Analyst Expectations For Hartford Finl Servs Gr's Future

Brian Riedl, a veteran federal budget analyst with 25 years of experience, has criticized President Donald Trump and Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency&#8217;s (DOGE) approach to deficit reduction, arguing that their small-scale savings proposals mask larger deficit-increasing policies that could push the U.S. toward $4 trillion deficits within a decade.
What Happened: Riedl, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, points out that Trump&#8217;s first term added $8 trillion in enacted spending hikes and tax cuts to the deficit, with half unrelated to pandemic measures. According to Riedl&#8217;s analysis, Trump is now proposing approximately $8 trillion more in tax cuts and spending increases over the next decade.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t get excited when DOGE cancels $1 billion in government contracts or saves $3 billion in federal workforce reductions out of a $7,000 billion budget,&#8221; Riedl stated on X, formerly Twitter. &#8220;Not when Trump and Congress are also preparing to add $800 billion more annually in proposed new tax cuts and spending.&#8221;
The budget expert challenges claims about significant administrative savings, noting that even an aggressive 20% reduction in the federal workforce would save only $60 billion while overhauling federal systems might save $80 billion at best.
These potential savings would offset just a small fraction of proposed spending increases, according to Riedl&#8217;s calculations.

Why It Matters: Particularly concerning for investors is Riedl&#8217;s warning about structural budget constraints. He emphasizes that Trump has exempted Social Security, Medicare, defense, veterans&#8217; benefits, border security, and interest payments from cuts – categories that represent approximately two-thirds of all federal spending and are primary deficit drivers.
&#8220;You can&#8217;t significantly cut the deficit just by cutting waste, firing bureaucrats, and defunding immigrants and foreigners,&#8221; Riedl argues, highlighting the need for comprehensive reform. &#8220;There are no easy shortcuts. You have to stop cutting taxes and then address Social Security, Medicare, defense, and a lot of other popular programs.&#8221;
The analysis comes as the GOP Congress prepares potential legislation that could add $325 billion in new spending this year, further complicating deficit reduction efforts. Riedl warns that current fiscal trajectories could lead to $4 trillion annual deficits within a decade.

Assessing Bitdeer Technologies: Insights From 16 Financial Analysts

Donald Trump left the White House in 2021, and he has returned. Why the comeback? Trump&#8217;s commerce-compatible agenda has heavy hitters throughout the business community and politicians lined up to curry favor with the president&#8217;s inner circle. It has resulted in a luxury real estate buying frenzy in DC.
According to The Wall Street Journal, high-end homes in DC and nearby McLean, Va., have been bought at the top of the market. These are some of the recent transactions:
<ul>
<li>Cantor Fitzgerald Chief Executive Howard Lutnick, the president&#8217;s pick for commerce secretary, paid $25 million for the Foxhall-area home of Fox News anchor Bret Baier — a new record for DC.</li>
<li>David McCormick, the new Republican senator from Pennsylvania, purchased a Georgetown house previously owned by the late attorney C. Boyden Gray for $10.5 million.</li>
<li>A Georgetown house owned by Connie Milstein, former ambassador to Malta, was listed for $15.5 million in 2020; it recently went into contract with an asking price of $13.5 million. </li>
</ul>

Other people in the hunt for luxury homes include Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent —who has a portfolio of historic homes — and money manager John Phelan, Trump&#8217;s pick for Navy secretary.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business Titans Looked To Set Up Shop Early</h2>
Part of the reason for the flurry of activity is Trump&#8217;s decision to pick wealthy business executives and DC outsiders for pivotal roles in his administration. Michael Rankin of TTR Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty told The Journal that prospective buyers began house hunting in earnest, even before being confirmed.

&#8220;There are a lot of folks who are coming to Washington that aren&#8217;t necessarily even politicians, but those that want to be close to the sun,&#8221; Daniel Heider of Sotheby&#8217;s, a seasoned DC agent who brokered the Baier-Lutnick deal. &#8220;They make 2016 look like amuse-bouche for the main entree, which is this moment in time right now.&#8221;&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Tech&#8217;s Embrace Of Trump</h2>
Big Tech&#8217;s embrace of the Trump presidency has also influenced the buying bonanza. The Department of Justice's Biden-era policy of trying to break up the traditionally left-leaning tech industry for alleged monopolization changed their political stance. Trump&#8217;s deregulation, low taxation for the wealthy, and generally pro-business policies have seen an influx of tech and business buyers looking to set up shop in the DC area. However, the inventory shortage in the luxury market has only served to drive higher prices.

In the quarter, EA introduced Battlefield Labs, a player-driven testing initiative designed to foster innovation ahead of the franchise&#8217;s anticipated FY26 release.
EPS was $1.11 against the $1.07 reported in the prior year quarter.
Notably, last month, the company reported preliminary quarterly numbers, expecting a mid-single-digit decline largely due <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/01/43146917/electronic-arts-stock-is-sliding-after-the-close-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">to a slowdown in Global Football</a>.

For FY25, the company sees EPS&nbsp;of $3.90 &#8211; $4.25 (previous view $3.82&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;$4.33) and revenue of $7.25 billion &#8211; $7.40&nbsp;billion (prior view $7.40 billion&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;$7.70 billion).
Also, the company projects net bookings of around $7.00 billion to $7.15 billion in the year, down from the prior outlook of $7.50 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$7.80 billion.
Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts, said, &#8220;The record success of our&nbsp;EA SPORTS FC 25 Team of the Year event demonstrates our creative teams&#8217; ability to adapt, innovate, and execute at scale.&#8221;
