Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Tempus AI, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

U.S. stock futures are rallying Wednesday evening after a Federal Court ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority with the &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs imposed at the beginning of April.

Dow Futures Jump Over 400 Points, Amazon And Walmart Shares Spike In After-Hours Trading After Court Blocks Trump Tariffs: Nikkei Opens Higher

Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Stellantis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) confirmed to Reuters inquiry on Wednesday about mutually agreeing to dump their plans to create in-car software under the SmartCockpit project, which would rely on Amazon&#8217;s in-car technology.
Stellaintis had aimed to take on the likes of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) by the move.
However, the companies continue to work together on a range of initiatives.

The companies planned to develop features that would make the cars feel like an extension of the home, detecting the driver and personalizing settings such as the thermostat, navigation, and even home automation, like turning on lights.
Stellantis&#8217;s CEO, Carlos Tavares, had announced the plan in 2022. However, Tavares left the automaker abruptly&nbsp;in 2024, and the company on Wednesday named Antonio Filosa, its North American chief, as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/05/45638939/stellantis-names-antonio-filosa-ceo-amid-uncertainty-over-trumps-50-eu-tariff-threat" rel="noreferrer noopener">its&nbsp;new CEO</a>.
Stellantis stock plunged 54% in the last 12 months as it grappled with disappointing sales, especially in North America, coupled with additional headwinds from the Trump administration&#8217;s tariff policies.
Stellantis had earlier announced plans to&nbsp;migrate some production&nbsp;away from Mexico to Michigan to offset the uncertainty posed by the tariffs. The company had also pulled its earnings guidance for 2025.
President&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45589460/stellantis-stla-shares-slide-on-trump-tariff-threat-against-eu-imports" rel="noreferrer noopener">threatened to impose</a> a 50% tariff on all European Union imports beginning June 1. A 50% tariff could make Stellantis models significantly less competitive versus U.S.-produced alternatives, especially since Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;plan&nbsp;would exempt domestically produced goods.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stellantis Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research can be a valuable source of information for learning about a company's fundamentals. Analysts create financial models based on the fundamentals and expected future earnings of a company to arrive at a price target and recommendation for the stock.
Shares of Stellantis have an average 1-year price target of $13.0, representing an expected upside of 27.14%.
Because of differences in assumptions, analysts can arrive at very different price targets and recommendations. No analysts have bearish recommendations on Stellantis, while No analysts have bullish ratings. The street high price target from Piper Sandler is $13.0, while the street low from Piper Sandler is $13.0.
Price Action: STLA shares traded lower by 2.48% at $10.22 at last check Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) - The United States on Wednesday announced a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign nationals who "censor" Americans.
"It is unacceptable for foreign officials to issue or threaten arrest warrants on U.S. citizens or U.S. residents for social media posts on American platforms while physically present on U.S. soil," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement. He said it was "similarly unacceptable" for foreign officials to demand content moderation from American tech platforms.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Amazon.com 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) CEO Sundar Pichai has firmly rejected the notion that anyone at Google can manually alter search rankings, even in response to President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41079928/trump-vs-google-former-president-alleges-search-engine-bias-says-its-only-showing-bad-stories-about">complaints</a>.
What Happened: In a conversation <a href="https://www.theverge.com/decoder-podcast-with-nilay-patel/673638/google-ceo-sundar-pichai-interview-ai-search-web-future">with</a> The Verge's Nilay Patel, Pichai was asked about Trump's criticism of his search rankings and the President's desire for them to be altered.
When asked whether search results for Trump would ever be adjusted in response to his complaints, Pichai said, "No. Look, we have a&#8230; I can't&#8230; Today, the way Google Search works is that I cannot&#8230; No person at Google can influence the ranking algorithm."

Why It's Important: Last year, Trump indicated that Google could face legal consequences, accusing the tech giant of interfering in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40867103/nate-silver-if-trump-loses-he-will-have-let-election-slip-out-of-his-grasp-as-underlying-factors-fav">2024 presidential election</a> by manipulating search results.
He alleged that Google deliberately promoted negative coverage about him while giving greater visibility to favorable stories about former Vice President Kamala Harris.

