<h2>Get to Know Nike Better</h2>
Nike is the largest athletic footwear and apparel brand in the world. Key categories include basketball, running, and football (soccer). Footwear generates about two thirds of its sales. Its brands include Nike, Jordan (premium athletic footwear and clothing), and Converse (casual footwear). Nike sells products worldwide through company-owned stores, franchised stores, and third-party retailers. The firm also operates e-commerce platforms in more than 40 countries. Nearly all its production is outsourced to contract manufacturers in more than 30 countries. Nike was founded in 1964 and is based in Beaverton, Oregon.
<h3>Nike: Financial Performance Dissected</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is above the industry average, indicating that it is relatively larger in size compared to peers. This may suggest a higher level of investor confidence and market recognition.
Decline in Revenue: Over the 3M period, Nike faced challenges, resulting in a decline of approximately -9.33% in revenue growth as of 28 February, 2025. This signifies a reduction in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the revenue growth lags behind its industry peers. The company achieved a growth rate lower than the average among peers in Consumer Discretionary sector.
Net Margin: Nike's net margin is impressive, surpassing industry averages. With a net margin of 7.05%, the company demonstrates strong profitability and effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Nike's ROE excels beyond industry benchmarks, reaching 5.66%. This signifies robust financial management and efficient use of shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): Nike's financial strength is reflected in its exceptional ROA, which exceeds industry averages. With a remarkable ROA of 2.1%, the company showcases efficient use of assets and strong financial health.
Debt Management: Nike's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 0.85. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Nike shares are trading lower after Williams Trading cut its price target on the stock from $93 to $73.

