JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers expressed views on Lowe&#8217;s Companies, Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) first quarter fiscal 2025 results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LOW/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported today before market open</a>.
The company posted adjusted earnings of $2.92 per share, which beat the&nbsp;analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45542517/lowes-ceo-calls-out-near-term-housing-market-challenges-but-holds-the-line-on-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $2.80</a>.
Revenue of $20.93 billion missed the analyst consensus estimate of $20.94 billion.
Lowe's forecasts 2025 EPS of $12.15–$12.40 versus the $12.23 consensus estimate. Total sales are projected between $83.5 billion and $84.5 billion, compared with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">analysts' expectations of $84.31 billion</a>.
Expectations for Lowe&#8217;s had risen after Home Depot&#8216;s beat, and Lowe&#8217;s indeed performed slightly better, says the analyst.
The analyst writes that Lowe&#8217;s delivered an EPS beat, fueled by slightly better-than-expected comparable store sales (similar to Home Depot) and more substantial gross margins.
The analyst noted that Pro sales decelerated to a mid-single-digit increase, while DIY sales were impacted by early-quarter weather issues, suggesting a better exit rate.
Horvers writes that operating margin came in at 11.9% compared to management&#8217;s prior expectations of an 11.8% operating margin, largely due to an estimated $400 million (200 basis points) of Spring demand shifting from first-quarter to second-quarter.
This shift was influenced by Lowe&#8217;s facing normalized spring weather in the first quarter but &#8220;one of the worst weather backdrops in 30 years&#8221; in second quarter of the previous year, notes the analyst.
Horvers says that Lowe&#8217;s retaining its full-year guidance suggests strong trends by quarter-end, particularly as their earlier forecast anticipated flat comparable sales for the first half.
Price Action: Lowe&#8217;s shares are down 0.91% at $229.15 at the last check on Wednesday.

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and DeepSeek&#8217;s home province Zhejiang introduced a comprehensive policy package to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">accelerate&nbsp;artificial intelligence (AI)</a> research, industrial growth, and talent acquisition.
Major companies in the AI supply chain, including those responsible for large language models, cloud computing, and&nbsp;semiconductors, could potentially generate combined operating revenues of over 1 trillion yuan ($138.6 billion) by 2027, nearly double the current production value of China&#8217;s AI industry, which last year saw total output worth 570 billion yuan, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3311106/alibaba-and-deepseeks-home-province-launches-ai-spending-spree-become-innovation-hub" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Wednesday, citing official data.
The strategy resonated with Beijing&#8217;s call for technological self-reliance.
Financial support includes attracting more than 10 billion yuan in venture capital to invest in AI, especially subsidizing start-ups.

The policy takes effect on May 31 and will remain valid through 2027.
The Guangdong government announced subsidies for the AI and robotics sectors in April. The Guangdong city of Shenzhen is home to tech firms, including&nbsp;Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) and&nbsp;Huawei Technologies.
Alibaba is considered the tech barometer of China. The stock surged over 46% year-to-date.
Alibaba reported its&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45473543/alibabas-cloud-and-e-commerce-units-shine-as-analyst-sees-ai-take-rates-fueling-future-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal&nbsp;fourth-quarter</a> revenue growth of&nbsp;7%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$32.58 billion, missing the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$33.08 billion. It clocked an adjusted earnings per ADS of&nbsp;$1.73, which&nbsp;beat the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate&nbsp;of&nbsp;$1.48.&nbsp;Cloud Intelligence Group revenue grew by&nbsp;18%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$4.15 billion.
Benchmark&nbsp;analyst Fawne Jiang continues to view Alibaba as a leading beneficiary of accelerated AI adoption in China and a top structural player in the sector.
Price Action:&nbsp;BABA shares traded lower by&nbsp;0.75%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$124.22 at&nbsp;the last check on Wednesday.

