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 is at a critical juncture in its evolution, with industry experts like Gene Munster questioning whether the tech giant can adapt to the AI-driven future or risk being left behind like eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>).
What Happened: During Alphabet's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44995955/alphabet-q1-earnings-highlights-google-search-youtube-cloud-show-robust-momentum">first-quarter 2025 earnings</a> call on Thursday, Philipp Schindler, Google's chief business officer, highlighted the growing adoption of AI overviews, a feature that summarizes search results using AI.&nbsp;
"We've continued our efforts to help more people ask entirely new questions, bringing more opportunities for businesses to connect with consumers," Schindler said, adding that the feature is now available in over 15 languages across 40 nations.
He also noted that AI overviews are now being used by more than 1.5 billion users worldwide.

However, the rollout of this feature has not led to significant improvements in monetization. Schindler said that AI overviews continue to generate revenue at the same rate as before.
&#8220;On the ads in AI Overviews, late last year actually, we launched them within the AI Overviews on mobile in the U.S, and this builds on our previous rollout of ads above and below,&#8221; he said. Adding, &#8220;AI overviews overall, we see the monetization at approximately the same rate, which gives us a strong base on which we can innovate even more.&#8221;

Why It&#8217;s Important: Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, took a more critical stance. He said that AI overviews might help keep the business stable in the short term, but long-term growth depends on how Google adapts its search results page.
Google&#8217;s current search results—featuring a mix of AI overviews, blue links, and organic links—might not be enough to compete with newer, more streamlined search models like Elon Musk's Grok, OpenAI's ChatGPT, or Anthropic's AI model Claude, Munster noted.
Munster then cited Doug Clinton, managing partner at Deepwater, who compared Google's situation to eBay's struggles in adapting to a more competitive environment.
"The fork in the road" for Google is how it handles its search results page, Munster explained, adding that if it doesn't evolve like Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) did in e-commerce, Google might face a future similar to eBay&#8217;s.

Can Google Adapt Like Amazon Or Will It Face eBay's Fate? Gene Munster Says ChatGPT 'Overhang' Isn't Going Away, Shares Candid Take On The Path Forward

Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) engages in the integrated energy and chemicals operations in the U.S. and internationally.
It will report its Q1 2025 earnings on May 2. Wall Street analysts expect the company to post EPS of $2.39, down from $2.93 in the prior-year period. According to data from Benzinga Pro, quarterly revenue is expected to be $48.41 billion, down from $48.72 billion a year earlier.

</ul>
The 52-week range of Chevron stock price was $132.04 to $168.96.
Chevron's dividend yield is 4.96%. It paid $6.84 per share in dividends during the last 12 months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Chevron</h2>
On Jan. 31, the company announced its Q4 2024 earnings, posting revenues and other income of $52.23 billion, beating the consensus of $46.75 billion, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43382627/chevron-falls-as-q4-profits-decline-amid-lower-oil-output-dividend-hike-offers-silver-lining">Benzinga</a>.
Adjusted net earnings were $3.63 billion, with adjusted EPS at $2.06 in the quarter, missing the consensus of $2.11.
"The company started up several key projects in the Gulf of America, including the industry-first, high-pressure Anchor project. In Kazakhstan, Tengizchevroil completed the Wellhead Pressure Management Project and recently started up the Future Growth Project," said CEO Mike Wirth.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Chevron Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Chevron dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $24,194, which is around 180 shares at $134.18 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (4.96% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0496= $24,194 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Chevron stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 180 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Chevron has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 37 years.

"The 100-day moving average of Bitcoin netflow from exchanges has dropped to its lowest level since February 2023. This essentially indicates the highest Bitcoin outflow from exchanges since that date," the firm added.

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Bitbull suggested two probable possibilities for Bitcoin: a breakout continuation or a pullback before the &#8220;real run&#8221; that may begin in September.
"Either way… the path to $120,000+ looks wide open," Bitbull added.

<li>Charles Schwab head Rick Wurster has offered a timeline for the firm to launch spot cryptocurrency trading.</li>
<li>Charles Schwab is seeing significant interest in its cryptocurrency business.</li>
<li>The firm has recently inked a cryptocurrency-related partnership with a Trump-controlled firm.</li>
</ul>
Over the past few years, more and more traditional finance firms have leaned into the cryptocurrency space, seeking to capture the growing demand for emerging digital assets. The trend only looks set to intensify under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44816420/trump-administration-is-only-looking-to-accumulate-bitcoin-bo-hines-says">he has thrown his weight behind the industry</a> unlike any president before.
Charles Schwab (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) is preparing to expand its cryptocurrency services.&nbsp;

