Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s 'Got Game,' Says Jim Cramer

Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s 'Got Game,' Says Jim Cramer

Yahoo21-07-2025
We recently published . Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.
Cramer has consistently discussed Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) over the past few weeks. These days, the firm's troubles with the US government are on the CNBC TV host's mind. Cramer believes that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) needs to spend its $500 billion investment commitment in the US in order to curry favor with the Trump administration. This time, he commented on how Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is making a name for itself in the content production business:
[AAPL]'By the way, Apple came up in their conversation. Now I'm quoting our own people, but, that Apple's got game. And that's true. But Apple lives and dies by the cellphone.

Previously, Cramer commented on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s AI strategy:
'This is one of the reasons why I'm so concerned about Apple. Here's a company with absolutely no AI strategy that I can see that does buying back stock endlessly, which, by the way, has accomplished nothing. Take it from me… And it started down the path of the old IBM where if it wasn't invented there, it wasn't good enough. We know where that strategy only… [brought] IBM, and it took many years to recover from it. Apple can change course by spending big money to acquire Perplexity, which I regard as a just-the-facts-ma'am engine, no bias that I can find. Right now, at this very moment… where there's no clear winner, and each offering seems to be fighting for second place, Apple can step in to become the number one AI chat company immediately…
While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Jackson Hole, key retail earnings, and fresh economic data: Here's everything the stock market is watching this week

Markets are kicking off another news- and data-heavy week. Investors are watching for the July Fed minutes, fresh housing data, and a slew of retail earnings. The spotlight will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments at Jackson Hole on Friday. Get ready for another big week for the stock market. Investors are staring at a handful of catalysts on the radar this week, with a slew of fresh earnings reports and key signals from the Fed on the docket. All could be influential in determining the path ahead for Fed rate cuts — a bullish catalyst investors have been waiting for all year. Odds for a cut next month have edged down slightly since last week, but markets are still pricing in an 85% chance the Fed will cut rates by a quarter of a percentage point at the September meeting, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. Here's what investors will be reacting to this week. Fed minutes Investors will be paying close attention to the minutes from the Fed's July policy meeting on Wednesday. The meeting minutes will give markets more insight into the central bank's thoughts about inflation, the strength of the US economy, and its outlook for rate cuts going forward. It comes at a crucial time for the Fed, which is at a crossroads over the direction of monetary policy. Powell has continued to signal this year that the Fed is comfortable keeping rates steady, as officials wait to see the inflationary impact of tariffs. But inflation data has been mixed recently. Consumer prices rose in-line with economists' expectations last month, but wholesale inflation rose more than expected in the latest producer price index, a sign that more inflationary pressures could be building. Meanwhile, the job market has shown signs of cooling. The US added fewer jobs than expected in July, while job gains in May and June were revised downward by a combined 258,000. "Traders will be closely watching the minutes for more insight into the future rate-cut trajectory," Aaron Hill, an analyst at FP Markets, wrote in a note. "Still, the slowdown in the labour market data, as noted above, firmly swung the pendulum in favour of easing policy next month." "At the margin, the minutes of the July 29-30 FOMC meeting (Wed) could fill in some blanks about how dug in the doves were and how intransigent the inflation hawks might've been in late July," Ed Yardeni, the president of Yardeni Research, wrote over the weekend. Retail earnings Investors are also waiting on a slew of earnings reports from major retailers this week. Here are the companies on deck to report their second-quarter results: Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Home Depot (HD) TJX Companies (TJX) Lowe's (LOW) Target (TGT) Walmart (WMT) BJ Wholesale Club (BJ) The coming reports will give investors a glimpse into how the US consumer is faring. Weak earnings are likely to fan concerns about economic growth and raise expectations for a Fed rate cut next month. Markets are looking at the coming earnings reports as "key signposts" this week, top economist David Rosenberg said. "In terms of the mood of the US consumer, it is none too good (and as we saw in Friday's retail sale report, there is a trend in place towards dining in over dining out which is a sure sign of consumer frugality," the Rosenberg Research founder wrote in a note. Jackson Hole All eyes will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Friday. The central bank chief is set to speak at the Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium, where he's expected to set the agenda for future rate cuts. Markets are also eager to see if the Fed Chair comments on the independence of the central bank. President Donald Trump has continued to pressure Powell to lower interest rates, and is narrowing his list of potential Fed candidates. The speech could "well be a market-mover" this week, Rosenberg added. "One hawkish surprise could come from any commentary about how the weakness in the labor market of late has come largely from the supply side, and the 'break-even' for job growth to keep the unemployment rate steady is far lower than it used to be," Rosenberg wrote. "We expect the Federal Reserve to use Jackson Hole as an opportunity to prepare the markets and signal towards a 25 basis point cut in September and a potentially accommodating stance through year-end. Since this will be Powell's last Jackson Hole conference as Fed Chair, he'll likely reinforce the need for Fed independence from the Executive Branch," Richard Saperstein, the chief investment office of Treasury Partners, wrote in a note. Stocks could see some selling pressure once Powell speaks on Friday, strategists at Bank of America wrote in a note last week. "Dovish Powell at Jackson Hole = buy rumor, sell fact profit-taking," a team led by Michael Hartnett said. Read the original article on Business Insider

