Bath & Body Works

Bath & Body Works is a specialty home fragrance and fragrant body care retailer operating under the Bath & Body Works, C.O. Bigelow, and White Barn brands. The company generates most of its business in North America, with just 5% of sales from international markets in fiscal 2024. For fiscal 2024, 76% of sales stemmed from the brick-and-mortar network (which was composed of more than 1,800 retail stores), similar to 2023 levels, as consumer shopping patterns remained to normal. Future growth is expected from store reformatting, digital and international channels, as well as adjacent category expansions like hair and laundry.

A blockbuster quarter for Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) delivered standout revenue, profit, and guidance figures that blasted past Wall Street forecasts, yet Goldman Sachs is holding the line seeing little room left for further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44881024/netflix-unitedhealth-novo-nordisk-tesla-and-trump-media-why-these-5-stocks-are-on-investors-radars-today">upside from current levels.</a>
In a note shared Thursday, Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan said the market is likely to respond positively to the company's first-quarter 2025 results and its forward-looking commentary. Sheridan emphasized the "solid revenue performance," driven by rising subscriber growth and partial pricing impacts, along with a "materially better" operating margin and an aggressive stock buyback program that far exceeded prior assumptions.
Still, the investment bank is treading carefully on the streaming giant, sticking with a &#8216;Neutral&#8217; rating and a 12-month price target of $955—below where the stock moved in after-hours trading following the earnings release.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Revenue Hits $10.54 Billion In Q1, Powered By Global Strength</h3>
For the quarter ended March, Netflix reported $10.54 billion in total revenue, a 13% increase year-over-year—or 16% when adjusted for foreign exchange. That result beat both Goldman Sachs' estimate of $10.42 billion and the FactSet consensus of $10.50 billion.
Regionally, performance was mixed but generally strong. 
The U.S. and Canada segment pulled in $4.62 billion, slightly below Street estimates, while Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) outperformed at $3.41 billion versus expectations of $3.32 billion. Both Latin America and Asia-Pacific met or slightly beat consensus targets at $1.26 billion each.
The standout metric was Netflix's GAAP operating income, which reached $3.35 billion, well above Goldman's $2.95 billion estimate and the Street's $3 billion figure. That equated to an operating margin of 31.7%, far ahead of the 28.5% expected by Wall Street.
Earnings per share for the quarter came in at $6.61, a substantial beat compared to both Goldman's forecast of $5.60 and the consensus of $5.69.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Q2 Outlook: Strong Guidance Raises The Bar</h3>
The company guided second-quarter 2025 revenue to $11.04 billion, implying 15% year-over-year growth—again ahead of consensus expectations of $10.89 billion.
Even more compelling was the forward guidance on profitability. Netflix expects second-quarter operating income to hit $3.68 billion, reflecting an operating margin of 33.3%. That compares to Wall Street's forecast of just 30%. 
If achieved, it would mark a major milestone in Netflix's margin expansion story, signaling increasing operating leverage as its global user base and pricing power grow.
Projected earnings per share for the second quarter are $7.03, topping Goldman's $6.30 and Street consensus of $6.25.
For full-year 2025, Netflix reaffirmed its guidance for revenue between $43.5 billion and $44.5 billion, and a full-year operating margin of 29%—in line with previous commentary and roughly in line with Wall Street forecasts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Buybacks And Margins: The Two Big Stories</h3>
The company's aggressive share buyback program was a key surprise in the earnings release. 
According to Sheridan, the level of shareholder returns far exceeded expectations, adding another bullish dimension to the company's capital return story.
Meanwhile, the dramatic margin expansion is central to the bull case. After spending years investing heavily in content and international growth, Netflix now appears to be reaping the rewards of scale.
Sheridan said investor debates heading into the next earnings call will center around the sustainability of these margin levels, the trajectory of Netflix's ad-supported tier and pricing strategy, and how second-half margins may compare to the strong first half.
Sheridan also flagged potential downside risks: slower-than-expected execution on initiatives like the ad-supported tier and password-sharing crackdowns, unexpected churn from pricing changes, and rising industry competition that could limit subscriber growth and margin expansion.

