After showing off her outfit on her way to ABC News, she shows her Target lunchbox to the camera: \"$15 with thousands of dollars of medicine inside.\" Must Read Jeff Bezos backs a platform that lets anyone invest in rental homes for as little as $100 \u2014 6 ways to build wealth like a landlord without actually being one Dave Ramsey warns nearly 50% of Americans are making 1 big Social Security mistake. Here's what it is and 3 simple steps to fix it ASAP Millionaires under 43 hold only 25% of their wealth in stocks. Here's where their money is actually going AOC said her decision to freeze her eggs took her time to \"consider, weigh and save up for\" and ultimately is something she wants to do so she can \"feel more in control\" of her life. She's hoping to normalize this process and shed light on all its ups, downs and costs. Going through a medical procedure to retrieve and freeze eggs can help improve the chances of successful conception through IVF at a later time. It can be used by those looking to delay child-bearing or preserve their fertility before a medical treatment such as chemotherapy. AOC is certainly not the only person undergoing this process, but hopes that sharing her journey will help \"normalize not keeping women's bodies in the shadows.\" A 2025 UCLA study found that between 2014 and 2021, there was a big increase in the number of planned elective egg-freezing cycles. During that time, women began freezing their eggs at younger ages, with the average age dropping from 36 years in 2014 to 34.9 in 2021. AOC wrote: \"There is so much to advocate for - from the exorbitant costs and lack of insurance coverage to addressing the enormous gaps in medical research on women and reproductive care. When I was weighing doing this, I saw very little that I could relate to. Not too long ago, I was waitressing and had to save for years to get to this moment. I wasn't sure what it'd be like, or if it would be worth the massive investment of time, money, and the toll on my body.\" A costly experience According to New Hope Fertility, the average cost to freeze your eggs can be up to $20,000 when all components are taken into consideration. Here's how they break down the costs: Story Continues One cycle of egg freezing: $4,200 to $8,000 Medications to stimulate egg production: $2,000 to $6,000 Storage: $500 to $1,000 per year It is possible to reduce the costs a bit with insurance if you have it. According to a 2021 survey by Mercer, about 19% of large companies in the U.S. cover the egg-freezing procedure in their employee-based insurance plans. Though she has the money for this process now, AOC doesn't discount the time she spent to save up for it. Unfortunately, not everyone is keen on her sharing this experience with the public.

Far-right commentator Matt Walsh posted on X saying: \"She'll turn 37 in a couple months. If she got pregnant now, it would technically be a geriatric pregnancy. Instead she's freezing her eggs. This desire to start having children late in life is completely baffling to me. I'll have kids in their 20s by the time I turn 50. AOC apparently wants to have a toddler at that age.

Target (TGT), which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Discount Stores industry, could be a great candidate to consider. When looking at the last two reports, this retailer has recorded a strong streak of surpassing earnings estimates. The company has topped estimates by 16.86%, on average, in the last two quarters. For the most recent quarter, Target was expected to post earnings of $1.41 per share, but it reported $1.71 per share instead, representing a surprise of 21.28%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $2.17 per share, while it actually produced $2.44 per share, a surprise of 12.44%. Price and EPS Surprise For Target, estimates have been trending higher, thanks in part to this earnings surprise history. And when you look at the stock's positive Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction), it's a great indicator of a future earnings beat, especially when combined with its solid Zacks Rank. Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Target has an Earnings ESP of +16.66% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner. The company's next earnings report is expected to be released on August 19, 2026. Investors should note, however, that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss, but a negative value does reduce the predictive power of this metric. Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate. Story Continues Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

