Oklo, Chewy earnings, steel tariffs: Trending Tickers
Nuclear reactor developer Oklo (OKLO) shares surge to record highs after striking a deal with the US Air Force to provide power to Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska by the end of the decade. Online pet retailer Chewy (CHWY) may have topped first quarter earnings and revenue estimates, but its stock is falling Wednesday after missing guidance forecasts. Catch Yahoo Finance's full interview with Chewy CEO Sumit Singh. Shares of American steel manufacturer Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) slip further ahead of the market close as US and Mexico trade officials reported nearly a deal on steel import tariffs. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here. Let's take a look at some of the trending tickers we're watching. Shares of Oklo skyrocketing today, while Chewy and Cleveland Cliffs are falling. Let's start by looking at Oklo seeing record-breaking highs today after the announcement of an energy deal with the Air Force. The nuclear power provider being selected to power Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska following a close to two-year delay by the company. Um, this is pretty provisional here that is being announced on the part of this. Basically, it is the intended awardee of this contract. And as I like to remind folks, whenever we talk about Oklo or any of these small modular reactor companies within nuclear, um, these things are not happening tomorrow, they're not happening next year. I believe Oklo is targeting developing its first reactor and having it up and running by the end of the decade. So, and probably closer to the end than we are right now. Exactly. A long-term bet. It was interesting to think about who's buying names like Oklo because I had Tom Bruni from Stocktwits. I was talking to Tom recently and obviously kind of, you know, relatively younger group of folks on that platform. And I did ask Tom, what's interesting to your folks right now in Stocktwits? What's what are they curious about? What are they excited about? What are the themes and trends? And he immediately rattled off Tom said, it's AI, it's crypto, and the kids like nuclear. Yeah. Well, there's been a huge, you know, just like in crypto, there has been a big regulatory shift with this administration. There's been a big shift on nuclear. Although it was already brewing before the Trump administration came in. But now there's a more explicit push in the direction of nuclear. Now, you have the players like Oklo, like NuScale, that are developing these smaller reactors. And then you have the bigger players. I mean, Talen Energy extended um its deal with Amazon or expanded its deal with Amazon today. So you have the establishment players like Talen, like a Constellation Energy, that are also working with big database providers. So there are a couple of different facets to it. There's the stuff that is actually working now or that are nuclear reactors that have been operating. And then there's the new models and when those new models get up and running, we'll see. Yeah. Yeah. Chewy, let's talk about that name too. That is seeing share prices fall despite beating earnings first quarter estimates. Pet supply company announcing an 8% increase in sales year over year and a 3 cent higher adjusted EPS. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi did speak to Chewy CEO Sumit Singh about the company's first quarter and his expectations for the next quarter. You know, the momentum that we've carried out of Q1 actually has continued. In fact, you know, it's just the shape of the curve. So the first quarter, you know, at 6.2% EBITDA margins, you know, for the first time company crossed the 6% mark. So we're very very happy about, very proud about that. And then broadly, you know, we've guided to a midpoint of, you know, roughly 5.5% EBITDA margins for this year. That would put us at about a 70 basis point, 75 basis point expansion from a year-over-year perspective. Uh so under pressure today, reports are some of the issues here front and center for investors, gross margin and free cash flow missing expectations. They did reiterate annual sales targets. What did the Bulls say on a day like this? Well, City which has a buy on this one, I saw them cited saying the stock move into the print. They did know in their opinion, create kind of a tough setup perhaps. Uh they argue the multi-year growth and margin expansion story remains compelling to their point. The stock has enjoyed a strong run, even now, you're still up around 20% this year. You're up around 80% over the past 12 months. And most analysts still do see better times ahead. Yeah. Yeah. I was looking at the forward price earnings ratio of this one. It's 74, which sounds pretty eye-watering, especially when you compare it with something like 32 for Petco. Of course, Petco just came out and disappointed with its numbers recently. So I guess investors are just trying to weigh in this space, which thing is more attractive. Tough setup, says City. Yeah. Yes, yes. Ending off with Cleveland Cliffs, which is seeing its shares fall after a deal between the US and Mexico on steel import tariffs looks close reportedly. The deal would remove a 50% tariff that the Trump administration put on steel up to a specific volume determined by historical trade volumes data. With Trump steel tariffs announcement being made to promote domestic steel, that walk back could spur more import competition in the steel industry. Um, so we are seeing Cleveland Cliffs get take a hit. We're seeing Nucor take a hit. We're taking Steel Dynamics and Commercial Metals. All of them are are um are lower. And I guess there are different reactions depending on what kind of steel, whether they make raw steel or flat steel or rolled steel um or finished steel products. There's sort of different implications across the sector. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Bloomberg is the one who had this report. An agreement they say has not been finalized. I do see analysts cited as kind of weighing in, trying to game out what what could be some effects here. Some saying flat steel would be hit hardest and companies that could be affected. Uh most they say, Cliffs, Steel Dynamics, Nucor and Commercial Metals among others. Mhm. Sign in to access your portfolio

How China Is Crippling Global Luxury Brand Louis Vuitton's Parent Company
