Why CACI (CACI) Stock Is Down Today
What Happened? Shares of defense, intelligence, and IT solutions provider CACI International (NYSE:CACI) fell 3.6% in the morning session after Jefferies downgraded the stock to 'Hold' from 'Buy' and cut its price target, citing concerns over slowing growth. The investment firm pointed to concerns about the defense contractor's future growth. Jefferies noted that CACI's projected growth for fiscal year 2026 decelerated to an expected 4-6%, down from the 9% organic growth anticipated for fiscal year 2025. The firm also cited "moderate contract risk" tied to the company's Enterprise IT as a Service (EITaaS) offerings as a contributing factor. The analyst lowered the price target on the shares to $535 from $570. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy CACI? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us CACI's shares are not very volatile and have only had 8 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 29 days ago when the stock dropped 3% on the news that an analyst at Raymond James downgraded the stock to "Market Perform" from "Outperform.". The downgrade from a prominent Wall Street firm suggests a more neutral outlook on the government IT contractor's future performance. According to the analyst, CACI's strong focus on national security, which accounts for about 94% of its sales, coupled with solid execution, has driven the stock's price up to the firm's previous target. The downgrade reflects the view that after a significant run-up in share price, the stock is "due for a pause." Since Raymond James' last upgrade in January, CACI shares have surged approximately 25%, substantially outpacing the S&P 500's 6% gain over the same period. This change in rating indicates that while the company's fundamentals remain strong, its valuation may now fully reflect its near-term prospects. CACI is up 15.3% since the beginning of the year, but at $473.71 per share, it is still trading 17.2% below its 52-week high of $572.44 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of CACI's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,295.

Wayfair posts first quarterly profit in 4 years
This story was originally published on Retail Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Retail Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Wayfair on Monday swung into the black, posting its first quarterly profit since the second quarter of 2021. The online home furnishings company reported a Q2 net income of $15 million, up from a loss of $42 million last year, and an operating income of $17 million, from a loss of $35 million a year ago. The retailer's net revenue grew 5% year over year to $3.3 billion. Excluding the impact from its exit from the German market, Wayfair's net revenue increased 6%. U.S. revenues grew 5.3%, while international revenues were up 3.1%. The company's active customer base, however, declined 4.5% from the year-ago period. Orders per customer grew slightly, from 1.85 to 1.86. Dive Insight: CEO Niraj Shah declared Wayfair's second quarter 'a resounding success,' noting that the period 'was a nice proof point of the journey that we've been on and even more exciting of what is to come.' The home retailer turned a quarterly profit for the first time in four years, even as the broader home market remains challenged. Jefferies analysts led by Jonathan Matuszewski highlighted Wayfair's potential 'that stronger sales could unlock substantially-higher margins.' 'Imagine what's ahead when housing cooperates,' Matuszewski said in a Monday note. While retailers in the home sector have experienced lower demand in recent years, some retailers saw a lift more recently as consumers pulled purchases forward as fears of tariffs — and potential price increases — loomed. But Wayfair hasn't experienced noticeable changes in its customers' buying habits, executives said Monday, and Shah touted the company's marketplace model, which has allowed its prices to remain largely unchanged. 'The marketplace forces of our inventory-light model give us unmatched flexibility. … The benefits of this model continue to prove self-evident despite the various ebbs and flows of the broad business environment,' he said, adding that prices across the items consumers are currently purchasing are relatively consistent with those from the previous quarter. 'The momentum feels to us, driven by the structural business initiatives, not by any one-time events, any unique pull forward, anything like that. And that momentum is continuing,' CFO Kate Gulliver said on Monday's call with analysts. Wayfair in recent months has launched a number of initiatives, including its Wayfair Verified tool and paid loyalty program. The company has also been steadily building out its brick-and-mortar footprint across its various banners. Wayfair's first large-format store — which opened just over a year ago in Wilmette, Illinois, outside of Chicago — has helped drive purchases in less-frequented categories for the retailer. The company said it has seen a 50% increase in lower-ticket items like kitchen accessories purchases and a more than 35% increase in home improvement purchases, including bathroom renovation items and kitchen cabinets. Wayfair has plans to expand its large-format concept to Denver, Atlanta and Yonkers, New York.

