Nike's $900 Workout Shoes With Compression and Heating Launch Next Week
The warm-up compression shoes Nike and Hyperice showed off at CES 2025 were not simply a concept. The Hyperboot will be available to buy online in North America in just a week, at a cost of $899.
The high-tops, which Nike and Hyperice say are a wearable much like your smartwatch, help your feet warm up before and recover after a workout. The footwear, available May 17, does this with heating and air-compression massage technology right there in your shoes, taking the idea of heating pads and compression socks and making them mobile.
CNET former mobile senior writer Lisa Eadicicco had a chance to try these shoes on in January. "You can definitely feel the heat in here," Eadicicco said at the time as she walked across a demo room in Las Vegas wearing the fancy footwear.
The boots massage and compress your ankles and feet, and in CNET's test, we could especially feel the heat around the ankles. Buttons on the shoes let you adjust compression and the amount of heat with multiple settings for each.

"The Hyperboot contains a system of dual-air bladders that deliver sequential compression patterns and are bonded to thermally efficient heating elements that evenly distribute heat throughout the shoe's entire upper," Nike said.
The battery lasts for 1 to 1.5 hours on max heat and compression settings, or 8 hours if you're only using the massage setting. It takes 5 to 6 hours to charge via USB-C cable. The boots come in five sizes: S, M, L, XL and XXL.

2 Potential Stock-Split Stocks Up 185% and 255% in 3 Years to Buy Now, According to Certain Wall Street Analysts
Meta Platforms and CrowdStrike are stock-split candidates in 2025 after experiencing tremendous share price appreciation during the last three years. Meta Platforms is the second-largest adtech company in the world, and it's developing artificial intelligence (AI) tools to automate the ad creation process. CrowdStrike is a leader in several cybersecurity software verticals, and the company is investing in go-to market capabilities and internal automation. 10 stocks we like better than Meta Platforms › Smart investors are drawn to stock splits, not only because they make a company's share price cheaper, but also because they tend to precede market-beating returns. Stocks that split have historically outperformed the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) by 13 percentage points during the year after the stock-split announcement. Over the last three years, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) and CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) have returned 255% and 185%, respectively. Both companies are split candidates after that price appreciation, and both stocks are worth buying today, according to certain Wall Street analysts. Barton Crockett at Rosenblatt has set Meta Platforms with a target price of $918 per share. That implies 34% upside from its current share price of $684. Andrew Nowinski at Wells Fargo has set CrowdStrike with a target price of $550 per share. That implies 19% upside from its current share price of $460. Here's what investors should know about Meta Platforms and CrowdStrike. Meta Platforms owns four of the seven most popular social media platforms, a key competitive advantage that lets it source consumer data and help brands target advertising campaigns. Consequently, Meta is the second-largest adtech company in the world, behind Alphabet's Google, and eMarketer expects the company to continue gaining market share through 2026. Meta Platform reported solid first-quarter financial results, crushing estimates on the top and bottom lines. Revenue increased 16% to $42.3 billion, operating margin expanded 3 percentage points, and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income increased 37% to $6.43 per diluted share. Also, CEO Mark Zuckerberg told analysts the company is making "good progress" on artificial intelligence (AI) glasses and Meta AI, a conversational assistant with more than 1 billion monthly active users. Looking ahead, Meta hopes to automate the entire ad creation process with artificial intelligence (AI) by 2026. According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, "Using the ad tools Meta is developing, a brand could present an image of the product it wants to promote along with a budgetary goal, and AI would create the entire ad, including imagery, video, and text." Innovation thinking should keep Meta on the leading edge of the adtech market, where spending is projected to increase at 14% annually through 2030. In turn, Wall Street expects Meta's earnings to increase at 18% annually over the next three years. That makes the current valuation of 27 times earnings look reasonable. Patient investors should feel comfortable buying a position in this stock today. CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company best known for leadership in endpoint protection, a discipline that secures devices like servers, desktops, and laptops. But its platform comprises 30 modules that address multiple major markets, and the company is taking share in several, including cloud security, identity threat detection, attack surface management, and managed detection and response. CrowdStrike reported mixed financial results in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended in April. Revenue rose 20% to $1.1 billion, supported by high retention rates despite the widespread outage last year. But non-GAAP net income fell 8% to $0.73 per diluted share as the company ramped spending on go-to-market capabilities and automation. "We expect these investments to fuel our growth in the back half of fiscal year 2026 and beyond," CFO Burt Podbere told analysts. Looking ahead, CrowdStrike has several important tailwinds at its back. As the market leader in managed detection and response, a service that lets companies outsource their cybersecurity needs to trained professionals, the company should benefit from the massive labor shortage that currently plagues the industry. Additionally, CrowdStrike's platform strategy -- its unification of multiple cybersecurity software products on a single platform -- positions the company as a long-term winner as organizations look to eliminate complexity by consolidating through a single vendor. In total, the company values its addressable market at $250 billion by 2029. Wall Street estimates CrowdStrike's adjusted earnings will grow at 13% annually through fiscal 2027, which ends in January 2027. That makes the present valuation of 124 times earnings look expensive. Admittedly, CrowdStrike beat the consensus estimate by an average of 12% in the last six quarters, but the stock would be expensive even if that trend continues. Personally, rather than chasing CrowdStrike at its current price, I think investors should keep the stock on their watch lists right now. I expect the company to be worth far more in the future, but I also suspect the expensive valuation will create dip-buying opportunities in the near term, especially due to macroeconomic uncertainty surrounding tariffs.

Stablecoin bigwig Circle set to make its debut on the New York Stock Exchange
Crypto enthusiasts will be watching the stock market Thursday as the U.S.-based issuer of one of most popular cryptocurrencies makes its debut on the New York Stock Exchange. Circle Internet Group issues USDC, a stablecoin that can be traded at a one-to-one ratio for U.S. dollars, and EURC, which can similarly be traded for euros. Stablecoins are a fast-growing corner of the cryptocurrency industry that offer a buffer against volatility because they are pegged to real-world assets, like U.S. dollars or gold. That makes them a much more reliable means of conducting commercial transactions than other forms of crypto. Interest in Circle's initial public offering is high. The company's underwriters priced the offering at $31 per share Wednesday, up from an expected price of $27 to $28. The number of shares being sold was raised to 34 million from 32 million. Circle will trade on the NYSE under the symbol 'CRCL.' The dominant player in the stablecoin field is El Salvador-based Tether, which has the stablecoin known as USDT that currently has about $150 billion in circulation. USDC is the second most popular stablecoin market cap, with about $60 billion in circulation. Circle said in a regulatory filing that USDC has been used for more than '$25 trillion in onchain transactions' since its launch in 2018. Revenue-wise the company has seen tremendous growth, going from just $15 million in 2020 to $1.7 billion in 2024. Stablecoin issuers make profits by collecting the interest on the assets they hold in reserve to back their stablecoins. Circle said USDC is backed by 'cash, short-dated US Treasuries and overnight US Treasury repurchase agreements with leading global banks.' Circle's IPO comes amid a push by the Trump administration and the crypto industry to pass legislation that would regulate how stablecoin issuers operate in the U.S. A Senate bill advanced last month with bipartisan support. There is also growing competition in the stablecoin field. A crypto enterprise partly owned by the Trump family just launched its own stablecoin, USD1. Circle said its long track record and values – the company says its mission statement is 'to raise global economic prosperity through the frictionless exchange of value' – will help it stand apart in the field.
