While tax cuts may sound like a good idea in the short term, finance experts have raised concerns about the long-term effects of such a policy.&nbsp;
"He's talking about getting rid of the taxation, which increases the benefits, but the very benefits that are subject to taxation will be much reduced," Nancy Altman, president for Social Security Works told <a href="https://www.kiplinger.com/taxes/whats-wrong-with-trumps-pledge-to-repeal-taxes-on-social-security-benefits">Kiplinger</a>. "So basically, it's not an honest proposal."

The numbers suggest that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43276105/trumps-tax-plan-could-slash-social-security-benefits-33-by-2035-ramsey-show-host-george-kamel-weighs-in">cutting these taxes</a> could also speed up the depletion of the Social Security Trust Fund, offering immediate relief to some retirees now but ultimately creating significant challenges for future generations.
The <a href="https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2025/2/10/eliminating-income-taxes-on-social-security-benefits">Penn Wharton Budget Model</a> estimates that removing taxes on Social Security benefits would result in a $1.5 trillion revenue loss over the next decade and increase the federal debt. This would put a larger strain on the Social Security Trust Fund, pushing up its projected depletion date from December 2034 to December 2032.
Currently, Social Security benefits are taxed for individuals earning more than $25,000 ($32,000 for joint filers). Depending on the beneficiary&#8217;s total income, up to 85% of their benefits can be taxed. These taxes are critical to keeping the program afloat.&nbsp;

Higher-income retirees would stand to gain the most from the elimination of these taxes. Some of the wealthiest households could save over $100,000 throughout their lifetimes. Retirees in the middle-income range would also benefit, though to a lesser degree.
With more disposable income, some retirees may increase their spending, which could provide a short-term economic boost. But, higher spending among retirees does not necessarily translate into economic growth, especially if it's at the expense of national savings and investment.
While retirees would see immediate tax savings, younger generations might end up paying the price. The Penn Wharton Budget Model projects that eliminating Social Security taxes would add 7% to the federal deficit by 2054. This rising debt could cut into capital investment, leading to wage reductions of 0.4% over the next decade and 1.8% by 2054.

Young workers, particularly those under 30, would be most affected. A child born on the day the policy is enacted could face a $10,000 reduction in lifetime welfare benefits. As the trust fund nears insolvency, younger generations might face major cuts to their benefits in the future.
Eliminating these taxes could also have broader economic implications. If retirees have more after-tax income, they may feel less need to save for retirement. Over time, this could lead to lower national savings and a reduction in productive capital. The Penn Wharton Budget Model projects that, by 2054, GDP could be 2.1% lower under this policy than if the current system were kept in place.
On the surface, eliminating Social Security income taxes might seem like a win for retirees. But looking at the broader picture, the story changes. High-income retirees would benefit most, while younger workers and future generations may bear the brunt of the rising federal debt and possible benefit cuts. As lawmakers consider changes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43580701/85-of-americans-willing-to-raise-taxes-to-save-social-security-survey-shows">Social Security</a>, they'll have to balance short-term relief with the long-term health of the program.