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated to include the new filing on Wednesday.
Siyata Mobile Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYTA#NASDAQ">SYTA</a>) shares are pulling back on Wednesday, down 36.7% to $5.19. The decline follows a dramatic 85% surge on Tuesday, despite a lack of specific company news.
What To Know: Tuesday&#8217;s trading volume for Siyata Mobile was exceptionally high at 125 million, far exceeding its 100-day average of 5.24 million. The recent volatility comes on the heels of a Form 6-K <a href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=102213&amp;ref=319175431&amp;type=PDF&amp;symbol=SYTA&amp;cdn=d2a8f13deefff24e4485cb6f77c8c88a&amp;companyName=Siyata+Mobile+Inc.&amp;formType=6-K&amp;formDescription=Report+of+foreign+private+issuer+pursuant+to+Rule+13a-16+or+15d-16+under+the+Securities+Exchange+Act+of+1934&amp;dateFiled=2025-05-15">filing</a> by the foreign private issuer last week.
The filing <a href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=102213&amp;ref=319175431&amp;type=PDF&amp;symbol=SYTA&amp;cdn=d2a8f13deefff24e4485cb6f77c8c88a&amp;companyName=Siyata+Mobile+Inc.&amp;formType=6-K&amp;formDescription=Report+of+foreign+private+issuer+pursuant+to+Rule+13a-16+or+15d-16+under+the+Securities+Exchange+Act+of+1934&amp;dateFiled=2025-05-15">detailed</a> Siyata Mobile&#8217;s first-quarter 2025 financial results, which included a net loss of approximately $3.79 million for the period, compared to a net loss of $2.79 million for the same period in 2024. The company&#8217;s accumulated deficit also reached $119,810,239 as of March 31.
The financial report further highlighted Siyata Mobile&#8217;s dependence on channel partners for revenue, with 57% of its first-quarter 2025 revenue originating from a single customer. The company also acknowledged material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting in recent years, though some remediation efforts have been initiated.
Siyata Mobile on Wednesday disclosed in a prospectus filing that investor Hudson Global Ventures may sell up to 11 million shares in an offering, which may be contributing to Wednesday&#8217;s pullback.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SYTA Stock</h2>

Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex.

The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, Siyata Mobile has a 52-week high of $885.58 and a 52-week low of $0.93.

Siyata Mobile Stock Is Plunging Today: What's Going On? (UPDATED)

In the face of ongoing market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty, investors are seeking more strategies that offer income and relative stability. Among those strategies that have gained significant popularity in 2024 is the utilization of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">option income ETFs</a>.
Pioneering the trend are two JPMorgan Asset Management products, the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPI#NYSE">JEPI</a>) and the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPQ#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>), that together have attracted more than $9.2 billion in new investor capital year-to-date.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/05/45528747/this-corner-of-the-etf-market-is-about-to-explode-to-2-trillion">This Corner Of The ETF Market Is About To Explode To $2 Trillion</a>
Strong Inflows and Rapid Growth
The JEPQ ETF, which was introduced only three years ago, is now among the top 20 inflowing ETFs this year, attracting $5.7 billion (this year as of April 30), according to the recent data from ETFGI. Its older cousin, JEPI, is also witnessing strong investor demand, adding $2.8 billion for the first quarter of the year, according to etf.com.
In assets under management (AUM) terms, JEPI now manages close to $40 billion, while JEPQ has reached more than $25.53 billion. This rise reflects the rising popularity of option income strategies, especially among income-hunting investors who are cautious of the stock market&#8217;s volatile rollercoaster.
Learning Option Income ETFs
JEPI and JEPQ employ a covered call strategy to earn a steady income. Essentially, these funds invest in a portfolio of stocks and then sell call options on them. The premiums from selling these call options are used as a source of income, which is passed on to investors in monthly dividends.
This strategy has a drawback: although it offers a consistent stream of cash, it may constrain upside potential. If the underlying equities strongly move higher, the call options the fund has written could limit overall returns. Nevertheless, for income-oriented investors who are not as concerned with capital appreciation, this strategy is an attractive substitute for conventional fixed-income or high-dividend equity portfolios.
Key Differences: JEPI Vs. JEPQ
Though the two funds use similar approaches, they have different market focus and portfolio composition.
JEPI invests in a carefully chosen set of U.S. large-cap stocks, mainly from the S&amp;P 500 Index. It invests in low-volatility, value-driven companies and uses environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in stock selection. JEPI also utilizes equity-linked notes (ELNs), which are debt instruments with a structured payoff based on equities, with a maximum of 20% of the fund invested in ELNs.
JEPQ, however, focuses on Nasdaq-100 Index growth-oriented companies like well-known technology giants Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>). Like JEPI, it employs ELNs to replicate a covered call portfolio and tries to provide a high yield with less volatility than the general tech-heavy index.

