share price is at $104.55, after a 2.16% decrease. Over the past month, the stock increased by 15.52%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 37.31%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Chord Energy P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 21.58 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Chord Energy Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 7.11. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

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.
