Is The Stock Market Open On Memorial Day?

Ross Stores Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROST#NASDAQ">ROST</a>) shares tanked after the company on Thursday reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45575045/workday-shares-slide-after-q1-results-q2-reveue-guidance-below-estimates">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">JPMorgan On Ross Stores</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586bcbd9351b9b0001ab738c/matthew-boss">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586bcbd9351b9b0001ab738c/matthew-boss">Matthew Boss</a> reiterated an Overweight rating, while slashing the price target from $161 to $141.
Ross Stores reported its first-quarter earnings at $1.47 per share, beating Street expectations of $1.44 per share, and flat same-store-sales growth, better than estimates of a 0.6% decline, Boss said in a note. Management indicated that same-store-sales performance improved after February and the trends suggest 3% growth in April, he added.
However, the company withdrew its full-year guidance, citing "the varying nature of tariff announcements," the analyst wrote. Management guided to earnings of $1.40-$1.55 per share for the second quarter, below consensus of $1.65 per share, he further stated.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On Ross Stores</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60eef53155f722000105d101/brooke-roach">Analyst Brooke Roach</a> maintained a Buy rating, while cutting the price target from $177 to $162.
Ross Stores reported a broad-based beat for the first quarter, outperforming on both gross and operating margins, despite tariff headwinds and higher ocean freight, Roach said. He added, however, that the positive impact was offset by weaker-than-expected guidance for the second quarter.
Management guided to comps being flat to up +3% in the quarter, but this was "more than offset by larger headwinds from tariffs," the analyst stated. "ROST expects tariffs to drive a 90bps-120bps headwind to 2Q operating margin, driving a $0.11-$0.16 drag on 2Q EPS," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Telsey Advisory Group On Ross Stores</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5888c53977f9dd0001877a22/dana-telsey">Analyst Dana Telsey</a> reaffirmed a Market Perform rating and price target of $150.
Ross Stores delivered a broad-based beat, with sales, gross margins and expenses coming in slightly better than consensus, Telsey said. Total sales grew 2.6% to $4.985 billion, beating consensus of $4.96 billion, she added.
"The comp in the quarter benefited from a larger basket size offset by weaker traffic," the analyst wrote. The company withdrew its annual guidance due to continued macro uncertainty, she further stated.
ROSS Price Action: Shares of Ross Stores had declined by 11.15% to $135.28 at publication on Friday.

Ross Stores: Solid Q1 Beat, Guidance Withdrawn On Macro Uncertainty — Analysts Cut Price Target

Shares of Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) came under pressure, despite the company Thursday reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45591404/ralph-lauren-analysts-boost-their-forecasts-after-upbeat-q4-results">upbeat fiscal fourth-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.
JPMorgan On Ralph Lauren
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586bcbd9351b9b0001ab738c/matthew-boss">Analyst Matthew Boss</a> reiterated an Overweight rating, while raising the price target from $342 to $355.
Ralph Lauren reported quarterly earnings of $2.27 per share, beating Street expectations of $2.00 per share, driven by 10.4% revenue growth in constant currency terms, which came in higher than management's 6%-7% guidance, Boss said in a note. The company's adjusted gross margins expanded by 210 basis points (bps) to 68.7%, he added.
Management indicated that there has not been "any slowdown in any region globally to date through May," without even a single cancelation from any wholesale partner, the analyst stated. The company's preliminary fiscal 2026 guidance "embeds a 100bp+ headwind from tariffs by our math," he further wrote.