In November, Charles Schwab President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42136031/charles-schwab-prepares-for-spot-cryptocurrency-trading-under-new-leadership">Rick Wurster said</a> that the firm, which already offered cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds and futures, would offer spot cryptocurrency trading once it believed that the regulatory environment in the U.S. had improved. Now, with several regulatory agencies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43857831/sec-scales-back-crypto-enforcement-expands-focus-to-cyber-fraud">changing their tune on the nascent market</a> months into the Trump administration, Wurster has offered a concrete timeline for the move.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spot Cryptocurrency Trading Coming To Charles Schwab Soon?</h2>
Wurster said that Charles Schwab will likely launch spot cryptocurrency trading services &#8220;in the next 12 months,&#8221; in a Q1 earnings <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4775965-the-charles-schwab-corporation-schw-2025-spring-business-update-conference-call-transcript">call</a> last week, a move that will better position the firm to compete with firms like Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Fidelity.
Wurster disclosed this timeline when asked whether the firm intended to shift from its cautious approach to the cryptocurrency market to better compete with its peers.
&#8220;Our expectation is that with the changing regulatory environment, we are hopeful and likely to be able to launch direct spot crypto and our goal is to do that in the next 12 months and we&#8217;re on a great path to be able to do that,&#8221; he said.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Indeed, Charles Schwab appears to be taking significant strides toward its goal of offering more cryptocurrency services. The firm in February <a href="https://riabiz.com/a/2025/2/20/charles-schwab-corp-names-head-of-digital-assets-with-no-cryptocurrency-chops-but-entrusted-by-inner-circle-to-make-big-critical-decisions-fast">named</a> Joseph Vietri, its&nbsp; branch network head, to the newly created role of head of digital assets.
These steps come as Wurster said Charles Schwab is seeing significant interest in its cryptocurrency-facing business.
&#8220;We are doing well in crypto already today,&#8221; he said during last week&#8217;s call, citing growth in new accounts and a 400% increase in visits to Charles Schwab&#8217;s cryptocurrency website. He said that the data suggested that market participants are seeking &#8220;a trusted brand&#8221; to work with.
&#8220;We&#8217;re confident we will be a great destination for investors interested in crypto,&#8221; Wurster said.
Meanwhile, Charles Schwab&#8217;s planned launch of spot trading services is not the only way it is expanding its involvement in the cryptocurrency space.

Alphabet, Intel, Meta, Amazon, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

As tensions between the U.S. and China over trade <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44861156/america-first-is-ok-but-not-america-alone-says-jamie-dimon-as-he-calls-for-us-china-engagement-amid-trade-tensions-start-with-a-phone-call">reached a boiling point today</a>, a statement of the legendary investor Charlie Munger has resurfaced on the topic of tariffs.
What Happened: In a joint interview with CNBC alongside Warren Buffett and Bill Gates in 2019, Munger addressed the growing trade dispute between the world's two largest economies.
At the time, markets were rattled by a tweet from then-President Donald Trump threatening to hike tariffs on Chinese goods to 25%.
When asked about the implications of such tariffs, Munger didn't mince words.

"I don't think we want a full-scale tariff war as high as both sides can make it," Munger said. "That would be massively stupid."
He acknowledged that negotiations would likely leave both countries feeling bruised, but insisted that discomfort was part of the process.
"If both of them are a little disappointed with the negotiations and feel roughed up, that's the way they should feel," Munger said. "Since a settlement is so much better than a trade war for both sides, they ought to just get used to having a little loss of face and make some kind of a settlement. And I think they will."
As global leaders grapple with renewed trade tensions, Munger's words serve as a reminder: "A good settlement is better than a lovely world war."

Why It's Important: Earlier this month, Trump, who is in his second term as President, imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with a 125% tariff on U.S. products.
On Tuesday, he announced a <a href="http://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44942449/trump-pledges-substantial-cut-in-china-tariffs-but-refuses-to-make-it-zero-if-they-dont-make-a-deal-we-will-set-the-deal">substantial cut to the steep tariffs</a> on Chinese goods, though they won't be fully eliminated. &#8220;It won't be that high, not going to be that high,&#8221; the President said, adding that, but it &#8220;won&#8217;t be zero&#8221; either.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly described the current tariff levels as &#8220;unsustainable&#8221; and expressed optimism about a potential &#8220;de-escalation&#8221; in trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
Following this on Thursday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44973283/china-denies-trumps-trade-talk-assertion-calls-for-abolition-of-unilateral-tariffs-no-factual-basis">denied the existence</a> of any ongoing bilateral trade negotiations with the U.S., stating that the reports of progress in such talks are without factual basis.

