CNBC reported that the primary catalyst for this growth is a pull-forward of consumer spending to get ahead of increased good prices brought about by tariffs. It also reported that Freedom Capital Markets chief global strategist Jay Woods opined that retail stocks could undergo a short-term bounce if the retail sales report were in line or better than expected. He said:
'Some of these names have gotten way too far ahead of themselves on the downside that bounces are natural. They've gotten beaten down and mean reversion could lead to a nice rally over the coming days.'
Callie Cox, chief market strategist of Ritholtz Wealth Management, expressed similar sentiments, saying a strong retail sales report could potentially lead to a rise in consumer discretionary stocks.
'Consumer Discretionary stocks have been hit so hard that they may be more susceptible to a relief rally on the back of a retail sales report that doesn't show the economy is falling apart,' said Cox.

As Google AI Takes Over Search, News Sites Lose Clicks and Cut Jobs
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) is drawing criticism from media executives who say its growing use of artificial intelligence is reducing traffic to news outlets, forcing them to rethink their digital strategies and slash jobs. According to a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday, publishers are reporting major declines in referral traffic as Google's AI Overviews and chatbot features increasingly serve answers directly to users eliminating the need to click on search results. The shift from a search engine to an answer engine is real, said The Atlantic's CEO Nicholas Thompson, who added that media companies now have to explore new approaches to stay relevant. Data from analytics firm Similarweb, cited in the report, shows steep drops in organic search traffic across major publishers: HuffPost's desktop and mobile traffic more than halved in the past three years. The Washington Post saw nearly the same level of decline. Business Insider reported a 55% drop and recently laid off 21% of its workforce. The New York Times saw its share of organic search traffic shrink to 36.5% in April 2025, down from almost 44% in 2022. Although The Wall Street Journal's search traffic rose in raw numbers, its share of total traffic dipped to 24% from 29% over the same period. WaPo CEO William Lewis warned that click-free search answers represent a serious threat to journalism. Beyond news, Google's AI tools have also dented traffic to travel guides, health information, and product review pages. The report notes that Google's upcoming AI Mode could hit even harder.

Here's Why LifeVantage (NASDAQ:LFVN) Has Caught The Eye Of Investors
For beginners, it can seem like a good idea (and an exciting prospect) to buy a company that tells a good story to investors, even if it currently lacks a track record of revenue and profit. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. Loss making companies can act like a sponge for capital - so investors should be cautious that they're not throwing good money after bad. In contrast to all that, many investors prefer to focus on companies like LifeVantage (NASDAQ:LFVN), which has not only revenues, but also profits. Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Even modest earnings per share growth (EPS) can create meaningful value, when it is sustained reliably from year to year. So it's easy to see why many investors focus in on EPS growth. Impressively, LifeVantage's EPS catapulted from US$0.29 to US$0.73, over the last year. It's not often a company can achieve year-on-year growth of 154%. One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. The good news is that LifeVantage is growing revenues, and EBIT margins improved by 4.1 percentage points to 5.8%, over the last year. Both of which are great metrics to check off for potential growth. You can take a look at the company's revenue and earnings growth trend, in the chart below. For finer detail, click on the image. See our latest analysis for LifeVantage In investing, as in life, the future matters more than the past. So why not check out this free interactive visualization of LifeVantage's forecast profits? It's pleasing to see company leaders with putting their money on the line, so to speak, because it increases alignment of incentives between the people running the business, and its true owners. Shareholders will be pleased by the fact that insiders own LifeVantage shares worth a considerable sum. To be specific, they have US$30m worth of shares. This considerable investment should help drive long-term value in the business. That amounts to 19% of the company, demonstrating a degree of high-level alignment with shareholders. LifeVantage's earnings have taken off in quite an impressive fashion. That sort of growth is nothing short of eye-catching, and the large investment held by insiders should certainly brighten the view of the company. The hope is, of course, that the strong growth marks a fundamental improvement in the business economics. So based on this quick analysis, we do think it's worth considering LifeVantage for a spot on your watchlist. Of course, just because LifeVantage is growing does not mean it is undervalued. If you're wondering about the valuation, check out this gauge of its price-to-earnings ratio, as compared to its industry. Although LifeVantage certainly looks good, it may appeal to more investors if insiders were buying up shares. If you like to see companies with more skin in the game, then check out this handpicked selection of companies that not only boast of strong growth but have strong insider backing.