At the time, Google reaffirmed its previous stance and a company spokesperson said, "Both campaign websites consistently appear at the top of Search for relevant and common search queries."
After Trump won against Harris, Google contributed $1 million to support Trump's inauguration, aligning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42898021/google-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-plans-youtube-livestream-pleased-to-support">itself with other major donors</a> such as Meta Platforms, Inc.

Sundar Pichai Says No One At Google Can Change Trump's Search Ranking — Not Even Him

Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/microsoft" rel="noreferrer noopener">showcased new products</a> and collaborations with OpenAI, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Elon Musk&#8217;s xAI. These companies target Microsoft Azure cloud computing infrastructure clients to sell AI models, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/9f6225c5-38e7-46a1-a920-e05a9a8df319" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Sunday.
Microsoft held its annual Build conference in Seattle, where it showcased a coding &#8220;agent,&#8221; among others.
Microsoft integrated OpenAI models into Microsoft products, such as the Copilot AI assistant. It also plans to offer OpenAI rivals Anthropic&#8217;s Claude Code and AI&#8217;s Grok AI models to its cloud computing customers.

Microsoft chief Satya Nadella said the technology industry was in the middle of &#8216;another platform shift,&#8217; drawing parallels with the transformation associated with the Internet.
OpenAI chief Sam Altman, Musk, and Nvidia chief Jensen Huang made virtual appearances during the conference.
After signing a Microsoft Azure Foundry deal, Musk said Microsoft customer feedback would influence xAI&#8217;s Grok models. Huang also announced its collaboration with Microsoft for an AI supercomputer.
Altman announced deep integration between its Codex coding agent and Microsoft GitHub&#8217;s computer programming tool.
Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan told the Financial Times that Microsoft is the AI ringleader, indicating that it is the top platform and catalyst for making models work.
Microsoft stock surged 8% year-to-date, in contrast with the decline of the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; U.S. Big Tech stocks like Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), as President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff policies weighed on the U.S. stock market.
Amazon and Google also adopted Microsoft&#8217;s similar strategy. However, analysts vouched for Microsoft&#8217;s moat, backed by its suite of AI offerings.
Last week, Rangan said Microsoft Cloud <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45519467/microsofts-4-trillion-moment-is-now-in-sight-goldman-sachs" rel="noreferrer noopener">will generate over</a> $300 billion in revenue by fiscal year 2029, up from under $140 billion at present. Microsoft is using the same strategy of creating tiered pricing for its AI tools, which will lead to steady growth and stronger margins, according to the analyst.
As products like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Dynamics AI become more powerful, businesses may be more willing to pay for them, Rangan added.
Price Action: MSFT stock closed higher by 2.33% to $460.69 on Tuesday.

Microsoft Pulls Ahead In AI Race With Key Partnerships Across OpenAI, Nvidia, And Elon Musk's xAI

As Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) gets set to report earnings on Wednesday, ETF investors are looking for more than just numbers, they are looking for big, bold, silicon-fueled signs. And nothing shouts &#8220;next catalyst&#8221; louder than Oracle Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45599854/oracle-to-spend-40-billion-on-nvidia-gb200-chips-for-openais-texas-data-center-report">$40 billion chip binge for its Texas-based OpenAI data center</a>.
The acquisition? Nvidia&#8217;s compute-dense Blackwell GPUs, which are aimed at powering the next wave of generative AI. The risk? Potentially huge for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">chip-loaded ETFs</a>.

