Canada Goose Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOS#NYSE">GOOS</a>) shares are surging Wednesday after the company reported better-than-expected results for the fourth quarter. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45538062/canada-goose-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-fiscal-2025-results">of the report</a>.
Q4 Earnings: Canada Goose reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of 384.6 million Canadian dollars ($267.92 million), beating analyst estimates, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of CA$0.33 per share, which also beat analyst estimates.
Total revenue was up 7.4% year-over-year, and inventory declined 14% year-over-year. Direct-to-consumer revenue was up 15.7% to CA$314.1 million, while Wholesale revenue fell 23.2% to CA$31.8 million. 
&#8220;Our strong&nbsp;Q4&nbsp;results show the kind of impact Canada Goose can make when our brand connects and our strategy hits the mark,&#8221; said Dani Reiss, chairman and CEO of Canada Goose. 
&#8220;We saw solid DTC comparable sales growth, fueled by compelling storytelling, sharp retail execution, and the continued momentum around our Snow Goose capsule. As we close out fiscal 2025, we are making clear strides across our key priorities – enhancing retail execution, elevating our brand and product offering, and delivering it all, efficiently.&#8221;
Canada Goose did not provide forward guidance, citing ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and dynamic consumer spending patterns brought on by an unpredictable global trade environment.

Canada Goose Stock Soars On 'Strong' Q4 Earnings, Company Holds Back Guidance Due To 'Macroeconomic Uncertainty'

Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya maintained a Buy rating on Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $130</a> on Tuesday.
The company benefits from continued Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) CPU share gains in server and PC, a rising tide in AI with higher content from upcoming rack-scale pipeline, along with related Middle East $10 billion multi-year contracts, and cyclical recovery, the analyst noted.
Arya&#8217;s segment analysis shows:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>EPS power of $6.44 and $8.52 in the calendar year 2026 and 2027, or 15% and 20% above the Street consensus</li>
<li>A breadth of ownership across large-cap US active fund managers falling to only ~23% (versus May 2024 peak of 40%+ ownership)</li>
<li>Relative weightage versus SPX of only 0.2 times (versus a peak of 0.8 times year-on-year), as per the analyst&#8217;s BofA strategy data.</li>
</ul>
Valuation at just 20 times and 16 times PE on current calendar year 2026 and 2027 consensus (or 18 times and 13 times PE on Arya&#8217;s EPS power scenario) seems too compelling for a high-quality compute franchise with consistent management execution capable of growing topline 20%+ and adjusted EPS 30%+ for the next few years as per Arya.

The analyst also flagged AMD&#8217;s recent $6 billion addition to its buyback program.
Even though Arya expects Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) (80%+ share) and custom chips (10-15% share) to dominate, he noted AMD could be a credible 3%-4% share of the over $300 billion-$400 billion TAM in AI accelerator.
He said many customers have significant internal workloads and compute requirements for internal teams, and AMD can play an essential role.
Arya noted that the company&#8217;s recent acquisitions of rack-scale systems and improved software position it well, and it has received several public recognitions at Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), xAI, and others.
He expects AMD to showcase an impressive set of partners and AI pipeline across accelerators, systems, software, CPU, and networking at its upcoming June 12 AI event.
Overall, Arya noted potential upside in each of the following end markets Data Center CPU, Data Center GPU, Client/PC CPU, Gaming Consoles, and Embedded for an aggregate sales upside of ~$6.6 billion by calendar year 2027.
Price Action:&nbsp;AMD stock traded higher by 1.76% to $115.46 at Wednesday&#8217;s last check.

JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers reiterated the Neutral rating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Target Corporation</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) on Wednesday.</a>
Today, Target registered first-quarter sales of $23.85 billion (down 2.8% year over year), which missed the Street view of $24.32 billion.
The retail giant lowered its FY2025 adjusted EPS guidance from $8.80–$9.80 to $7.00–$9.00.

Following Target&#8217;s earnings release, analyst Horvers noted that first-quarter comps and EPS aligned with bearish expectations, while the full-year guidance cut met expectations at the lower end of the range.
The analyst pointed out that weak comp performance and a gross margin miss, along with an 11% year-over-year increase in inventory, played into the bear case.
However, the updated full-year outlook appeared more favorable at the higher end, with bears generally expecting EPS between $7 and $8. Meanwhile, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/target-tgt-q1-2025-earnings.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlighted </a>in a report that Target cited discretionary spending pressure tied to tariff uncertainty and recent DEI-related announcements.
Horvers emphasized that the elevated inventory levels in discretionary categories remain a key concern, especially considering how markdowns will impact both revenue and margins.
The degree of promotional activity required to clear inventory remains a critical variable, particularly as Target was seen as the most negatively positioned name in his coverage universe going into the print.
He also noted that the stock closed yesterday trading at 14x the low end of guidance, while bears argue for a 12x multiple.
Price Action: TGT shares are trading lower by 3.76% to $94.42 at last check Wednesday.

