Wall Street ended the week on a sour note as investors digested a stronger-than-expected May jobs report, sending stocks lower, pressuring bitcoin below $60,000, and dragging down shares of Broadcom despite better-than-expected quarterly results.
The U.S. labor market showed unexpected strength in May as nonfarm payrolls increased by 172,000, more than double economists’ forecasts, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%.
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) extended its recent slide, falling below the $60,000 level on Friday for the first time since September 2024 as risk-off sentiment intensified across global markets and fueled broad selling pressure in digital assets.
Shares of Broadcom (AVGO) fell sharply this week as investors reacted to Friday’s broader market selloff despite the company reporting fiscal second-quarter results that topped expectations, including adjusted earnings of $2.44 per share and revenue of $22.19B earlier in the week.
For the week, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) fell -4.68%, and the benchmark S&P (SP500) lost -2.59%, while the blue-chip Dow (DJI) lost -0.32%. Read a preview of next week’s major events in Seeking Alpha’s Catalyst Watch.
The U.S. stock market just got another massive listing plan as Anthropic (ANTHRO) beat OpenAI (OPENAI) to the punch, confidentially filing for an IPO this week. OpenAI is expected to file its own IPO paperwork in the coming weeks, if not days. The listings would be a major test for the broader AI frenzy, investor sentiment and the sector’s valuation landscape. Read more.

Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (SENS) Shareholder/Analyst Call Transcript
Tim Goodnow
President, CEO & Director
Thanks for joining us. And as we update you folks on the Senseonics story, it’s a pretty exciting time for us. As many of you know, for those that were able to join us a year ago, we had a partnership with the PHC Corporation for the commercial activities. We’ve transitioned that since we last spoke. And it’s a pretty exciting time for us as we’ve been able to leverage that experience and that capability significantly with our strategic investment into the commercial organization. And frankly, we’re very excited with the commercial results that we’re now getting.
So obviously, the control of our destiny is very, very important, because it gives us the ability to pivot and move quick, make adjustments, expand those areas that make the most sense and frankly, leverage the internal capability. But we’ve been able to do that because, although we did the transition, we’ve essentially brought the entire Ascensia commercial organization over under Brian’s leadership, and that really has made a seamless process that we’ve been very excited to be able to execute against.
We also made the decision as part of that transition in the last year that the primary issue for growth with Eversense in a highly competitive market, but a very attractive market really had to

STK: Still Has Room To Run But Isn’t As Attractive (NYSE:STK)
Financial analyst by day and a seasoned investor by passion, I’ve been involved in the world of investing for over 15 years and honed my skills in analyzing lucrative opportunities within the market.I specialize in uncovering high quality dividend stocks and other assets that offer potential for long term-growth that pack a serious punch for bill-paying potential. I use myself as an example that with a solid base of classic dividend growth stocks, sprinkling in some Business Development Companies, REITs, and Closed End Funds can be a highly efficient way to boost your investment income while still capturing a total return that follows traditional index funds. I created a hybrid system between growth and income and manage to still capture a total return that is on par with the S&P.
Analyst’s Disclosure: I/we have a beneficial long position in the shares of STK either through stock ownership, options, or other derivatives. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha).

My Bullish Call On Bank Of America Aligns With Its Seeking Alpha Quant Rating (NYSE:BAC)
As an individual investor nearing retirement I am trying to build my financial assets in order to have a fulfilling retirement.
