President Trump, Elon Musk Hold News Conference At White House; President Trump Says Musk Will Build His Whole Car Here

Amazon.com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) cloud unit chief acknowledged the company&#8217;s aggressive expansion of server farms globally and boost of access to the latest artificial intelligence chips from&nbsp;Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Amazon Web Services (AWS) opened a cluster of data centers in Mexico in 2025, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-30/amazon-pledges-to-continue-aggressive-data-center-expansion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Friday, citing AWS CEO Matt Garman&#8216;s interview.
Garman told Bloomberg that the cloud division is also building new facilities in Chile, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.

Garman also acknowledged strong demand. He said AWS was working with Nvidia to expand its stock of the latter&#8217;s latest GB200 semiconductors, which are available for AWS customers to test.
Garman expressed appreciation for the opportunity to host OpenAI&#8217;s models on AWS. Recently, OpenAI received permission to explore other partnerships beyond Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
Wells Fargo analysts said in April that Amazon had paused some of its data center leasing talks, especially in international markets, following a similar move by Microsoft.
Microsoft abandoned data center projects in the U.S. and Europe due to an oversupply of electricity relative to current demand forecasts.

Amazon Expands Global Data Centers, Boosts Access To Nvidia AI Chips For Cloud Customers

Shares of Mullen Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MULN#NASDAQ">MULN</a>) tumbled 25.4% to $0.08 on Friday afternoon, extending recent losses following the company's announcement of a 1-for-100 reverse stock split.
What To Know: The electric vehicle manufacturer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/stock-split/25/05/45679654/mullen-automotive-stock-is-tumbling-thursday-whats-driving-the-action">aims to regain compliance</a> with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement through the reverse split, which will take effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 2.
Approved by shareholders at a May 21 special meeting, the split will consolidate every 100 shares of Mullen&#8217;s common stock into a single share. The move will reduce the number of outstanding shares from approximately 80 million to about 800,000. While no fractional shares will be issued, any fractional holdings will be rounded up.
Mullen&#8217;s common stock will continue trading under the symbol &#8220;MULN&#8221; on a split-adjusted basis starting June 2. However, the company cautioned that there is no guarantee the split will bring shares above the $1.00 threshold required for continued Nasdaq listing.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MULN Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Mullen Automotive&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MULN has a 52-week high of $2,867,995.30 and a 52-week low of $0.075.

Reuters Reports Japan Economy Minister Akazawa Reportedly Says, Aware Of Comments By Trump And Others On Nippon Steel Deal For U.S. Steel, Waiting For Official Announcement Of Terms

Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>) shares are trading <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">slightly higher on Friday</a>.
On Thursday, the company reported first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.60, beating the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45674314/burlington-beats-q1-earnings-ceo-vows-to-absorb-tariff-heat-through-gains-elsewhere" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $1.41</a>. Quarterly sales of $2.50 billion missed the Street view of $2.52 billion.
The company&#8217;s CEO, Michael O&#8217;Sullivan, stated that while tariffs are expected to significantly impact merchandise margins, he is confident the company can offset this pressure in other areas of the profit and loss statement, provided tariffs do not rise beyond current levels.

Here are the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BURL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">key analysts&#8217; views</a> on the company:
Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated the Outperform rating on Burlington, lowering the price forecast from $340 to $300.
In an analyst note, Telsey noted that acquiring prime retail locations remains a key part of Burlington&#8217;s strategy to expand its footprint and draw in high-value customers, especially as consumers increasingly prioritize value.
However, due to macroeconomic uncertainty and rising costs tied to acquiring leases from bankrupt retailers, Telsey lowered the firm&#8217;s price forecast.
She highlighted that Burlington is adjusting its strategy and staying agile in response to current conditions.
While tariffs are creating short-term challenges, management believes it won&#8217;t cause lasting structural shifts in the retail sector.
The company&#8217;s FY25 outlook factors in a 30% tariff on imports from China and 10% on goods from other countries.
To reduce its reliance on China, Burlington is collaborating with vendors and sourcing more products already located in the U.S., Telsey noted.
She added that the company has several levers across the cost of goods sold and SG&amp;A to help offset higher costs and support profitability.
BofA Securities analyst Lorraine Hutchinson maintained the Buy rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $350.
According to Hutchinson, the increased order volatility driven by shifting tariffs could actually improve merchandise availability for the off-price sector.
She noted that Burlington&#8217;s direct sourcing exposure remains modest at 8%, mostly tied to categories like Home and gifting.
The analyst has modeled a flat gross margin for the second quarter. She anticipates 60 basis points of pressure on gross margin in the second half of the year as tariffs begin to flow through.
However, she suggested that mitigation strategies could offset this future pressure once Burlington and its vendors have had sufficient time to adjust their production processes and pricing structures.
The company has also seen strong comp performance at higher price points, with customers responding well to elevated merchandise. Hutchinson stressed that this trend will continue, especially as more price-sensitive consumers shift toward value options in response to broader retail price increases from tariffs.
Price Action: BURL shares are trading higher by 0.23% to $228.33 at last check Friday.