<img alt="Inflation of the of the US dollar — Photo" class="article-image-one" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20250212140311_3-stocks-to-hedge-against-inflations-persistence.jpg" style="height:800px; width:1200px" />
Inflation is officially back&mdash;and it&#39;s at its fastest pace since September 2023. According to the latest <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm">Consumer Price Index data</a>, consumer prices rose 0.5% from December, resulting in an annual inflation rate of 3% for the 12 months that ended in January. This news came as a relative shock to investors, who had hoped that the worst of inflation was finally over.&nbsp;
If you&#39;ve got a feeling that inflation is here to stay, you&#39;re not alone. These three stocks are primed to protect your portfolio against the long-term effects of high inflation.
<h2>Cool, Consistent Dividends Could Translate to Returns on COLD</h2>
There are some sectors investors turn to when inflation rises, with equity REIT <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/compare-stocks/">stocks</a> being one of the top options. Historically, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/types-of-stock/real-estate-investment-trusts-reits/">equity REITs</a> have outperformed inflation <a href="https://www.hartfordfunds.com/insights/market-perspectives/equity/which-equity-sectors-can-combat-higher-inflation.html">66% of the time and posted an average real return of 4.7%</a>. REITs are also one of the only types of company classifications required to pay out dividends to investors, adding to their value as an <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/top-3-etfs-to-hedge-against-inflation-in-2025/">inflation hedge</a>.
<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/COLD/">Americold Realty Trust (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cold#NYSE">COLD</a>) boasts a 12-month price target of $29.17, representing a 35.22% potential upside. It offers a <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/COLD/dividend/">4.08% dividend yield</a> with a 34.27% annualized three-year dividend growth. When combined with its nationwide equity holdings, COLD is competitively positioned in the REIT market. &nbsp;
Experts&#39; estimated return values could be attributed to a series of both inflationary and consumer concerns. Offering a series of climate-controlled industrial storage services, COLD&#39;s essential safety services and status as an equity REIT prime it for returns during periods of high inflation.
This may be especially true in light of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html">recent H5 bird flu concerns</a>, with climate-controlled meat storage essential to reducing pathogen spread.&nbsp;
<h2>High-Tech Energy Gives First Solar an Edge</h2>
According to historical data, energy stocks are another inflation superstar, which outperform inflation 74% of the time and delivered an annual real return of 12.9% annually. <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/FSLR/">First Solar, Inc.&nbsp; (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fslr#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) is one of the most highly rated solar energy stocks, with a 3.04 Buy rating from experts&mdash;16% higher than the oil and energy sector as a whole.&nbsp;
Expert price estimates indicate that First Solar may be significantly undervalued. Shares are currently trading at close to a 52-week low, while the company&#39;s P/E ratio remains competitive at 13.71. Short interest is also healthy, with an acceptable short interest ratio of 2.4, though it has recently decreased by 19.44%, indicating a major recent improvement in shareholder sentiment.&nbsp;
First Solar currently holds a consensus price target of $276.38, representing a potential upside of <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/FSLR/forecast/">more than 72%</a> of its current price of about $160 per share. Improved sales outlook for 2026 and beyond is likely a major contributor to this high ranking, with a projected earnings growth rate of 56%.
While First Solar doesn&#39;t offer the same dividend potential as other picks on our list, it may offset this by offering&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/learn/how-growth-investors-find-high-growth-stocks-and-maximize-returns/">growth stock potential</a> through its solar R&amp;D department.&nbsp;
<h2>ConocoPhillips Boasts Buy Ratings, Traditional Energy Protections</h2>
For investors who prefer a more traditional inflation hedge, upstream energy provider <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/COP/">ConocoPhillips (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cop#NYSE">COP</a>) could be a value stock pick with dividend potential. With a 3.16% dividend yield and a 12.92% annualized <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/COP/dividend/">three-year dividend growth</a>, ConocoPhillips is poised to continue offering consistent, reliable dividend growth with a payout ratio of 40.05%.
As inflation concerns return, now could be the right time for savvy investors to increase holdings in ConocoPhillips. The stock is currently at close to a 52-week low average closing price of about $99 per share with a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/COP/forecast/">consensus price target of $133.56</a>.
This represents a 35.5% potential upside, further supported by a general Buy rating from experts.&nbsp;
Recent financial reports are also solid. In its February 6th earnings report, ConocoPhillips beat consensus EPS estimates by more than 11%.
The company&#39;s earnings are expected to grow by an additional 7.71% next year, as well, putting current inventors in a solid position.&nbsp;

Meaningfully derisks overall exposure to Russia-Ukraine aviation litigation
Provides preliminary catastrophe loss estimate for January 2025 California Wildfires
Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIHL#NYSE">FIHL</a>) ("Fidelis Insurance Group" or the "Company"), a global specialty insurer, today announced an update to loss reserves in advance of reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2024 earnings. During the fourth quarter, the Company incurred net adverse prior year development attributable to its Aviation and Aerospace line of business of $287.2 million. This relates to business underwritten in the 2021 and 2022 underwriting years and impacted by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine aviation litigation.
In respect of the aviation litigation, the Company has been judiciously settling claims to derisk its overall exposure. In addition, the Company has strengthened reserves, in large part to make allowance for ongoing settlement discussions and also to reflect recent developments and new information received.
To date, the Company has successfully settled or is in various stages of settlement discussions in respect of approximately two-thirds of the total exposure related to lessor policy claims currently in litigation. Of the remaining lessor policy claims in litigation, a significant portion of these claims relate to the English trial that commenced in October 2024, in respect of which the Company continues to hold reserves based on a probabilistic model of potential court outcomes, incorporating recent developments and updated information received. The English trial concluded February 14, 2025, and a court judgment will be rendered in the coming months.
The prior year development has impacted the Company's fourth quarter and full-year performance. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company anticipates reporting net income in the range of $100 to $120 million and operating net income in the range of $120 to $140 million.
Dan Burrows, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We have meaningfully reduced our overall exposure to the complex and evolving Russia-Ukraine aviation litigation, lowered the potential downside risk associated with this event and provided increased certainty to our shareholders.
Excluding the impact of the prior year development attributable to our Aviation and Aerospace line of business, our full-year results would have exceeded our long-term Operating ROAE target. Our balance sheet remains strong, and our business is well-positioned to support future growth and deliver long-term value for shareholders."
Separately, Fidelis Insurance Group announced today its preliminary estimate of catastrophe losses related to the January 2025 California wildfires. Based on an insured industry loss estimate of $40 billion to $50 billion, the Company expects its catastrophe loss estimates to be in the range of $160 million to $190 million, net of expected recoveries, reinstatement premiums and tax. The losses from these wildfires will be reflected in our first quarter 2025 earnings.