Bitcoin Just Beat Amazon. Is Apple Next?
On July 14, Bitcoin officially became more valuable than Amazon (AMZN). Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. After jumping nearly 13% in just a week, the world's most famous cryptocurrency crossed $122,600 and hit a market cap of roughly $2.4 trillion. That pushed it ahead of Amazon's estimated $2.3 trillion valuation, making Bitcoin one of the five most valuable assets on Earth. Not bad for a digital token some still call 'fake internet money.' Bitcoin ETFs Fueled the Surge The move wasn't driven by hype alone. A record wave of inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs played a huge role. In two back-to-back trading days, U.S.-listed Bitcoin funds pulled in over $1 billion each, the strongest streak since they launched in early 2024. These ETFs have become the gateway for traditional investors, from hedge funds to pension managers, to get exposure to Bitcoin without touching crypto wallets or exchanges. BlackRock's fund (IBIT) alone now holds more than $80 billion worth of BTC. Washington Cleared the Way But it wasn't just the money pouring in. Policy momentum has finally turned in Bitcoin's favor. In July, Washington held what's now being called 'Crypto Week' — a slate of pro-crypto legislation that included clearer rules, protections for digital asset investors, and a much-needed signal from lawmakers: crypto isn't going away. That rare bipartisan alignment gave institutions the green light to step in more aggressively. Trump Helped Bitcoin's Ascent Then there's the broader backdrop. The Trump administration has leaned crypto-friendly, the dollar has been weakening, and many investors are looking for alternatives to centralized finance. Bitcoin, with its hard cap of 21 million coins and borderless design, is looking more attractive. It's become a structural piece of the new financial system. Bitcoin Behaves Like a Big Tech Stock And that's probably the most important shift underway. Bitcoin isn't being treated like a fringe asset anymore. It's moving in sync with tech stocks and showing up in institutional portfolios. One study earlier this year found that Bitcoin's correlation with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 reached 0.87 — higher than it's ever been. Essentially, Bitcoin is a risk asset being priced in alongside the biggest names in tech. Bitcoin's Scale Is Massive Of course, the narrative is about more than just movement. It's about magnitude. Bitcoin's price in 2010 was about ten cents. Fifteen years later, it hit a record high of $122,000. That's a 1.2 million percent return. There's no other asset in modern financial history with a trajectory like that. What started as a cypherpunk experiment is now being compared to Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) in size. A big reason behind that rise is scarcity. Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap is hard-coded. No CEO, no central bank, no stimulus committee can inflate it. That scarcity mirrors gold; but unlike gold, Bitcoin is digital, transparent and liquid around the clock. It's become a hedge, a reserve, and for many companies, a treasury asset. And companies are buying. As of this year, more than 265 private and public firms hold Bitcoin, accounting for about 4% of total supply. Bitcoin ETFs, collectively, hold around 6.6%. These are not niche allocations anymore. They're foundational bets on where the financial world is headed. Bitcoin Could Be Gunning for Apple Next To do that, it would need to jump another 15%–35%, depending on which company you're measuring against. That would push Bitcoin's market cap toward the $3 trillion range. And based on some of the current momentum, analysts are warming to that possibility. Several institutional forecasts now place Bitcoin above $140,000 by the end of the year, with some pointing toward $180,000–$200,000 if ETF demand holds strong. That's the bull case. But getting there isn't guaranteed. If ETF inflows slow, or if U.S. policy changes up once again, Bitcoin could lose steam. Its price is still sensitive to interest rate moves and macro conditions. And for all its mainstream progress, the asset remains volatile in both directions. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is sitting at $114,086.66.