Williams Trading Maintains Buy on Nike, Lowers Price Target to $73

As geopolitical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">tensions between China and the U.S.</a> rise and viral videos on TikTok expose layers of luxury supply chains, investors are facing a new type of reckoning: brand dilution by exposure. While some luxury brands are gearing up to pass the cost on to affluent customers, others may be at risk of reputational damage and shifting consumer sentiment, particularly those with undisclosed connections to Chinese manufacturers.
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">luxury retail ETFs</a>, the narrative is no longer merely one of premium brand cachet. It&#8217;s one of origin transparency, tariff risk and the danger of counterfeit inundating mainstream markets.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Luxury Retail ETFs Under The Microscope</h2>
SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Consumer Discretionary (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>)
As one of the largest and most liquid ETFs in the space, XLY includes mega-cap names like Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>). While not exclusive to luxury, it offers heavy exposure to branded discretionary spending. If consumer sentiment shifts against companies perceived as outsourcing to China or overcharging for imported goods, XLY could be vulnerable to sector-wide repricing.
As CNN notes, lots of luxury products are partially assembled in China and then receive final touches in Europe. 
Amplify Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBUY#NYSE">IBUY</a>)
Targeting U.S. consumer and e-commerce platforms, IBUY features brands that are most exposed to the ascendance of wholesale Chinese apps such as DHgate and Taobao. <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/16/business/chinese-manufacturers-tiktok-trade-war/index.html">According </a>to CNN, the platforms are now dominating app store rankings in the U.S., offering ultra-low-cost facsimiles that impersonate (or purport to be) OEMs for luxury brands such as Gucci, Prada and even Birkin.
Wang Sen, a TikTok personality who stated he was an OEM for high-end handbags, was caught on camera facing a wall full of what appeared to be Birkin bags. In a now-deleted video, he asked viewers to reach out and purchase directly from them, as reported by CNN. Real or not, the effect is the same: IBUY constituents are being competed against by direct-from-factory sellers encroaching on their territory.
First Trust Consumer Discretionary AlphaDEX Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXD#NYSE">FXD</a>)
This ETF comprises high-end U.S. consumer brands like Ralph Lauren&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) and Nike – companies often <a href="https://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/industrial-textiles-news/viral-tiktok-videos-promote-chinese-factory-buys-to-dodge-us-tariffs-302029-newsdetails.htm?amp=true">cited </a>in viral videos as sending manufacturing offshore to China. If sales of these companies take a hit as consumers shift to direct purchasing, this fund is likely to feel the pain.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The TikTok Trade War</h2>
What&#8217;s behind this viral content bonanza is more than transparency—there&#8217;s a larger trade war narrative. In a new twist on U.S.-China tensions, CNN explains that Chinese influencers are flooding TikTok to pressure Americans to bypass Trump&#8217;s 145% tariffs by purchasing directly from Chinese manufacturers. One video purporting to document the suppliers of Lululemon leggings has over 1.5 million likes. In comments? &#8220;Now this is how you do a trade war.&#8221;
Apps such as Taobao and DHgate, notorious for carrying &#8220;dupes,&#8221; burst into the U.S. App Store&#8217;s top 10 this month. Even if they are not selling original OEM products, they still undercut the prestige and price power of luxury brands.
A popular video cited by the outlet showed a user saying Lululemon&#8217;s $98 leggings were purchased for $5–$6 from a factory in Yiwu. Lululemon quickly dismissed any connection to those manufacturers, stating the names does not appear on its formal 2025 list of suppliers.
Luxury groups, however, are adapting. French luxury brand Hermès indicated that it would pass the total cost of US tariffs to buyers, according to Reuters. The French luxury group, known for its Birkin and Kelly handbags, which sell for $10,000 or more, generated a 7% year-over-year increase in Q1 revenues on a constant currency basis, falling short of the almost 10% surge that analysts had estimated, according to HSBC data cited by Reuters.
Hermès can count on its high-end clientele to swallow higher prices, but not everyone in the industry enjoys such pricing power. LVMH, a bellwether, saw a 5% decline in its fashion and leather segment.
The Illusion Of Reshoring
While the Trump administration is counting on tariffs to restore manufacturing to U.S. shores, the situation is more complicated. A recently released CNBC Supply Chain Survey revealed that 74% of firms identify cost as the main obstacle preventing them from reshoring. Few are contemplating returning to America. Most prefer to move to other low-tariff nations such as Vietnam and Cambodia.
This implies that ETFs with U.S. luxury and consumer brand exposure will continue to be tied to impenetrable global supply chains—most of which are still routed through China.
Final Word For Investors
For investors in ETFs, the actual concern might not be where things are produced, but whether companies are honest about it. The viral TikTok clips, grounded in reality or not, have highlighted a building consumer desire for authenticity in labeling and sourcing.
High-end brands that fail to satisfy this expectation can risk more than just their reputations. They stand to lose their price power, their exclusivity, and ultimately, their appeal to investors.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is fighting against criticism from recent stock buying activity that came shortly before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/04/44697177/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-the-dip-congresswoman-purchases-shares-of-apple-amazon-nike-and-more-following-tariff-related-sell-off">a market rally.</a>
Here's what Greene had to say.
What Happened: Disclosures from Rep. Greene (R-Ga.) showed her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene">buying shares</a> of several stocks as the market declined on news of President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs, as shown on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene">Benzinga Government Trades page.</a>
Those stocks quickly soared after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, turning Greene's investment of $21,000 to $315,000 into a quickly profitable one that drew attention from many accounts that follow Congress trading activity.
Greene bought shares of technology stocks like Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) that were hurt by potential tariffs. Greene also disclosed buying Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) shares, which soared after Trump paused tariffs.
Greene took pride in her transactions, despite other members of Congress calling for an investigation into whether Trump and his allies participated in insider trading.
"I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades," Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The Congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
"I don't place my buys and sells,&#8221; Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. "He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that's what anybody that has financial sense does.&#8221;
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn't a secret.

