Stock Movers: Dell, Gap, Red Robin
On this episode of Stock Movers: - Dell Technologies (DELL) is higher this morning after reporting a profit outlook for the year that beat analysts' estimates. The company reported a significant increase in orders for servers to run AI networks, with $12.1 billion in AI orders in the quarter ended May 2, surpassing the entirety of shipments in all of FY25. Dell expects profitability to improve in its computer and servers-and-storage businesses, and has accelerated share repurchases, which will boost profit on a per-share basis. - Gap (GPS) is sinking on a tariff warning. The company predicted a tariff impact of up to $300 million and revealed weakness at Banana Republic and Athleta. Gap warned of a $250 million to $300 million hit from tariffs, but kept its guidance stable and said it has strategies to mitigate more than half of that cost. - Costco (COST) shares nudged higher after the bell Thursday after the big-box retailer posted third quarter earnings per share that beat the average analyst estimate. The company is working well to soften tariff exposure and can gain further market share moving forward, according to some analysts. - Red Robin (RRGB) shares are soaring this morning after the burger chain reported adjusted earnings per share of 19c for the first quarter, whereas analysts were expecting a loss of 51c per share. The company also reaffirmed its adjusted Ebitda guidance for the full year.

Grupo Firme Cancel La Onda Performance in Napa Amid U.S. Visa Issues
Grupo Firme will no longer be performing at 2025's La Onda Fest this weekend in Napa due to ongoing visa issues. The Mexican band announced the news in a statement shared to Instagram Stories on Friday evening. 'Grupo Firme and Música VIP's visas are currently in an administrative process at the U.S. embassy, a situation that makes it impossible for Grupo Firme's performance at La Onda Fest to go on as planned,' wrote the band. 'We will share news soon on our return to the U.S. so we can see each other again and sing, dance, and celebrate together.' More from Rolling Stone Shakira Cancels WorldPride Concert Due to 'Complications' With Previous Boston Show Shakira Concert at Boston's Fenway Park Canceled Just Hours Before Showtime Grupo Firme Level Up With Anticipated Album 'Evolucion' The group was set to headline Sunday's lineup at La Onda, which embraces a wide range of genres, from Spanish rock and reggaetón to mariachi and Latin pop. The festival organizers announced that Tito Double P will replace Grupo Firme's appearance on the Verizon Stage. The cancellation arrives roughly two weeks after the Michelada Festival nixed its 2025 event over the escalating volatility around artist visas, which rang the alarm for several other Latin artists scheduled to perform around the country. Along with Grupo Firme, the Michelada fest lineup included Luis R. Conriquez, Los Alegres Del Barranco, and Netón Vega. After Los Alegres' visas were revoked by the State Department over their portrayal of a cartel kingpin at a show in Mexico and the group was replaced by Gabito Ballesteros, event organizers ended up cancelling the fest altogether amid uncertainty around visa statuses for both Ballesteros and Conriquez. Since taking office, President Donald Trump and his administration have made securing work visas incredibly difficult for international artists.