Charlie Munger Once Observed That A Full-Scale US-China Tariff War Was 'Massively Stupid': The Legendary Investor Didn't Mind If Both Beijing And Washington Got Bruised Up In Talks Though — Here's Why

Japan&#8217;s government has announced a series of emergency economic measures to counteract the adverse effects of increased tariffs imposed by the United States. The move, announced on Thursday, comes as Japan prepares for further trade discussions with the U.S. next week.
What Happened: Japan&#8217;s government, led by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, introduced a set of emergency economic measures to mitigate the negative effects of increased tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, <a href="https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2025/04/14b8a2a4c18a-update1-japan-unveils-emergency-economic-steps-to-curb-impact-of-us-tariffs.html">according</a> to Kyodo News. 
The measures aim to support corporate financing and stimulate consumption as Japan prepares for a second round of trade talks with the U.S. next week.
The relief package includes five key components, such as reducing gasoline and diesel prices by 10 yen per liter and offering subsidies for energy bills. Additionally, the government plans to expand low-interest loans for smaller companies starting next month. Economic Revitalization Minister Ryosei Akazawa is expected to visit the U.S. from Wednesday for discussions with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, potentially seeking exemptions or revisions to the tariffs.
Japan&#8217;s efforts come as Trump has increased import duties on cars, steel, and aluminum, posing a significant threat to global trade stability. Depending on the outcome of the upcoming negotiations, Ishiba&#8217;s administration may implement further measures to protect Japanese manufacturers and maintain consumer confidence.
At the time of writing, Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 index was seen trading 1.2% higher at 35,454.06.

Why It Matters: The tariffs imposed by the U.S. have placed Japan in a challenging position, especially given the significant impact on its automotive industry. Analysts have warned that the 25% tariff on automobiles could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44522387/japanese-automakers-face-29-billion-tariff-hit-nissan-mazda-subaru-most-at-risk-says-analyst">lead to price increases</a> ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 for imported vehicles, affecting sales and profitability for companies like Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru.
In recent discussions, Trump expressed optimism about the progress in negotiations with Japan, highlighting the importance of these talks in addressing the $63 billion trade surplus. However, Ishiba has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44857178/trump-joins-japan-tariff-talks-calls-progress-big-as-63-billion-trade-surplus-looms">cautioned that the negotiations will be challenging</a>.
Furthermore, tensions have been exacerbated by Trump&#8217;s claims of non-tariff barriers, such as the alleged Japanese vehicle safety tests, which Japan&#8217;s transport ministry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44913967/trumps-bowling-ball-tale-bounces-back-japan-refutes-presidents-car-safety-test-claims">has refuted</a>.

Japan's Counterpunch To Trump Tariffs: Emergency Measures Deployed As US Trade Talks Loom

Kevin O'Leary thinks the biggest reason people wait to have kids is simple—money.
&#8220;The reason people don&#8217;t have kids earlier is they&#8217;re expensive,&#8221; the investor and TV personality said during a recent Fox News <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1914441467189219356">interview</a> he shared on X. He tied the trend of delayed parenthood to rising living costs and the sky-high price of education. &#8220;So we&#8217;ve got a few things to fix ourselves,&#8221; he added.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Waiting Longer to Start Families</h2>
O'Leary reflected on his own life and said he wishes he had his children sooner. &#8220;What you learn in life is, when you get older, you realize you wish you had your kids earlier,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Family is the best thing you can get in America. If I could go back in time, I would have had them a decade earlier.&#8221;

During the interview, he was asked about policies like baby bonuses and fertility incentives, which the Trump administration has floated as ways to boost the U.S. birth rate. O'Leary didn't offer strong support or opposition but brought up a familiar name: Elon Musk.
&#8220;I think Elon&#8217;s doing a great job making up for the rest of us,&#8221; he joked. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s on kid 14 now. Good for him.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Real Costs of Raising Kids</h2>
O'Leary's comments reflect a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42805973/300000-and-counting-the-cost-of-a-decision-many-parents-regret">real financial hurdle</a> for many Americans. According to <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Brookings_Cost-to-raise-a-child_inflation-adjusted-2.pdf">data</a> from the Brookings Institution, it now costs an average of $310,605 to raise a child from birth to age 17 for a middle-income family with two kids.
That's a big jump from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2015 <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/cnpp/2015-expenditures-children-families">estimate</a> of $233,610. The difference is largely due to increases in housing, childcare, food, and education.
According to <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/090415/cost-raising-child-america.asp">Investopedia</a>, housing alone can eat up 32% of a household's income, based on consumer expenditures data. Food can take up 15% to 24%, depending on diet and family size. And childcare? That ranges from 7% to 23%, depending on where you live and what type of care you need.
And this doesn't even include the cost of college. A year at a public university now averages $24,920, while private colleges can run over $58,000 per year.