Why It's Important: Greene is Trump&#8217;s close ally. The timing of the buys shortly before the tariff pause was announced has raised red flags.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44806734/marjorie-taylor-greene-made-large-stock-purchases-ahead-of-trumps-90-day-tariff-pause-hakeem-jeffries-calls-it-problematic">urged a ban</a> on stock trading by members of Congress after news of Greene's trades circulated.
"We obviously continue to highlight while this is problematic," Jeffries told MSNBC.
Several Congress members have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/39096827/exclusive-khanna-says-shameful-congress-members-profited-from-stocks-calls-for-trading-ban-makin">called for a ban </a>on the buying and selling on stocks and options by members of Congress, but the item has not been voted on in recent years.
Greene went several years without disclosing stock purchases before unveiling a handful in 2024 in May 2024. That disclosure has been followed up with trades every month or two, including the most recent trades.
As Benzinga previously reported, several of Greene's trades could be problematic given the timing and her committee assignments.
Greene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order">disclosed buying shares </a>of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) ETF shortly before Trump announced he would make a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve.
Greene also disclosed buying shares of Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) earlier this year. Greene serves on the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence under the House Committee on Homeland Security. Palantir is the recipient of government contracts related to Homeland Security. Critics argue that Greene and other members of Congress could have access to inside information from committee assignments and new contracts before they are made public.
While Greene insists she does not have prior knowledge of what stocks her portfolio manager bought or why he was able to time the bottom so perfectly, increased public pressure could lead to more discussion of banning Congress from trading in the future.

Spotlight on Nike: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) highlighted the tax inequities of major corporations and billionaires, emphasizing the need for wealth tax reform.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Sanders posted on X a list of several major corporations and billionaires who, according to him, paid less in federal income taxes than an individual who paid just $1. The list included Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), as well as billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. 
Sanders pointed out that these entities paid little to no federal income taxes in various years. For instance, Tesla paid zero federal income tax on $2.3 billion of U.S. income in 2024, as per ITEP data.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Sanders&#8217; post reflects his ongoing support for a wealth tax, suggesting a levy on the top 0.1% of earners—those with a net worth above $32 million—to generate $4.35 trillion over ten years for initiatives such as Medicare for All. Sanders&#8217; post comes amid a growing debate on wealth inequality and tax reform. He has been vocal about his concerns regarding the growing wealth gap in the U.S. and the need for tax reforms that do not favor the ultra-wealthy. In a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43578641/bernie-sanders-says-we-must-not-savage-programs-for-working-families-to-provide-huge-tax-breaks-for-billionaires">previous statement</a>, Sanders emphasized that programs for working families should not be sacrificed to provide tax breaks for billionaires.

Recently, the Trump administration has reportedly been considering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44612627/trump-reportedly-considers-raising-taxes-on-ultra-wealthy-striking-rare-common-ground-with-ideologic">tax increase for the wealthiest </a>Americans, a move that Sanders has long advocated for. As the debate on tax reform continues, Sanders&#8217; post serves as a stark reminder of the tax inequities that exist and the need for reform. That being said, some X users were quick to point out that with a federal income tax payment of $11 billion in 2021, Elon Musk announced himself as the highest taxpayer in history.</figcaption></figure>
Moreover, Kyle Pomerleau, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan American Enterprise Institute, explained the phenomenon. He said that low corporate tax rates show big corporations are simply trying to minimize their tax burden, just like everyday taxpayers do. &#8220;These low effective tax rates are not reflective of tax evasion,&#8221; Pomerleau told USA Today previously. &#8220;It&#8217;s tax avoidance. Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is legal.&#8221;

'If You Paid $1 In Federal Income Taxes, You Paid More' Than Tesla Or Amazon, Says Bernie Sanders As He Takes On Billionaires For Tax Inequities

