Shares of ProShares UltraPro QQQ (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TQQQ#NASDAQ">TQQQ</a>) surged 3.24% to $74.48 Friday afternoon as investors cheered stronger-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45820223/stocks-rally-on-strong-jobs-numbers-tesla-rebounds-as-trump-musk-feud-softens-whats-driving-markets-friday">U.S. labor data</a> and a broad rally in tech stocks.
What To Know: TQQQ is a leveraged ETF designed to deliver three times the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index, making it especially sensitive to movements in high-growth tech names.
May&#8217;s nonfarm payrolls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45812372/us-labor-markets-defies-tariff-concerns-as-nonfarm-payrolls-wages-top-expectations-in-may">increased</a> by 139,000, topping economist forecasts of 130,000, while average hourly earnings rose 0.4%, the fastest monthly gain since January.

Climb Bio shares are trading higher after Oppenheimer initiated its coverage on the stock with a Outperform rating and announced a price target of $10.

Wall Street analysts responded to Ciena Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) second-quarter financial results on Thursday.
Ciena reported a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45790736/ciena-stock-slides-after-q2-eps-miss-margin-drop-despite-strong-sales" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly revenue growth</a> of 23.6% to $1.13 billion, beating the&nbsp;analyst consensus&nbsp;estimate of $1.09 billion.
The American telecommunications networking equipment and software services supplier reported an adjusted EPS of 42 cents,&nbsp;which missed the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate&nbsp;of 52 cents.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45779192/ciena-ai-ambitions-face-margin-math-marvell-ous-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ciena Set To Beat Q2 Estimates But AI Ambitions Face Margin Math And Marvell-ous Rivals</a>
The adjusted gross margin declined by 250 bps to 41%, and the adjusted operating margin increased by 140 bps to 8.2%.
Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese maintained Ciena <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CIEN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a Neutral</a> and lowered the price target from&nbsp;$85&nbsp;to&nbsp;$78.
Needham analyst Ryan Koontz reiterated Ciena with a Buy and a $90&nbsp;price target.
Rosenblatt: Genovese noted his Ciena preview was accurate since he expected increased revenue guidance. However, he was worried about margins because of customer and product mix and the time it could take to achieve the mid-40s gross margin and mid-teens operating margin targets.
The analyst said the gross margin was light because of a heavy sales mix of new line systems, which tend to get filled with high-margin cards later and 400ZR pluggable. The good news is that higher revenues appear sustainable.
Genovese said Cloud and Service Provider DCI markets can drive multi-year growth above 8% to 11%. The analyst noted Ciena will likely increase its multi-year revenue growth above this range before the end of fiscal 2025. He said the company has also won its first two Datacom Campus deals, including one likely to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with revenues slated to begin in 2026.
As per Genovese, the read for Datacom companies, like Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>), is positive since Cloud capex is substantial and the 1.6+T Datacom products Ciena is moving over the next few years are expected to be good for the gross margins. 
The read is also positive for Telecom- and DCI-exposed names, like Viavi Solutions (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIAV#NASDAQ">VIAV</a>), Ribbon Communications (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBBN#NASDAQ">RBBN</a>) and ADTRAN Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADTN#NASDAQ">ADTN</a>), since Telecom demand is strong and Ciena&#8217;s gross margins issues are company-specific, the analyst said.
For Ciena, he sought signs that margins are sustainably improving before potentially becoming more constructive in his rating.
Genovese projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $4.58 billion (prior $4.41 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.24 (prior $2.43).
Needham: Ciena reported mixed fiscal second-quarter results, with revenue and adjusted EPS +3% and -10 cents versus consensus, and fiscal second-half guidance reflects meaningfully higher revenue growth but lower gross margin and EPS than expected.
Fiscal second-quarter strength in Cloud (+88% Y/Y) drove the outperformance and strong bookings (B2B &gt; 1), but new products that carry lower gross margins are increasing in mix faster than expected, the analyst said. 
Increased tariff costs also impact gross profit by ~$10 million per quarter, which he feared could worsen given uncertainties.
Koontz noted the stock pullback as a buying opportunity for a company with the industry&#8217;s best technology and customer relationships. The analyst expects Ciena to benefit from continued share gains and is enthused about emerging intra-data center opportunities in fiscal 2027, although less bullish on Switching and Broadband.
Koontz projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $4.57 billion (prior $4.44 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.25 (prior $2.58).
CIEN Price Action: CIEN stock is up 0.22% at $73.29 at publication on Friday.

Aemetis shares are trading higher after Ascendiant Capital maintained its Buy rating on the stock and raised the price target from $19 to $20.