More Than Just Hype
Oracle&#8217;s giant order isn&#8217;t a shiny headline moment; it&#8217;s a warning sign that hyperscalers are going all-in on AI infrastructure, and Nvidia remains the only true arms dealer in this emerging digital arms race.
The acquisition may:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Solidify Nvidia&#8217;s status as the default provider of enterprise AI.</li>
<li>Encourage similar purchases by cloud competitors Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).</li>
<li>Cause a new rotation of capital into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor and AI ETFs</a>.</li>
</ul>
ETF Exposure: Who&#8217;s Most At Risk, Or Reward?
Oracle&#8217;s $40 billion play set a fire under Nvidia, and these ETFs are leading the charge for the resulting heat:
VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>): Nvidia is its flagship, accounting for a ~21% weighting. A post-earnings rally ignited by the Oracle deal has the potential to rocket SMH into the stratosphere.
iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>): More diversified than SMH, yet Nvidia-dominant (~8–10%). Good upside if Nvidia&#8217;s earnings show the Oracle contract to its full extent.
Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>): Not technically semiconductors, but strongly AI-focused. The Oracle-Nvidia-OpenAI triangle is right in its thematic sweet spot.
Roundhill Generative AI &amp; Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHAT#NYSE">CHAT</a>): One of the more recent entrants to the market, purely dedicated to generative AI. Nvidia&#8217;s leadership in model training infrastructure makes CHAT happy, as the chip giant holds the top position in this fund&#8217;s portfolio.

Here&#8217;s What Charts Show Ahead Of Q1 Results</a>
ETF Traders Are Watching Nvidia&#8217;s Guidance Like Hawks
The deal alone might not appear in full in Q1 figures, but traders are focused on Q2 and full-year guidance. If Nvidia is guiding for high revenue growth correlated to enterprise AI demand, it would provoke:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A turn back into semiconductors, particularly following recent margin concerns.</li>
<li>Thematic ETF flows, as fund managers pursue AI stories with worldwide tailwinds.</li>
<li>Risk repricing, with the Middle East, Oracle, and cloud providers now positioned as Nvidia&#8217;s growth drivers, instead of China.</li>
</ul>
The Catalyst May Already Be Here
For ETF observers, Nvidia&#8217;s report may be less about the last quarter and more about the Blackwell-driven future. The Oracle deal is huge, but if it is just the beginning, ETF traders may be onto a sector re-rating.
Because when a single tech giant spends $40 billion on chips, the ripple effect does not end at one stock, it resonates across an entire ecosystem of ETFs.

With Aurora DSQL, customers no longer need to make these trade-offs, enabling them to build highly available applications at any scale without the operational burden of patching, upgrades, and maintenance downtime.
<ul>
<li>Amazon Aurora DSQL is now generally available in eight AWS Regions, with availability in additional Regions coming soon.</li>
<li>Customers and Partners including ADP, Cintra, Caylent, DeNA, Robinhood, and more are using Amazon Aurora DSQL to build highly resilient applications that meet the most stringent business continuity requirements.</li>

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google Axion ARM CPU programs, strong demand for its 800G products, and the initial ramp of 1.6T optical DSPs, combined with a continued cyclical recovery in its enterprise and carrier segments.

Overall, the analyst expects April quarter results ($1.875 billion, up 3% Q/Q) and July quarter guidance ($2.00 billion+, 7% Q/Q) to be in line with Sur and consensus estimates, with solid data center growth led by its AI ASIC ramps, growth in 800G/1.6T AI optical shipments, 400ZR shipments, and HDD/SSD controllers. He noted that the remainder of its business should drive a Q/Q growth profile on cyclical improvements/new product cycles.
Sur noted that Marvell&#8217;s Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) AI ASIC MAIA Gen 2-3nm program is on track to ramp in calendar year 2026. Marvell has also won the Gen 3 MAIA program and has already commenced early chip design activity, he stated.
The analyst said that 800G PAM4 optical DSP orders and shipments remain solid within Marvell&#8217;s optical business, with an increasing ramp of next-gen 1.6T DSP into the second half.
Sur noted that Marvell is tracking to drive $4 billion in AI revenues this year (ASICs + networking), up 2x+ Y/Y, with a strong growth profile into calendar year 2026.
In cyclical business, demand from enterprise networking (Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csco#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>)) remains healthy, and demand for carrier infrastructure is stabilizing, as per Sur.
In automotive, the divestiture of the auto business, expected to close in the calendar year 2025 ($225-$250 million revenue in the fiscal year 2026), is a revenue headwind but should be overall accretive to the Marvell&#8217;s earnings power by $0.05-$0.10, the analyst said. More importantly, he noted the custom data center and AI ASIC pipeline are continuing to expand.
Price Action: MRVL stock was trading higher by 5.69% to $64.15 at last check Tuesday.