A surge of TikTok influencers are targeting American consumers with videos that claim to reveal the Chinese factories behind major brands like Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and Lululemon Athletica, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>).
The influencers claim that viewers can bypass President Donald Trump's tariffs by purchasing the same products directly from Chinese manufacturers at a fraction of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44640220/peter-schiff-says-nike-wont-build-factories-in-us-they-will-sell-to-countries-like-china-a-much-better-strategy-amid-trump-tariffs"> U.S. retail prices.</a> 
What To Know: The influencers typically film themselves inside or near Chinese factories and assert that the facility produces goods for Nike, Lululemon and other well-known brands. Some openly criticize U.S. tariffs and trade policies and the messaging often emphasizes the idea that consumers can &#8220;bypass the middleman&#8221; and get the same products for significantly lower prices directly from the factory.&nbsp;

While the influencers promote direct factory sales as a way to avoid tariffs, the U.S. is<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/04/44714336/temu-shein-brace-for-impact-as-trumps-tariff-torpedo-blows-up-the-800-loophole"> set to eliminate</a> duty exemptions for small packages sent to U.S. addresses starting May 2, making it less clear whether consumers will actually save money.&nbsp;
For example, TikTok user @LunaSourcingChina <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lunasourcingchina/video/7470351509918649643">claims</a> Lululemon leggings are made for $5 to $6 per pair, compared to over $100 retail in the U.S., saying the quality is &#8220;virtually identical.&#8221;
Other videos titled &#8220;China Exposed the Truth&#8221; and &#8220;How We Bypass Tariffs&#8221; have gone viral, with millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes. The sheer number of videos showcasing the anti-tariff content highlights concerns over TikTok-owner ByteDance's ability to reach and influence a broad U.S. audience. 
"These posts are much more confrontational and mocking of the US, rather than showing it as a threat," Tom Harper, lecturer in Chinese international relations at the University of East London,<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-14/china-suppliers-mock-tariffs-with-nike-lululemon-tiktok-deals?embedded-checkout=true"> told </a>Bloomberg.&nbsp;

Chinese TikTok Influencers 'Expose' Cheap Nike, Lululemon Suppliers To Bypass Trump Tariffs

A survey has indicated that the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration may not lead to a resurgence in U.S. manufacturing.
What Happened: A new supply chain survey suggested that the U.S. manufacturing sector is unlikely to be the primary beneficiary of China losing some manufacturing due to the imposed tariffs. The survey revealed that most companies believe that reshoring supply chains could potentially double their costs, leading them to seek low-tariff regimes globally, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/14/tariffs-wont-bring-manufacturing-back-to-us-supply-chain-survey.html">reported</a> CNBC.
Despite promises of&nbsp;tax cuts for companies that&nbsp;bring back manufacturing to the U.S., 57% of respondents cited cost as the main reason for not reshoring production. Furthermore, 61% of the respondents felt that the Trump administration is &#8220;bullying corporate America.&#8221;
Bruce Kaminstein, a New York-based entrepreneur, told CNBC, "Small consumer companies that started with an innovative idea do not have the capital to invest in building factories.&#8221;
At the same time, Steve Lamar, CEO of the American Apparel &amp; Footwear Association, explained that Trump&#8217;s &#8216;ill-advised&#8217; tariff policy could adversely impact the supply chains that support millions of U.S. jobs, empower American manufacturers and offer affordable choices to consumers.

Why It Matters: According to a White House statement, Trump believes tariffs will safeguard current jobs and rejuvenate the manufacturing sector, reversing "the decades of globalization that has decimated our industrial base."
However, this survey&#8217;s findings indicate otherwise. It aligns with recent industry predictions. Economist Peter Schiff had warned that companies like&nbsp;Nike Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44640220/peter-schiff-says-nike-wont-build-factories-in-us-they-will-sell-to-countries-like-china-a-much-better-strategy-amid-trump-tariffs">would not shift </a>production to the U.S. despite the tariffs, as it would increase costs.
Similarly, a leading tech analyst predicted that the tariffs could cause a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728758/trumps-tariffs-could-push-apple-iphone-prices-to-a-staggering-3500-says-top-analyst">significant price hike</a> for&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones if manufacturing shifts to the U.S. The U.S. auto industry also faces potential disruption from a 25% tariff on imported vehicles, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44509009/over-7-million-vehicles-could-face-the-brunt-of-trumps-auto-tariffs-this-could-drive-the-auto-industry-into-recession">could affect </a>over 7 million vehicles.
On the other hand, Gordon Hanson, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School&nbsp;told the Wall Street Journal that industries with less complex products—such as pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing—are more likely to shift some operations back to the U.S.
These developments suggest that the tariffs may not have the intended effect of boosting U.S. manufacturing, but could instead lead to increased costs and potential disruptions across various industries.

