The collaborative design software start-up Figma is eyeing a valuation of $13.6 billion on its market debut; however, experts predict that its valuation could stretch up to $16 billion including restricted stock units and options.
What Happened: The firm seeks to raise approximately $1.03 billion through its initial public offering, which could value it at $13.6 billion by selling nearly 37 million shares priced between $25 and $28 each.
This announcement comes as the company stated on its <a href="https://www.figma.com/blog/ipo-roadshow-launch/">website</a> on Monday that the proposed offering consists of 12,472,657 shares of Class A common stock being offered by Figma and 24,646,423 shares of Class A common stock being offered by certain of Figma's existing stockholders. 
While this approximately comes up to 37 million shares, Bloomberg&#8217;s equities capital markets reporter Anthony Hughes said that &#8220;I think it&#8217;s interesting because once you add in restricted stock units and options, you know, equivalent of options, and they&#8217;re like, the evaluation will be a bit higher than, more like $16 billion, $16.5 billion.&#8221;
According to him, the deal is going to be priced next week, on Wednesday, July 30.

Venezuela initiated an inquiry on Monday into El Salvador&#8217;s President Nayib Bukele and two other officials on charges of alleged abuse of detained Venezuelans.
What Happened: Venezuela&#8217;s Attorney General Tarek William Saab said at a press conference that the detainees endured human rights violations, including sexual abuse, beatings, and were denied medical care, Reuters reported. They were also allegedly&nbsp;given food and water that&nbsp;made them sick.
Along with Bukele, Venezuela will also probe El Salvador&#8217;s Justice Minister&nbsp;Gustavo Villatoro&nbsp;and Head of Prisons&nbsp;Osiris Luna Meza.

Over 250 Venezuelans, previously incarcerated in El Salvador&#8217;s CECOT prison, were repatriated to Venezuela last week under a prisoner exchange agreement with the U.S. Ten Americans held in Venezuela also returned to their home country.
In an X post, Bukele said that the Nicolas Maduro-led government agreed to a prisoner swap initially, but is now complaining after realizing they lost leverage by releasing hostages.
&#8220;Now they shout and get indignant, but not because they disagree with the deal, but because they just realized they ran out of hostages from the world&#8217;s most powerful country,&#8221; Bukele added.

Why It Matters: This investigation comes amid escalating tensions over the deportation of individuals accused of committing violent crimes by the&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;administration.
Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44805346/trump-appreciates-nayib-bukele-for-taking-in-criminalsel-salvador-president-says-we-wont-return-maryland-man-mistakenly-deported-by-us" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">appreciated</a>&nbsp;Bukele for accepting custody of deportees whom he accuses as gang members. Family members and lawyers of many of the men deny they had gang ties, Reuters reported earlier.

On the other side, Bukele and Trump have accused the Maduro regime of incarcerating activists and journalists, actions against whom have drawn&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/petition/free-the-wrongly-imprisoned-in-venezuela/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">criticism</a>&nbsp;from groups like&nbsp;Amnesty International.

Nayib Bukele Faces Investigation Over Alleged Abuse Of Venezuelan Detainees — El Salvador President Says 'Now They Shout and Get Indignant'

Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong announced plans to take the 143-year-old newspaper public within the next year,
What Happened: On a Monday television interview on &#8220;The Daily Show,&#8221; Soon-Shiong told host Jon Stewart the move aims to &#8220;democratize&#8221; ownership of the publication. &#8220;We&#8217;re literally going to take LA Times public and allow it to be democratized and allow the public to have ownership of this paper,&#8221; he said in the taped interview.
The billionaire owner, who also founded ImmunityBio Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBRX#NASDAQ">IBRX</a>), said the structure would resemble the Green Bay Packers&#8217; public ownership model. A partner organization is developing the framework, according to Soon-Shiong.
Los Angeles Times did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The announcement follows significant operational challenges at the Los Angeles Times. In January, the paper eliminated at least 115 positions, representing over 20% of its newsroom, amid annual losses of $30 million to $40 million, Soon-Shiong previously disclosed.
Executive leadership departures have plagued the publication, including Executive Editor Kevin Merida and Managing Editor Sara Yasin. 
Soon-Shiong acquired the Los Angeles Times and other newspapers from Tronc in 2018 for $500 million.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has renewed his skepticism over the ambitious Stargate project—a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46534661/500-billion-stumble-softbank-openais-massive-ai-vision-faces-setbacks">$500 billion AI infrastructure</a> venture between OpenAI and SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>)—saying the plan lacks actual financial backing.
What Happened: On Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the high-profile Stargate project, announced at the White House six months ago, has stalled.
Despite initial promises of pouring in $100 billion &#8220;immediately,&#8221; the initiative has not secured a single major data center deal.
Instead, the effort has been scaled down to focus on building a smaller facility in Ohio by the end of the year. Disagreements between OpenAI and SoftBank over the structure and control of the partnership have further slowed progress, the report said.

