President Donald Trump on Sunday touted a new trade agreement with the European Union as &#8220;the biggest deal ever reached in any capacity,&#8221; but critics, however, are questioning the substance behind the headlines.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Ed Elson, co-host of the Prof G Markets podcast, questioned Trump&#8217;s claims, saying that &#8220;this was once again a framework of a deal,&#8221; which means, he says, everything that Trump has been touting over the past week &#8220;is subject to change.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a recurring theme in Trumpland,&#8221; he says, something that has consistently not worked, citing examples such as the $200 billion commitment from China, &#8220;which never actually materialized,&#8221; or the $600 billion investment from Saudi Arabia.

Regarding the Japan trade deal, he pointed to comments from Japan's chief negotiator revealing that &#8220;only 1% of it will actually be invested in America&#8221; with the remaining 99% in the form of a loan. 
Referring to the $750 billion that the EU is going to spend on American energy, Elson says, &#8220;once again, not a deal. Nothing&#8217;s been signed,&#8221; before adding that Europe was already going to buy that energy due to the war in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions on Russia.
NYU Professor Scott Galloway, however, believes that this was a win for Trump, saying that &#8220;this is a good deal for the US and a bad deal for the EU.&#8221; He says, even if it&#8217;s a perceptual win, it is still a &#8220;lowercase win for the Trump administration.&#8221; 
Galloway, nonetheless, believes that the EU's agreement may have been more about optics than substance, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;d like to think that Trump said, &#8216;Give me a win here. Give me a great press release, and I'll continue to ship arms into Ukraine.'&#8221;
Why It Matters: Early this week, Japan&#8217;s Chief Negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46654164/trumps-550-billion-japan-investment-deal-isnt-what-it-seems-tokyos-top-negotiator-says-98-of-it-will-be-loans-and-guarantees">only 1% to 2%</a> of the $550 billion that is set to be deployed in the United States will be actual investments, the rest, he says, will be structured as loans and guarantees. 
Leading economists believe the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46651859/trumps-new-eu-trade-deal-labeled-bad-news-by-economists-as-dow-futures-spike-over-150-points">EU deal is &#8220;bad news&#8221;</a> for American consumers, since they will have to bear the burden of the 15% tariffs. 
However, other analysts and experts have called the deal good for the U.S. stock markets, saying that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46680436/trumps-eu-deal-good-for-us-markets-say-experts-meta-aapl-pltr-among-likely-winners-see-full-list">it removes uncertainties</a>, and at 15%, the tariffs are lower than what was feared earlier.

Trump Calls It 'The Biggest Deal Ever,' But Critics Are Pointing Out 'Nothing's Been Signed' With The EU — Did The President Score A 'Lowercase Win?'

Fred Thiel, CEO of&nbsp;MARA Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), expressed reservations Tuesday about the future success of the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury play popularized by Michael Saylor&#8217;s Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
What Happened: During the company&#8217;s second-quarter earnings call, Thiel praised Saylor and his team for pioneering the Bitcoin treasury strategy, but voiced concerns about the risk of market saturation.
&#8220;You know, kudos to Michael and his team, for what they've done there. But any advantage in any market starts disappearing when you have lots of companies going after it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They can't all be successful.&#8221;
Thiel feared that companies might be forced to sell their coins when their mNAV&nbsp;drops to one or even goes negative. For the curious, mNAV is the ratio of the company&#8217;s market capitalization to the market value of Bitcoin it owns.

&#8220;If Bitcoin, especially for the newer treasury companies, sees a decline, they may be challenged, and people may sell them the stock to get their money out,&#8221; he argued. &#8220;And I think, with as many companies doing this as there are, a certain percentage of them will likely fail. And so that will negatively impact the price of Bitcoin.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Thiel&#8217;s comments came after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46706807/mara-holdings-stock-moves-higher-on-better-than-expected-q2-earnings">MARA&#8217;s second-quarter earnings and revenue</a>&nbsp;beat expectations. The company mined 2,358 BTC during the quarter and held a total of 50,000 BTC, worth nearly $6 billion, on its balance sheet at quarter&#8217;s end.
As of this writing, MARA was the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, trailing only Strategy, which had a stash of over $74 billion in BTC.

