The post Americans Are Carrying More Debt Than Ever. Accredited Debt Relief Can Reduce Eligible Monthly Payments by 40% or More. by Benzinga Contributors appeared first on Benzinga . Visit Benzinga to get more great content like this. The number of Americans with debt is at an all-time high. U.S. consumers are carrying $17.5 trillion in personal debt, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and more than three-quarters of U.S. adults have some form of debt, including mortgages and student loans. On top of that, consumers are increasingly spending more to try to bring that debt down. The average household spent more than 11% of their disposable income on debt payments in the last quarter of 2025, the Federal Reserve says. While repaying debt can’t be avoided, there’s a simple way to reduce the amount of money spent on those payments. Accredited Debt Relief is a leading debt consolidation company that has helped more than 1 million clients take meaningful steps toward getting out of debt. Over the course of its work, the company has supported clients in paying off more than $3 billion in debt. Customers can reduce monthly payments by 40% or more on eligible debt. Accredited Debt Relief is recognized for its client-first approach, earning multiple ConsumerAffairs Buyer’s Choice Awards for Customer Service, Overall Process and Best Value.

NOW slides 13% in a month as Middle East deal delays and fierce SaaS rivals bite, even as AI-native SKUs and the Armis deal lift guidance.

US President Donald Trump sang the praises of King Charles after the latter’s state visit this week. He even lifted some tariffs on Scotch whisky as a favour to the British monarch. The king delivered a diplomatic masterclass on the trip, mixing praise for his host with subtle criticism. It’s unclear, though, whether it will make a major difference to a transatlantic relationship troubled by divisions over issues including the Iran war. “In the short term probably yes, in the long term probably...

Blindsiding Brussels late on May Day bank holiday on Friday, he announced that he would be increasing tariffs on cars and lorries imported into the US from the EU from 15% to 25% from next week.

Robot Dives 1.5 Miles, Maps French Shipwreck With 86,000 Images And Recovers Artifacts Authored by Neetika Walter via Interesting Engineering , A remotely operated robot has retrieved artifacts from a 16th-century shipwreck more than 1.5 miles beneath the Mediterranean , offering a glimpse into how precision deep-sea robotics is transforming underwater exploration. Guided from a support vessel above, the system used camera-fed navigation and robotic pincers to maneuver across fragile debris fields, capture high-resolution imagery, and recover centuries-old objects without disturbing the surrounding site. ROV C 4000 remotely operated vehicle designed for deep-sea missions up to 2.5 miles. Thibaud MORITZ / AFP via Getty Images The mission, led by the French Navy and underwater archaeologists, centers on a wreck known as Camarat 4, discovered during a routine seabed survey. The site lies at extreme depth, where pressure, darkness, and limited access make human intervention impossible. Operators control the robot through a tethered system, watching live video feeds as it descends for nearly an hour before reaching the seafloor. Once in position, the robot scans the wreck, hovering carefully over scattered cargo and structural remains. Archaeologists say they discovered by chance what they say are the remains of a 16th-century merchant ship more than 1.5 miles underwater off southern France. National Navy via France's Department of Underwater and Submarine Archaeological Research According to the CBS News , the vehicle captures thousands of images while navigating tight spaces, helping researchers document the site without physically disturbing it. At depths exceeding 1.5 miles, the robot operates under extreme pressure of nearly 150 atmospheres, where conventional equipment would fail. Its reinforced structure, stable tether system, and precision controls allow it to function reliably in near-freezing, low-light conditions. Precision at extreme depth “ You have to be ex...

格隆汇5月2日｜美联储在固定利率逆回购操作中总计接纳了5个对手方的6.07亿美元。

Roku rallied as much as 9% Friday following its first-quarter earnings report on Thursday, and the provider of streamed entertainment still has more room to run, according to leading analysts on Wall Street. Roku continues to strengthen its businesses and is benefiting from broader industry tailwinds, they said. Morgan Stanley reiterated its overweight rating on Roku, while Bank of America maintained its buy rating. Both investment banks hiked their price target on Roku shares to $150, implying 29% upside from Thursday's close. Roku reported revenue of $1.25 billion in the March quarter, 22% more than the same period a year ago and beating the $1.2 billion expected by analysts surveyed by FactSet. Silicon Valley-based Roku also posted $148.4 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, above analysts' consensus estimate of $131.3 million. The Roku forecast for second-quarter adjusted EBITDA, revenue and gross profit was also above analysts' expectations. "Roku continues to inflect," Morgan Stanley analyst Sean Diffley said Friday in a note to clients. "The 1Q beat and conservative FY26 raise leave room for upside, with Political a tailwind in [the second half of the year]," he said, referencing midterm election-related political advertising on TV. Roku shares, at a 52-week Friday, are ahead 28% in the past month but are still trading at roughly a quarter of their all-time high level reached 2021. ROKU YTD mountain Roku shares are up 12% since the beginning of the year. The streaming platform is pursuing a multi-faceted strategy to edge out competitors in the streaming wars amid a continued rise in cord cutting. Roku, with a market capitalization above $17 billion, has increased its spending on sports, according to Morgan Stanley. In addition, it has secured demand-side partnerships with Trade Desk as well as Amazon and Google 's advertising arms over the past few years, enabling it to boost ad revenue. "We expect U.S. [connecte...

There was a lot that could have made the stock market fall. Investors shrugged off questions about when—or even if—the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates again this year after the central bank held rates steady, and it ignored the fact that Jerome Powell plans to stay on the Fed’s Board of Governors even as Kevin Warsh prepares to become chair. Inflation came in hot as oil prices continued to rise, and earnings from Microsoft and Meta Platforms revealed sizable capital spending increases—and resulted in falling stocks. Eli Lilly earnings offered evidence that weight-loss drugs were only getting bigger; Coca-Cola’s beat showed that not all soft-drink makers are suffering from an Ozempic overhang; Alphabet’s capital spending paid off with big profits; and Caterpillar’s numbers demonstrated that there’s more to its business than mining and machinery.