Following the update, Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, reinforcing a comment he made in January. "They simply don't," he wrote, responding to a user who resurfaced his earlier remark—"They don't actually have the money."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It's Important: Musk, whose AI startup xAI is building a large data center in Memphis, has long voiced doubts about the financial and logistical feasibility of Stargate.
The project was initially intended to significantly boost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44069390/elon-musk-calls-softbanks-masayoshi-son-overleveraged-as-16-billion-ai-loan-fuels-debate-about-viability-of-openais-stargate-project">America's AI infrastructure</a> and was led by SoftBank's Masayoshi Son and OpenAI's Sam Altman.
Meanwhile, OpenAI appears to be moving ahead with alternative plans. The company has reportedly secured a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46241424/openais-4-5-gw-lease-from-oracle-fuels-stargates-500-billion-vision">$30 billion deal</a> with Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) to expand its computational capacity.

Elon Musk Doubles Down On OpenAI-Softbank Stargate Doubts—Says 'They Simply Don't' Have Money For The $500 Billion AI Infrastructure Push

Conservative political activist Charlie Kirk issued a sharp warning on the growing use of Buy Now Pay Later services among young Americans, calling the debt model &#8220;predatory&#8221; and structurally unhealthy.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AFRM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AFRM stock here</a>.
What Happened: Speaking on Tucker Carlson&#8217;s show on Monday, Kirk criticized BNPL companies such as Klarna, Affirm Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFRM#NASDAQ">AFRM</a>) and AfterPay, owned by Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>), for offering what he described as an unregulated path to consumer debt.
&#8220;Buy now, pay later is how 60%&#8230; of Generation Z is paying for things month-to-month,&#8221; Kirk says, adding that they are not credit cards, and are thus not regulated by the Credit Bureaus, and have no credit checks.

To further underscore the nature of this practice, he says, &#8220;You can split a pizza into four payments&#8230; This is the modern tech economy. Buy a pizza on credit.&#8221; 
&#8220;We have millions of young people that are financing their Coachella tickets,&#8221; Kirk said, but emphasized that contrary to popular belief, &#8220;most are actually doing this to meet their means,&#8221; not to live beyond them.
Kirk notes that two of the three major BNPL providers are foreign companies, with Klarna based in Sweden and Afterpay in Australia. He says these services often bypass traditional financial safeguards and expose young users to hidden costs, &#8220;the late fees and the penalties make these companies eventually hold cause they know they got you.&#8221;
Kirk warned that the widespread use of BNPL could have long-term consequences on Gen Z's financial health. &#8220;This generation can't own anything,&#8221; he says. &#8220;They owe so much more money than generations prior.&#8221;
Why It Matters: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45719177/klarnas-downside-buy-now-pay-later-users-overspend-and-miss-payments">a recent survey</a>, at least &#8220;half of buy now, pay later users have experienced issues like overspending and missing payments.&#8221;
This comes as a growing share of Americans use BNPL apps, not just for electronics and clothes, but to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45139105/more-americans-are-using-buy-now-pay-later-loans-to-pay-for-groceries-and-falling-behind">pay for groceries</a>. According to a survey conducted by LendingTree, 25% of users on these apps reported using them to pay for groceries, up from 14% in 2024.
During its recent first-quarter earnings call, PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) reported that BNPL users <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45089879/paypal-says-buy-now-pay-later-users-spend-33-more-make-17-more-transactions-pushes-for-global-rollout">spend 33% more</a> per transaction and complete 17% more transactions compared to the average user. 
Price Action: Shares of Affirm were down 3.12% on Monday, trading at $66.75, and are up 0.58% after hours.

Pre-Market Outlook

US Stocks Settle Mixed Amid Strong Earnings: Investor Sentiment Decreases, Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, accused banking giant&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and its CEO Jamie Dimon on Sunday of attempting to stifle fintech and cryptocurrency companies in the U.S. by charging fees for customer data access.
What Happened: In an X post, Winklevoss criticized JPMorgan&#8217;s recent move to charge fees for accessing their customers&#8217; bank-related information via third-party data aggregators, such as&nbsp;Plaid&nbsp;and&nbsp;MX.
The rule, according to him, could bankrupt the firms that help link&nbsp;bank accounts to cryptocurrency companies, such&nbsp;as Gemini and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>).
&#8220;This is the kind of egregious regulatory capture that kills innovation, hurts the American consumer, and is bad for America,&#8221; he said.