MARA CEO Fred Thiel Says When 'Lots Of Companies' Start Buying Bitcoin, The Advantage Disappears: 'Kudos To Saylor...But They Can't All Be Successful'

LG Energy Solutions and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) have signed a deal worth $4.3 billion to supply LFP batteries for the EV giant's energy storage solutions.
Check out the current price of<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla"> TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: The deal would see LG supply batteries to Tesla from its U.S. production facility, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing an anonymous source familiar with the matter.
The LFP battery supply contract is expected to last approximately three years, from August 2027 to July 2030, according to the report, with an option to extend the deal for up to seven years.
Why It Matters: The supply contract arrives at a time when LG had warned that President Trump's tariffs would lead to a decline in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46627485/trump-tariffs-are-causing-decline-in-ev-battery-demand-says-tesla-general-motors-supplier-lg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EV battery demand </a>in America. The company is one of the few non-Chinese LFP suppliers.
However, for Tesla, the contract with LG is the second major deal between Elon Musk's company and a Korean manufacturer, as Tesla recently announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46682096/elon-musk-said-he-would-walk-the-line-personally-following-16-5-billion-samsung-deal-is-this-a-return-to-wartime-ceo-mode">$16.5 billion deal</a> with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) to supply next-gen AI6 chips.
The deal also could be a step forward for Tesla as the company aims to build upon what was a disappointing Q2 earnings call, which saw the company report falling revenue as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46625917/elon-musk-led-tesla-announces-new-offers-incentives-on-entire-lineup-amid-sluggish-us-sales">declining sales in the U.S.</a> and overseas.

Elon Musk's Tesla, LG Energy Solutions Sign $4.3 Billion Battery Deal: Report

Tigo Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TYGO#NASDAQ">TYGO</a>) saw a 50.41% surge in its stock value during after-hours trading on Tuesday, following the release of second-quarter financial results.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TYGO">TYGO stock here</a>.&nbsp;
What Happened: The stock of the California-based <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_optimizer">power optimizer</a> company closed at $1.23 after gaining 0.82% for the day, and soared to $1.85 in after-hours trading, representing a 50.41% increase, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TYGO">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
The <a href="https://investors.tigoenergy.com/news-releases/news-release-details/tigo-energy-reports-second-quarter-2025-financial-results">second-quarter financial results</a>, released on Tuesday, revealed a significant increase in revenue, which surged by 89.4% compared to the second quarter of 2024. This surpassed the market&#8217;s expectations and led to the stock&#8217;s remarkable after-hours performance.

The quarter-three sales guidance, which was higher than expected, also contributed to the stock&#8217;s surge. The company projected quarter-three sales to be between $29 million and $31million, compared to the estimated $23.88M.
Zvi Alon, Chairman and CEO of Tigo stated, "This performance underscores our ability to gain market share in this challenging environment, driven by strong demand for our innovative MLPE products.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Tigo Energy&#8217;s second quarter financial results were impressive, with the company reporting a revenue of $24.1 million, a 89.4% year-over-year increase. The company also reduced the net loss by 60.9% compared to&nbsp; previous year totaled at $4.4 million, a 60.9% decrease compared to a net loss of $11.3 million.
These impressive results, along with the revenue expectation between the range of $29 million to $31 million for the third quarter sales guidance, have contributed to the increase in Tigo Energy&#8217;s stock value.