US Manufacturing Unlikely To Benefit From Tariffs, Survey Indicates: Majority Feels Trump Team Is 'Bullying Corporate America'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed her significant stock purchases made just before and on the day of President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement to pause global tariffs. This announcement had a substantial impact on the stock market.
What Happened: Based on the information disclosed to the House, Greene bought stocks valued between $21,000 and $315,000 on April 8 and 9. On April 8, she also sold Treasury bills worth between $50,000 and $100,000, according to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Benzinga Government Trades tracker.</a>
Greene&#8217;s stock purchases included shares in several companies, such as&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which has since appreciated by approximately 5%. She also invested in other tech firms, energy companies like&nbsp;Devon Energy Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>), and pharmaceutical giant&nbsp;Merck &amp; Company&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>).
On April 8, Greene bought stocks in&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). These transactions occurred&nbsp;as government bond yields were&nbsp;on the rise amidst the tariff turmoil.
Here's a look at the stocks Greene purchased during the period:

Why It Matters: Greene&#8217;s stock trades have raised eyebrows, especially considering the timing of her purchases. The trades coincided with former President Trump&#8217;s tariff pause announcement, which led to a significant surge in the stock market. 
This has led to calls for an investigation into potential insider trading related to President Trump&#8217;s market communications before the tariff pause announcement. Key Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have expressed concerns about possible corruption. Schiff and Warren pointed out a post on Truth Social where Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44747573/adam-schiff-and-elizabeth-warren-call-for-investigation-into-possible-insider-trading-by-trump-allie"> encouraged buying stocks</a> just hours before the tariff pause announcement that sent markets soaring.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York&nbsp;urged a ban on stock trading by members of Congress following the revelation of Ms. Greene's investment activities. He told <a href="https://jeffries.house.gov/2025/04/14/leader-jeffries-we-are-going-to-hold-republicans-accountable-for-any-effort-to-dismantle-social-security/">MSNBC </a>on Monday, "We obviously have to continue to highlight why this is problematic."

Marjorie Taylor Greene Made Large Stock Purchases Ahead Of Trump's 90-Day Tariff Pause: Hakeem Jeffries Calls It 'Problematic'

President Donald Trump's announcement on Wednesday of a 90-day pause on tariffs against America's trading partners gave the market a short-lived relief. Experts believe market volatility is expected to continue as Trump <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/10/trump-tariffs-trade-war-stock-market-live-updates/83008953007/">raised</a> duties against China to 145% after Beijing responded with retaliatory tariffs. In this environment, investors are flocking to quality dividend stocks for downside protection.
Data from S&amp;P Global<a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/research/research-a-case-for-dividend-growth-strategies.pdf"> shows</a> from Dec. 31, 1999, to March 31, 2022, when the market was down, the S&amp;P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats outperformed the S&amp;P Composite 1500 by an average of 140 bps per month.

Last month, an investor from Germany <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jhijv4/felt_like_sharing_34m/">shared</a> his income report and portfolio details on r/Dividends, a Reddit community with more than 700,000 followers.&nbsp; The screenshots shared by the investor, 34, showed his monthly dividend income stood at €3,120 ($3,490). He said a part of his wealth came from inheritance.
"I make about 10k net with salary, business and capital gains," he said.
The investor also urged Redditors to save and keep costs in control.
"Be lucky &#8211; success in investment is mostly no function of work dedicated towards it. Save relentlessly. It might sound simple but putting aside 1,000 EUR per Month is 12k per year, putting aside 3, 000 EUR per month is a quite considerable 40k."

