Dream Finders Homes Inc. is close to announcing a $704 million offer to acquire rival homebuilder Beazer Homes USA Inc. , according to people familiar with the matter. Jacksonville, Florida-based DFH could reveal its all-cash bid of $25.75-per-share for Beazer as soon as Monday, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information. That would represent a roughly 40% premium to Beazer’s closing price on May 5, the day on which DFH submitted the offer to the target’s board, the people said. Shares in Beazer closed at $18.77 in New York on Friday, giving the company a market value of about $513 million. DFH has been trying to engage with Beazer since February and has become a top-10 shareholder in its Atlanta-based peer, the people said. DFH, which is controlled by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Zalupski , has a market value of about $1.3 billion. A representative for Beazer said that DFH’s May offer had come in at a “reduced valuation from two prior unsolicited proposals” submitted in February and March that undervalued the company. “The Beazer board, together with its advisers, has been considering the May 5 unsolicited proposal, including relative to the prior unsolicited proposals, and expects to respond in due course,” the representative said. A spokesperson for DFH declined to comment. DFH and Beazer both design and build single-family homes and dwellings — a part of the economy that has come under closer scrutiny from US President Donald Trump amid concerns around affordability. Trump signed an executive order in March focused on cutting red tape around housing construction, eliminating rules that constrain development and affordability. In January, he signed an order aimed at preventing large institutional investors from buying single-family homes looking to convert them into rental properties. Zalupski became the majority owner of the Tampa Bay Rays Major League Baseball team last year, according to the team’s website ...

Norovirus Outbreak Sickens 115 People on Caribbean Princess Cruise Ship, CDC Says Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times, More than 110 people aboard the Caribbean Princess cruise ship have fallen ill due to a norovirus outbreak, a common cause of gastrointestinal illnesses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Caribbean Princess, owned by Princess Cruises, departed from the port of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on April 28 and is currently sailing in the North Atlantic Ocean, according to CruiseMapper. The voyage dates were April 28 to May 11. The ship is carrying 3,116 passengers and 1,131 crew members and is expected to arrive in Port Canaveral, Florida, on May 11. The norovirus outbreak was reported on the ship on May 7, affecting 102 passengers and 13 crew members, with diarrhea and vomiting identified as the predominant symptoms, the CDC said in an update . Princess Cruises and the crew have increased cleaning and disinfection procedures in response to the outbreak, the CDC stated. Other measures include collecting stool samples from patients with gastrointestinal illness for testing and isolating passengers and crew members who have fallen ill. The crew also consulted with the CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) regarding sanitation cleaning procedures and reporting of sick individuals, the agency said. “VSP is conducting a field response for an environmental assessment and outbreak investigation to assist the ship in controlling the outbreak,” it stated. The Epoch Times has reached out to Princess Cruises for comment, but did not receive a response by publication time. Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States, accounting for 58 percent of such infections each year, according to the CDC. Apart from vomiting and diarrhea, other frequently reported symptoms include muscle aches, headaches, abdominal cramps, and fever. In March, a norovirus outbreak was reported aboard the Star Princess, also owned...

In this article CRCL BLSH COIN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Circle Internet Group Initial Public Offering at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City, U.S., June 5, 2025. NYSE Circle Internet Group has raised $222 million in the presale of Arc, the native token of its new blockchain, as the company looks to expand beyond its core business of issuing the USDC stablecoin, CNBC has learned. Andreessen Horowitz served as the lead investor in the raise with a $75 million investment. Other investors include BlackRock , Apollo Funds, New York Stock Exchange parent Intercontinental Exchange , SBI Group, Janus Henderson Investors, Standard Chartered Ventures, General Catalyst, Marshall Wace, ARK Invest, IDG Capital, Haun Ventures and the crypto exchange and CoinDesk owner Bullish . The raise gives Arc a fully diluted network valuation of $3 billion. "[Blockchain] infrastructure is becoming as important as mobile operating systems or cloud platforms," Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire told CNBC in an exclusive interview. "We want to build an operating system that has many, many stakeholders in it ... major companies who are running the infrastructure with us and who ultimately help to govern it." "We're becoming a broader internet platform company," Allaire added. "We're entering the operating system business and we're doing it by building this multi-stakeholder distributed model with a token, with a distributed network. But it is an operating system business. And we're also getting into the apps business." Arc is a public blockchain designed for institutional finance. Allaire emphasized it's about more than stablecoins and payments — noting it can "run the actual economy." "The economy is not just representations of values, it's every contract that undergirds those financial relationships ... the systems of governance that we use to govern all these economic institutions," Allaire said. As a 25% stakeholder in Arc's initial supply of 10 billion tokens, Circle ...

Brent crude jumped as much as 4.6% to just under $106 a barrel. Bond yields rose around the globe on fears the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz will fuel inflation. Global stocks, by contrast, had little reaction to the impasse. China’s factory prices grew at the fastest pace since the pandemic as the fallout from the Iran war sharply raises costs and pressures profits. It’s a big week for the US administration. Trump is expected to press Xi Jinping over China’s approach to Iran when they meet in Beijing. Scott Bessent is also visiting Japan. (Read on for more details). Amazon is preparing to issue Swiss franc bonds for the first time and Alphabet is selling debut yen bonds as Big Tech firms turn to new debt markets to fund AI spending. Alphabet domination Not so long ago, Alphabet was an AI afterthought. Now the Google parent’s multifaceted approach to the technology is putting it in position to take the title of world’s largest company from Nvidia. “Alphabet holds a significant spot in almost every corner of the AI ecosystem, and the combination of everything it offers puts it in a prime position to be the biggest winner of AI,” said Luke O’Neill, CIO at CooksonPeirce Wealth Management, which owns stakes in Alphabet and Nvidia. Stock update: Alphabet closed Friday with a market capitalization of $4.8 trillion, compared with $5.2 trillion for Nvidia. Nvidia may be the leader in building AI chips, but Alphabet has a rival product that’s gaining favor. It also owns a bunch of massive businesses like Google Search, Google Cloud, YouTube and Waymo. In addition, Alphabet’s Gemi...
