After Friday’s delay in the Paramount-WBD antitrust lawsuit, shares of both media companies slid in after-hours trading, foes of the merger exulted and observers tried to process the latest twist in the merger saga.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta hailed the agreement, under which Paramount pledged not close the $110 billion deal before June 1, 2027, or a legal determination of the suit’s merits, whichever comes first. The pact is “great news for audiences, movie theaters, and the many people who write, build, and create the art, news, and entertainment so many of us enjoy,” he said in a statement. “We’re eager to continue to make our case in court and celebrate another tremendous win in our effort to ensure this unlawful merger never sees the light of day.”
During a press briefing on Zoom, activists who joined the fight led by the 12 state attorneys general and the Writers Guild of America adopted a pragmatic tone.
“The power of many can beat the power of money when we organize – and this is not a done deal,” said Anjuli Kronheim Katz, executive director of the Committee for the First Amendment. “We’re not also being overly presumptive that we’re going to block this merger. It’s not a full victory, but it is an important indication of the power that we’ve built and what’s possible when we organize people. There’s a lot more to do. This is going to be hard, but it is not hopeless.”
Peter Murrieta, secretary-treasurer of the WGA West, joined the briefing from Comic-Con in San Diego to decry the deal’s potential to “push down our compensation for writers” or cut the output of films and series. (Paramount has described the merger as “pro-Hollywood” and disputes the assertion that it will have a negative impact on workers.)
Financial Sector Reacts Paramount stock touched a 52-week low on the news before closing at $8.21 and drifting down another three cents in after-hours trading. WBD shares fell almost 1% during the trading day before sagging a bit more after the session.
The financial sector was stunned by the development, which was announced with about an hour left in the trading day. Paul Nary, a management professor and M&A specialist at U. Penn’s Wharton School, posted on X that the situation will be a “more expensive adventure” given the delay. He noted the $7.2-million-per-day “ticking fee” Paramount has promised to pay WBD shareholders if the deal doesn’t close by September 30. A breakup fee of $7 billion will be owed to WBD if the deal is abandoned.
Paramount “clearly saw the writing on the wall” after the judge initially granted and then extended a temporary restraining order pausing the deal, Abiel Garcia, partner at Kesselman Brantly Stockinger, told Deadline. Standards for a TRO and a preliminary injunction – the stage that would have followed the TRO – are similar, he said, noting that the judge’s TRO order contained a few key footnotes working against Paramount. They included cautions that the David Ellison-led company could not address streaming efficiency as an argument in the case; and that monies due (the ticking fee) was not a reason to accelerate the proceedings.
Had the AGs been able to win a PI, “that’s a bad look” that would have further emboldened the states, said Garcia, who began his career at the California Department of Justice as a deputy attorney general. “I think they had to do this to try to keep themselves afloat and not lose control of the schedule.”
The AGs have said they wanted a trial date in the winter. People familiar with the case have told Paramount will likely propose a date in November.
Most experts anticipate that Paramount will appeal to the Ninth Circuit if it loses at trial, and would ultimately look to take the case to the Supreme Court. It’s not clear that the AGs would appeal.
The June 1 date in Friday’s agreement appears to reflect the fact that the WBD merger agreement technically expires on June 7 if the deal hasn’t closed. The parties would need a few days to figure that out.
Regardless of the exact timetable, the milestone effort to reshape Hollywood, a story that seemed to be reaching its end just two weeks ago will now have several more drama-filled chapters.
Girding For Battle By skipping the preliminary injunction process, Paramount is aiming to re-orient their case as it proceeds to trial. “Paramount is saying that they have all this evidence that markets don’t work the way the AGs are saying … They’re going to try and move away from traditional markets, how things have been defined before. It’s not an easy thing to do, but it’s doable. Markets evolve and change,” Garcia said.
WGA leaders noted at Friday’s presser that they’ll use the time to continue to generate support, solicit testimony and further build the case.
The ticking fee and momentum from the lawsuit‘s early traction suggest “the states will likely be in no mood to settle, at least not early on, and at least not without major concessions,” U. Penn’s Nary observed.
While the frustrations of Ellison; his father, Larry Ellison, the Oracle billionaire and deal backer; and others in the Paramount camp have taken center stage in recent days, WBD also faces a difficult path. Already preparing for its fourth corporate ownership change in the past decade, employees at the company will experience confusion and inertia in the coming months. And don’t forget, for a while they believed they were being taken over by Netflix after the streaming giant sealed a deal last December, outdueling Comcast and Paramount in the initial bidding rounds.