Tigo Energy Skyrockets 50% After Hours — Strong Q2 Results Fuel Investor Optimism

Google-parent Alphabet Inc. (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>) CEO Sundar Pichai has urged employees to ramp up their use of artificial intelligence, saying the company must boost productivity amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46587283/alphabet-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-google-parent-raises-capex-outlook-due-to-strong-and-growing-cloud-demand">plans for $85 billion</a> in capital expenditures this year.
What Happened: At an all-hands meeting last week, Pichai told staff that the era of adding headcount to scale operations is over, and that Google must now "accomplish more," <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/29/google-execs-say-employees-have-to-be-more-ai-savvy-.html?taid=68894c1cef7df90001b89ad4&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_content=main&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">reported</a> CNBC, citing an audio of the meeting.
"Anytime you go through a period of extraordinary investment, you respond by adding a lot of headcount, right?" Pichai stated, adding, "But, in this AI moment, I think we have to accomplish more by taking advantage of this transition."
"We are going to be going through a period of much higher investment and I think we have to be frugal with our resources," he continued.

Brian Saluzzo, head of Google's infrastructure teams, highlighted urgency in making employees "more AI-savvy," citing internal tools like "Cider," an AI coding assistant now used weekly by 50% of its users, the report said.
Google has also launched "AI Savvy Google," an internal training hub with toolkits and Gemini-based courses built in partnership with DeepMind.
Why It's Important: As Google ramps up AI spending—up from $75 billion to $85 billion in 2025—the tech giant is also trying to cut costs by making its workforce more efficient.
The push comes as competitors like Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Shopify Inc.

Earlier this month, Yahoo Japan also mandated its 11,000 employees to integrate generative AI into their daily routines, aiming to double productivity through automation by 2028, <a href="https://www.techradar.com/pro/yahoo-japan-wants-all-its-11-000-employees-to-use-gen-ai-to-double-their-productivity-by-2028-is-it-a-sign-of-things-to-come">reported</a> TechRadar.
The rise of AI-powered automation has also accelerated layoffs in the tech sector, with up to 80,000 employees affected. Microsoft alone cut 15,000 jobs while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46076895/microsofts-layoffs-news-july-2025-ai-investment-80-billion">committing $80 billion to new AI</a> investments.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, Alphabet Inc.'s Class A shares slipped 0.27% to $195.23, and Class C shares edged down 0.14% to $196.15, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe predicted another leg upward for Ethereum, with a target at $4,100.
"I assumed we&#8217;d had a slightly deeper correction on ETH. Didn&#8217;t happen," the analyst said. "I think we&#8217;ll sweep that level [$4,100] and consolidate for a little."

Bitcoin Trades Flat Ahead Of Fed Interest Rate Decision; Ethereum, Dogecoin Gain: Analyst Says 'Next Impulse' Will Send BTC To $130,000

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been updated with the latest information.
President Donald Trump issued emergency warnings on Tuesday evening following an 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia&#8217;s Kamchatka Peninsula that generated destructive tsunami waves across the Pacific Basin.
What Happened: &#8220;Due to a massive earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean, a Tsunami Warning is in effect for those living in Hawaii,&#8221; Trump posted on X. &#8220;A Tsunami Watch is in effect for Alaska and the Pacific Coast of the United States. Japan is also in the way.&#8221;

The shallow quake struck 74 miles east-southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky at a depth of 12 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The tremor, initially measured at 8.0 magnitude before being revised upward, represents the strongest seismic event in the region since 1952, Reuters reported.
Tsunami waves measuring 10-13 feet struck parts of the Kamchatka Peninsula, prompting Russian officials to evacuate coastal populations. Several people sustained injuries during the evacuation, with one patient jumping from a window, regional health minister Oleg Melnikov told TASS news agency.
Japan&#8217;s weather agency upgraded warnings, predicting tsunami waves up to 10 feet reaching major coastal areas. Authorities ordered evacuations along Japan&#8217;s eastern seaboard, the same region devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that triggered the Fukushima nuclear disaster, according to the report.

Why It Matters: Workers evacuated the Fukushima nuclear facility as a precaution, though operator TEPCO (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKECF#OTC">TKECF</a>) reported no irregularities. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi confirmed no immediate damage or injuries.
The U.S. Tsunami Warning System issued hazardous wave alerts for Hawaii, Alaska, and the West Coast. Hawaii&#8217;s emergency management ordered evacuations from low-lying coastal areas, advising residents to seek higher ground or move to fourth floors of buildings.
The earthquake occurred along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plate boundaries create frequent seismic activity. Aftershocks continue across the region, though stronger tremors are not anticipated, according to Russian seismologists monitoring the situation.