Investor Takeaway
The attractiveness of JEPI and JEPQ is that they can give investors consistent income without subjecting them to the full volatility of the equity markets. Although their funds might not capture the entire upside during bull markets, their potential to generate significant monthly dividends from the option premiums makes them appealing to retirees, conservative investors, and those looking to diversify portfolios.
While traditional fixed-income returns continue to suffer and equity markets remain volatile, income ETFs derived from options are rapidly becoming a popular choice, striking a balance between risk, return, and consistent dividends. For those investors wanting to ride out rough seas with a surer touch, JEPI and JEPQ are worth taking a hard look at.

UroGen Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URGN#NASDAQ">URGN</a>), a leading biotech company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, announced the outcome of today's meeting of the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which discussed the new drug application (NDA) for investigational drug UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution. By a narrow margin, the ODAC voted 4 to 5 that the benefit/risk of UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution was favorable for the treatment of recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC.
The ODAC reviewed the body of clinical data supporting the efficacy and safety of UGN-102, including the results from the Phase 3 ENVISION study. "Low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is a highly recurrent disease and often requires patients – many of whom are elderly – to undergo repeat surgeries under general anesthesia. This is a disease with high unmet needs, and we believe patients deserve more options," said Mark Schoenberg, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, UroGen. "UroGen remains committed to developing innovative treatment options to people living with recurrent LG-IR-NIMBC."
The most common treatment-emergent adverse events in the ENVISION trial were dysuria, hematuria, urinary tract infection, pollakiuria, fatigue, and urinary retention, which are typically manageable in routine urologic practice. The ENVISION trial demonstrated a similar safety profile to that observed in other studies of UGN-102.
The NDA for UGN-102 is currently under review by the FDA with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of June 13, 2025.

Unifi shares are trading higher after the company announced the sale of its manufacturing facility.

Shares of Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) are trading lower Wednesday. This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45527616/marjorie-taylor-greene-goes-shopping-for-tesla-netflix-unitedhealth-stock-here-are-the-latest-19-stocks-bought">follows Tuesday&#8217;s gain</a> of more than 4%. There is a good chance that the rally will get back into gear, and the price will move higher.
Benzinga made Dollar General our Stock of the Day because it has just broken out.
Resistance is a price or a price zone where there is a large amount of sell interest. Rallies have a tendency to pause or reverse after they reach resistance.
Stocks move lower after they reach resistance when some of the traders and investors who created the resistance start to undercut each other's prices. They know the buyers will go to whoever is willing to sell at the lowest price, and they don't want to miss the trade.
This undercutting can result in a snowball effect that pushes the price lower.
But sometimes when a stock reaches resistance the buyers eventually overpower the sellers. This forces the price above the resistance. When this happens, traders say it's a breakout.

This can be a bullish dynamic that can result in a new uptrend forming.
If the stock is above a former resistance level, it can mean that the traders who created the resistance have left the market. They have canceled or finished their orders.
This could set the stage for a move higher. When new buyers enter the market, they will have a hard time finding someone to buy shares from. As a result, they will be forced to outbid each other and pay premiums to bring sellers off of the sidelines.
This can form a new uptrend.

Dollar General is also reaching price levels that it gapped down through. When a stock closes at one price and opens at a different one, there is no trading between these two price levels, which appears as a blank space or ‘gap' on the chart.
Because there was no trading, there probably aren't many traders who have a vested interest in these levels. This means if the stock returns to them, there may not be a significant number of sellers.
To acquire shares, the buyers will have to be aggressive and force the price higher. This could result in a rapid and significant move upwards as the gap refills.