Manchester City are in the FIFA Club World Cup to win it
It is now under three weeks before Manchester City's FIFA Club World Cup campaign begins. Pep Guardiola's side will take on Wydad in their opening fixture of FIFA's expanded tournament. The tournament represents the latest mountain for Manchester City to conquer. Listening to Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak speak, Manchester City's goal is to win the tournament. The merits of yet another tournament being added to the football calendar can be debated. But if Pep Guardiola's side can emerge victorious in the United States, it may be the ideal setting to kickstart Manchester City's next era of dominance. Manchester City's goal is to win the inaugural expanded FIFA Club World Cup. Speaking with Chris Bailey in his annual end-of-season interview for the Manchester City chairman outlined his club's goals at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Speaking on the upcoming tournament, Khaldoon Al-Mubarak said: 'This is a very, very serious competition. In the summer, the whole world will be watching this. A big number of the top teams in the world will be competing in this tournament. And I can assure you, we're going to give it our best shot. We're going in there to win it.' Advertisement 'We're going to go and try to win this tournament. This is the beginning of the new season, not the continuation of last season. You know, we take some rest. The team will take the rest that they will take right now, and then they start pre-season and then immediately straight into the into the Club World Cup.' A successful Club World Cup can kickstart the 25/26 season for Manchester City. The debate and merits of adding even more fixtures to the ever-growing football calendar can be debated forever and a day. But what the upcoming tournament in the United States represents for Manchester City is a new beginning. An era ended at the club at the end of the 24/25 season. There is no other way to describe Pep Guardiola's side's results this season. That's what has happened and the page has now be turned on that particular chapter. But the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup could represent the beginning of something new. If Manchester City can complete the majority of their summer transfer business ahead of the tournament they will enter the competition with a new look squad. It may be the ideal environment to integrate new signings into the fold at Manchester City. If Pep Guardiola's side can leave the United States as world champions they will enter the 25/26 season full of confidence and belief. That is the upside of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement The FIFA Club World Cup is an unknown of sorts. No one knows how or what effect the competition will have on the participating clubs. Furthermore, no one knows how the tournament will play out or unfold. Mark Brus has compiled a detailed report for CaughtOffside on when and how the Club World Cup is scheduled to take place. But the tournament could represent a new beginning for Manchester City. That's an exciting proposition for any and everyone associated with the club ahead of the tournament. If Manchester City leave the United States as world champions they could set up their next era of dominance. That's the goal of Manchester City's chairman and it is achievable for the club.

Out Of Touch Or On A Mission? Patrick's Anti-THC Rant
In a press conference held this week, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick continued to staunchly defend Senate Bill 3 (SB 3), legislation aimed at banning all consumable THC products in the state. Patrick spoke to a room full of reporters about the bill's intent to protect the overall health of Texans, particularly for minors in the Lone Star State, by cutting all access to THC products that have continued to grow in popularity since the state-wide legalization of hemp in 2019. On a city-wide level, as previously covered by The Dallas Express, Dallas voters passed Proposition R in November of last year, making possession of under 4 ounces of marijuana the 'lowest priority' for local law enforcement. However, both efforts have continued to receive pushback from Patrick and other leaders like Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton's office has even sued a handful of municipalities for approving the relaxed laws on marijuana enforcement. 'This unconstitutional action by municipalities demonstrates why Texas must have a law to 'follow the law.' It's quite simple: the legislature passes every law after a full debate on the issues, and we don't allow cities the ability to create anarchy by picking and choosing the laws they enforce,' Paxton said in a press release published last year. SB 3, which has passed both legislative chambers, now seeks to ban all forms of THC, including Delta-8 and Delta-9 variants, currently sold regularly in gas stations and 'smoke shops,' while exempting 'non-intoxicating' cannabinoids like CBD and CBG. However, some details surrounding the bill seem to remain a bit cloudy. The bill will also allegedly allow for the state to maintain and continue running its Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Program, allowing limited medical use of low-THC cannabis products. However, Patrick has not yet clarified if the bill will impact the application process for the program. Critics argue that the ban could have significant economic repercussions, as previously reported by The Dallas Express, potentially dismantling Texas's $8 billion hemp industry and cutting off nearly 50,000 jobs. 'If this ban is passed, it would criminalize both consumers as well as sellers/distributors. Businesses in Texas would have to stop selling these products altogether, which would likely result in a lot of businesses closing up shop altogether,' Ben Michael, an attorney at Michael & Associates, previously told DX. 'This would also likely mean that larger companies based in other states would be limited with where or who they could sell to, leading to potential legal battles. Consumers in Texas could also face fines or charges for buying these products, even if they are for medical purposes, because it seems as though the ban essentially has no exceptions,' Michael added. Yet, Patrick seems deadset on pushing the ban forward. 'We cannot in good conscience leave Austin without banning THC, which is harming our children, and destroying Texans' lives and families,' The Texas Lieutenant General declared via X. Governor Greg Abbott has yet to say whether he will sign SB 3 into law. If enacted, the ban will take effect in September of this year.