34-Year-Old Making $3,400 a Month in Dividends Shares His Top 7 Stocks — 'Be Lucky and Save Relentlessly'

More consumers are trading down, and a noticeable shift toward off-price and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/consumer-spending">discount retailers is emerging</a>.
What Happened: According to J.P. Morgan analyst Matthew R. Boss, retail fundamentals in the first-quarter are tracking close to expectations with signs of stronger momentum in late April due to the timing of Easter.
Apparel and footwear spending remained solid, boosted by affluent consumers and stable lower-income budgets, he says. Most retailers, however, are adopting a four-part strategy to offset new tariffs: renegotiating with suppliers, shifting sourcing, improving cost structures, and applying selective price hikes.

Here are some key takeaways from his April 14 report: 
<ul>
<li>Store expansion remains a key revenue driver for companies like Ollie&#8217;s Bargain Outlet Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLLI#NASDAQ">OLLI</a>), Burlington Stores Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BURL#NYSE">BURL</a>) and Boot Barn Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOOT#NYSE">BOOT</a>).</li>
<li>Global brands such as Birkenstock Holding PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIRK#NYSE">BIRK</a>) and PVH Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) are reporting healthy order books and improving visibility.</li>
<li>The analyst reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares of PVH and lowered the price forecast from $91.00 to $87.00.</li>
<li>PVH is seeing macro-driven headwinds in North America and China, with North America DTC revenues down mid-single digits and China down mid-teens in February, partially stabilizing in March. Tariff exposure poses risk, with a potential EPS hit of $4.85.</li>
<li>Specialty retailers like Bath &amp; Body Works Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>) and Urban Outfitters Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URBN#NASDAQ">URBN</a>) benefit from product diversification and operational gains.</li>
<li>Cruise lines stay relatively insulated, seeing no major booking declines despite recent market volatility.</li>
<li>Brands with the highest exposure to China include American Eagle Outfitters Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>), Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>, )) and Boot Barn; Levi Strauss &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEVI#NYSE">LEVI</a>), Birkenstock Holding PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIRK#NYSE">BIRK</a>), and VF Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>) remain less affected.</li>
<li>Burlington shares have an Overweight rating and a lowered price forecast from $336 to $287. The company saw strong fourth-quarter performance led by lower-income shoppers, with solid comps across all income levels due to value-seeking behavior.</li>
<li>The analyst reiterated a Buy Overweight on the shares of Ross Stores Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROST#NASDAQ">ROST</a>) with a price forecast of $161.00. The company expects first-quarter same-store sales to decline 3% to flat, due to cold weather, delayed tax refunds, and consumer hesitation from policy headlines. However, trends improved in March/April, and full-year comps are projected at -1% to +2%, driven by seasonal historical strength and expected easing of first-quarter headwinds. ROST faces limited direct sourcing from China but still expects a modest tariff headwind.</li>
<li>The analyst reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares of Macy&#8217;s Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) and lowered the price forecast from $14.00 to $13.00. Despite progress reducing China sourcing (~30% now vs. ~50% historically), tariffs remain a risk for Macy&#8217;s, with a potential EPS headwind of up to $1.45.</li>
<li>The analyst maintained an Overweight rating on the shares of Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) and lowered the price forecast to 4389.00. Lululemon expects +6–7% revenue growth in 1Q FY25. Due to macroeconomic concerns, U.S. traffic declined, though conversion rates and AOV improved. Lululemon faces a 20bps gross margin headwind from tariffs, though China accounts for only 3% of its finished goods. Assuming no mitigation, tariffs could cut EPS by $0.38, noted the analyst.</li>