Can Burlington's Profit Levers Deflect Tariff Impact? Analysts Weigh In

On Thursday, Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) reported that first-quarter 2026 earnings&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45592571/best-buy-q1-earnings-preview-analyst-flags-tariff-fallout-cuts-fy25-outlook-amid-profit-risk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fell short of expectations</a>.
The company's first-quarter sales fell around 1% (comparable sales fell 0.7%) year over year to $8.77 billion. They missed the analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $9.22 billion.</a>
&#8220;Today we are updating our full year guidance to incorporate the impact of tariffs,&#8221; said Matt Bilunas, Best Buy CFO. The retailer now expects annual comparable sales growth to be up-or-down 1%. The adjusted operating income rate will likely be similar to last year at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45669267/best-buy-whiffs-on-sales-earnings-tariff-pressures-mount" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately 4.2%</a>.
For Q2 FY26, Bilunas expects comparable sales to be slightly down to last year. He added that the company's adjusted operating income rate will be approximately 3.6.

Best Buy lowered its fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings from $6.20-$6.60 per share to $6.15-$6.30 per share versus consensus of $6.13 per share.
The company lowered its sales guidance from $41.4 billion to $42.2 billion to $41.1 billion to $41.9 billion. The consensus hovers around $41.44 billion.

Wedbush on Friday lowered its price target from $75 to $70 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BBY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Neutral rating</a>.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Analyst Matthew McCartney says the revised outlook embeds consumer behavior and remains relatively consistent through the year. Value-focused shoppers remain &#8220;willing to make big-ticket purchases if they need to or when they see compelling technology.&#8221; The firm expects a &#8220;much more compelling valuation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45669267/best-buy-whiffs-on-sales-earnings-tariff-pressures-mount">following Thursday&#8217;s sell-off</a>.&#8221; </li>

Piper Sandler lowered its price target from $92 to $82 on Thursday, keeping an overweight rating.

<li>Analyst Peter J. Keith writes, &#8220;To the positive, the impact from tariffs was less than expected and appears manageable &#8211; albeit with some price increases that could negatively impact consumer demand in 2H.

KeyBanc Capital Markets on Thursday wrote Best Buy&#8217;s Q1 results reflect continued headwinds within the consumer electronics industry. It reiterates the Sector Weight rating.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Analyst Bradley Thomas writes, &#8220;While we are encouraged with the updated guidance and management's initiatives, we believe there remains risk to comps in 2H as comparisons become more difficult and have uncertainty around demand destruction related to price increases.&#8221;</li>

Truist Securities on Thursday reiterated Neutral rating on Best Buy, increasing the price target from $64 to $69 with a relatively balanced risk/reward.

<li>Analyst Scot Ciccarelli writes, &#8220;Despite the benign projections on tariffs, sales momentum remains muted and we are looking at the 3rd straight yr of flattish earnings.&#8221;</li>

In the first quarter, 47 transactions were reported, including 34 mergers and acquisitions. That&#8217;s the highest M&amp;A volume since the fourth quarter of 2022, according to investment banker Kevin Taggart.
In <a href="https://www.mertztaggart.com/post/q1-2025-behavioral-health-m-a-report">a blog post</a> published this week, Taggart explained that renewed interest in the intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and autism segments was a key driver of the momentum. The firm tallied 12 transactions in Q1, the highest level since 2021.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy providers, in particular, are back in high demand. 
"The dust has seemed to settle" following the pandemic-era wage inflation and a wave of bankruptcies among large ABA providers, Taggart, a managing partner at Mertz Taggart, wrote. That shift has led to heightened buyer interest, especially in the wake of major exits.
The mental health subsector continues to show strong and steady deal flow, too. Twenty-nine transactions (19 M&amp;A and 10 growth investments) were announced in Q1, roughly matching the 30 deals reported in Q4 2024. 
Demand for psychiatric hospitals is particularly robust, though limited supply constrains deal volume. "We've had more groups ask us for psych hospitals since Q1 this year than probably any quarter in the last three or four years," Taggart said. "But there are fewer smaller operators out there."
Taggart also pointed to an ongoing trend: sustained investor appetite for high-valuation growth deals. "Money has continued to pour into these growth deals, which surprised us a bit," he said, signaling continued bullish sentiment across behavioral health verticals.