Hawaii&#8217;s Department of Transportation implemented emergency traffic protocols across all islands. On Oahu, officials opened Kolekole Pass to facilitate evacuations from the Leeward coast while shutting down Nanakuli Contraflow operations. Traffic gridlock developed as residents rushed to higher ground, prompting U.S. military assistance in evacuation efforts.

Trump Issues Tsunami Warning After Massive Pacific Earthquake: Hawaii, US West Coast, Japan On Alert (UPDATED)

Mark Zuckerberg's wrist stole the scene from his own product launch in June when the Meta Platforms Inc. chief previewed new Oakley-Meta smart <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45987099/meta-teams-up-with-oakley-prada-for-next-gen-ai-smart-glasses">glasses</a> on Instagram.
What Happened: Zoom-in sleuths at Professional Watches <a href="https://professionalwatches.com/zuckerberg-wears-de-bethune-at-oakley-meta-glasses-launch/">spotted</a> a De Bethune DB28xs "Purple Rain," a 39-millimeter titanium timepiece that debuted last year at $99,000 and was limited to just 25 pieces.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="587" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/29090358/image-452-1024x587.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1005173" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/29090358/image-452-1024x587.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/29090358/image-452-300x172.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/29090358/image-452-768x440.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/29090358/image-452-1536x880.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/29090358/image-452-2048x1173.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The headline shade isn't paint. De Bethune says the purple comes from thermal oxidation. Titanium is heated to more than 700 degrees Celsius, forming an oxide layer that refracts light and locks in a spectrum that shifts between aubergine and amethyst. "Mastering the art of thermal oxidation of metals, De Bethune explores color nuances born from the heat released by the chemical reactions of heated titanium," the Swiss atelier explains.

Inside the ultra-slim case beats the hand-wound Calibre DB2005, good for a six-day power reserve and framed by the brand's trademark floating "delta" bridge. Collectors note the model's compact size, which is just 7.4 mm thick, makes it a rare blend of avant-garde design and everyday wearability.
Why It Matters: Zuckerberg's embrace of boutique haute horology has accelerated over the past year. In September, he wore a De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius, an $80,000 rose-gold cosmic-dial piece, while taping the "Acquired" tech-podcast in San Francisco.
In January, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43084473/mark-zuckerbergs-900k-hand-made-1-watch-steals-the-spotlight-as-meta-ends-u-s-fact-checking-partnerships">flashed an eye-watering</a> Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1, which retails for $895,500 and was built almost entirely by manual tools, in a Meta video that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43012201/once-you-get-started-you-cant-stop-wearing-a-900000-watch-kevin-oleary-admits-he-and-mark-zuckerberg-share-a-horrible-disease">even caught investor Kevin O'Leary's attention</a>. The billionaire's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/05/45336257/mark-zuckerbergs-exquisite-watch-collection-from-affordable-casio-to-luxurious-141400-patek-philippe-he-has-it-all">growing collection</a> runs from a humble $120 Casio G-Shock to Rolex, Patek Philippe and F.P. Journe pieces alongside the six-figure independents.
For Zuckerberg, the &#8216;Purple Rain&#8217; also echoes his first brush with serious timepieces last year, when he and wife Priscilla Chan were filmed admiring Anant Ambani's million-dollar Richard Mille at a pre-wedding party.