Netflix Beats Wall Street Forecasts, Yet Goldman Sachs Sees Limited Upside Ahead

Tim Stokely, the founder of subscription content platform OnlyFans, has submitted a last-minute bid to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations.
Stokely's offer comes through Zoop, a social media platform he helped launch. It is in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43572782/gm-ceo-on-trumps-trade-threats-we-can-adjust-to-anything-automaker-braces-for-25-tariffs-on-popular-cars-made-in-mexico-and-canada">partnership</a> with the HBAR Foundation, which oversees the treasury of the Hedera cryptocurrency network.
The bid promises to radically change how creators earn on the platform by distributing 80% of ad revenue directly to content creators and users, according to a press release obtained by<a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/03/onlyfans-founder-tim-stokely-hbar-foundation-cryptocurrency-tiktok-china-bytedance-zoop-microsoft-oracle-perplexity-ai-elon-musk-mrbeast-amazon-rj-phillips-president-donald-trump-banned/"> Fortune</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Web3 Twist In TikTok's Ownership Drama</h2>
The proposal is among several submitted to the White House following the passage of the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB10942">Protecting Americans</a> from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.
It requires TikTok's China-based parent company ByteDance to divest the app or face a ban in the U.S. The legislation was signed into law by then-President Joe Biden in April 2024, with an initial divestment deadline of Jan. 19.
President Donald Trump extended the deadline by 75 days and issued another extension in March, pushing the deadline to June 19. ​Trump told reporters in March that he had spoken with four interested buyer groups but did not name them, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-10/trump-says-four-different-groups-in-play-for-tiktok-deal">Bloomberg</a>.
The U.S. government's concerns center on national security. Lawmakers argue that ByteDance's ownership could allow Beijing to access Americans' user data or influence content. China has said any deal involving TikTok would need to comply with its export control laws.
Trending: With shares starting at $1.52, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-a-10k-bet-on-health-care-originals-could-have-skyrocketed-your-portfolio">this could be your chance to invest in the future of healthcare</a>.
Zoop&#8217;s proposal introduces a decentralized approach to content distribution, grounded in Web3 principles. In a statement to <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/founder-onlyfans-wants-to-buy-tiktok/">Wired</a> on April 2, co-founder RJ Phillips explained that the platform aims to transform the social media economy. It seeks to enable creators and active users to receive the majority of advertising revenue.
"Our bid for TikTok isn't just about changing ownership," <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/onlyfans-founder-crypto-foundation-submit-late-stage-bid-buy-tiktok-2025-04-02/">Phillips said</a>. "It's about creating a new paradigm where both creators and their communities benefit directly from the value they collectively generate."
The HBAR Foundation, based in Dallas, would contribute blockchain infrastructure to support transparency and monetization.

Zoop's entry adds to a crowded field of suitors. Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Oracle (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and even YouTuber MrBeast have expressed interest in TikTok.&nbsp;
Amazon reportedly made an eleventh-hour offer in early April. <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/amazon-stock-tiktok-shopping-retail-4f5ec000">Barron's</a> reported in August that Amazon's interest may stem from TikTok's growing influence in e-commerce, particularly through TikTok Shop.
China's <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/china-says-tiktok-deal-subject-government-review-2025-04-09/">Commerce Ministry</a> has reaffirmed that TikTok's algorithm is considered sensitive technology and subject to government approval before export.
Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43463099/donald-trumps-25-tariff-plan-only-tough-measures-will-level-the-playing-field-kevin-oleary-explains-the-strategy">Trump</a> has continued to tie the potential deal to broader trade negotiations with China. Trump raised <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/trump-says-the-tiktok-deal-is-still-very-much-on-the-table-even-after-doubling-down/5evwx4q">tariffs</a> on Chinese imports to 145% but said he might consider lowering them if ByteDance agrees to a U.S.-approved sale of TikTok.

'Federal Reserve Board Announces Approval Of Application By Capital One Financial Corporation To Merge With Discover Financial Services And Issues A Consent Order With Discover'- Federal Reserve

Mark Cuban made his position known this week when it came to Americans complaining about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44587812/200-jobs-lost-and-counting-canadian-steel-and-aluminum-plants-struggle-under-us-tariffs">lost manufacturing jobs</a>. He argued that the real power to change the economy isn't in Washington, but in everyday purchasing choices.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Power to Shift the Economy Is in Your Wallet</h2>
In a series of posts on X, the billionaire investor and entrepreneur said Americans have always had the option to support U.S. manufacturing—they just didn't take it. Cuban pointed out that, in theory, if every American had chosen to buy only domestically made goods, the demand would have been strong enough to keep manufacturing jobs in the U.S.

