Grubhub Owner Wonder Seeks Up to $500 Million to Refinance Debt
(Bloomberg) -- Grubhub Holdings Inc.'s owner Wonder has approached lenders including private credit firms as it seeks to raise between $400 million and $500 million to refinance the food delivery company's existing debt, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Mumbai Facelift Is Inspired by 200-Year-Old New York Blueprint Advocates Fear US Agents Are Using 'Wellness Checks' on Children as a Prelude to Arrests LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year Manhattan, Chicago Murder Rates Drop in 2025, Officials Say Wonder is seeking to include a payment-in-kind feature in the new financing, which would allow the company to defer at least a portion of its interest payments until the debt's final maturity, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. It is discussing an interest rate of around 13% with potential investors, which would be inclusive of the PIK component, according to one of the people. Private credit lenders typically offer PIK structures to fast-growing tech companies that have predictable revenue streams but need to burn through cash to acquire new customers or develop new products. Representatives for Grubhub and Wonder declined to comment. Private credit lenders have considered financing proposals for Grubhub in the past but a deal was never completed, some of the people said. Grubhub has $500 million of notes outstanding, which it issued in 2019 with the help of investment banks at a coupon of 5.5%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Wonder Group Inc. acquired Grubhub last year from Just Eat for about $650 million, paying $150 million in cash and assuming the $500 million of existing debt. The food delivery industry has faced pressure particularly in New York City, after the city placed a cap on fees meal-delivery companies could charge restaurants. Grubhub, Doordash Inc. and Uber Technologies Inc. recently agreed to settle a lawsuit over the caps in exchange for changes to the law that the city is expected to submit by the end of the year.

AI mania is worse than 1999's tech bubble, Apollo's top economist warns
A top Wall Street economist is sounding the alarm on sky-high valuations in AI stocks — and drawing comparisons to the tech bubble of the late 1990s. "Yes, AI will do incredible things for all of us," Torsten Sløk, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, said on Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid. "But does that mean I should be buying tech companies at any valuation?" (Disclosure: Yahoo Finance is owned by Apollo Global Management.) According to Sløk, the answer is increasingly no. In a research note to clients this week, he pointed to internal data showing the price-to-earnings ratios (P/E) of the 10 largest companies in the S&P 500 (^GSPC) — many of them AI stock picks like Meta (META) and Nvidia (NVDA) — have eclipsed P/E levels seen at the height of the dot-com bubble in 1999. That signals a dangerous concentration of investor exposure in just a handful of tech giants, Sløk argued. "Almost 40% of the S&P 500 is made up by the 10 largest companies," he said. "So if I take $100 as an investor and buy the S&P 500, I think I have exposure to 500 different stocks, but I'm really just betting on the Nvidia and the AI story continuing." In his note, Sløk noted that the current valuations in megacap tech stocks, and the index as a whole, may not be sustainable. His concerns echo a growing unease on Wall Street over how much of the recent stock market rally is driven by AI euphoria and momentum trades. BTIG analysts flagged similar warning signs in a note this week, describing market sentiment as "frothy" and raising the possibility of a near-term pullback in high-flying AI names. Their focus was on the BUZZ NextGen AI Sentiment Index, a benchmark of AI-related stocks popular with retail investors. The index is up 45% over the past 16 weeks and trading 29% above its 200-day moving average. According to BTIG, both are the highest since early 2021, when speculative tech stocks peaked. "Can it get more so like it did in '20-'21? Of course," BTIG analyst Jonathan Krinsky wrote. "But tactically, this feels a bit extreme to us." Krinsky also warned that the index's top holdings, including Rocket Lab (RKLB), Coinbase (COIN), and Unity Software (U), are showing "vertical" chart patterns and are increasingly vulnerable to "short-term shakeouts." The note suggests that investors consider rotating into more defensive sectors, such as utilities or even Chinese tech, which has been consolidating for months. Together, the Apollo and BTIG notes point to a growing split in the market between long-term optimism around AI's potential and near-term concerns that valuations and concentration have gone too far, too fast.

Crypto asset market hits record high $4T
The cryptocurrency asset market capitalization has climbed to $4 trillion for the first time on recent bitcoin (BTC=F) and ethereum (ETH-USD) rallies and Congress passing the GENIUS Act. Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Ines Ferré outlines what investors need to know. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Opening Bid here. Crypto. Uh, it's more just than having a moment. Uh, this is, you know, this story, it really has been the year of crypto now, especially off the genius Act. So a report by the FT this morning that President Trump may allow what, 401k, 401Ks to dabble in crypto, and we're seeing strength across the board here. Yeah, and that would be significant. We are. And the entire crypto asset market right now, cryptocurrencies, they are, have now reached $4 trillion for the first time ever. This includes Bitcoin, which is the big one, Ethereum, Solana, all the alt coins. So you are seeing a massive investor appetite when it comes to crypto across the board. This, of course, comes on the heels of the genius Act, which is heading to the president's desk. This creates guard rails for the stable coin industry. That is an industry which the street is expecting to grow to maybe 1.6 trillion by 2030. It's more than $250 billion right now. So in a bullish scenario, it could be even 3 trillion depending on which analyst that you talk to. You have seen not only Bitcoin going to all-time highs this week, but you've also seen a run-up in Ethereum because Ethereum will be a beneficiary of the entire stable coin boom as well. So across the board, you are seeing adoption, institutional adoption, and the genius Act, what it also does is it underpins the entire industry as a whole and it only accelerates crypto assets when it comes to finance, when it comes to payments. And the fact that you have the president pushing for this as well is a tailwind for the entire industry.