Mark Zuckerberg Wore $99,000 Purple Watch During A Meta Product Launch And This How It Gets Its Vibrant Color

Healthcare company, UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), says that it will drop 600,000 Medicare Advantage members and launch a sweeping operational overhaul after being blindsided by $6.5 billion in unanticipated medical costs.
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46688163/unitedhealth-misses-q2-mark-but-vows-a-healthier-2026">second-quarter earnings</a> call on Tuesday, UnitedHealthcare&#8217;s CEO, Tim Noel, said, &#8220;Our pricing assumptions were well short of actual medical costs.&#8221;
&#8220;We know these are serious challenges. We are humbled by them,&#8221; Noel says. As the company now expects the full-year Medicare Advantage trend, which refers to the year-over-year increase in healthcare costs per member, to be approximately 7.5%, well above the 5% trend it had assumed when setting 2025 bids.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46624499/centene-gears-up-for-q2-print-here-are-the-recent-forecast-changes-from-wall-streets-most-accurate-analysts">Centene Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street&#8217;s Most Accurate Analysts</a>
Under Medicare Advantage, private insurers such as UnitedHealth get paid a fixed amount by the U.S. Government, per enrollee, to manage their care. 
&#8220;Physician and outpatient care together represent 70% of the pressure year to date,&#8221; Noel said. &#8220;In short, most encounters are intensifying in services and costing more.&#8221;
The decision to exit underperforming plans, which affect more than 600,000 members, is centered around &#8220;less managed products such as PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) offerings,&#8221; according to Noel. He added that UnitedHealth has made &#8220;significant adjustments to benefits&#8221; in response to margin compression.
Executive Chairman, Stephen Hemsley, who recently returned to the top role, said the company is undergoing a fundamental reset. He says, &#8220;We have embarked on a real cultural shift in our relationship with regulators and all external stakeholders.&#8221;
Hemsleys says they &#8220;intend to infuse this entire enterprise with an AI-first orientation,&#8221; as the company reaffirmed its plans to deliver nearly $1 billion in cost reductions by 2026, while targeting a return to earnings growth starting in 2027.
Why It Matters: UnitedHealth Group has had a rough year in 2025, with the stock down 48% year-to-date, amid a slew of challenges in recent months.
It began with the assassination of its former CEO, Brian Thompson, in December 2024, by Luigi Mangione, which later became the subject of an investor lawsuit that alleges the company downplayed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45305392/unitedhealth-investors-claim-company-hid-profit-impact-of-ceos-murder">the potential impact</a> of this murder on its performance.
In May, the stock plunged again due to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">abrupt resignation</a> of the company&#8217;s CEO, Andrew Witty, with former CEO, Hemsley, succeeding him. The company also suspended its guidance for 2025 at the same time, citing continued acceleration in care activity.
Last week, the company announced that it was cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice&#8217;s criminal healthcare fraud unit, which has brought UnitedHealth&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/07/46605691/unitedhealth-under-federal-scrutiny-reaffirms-integrity-of-its-medicare-operations">Medicare billing practices</a> into scrutiny.
The company released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46688163/unitedhealth-misses-q2-mark-but-vows-a-healthier-2026">second-quarter results</a> on Tuesday, reporting $111.62 billion in revenue, up 13% year-over-year, but missing consensus estimates of $111.69 billion. It posted a profit of $4.08, down from $6.80 a year ago, and missing the consensus of $4.95.
Price Action: Shares of UnitedHealth Group were down 7.46% on Tuesday, closing at $261.07, but are up 0.72% after hours.

Unitedhealth, Starbucks, Novo Nordisk, UPS And Meta: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