The company is “stuck in limbo for now,” Nary wrote. It “can’t make major changes to position themselves for survival if they believe the deal will fail, and can’t start the integration process/restructuring with $PSKY. From my perspective, I think this means WBD business may suffer either way, making it even more difficult for them to go back to being a reasonably well-positioned standalone firm if the deal doesn’t close, and also making Paramount’s already tough job of integrating, cost-cutting, and making this deal work if and when they do close even more of an uphill battle.”
Now, a deal that was hurtling through the regulatory process at a remarkable pace, going from proposal to the verge of completion in about five months, has now entered into a period of stasis. Executives from both companies are set to report their quarterly earnings over the next couple of weeks, and will certainly encounter questions about having to revise their optimistic projections about wrapping up the deal over the summer.
“The deal may still close or it may not,” Forrester Research VP Mike Proulx told the Wall Street Journal. “What we know is that the path to either outcome just got longer, messier, and likely more expensive.”
On July 24, 2026, Trimble Inc (TRMB) shares rose 5.1% today, with the stock currently priced at $52.91. The shares have seen significant volatility over the pas
The maximum Social Security benefit for a worker who claims at age 70 in 2026 lands near $61,000 per year, thanks in part to the 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment that took effect this year. That figure is the target. Replacing it with dividend income, so you either delay claiming, stop working, or supplement a smaller check, comes down to one equation: annual income divided by portfolio yield equals the capital you need. The answer looks very different at 3.5% than it does at 10%.
Here is what that math produces across three yield tiers, and what you give up at each one.
The Conservative Tier: 3% to 4% Yield At a 3.5% blended yield, you need roughly $1.74 million invested to throw off $61,000 a year. This is the dividend-growth zone: Dividend Kings, broad dividend ETFs, and quality blue chips.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ | JNJ Price Prediction) currently yields around 2.1% after a bump to $1.34 per quarter and 64 consecutive years of raises. Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) pays roughly 2.9% on the back of its $1.0885 quarterly dividend. Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) sits at about 2.5% with a $0.53 quarterly payout. Blending these with a higher-yielding sleeve of broad dividend ETFs (0.35% expense ratio) gets you into the 3% to 4% range.
The tradeoff is capital intensity. You need the most money upfront. In exchange, the principal typically appreciates and the raises keep coming. JNJ has gone from $3.32 in annual dividends in 2017 to a $5.36 forward run rate today. That is real compounding.
The Moderate Tier: 5% to 7% Yield At 6%, the capital needed drops to roughly $1.02 million. This tier leans on REITs, preferred shares, covered-call equity funds, and higher-yielding financials.
KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) is the archetype. The $0.205 quarterly dividend against a $23 share price puts the yield in the mid-3% area, but bank preferreds and covered-call ETFs built around similar names routinely land at 5% to 7%. East West Bancorp (NASDAQ:EWBC) recently raised its dividend from $0.60 to $0.80 per quarter, illustrating how mid-cap financials can lift payouts quickly.
You give up two things here: dividend growth slows, and covered-call strategies cap your upside. The income shows up. Share-price appreciation typically lags.
The Aggressive Tier: 8% to 14% Yield At 10%, the math collapses to $610,000. That is the appeal. Business development companies, mortgage REITs, leveraged covered-call funds, and high-yield bond funds all live here.
The cost is principal erosion. Distributions get cut in stress cycles, NAVs drift lower over time, and inflation grinds the income stream flat. You are, in effect, spending down the asset while it pays you.
Why the Low-Yield Portfolio Often Wins A 3.5% yield that grows 7% to 8% annually doubles the income in about nine years. JNJ, PG, and KO have compounded at roughly that pace for decades. A 10% yield with no growth pays $61,000 today and $61,000 in 2036, minus whatever inflation and distribution cuts take out. The 169% ten-year total return on JNJ is what compounding looks like when growth is stacked on top of yield.
For context, the 10-year Treasury pays 4.6%, and the national average 12-month CD sits at 1.7%. Dividend equities remain the most direct path to income replacement above those baselines.
Three Steps Before You Size the Portfolio Verify your actual annual spending against $61,000. Average U.S. household expenditures ran $78,535 in 2024, but retiree spending typically runs below working-age levels. You may need to replace less than the maximum benefit. Pull a ten-year total return chart on a dividend-growth fund and a high-yield fund side by side. The dispersion between the two curves is the price of chasing yield. Model the tax hit by bracket. Qualified dividends beat ordinary income at every level, and if you live in a high-tax state, the after-tax gap between a 3.5% qualified dividend and a 10% ordinary-income distribution widens further. The equation is fixed. The tier you pick is the actual decision.

