Shares of Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) fell 5.3% to $39.63 Thursday morning as President Donald Trump's sweeping reciprocal tariffs rattled financial markets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">heightened fears</a> of a global economic downturn.
The second-largest U.S. bank by assets is particularly vulnerable to the escalating trade tensions, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44624245/tariffs-to-plug-the-hole-for-income-tax-cuts-to-come-economists-predict-what-more-could-be-expected">rising tariffs</a> threaten economic growth, corporate lending and consumer spending—all key revenue drivers for the bank.
What To Know: Bank of America, which generates significant revenue from interest income on loans and mortgages, faces mounting concerns that the tariffs could stoke inflation while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44623179/larry-summers-warns-trumps-tariffs-will-deliver-oil-crisis-like-shock-slash-30-trillion-from-economy-as-markets-plunge">slowing economic activity</a>. Additionally, if businesses cut back on expansion due to trade uncertainty, demand for corporate credit could weaken.
Also, Bank of America's investment banking division, which earns fees from mergers, acquisitions and capital markets activity, may suffer if market volatility persists. Global trade disruptions could deter companies from pursuing major deals, further pressuring the bank's fee-based income.

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.

The company, sometimes called the Quora of China, is banking on growth from a new AI tool to improve expert-supplied answers to user questions
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Zhihu reported its first-ever profit in the fourth quarter, though its revenue fell by 25% as its marketing and education services both reported big declines</li>
<li>The knowledge-sharing platform may have found a winner in its new Zhida.ai platform, which uses AI to enhance its core Q&amp;A services</li>
</ul>
After years of searching since its founding in 2010, knowledge-sharing platform&nbsp;Zhihu Inc. (2390.HK; ZH.US) finally found an answer to its profitability challenge in last year's fourth quarter, to the delight of investors who waited more than a decade for the breakthrough.
The profit came as Zhihu became more selective about its users, forgoing less profitable ones to focus on bigger spenders. The company also held out big potential for AI to take its knowledge-sharing content to the next level, saying it is using the technology to complement answers traditionally provided by experts to user questions.
Zhihu reported a profit of 86.4 million for the quarter, reversing a net loss of 103.1 million a year earlier, despite a relatively steep 25% year-over-year revenue decline to 859.2 million yuan over that period, according to its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/zhihu-inc-reports-unaudited-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2024-financial-results-302411790.html">landmark report</a>. Its move to the black owed in part to a gross margin that improved by 3.8 percentage points to 62.9%.
The revenue plunge came as Zhihu's monthly average users fell by 18% year-on-year to 81.4 million from 99 million a year earlier, reflecting a more common theme among Chinese companies lately to focus on quality users over simply quantity. Zhihu remained in the red for the year with an annual loss of 169 million yuan, though that was a big improvement on the 840 million yuan loss a year earlier.
"The fourth quarter of 2024 was a true milestone for us, an inflection point that underscores our strategic focus and strong execution," said founder and Chairman Zhou Yuan on the company's earnings call.
Zhihu's CFO Wang Han, who took the job in February 2022, may have been an important engineer behind the move to the black. Among other things, the company managed to reduce its cost of revenue by 31.5% in the fourth quarter year-on-year, outpacing the 25% revenue decline. But he also hinted the move to the black might be temporary, saying on the call that Zhihu this year might "choose to maintain a slightly overall loss temporarily to continue pursuing and capturing the potential opportunities arising from deeper integration between Zhihu and AI."
Zhihu breaks its business down into three main areas: its paid membership and core marketing services that cater to traditional advertisers; and its newer vocational training education services. Marketing services took a big hit in the fourth quarter, plunging by about a third year-on-year to 316 million yuan, from 465 million yuan a year earlier. That decline propelled paid subscribers to its top revenue source, though even that segment fell 8% year-on-year to 420 million. Vocational training fared the worst, tumbling by about half to 84 million yuan.
Zhihu explained that the drop in market services revenue was part of a "deliberate" choice to forego some "peripheral" users and "sunsetting lower quality revenue streams".
Zhihu has frequently been compared to Quora, a U.S.-based Q&amp;A website. It's trying to take that knowledge-sharing core function to the next level with generative AI, aiming to transform its user generated content platform by delivering top-tier, verifiable data for professionals. It says such positioning differentiates it from its peers and can help attract advertisers who are always seeking the latest targeted way to reach their audience.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Tough to monetize</h4>
CFO Wang explained that Zhihu's highly knowledgeable users and in-depth content were historically difficult to monetize in a traditional internet paradigm that prioritized high traffic and lengthy user engagement more often seen in entertainment-focused platforms.
"However, in the AI era, this has been completely reversed. And now the AI large language models prioritize high-quality answers generated by top-tier experts," he said, maintaining that advertisers are increasingly focused on the quality of content and whether it turns up in AI generative engine optimization.
Zhihu started using generative AI in its business last June, when it released its first AI-based search platform, called Zhida.ai or "direct answer," which has already attracted 10 million MAUs. Zhida.ai has its own content based on input from a Zhihu community of experts together with data sources, allowing users to look for answers to their questions from individual experts, as well as data-backed sources.
As of the end of the fourth quarter, Zhihu had 71.7 million cumulative content creators or users who provide content by answering questions, and 874.6 million "pieces" of content.
Chairman Zhou said Zhihu's number of AI-focused content creators grew 50% year-over-year in the fourth quarter and included "many leading entrepreneurs and industry pioneers who engage in multi-dimensional, professional and in-depth discussions." Income-generating creators increased by 22% year-over-year, he added, with Zhihu prioritizing onboarding of high-tech content creators, including many podcasters.
Zhihu's shares jumped by 13% on Feb. 11 after it announced Zhida.ai would integrate DeepSeek's R1 model. Zhihu's share price has remained elevated since then, though it's still far from its all-time highs since its Nasdaq IPO in March 2021 and second listing in Hong Kong a year later. At its current level, the stock is still down by more than half from its Nasdaq IPO price, though the stock is up about 15% since the start of the year.
Zhou painted Zhida.ai in glowing terms on the earnings call, hoping to sell investors and analysts on the technology's potential to truly transform the company.
"We have implemented completely new ways for AI to integrate with our community," he said. "We will continue deepening this integration to amplify the impact of our expert network. And second, AI will empower many of our community workflows, boosting the efficiency of high-quality content creation and distribution. We believe this is a new beginning for us."
CFO Wang conceded that even though many people are using AI, the technology still has some credibility issues due to "hallucination problems," making real-world experts still important. He added that Zhihu is unique from other entertainment-style platforms in China as the only one with a focus on experts and professionals.
Seven analysts surveyed by Yahoo Finance share Zhou's and Wang's enthusiasm, with six rating Zhihu a "buy" or "strong buy" despite their expectation that it will return to the red this year. The stock looks undervalued by most standards, with a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 0.79, well below the 1.86 for short-video and livestreaming site&nbsp;Kuaishou&nbsp;(1024.HK), and 1.75 for search leader&nbsp;Baidu&nbsp;(BIDU.US; 9998.HK), which also counts advertising as its main revenue source. But those rivals are all profitable, and Zhihu may also need to show it can operate profitably on a consistent basis before investors value it higher.