But even with those tools, the numbers add up quickly.
That's why O'Leary's message resonates: it's not about people not wanting kids, it's about whether they can afford them.
&#8220;We're in a very interesting situation now because people are waiting longer,&#8221; he said. And as many parents later realize, time is the one thing money can't buy.

'Reason People Don't Have Kids Earlier Is They're Expensive,' Says Kevin O'Leary. However, 'Time Is The One Thing Money Can't Buy'

Having kids used to be something people did in their 20s. Now, it's starting to look more like a midlife milestone.
For the first time ever, more Americans over 40 are giving birth than teenagers. The average age for first-time mothers has hit a record high of 27.5, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr72/nvsr72-01.pdf#3">according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a>, and experts say cost is a big reason people are putting off parenthood. But <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44887160/kevin-oleary-says-500000-is-the-magic-number-to-live-comfortably-you-can-live-off-half-a-million-bucks-and-do-nothing-else-to-make-money">Kevin O'Leary</a> thinks that delay may come with regret — and says Elon Musk is doing what most Americans aren't.

O'Leary <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1914441467189219356">posted</a> a message on X that was part reflection, part economic reality check. "The reason people don't have kids earlier is they're expensive," he wrote. "This is kind of an issue around the cost of living and the price of education. So we've got a few things to fix."
Attached to the post was a clip from a recent Fox News segment. In it, O'Leary was asked about President Donald Trump's pitch for baby bonuses and a New York Times headline that said the idea was to "persuade women to have kids." His response? "It's interesting," he said. "I think Elon is doing a great job making up for the rest of us. I think he's on kid 14 now."
He doubled down in the clip: "At the end of the day, the reason people don't have kids here — they're expensive." O'Leary pointed to the cost of education, housing, and childcare, calling it a system that's not optimized for young families.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
He also tied the issue to broader global concerns, noting that even countries like China have struggled with population planning. "Even the Chinese for a while started to think, ‘Wait a second, how do we feed all these people?' And it goes back to the tariff wars."
But the most personal part came when O'Leary turned inward. "We are in a very interesting situation now because people are waiting longer," he said. "And what you learn in life, which is kind of crazy, is when you get older, you realize you wish you had your kids earlier."
"Family is the best thing you can get in America," he said. "If I could go back in time, I would have had them a decade earlier."

Fertility treatments and financial planning may play a role, but many simply feel they can't afford kids in their 20s.
Still, O'Leary's message cuts through the economic fog: if you wait until everything is "affordable," you might be waiting forever. And while Musk's massive family may not be for everyone, O'Leary's point is clear — delayed parenthood may make financial sense, but it comes at a personal cost.

Tariff policies and plans by the Trump administration are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">not being well received</a> by many consumers in the U.S. and people around the world.
A British billionaire is the latest to speak out on the negative impact the tariffs could have on global economics.
What Happened: Billionaire Richard Branson, best known for the Virgin Group and subsidies, is not being quiet when it comes to speaking out about President Donald <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44961882/iphone-resecue-apple-tariff-worries">Trump's tariff plans.</a>
"He's in danger of doing so much damage in the world. It's just sad, incredibly sad," Branson said earlier this week while boarding a Virgin Atlantic flight, as reported by The Times.
Branson said Trump is "in danger of doing so much damage" to the world with his tariff policies.
"The world was on the verge of a complete meltdown two weeks ago."
The billionaire said Trump's tariff decisions "have financially done a lot of harm."
With Trump backtracking on some tariff plans, Branson said the president's policymaking is showing signs of being "erratic."
"The unpredictability is just awful for everybody around the world."
Branson said people are delaying decisions on investment and spending with the unpredictability caused by Trump worldwide.
The billionaire said companies will "manage as we always do" to fight on in the tariff era. Branson said his cruise ships and airlines were booming before the trade war caused "a bit of softness in the U.S."
Branson said the softness for Virgin Atlantic for flights from the U.S. to Europe has partially been offset by Virgin's new route from Toronto to London and Canadians upset by Trump's tariffs and his "51st state" label placed on Canada.
"Canadians are flooding the U.K. and are not going to America."

More Criticism: Along with criticizing Trump's tariff policies, Branson also took exception to the U.S., led by Trump, deciding to "jump side" on Ukraine in their fight with Russia.
Branson said this put the U.S. on the wrong side of history and "should worry the world the most."
The billionaire said it could be a "fairly small elite of people" around the president causing the U-turn on Ukraine.
"I don't think he's carrying the vast majority of Americans in what he's doing. Most American people are decent individuals. Many Americans I know are just very sad."
Branson asked if Trump will "abide by the treaty America signed in 1994" and support Ukraine. The billionaire said if America won't support Ukraine, Europe needs to step up.
"We've got to ramp up weapons supplies, like we haven't done since the Second World War."