Consumers Go Discount As Tariff Pressures Mount, Warns Analyst

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
President Donald Trump's hold on global tariffs but imposition of a 145% levy on Chinese imports led to significant market volatility and eroding confidence in the dollar and Treasuries this week. The 30-year Treasury yield briefly reached 5%, indicating the return of bond vigilantes — investors selling bonds in reaction to policy decisions.
Despite the turmoil, certain stocks have outperformed. For instance, Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) have shown resilience amid the market's fluctuations, demonstrating robust fundamentals and strategic positioning that appeal to investors even during uncertain times.
Overall, while the broader market faces challenges from escalating trade tensions and policy uncertainties, select companies continue to thrive, highlighting the importance of strategic agility and strong fundamentals in navigating volatile economic landscapes.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.
The Bulls
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44696168/apple-is-a-buying-opportunity-again-as-key-valuation-level-flashes-green-bank-of-america-says">"Apple Is A ‘Buying Opportunity' Again As Key Valuation Level Flashes Green, Bank Of America Says"</a>, by Piero Cingari, reports that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares have dropped 17% since April 2, more than double the S&amp;P 500's decline in the same period, and Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan views this as a buying opportunity, citing historical data showing average gains of 17% one year after Apple's P/E ratio compresses under 25x.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/25/04/44674899/broadcom-stock-jumps-on-10-billion-buyback-authorization">"Broadcom Stock Jumps On $10 Billion Buyback Authorization"</a>, by Adam Eckert, reports that Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) shares rose after the company authorized a $10 billion share repurchase program through the end of 2025, reflecting confidence in its semiconductor and infrastructure software businesses.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44683383/marvell-plays-ai-hardball-divestiture-sparks-155-upside-says-analyst">"Marvell Plays AI Hardball: Divestiture Sparks 155% Upside, Says Analyst"</a>, by Surbhi Jain, reports that Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) sold its automotive Ethernet business to Infineon Technologies AG for $2.5 billion, prompting JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur to reaffirm an Overweight rating and set a $130 price target — implying a 155% upside — as the company intensifies its focus on AI and cloud data center growth.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) shares fell 10.3% to $53.18 amid escalating U.S.-China trade tensions, as the company's reliance on imports from China, Vietnam, and Indonesia exposes it to new tariffs, including a 145% rate on Chinese goods.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) shares fell over 11% in after-hours trading after Trump expressed opposition to the company's acquisition by Nippon Steel, stating, "We don't want to see it go to Japan."

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Apple, Nike, US Steel — And The Markets Ride Out Ongoing Volatility

Needham analyst Tom Nikic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NKE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a Buy rating </a>on the shares of Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) with a price forecast of $75.00.
According to the analyst, monitoring collectible sneaker trends is a way to gauge broader sneaker demand. High-demand releases, those selling out quickly at launch and fetching premiums on resale sites like StockX and GOAT often indicate a strong market.
Tariffs are expected to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44741043/nike-stock-tumbles-as-us-china-trade-war-intensifies-what-you-need-to-know" rel="noreferrer noopener"> heavily influence the footwear sector</a> in the short term, said the analyst. With nearly all U.S. footwear being imported, current tariffs 145% on Chinese goods and 10% elsewhere pose a significant threat to profit margins.

As a result, stock movements are likely to be driven more by evolving tariff news than business fundamentals, creating uncertainty for investors, noted the analyst.
Nike has launched the ReactX Rejuven8, a molded rubber slip-on that resembles Crocs. The shoe, featuring perforations on the upper, sold out quickly in limited quantities and is gaining traction on social media.
While it's early, the analyst suggests that if the buzz continues, the model could pose competitive pressure for Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>).
Nike received strong consumer response to its Pegasus Premium running shoe, with successful launches in both January and March.
This momentum could indicate early signs of a rebound in Nike's running category.
While it's too soon to say Nike is impacting rivals like Hoka and On Holding AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONON#NYSE">ONON</a>), the analyst suggests it's a space worth watching.
Brand-level analysis suggests that Nike could see a year-over-year uptick in high-heat sneaker releases, partly due to last April's underwhelming Jordan lineup.
Price Action: NKE shares traded lower by 0.33% at $54.18 at last check Friday.