He most recently served as Chief Revenue Officer at PAYARC, where he significantly grew the company's partner network, ISOs, and ISVs and led the organization through rapid growth. Davis spent the past five years leading engineering at Tilled, a PayFac-as-a-Service platform, and before that held engineering leadership roles at Shipt during a period of rapid growth that ended with Shipt's $550 million acquisition by Target. The appointments come at a pivotal moment for CardFlight. Since receiving a significant growth investment from WestView Capital Partners in 2024, the company has accelerated its product roadmap, launched the SwipeSimple App Marketplace, and continued to expand its partner network to more than 200 resellers. Ten of the top 25 merchant acquirers in the United States now recommend SwipeSimple as a preferred small business payment solution. \"CardFlight is entering a new phase of growth, and these appointments reflect the scale of our ambition,\" said Derek Webster, Founder and CEO of CardFlight. \"Dustin is one of the most respected revenue leaders in payments, and Bryan brings experience scaling payments technology and a strong track record of integrating AI into engineering teams' work.

He previously held the position of Senior Vice President of Sales at TSYS, a Global Payments company and one of the world's largest payment processors, where he spent nearly a decade building and managing partnerships across the ISO, agent, payment facilitator, and referral partner channels. Earlier in his career, Siner held other executive and senior leadership positions while steadily building a reputation as a trusted and results-driven leader in the merchant acquiring space. \"CardFlight has built something exceptional, a product that merchants love, a channel that partners trust, and a team that executes at an elite level,\" said Siner. \"I am honored to join at this stage of the company's growth and excited to help expand the reach of SwipeSimple to even more small businesses and partners across the country.\" Siner holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Colorado Boulder.

Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. Walmart (NasdaqGS:WMT) is taking a higher profile in US economic policy as former CEO Doug McMillon joins a new Federal Reserve task force focused on real time retail data and AI. The Fed group is expected to explore how large scale transaction data from retailers could inform future monetary policy signals and economic monitoring. At the same time, US presidential candidates are increasing public pressure on major retailers, including Walmart, over pricing practices and the perceived impact on household budgets. These moves put Walmart closer to the center of policy debates that may influence how it sets prices, manages data and communicates with regulators and voters. For readers tracking how politics, inflation concerns and hard assets are converging, the broader theme of policy sensitive inflation hedges is worth a closer look through 29 elite gold producer stocksNasdaqGS:WMT 1-Year Stock Price Chart Walmart sits at the center of US consumer spending, which keeps its stock closely watched when politics and household budgets intersect. The shares trade at about $112.66, with the stock up 9.3% over the past year and 117.5% over three years. That kind of move has pushed Walmart further onto the radar of investors who track both policy risk and large cap retail exposure. Does the team leading Walmart have what it takes? See our full breakdown of the management team's track record and compensation. Walmart's policy reach meets its AI and data profit story The central bet in Walmart's Narrative is that its scale, omni-channel reach and AI-powered data capabilities help shift profit pools toward higher-margin services and advertising. This policy moment puts a spotlight on how credible that data-led story really is. \"Expansion of high-margin business streams such as Walmart Connect, marketplace, and Walmart+ memberships is diversifying Walmart's income base beyond retail, gradually transforming the company's profit mix...\" Read the full Walmart narrative to see the case behind these numbers Doug McMillon's seat on the Fed's data task force speaks directly to the AI and data-profit catalyst. It reinforces the idea that Walmart's transaction data and analytics are not just operational tools but a potential profit pool in their own right, in line with the Narrative's focus on higher-margin businesses such as Walmart Connect. That sits alongside a stream of new category launches across health, wellness and family products, which deepen the data set the Narrative leans on. Story Continues The pressure point is different. Presidential scrutiny of pricing touches a key risk already in the Narrative, where tariff and cost shocks can force Walmart to choose between passing on higher prices or accepting thinner margins. That political lens may limit how far Walmart can lean on pricing to support profitability, especially compared with Amazon or Target, and instead may push it further toward data, advertising and memberships to do the heavy lifting. What this news does not resolve is whether international e-commerce and logistics costs, which the Narrative flags as a drag, can be brought under control while policy involvement and political visibility rise. Whether this news matters depends on the Narrative you believe for the company.