5 Analysts Have This To Say About Yext

Adobe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NYSE">ADBE</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.39% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.20 million shares sold short, which is 1.89% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.76 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

ADBE

What Does the Market Think About Adobe?

Shares of Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) fell 3.4% to $334.42 Thursday morning following President Donald Trump's announcement of sweeping reciprocal tariffs, which economists warn could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">destabilize global trade</a> and dampen consumer spending.
The payment giant, which derives a significant portion of its revenue from cross-border transactions, saw its stock decline as investors weighed the impact of escalating trade tensions on international commerce.
What To Know: Visa, a leader in global digital payments, relies heavily on international transaction volumes, with cross-border spending accounting for <a href="https://s29.q4cdn.com/385744025/files/doc_downloads/2024/Visa-Fiscal-2024-Annual-Report.pdf">nearly 30%</a> of its total revenue. 
Analysts fear that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">retaliatory tariffs</a> from major economies like China and the European Union could lead to a slowdown in international travel and e-commerce, two key drivers of Visa's growth.
Additionally, as tariffs raise consumer prices, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44624245/tariffs-to-plug-the-hole-for-income-tax-cuts-to-come-economists-predict-what-more-could-be-expected">discretionary spending</a> could take a hit, potentially reducing transaction volumes across Visa's vast payment network. 
The broader stock market also reacted negatively, with the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NASDAQ">DIA</a>) falling some 2.9% Thursday morning, signaling concerns over the economic fallout of Trump's aggressive trade policies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy V Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Visa &#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 Visa, which is trading at $346.33 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.29 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>, V has a 52-week high of $366.54 and a 52-week low of $252.70.