Jamie Dimon Trying To Undermine Trump's Plans To Make US Crypto Capital Of The World, Says Tyler Winklevoss

Harrison Global Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMZ#NASDAQ">BLMZ</a>) stock experienced a 36.51% rise in value after the company announced its plans for a strategic business partnership and subsidiary acquisition.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BLMZ">how&nbsp;BLMZ stock is trading here</a>.
What Happened: On Monday, the Japanese audio production and entertainment company, Harrison Global Holdings (formerly known as BloomZ Inc.), disclosed that it had commenced due diligence procedures for the planned acquisition of a subsidiary and a strategic business partnership with Idealize Co. Ltd. The latter is a Japanese event operations, audio, and visual production company. The news led to a surge in the company&#8217;s stock value, which rose by 36.51% in after-hours trading, reaching $0.27.
Through Idealize&#8217;s extensive local network, Harrison Global aims to strengthen its footprint in Japan&#8217;s regional markets.

&#8220;With over three decades of experience in event planning, audio, and visual production, Idealize brings a wealth of industry knowledge and experience that aligns seamlessly with our core operations. This planned acquisition not only enhances our production capabilities, but also creates new avenues for our affiliated VTuber talent to reach wider audiences across Japan," said Ryoshin Nakade, co-CEO of Harrison Global.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Harrison Global has been making strategic moves to expand its business. Earlier in May, Harrison Global had announced a business alliance with M-NEXT Holdings to leverage affiliated talent growth and drive store foot traffic. These moves are part of the company&#8217;s broader strategy to drive growth and innovation in its business.
On July 16, Harrison Global had announced an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/07/46404290/bloomz-shares-are-trading-higher-after-the-company-announced-it-is-partnering-with-hypercommunity-to">investment and strategic partnership</a> with Myth Korea.

The recent announcements of partnerships and planned acquisitions have been positively received by the market, as evidenced by the surge in the company&#8217;s stock value. These developments are indicative of the company&#8217;s growth and its efforts to strengthen its position in the market.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BLMZ">Benzinga Pro</a> data, Harrison Global share price dipped to 0.311%, to $0.19 during regular trading hours on Monday.

Hunter Biden is on a media blitz, aiming at Democrats he blames for his father's political collapse exactly one year after former president Joe Biden ended his re‑election bid, an anniversary that fell Monday.
What Happened: In the debut <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVqiWu1fLdg">episode</a> of "At Our Table," a new podcast hosted by former Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison, the younger Biden said the party "lost the last election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party," accusing Democrats of squandering the advantages of incumbency and "an incredibly successful administration."
He rejected talk of a health cover‑up, insisting the &#8220;ability to keep a secret in Washington is zero."
Days later, he unleashed a three‑hour, profanity‑laced tirade on YouTuber Andrew Callaghan's "Channel 5" <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbkt2vYC4M">program</a>, naming senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn, strategists David Axelrod and James Carville, CNN anchor Jake Tapper, the "Pod Save America" hosts and actor George Clooney among those who stepped on his father.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46535742/ex-trump-advisor-judy-shelton-slams-federal-reserves-900-billion-losses-says-violates-the-norms-to-have-a-fed-chair-who-cant-be-fired">Ex-Trump Advisor Judy Shelton Slams Federal Reserve&#8217;s $900 Billion Losses, Says &#8216;Violates The Norms&#8217; To Have A Fed Chair Who Can&#8217;t Be Fired</a>
He dismissed Clooney as "a brand" and Carville as someone who "hasn't run a race in 40 years," while claiming Axelrod's lone success was "because of Barack Obama."
Hunter also alleged campaign aides gave Biden the sleep aid Ambien before the disastrous June 2024 debate against Donald Trump, leaving the 81‑year‑old looking "like a deer in the headlights." Tapper, whose book on Biden's decline became a bestseller, was derided as having "the smallest audience on cable news."
Why It Matters: The outbursts come as some Democrats try to move past 2024's defeat. Party veterans note Biden's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39540268/trump-attacks-biden-defends-in-high-stakes-no-audience-debate-president-appears-to-freeze-and-fumble?">debate stumbles</a> , moderated by Tapper and Dana Bash, ignited calls for him to step aside, pressure that culminated in his July 21 withdrawal.
Biden later pardoned his son for tax and gun convictions, a move <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42330042/nancy-pelosi-stands-with-biden-on-hunter-pardon-i-support-the-president">defended by House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi</a> but criticized by activists who say similar clemency should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42346107/critics-urge-biden-to-free-non-violent-pot-offenders-after-pardoning-son">extend to others</a>. Hunter Biden's scorched‑earth tour risks reopening those wounds.