Waldencast Announces Strong Progress on Business Priorities for H1 2025 and Initiatives to Drive Transformation

Obagi Medical delivers H1 2025 double-digit growth in its Core Strategic Channels. Novaestiq Acquisition Doubles the Brand's Addressable Market in the U.S. Milk Makeup Delivers Strong Retail Sales Performance in U.S. Retail in H1 2025 and Expands Its Digital Footprint in Q2 Company Launches an Exploration of Strategic Alternatives to Enhance Shareholder Value Company Postpones H1 2025 Earnings Release and Conference Call; Provides Update to FY 2025 Guidance LONDON, Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waldencast plc (NASDAQ: WALD) ('Waldencast' or the 'Company'), a global multi-brand beauty and wellness platform, today provided a business update for H1 2025 results. 'Our brands saw accelerating revenue growth in the second quarter and we delivered significant progress against our strategic priorities while making important investments to support our future, thus capping off a highly productive first half for the Company,' said Michel Brousset, Co-Founder and CEO of Waldencast plc. 'In Q2, we resumed revenue growth, as we cycled the anniversary of last year's exceptionally strong launches that weighed on Q1 comparisons. Milk Makeup sell-out performance in the U.S. accelerated to the high-20s, through the roll-out at Ulta Beauty and the launch in Amazon Premium Beauty, while continuing to deliver blockbuster innovations like Hydro Grip Gel Skin Tint and Balmade Electrolyte Lip Balm. This strong performance domestically was dampened by challenges in international markets where consumption was soft and we saw continued destocking by key retailers. Obagi Medical's revenue growth in core strategic channels accelerated to mid-teens with continued performance in the U.S. strategic distribution channels, and even faster growth in international markets. A key highlight of our strategy is that Obagi Medical has achieved the leading position in unaided brand awareness within its competitive set.1 While these achievements demonstrate the strength of our brands and the power of our growth strategy, we continue to navigate a dynamic global environment that limited our overall growth. Challenges included ongoing, though improving, out-of-stocks across both brands, as well as our deliberate decision to exit select Obagi Medical distribution points that did not align with our brand ethos.' Mr. Brousset stated further: 'We are excited to start the third quarter with improved in-stock levels on both brands. On Milk Makeup, our best-selling Hydro Grip Gel Skin Tint is now back in stock and we continue to make notable progress through the expansion at Ulta Beauty and Amazon Premium Beauty. Tempering our excitement, at the beginning of the quarter, international markets remain challenging highlighting the need for in-market incremental investment to restore growth. At Obagi Medical, we are focused on fueling our momentum in strategic channels, while continuing to refine our distribution strategy by exiting non-equity building distribution points and investing in supply chain improvements to support future expansion. Most importantly, we are thrilled to reach a significant milestone with the completion of the acquisition of Novaestiq Corp. This marks our first step into the aesthetics space, as Novaestiq establishes our entry into the U.S. dermal filler market. Subject to obtaining relevant approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA'), this acquisition doubles Obagi Medical's addressable market potential in the U.S. and positions us uniquely as the first Mega-Brand in the combined medical-grade skincare and aesthetics industry, setting a strong foundation for future growth. In the context of a year of purposeful investment for the future, and against a backdrop of fluid market conditions, we are updating our full year outlook. We now expect Net Revenue growth in the low to mid-single digits, reflecting first-half performance and a more moderated industry environment. Adjusted EBITDA margins are now anticipated in the low to mid-teens. The relative resilience of profitability highlights the Company's strong operating discipline and ability to manage costs effectively, even as top-line expectations are revised.' Mr. Brousset concluded: 'We believe the actions we are taking will set us up to strengthen our foundation for delivering our long-term ambitions and accelerated future growth and profitability. In light of a growing number of opportunities presented to Waldencast and its shareholders, we have decided to undertake a review of a broad range of strategic alternatives focused on maximizing shareholder value. During this process, the Company remains fully focused on executing its business strategy and delivering on the evolving needs of the dynamic beauty market.' Strategic Review: Waldencast's Board of Directors has resolved to undertake a review of a broad range of strategic alternatives available to the Company focused on maximizing shareholder value. In connection with this strategic review, the Board has retained Lazard to serve as financial advisor to the Company. The Company does not intend to comment further on the status or timing of this process, unless or until the Board of Directors has approved a definitive course of action or if it is determined that other disclosure is appropriate. Given the broad nature of this review, there can be no assurance that this strategic review will result in the Company pursuing a transaction or any other particular outcome. H1 2025 Financial Results: The Company had previously announced its intention to publish results detailing its financial performance for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and the six-months ended June 30, 2025 ('H1 2025 Financials') after the U.S. stock market close on Monday, August 18th, 2025, followed by the Company's management team conference call and webcast to discuss its results on Tuesday, August 19th, 2025. In preparation for the strategic review and in light of the recent acquisition of Novaestiq, the company has developed a new long-range business plan which was approved by the Board of Directors in August. In consideration of this, management is conducting an expanded evaluation of its operating performance, strategic choices, long-term priorities, and goodwill valuation. This review, which reflects the Company's commitment to disciplined financial stewardship and value creation requires additional analysis of the H1 2025 Financials. The