Exploring The Competitive Space: Amazon.com Versus Industry Peers In Broadline Retail

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang&#8217;s rejection of PowerPoint presentations isn't a quirky habit—it's part of a broader trend among some of the most successful tech leaders who believe slide decks are a barrier to real thinking.
What Happened: In "The Nvidia Way: Jensen Huang and the Making of a Tech Giant," a book published last year detailing Nvidia's rise, one of the most striking revelations is Huang's near-total ban on PowerPoint, <a href="https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20241212PD205/nvidia-jensen-huang-management-ceo.html">according</a> to DigiTimes Asia, a Taiwanese media outlet.
Instead, Huang prefers whiteboard meetings, which he believes foster sharper, more transparent conversations.
As per the book, Huang's team ensures a whiteboard is always available, whether in the office or while traveling. A former Nvidia executive even recalled an instance where the requested board was so large it required five people to bring it into a conference room.

At Nvidia headquarters, many conference rooms feature entire whiteboard walls. Huang believes whiteboards prevent employees from hiding behind flashy formatting and force them to engage in live problem-solving, the report noted, citing the book.
And he's not alone in this view.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) co-founder Steve Jobs once said, "People who know what they're talking about don't need PowerPoint." He insisted that real conversations—not slide decks—drive decisions, <a href="https://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/steve-jobs-hated-powerpoint-you-should-too-heres-what-to-use-instead.html">reported</a> Inc.com.
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36337342/jeff-bezos-reveals-why-amazon-did-away-with-powerpoint-presentations-for-a-silent-start-meeting-stra">replaced slide decks</a> with written memos. "The narrative structure of a good memo forces better thought," he explained.
Attendees in Bezos-led meetings begin by silently reading a multi-page memo before discussing it, allowing for deeper reflection and structured conversation.

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has also previously advised leaders to "get out of PowerPoint and just start building." LinkedIn's Jeff Weiner also eliminated presentations, saying, "The meeting can now be exclusively focused on generating a valuable discourse."
Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) former CEO Steve Ballmer also found slide presentations inefficient. "You take the listener through your path of discovery&#8230; I decided that's not what I want to do anymore," he said.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has also echoed these sentiments during a 2020 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/elon-musk-advises-ceos-to-stop-wasting-time-on-powerpoint-meetings-11607470065">interview</a> with the Wall Street Journal, criticizing CEOs who spend too much time on PowerPoint and not enough on product innovation.
"Spend less time in conference rooms, less time on PowerPoint and more time just trying to make your product as amazing as possible," Musk stated then.
It is important to note that these CEOs are likely referring broadly to slide presentations, regardless of the specific software used to create them.

Jensen Huang Isn't A Powerpoint Fan — Neither Are Jeff Bezos And Elon Musk: Why Slide Decks Don't Cut It For Today's Tech Leaders

While still in its early stages, quantum computing is a major focus for a few pure-play companies, along with technology giants alike. Here is a breakdown of quantum computing-focused companies that investors could consider as the technology evolves.
What Happened: The key difference between the pure-play quantum computing companies and large technology giants lies in their core business focus and their stage of involvement in the quantum computing industry.
The pure-play companies are primarily, if not exclusively, focused on the development and commercialization of quantum computing technologies. The success of such companies is almost entirely tied to the progress and adoption of quantum computing.
The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of these companies is used to analyze their valuation, as these companies, which are in early stages of development, have negative earnings, making the popular valuation metric, price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, unusable.
Among a few pure-play quantum computing companies, D-Wave Quantum Inc. has the lowest P/S ratio of 199.114, whereas Quantum Computing Inc. had a staggering P/S ratio of 3,500.00, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

On the other hand, the established, diversified technology giants with vast resources and multiple revenue streams are also involved in quantum computing, but it is typically not a part of their broader R&amp;D strategy.
These firms leverage their existing cloud infrastructure and expertise in AI and high-performance computing for quantum computing.
While the P/S ratios of these firms are much lower than their pure-play counterparts, Amazon.com Inc. has the lowest ratio of all at 3.358.