Shares of Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RXRX#NASDAQ">RXRX</a>) are trading higher after the company, in collaboration with MIT, announced the release of Boltz-2, a new open-source AI model designed to predict molecular binding affinity with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g45814396/mit-and-recursion-release-boltz-2-next-generation-ai-model-to-predict-binding-affinity-at-unpreced">unmatched speed and accuracy. </a>
What To Know: The model, which outperforms previous tools including AlphaFold3 and Recursion's own Boltz-1, is built to advance drug discovery by significantly accelerating early-stage molecular screening.
Boltz-2 is the first biomolecular foundation model to jointly predict molecular structure and binding affinity in a single framework. It approaches the precision of traditional physics-based free energy perturbation calculations while operating up to 1,000 times faster. This drastic increase in efficiency makes large-scale virtual screening more practical, reducing costs and removing a key bottleneck in identifying viable drug candidates.
The model was trained on Recursion's NVIDIA-powered BioHive-2 supercomputer and incorporates roughly five million binding affinity measurements. It also introduces more realistic simulations and greater control features for researchers. Recursion emphasized that the tool is fully open-source under an MIT license, allowing academic and commercial teams alike to use and adapt it freely.
The strong market reaction reflects investor optimism that Boltz-2 will give Recursion a competitive edge in the pharmaceutical AI space, where speed and predictive power are crucial for drug development success. The collaboration with MIT also reinforces Recursion's position at the intersection of advanced computing and biomedical research.
RXRX Price Action: Recursion Pharmaceuticals shares were up 18.4% at $5.41 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Recursion Pharmaceuticals Stock Surges On Breakthrough AI Model Launch With MIT

As global growth forecasts dim and trade tensions rattle markets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-dividend-stocks-to-buy-and-hold">high-dividend stocks</a> are stealing the spotlight. The OECD just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45752680/global-growth-forecast-cut-taco-and-blind-money-support-the-stock-market">slashed its U.S. GDP outlook</a> to 1.6% for 2025 from 2.2%, citing persistent policy uncertainty and trade friction. 
That's prompted investors to sharply pivot toward dividend payers—names that offer predictable income when price action gets erratic.
In an environment where the S&amp;P 500 <a href="https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-dividend-yield/table/by-year">yields</a> a tepid 1.28%, cash-generating stalwarts with robust balance sheets and fat dividends are in high demand. Historically, dividend-paying stocks have outpaced non-payers by more than 2x in average annual returns, and June 2025 is shaping up to be no exception.

Here are three high-yield stocks &#8211; and one ETF &#8211; that are standing out in this market:
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Realty Income Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) – Yield: 5.77%</h2>
The monthly payout machine continues to deliver, with 659 straight dividend checks and a rock-solid 75% AFFO payout ratio. 
Realty Income's <a href="https://www.realtyincome.com/sites/realty-income/files/2025-05/Quarterly_Investor_Presentation-Q1_2025.pdf">$23 billion</a> in first-quarter acquisition opportunities and A-rated credit make it a defensive pick as tariff negotiations linger.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>) – Yield: 6.89%</h2>
Energy's volatility hasn't fazed this pipeline operator. Its fee-based model and <a href="https://ir.enterpriseproducts.com/news-releases/news-release-details/enterprise-reports-first-quarter-2025-earnings">$6 billion</a> in 2025 projects support a generous yield, without the commodity price drama. A steady cash-flow engine for income seekers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">OneMain Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMF#NYSE">OMF</a>) – Yield: 8.02%</h2>
With a 9.69% gain over the past month alone, OneMain Holdings blends high yield with capital appreciation. Its strong balance sheet gives investors confidence amid uncertain economic signals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) – Yield: 3.96%</h2>
Prefer a hands-off approach? 
SCHD offers a diversified path to income with a 4% yield and holdings boasting 8.4% dividend growth over the past five years. It's a popular pick for those avoiding stock-specific risk.
As markets climb but face lingering macro uncertainty, income-focused strategies are staging a strong comeback. For investors looking to shield their portfolios while still collecting steady cash, these dividend leaders offer exactly that &#8211; without needing to call the market&#8217;s next move.

Trader Notes: Renowned analyst Byzantine General <a href="https://x.com/ByzGeneral/status/1931031497852522703">believes</a> Bitcoin may be setting up a major bear trap, currently testing diagonal resistance. 
He highlights that Friday's price action will be pivotal, a breakout could confirm the trap, while a rejection might reinforce bearish sentiment.
Crypto Caesar observed that Bitcoin has bounced cleanly from a previously marked support level, a positive sign, but warns that volatility is far from over as uncertainty lingers.

