NNN REIT Expects 2025 Core FFO Per Share Guidance Of $3.33 - $3.38, Est $3.37

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is rewriting the record books. The stock notched its 16th straight winning session on Monday, the longest streak among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">the Magnificent Seven</a>. 
At $717.40, it's knocking on the door of its all-time high of $725.01—and Wall Street can't seem to get enough.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Resilient to AI Jitters, Thriving on AI Growth</h2>
Even as AI-driven sell-offs rattled the tech sector — like when Chinese startup DeepSeek blindsided Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) — Meta held its ground.
Unlike chipmakers, who live and die by AI hardware demand, Meta has AI-powered Advantage+ shopping ads, which grew 70% last quarter and hit a $20 billion annual run rate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zuckerberg's Performance Purge</h2>
Despite the stock's relentless climb, not all is smooth sailing inside Menlo Park. Meta is <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/business/meta-to-start-laying-off-3-000-employees-today-as-company-shifts-focus-to-ai-hiring-101739241876179.html">axing</a> 3,000 employees this week in a performance-driven purge. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has warned that 2024 and 2025 will be "challenging years" as the company doubles down on AI and metaverse bets.
Zuckerberg elaborated on comedian Joe Rogan&#8216;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1ehaE0bdU">podcast</a>, saying he planned to replace mid-level engineers at his company with AI systems.
Wall Street doesn't seem to care. Unlike past layoffs that spooked markets, investors see this as a leaner, meaner Meta primed for efficiency and growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta Stock Chart Screams ‘Bullish'</h2>
With Meta trading above its eight, 20, 50 and 200-day simple moving averages, the trend is undeniably bullish. Even the MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at 28.12 and RSI (relative strength index) at 80.22 suggest strong momentum—though an RSI that high could mean it's getting overheated.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
With Nvidia's earnings still on deck, the AI trade could see fresh volatility. 
But for now, Meta remains the only Mag 7 stock that rallied after earnings, and bulls aren't blinking. The question is: can this streak keep running, or is a breather overdue?

Aro Biotherapeutics Appoints President And CEO As Board Chair; Appoints Purnanand Sarma As CEO

An investor group led by Elon Musk has proposed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43609104/elon-musk-co-founded-openai-now-hes-bidding-974b-to-take-back-the-company">$97.4 billion bid to take</a> control of OpenAI, a move that OpenAI&#8217;s CEO, Sam Altman, thinks may be an attempt to &#8220;slow down a competitor.&#8221;
What Happened: Altman cast doubt on Musk&#8217;s true intentions behind the bid. He dismissed the notion that Musk was genuinely interested in acquiring OpenAI, stating, &#8220;Not particularly&#8221;, in an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/11/musks-97point4-billion-for-openai-aims-to-slow-down-a-competitor-sam-altman-says.html">CNBC</a>&nbsp;on Tuesday
Altman believes that Musk&#8217;s bid could be a strategic maneuver to hinder a competitor and gain an advantage with his own AI company, xAI. The $97.4 billion offer, confirmed by CNBC on Monday,&nbsp;is for the nonprofit that&nbsp;supervises the artificial intelligence startup responsible for ChatGPT.
Musk&#8217;s legal representative, Marc Toberoff, confirmed that the offer was submitted on Monday, adding, &#8220;It&#8217;s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Elon Musk, who co-founded OpenAI, had previously departed from the company in 2018 over disagreements about its direction. His current bid comes as OpenAI transitions to a for-profit structure, a move Musk has legally challenged.
Founder of Telluride Legal Strategies, Rob Rosenberg indicated that Musk&#8217;s actions might create challenges for OpenAI as it seeks to shift away from its non-profit status, as per Bloomberg. Musk and Altman have been engaged in a prolonged dispute. In August, Musk also filed a lawsuit against OpenAI calling its partnership with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) a &#8216;monopoly&#8217; aiming to eliminate competitors.

This could potentially be a factor in Musk&#8217;s bid for control of the company.

Sam Altman Says Elon Musk's $97B Bid For OpenAI Is A Move To 'Slow Down A Competitor'

Abbott Laboratories's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.82% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 14.97 million shares sold short, which is 0.87% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.07 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Abbott Laboratories has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Abbott Laboratories's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Abbott Laboratories's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.78%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

The United States continues to grapple with the consequences of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42803225/plans-to-forgive-4-28-billion-in-student-loans-for-54900-borrowers-halted-what-this-means-for-millions-still-drowning-in-debt">student loan </a>debt through the beginning of 2025. According to a report from the Education Data Initiative, total outstanding debt in student loans has hit a record-high value of $1.77 trillion, combining federal and private, for more than 42 million borrowers.
The average debt of a borrower of federal students is about $37,853, and recent studies indicate Black borrowers continue with disproportionately high amounts of debt, compared with their white and Hispanic peers–a key indicator of lingering racial wealth gaps.