Why It Matters: Another way for investors to get exposure to the quantum computing stocks is via Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QTUM#NASDAQ">QTUM</a>).
It is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the BlueStar Quantum Computing and Machine Learning Index, which helps investors capture the growth potential of the quantum computing sector.
The ETF has gained 14.45% over the last month, 25.97% over the last six months, and 4.47% on a year-to-date basis, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The ETF invests in over 70 global stocks across the value chain, including hardware, software, and application-focused companies. Its top holdings include Rigetti and D-Wave, followed by IonQ.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Friday.

Quantum Computing Stocks In Focus: Pure Play Vs. Large Caps - Here's A Look At The Valuations

Stord, the logistics tech startup founded by former Thiel fellow Sean Henry, is stepping up its campaign to challenge Amazon's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) grip on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/general/24/05/38962562/navigating-the-e-commerce-landscape-challenges-and-opportunities-on-the-horizon">e-commerce</a> by acquiring United Parcel Service (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) subsidiary Ware2Go.
The deal,<a href="https://www.stord.com/newsroom/stord-acquires-ware2go-from-ups"> announced</a> Monday, brings an additional 2.5 million square feet of fulfillment space into Stord's network and according to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/19/e-commerce-logistics-stord.html"> CNBC</a>, it strengthens its growing footprint across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and the Netherlands.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Founder Trained by Thiel and Backed by Titans</h2>
Sean Henry launched Stord at just 18 years old after dropping out of the Georgia Institute of Technology to join the Thiel Fellowship, CNBC says. The fellowship is a program offering ambitious young entrepreneurs $100,000 to pursue startups instead of college, according to the <a href="https://thielfellowship.org/">website</a>.
Stord is backed by a high-profile lineup of investors, including Kleiner Perkins, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42366606/peter-thiel-is-a-stanford-grad-but-thinks-college-is-such-a-waste-that-he-offers-100000-to-students-who-quit-compares-education-to-santa">Peter Thiel</a>'s Founders Fund, Franklin Templeton, and Strike Capital. The firms are fueling the company's ambition to "level the playing field" for independent e-commerce brands that struggle to match Amazon's fulfillment speed, Henry told CNBC.
According to Henry, the core problem facing small and mid-size merchants is the lack of scale. Competing with Prime requires a dense, distributed logistics network that most independent brands simply can't afford to build, CNBC reports.
By integrating Ware2Go's third-party delivery services into its platform, Stord aims to offer exactly that: a robust infrastructure that brings fast, efficient shipping within reach for thousands of businesses, the company says.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expansion Amid Disruption</h2>
Stord's growth strategy is calibrated to thrive in volatile conditions. Henry told CNBC that disruption, from trade policy uncertainty to global events like the pandemic, has historically driven merchants toward platforms like Stord that offer adaptability at scale.
According to the company&#8217;s announcement, the Ware2Go acquisition follows other strategic moves in recent years: the purchase of Pitney Bowes' (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBI#NYSE">PBI</a>) e-commerce fulfillment division, freight platform ProPack and direct-to-consumer fulfillment provider Fulfillment Works. With each addition, Stord has expanded its capabilities across every stage of the fulfillment cycle, from warehouse storage to last-mile delivery.
Now, with more than 70 partner sites worldwide and a growing tech-integrated operations platform, according to CNBC, Stord is positioning itself as a full-cycle logistics alternative for merchants who want to retain brand control without sacrificing speed or reach.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building a Defensible Edge Against Amazon</h2>
Stord focuses on more than warehousing, developing proprietary software designed to work in lockstep with its physical operations, CNBC says. This tight integration forms what Henry describes as a strong, defensible edge.
&#8220;If we are the one who's building our own technology in harmony with our operations, from every stage all the way through the cart… it's gonna be really hard for others to keep up,&#8221; he told CNBC.
As e-commerce continues to evolve, and more consumers demand fast, reliable shipping from independent brands, Stord's expanding network may prove to be the backbone that helps them compete. Backed by elite investors and driven by a founder with a blueprint for disruption, the company benefits from industry volatility, as brands increasingly turn to flexible platforms that can weather uncertainty and scale with demand.