Analysts break down the potential impact of new products and features from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) on the stock following the company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45537306/google-unveils-total-reimagining-of-search-with-chatbot-style-feature-to-compete-with-openai"> I/O developer conference</a>.
The Alphabet Analysts: Citizens analyst Andrew Boone maintained a Market Perform rating on Alphabet with no price target.
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth reiterated an Overweight rating with a $195 price target.
Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan reiterated a Buy rating with a $200 price target.

Citizens on GOOGL: The I/O conference showed that artificial intelligence is improving every part of Google and the company's digital consumer experience, Boone said in a new investor note.
"I/O offers a glimpse into the future of AI-powered digital user experiences as AI advancements are driving more synthesization of information, agentic actions that are automating more of the consumer purchase journey," Boone said.
The analyst said new experiences like real-time translation and media creation could help Alphabet in its AI journey.
"We view AI as a tailwind for all forms of digital consumptions including media, commerce and services."
Boone said the concern is that competition for search is increasing and the U.S. search anti-trust trial is an overhang on Alphabet. The analyst said ChatGPT could be taking market share away.
"We believe commercial queries remain with Google, but the habituation of users to a different search experience should worry Google."
The analyst said Google is quickly rolling out its AI Mode, but its search business and revenue still face headwinds over the next few years.
"We believe shares are fairly valued at current levels."
JPMorgan on GOOGL: The Google I/O conference has Anmuth feeling "incrementally positive" about Alphabet.
"We believe Google is leading in many areas of AI with Gemini at the top of foundational model leaderboards," Anmuth said.
The analyst said Google's product innovation is "accelerating" and new products and experiences are being launched faster than ever.
"We believe Google's ‘total reimagining of search' is taking shape as AI Mode integrates what have been somewhat disparate AI products."
Anmuth said the road ahead is competitive, but Google shows confidence it can "navigate the shift to AI Search."
The analyst said AI Overviews, which were announced at I/O in 2024, have scaled to more than 1.5 billion monthly users and are driving improved satisfaction and engagement. Anmuth said AI Mode could have a similar impact on Google's search business.
"We believe Alphabet's fundamentals are solid and the company will remain both a driver of and primary beneficiary of an increasingly digital economy &amp; advances in Generative AI."
Goldman Sachs on GOOGL: The company's I/O keynote showed acceleration in AI innovation, Sheridan said in a new investor note.
"Building off its AI progress over the past several years, Google's I/O Keynote showcased a number of new products, services and features across its suite of products," Sheridan said.
The analyst said the new AI progress in shown across many business lines and could point to the company's long-term vision of having Gemini AI capabilities into many user experiences across consumer and enterprise services.
Sheridan said Google's event and the launch of AI Mode comes with investors having more fear about the potential disruption of traditional search from the rise of AI.
"These innovations showcase how the company is well-positioned across a wide array of form factors &amp; user interfaces that cover how AI-powered search may evolve over time."
The analyst said Alphabet is a leader in the AI and machine learning space.
"We came away from the keynote presentation increasingly constructive on Alphabet's long-term strategic positioning across many end-markets."
GOOGL Price Action: Alphabet stock is up 4.61% to $171.50 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $140.53 to $207.05. Alphabet stock is down 9.3% year-to-date and down around 3% over the last year.

Alphabet 'Well Positioned' For Google Search Dominance: Analyst Says Can 'Navigate The Shift To AI Search'

Jayendra Jog, co-founder of Sei Labs (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">SEI</a>), believes the politicization of crypto in the United States is beginning to fade and that as the industry matures, support from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45474041/trump-administration-has-been-amazing-for-crypto-industry-bitcoin-ready-to-go-to-130000-galaxy-ceo-says">both sides of the aisle will become the norm</a>.
What Happened: "My intuition here is that as time progresses, crypto will become more and more mainstream, which means it'll become less and less of a partisan issue," Jog said in an interview with Benzinga.
He pointed to recent bipartisan developments like the advancement of the Stablecoin Act in the Senate, which required Democratic support to pass. 
"We're kind of seeing this with the stablecoin act as well… I think generally speaking, the trajectory that I'm seeing is that all politicians want America to win."
Jog framed crypto, alongside AI, as part of a technological arms race that will define the next wave of economic and geopolitical leadership. 
"From a technical side, crypto will help any country that is able to become a first mover. Just like the internet helped the U.S. retain hegemony in the early 2000s, today it's crypto and AI," he said.
As a result, he expects the Democratic party to eventually shed its more adversarial stance. "I do think that the further we go in the future and the more legitimacy crypto is able to establish… there will be more and more support from the Democrats as well."

Why It Matters: Jog attributed Democratic skepticism to concerns over fraud and lack of regulatory clarity, both of which he believes are solvable.
"One of the things that a lot of Democrats have been concerned about is the kind of fraud that's been happening through crypto. If we're able to cut that down by having clear regulation, that'll make a lot more Democrats supportive," he said.
Among the bills he sees as critical is the proposed Market Structure Bill, which aims to define how cryptocurrencies are regulated in the U.S. "It'll be instrumental… to help define what is a cryptocurrency and how should they be regulated," Jog added.
Asked about core blockchain design challenges, he defended smaller validator sets, explaining that requiring every single person to run a full node is a huge waste of resources and advocated trustless verification over universal full‑node participation.
On scalability, he touted Sei's multi‑concurrent producer model to mitigate front‑running. 
"If you send your transaction to enough validators, it's guaranteed to be included in the next round of consensus." Jog also dissected cross‑chain friction, calling synchronous composability "extremely difficult" when atomic swaps must land on both chains or neither, and likened EVM compatibility to JavaScript's ubiquity in Web2.