On Tuesday, Opera Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPRA#NASDAQ">OPRA</a>) filed a formal complaint with Brazil's antitrust regulator, alleging Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) gives its Edge browser an unfair advantage on Windows devices at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38178108/apple-google-and-microsoft-suffer-as-small-browsers-gain-market-share-after-this-new-law-made-it-eas">expense of rivals</a>.
What Happened: Norwegian browser developer Opera submitted a complaint to Brazil's Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), accusing Microsoft of anti-competitive behavior, reported Reuters.
The company argued this practice blocks rivals like Opera from equal access and market opportunities.
"Microsoft thwarts browser competition on Windows at every turn," said Opera General Counsel Aaron McParlan. "First, browsers like Opera are locked out of important preinstallation opportunities. And then Microsoft frustrates users' ability to download and use alternative browsers."
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46686037/nvidia-is-now-worth-twice-tesla-amd-palantir-and-intel-combined" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nvidia Is Now Worth Twice Tesla, AMD, Palantir, And Intel Combined</a>
Opera also alleged that Microsoft incentivizes major PC manufacturers to pre-install Edge exclusively, and uses design tactics—referred to as dark patterns—to steer users away from switching browsers.
Microsoft did not immediately&nbsp;respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: The complaint revives longstanding antitrust concerns over Microsoft's dominance in the browser space, dating back to its Internet Explorer era.
In 2013, the European Commission fined Microsoft €561 million ($648 million) for similar conduct, the report said.
Opera is the third-most-used desktop browser in Brazil, with 6.78% market share in June, trailing Microsoft Edge's 11.52% and Google Chrome's dominant 75%, according to StatCounter.
As of June 2025, 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 Chrome remains the clear leader in the global browser market, commanding a 68.35% share, according to Statcounter GlobalStats.
Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Safari ranks a distant second with 16.25%, while Microsoft Edge holds 4.96%. Firefox captures 2.37% of the market, followed by Samsung Internet at 2.04% and Opera at 1.85%.
Microsoft is set to announce its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46696235/whats-going-on-with-microsoft-stock-tuesday-2">quarterly earnings on Wednesday</a>. Analysts are projecting earnings per share of $3.37 and revenue of $73.80 billion.
Price Action: On Tuesday, Microsoft shares inched up 0.014% during regular trading and rose another 0.23% after hours. In contrast, Opera shares fell 3.19% in regular trading but recovered slightly with a 0.55% gain after hours, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0717">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that MSFT continues to show strong momentum across short, medium and long-term timeframes, though its value rating remains comparatively low. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More performance insights are available here</a>.

Microsoft Is Frustrating The Ability Of Users To Switch Away From The Edge Browser, Alleges Opera In Brazil Anti-Trust Complaint

Cryptocurrency exchange,&nbsp;Kraken, is planning&nbsp;to raise $500 million in&nbsp;funding, a move that could push its valuation to $15 billion, according to a report published Tuesday.
What Happened: Kraken, America&#8217;s second-largest cryptocurrency trading platform,&nbsp;is preparing for a major funding round, tech and business-focused media company The Information <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/krakens-15-billion-price-tag-dylan-fields-unusual-power">reported</a>, citing sources familiar with the matter.
A Kraken spokesperson declined to comment on the report.
The development follows a series of events that have shaped Kraken&#8217;s trajectory. In March, reports emerged that the company was planning an initial public offering as early as the first quarter of next year, capitalizing on improved regulatory conditions under the Trump administration. Notably, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44100314/sec-drops-lawsuit-against-crypto-exchange-kraken-ceo-calls-it-massive-win-bayc-nft-creator-yuga-labs-also-gets-reprieve">SEC dropped a lawsuit against</a> Karen earlier in the month. 
Earlier this month, the&nbsp;Justice Department <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46549894/justice-department-drops-case-against-kraken-founder-jesse-powell">dropped a case</a> against Kraken&#8217;s founder, Jesse Powell. Federal prosecutors ended their investigation into Powell, nearly two years after FBI agents raided his home in a case unrelated to his crypto business.
The company&#8217;s revenue more than doubled in 2024, reaching $1.5 billion, with adjusted earnings of $380 million.
The cryptocurrency industry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45999427/circle-internet-group-crcl-stock-soars-on-landmark-stablecoin-legislation">saw the bumper debut</a> of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) on Wall Street in June, with the stock exploding 487% from its IPO price.
CRCL stock exhibited a low value score—a percentile-ranked composite metric that evaluates a stock&#8217;s relative worth by comparing its market price to fundamental measures— as of this writing. Check out&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings</a>&nbsp;to see how Coinbase Global Inc.

These trades reflect Ark&#8217;s strategic positioning in the market amidst evolving financial landscapes.
The Bitmine Trade saw Ark Invest making substantial investments in Bitmine Immersion across multiple ETFs, including Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#BATS">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>). This move comes after Bitmine&#8217;s recent announcement regarding its Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) holdings, which have now surpassed $2 billion.