9 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), divulged his personal philosophy on achieving success, underscoring the significance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36631415/this-amazon-applicants-interview-answer-earned-her-a-seat-3-feet-away-from-amazons-bezos">pursuing one&#8217;s passions</a>.
What Happened: During a speech&nbsp;at the George W. Bush&nbsp;Presidential Center's Forum on Leadership,&nbsp;Bezos encouraged attendees to turn their passions into their professions. 
He explained that identifying one&#8217;s passions requires commitment, effort, and resilience, rather than passively waiting for one&#8217;s purpose to reveal itself.
Bezos stated, &#8220;You&nbsp;can have a job, or&nbsp;you can have a career,&nbsp;or you can have a&nbsp;calling,&#8221; promoting&nbsp;the latter as the ultimate&nbsp;professional achievement. 
According <a href="https://www.inc.com/marcel-schwantes/jeff-bezos-said-success-boils-down-to-1-simple-thing.html">to</a> Inc.com, he further added, &#8220;If&nbsp;you can somehow figure out&nbsp;how to have a calling,&nbsp;you have hit the jackpot,&nbsp;because that's the big deal.&#8221;
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45601150/jeff-bezos-called-out-in-hunts-point-acts-like-he-owns-hunts-point-not-much-of-a-neighbor-busy-with-national-stuff">Jeff Bezos Called Out in Hunts Point: &#8216;Acts Like He Owns Hunts Point,&#8217; &#8216;Not Much of a Neighbor,&#8217; &#8216;Busy With National Stuff&#8217;</a>
Bezos believes that passions are innate and naturally steer our career trajectories and life decisions. Recognizing and embracing one&#8217;s passion is crucial due to its potential to boost creativity, productivity, and overall life satisfaction. 
Despite obstacles, those who dedicate themselves&nbsp;to their passions often find&nbsp;the journey rewarding.
Bezos&#8217; perspective echoes that of Warren Buffett, who once expressed, &#8220;In the world of business, the people who are most successful are those who are doing what they love.&#8221; This shared belief underscores the importance of passion in driving success in both personal and professional realms.
By advocating for the transformation of passions into careers, Bezos and Buffett highlight the potential for personal fulfillment and professional success when one&#8217;s work aligns with their inherent interests and passions.

 </style>By thoroughly analyzing Amazon.com, we can discern the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
A Price to Earnings ratio of 33.08 significantly below the industry average by 0.78x suggests undervaluation. This can make the stock appealing for those seeking growth.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 7.05, which is 1.27x the industry average, Amazon.com might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 3.36, which is 1.83x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
With a Return on Equity (ROE) of 5.79% that is 0.22% below the industry average, it appears that the company exhibits potential inefficiency in utilizing equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
The company exhibits higher Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $36.48 Billion, which is 4.54x above the industry average, implying stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.
</li>
<li>
With higher gross profit of $78.69 Billion, which indicates 4.41x above the industry average, the company demonstrates stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 8.62% is notably higher compared to the industry average of 4.66%, showcasing exceptional sales performance and strong demand for its products or services.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748271641_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio gauges the extent to which a company has financed its operations through debt relative to equity.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When examining Amazon.com in comparison to its top 4 peers with respect to the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following information becomes apparent:
<ul>
<li>
Among its top 4 peers, Amazon.com has a stronger financial position with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.44.
</li>
<li>
This indicates that the company relies less on debt financing and maintains a more favorable balance between debt and equity, which can be viewed positively by investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Amazon.com, the PE ratio is low compared to its peers in the Broadline Retail industry, indicating potential undervaluation. The high PB and PS ratios suggest that the market values the company's assets and sales highly. In terms of ROE, Amazon.com's performance is lower than its industry peers, reflecting less efficient use of shareholder equity. However, the high EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth signify strong operational and financial performance relative to competitors in the industry.