Meanwhile, Rekt Capital <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1931046546717786262">sees</a> the current retest holding, which he considers a short-term bullish signal, though he urges traders to wait for confirmation before acting decisively.
Daan Crypto Trades <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1930996686073090475">projects</a> a ranging market in the coming weeks, following Bitcoin's strong start to the month. With BTC hovering near the mid-range and monthly open at $104,600, he outlines two key scenarios:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Breakout above range highs → signals continuation of the uptrend, with new all-time highs on the table.</li>
<li>Drop below ~$100,000 (Thursday's low) → confirms breakdown and likely extends weakness for another 1–2 weeks.</li>
</ul>
His base case is more sideways action, and he emphasizes caution to avoid getting caught in fakeouts.

Shares of HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIVE#NASDAQ">HIVE</a>) surged 9.89% to $2.00 Friday afternoon after the company announced an operational achievement in its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining capacity.
What To Know: The Vancouver-based firm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/45807768/hive-digital-technologies-achieves-58-peak-hashrate-growth-in-one-month-surpasses-10-ehs-in-may-202">reported</a> a 58% increase in peak hash rate in May, reaching 10.4 exahash per second (EH/s), up from 6.6 EH/s in April. HIVE now exceeds 1% of the global Bitcoin network hashrate.
The growth was largely driven by the activation of a 100 MW hydro-powered facility in Paraguay, bolstering HIVE&#8217;s position in sustainable digital infrastructure. With operations spanning nine time zones and five languages, HIVE uses 100% renewable hydroelectric power across its data centers.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy HIVE Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for HIVE Digital Technologies &#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 HIVE Digital Technologies, which is trading at $2.0 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 50.0 shares of stock.
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">Benzinga Pro</a>, HIVE has a 52-week high of $5.54 and a 52-week low of $1.26.

The stock opened at $69, more than double its $31 IPO price, giving the company an initial valuation of $6.9 billion.
What To Know: Circle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45782777/circle-announces-pricing-of-upsized-initial-public-offering">raised</a> approximately $1.1 billion by offering 34 million Class A shares, including 14.8 million from the company and 19.2 million from selling shareholders.

This IPO marks a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45800399/circle-surges-to-69-in-nyse-debut-raising-1-1b-as-investors-bet-on-stablecoins-going-mainstream">milestone</a> for Circle after a failed SPAC attempt in 2021. The listing comes amid broader market caution, with many firms issuing conservative guidance as earnings season ends. However, Circle's USDC, a dollar-backed stablecoin, is seeing rising demand for use in digital payments, cross-border transactions and treasury operations.
Analysts cite growing regulatory clarity in the U.S. and a recent Deutsche Bank <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45800399/circle-surges-to-69-in-nyse-debut-raising-1-1b-as-investors-bet-on-stablecoins-going-mainstream">report</a> predicting stablecoins are nearing mainstream adoption. Circle's debut is being viewed not just as a tech IPO, but as a key step in the integration of stablecoins into global finance.

Circle (CRCL) Stock Surges After Successful IPO Debut: What's Going On?

A feud between Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump escalated Thursday with comments made in interviews and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">across social media.</a>
The fight sent shares of Tesla lower Thursday and the stock could go lower with the potential for Trump to harm the electric vehicle sector and the company.
What Happened: Musk's opposition to the "Big Beautiful Bill" saw Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">accuse the Tesla CEO</a> of only speaking out in opposition due to the bill hurting EV tax credits and his own company.
A series of back-and-forth messages on social media saw some attacks against Tesla and the government and some personal attacks.
"This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted. The President is focused on passing the historic piece of legislation and making our country great again," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Benzinga when asked for comment on some tweets made by Musk.
Tesla stock posted its biggest one-day market capitalization fall on Thursday, with investors worried about the damage the fight could cause to Musk-related companies.
Trump threatened to pull government subsidies related to SpaceX and already planned to remove EV tax credits, which could harm Tesla and the overall electric vehicle sector. Here's a look at some of the areas that could be impacted.
Robotaxi Concerns: Given Trump&#8217;s past opposition to autonomous vehicles, or robotaxis, one area that could be closely watched now is the future of these vehicles.
Hours before Musk unveiled the Tesla Cybercab in California on Oct. 10, 2024, Trump spoke at the Detroit Economic Club and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41298125/maybe-musk-missed-the-memo-trumps-plan-to-ban-autonomous-vehicles-could-sour-friendship" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">took on autonomous vehicles.</a>
&#8220;Do you like autonomous? Does anybody like an autonomous vehicle? Know what that is? Right? When you see a car driving along? Some people do, I don&#8217;t know. A little concerning to me, but the autonomous vehicles we&#8217;re going to stop from operating on American roads," Trump said.
Trump&#8217;s comments came despite his growing friendship with Musk, who had been campaigning for him in the 2024 election.
After once threatening to ban autonomous vehicles in America, Trump appeared to have had a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42046316/trump-set-to-hand-musk-golden-path-for-tesla-after-reversing-course-on-autonomous-vehicle-ban">change of heart </a>and eased restrictions on self-driving vehicles. The reversal could help Tesla in its push to expand FSD and bring robotaxis to the market.
With Tesla set to launch its robotaxi service in Texas next week, all eyes will be on Trump to see if he reverses course again on the issue.