'Contradicting RFK Jr., CDC keeps recommending covid vaccine for kids' - Washington Post

The iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NASDAQ">FXI</a>), which tracks the performance of 50 of the largest Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, fell 1.91% to $34.94 on Friday afternoon, under pressure from renewed U.S.-China trade tensions and broad market weakness.
A federal appeals court <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/05/45689974/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-as-appeals-court-temporarily-reinstates-tariffs-the-market-hate-uncertainty-says-expert">temporarily reinstated</a> most of the recent tariffs imposed by President&nbsp;Donald Trump, pausing a lower court ruling that had invalidated them. The stay allows the administration to continue its appeal, further stoking U.S.-China trade tensions.
What To Know: Friday&#8217;s decline also comes as President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45701116/wall-street-slumps-as-trump-reignites-china-trade-tensions-nvidia-wipes-out-earnings-rally-whats-driving-markets-friday">accused</a> China of "totally" breaching a prior tariff agreement, sparking fresh fears of a trade war resurgence. Reports indicate the White House is preparing expanded tech sanctions, potentially targeting companies with indirect links to already-sanctioned entities.
These geopolitical jitters weighed heavily on global markets. The S&amp;P 500 lost 1% and the Nasdaq-100 dropped 1.3%, with only defensive sectors managing gains.

While the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the core PCE index, cooled to 2.5% year-over-year in April, suggesting subdued price pressures, consumer spending growth slowed sharply to 0.2%, signaling softening demand. 
At the same time, consumer sentiment remained at a three-year low, and inflation expectations for the next year surged to 4.5%. FXI&#8217;s sharp drop Friday reflects investor anxiety over both external trade risks and internal U.S. economic fragility, as sentiment shifted away from risk assets heading into the weekend.

iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI) Drops As Trade Tensions Resurface, Economic Data Sends Mixed Signals

When a 65-year-old woman named Dottie wrote in to Suze Orman's "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-will-i-really-be-able-to-retire">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, she was looking for reassurance about her retirement savings. What she got was much more: a strong reminder that financial success is about more than just the numbers in your bank account.
Here's what Dottie shared — and why Orman believes her situation is stronger than she thinks.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Snapshot of Dottie's Finances</h2>
Dottie described herself as a newly single 65-year-old woman in good health. She works part time and brings in about $3,000 a month from her job, along with $1,600 in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45521151/4000-senior-bonus-tax-break-proposed-but-critics-say-its-a-consolation-prize-for-broken-social-security-promises">Social Security</a>. She plans to continue working for another three to four years.
Her savings include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>$350,000 in certificates of deposit</li>
<li>$250,000 in an IRA</li>
</ul>
She owns her car outright, has no debt, and although she rents, her living expenses are low. She even makes sure to enjoy herself and spend on fun activities.
Her question for Orman was simple: "How far behind am I in retirement savings at this stage?"

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Suze Orman: "You Are So Far Ahead"</h2>
Orman's response was immediate and enthusiastic.
"Oh, Dottie," she began, "it's not how far behind you are in retirement savings at this stage. It's how far behind you happen to be in comparing yourself to others."
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45587754/i-contributed-after-tax-amounts-to-a-pre-tax-ira-can-i-withdraw-those-contributions-to-open-a-roth-account-heres-what-suze-orman-says">Orman</a> explained that many people judge their financial situation by comparing it to others — those who appear wealthier or live more extravagantly. But appearances can be deceiving. Someone might own multiple homes and drive a luxury car, but still be drowning in debt.
"You, my dear, are so far ahead," Orman said. "You have no debt. You own your car outright. You have $250,000 in your IRA. You have $350,000 in CDs, and you're going to get Social Security. Are you kidding me? You are going to be just fine as long as your expenses are always less than the money that you have coming in."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Debt — Not Income — Tells the Real Story</h2>
Throughout her career, Orman has emphasized a key lesson: your expenses matter more than your income. It's not about how much you earn or have saved — it's about what that money needs to cover.
To illustrate her point, Orman recalled her experience doing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45256709/approaching-retirement-suze-ormans-2025-plan-for-safe-high-earning-cash">retirement planning</a> for Pacific Gas and Electric employees. She noted that workers with modest pensions and small savings often fared better in retirement than high-earning executives with multiple homes, expensive cars, and constant financial pressure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Reminder for Anyone Nearing Retirement</h2>
For those approaching retirement, Orman's message is clear: don't measure your financial health against others. Instead, focus on your own expenses, your savings, and whether your income will reliably cover your needs.
"You are not behind," Orman told Dottie. "You are ahead of most everybody out there."
As long as Dottie keeps her expenses lower than her income — and continues to live within her means — Orman believes she's on track for a comfortable retirement.