Company is working diligently to finalize this review and to complete and file the H1 2025 Financials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') within regulatory deadlines and hold the related earnings call as soon as practicable. As a result, the Company will reschedule the publication of the H1 2025 Financials and planned earnings call. Brand Performance: 2025 is an investment year for the Company's brands, even against the backdrop of market deceleration, with a clear focus on foundational growth initiatives and business transformation. These investments will enhance the Company's platform and sharpen execution, and together with the strength of its brands, position the Company to deliver sustainable, long-term value creation for all stakeholders. At Obagi Medical, investment priorities include the integration of Novaestiq, supply chain restructuring and technology infrastructure optimization, as well as marketing and overhead investments, particularly in international markets. At Milk Makeup, the Company is investing in a new international organization structure, capital investment in fixtures as part of its Ulta Beauty partnership, while supporting the launch of the Company's Amazon Premium Beauty presence. At the Group level, the Company is advancing its data and IT capabilities to unlock new growth opportunities while also strengthening compliance and control frameworks. Obagi Medical: Strong growth in core strategic channels moderated by decision to exit a number of non-strategic distribution points in order to set the foundation for profitable growth in the future. Revenue in the digital channels increased momentum, boosting revenue growth; while the physician-dispensed channel revenue accelerated in the quarter, as previous supply chain constraints began to improve in Q2. Obagi Medical delivered a strong first half, with revenue from U.S. core strategic channels achieving a combined high single-digit growth, coupled with international acceleration in Q2 in the mid-40s, following launches in the Middle East and the Nordics. The Company intentionally reduced exposure to non-equity-building distribution points. While this deliberate shift weighed on revenue and profitability in the short term, it sharpens focus on sustainable, long-term growth. In parallel, the supply chain restructuring began to yield results in Q2 and is expected to deliver further improvements in the second half and beyond. As the fastest-growing top-ten professional skincare brand in the U.S. in 20242, Obagi Medical is building on this momentum with unaided brand awareness now leading its medical-grade competitive set1, driven by the Company's direct-to-consumer engine and reinforced by its dermatological brand DNA. This strength underpinned the successful launch of the Retinol + PHA Refining Night Cream, a consumer-centric innovation that is already emerging as a top performer across both digital and physician-dispensed channels. The acquisition of Novaestiq, a growth-oriented aesthetic and medical dermatological innovations company, along with the U.S. rights to the Obagi Saypha®3 line of hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable gels, effectively doubles Obagi Medical's U.S. addressable market and represents the first step toward realizing the Company's vision of becoming the first dermatological Mega-Brand – uniquely serving all the demanding needs of physicians, patients, and consumers globally, and the first beauty brand to expand into aesthetics. Obagi Saypha®, currently undergoing FDA approval, is positioned to establish a physician-dispensed moat and unlock a synergistic go-to-market model that leverages the Company's existing scale, ultimately delivering a comprehensive clinic-to-home solution. Backed by advanced proprietary technology, robust clinical data, a reputation for quality and safety, global adoption, and a streamlined portfolio, Obagi Saypha® is poised to accelerate the expansion of the Company's aesthetics offering and reinforce Obagi Medical's leadership in the category. Milk Makeup: Q2 U.S. retail sales grew strongly to high-20s despite a challenging retail environment. Improved Hydro Grip Gel Skin Tint stock levels drove a strong quarter-end finish. International markets experienced a challenging performance and need for incremental investment which the Brand is starting to deploy in the second half of the year. The brand expanded its digital footprint following a successful launch with Amazon Premium Beauty. Milk Makeup delivered sequential revenue improvement versus Q1. U.S. Retail sales performance accelerated strongly to high-20s in Q2, with H1 finishing in the high teens, while international retail sales were impacted by retailer inventory reductions and a more U.S.-focused allocation of investment. In Q2, Milk Makeup expanded its digital presence with the launch of Amazon Premium Beauty. Growth was further fueled by the return of the sold-out blockbuster Hydro Grip Gel Skin Tint, already recognized with six awards, and by expanded distribution through Ulta Beauty at Target. The brand also extended its high-impact partnership with Nike, most recently with the Nike After Dark Tour, where it engaged 15,000 runners, and through the launch of the Nike Vomero Plus in Hyper Pink paired with a limited-edition Milk Makeup Balmade lip balm, sold exclusively at Dick's Sporting Goods. Milk Makeup's momentum was reinforced by 22 year-to-date product awards, underscoring the brand's innovation, cultural resonance, and ability to connect with consumers across multiple channels. Update to Fiscal 2025 Outlook: In the context of a year of purposeful investment for the future, and against a backdrop of fluid market conditions, the Company is updating its full year outlook. The Company now expects Net Revenue growth in the low to mid-single digits, reflecting first-half performance and a more moderated industry environment. Adjusted EBITDA margins are now anticipated in the low to mid-teens. The relative resilience of profitability highlights the Company's strong operating discipline and ability to manage costs effectively, even as top-line expectations are revised. 1 Google's AdMob, sample: 6,280 women surveyed via AdMob from 7/1–7/3. 2 Among the Top 10 Professional Skin Care Brands in the U.S., according to Kline's 2024 Global Professional Skin Care Series (China, Europe and the U.S.). 3 Saypha® products are not approved medical devices, and each product has a premarket approval (PMA) application under review by the FDA.

