Capital One Closes Discover Deal, Agrees to $425M Payout
Capital One (NYSE: COF) has completed its $35 billion acquisition of Discover, creating the largest credit card issuer in the U.S. The deal closed over the weekend after more than a year of regulatory review.
At the same time, Capital One agreed to pay $425 million to settle a class-action lawsuit involving its 360 Savings accounts.
The lawsuit claimed Capital One failed to inform customers about higher interest rates available through a newer product, the 360 Performance Savings account. Around 75% of affected customers still hold the older accounts and will receive a portion of the payout.
Resolving this case now helps Capital One avoid a public trial scheduled for July and clears a major legal hurdle tied to customer trust and account practices.
This move signals a shift toward legal cleanup and a growth focus for investors. Capital One’s Discover deal strengthens its credit card and payment scale, but regulatory pressure will likely continue. The combined company must now meet oversight requirements tied to Discover’s past issues, including fines and customer refunds.
With the merger finalized and legal risks partially reduced, investor focus will turn to how well Capital One integrates Discover while managing costs and compliance expectations.

U.S. Steel in Focus as Nippon Steel Unveils $14B Investment Push
U.S. Steel (NYSE: X) is back in the spotlight as Nippon Steel proposes a new $14 billion investment plan to push forward its acquisition of the company. The revised plan includes up to $4 billion for a new steel mill in the U.S., and $11 billion in upgrades across U.S. Steel’s operations through 2028.
The deal faces a national security review, with a decision deadline of May 21. The review follows earlier political opposition to foreign ownership of U.S. Steel, which is based in Pennsylvania.
To address those concerns, Nippon Steel’s new proposal increases its earlier investment offer by a wide margin.
This updated plan shows how committed Nippon is to securing the deal — and how valuable U.S. Steel’s domestic footprint has become in the current political and industrial climate.
For investors, this move signals rising pressure to close the transaction. If approved, shareholders could benefit from the announced $14.9 billion buyout offer.
U.S. Steel may remain independent but face ongoing volatility and scrutiny if blocked. The $565 million breakup fee also adds financial weight to the outcome.
With the review deadline days away, investor focus now turns to Washington and whether this deal will clear its final hurdle.

Bitcoin Rips Back to $105K as Debt Fears Shake Traditional Markets
Bitcoin quickly rebounded to $105,000 after a sharp 4% sell-off that rattled traders early this week. The dip followed broader market volatility driven by rising concerns over U.S. debt and long-term fiscal pressure.
The drop from $107,000 tested a key price zone where over 30,000 BTC had previously changed hands. Blockchain data shows strong holder conviction at this level, with minimal selling activity despite the pullback.
We think Bitcoin’s rapid recovery shows how the asset continues to behave as a pressure valve in times of economic stress. While global markets react to debt warnings and shifting interest rate expectations, Bitcoin remains one of the few major assets showing technical resilience.
For crypto investors, this week was a reminder that price shocks can bring opportunity. The bounce from $105K reinforces support levels and signals continued interest from long-term holders, even as macro headlines dominate the conversation.
As debt concerns grow and traditional markets wobble, Bitcoin’s role as a non-sovereign store of value is back in focus. All eyes now turn to whether BTC can reclaim $107K and test fresh highs in the weeks ahead.
Top Winners and Losers
Servotronics Inc [SVT] $37.78 (+267.20%)
Servotronics jumped after announcing that aerospace giant TransDigm would buy the company for $38.50 per share, representing a 274% premium.

The Arena Group Holdings Inc [AREN] $9.76 (+24.08%)
Arena Group rose after posting a profitable Q1 last Thursday. The report showed strong revenue growth, improved EBITDA, and a rebound from last year’s losses.
DeFi Development Corp [DFDV] $126.80 (-19.23%)
DeFi Development Corp pulled back after skyrocketing about 3,000% in the previous five weeks that was driven by SaaS growth and Solana crypto purchases.

Aeva is another stock that required a healthy correction after a strong rally in the previous weeks due to robust Q1 results and a major Airbus partnership.
Liquidia Corp [LQDA] $17.03 (-9.80%)