This week was one to forget for Tyler Technologies (TYL +3.12%) and its investors. The dynamic in tech stocks was a shift out of software titles and into companies active in the artificial intelligence (AI) hardware space.
Although Tyler is somewhat insulated from such potential disruption, its shares took quite a hit anyway. They fell by nearly 10% across the week, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Spending shifts In recent weeks, major tech companies have indicated that they aim to spend significant amounts of capital on AI hardware. This implies that the proportion of IT budgets will shift, perhaps meaningfully, from software to hardware -- hence that mirroring trend with tech investors.

Concerns about this grew significantly on Wednesday, when tech sector giant Alphabet reported its second-quarter earnings. The company did well during the quarter, as it frequently does, yet many investors were worried about management's pronouncements regarding capital expenditures.
The company increased its estimate for full-year 2026 capex to $195 billion to $205 billion, from $180 billion to $190 billion. And that's just the beginning -- it added that next year's spending will be much higher, although it didn't provide an estimate. Like other companies reporting recently, Alphabet cited the need to devote considerable capital to AI hardware.

Public sector to the rescue? Tyler wasn't as badly affected by this as other software companies, as its client list consists entirely of public-sector entities. Since these tend to be less flexible about their budgets, if they're going to shift from spending on software to hardware, that change is likely to be gradual instead of sudden.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about Tyler getting hammered by this trend. It's done well servicing its niche, and its solutions are trusted and widely used throughout the public sector. I think the stock is now a juicy buy-on-weakness opportunity.

After a couple of years of beating the market, SoFi Technologies (SOFI -1.14%) has lost its momentum. The fintech specialist's shares have declined 39% since January. What's more, there are still potential risks ahead that could send the stock even lower. Should investors buy SoFi's shares at current levels, or is it best to stay far away from the company right now?
Image source: The Motley Fool.
What's going on with SoFi? SoFi encountered several headwinds this year. Here are three of them. First, the fintech leader was the target of a short-seller report that made alarming allegations. The author of the report, Muddy Waters, an activist short-selling firm, claimed, among many other things, that SoFi inflated its profitability through questionable accounting practices, including overstated loan values.
Second, SoFi's financial results and guidance haven't been as strong as the market anticipated. Third, SoFi appears to be overvalued, even after the stock's decline this year. The company's shares are trading at 28.1x forward earnings, versus an average of 15.2x for financial stocks. Given these headwinds, can SoFi recover?

The path forward Although SoFi's financial results haven't been quite up to market standards this year, they aren't terrible, not by any means. In the first quarter, the company's total revenue increased 43% year over year to $1.1 billion, while its earnings per share rose 100% to $0.12. Many investors expected more, especially given the company's valuation. But the company's forward price-to-earnings has declined significantly and is now about as low as it has been at any point over the past couple of years, and well below its average for this period.
SOFI PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
True, it is still above the industry average, but SoFi is growing revenue and earnings much faster than many of its peers, suggesting it is worth a premium. It's also worth noting that the company's ecosystem continues to expand. In the first quarter, SoFi had 14.7 million members, up 35% year over year. Product growth is also strong, rising 39% year over year to 22.2 million in the period.
But notice that this means the company has only 1.5 products per member, granting it significant room to grow its revenue by cross-selling additional services to its existing user base. SoFi could also see growth accelerate as it launches new products and services, while the company is arguably slowly building a moat through switching costs that will only deepen as its members sign up for more products. With that said, what should investors make of the short-seller report?
SoFi's management strongly denied Muddy Waters' claims. That doesn't mean they are false, but Muddy Waters, like all short-sellers, also has something to gain from SoFi's falling stock price. It's worth keeping an eye on that saga, but for now, my view is that it shouldn't weigh too much on the stock. There are other reasons SoFi remains somewhat risky to invest in, including its heavy reliance on personal loans. The stock will likely be volatile moving forward, whichever way it moves. For investors comfortable with heightened risk, it's worth initiating a small position in the company today.

Mr. Market didn't have much of an appetite for Sweetgreen (SG -0.66%) stock over the past few days. The salad-focused healthy cuisine restaurant chain operator fell out of favor due to increasingly stern warnings about the current outbreak of the cyclospora parasite, which has been linked to lettuce.
No cases have been reported at any Sweetgreen restaurant, but since it's a salad purveyor, investors were spooked anyway. According to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, the company's stock tumbled by almost 15% over the course of the trading week.
A widening outbreak The federal government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued its first Health Alert Network advisory last week. Since then, healthcare authorities have issued several updates indicating that cyclospora is spreading.

The latest came on Friday, with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcing that the outbreak, thought to originate in central Mexico, appears to have caused illnesses in nine states -- Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
All told, based on findings from the CDC, the parasite has affected 1,947 people. Of these, 98 hospitalizations have been reported, although there have been no fatalities.

Avoidance tactics While we're still some distance from a major, nationwide food healthcare emergency, the spread of cyclospora has been rapid, and caution is more than warranted. Diners will surely avoid restaurants like Sweetgreen, which in turn is going to affect the company's results. I think this stock has further to fall, so I'd avoid investing in it personally.