Cathie Wood's $15M Crypto Bet: Sells Bitcoin King Block, Doubles Down On Ethereum Giant Bitmine Immersion

Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) is piloting a long-requested safety feature that allows women riders to request female drivers — and vice versa — for the first time in the U.S., the company <a href="https://www.uber.com/newsroom/women-preferences/">announced</a> on Wednesday.
The feature, called ‘Women Preferences,' will debut in Detroit, Los Angeles, and San Francisco in the coming weeks. First introduced in Saudi Arabia in 2019, the option has already expanded to 40 countries, including India, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How the Matching Works</h2>
Once enabled, the setting allows female riders to see a ‘women drivers' option when hailing a ride. Uber said the setting increases the likelihood of being matched with a female driver, although matches aren't guaranteed.
On the driver's side, female drivers can select ‘women rider preference,' allowing them to receive trip requests only from women. The setting is flexible and can be toggled off or on anytime. More than 100 million rides have been completed using the service globally, according to the company.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Push for Safety and Inclusion</h2>
The launch comes amid ongoing pressure on ride-hailing platforms to improve safety for both passengers and drivers.

According to Uber's latest U.S. safety <a href="https://uber.app.box.com/s/lea3xzb70bp2wxe3k3dgk2ghcyr687x3?uclick_id=46d3f8fb-cc10-450b-ba9e-c60261262b20">report</a>, there were 36 physical assault fatalities and 2,717 reported sexual assaults across 1.8 billion trips during 2021 and 2022. While these incidents account for a small fraction of all trips, those incidents — combined with ongoing concerns about physical assault — have pushed Uber to expand its suite of safety features in recent years, including audio/video recording and verified rider badges.
Sexual assault reports have declined significantly since Uber began publishing data in 2017. From 2017 to 2018, there were 5,981 reports of sexual assault. That number dropped to 2,717 between 2021 and 2022.
Uber and rival Lyft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) have struggled to increase the number of female drivers on their platforms. About 20% of Uber drivers in the U.S. are women, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/driving-uber-lyft-women-drivers-how-make-money-gig-economy-2023-12">according</a> to data provided by the company to Business Insider. The new feature could help close that gap by giving drivers more control over whom they pick up — a step that may help attract more women to the platform.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Industry Shift</h2>
While Uber was the first to launch the feature globally, Lyft beat it to the U.S. market with its ‘Women+ Connect' tool, <a href="https://www.lyft.com/blog/posts/women-plus-connect">introduced</a> in 2023, a feature allowing women and nonbinary drivers and riders to prioritize matches with one another. Unlike Uber's version, Lyft doesn't guarantee these matches but prioritizes them when possible. Still, the company <a href="https://www.lyft.com/blog/posts/lyfts-popular-women-connect-feature-is-now-available-nationwide">said</a> 67% of eligible drivers have opted into the feature.&nbsp;
Across the US, women riders and drivers have told us they want the option to be matched with other women on trips. We've heard them—and now we're introducing new ways to give them even more control over how they ride and drive," Uber Vice President of Operations Camiel Irving said in a statement.
If the pilot sees high adoption, Uber said it may expand the feature nationally.

$1000 Invested In Vertiv Holdings 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A woman from Tampa, Florida, called into &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH3RACSxFAk">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; recently, looking for help with a family dispute that turned legal, bitter and deeply personal. Jamie explained that her mother-in-law, who lives just feet away in a tiny house built on their property, has threatened to sue her.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Decade-Long Tension Over A Gifted Property</h2>
In 2006, Jamie and her husband were gifted a piece of land by his parents. &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t afford to build on it at the time, so we saved and ended up building our house in 2012,&#8221; she said. Not long after, the in-laws asked if they could build a small home on the back of the same lot, having moved from upstate New York and struggling to keep up with their home and health needs.