S&P 500 Gains and Losses Today: Solar Stocks Surge; Intel Slides After Recent Rally

Key Takeaways The S&P 500 was little changed Monday, Aug. 18, 2025, ahead of results from major retailers set for release this week and a key speech by the Federal Reserve chair Friday. Shares of HR software provider Dayforce surged following reports that a private equity firm was evaluating a potential buyout. Intel shares slipped, bringing their recent rally to a halt as more details emerged about the U.S. government's interest in acquiring a stake in the chipmaker. Major U.S. equities indexes were little changed Monday ahead of key retail sector earnings reports and comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell expected later in the week. The S&P 500 and the Dow ended Monday's session fractionally lower, while the Nasdaq eked out a 0.03% gain. All three finished the session just short of record highs. Dayforce (DAY) shares skyrocketed 26%, securing the S&P 500's top performance on Monday, following reports that private equity firm Thoma Bravo is discussing a potential buyout of the human resources software provider. A deal could within the next few weeks, according to Bloomberg. First Solar (FSLR) shares jumped 9.7%. Other solar Solar stocks also surged, after the U.S. Treasury Department issued guidance on the types of projects that can qualify for clean energy tax credits. Although the latest guidelines limit eligible projects, analysts suggested the new rules are less restrictive than investors previously feared. Shares of The Trade Desk (TTD) rose 5.4%, extending Friday's gains after the provider of tools to help advertisers optimize their digital campaigns stressed the strength of its partnership with Walmart. Reports that the retail giant had ended an exclusive arrangement with The Trade Desk had added to concerns surrounding the stock, which tumbled earlier this month after the company warned tariffs are limiting big ad spending. EQT Corp. (EQT) shares dropped 4.4%, falling the most of any stock in the S&P 500, after Roth Capital downgraded the stock and three of its peers in the natural gas business to "neutral" from "buy." Analysts voiced concerns an oversupply of natural gas could pressure prices and hurt EQT's results. Roth Capital maintained a "buy" rating on Coterra Energy (CTRA) but reduced its price target on the stock, and Coterra shares slipped 3.3%. Intel (INTC) shares lost 3.7%, halting their recent rally amid speculation it could win more government support as more details emerged about the talks. Bloomberg reported Monday that the Trump administration is considering taking a 10% stake, and converting some or all of the company's CHIPS Act grants into equity. Shares of videogame maker Electronic Arts (EA) slid 3.2% on Monday. Since notching a record high last week, bolstered by optimism surrounding its upcoming title Battlefield 6, EA stock has been trending lower. Analysts have expressed concerns about the lofty expectations for Battlefield 6 as well as challenges facing the company's American Football franchise.