Suze Orman Tells 65-Year-Old With $600K Savings And No Debt: 'You Are So Far Ahead'

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44438885/charlie-munger-told-a-20-year-old-that-getting-rich-through-investing-is-damn-near-impossible-and-you-might-need-10-million-in-the-bank">Charlie Munger</a> lived near Paramount Studios—and never once took the bait. While others got starstruck by Hollywood, he stayed unimpressed and uninvested. At the 2023 Daily Journal meeting, months before his passing, Munger didn't just dodge questions. He dropped truth bombs.
By then, he'd seen it all: the Great Depression, tech booms, dot-com busts, and Bitcoin hype. But nothing rattled him quite like showbiz.
So when CNBC's Becky Quick <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44939515/charlie-munger-was-asked-if-disney-was-still-a-good-investment-they-once-owned-the-world-now-its-a-bloodbath-welcome-to-human-life">asked him about Disney</a>, she got the kind of answer only Munger could give.
"Practically every business that Disney has has gotten tougher than it used to be," he said. "Again, welcome to human life."
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.30/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
That's how he opened. No dramatic buildup. Just a clear, cold observation: nothing stays easy forever—not even for a company that once "owned the world," as Munger put it. He recalled Disney's era of dominance—"The Lion King" conquering Broadway, content triumphs stacking up, victory after victory.
"They went from triumph to triumph, marching, marching, marching," he said. "All of a sudden, on practically every front, it's more difficult. This is what happens."
Munger wasn't writing Disney off. He noted the company still had real assets. But he didn't sugarcoat what they're up against. "How would you like running the sports, ESPN, now at Disney compared to its heyday?" he asked. "It's going to be way harder for them."
Even the movie business, he warned, looked grim. "Movies look, to me, like it's going to be a bloodbath, too. It's not a bit easy."
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;
That wasn't nostalgia talking. It was analysis. "In the heyday of ESPN, Disney made nothing but money out of ESPN. It was a total goldmine," he said.&nbsp;
When the conversation shifted to Paramount—a large Berkshire holding at the time—Munger distanced himself fast. "I live within a few blocks from Paramount Studios and I don't even know anybody at Paramount," he said. "I have avoided the movies like the plague as an investor all my life."
He was just getting started.
"I've never made an investment in the movie business in any way, shape, or form. It always gives me the willies," he said. Then came the Munger rundown: "I don't like the unions, I don't like the crazy agents, I don't like the goddamn crazy lawyers, I don't like the crazy movie stars."
Even after his passing, his instincts seemed to echo. At the 2024 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/04/buffett-says-berkshire-sold-its-entire-paramount-stake-we-lost-quite-a-bit-of-money.html">Warren Buffett revealed</a> he had finally pulled the plug on Paramount —and paid the price.
"I was 100% responsible for the Paramount decision," Buffett admitted. "It was 100% my decision, and we've sold it all and we lost quite a bit of money."

While Munger had taken a lifelong stance against Hollywood, Buffett took a position—then an exit.&nbsp;
For Munger, it wasn't just the numbers—it was the culture. "Everything about it is not my culture," he said. "I liked those old English actors when they came over. I grew up with them. But, basically, movies are not my scene, so I've avoided it."
He wasn't against performers or artists making a living. "It may be a very good place to make a living as an actor or a writer or a musician," he allowed. "But it's a hard place to make money if you're an investor."
Munger never had time for chaos, hype, or industries run on personalities and promises. He wanted a margin of safety, cash flow, and predictability—and for him, the movie business had none of it.
Even in his final year, he kept doing what made him a legend: stripping things down to what they really were—and walking away when they didn't make sense.