Even when excluding the extraordinary 98.5% gain in 2020, the average return remains an impressive 18%.
While Tesla's early summer trade has delivered consistent gains over the past decade, not every year was a blockbuster. 
The lowest gain occurred in 2016, when shares rose just 4.6%, and the second weakest performance came in 2017, with a 5.8% return.
Notably, intra-period drawdowns have been rather modest with only two occasions showing double-digit temporary drops. 
In 2016, Tesla saw a temporary decline of 10.7% between May 23 and July 18, while 2019 witnessed a 12.7% intraperiod drop before recovering.
Despite these pullbacks, Tesla always closed the window in positive territory, highlighting the strength and resilience of this seasonal pattern even in choppier conditions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Technical Analysis Points To Further Upside</h3>
Bank of America technical strategist Paul Ciana turned bullish on Tesla, highlighting strong momentum and a potential technical breakout:
"TSLA bottomed in the $200s with a bullish breakaway gap up into the $300s. Momentum and relative trend favor upside into the $400s. The triangle pattern still measures upwards of $700," Ciana said in a note shared Wednesday. 
With Tesla currently trading well below its all-time high of $488, the technical setup and seasonal pattern may align to offer traders a high-conviction window.
And this time, Elon Musk is back aboard.

Tesla Enters Its Most Bullish Window: This Seasonal Trade Delivered 24% Average Gain Over 10 Years

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) shares remained volatile after the company on Tuesday reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45518559/home-depot-flags-tariff-and-supply-chain-risks-in-risk-statement-but-does-not-revise-outlook">first-quarter results</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stifel On Home Depot</h1>
Analyst Andrew Carter upgraded the rating from Hold to Buy, while raising the price target from $405 to $425.
Home Depot reported "a modest headline miss," with comparable sales down 0.3% and adjusted earnings of $3.56 per share coming short of consensus of $3.59 per share, Carter said in the upgrade note. "Results included a 70 bps FX headwind, Canada below company average, and a 30 bps commodity tailwind," he wrote.
The company's comparable sales accelerated through the quarter and its April U.S. comparable sales were up nearly 2.5%, excluding Easter, the analyst stated. 
There is upside to Home Depot's reiterated full-year guidance and its performance in the year "will drive enthusiasm for HD's ability to disproportionately capitalize on a likely above trend-line home improvement category recovery," he added.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Guggenheim Securities On Home Depot</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e48c6351b9b00018beef0/steven-forbes">Analyst Steven Forbes</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $450.
Home Depot's first-quarter results were broadly in line with expectations, Forbes said. Importantly, the performance was driven by "a meaningful acceleration in comp trends," through the first quarter, from 1.3% in March to 1.8% in April, he added.
Big ticket comp transactions, or transactions of more than $1,000, rose for the second consecutive quarter, "despite continued pressure on larger discretionary projects," the analyst stated. This implies that the risk of 2025 being "another negative comp year have been reduced," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">RBC Capital Markets On Home Depot</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/61aa12038d115900012d093d/steven-shemesh">Analyst Steven Shemesh</a> maintained a Sector Perform rating and price target of $399.
Total company comp sales were down 3.6% in February, up 0.6% in March and up 1.1% in April, Shemesh said. U.S. comp sales declined by 3.3% in February and grew by 1.3% in March and by 1.8% in April, he added.
"Importantly, mgmt shared that HD U.S. comp would have been closer to +2.5% in Apr (~70 bps higher) adjusting for the Easter timing shift," the analyst wrote. While Mexico and Canada currently account for "the vast majority" of Home Depot's internationally sourced products, the company plans to shift to no single country outside the U.S. representing more than 10% of purchases, over the next 12 months, he further wrote.
HD Price Action: Shares of Home Depot had declined by 0.96% to $373.43 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Earnings Misses

Home Depot Posts Q3 Earnings Miss, But Accelerating Comp Sales Turns Analyst Bullish

HCTI

Healthcare Triangle shares are trading lower after the company reported a year-over-year decrease in Q1 sales results.