&#8220;What percentage of the physical products that you purchased the last 6 months were made in America?&#8221; Cuban <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1911495292261748893">asked</a>. &#8220;You do realize that EVERY AMERICAN could have chosen to buy only American-made products. Then we wouldn&#8217;t be in this position. Companies would manufacture here because customers demanded it.&#8221;

&mdash; Mark Cuban (@mcuban) <a href="https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1911495292261748893?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 13, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
To push that idea forward, Cuban said he invested in a startup that created a browser extension to help consumers make those decisions more easily. The tool would highlight American-made alternatives whenever people shopped online, on Amazon or elsewhere. The concept was simple: make it easy to support U.S. companies.
Trending: With shares starting at $1.52, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-a-10k-bet-on-health-care-originals-could-have-skyrocketed-your-portfolio">this could be your chance to invest in the future of healthcare</a>.
But the outcome was disappointing.
&#8220;No one cared,&#8221; Cuban wrote. &#8220;They had to pivot.&#8221; In other words, there wasn't enough user interest to make the product viable in its original form. The company had to change its strategy to survive.
Cuban's comments were in response to a user who said they were willing to pay more for American-made goods and felt the U.S. economy was stronger when it relied on domestic manufacturing, especially in regions like the Midwest. That post expressed nostalgia for a time when American workers had better wages and more stable jobs thanks to local production.
Cuban didn't argue against that point. But he insisted that if consumers truly wanted to bring back those days, they needed to act on it—not just talk about it.
He followed up with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44786027/mark-cuban-criticizes-tariff-supporters-who-dont-buy-american-you-are-a-hypocrite">direct call-out</a> to those who demand policy solutions like tariffs while ignoring their own buying habits. &#8220;I don&#8217;t care who you are,&#8221; he started, &#8220;If you are complaining we need tariffs to bring manufacturing and jobs to the USA, and you don&#8217;t buy American EXCLUSIVELY, YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE.&#8221;
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
He continued, &#8220;You want to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44661665/manufacturing-resurgence-not-without-a-workforce-says-blackrocks-fink">bring manufacturing back</a>, lead by example and get friends and family to do the same.&#8221; His message is that change doesn't start with politicians; it starts with your credit card.
Cuban also <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/status/1911480601984811406">responded</a> sharply to investor and entrepreneur Grant Cardone, who accused him of working against the president and claimed that businesses now realize they were too reliant on limited suppliers and financing options.
&#8220;Why do you always blame hard working entrepreneurs who are busting their ass to live the American dream?&#8221; Cuban fired back.
This wasn't just about a browser plugin that didn't take off. It was about the larger question of consumer responsibility. Cuban's view is that the market responds to what people actually buy, not what they say they care about.
If Americans truly want to bring back jobs and revive domestic manufacturing, Cuban says it won&#8217;t happen because of social media posts, soundbites, or even tariffs. It has to begin with conscious, consistent consumer choices. Until then, he suggests, complaints about jobs going overseas ring hollow.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) just delivered a quarter that Wall Street won't soon forget &#8211; but you wouldn't know it by looking at the stock chart.
The chip giant crushed first quarter estimates, powered by AI-hungry demand for its 3nm and 5nm chips, yet shares continue to short-circuit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strong Fundamentals, Stronger Headwinds</h2>
First quarter revenue surged 41.6% year-over-year to $25.53 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44857887/taiwan-semiconductor-q1-surges-41-in-sales-boosted-by-ai-chip-demand-expanded-margins">topping expectations</a> of $23.92 billion. EPS came in at $2.12, well above the $1.82 consensus. TSM also projected second quarter revenue between $28.4 billion and $29.2 billion, bolstered by continued strength in AI processor demand &#8211; think Nvidia Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs and Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones.
As Direxion's Head of Capital Markets Jake Behan put it: "TSM's strong results, driven by its critical supplier role to Nvidia, signal strength ahead of a pivotal semiconductor earnings season&#8230;.TSM&#8217;s strong earnings and sustained capex plans position it as a bellwether, signaling continued AI-driven demand – a bullish signal for the sector."
But don't cue the victory music just yet.