Goldman Sachs On Ralph Lauren
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60eef53155f722000105d101/brooke-roach">Analyst Brooke Roach</a> maintained a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $262 to $324.
Ralph Lauren delivered a "broad-based" beat in the quarter on the back of "continued brand momentum, product execution, and margin delivery," Roach said. The results were healthy, especially given elevated expectations, he added.
Management's fiscal 2026 outlook calls for low-single-digit ex-FX growth, with first-quarter guidance ahead of expectations and some operating margin expansion, the analyst stated. "Within this, the company is taking a more cautious view on 2H amidst macro uncertainty and potential tariff-related pressures, particularly in North America," he further wrote.
Telsey Advisory Group On Ralph Lauren
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5888c53977f9dd0001877a22/dana-telsey">Analyst Dana Telsey</a> reaffirmed an Outperform rating and price target of $315.
Ralph Lauren's earnings beat was driven by strong sales and gross margins, Telsey said. The company generated comps growth and operating margin expansion across all three regions, she added.
Management's first-quarter revenue guidance came in ahead of current expectations, despite macro uncertainty, the analyst stated. "We continue to believe that RL has the right strategies in place to deliver topline growth off a stronger foundation with gross margin leverage and expanding operating margins while continuing to invest in the long-term health of the business," she further wrote.
RL Price Action: Shares of Ralph Lauren had declined by 1.19% to $274.12 at the time of publication on Friday.

Billionaire Elon Musk might be heading to the movie theater in the future with one of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/44828976/minecraft-box-office-success-could-see-more-adaptations-elon-musk-wants-this-video-game-movie-next">favorite video games </a>of all time getting the live-action movie treatment.
What Happened: Musk has often praised "Elden Ring," a video game developed by FromSoftware and released by Bandai Namco Entertainment (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCBDY#OTC">NCBDY</a>) as one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/08/33610477/elon-musk-lover-of-video-games-has-praise-for-this-record-breaking-title-and-its-not-elden-ring">best games ever made.</a>
Released in 2022, the role-playing action video game will soon get the big-screen movie treatment with a live-action movie produced by Bandai Namco and A24.
"We're thrilled to announce that Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and A24 are teaming up with writer and director Alex Garland to bring FromSoftware Inc.'s world-renowned video game ELDEN RING to life as a live-action film," Bandai Namco said in a <a href="https://x.com/BandaiNamcoUS/status/1925699586640707708">tweet</a>.
The film will be directed and written by Alex Garland, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/alex-garland-elden-ring-movie-a24-1236407385/">Variety</a>. Garland has written and directed several films for A24 <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0307497/">including </a>"Warfare," "Civil War" and "Ex Machina."
"Civil War" grossed $69 million domestically and $127 million worldwide. "Ex Machina" won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and saw Garland nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Garland also wrote the book "The Beach" in 1996, which was later turned into a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Garland was also a writer for "28 Days Later" and has worked on writing several video games, including "Devil May Cry."

<li>Stay in the know with our Insider Trades page — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/">see when leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jensen Huang are offloading their own shares.</a></li>
</ul>
Why It's Important: "Elden Ring" has shipped more than 30 million units worldwide since launching.
The game has been praised for its storytelling, with Hidetaka Miyazaki directing it and the writer of the "Game of Thrones" novel helping to write the backstory.
"Elden Ring" won numerous awards including "Game of the Year" at the 2022 Game Awards.
A spinoff of the game, "Elden Ring Nightreign," will be released on May 30. The game is a co-op survival game that will be a standalone and not DLC for the existing game.
With the success of "Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Minecraft," movie studios and streaming companies are increasingly targeting existing video game franchises that have built-in stories and fan bases that can be adopted into live-action or animated TV series or films.
Musk previously responded to former&nbsp;Blizzard Entertainment&nbsp;executive&nbsp;Mark Kern, also known as&nbsp;Grummz, who shared a post from GamesIndustry suggesting more video game adaptations are likely coming.
&#8220;Just like comics were in the past, the rich history of video games is now the wellspring of creative storytelling,&#8221; Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1911978724905431227" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tweeted</a>.
One X user suggested that they should make a movie based on &#8220;Elden Ring&#8221; next.
&#8220;That would be awesome,&#8221; Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1911979256730570887" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">replied</a>.
With the latest announcement confirming that an "Elden Ring" movie is in the works, Musk has received his wish.
As the most followed person on X and the world's richest individual, adapting Musk's favorite video game into a movie could be a big task as he will likely serve as a very vocal supporter or critic of the film.
A positive review from Musk after seeing the film could go a long way toward helping the box office success, while a poor review could keep video game fans away from the film. Maybe Musk can get a cameo in the film like he did in Iron Man 2.

Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) shares are trading higher Friday as part of a broad rally in uranium and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/05/45587750/uranium-stocks-surge-trumps-nuclear-push-sparks-double-digit-gains">nuclear-related stocks. </a>
What To Know: The move comes after reports indicating President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders aimed at revitalizing the U.S. nuclear energy industry.
Trump plans to invoke the Defense Production Act to declare a national emergency over the United States' dependence on foreign uranium. The executive actions are expected to direct federal agencies to fast-track nuclear energy projects in a bid to strengthen domestic supply chains and energy security.
The renewed focus on nuclear power comes amid growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centers, which require substantial and reliable energy sources. Investors are betting that nuclear power will play a bigger role in meeting that demand, driving up both uranium prices and the value of companies involved in nuclear development.
Oklo, a developer of advanced fission reactors, was among the biggest gainers alongside peers such as Nano Nuclear Energy, Uranium Energy Corp and Energy Fuels. The entire uranium sector benefited from speculation that increased government support could accelerate deployment and commercialization of next-generation nuclear technologies.
The Global X Uranium ETF (URA), which tracks a basket of uranium producers and component manufacturers, also gained significantly, highlighting widespread investor optimism about the sector's outlook under a pro-nuclear policy shift.
OKLO Price Action: Oklo shares were up 24.9% at $49.60 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

President Trump Says Making Announcement On Nuclear Energy

Truist Securities analyst Brian Foran maintains American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $315 to $335.

Truist Securities Maintains Buy on American Express, Raises Price Target to $335

BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a Buy rating on NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a $160 price target on Thursday.
Arya updated his fiscal first quarter outlook following supply chain insights, investor discussions and Nvidia&#8217;s remarks at the recent Computex trade show, particularly concerning the U.S. ban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nvidia">on H20 sales to China.</a>
He highlighted a disconnect between Nvidia's stated $15 billion in lost China sales, the revised fiscal 2026 (calendar 2025) sales estimate of $10 billion–$12 billion and the more conservative $3.8 billion in consensus revisions. Depending on China shipment timing, this could amplify to a $4 billion–$5 billion headwind in the fiscal second quarter.
Gross margin recovery remains a key focus. Arya looks for management confidence in restoring margins to the mid-70s in the second half, driven by Blackwell ramp-up and rack-level product yields.

Despite these near-term headwinds, Arya considers Nvidia as a top sector pick, citing its unique position in global AI deployment and potential China sales rebound through redesigned, compliant products later in the year.
For the fiscal first quarter, Arya expects a modest beat versus Nvidia's $43 billion guidance and consensus of $43.4 billion. However, the $5.5 billion H20-related inventory write-off may pull gross margins to ~58%, below the 71% guide. He forecasts adjusted EPS at 74 cents, under the consensus of 88 cents. No material H20 impact is expected in the first quarter.
Fiscal second quarter consensus has dropped from $48 billion (pre H20 ban) to $46.4 billion, with investor expectations closer to $45 billion–$46 billion. Current models only reflect a ~$2 billion H20 headwind, which may be optimistic if early-year sales were front-loaded.
By comparison, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) estimated 47% of its $1.5 billion China impact would hit in the second quarter. Applying that ratio to Nvidia&#8217;s $15 billion China headwind implies a $7 billion second quarter hit, potentially dropping sales guidance to $41 billion, well below consensus. This would imply an adjusted EPS of ~85 cents, 16% below estimates.
Looking further ahead, Arya estimates the $15 billion China sales headwind could bring fiscal 2026 revenue down to $190 billion, 6% below consensus, and adjusted EPS to $3.93, 10% below the current $4.38, or 14% below the pre-ban $4.56 consensus.
A potential upside could from a faster non-China Blackwell ramp as Nvidia accelerates testing of its move back to &#8220;Bianca&#8221; compute boards from the prior decision to move to &#8220;Cordelia&#8221; boards for GB300 GPU.
NVDA Price Action:&nbsp;Nvidia stock is trading lower by 0.76% to $131.82 at publication on Friday.

<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.

<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.