Trump Admin, Democrats Will Converge On Crypto And It Will Become 'More Mainstream,' Sei Co-Founder Says

For most families, high school means public education or a reasonably priced private school. But for a select group, high school tuition now rivals — or even exceeds — the cost of a year at many colleges.&nbsp;
Some elite private high schools charge more than $70,000 a year in tuition alone, raising the question: how are families managing to pay for it?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tuition Costs That Rival College</h2>
According to the <a href="https://educationdata.org/average-cost-of-private-school">Education Data Initiative</a>, the average annual tuition for a U.S. private high school is $16,420. But that's a far cry from what families are paying at the most exclusive institutions.

</ul>
<a href="https://www.gobankingrates.com/saving-money/education/most-expensive-high-schools-in-us/">GoBankingRates</a> reports that the most expensive high schools in America are concentrated in major metro areas like New York, Boston, and parts of California:&nbsp;
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Thacher School — Ojai, California: $77,880</li>
<li>The Lawrenceville School — Lawrenceville, New Jersey: $73,220</li>
<li>Episcopal High School — Alexandria, Virginia: $72,000</li>
<li>St. Andrew's School — Middletown, Delaware: $69,400</li>
<li>Woodberry Forest School — Woodberry, Virginia: $67,650</li>
<li>Avenues: The World School — New York: $65,850</li>
<li>The Spence School — New York: $65,846</li>
<li>The Hotchkiss School — Lakeville, Connecticut: $65,490</li>
<li>St. Paul's School — Concord, New Hampshire: $65,000</li>
<li>Culver Academies — Culver, Indiana: $65,000</li>
<li>Convent of the Sacred Heart — New York: $64,610</li>
<li>Marymount School of New York — New York: $64,600</li>
<li>The Hewitt School — New York: $64,550</li>
<li>The Brearley School — New York: $64,100</li>
<li>Milton Academy — Milton, Massachusetts: $63,950</li>
</ol>
For context, Education Data Initiative reports the average cost of private university tuition in the U.S. is $35,248. That means some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45139109/this-one-high-school-class-could-be-worth-100000-over-a-lifetime">high schoolers</a> are paying more than double the average college student — before even earning a diploma.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Do These Schools Offer?</h2>
Why are families willing to pay so much? Part of the answer lies in what these schools provide.
Top schools like Milton Academy in Massachusetts, St. Paul's School in New Hampshire, and Avenues: The World School in New York offer rigorous academics, low student-to-teacher ratios, and expansive extracurricular programs. Students might learn in state-of-the-art science facilities, study abroad, or participate in unique leadership programs. Many schools also emphasize character development, global citizenship, and individualized learning.
These features — and the prestige that often comes with attending an elite institution — can open doors to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/25/05/45183830/is-college-still-worth-it-gen-z-and-millennials-are-losing-faith-as-ai-disrupts-the-">top-tier colleges</a>, internships, and professional networks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Can Actually Afford This?</h2>
With price tags exceeding $60,000 a year, it&#8217;s easy to assume these schools are only for the ultra-wealthy. While many students do come from high-income families, that's not the full story.
Some schools, like St. Andrew's School in Delaware, emphasize socioeconomic diversity and provide significant need-based aid. In fact, St. Andrew's offers financial support to all admitted students based on their family's financial circumstances.
Still, it's unclear how many students at these elite schools are receiving aid. And for families without assistance, the cost can be staggering. Paying for four years of high school at one of these institutions could cost more than $280,000 — not including books, uniforms, travel, or other fees.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making the Numbers Work</h2>
So, how do families make it work? In many cases, they rely on:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>High earnings or generational wealth</li>
<li>Education savings accounts or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43061910/college-fund-or-brokerage-account-for-kids-schooling-ramsey-show-hosts-weigh-in-on-lawyers-sketchy-advice-for-single-mom">529 plans</a></li>
<li>Tuition installment plans offered by the schools</li>
<li>Financial aid and merit-based scholarships</li>
</ul>
Some families also make personal sacrifices to afford tuition, including taking on second jobs or downsizing their living expenses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>
Elite high schools offer a unique experience, but it comes at a steep cost — often more than most American families earn in a year. For those who can afford it, the return may be access to prestigious colleges and lifelong connections. But for many others, the price tag makes these schools a distant dream.
Still, the rise in tuition at the nation's most expensive high schools reflects a broader trend in private education — one that continues to push the boundaries of what families are willing and able to pay.

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.

Stifel Reiterates Buy on Intl Game Tech, Lowers Price Target to $20

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.