Hunter Biden Blames Father Joe's Re-Election Loss On Democrats That Chose Not To 'Remain Loyal,' Rejects Health Cover Up Suggestions

Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) has raised its price target for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock as the investment bank is confident in Elon Musk's FSD ambitions.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: In a new investor note released by the bank on Monday, BofA analysts stated that the EV giant faced more challenges compared to companies like General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
"Tesla is the most challenged among the three OEMs given disappointing deliveries, IRA incentives phasing out, and tariffs," analysts said before adding that the tariff exposure isn't "insignificant."
The analysts also said that the company's sales in the fourth quarter could be affected by the lack of IRA or Inflation Reduction Act incentives ($7,500 EV credit).
However, the analysts also said that the company's Robotaxi operations in Austin inspired confidence "on the promise to deliver unsupervised FSD by the end of 2025," and updated the Tesla price target to $341 from $305, an over 11% increase.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter also hailed Tesla's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46536292/trumps-new-zev-credit-regulations-arent-as-bad-for-elon-musk-says-piper-sandler-tesla-will-still-book-around-3-billion">Robotaxi operations</a> as well as the company's plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46361254/elon-musks-robotaxi-push-expands-to-phoenix-as-tesla-seeks-arizona-approval">expand the service</a> into Phoenix and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46337340/elon-musk-says-tesla-will-expand-robotaxi-services-to-san-francisco-bay-area-in-a-month-or-two">San Francisco Bay Area</a>.
Tesla's FSD, however, could face increased scrutiny after President Donald Trump's NHTSA nominee, Jonathan Morrison, called for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46434613/elon-musks-tesla-could-face-stricter-oversight-as-trumps-nhtsa-pick-targets-autonomous-driving-cannot-sit-back">tougher oversight</a> on autonomous driving in the U.S.
Elsewhere, Tesla recently announced the company's Model 3 sedan had reached the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46512836/elon-musks-tesla-announces-3-million-model-3-units-sold-worldwide">3 million worldwide sales</a> milestone, despite the company's U.S. sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46436501/ev-prices-drop-2-8-in-june-as-incentives-surge-amid-tumbling-tesla-sales">dropping 12.6% YoY</a> in Q2 2025, according to data.

Bank Of America Sees 11% Upside For Tesla Stock Despite EV Credit Phase-Out, Tariff Risks: 'Promise To Deliver Unsupervised FSD'

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to include comments from an Anthropic spokesperson.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reportedly told employees that the company would seek funding from Middle-Eastern states despite ethical concerns, arguing that staying competitive in the global AI race requires access to massive capital, even if it empowers authoritarian regimes.
What Happened: Amodei told staff via Slack that the artificial intelligence startup backed by Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc.&#8217;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 would pursue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45462404/trump-unveils-over-200-billion-worth-of-deals-with-uae-including-major-etihad-airways-commitment">investment from the United Arab Emirates</a> and Qatar, reversing its previous stance against accepting funds from authoritarian nations, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-dario-amodei-gulf-state-leaked-memo/">reported</a> Wired.
"Unfortunately, I think ‘No bad person should ever benefit from our success' is a pretty difficult principle to run a business on," Amodei wrote, acknowledging that such investments would likely enrich "dictators."
He admitted the move could appear hypocritical but framed it as necessary to remain on the AI frontier: "Without it, it is substantially harder to stay on the frontier."

Amodei cited the scale of available capital in the Middle East—upwards of $100 billion—as a driving force behind the decision. He said Anthropic aims to pursue "narrowly scoped, purely financial investment" to avoid granting foreign investors leverage.
An Anthropic spokesperson told the publication, "We believe fundamentally in sharing the benefits of AI and serve the Middle East and regions around the world commercially, in line with our Usage Policy."
An Anthropic spokesperson told <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a> in an emailed statement, &#8220;We believe fundamentally in sharing the benefits of AI and serve the Middle East and regions around the world commercially, in line with our Usage Policy.&#8221; Why It's Important: Anthropic's decision mirrors moves by ChatGPT-parent OpenAI, which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45612410/fact-check-no-openais-chatgpt-plus-isnt-free-for-all-uae-residents">partnered with a UAE state-backed firm</a> to build data infrastructure abroad.
In 2024, Anthropic had rejected Saudi funding over national security concerns.
In May earlier this year, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45496491/trumps-uae-deal-lands-4-billion-aluminum-hub-in-oklahoma">visited the United Arab Emirates</a> and Saudi Arabia during a four-day tour centered on boosting economic ties.
He was accompanied by a group of prominent tech figures — including Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang — for a meeting with Saudi Arabia's crown prince.
Notably, Anthropic's executives were not in attendance.
Earlier this year, Nvidia criticized AI startup <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45160136/nvidia-blasts-anthropic-for-backing-stricter-chip-bans-on-china-focus-on-innovation-than-tell-tall-tales">Anthropic for supporting</a> stricter U.S. export controls on AI chips to China. The clash followed Anthropic&#8217;s blog post describing bizarre smuggling attempts involving chips hidden in fake baby bumps and lobster shipments.
