Crocs (NasdaqGS:CROX) Sees 5% Dip In One Month After Executive Resignation Announcement
In recent developments, Crocs announced the resignation of Adam Michaels, its Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer, effective May 2025. This leadership change coincides with a 5% decline in Crocs's share price over the last month, a period that also saw significant market turmoil driven by new global tariffs, with major indices experiencing considerable drops. The Dow Jones, for example, fell by roughly 4% amid growing fears of a trade war, dragging down broader market sentiment. These market conditions, coupled with Crocs's internal leadership changes, contributed to the company's recent stock performance.

The past five years have seen Crocs deliver a very large total return of 360.51%. This substantial growth was fueled by the company's strategic international expansion and innovative product offerings. Crocs ventured into less-penetrated markets like China and India, aiming to diversify its market base and boost revenue despite tariff challenges. Enhancements to their product lines, including new iterations like the Classic Clog, have aimed to tap into new customer demographics and increase brand engagement.
Additionally, Crocs has actively repurchased shares, expanding their buyback program by US$1 billion to support shareholder value enhancement. On the product development front, ventures such as launching 'Pet Crocs' have kept the brand fresh and relevant. Despite this progress, Crocs underperformed compared to the US Luxury industry, which experienced a 24.2% decline over the past year, highlighting persistent challenges in maintaining growth momentum in a complex market landscape.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq drift higher, dollar slides amid renewed tariff threats
US stocks moved higher on Thursday as President Trump again urged the Fed for a jumbo rate cut amid easing inflation pressures despite renewing "take it or leave it" tariff threats on trading partners. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose over 0.2%, as component Boeing (BA) slid in the wake of a deadly plane crash in India. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) gained almost 0.4%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also rose around 0.2% as Oracle (ORCL) led tech names with a 13% surge. Trump reiterated his call for a jumbo rate cut from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, saying it was needed to decrease the cost of short-term debt. Trump said he told Powell in his office that if inflation rises, he can raise rates again. "If it's going to go up, I'm OK with you raising — but it's down, and we're going out to financing, and I may have to force something," Trump said. He reiterated that he would not fire Powell. Meanwhile, the US dollar ( sank to its lowest level in three years amid the tariff threats and as fresh price data showed a so-far mild impact from Trump's tariff policies. Wholesale inflation increased less than economists expected, one day after its consumer counterpart showed an easing in price pressures. Further hints that tariffs are sparing inflation could put the Federal Reserve in a tight spot ahead of its policy meeting next week. Bets on interest rate cuts this year have mounted, but analysts expect officials to maintain their wait-and-see approach to economic data and policy decisions, with September seen as the most likely spot to resume rate cuts. While investor focus is shifting back to the Fed, Wall Street is still closely following the latest twists and turns in Trump's tariff policy in the hunt for clarity.

But Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Congress it's "highly likely" that countries in trade negotiations with the US will see an extension of the 90-day tariff pause, currently set to expire July 9. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is almost all the way back. The benchmark index rose nearly 0.4% on Thursday. This pushed the S&P 500 to its highest closing level since February 20, which was just one day after the benchmark index most recently set a new record closing level. The US government sold $22 billion worth of 30-year bonds on Wednesday, a sign of solid demand at a time when investors have been on edge over the recent spike in long-term yields. The final yield, or interest rate, on the bonds came in at 4.84%, slightly below where the market was trading ahead of the auction. That's typically seen as a sign of strong demand, according to Citi. Investors placed bids totaling 2.43 times the amount available, a solid showing and above the recent average, the bank said. As for who bought the bonds, Citi noted the following: Yahoo Finance's Dan Howley reports: Read more here. Yahoo Finance's David Hollerith reports: Read more here. Chime stock opened at $43 per share during the digital bank's public debut on the Nasdaq on Thursday. The stock soared roughly 50% in the minutes after the company began trading under the ticker symbol CHYM. Chime raised $864 million in its IPO, and priced shares at $27 each for a valuation of $11.6 billion. Chime's entrance in the public markets has been viewed as another indicator that the IPO market is thawing after a freeze due to tariff-induced uncertainty. Other recent go-publics, like stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) and Nvidia-backed CoreWeave (CRWV), saw massive rallies after their IPOs. Yahoo Finance's Claire Boston reports: Read more here. President Trump had a few words to say about Tesla (TSLA) and its CEO, Elon Musk, on Thursday, at the signing of congressional resolutions targeting California's regulations on the adoption of electric vehicles. Trump touted that his administration abolished the federal government's EV initiative shortly after taking office. "Now we know why Elon doesn't like me so much — which he does actually, he does," Trump said. The president said he once asked Musk why he was backing him if he knew his administration would abolish EV mandates in the US. "He said, 'Well, as long as it's happening to everybody, I'll be able to compete,'" said Trump. "After that, he got a little strange." Musk has been Trump's biggest backer until the two recently had a very public fallout. "We officially rescue the US auto industry from destruction by terminating to California electric vehicle mandate once and for all," Trump said. California's initiative, which included the phase-out of gas-powered cars by 2025, was adopted by a series of other states. "They passed these crazy rules in California," Trump said, indicating 17 other states followed California. "The automakers didn't know what to do because they're really building cars for two countries," Trump added. The president said that under the previous regime, car prices skyrocketed because of the mandates, also putting pressure on the power grid. He said drivers can still get any car they want. "A lot of people love electric cars," Trump said. "They like Tesla. In all fairness, I like Tesla, ... but I also love combustion engines." President Trump reiterated his call for a jumbo rate cut from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The president spoke at the signing of a resolution targeting California's plan to phase out gas-powered vehicles by 2035. Trump urged Powell to cut rates by 1 percentage point to lower the cost of short-term debt, an ask he's made before. "All he has to do is lower it," Trump said. At one point, Trump referred to Powell as a "numbskull". The president reiterated he won't fire Powell, even though he disagrees with his policy and inflation hasn't been trending higher. "I'm not going to fire him," Trump said, adding that Powell was in his office "a couple of days ago." "I told him ... cut your rates now," Trump continued. "Let's say there was inflation a year from now, raise your rates — I don't mind.""I'm OK with you raising — but it's down, and we're going out to financing, and I may have to force something," Trump said. Shares of German biopharmaceutical CureVac (CVAC) soared roughly 39% after its domestic rival BioNTech (BNTX) announced it would acquire the company in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $1.25 billion. The acquisition is aimed at strengthening BioNTech's development of mRNA-based cancer therapies. The US dollar ( sank to its lowest level in three years after the Producer Price Index came in below expectations, showing a milder than expected impact from shifting US trade policy. The dollar against a basket of currencies hovered below 98, its lowest level since 2022. Year to date, the index is down more than 9%. Investors sold greenbacks as tensions between Iran and Israel escalated and Trump renewed tariff threats against US trading partners. US wholesale prices rose modestly last month, a sign that inflationary pressures remain contained. Wednesday's CPI report also pointed to contained inflation, increasing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton reports: Read more here. Oracle (ORCL) shares jumped 10% early Thursday after the company's fiscal fourth quarter results topped Wall Street's expectations. Oracle's adjusted revenue of $15.9 billion was ahead of the projected $15.6 billion, while its earnings per share of $1.70 surpassed the expected $1.64. The company raised its annual revenue forecast, as it expects strong demand for its AI-related cloud services. "What is clear is that more customers will use the Oracle database to leverage AI," CEO Safra Ada Catz told analysts in a call after the market close Wednesday. "It's been a long wait for people who own the stock because ... they [Oracle] missed the last two quarters, both on the top and the bottom line, despite the fact that they were booking an enormous amount of business," Citizens head of technology equity research Pat Walravens told Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman on Market Domination Overtime. Analysts at UBS, Cantor Fitzgerald, Deutsche Bank, KeyBanc, and Melius Research raised their price targets on the stock to as high as $240 on Thursday. US stocks pulled back on Thursday as President Trump renewed his threat to impose "take it or leave it" tariffs on trading partners, while Boeing (BA) shares sank in the wake of a deadly crash in India. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell roughly 0.4%, with component Boeing slumping after the crash of an Air India flight involving a Dreamliner jet. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped 0.3%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also moved 0.3% lower. US trading partners will get letters soon within a week or two that will set their unilateral tariff rates, Trump reiterated on Wednesday. Weekly claims for unemployment benefits remained at their highest level in eight months during the first full week of June while the number of Americans filing for unemployment insurance on an ongoing basis reached the highest level since November 2021 as the US labor market continues to show signs of slowing. Data from the Department of Labor released Thursday morning showed 248,000 initial jobless claims were filed in the week ending June 7, flat from the week prior and above economists' expectations for 242,000. Meanwhile, 1.956 million continuing claims were filed, up from 1.902 million the week prior and the highest level seen since November 2021. Economists see an increase in continuing claims as a sign that those out of work are taking longer to find new jobs. Chime is set to debut on the Nasdaq later today under the ticker symbol CHYM.

As my colleague Josh Schafer wrote yesterday, the largest tech stocks are once again leading the market higher, and that enthusiasm has trickled down to newly issued public offerings.

Boeing stock fell on Thursday by 8% in premarket trading after an Air India aircraft carrying over 200 people crashed minutes after taking off from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad. Aviation tracking site Flightradar24 said the plane was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, one of the most modern passenger aircraft in service. Air India confirmed the plane, which was headed to Gatwick Airport in the UK, crashed in a civilian area near the airport, but has not specified if there are any fatalities. It is still not clear what caused the crash. According to Reuters, Boeing confirmed it was aware of the crash and was working to gather more information. The news comes as the planemaker is trying to rebuild trust relating to the safety of its jets and increase production under new Chief Executive Officer Kelly Orthberg.

Trump says 'changes' are coming to immigration enforcement after complaints from farmers and the hospitality industry
There may be some changes coming to the Trump administration's approach to immigration enforcement. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday that both farmers and "people in the Hotel and Leisure business" have said that his approach to immigration enforcement "is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace." "In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs," Trump added. "This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!" At a White House event later on Thursday, he said that "we're going to have an order on that pretty soon, I think." "We can't do that to our farmers," Trump said. "We're going to have to use a lot of common sense." It comes one day after Tom Homan, the Executive Associate Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations, told Semafor that the administration would begin prosecuting companies that employ immigrants living in the country illegally. According to Census data, the agriculture and leisure industries have relatively high proportions of non-US citizen workers.