</ul>
In January, the Biden administration announced another $4.23 billion in student loan forgiveness, helping about 150,000&nbsp; borrowers, according to the Department of Education. That brings the total relief under Biden's presidency to around $183.6 billion, reaching nearly 5 million people, according to Reuters.&nbsp;
Yet despite the efforts, big-ticket student loan forgiveness has since hit some real roadblocks: The Supreme Court previously axed a plan to cancel up to $20,000 per borrower, ruling it beyond an executive&#8217;s authority.
And while the Saving on a Valuable Education plan—which aims to provide more manageable repayment options—was set to offer relief, it's currently stuck in legal battles.&nbsp;

With the 2024 presidential election behind us, student loan policies are likely to shift again. President Donald Trump has signaled plans to roll back loan forgiveness programs and possibly privatize the federal student loan system.&nbsp;
He's also suggested dismantling the Department of Education, which has many higher education advocates on edge.&nbsp;
&#8220;We are concerned about ways that there could be a deconstruction of the ability for the Department of Ed to do its work, including the administration of Title IV programs, including student loans," said Yolanda Watson Spiva, president of Complete College America.&nbsp;
Looking at the numbers, California has the highest number of federal student loan borrowers—about 4 million residents—per federal student aid data.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, for borrowers who have fallen behind, collections are set to restart after a five-year COVID-19 pause, meaning wage garnishments, seized tax refunds, and even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/42802794/there-wont-be-money-for-social-security-elon-musk-tells-joe-rogan-about-looming-bankruptcy-and-1-1-trillion-interest">Social Security benefit</a> reductions could be back on the table.&nbsp;
With so much uncertainty, experts stress that borrowers should stay informed and plan ahead. Betsy Mayotte, president of The Institute of Student Loan Advisors, advises: &#8220;Educate yourself on your options now. Historically, no changes have been made retroactively, so it's unlikely that borrowers will lose existing benefits—except for the SAVE plan."&nbsp;
Despite the chaos, higher education remains key to economic stability, with over 70% of U.S. jobs requiring some form of post-secondary education by 2031, according to Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
For families thinking ahead, 529 plans, or education savings accounts, and scholarships are smart ways to prepare for rising tuition costs. As Watson Spiva said, conversations about financial strain should go beyond just groceries and gas: &#8220;If we're talking about affordability, the cost of college must be part of the conversation."

U.S. Student Loan Debt Hits $2.19 Trillion—Here's Why Experts Say Borrowers Shouldn't Panic Yet

Poland's central bank has ruled out adding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43505782/trump-announced-wealth-fund-should-choose-microstrategy-bonds-over-bitcoin-analyst-says">to its reserves</a>, with Governor Adam Glapiński stating that the National Bank of Poland (NBP) will not consider holding the cryptocurrency &#8220;under any circumstances.&#8221;
What Happened: His comments come as other countries, including the Czech Republic and the United States, explore the possibility of incorporating Bitcoin into their financial systems, Decrypt <a href="https://decrypt.co/305304/poland-central-bank-not-buy-bitcoin">reported</a>.
During a press briefing, Glapiński emphasized that assets held by the central bank must meet strict security standards, a criterion he claims Bitcoin fails to fulfill. 
He pointed to gold as a preferred asset, highlighting its role in increasing Poland's reserve value by 22% last year.
"You can buy a lot and gain a lot, as well as lose a lot," Glapiński stated. "However, we prefer something certain."
While acknowledging Bitcoin's growing presence in financial markets, he rejected the idea of treating it as a stable component of the country's reserves.

Why It Matters: Despite Poland's opposition, Bitcoin is gaining traction in other parts of the world.
Just a week before Glapiński's remarks, the Czech Central Bank approved an initiative to assess the feasibility of adding Bitcoin to its reserves. 
However, the proposal has faced political resistance, with Czech Finance Minister Zbyněk Stanjura publicly expressing doubts and advising policymakers to avoid speculative discussions.
To counter concerns, Czech Central Bank Deputy Governor Eva Zamrazilová clarified that the study will examine various asset classes, not just Bitcoin. 
She also denied previous reports suggesting the bank was considering allocating up to 5% of its reserves to the cryptocurrency. 
"Such a proposal has never been discussed by the Bank Board," she stated.
Meanwhile, the debate over Bitcoin's role in national reserves is intensifying in the United States. 
Shortly after taking office, President Donald Trump formed a working group to explore the possibility of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43577575/bitcoin-could-surge-to-200000-by-year-end-says-marathon-digital-ceo-scarcity-us-plans-for-strategic-btc-reserve-could-aid-growth">Bitcoin reserve</a>.
Additionally, discussions around launching <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43473182/could-the-trump-established-sovereign-wealth-fund-invest-in-bitcoin-nvidia-tiktok">a sovereign wealth fund</a> that includes digital assets have gained momentum. Several U.S. states, including Utah, are actively reviewing legislation that would allow them to hold Bitcoin as part of their financial portfolios.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43344908/bitcoin-will-not-be-considered-for-central-bank-reserves-ecb-president-christine-lagarde-says">European Central Bank</a> (ECB) has also expressed skepticism about Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
ECB President Christine Lagarde recently reinforced concerns similar to those raised by Poland's central bank, arguing that central bank reserves must be liquid and secure.
"There is a view around the table of the governing council [&#8230;] that reserves have to be liquid, that reserves have to be secure, that they have to be safe," Lagarde stated.
Despite opposition from Poland and the ECB, the fact that Bitcoin reserves are now being seriously discussed by financial institutions and governments signals a shift in the global financial landscape. 
While Poland has shut the door on Bitcoin, other countries are actively assessing its potential role in national reserves.