Tesla Brand Damage: Tesla has suffered from brand damage in the last year. A series of protests took on the EV company, and some owners traded in their vehicles due to Musk's political push.
Previously appealing to fans of clean energy initiatives and Silicon Valley investors, Tesla appeared to change its target demographic with Trump supporters and MAGA (Make America Great Again) fans buying Tesla vehicles to show support for Musk and his backing of the president.
With a feud between Trump and Musk now escalated, Trump fans might be the last people who want to buy a Tesla vehicle.
A <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/06/us-news/trump-wants-to-sell-tesla-he-bought-to-support-for-elon-musk-white-house/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost_business&amp;utm_medium=social">report </a>on Friday from the New York Post said Trump is planning to sell or give away the red Tesla Model S he bought on the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/03/44289061/why-trumps-new-tesla-wont-be-hitting-the-open-road"> White House lawn </a>in a show of public support for Musk and Tesla at the time, as the brand saw several violent attacks against stores and vehicles.
While Trump can not drive the vehicle due to presidential rules, he said he would leave it on the White House lot for staff use.
Trump selling his Tesla vehicle could be negative for the EV company and show that his support for it has been withdrawn.
Other Areas: In addition to the above-mentioned items, Trump's plan to end the $7,500 EV tax credit will hurt Tesla and the sector.
Musk has been supportive of ending this incentive and analysts say it could actually help the company and crush Tesla's rivals in the sector.
The Tesla CEO and his companies have been under past and current investigations by many government organizations including the SEC and DOJ. While working with the government through the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk replaced the leaders at some of the organizations that investigate and regulate his companies.
The rift between Musk and Trump could lead to a return of investigations against the CEO and his companies.
Musk and his SpaceX company have received government contracts in the past and those could come under question, as Trump seemed to signal in one social media post. Trump said government subsidies and contracts that help Musk could be terminated to save billions of dollars. Musk indicated that he could end the SpaceX Dragon program, which has brought astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
SpaceX's Starlink was also in talks to secure deals with the FAA and is a major player in providing internet in humanitarian efforts and international conflict areas like Ukraine. The battle between Trump and Musk could put into question whether Trump could try to block Musk's efforts.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock is up 5.8% to $301.09 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $167.41 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 20.7% year-to-date in 2025, with shares falling over 12% in the last five days.

Trump Vs. Musk: President Selling His Tesla — Is Targeting Robotaxis Next?

JPMorgan analyst Pinjalim Bora lowered the price forecast for Braze, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRZE#NASDAQ">BRZE</a>) from $45 to $47, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRZE/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">while retaining an Overweight rating</a>.
On Thursday, the company posted quarterly earnings of seven cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of five cents per share and sales of $162.06 million, which beat the analyst consensus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45817048/braze-analysts-slash-their-forecasts-after-q1-earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimate of $158.66 million</a>.
Braze lowered its FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance from 31 cents to 35 cents, but raised its FY2026 sales outlook from $686 million-$691 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $702 million-$706 million</a>.
The analyst notes that Braze began the year well, with all metrics exceeding guidance, though the company guidance added some noise as layered in a recent acquisition.
Bora writes that Braze noted global trade concerns haven&#8217;t materially impacted deal cycles, observing broad strength across industries and good momentum in the Americas and EMEA.
While full-year revenue guidance increased, full-year operating margins reset ~300bps lower post-acquisition, incorporating OfferFit&#8217;s full <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45733611/braze-completes-acquisition-of-offerfit">cost profile, adds the analyst</a>.
Though investors might be cautious about this temporary deviation from margin expansion, the analyst views OfferFit as a strategic long-term move.
Overall, Bora remains encouraged by these results and Braze&#8217;s long-term prospects as it continues to out-innovate peers by redefining the marketing tech stack and solidifying its role as a critical first-party data provider.
The analyst slashed adjusted EPS estimates to 17 cents (from 36 cents) for FY26 and 40 cents (from 61 cents) for FY27.
BRZE Price Action: Braze shares are down 18.06% at $29.58 at publication on Friday.
