Josh Brown thinks this brokerage stock is going 'way higher'

Interactive Brokers is a stock that should be on Wall Street's watchlist, according to Josh Brown of Ritholtz Wealth Management. "That's on my best stocks list. I think that's going way higher." the firm's CEO said on CNBC's " Halftime Report " on Tuesday, referring to Interactive Brokers. "Just looking at the way Schwab and Robinhood have been treated, I think that stock should get a bigger rally. And there are tons of those stories everywhere I look in the sector, so I think it's going to continue to work. I think you want to be in financials into end of the year," Brown added. Shares of the electronic broker are up more than 40% in 2025, as investors have grown optimistic on the company's exposure to a wide range of currencies and strong trading volumes seen this year. Interactive Brokers has also benefited from hopes that the Trump administration's deregulation push will be a boon for the financial sector, which is up about 9% year to date. Peers Charles Schwab and Robinhood, which Brown mentioned, have rallied about 29% and 175% this year, respectively. While deregulation is not a catalyst for any specific financial stock, it is a tailwind for growth in the sector, Brown said. He said he thinks financials can do even better given the growth of multi-millionaire households, middle-class consumer spending and "explosive growth" in individuals' 401(k) retirement account balances. "The deregulation story is like the climate," Brown said. "It exists, and it's a different climate than what we experienced over the previous four years. And it probably, in the background, has helped people feel a little bit better about buying some of these wealth managers, asset managers, money center banks at an elevated price-to-book over what they would have paid five years ago when they were being regulated like utilities. So now, there's a little bit more slack in the reins." Analysts covering Interactive Brokers have an average price target on the stock that implies nearly 6% potential upside ahead, per LSEG. Of the 10 analysts covering the name, eight rate it a buy or strong buy.

If You're Thinking About Buying an EV, Trump Made Now the Time To Do It

If you've been on the fence about switching to an electric vehicle (EV), now might be the perfect time to make the leap. Tax credits for buying an EV were supposed to last through 2032, per CNBC, but President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' killed the tax breaks for new and used EVs. While the bill axed the credit, there's still time to take advantage before EVs become more costly. With the clean vehicle credit, qualified buyers can receive a $7,500 credit for new EV or a $4,000 credit for a used EV until Sept. 30 2025. The credit can reduce the cost of the vehicle by thousands; however, there are several restrictions to take note of. Read Next: Check Out: Here's what to know about the credit and why it might be the smartest time to buy. Clean Vehicle Credit Guidelines Not all buyers can cash in on the credit. According to the IRS, income ceilings stop at $150,000 for individual filers. That rises to $225,000 for heads of household and $300,000 for joint filers. According to Rob Dillan, automotive expert and founder of EVhype, there are price caps for vehicles, too — $55,000 for sedans and $80,000 for vans, SUVs and trucks. 'Fifty percent or more of a vehicle's battery must also be made with American parts, and the vehicle must be constructed with materials from the United States or countries the United States has trade agreements with,' he explained. 'These criteria will also rule out some EV models, so potential buyers will need to verify eligibility before purchasing.' In addition, the EV must weigh less than 14,000 pounds in gross vehicle weight, have a battery storage capacity of 7 kilowatt-hours or more, go through final production in North America, and be produced by a qualified manufacturer (excluding fuel-cell vehicles), per TurboTax. Learn More: Now Is the Time To Buy If you qualify, the credit could significantly lower the cost of buying an EV. 'The credit is going to make a big difference in cost, since the average transaction price of a new EV in 2025 is projected to be $56,910,' Dillan said. 'The federal tax credit is also likely to disappear in September based on timing alone, so now certainly seems to be the time for potential owners to move if they want to cash in on this financial bonus.' EV Considerations EV sales are up 11.4% year over year, according to Kelley Blue Book, with new models from Acura, Audi, Chevrolet, Honda and Porsche helping drive up sales. But before deciding whether an EV is the way to go, there are many things to consider. 'Depreciation is a big factor to take note of,' Dillan said. 'Some electric vehicle models hold only 49% of their value after two years, compared with 83% for gasoline-powered cars.' Reasons for the drop in value include battery life, limited charging stations, quickly evolving tech that becomes obsolete in older models and brand reputation, per Diminished Value of Georgia. With that in mind, it reported that the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Kona Electric are proving to have a higher resale value than previous EV models. Owning an EV will save you on gas, but Dillan said without the tax credit savings, 'the massive savings on maintenance and fuel bills are likely not enough to recoup the higher purchase price and possible depreciation hit of an electric vehicle.'