Shares of iQIYI Inc &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IQ#NASDAQ">IQ</a>) fell 7% to $1.73 on Wednesday following the release of its first-quarter earnings report.
What To Know: The Chinese streaming giant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45536725/iqiyi-announces-first-quarter-2025-financial-results">posted</a> earnings of 4 cents per share, beating analyst expectations of 3 cents per share, but earnings were down 67% from 12 cents a year ago. Revenue came in at $990.3 million, topping estimates of $973.7 million, though this marked a 10% year-over-year decline.
The company's net income <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45536725/iqiyi-announces-first-quarter-2025-financial-results">dropped sharply</a> to $25.1 million from $655.3 million last year. Operating income also fell to $47.1 million, with a margin of 5%, down from 12% in the first quarter of 2024.
Revenue from membership services and advertising dropped 8% and 10%, respectively, while content distribution revenue plunged 32%. However, the other revenue segment rose 16% year-over-year.
Despite the decline, CEO Gong Yu highlighted strong sequential revenue and profit growth, and CFO Jun Wang noted improvements in the company's capital structure. The sharp decline in year-over-year earnings and revenue appeared to weigh heavily on investor sentiment during Wednesday trading.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy IQ Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for iQIYI &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of iQIYI, which is trading at $1.69 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 59.17 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, IQ has a 52-week high of $5.10 and a 52-week low of $1.50.

IQIYI Shares Slide After Q1 Earnings: What's Going On?

Moody's downgraded U.S. debt.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/c6691328-d253-46bd-be55-a9c00e2fc666/Screenshot_2025-05-18_at_1.37.50_PM.png?t=1747589874" alt="" /></figure>
They cut America's credit rating from AAA to AA1, matching the stance already taken by S&amp;P and Fitch.
Now all three major credit rating agencies agree: the U.S. sits at&nbsp;AA+, not the pristine AAA it held for decades.
Moody's pointed to rising fiscal risk, the recent tariff escalation, and long-term uncertainty… not a lack of ability to pay, but growing concerns about sustainability.
Naturally, people panicked.
Social media lit up with 2011 flashbacks. S&amp;P's downgrade back then led to a massive correction. Others pointed to 2023, when Fitch downgraded and stocks followed with a multi-day slide.
But here's the key,&nbsp;this time is different.
Back in 2011, the downgrade&nbsp;broke&nbsp;things.
Contracts, especially those tied to collateral and treasury holdings, were written to allow&nbsp;only AAA-rated securities. So when the U.S. lost that label, institutions were forced to sell Treasuries, creating a mechanical and sudden drop.
But after that, the system adjusted. Contracts were rewritten to say&nbsp;"U.S. government securities"&nbsp;instead of requiring a specific AAA rating. The market evolved.
By 2023, when Fitch downgraded, there was no structural fallout. The 1-1.5% selloff was more about recession fears and profit-taking after a huge rally. Not credit panic.
Now it's 2025.&nbsp;Moody's is just catching up. There's no new information. The downgrade was widely expected. It doesn't change the status of Treasuries. It doesn't force institutions to sell. It just makes headlines.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/630718d4-a914-40e9-a0ea-592f09c2fa58/Screenshot_2025-05-18_at_1.38.49_PM.png?t=1747589933" alt="" /></figure>
Let's zoom out.
We just rebounded from one of the fastest bear markets since 2020. That drop wasn't about earnings, balance sheets, or credit events. It was front-running tariff fears. And those fears proved overblown. The rebound since has been aggressive.
So did this downgrade reintroduce real uncertainty?
Maybe for a minute. But the market reaction looks like headline whiplash, not a fundamental shift.
If you're bearish now, ask yourself,&nbsp;what's your edge?
Are you trading a structural change… or just reacting to the news cycle?
Selling after a 1% drop, at the tail end of a 25% rally, on&nbsp;expected news, isn't strategy. It's emotion.
And if that's your thesis? It's weak.
I'm still long. Trimmed risk where it made sense, but I'm not flipping bearish on Moody's.
The downgrade didn't surprise me. It didn't change the data. And it sure didn't break the system.
If this market rolls over, it won't be because of a recycled headline. It'll be because of rates, liquidity, or a macro curveball we haven't seen yet.
Until then, I'm sticking with the trend, and tuning out the noise.
