Edge or Ultra? Samsung's latest premium Galaxy phones are both AU$400 off for EOFY — but today only

Tom's Guide2 days ago
If you've been holding out for a good deal before picking up a new Samsung flagship device, you should know that time is running out to take advantage of the EOFY sales. In fact, today is your last chance to score an epic discount before the start of the new financial year.
So if you're looking to grab a new phone and still claim it as a tax deduction for the current financial year, now's the time to make a decision.
Right now, both the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Edge have hit their lowest prices to date, with massive savings of up to AU$452 on the table for EOFY.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best phone of 2025 so far, and you can pick up the 256GB model right now for a cool AU$2,149 AU$1,697 on Amazon. Alternatively, the 512GB model has been reduced by AU$424, now only AU$2,349 AU$1,925. If I didn't already have this phone, I would snatch this deal up in a heartbeat.
It tops our list of the best phones in Australia for 2025, and now you can pick up the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra at its lowest price ever thanks to this amazing deal from Amazon. Score the 256GB model in any colour option at a massive AU$452 discount right. Alternatively, you could opt to buy it in one of its exclusive colours direct from Samsung for AU$1,749.
Or how about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which only released at the end of May this year? You can now snag the 256GB model for an impressive AU$1,849 AU$1,449, while the 512GB model has also had its price slashed, now only AU$2,049 AU$1,649.
That's a saving of AU$400 for a phone that's only a month old! Talk about an incredibly attractive proposition for early adopters.
Samsung's wafer-thin Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone has received an epic AU$400 discount in all storage sizes, just weeks out from release. Right now at Amazon, both the Titanium Black and Titanium Silver models are reduced, though you can get these colours or the Titanium Icyblue variant for the same price if you buy directly from the Samsung online store.
If you're after the best smartphone experience, my advice is to look no further than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It not only boasts the immensely powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, it also sports Samsung's most advanced smartphone camera system to date, featuring a 200MP main sensor, a new 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 10MP telephoto lens. Additionally, it offers the latest Galaxy AI features and a convenient built-in S Pen for seamless note-taking.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Edge shares the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 200MP main camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but distinguishes itself with an incredibly sleek new frame, measuring a mere 5.8mm in thickness. However, it does come with a couple of drawbacks: the rest of its camera array isn't as capable as the Ultra's, and it also lacks S Pen support.
Regardless of which phone you prefer, there's no denying that these are exceptionally good deals. You'll have to act fast, though, as these deals are unlikely to still be around tomorrow.

Eli Lilly (LLY) Faces Bearish Options Flow, But Probabilities Tell a Different Story

At first glance, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly (LLY) may seem like an awfully risky wager. On Friday, LLY stock fell 2.47%, bringing its year-to-date performance to only 0.45% above parity. For context, the benchmark S&P 500 index — which isn't exactly lighting up the scoreboard — has gained nearly 5% during the same period. As such, the soft return looks rather conspicuous. Further, LLY stock represented one of the entries in Barchart's screener for unusual stock options volume — but not necessarily for good reasons. Following Friday's closing bell, total options volume reached 54,014 contracts, representing a 29.74% lift over the trailing one-month average. Breaking down the details, call volume was 29,060 contracts while put volume stood at 24,954. Jeff Bezos Unloads $5.4B in Amazon Shares: Should You Buy or Sell AMZN Stock Now?

Sign Up Now! The above pairing yielded a put/call ratio of 0.86, which might seem bullish. However, options flow — which focuses exclusively on big block transactions likely placed by institutional investors — revealed that net trade sentiment heading into last weekend was more than $1.6 million below parity, thus favoring the bears. Overall, gross bearish sentiment was $3.409 million below parity while gross bullish sentiment was $1.806 million. Still, it's important to point out that unusual options activity — as useful as it may be — isn't the end-all, be-all to determine the forward trajectory of LLY stock. Indeed, it would be a presuppositional fallacy to take the aberrant data from the derivatives market and assign a probabilistic thesis. Instead, we can turn to market demand profiles to better gauge the current sentiment regime and conduct a statistical analysis on what we can expect in the future. However, to do this exercise requires some rearrangement of market data. Initially, the process of calculating the forward probability of LLY stock (or any security) seems like a straightforward exercise: merely take the frequency of the desired outcome divided by the total number of events in the dataset. However, this exercise only calculates the derivative probability or the outcome odds over the dataset's entire distribution. What we're looking for? We need conditional odds, which are the outcome odds over a specific subset of the data. To use a baseball analogy, derivative probabilities are similar to a player's batting average last season. Conditional probabilities are akin to situational batting averages, such as when there are runners in scoring position (RISP). The latter is a much more useful metric. Unfortunately, you can't just plug in typical financial metrics such as share price or valuation ratios as these figures are continuous. That's why I prefer converting stock price data into market breadth or sequences of accumulative and distributive sessions. Market breadth is functionally binary and by logical deduction is a discrete event. In the past two months, the price action of LLY stock can be converted as a '6-4-D' sequence: six up weeks, four down weeks, with a negative trajectory across the 10-week period. Admittedly, this conversion process compresses LLY's magnitude dynamism into a simple binary code. But the benefit is that this code can be categorized into distinct, discrete demand profiles over 10-week intervals. These profiles can then serve as the basis for past analogs to ultimately extract forward probabilities. Specifically, when the 6-4-D sequence flashes, the price action in the following week (which in this case corresponds with the business week beginning June 30) sees upside 68.42% of the time, with a median return of 2.47%. Should the bulls maintain control of the market over the next three weeks, LLY stock could reach near $812. With the market intelligence above, aggressive speculators may consider the 795/805 bull call spread expiring July 25. This transaction involves buying the $795 call and simultaneously selling the $805 call, for a net debit paid of $555, the most that can be lost in the trade. Should LLY stock rise through the short strike price ($805) at expiration, the maximum reward is $445, or a payout of over 80%. Granted, based on the above numbers, one could theoretically opt for the 795/810 bull spread, also expiring July 25. However, the net debit required is $690, which is a hefty nominal risk, though the payout is enticing at 117.39%. Either way, what makes the above strategies attractive is the implied shift in sentiment regime of the 6-4-D sequence. As a baseline, LLY stock enjoys a strong upward bias, with the chance that a long position will be profitable on any given week clocking in at 60.18%. What the 6-4-D does is to tilt the odds even more in favor of the bullish speculator. You're not going to get that kind of detail or insight from just reading and interpreting unusual options activity. That's why I believe it's important to think in discrete terms rather than attempting to find patterns in continuous signals.

South Korea's Stock Market Is Having a Moment

Even as the K-pop heartthrobs of BTS wrap up their military service and plot their return to arenas worldwide, the hottest thing in South Korea lately has been its stock market. Global investors poured almost $3 billion into Korean equities in May and June, propelling the country's benchmark index up about 28% in the first half of the year, trailing globally only Slovenia's blue-chip index, a gauge of Zambian equities and a basket of 20 Polish stocks. It's a dramatic turnaround for a place that's undergone huge political and economic turmoil in recent months: a declaration of martial law (rescinded hours later), a presidential impeachment and removal from office, and Donald Trump's 10% tariffs—scheduled to jump to 25% on July 9—which threaten to wreak havoc on export juggernauts such as Hyundai, LG and Samsung. Despite those hurdles and the global malaise stemming from wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, investors are piling into Korean stocks because, they say, the country's business culture is poised for a sharp transformation. 'Such movements are unstoppable once they start,' says Kim Ki Baek, a portfolio manager at Korea Investment Management Co.