Last Updated: According to a Bloomberg report, LVMH indicated that it had failed to meet market expectations in the last quarter, with particularly sharp declines in Asia. The glitter of the global luxury market continues to dim, after industry titan LVMH, the short for Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and also the parent company of popular brand Louis Vuitton, signalled an ongoing weakness across key markets. The Paris-headquartered conglomerate, home to iconic brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Tiffany & Co, warned investors and analysts that sluggish demand, especially in China, is likely to persist into the second quarter. According to a Bloomberg report, LVMH indicated that its recent sales struggles may not abate anytime soon. The company failed to meet market expectations last quarter, with particularly sharp declines in Asia. Organic revenue growth across China and the broader Asia-Pacific region dropped by 11%, mirroring the fall seen over the past year. This region is critical for the luxury giant, accounting for roughly 30% of its total revenue, while the United States contributes another 24%. The downturn in China, historically a powerhouse for luxury consumption, is being driven by a mix of weak consumer sentiment and macroeconomic challenges. The country's post-pandemic economic recovery remains tepid, and fresh trade tensions, exacerbated by new US tariffs, are further dampening consumer confidence. This grim forecast has cast a long shadow over the broader luxury sector. Companies like Kering (owner of Gucci), Richemont (parent of Cartier), Tapestry, Ralph Lauren, and Capri Holdings are all expected to feel the ripple effects. Capri, notably, recently sold its Versace label to Prada for $1.4 billion, underscoring the shifting tides within the industry. Investor sentiment is also undergoing a notable shift. On social media platform Stocktwits, traders' outlook on LVMH has cooled, with sentiment sliding from 'bullish" to 'neutral", a sign that optimism about a quick rebound is waning. Founded in 1987 through the merger of Moët Hennessy and Louis Vuitton, LVMH has grown into the world's largest luxury goods conglomerate. Under the stewardship of chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, currently one of the richest individuals globally, the company has expanded its footprint across fashion, jewellery, watches, perfumes, wines, and spirits. Its impressive portfolio includes names like Fendi, Givenchy, Bulgari, and Hennessy, catering to affluent clientele in nearly every corner of the globe. But even this powerhouse is not immune to macroeconomic headwinds. As China, once the jewel in the crown of global luxury, retreats from its spending highs, the future of the sector is increasingly uncertain. American consumers, too, are showing signs of restraint, potentially exacerbated by political and fiscal uncertainty ahead of the 2024 US elections. All Eyes on Ralph Lauren Amid the sector's growing uncertainty, some investors are watching Ralph Lauren's upcoming results for clues about the future direction of luxury retail. The US label, known for its aspirational branding and international presence, may provide early signs of whether the slump is spreading or if a rebound could be on the horizon.

XRP, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Waiting To Pump: 'They Dominate Mindshare, They Can Lead In Culture,' Expert Says
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) recent surge to an all-time high of $111,900 has reignited discussions about its market dominance and the potential implications for altcoins. As Bitcoin's dominance approaches 64%, analysts are closely monitoring whether this trend will lead to a capital rotation into alternative cryptocurrencies. Historically, a rise in Bitcoin's dominance often precedes a shift where investors begin to diversify into altcoins. Trending: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Speaking with Benzinga, Alice Liu, Head of Research at Coinmarketcap, noted, 'With Bitcoin dominance climbing toward 63.3%, there's potential for short-term altcoin rotation.' She emphasized that as Bitcoin maintains its position above key levels, retail-driven tokens like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) could garner renewed attention, especially if accumulation by whales and retail wallets continues and broader sentiment remains in 'Greed.' The sentiment among retail investors is also shifting. Tom Bruni, VP of Community at Stocktwits, told Benzinga, 'Over half our community sees Bitcoin hitting $150,000 in 2025, and nearly 50% expect altcoins to outperform this year.' He highlighted the enduring appeal of legacy tokens, stating, 'Legacy tokens like XRP, DOGE, and SHIB continue to dominate mindshare. Whether or not they lead in tech, they've proven they can lead in culture.' While some altcoins may benefit from this potential rotation, others might not experience the same Barthere, Principal Research Analyst at Nansen, pointed out, 'XRP, for instance, previously benefited from speculative momentum tied to potential inclusion in FX reserves, a tailwind that is no longer present, unlike Bitcoin.' She emphasized the importance of clear catalysts for altcoins to drive performance in the current market environment. Kelghe D'Cruz, CEO of Pairs, highlighted the cyclical nature of the crypto market, stating, 'The typical market cycle tends to follow a well-known pattern: Bitcoin runs up first, its dominance plateaus, and then altcoins begin to move.' He expressed optimism about Dogecoin's future, mentioning the upcoming launch of DogeOS as a potential transformative initiative for the token. However, not all experts are equally optimistic about all altcoins. Eneko Knörr, CEO of Stabolut, expressed skepticism about meme coins, stating, 'Retail might chase them for hype cycles, but I believe other altcoins will offer stronger fundamentals and better long-term upside.' He acknowledged that XRP still has a defined use case and loyal community, which might help it maintain relevance. Joe Z, Co-founder of DeAgentAI, emphasized the potential for capital rotation into altcoins, noting, 'If Bitcoin maintains its position above $110,000, we could see strong allocations across OG altcoins like XRP, DOGE, and SHIB, especially among retail investors seeking higher returns than what BTC can provide in the short term.' He also highlighted technological developments like Shibarium as potential catalysts for SHIB's upward price momentum. Read Next: New to crypto?