Despite the stellar report, TSM stock is flashing technical warning signs all over the board. At $151.74, it's trading below its eight, 20, 50 and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). In trader speak, that's a bearish signal coming from every major trend line. The 50-day SMA stands at $177.31, and the 200-day SMA is way up at $183.96 &#8211; have recently made a Death Cross.
"A pre-tariff buying rush may have padded TSM's bump in sales, which raises the question of whether short-term strength could mask longer-term softness," warned Behan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Volatility, Thy Name Is Semis</h2>
With trade war chatter and tariff jitters looming large, even the best earnings might not be enough to keep the rally going. As Behan notes: "Headline risk continues to be a key headwind for the semiconductor sector."
For investors looking to play the volatility, investors may look at the Direxion Daily TSM Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMX#NASDAQ">TSMX</a>) (2x daily return) and the Direxion Daily TSM Bear 1X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMZ#NASDAQ">TSMZ</a>) (-1x daily return) to ride the waves &#8211; or shield from them.
TSM's fundamentals are flexing, but the charts are trembling. AI demand is hot, but trade risks and technical pressure may leave the stock stuck in the cooling chamber.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Brinker International 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

<ul>
<li>Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Google, Tesla, and Apple gave millions of dollars to Trump during his campaign and for his inauguration</li>
<li>Now the businesses have lost a collective $1.8 trillion, thanks to reciprocal tariffs</li>
<li>Wedbush's Dan Ives called the levies an "economic armageddon" for the tech sector</li>
</ul>
Several Silicon Valley leaders were among President Donald Trump's biggest supporters during the election and his inauguration. Now, they're seeing their wallets take a major hit thanks to his policies.
Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APPL#NASDAQ">APPL</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Google, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) gave millions of dollars to Trump's reelection campaign and inauguration fund. But <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/tech/tech-leaders-supported-trump-lost-money-dg/index.html">CNN</a> now reports that as of April 9, the companies have lost a combined $1.8 trillion due to tariffs.

</ul>
Throughout his campaign, Trump talked about how eager he was to grow the tech industry and cement America as a leader in AI. So it follows that the country's tech giants would want to hitch their trains to Trump's. But with tariffs targeting supply chains and manufacturing hubs across Asia, those once-hoped-for business benefits have failed to materialize. In their place are substantial monetary losses for both the companies and their respective CEOs and founders.&nbsp;
Investment bank UBS now estimates that tech earnings as a whole could shrink by as much as 19%, according to a daily update it released on April 5. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called Trump's tariff policies an "economic armageddon" for the sector in an April 3 interview on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Miyrnlfi_10">CNBC</a>.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
But what do those losses look like for the individual companies and the billionaires behind them? According to CNN, Elon Musk has been hit the hardest. On April 12, the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Bloomberg Billionaires Index</a> showed that the Tesla CEO and Department of Government Efficiency de facto leader's personal net worth had dropped by $121 billion since the start of the year. And CNN writes that as of the market close on April 9, Tesla shares were down by 28% and its market capitalization had dropped by $376.6 billion.
Following the market rebound on April 9, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's net worth had gone down by $14.9 billion, according to the Bloomberg list. This is a significant bounceback from the initial $26.5 billion loss that CNN reported the day before. His shrinking fortune still pales in comparison to the 2.25% loss in Meta's stock prices, which has caused a $35.8 billion decrease in the company's valuation.&nbsp;
Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos has seen a $33.3 billion decline in his net worth, according to Bloomberg, while CNN reports that his company experienced a 13% share price drop since the start of the year, which translates to a $316.8 billion loss in value.

And while Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook have seen their personal fortunes take less of a hit, their companies have not profited from their association with Trump the way they may have hoped. Google donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund, but has seen tariffs contribute to a 16.2% drop in its stock prices and a $386.7 billion decline in its valuation, according to CNN. And Apple, having pledged a $500 billion investment in U.S. facilities, has taken an especially big hit, with stock prices hitting a low of 18.5% down from the start of the year, and total valuation declining by $684 billion.
During Trump's first term in office, many big companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, and Tesla successfully lobbied for exemptions from Trump's tariffs. But this time around, things appear less certain for the tech giants. "The magnitude of reciprocal tariffs levied by the U.S. poses profound financial risks to the technology industry and its extensive supply chain," Moody's Ratings wrote in a <a href="https://www.moodys.com/research/doc--PBC_1444693">note</a> on April 8. "We believe no tech industry subsector will go unharmed."&nbsp;