However, things went south fast when the family realized the new home was technically built on land Jamie and her husband owned outright.
&#8220;We kind of all realized at the same time that technically they did not own it,&#8221; she told Dave Ramsey. It caused a huge fight.
From there, it spiraled. For the last 10 years, the family has argued over who owns what. Jamie's father-in-law passed away three years ago, and since then, her mother-in-law has only grown more hostile.
&#8220;In January, there was a huge fight where she accused us of doing this on purpose for the sole purpose of taking her home. In essence, taking her money,&#8221; Jamie said. &#8220;She said, &#8216;You could take me out at any time.'&#8221;

The mother-in-law, now 80 and still in good health, has not spoken to the couple since. She recently had an attorney send Jamie a letter accusing them of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46261134/the-781b-time-bomb-how-families-are-losing-fortunes-by-delaying-elder-disability-planning">elder exploitation</a> and demanding a lump-sum payment of $180,000.
Ramsey, stunned, asked, &#8220;She's not only not speaking to you — she's in your back window?&#8221;
&#8220;Oh yeah,&#8221; Jamie replied. &#8220;Eight feet away.&#8221;
Ramsey called the situation &#8220;bizarre&#8221; and said, &#8220;She's lost her marbles. And we can't find them. They're somewhere in the backyard near a tiny house.&#8221;
When Jamie mentioned she was considering paying out of guilt, Ramsey shut that idea down: &#8220;Morally, giving her anything? No. You didn't do anything wrong.&#8221;
He advised her to hire an attorney and tie the case up in court as long as needed. &#8220;Give somebody 10 grand and keep her tied up till she dies,&#8221; he said bluntly. &#8220;That's really all you can do here.&#8221;
The legal advice Jamie already received backed this up. As one lawyer told her, any value her mother-in-law added to the property has been offset by her living in it for a decade.
Ramsey concluded with a warning for listeners: &#8220;For the rest of you listening, don't do this. Ever.&#8221;

Trading platform company Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) could highlight the growth of customers and cryptocurrency trading volume when the company reports second-quarter financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close Wednesday</a>.
HOOD stock: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Track it now here.</a>
Here are the earnings estimates and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Robinhood to report second-quarter revenue of $899 million, up from $682 million in last year's second quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0729">from Benzinga Pro.</a>

Key Items to Watch: Analysts have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD/analyst-ratings">raising their price targets</a> for Robinhood stock ahead of the quarterly results.
The company has been reporting strong monthly figures in recent reports. In the May <a href="https://investors.robinhood.com/news-releases/news-release-details/robinhood-markets-inc-reports-may-2025-operating-data">update</a>, the company reported that crypto trading volume was $8.6 billion in April and $11.7 billion in May. Compare that to $7.1 billion in May of the previous year and you can see how strong this quarter's crypto revenue may be.
Robinhood's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45118133/robinhood-q1-earnings-highlights-record-trading-volumes-transaction-based-revenues-up-77-gold-subscribers-up-90">first-quarter </a>cryptocurrency revenue was up 100% year-over-year. With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) hitting all-time highs in the quarter and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gaining momentum, it's quite possible that Robinhood reports a great figure for crypto trading volume and crypto-related revenue.
Also, keep in mind that Robinhood closed its acquisition of Bitstamp on June 2, which means part of those operations will hit the quarterly results for the first time. Bitstamp has over 500,000 funded accounts.
The latest report also showed that Robinhood's funded customers were 25.9 million at the end of May. That would be up from 25.8 million at the end of the first quarter. Total platform assets were up 89% year-over-year in May at $255 billion.
Robinhood stock is already up over 100% year-to-date so expectations are likely high for the quarterly results and guidance. The recent report indicates that all company metrics are seeing growth, including customer accounts, assets and trading volume.
Other key areas investors will be watching include momentum for the company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44825414/robinhood-ceo-brushes-off-concerns-prediction-markets-are-gambling-they-have-societal-value-across-all-categories"> prediction markets</a> and its Robinhood Gold memberships and cards.
HOOD Price Action: Robinhood stock closed down 3.23% to $103.32 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $13.98 to $113.44. Robinhood stock is up more than 162% year-to-date in 2025.
