Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Eaton Expectations Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

Freight Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRGT#NASDAQ">FRGT</a>) has become the first public company to adopt the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin as a treasury reserve asset, as announced on Wednesday.
What Happened: The logistics management firm&nbsp;agreed to the issuance of convertible&nbsp;notes&nbsp;up to $20 million&nbsp;with an institutional investor, according to a press release. The proceeds from this financing will be &#8220;exclusively&#8221; allocated for purchasing TRUMP tokens.
Freight Technologies plans to issue notes amounting to $1 million in the first tranche, with an&nbsp;additional capacity of up to&nbsp;$19 million available in&nbsp;subsequent drawdowns.
&#8220;We believe that the addition of the Official Trump tokens is an excellent way to diversify our crypto treasury and also an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced, and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.,&#8221; said CEO Javier Selgas.

Why It Matters: The decision comes against the backdrop of President Donald Trump&#8217;s new trade policy, as part of which he imposed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43926015/trump-confirms-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-will-take-effect-as-planned">25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada</a> that are not covered under the region&#8217;s U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact. 
Freight Technologies is particularly known for cross-border shipping between the U.S. and Mexico.
Meanwhile, TRUMP has been in the news after the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45027557/trumps-memecoin-dinner-event-sparks-impeachment-call-from-democratic-senator-says-potus-is-selling-access-to-those-who-enrich-him">top holders of the coin were invited to an exclusive dinner</a> with Trump. The news sparked a buying frenzy but also attracted criticism, with one Democratic lawmaker labeling it an impeachable offense
Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $12.50, down 4.73% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The meme coin, launched before Trump&#8217;s presidential inauguration, was down 83% from its all-time highs.
Shares of Freight Technologies were down 3.53% in after-hours trading, after plunging 20% to $0.9848 on Thursday.

Trump's Official Token Adopted As Treasury Reserve Asset By Nasdaq-Listed Company Seeking Fair, Free Trade Between US And Mexico

On Thursday, Spotify Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) said that it had submitted an updated version of its app to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) that includes an external link for U.S. users to purchase subscriptions outside the App Store.
What Happened: The move follows a ruling by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who found that Apple had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45126668/apple-lied-under-oath-judge-says-tim-cook-ignored-internal-warnings-in-epic-games-case-fallout-this-is-an-injunction-not-a-negotiation">failed to comply</a> with her 2021 injunction in the Epic Games antitrust lawsuit.
In an 80-page decision issued Wednesday, Judge Rogers said Apple's attempts to introduce new fees on off-app purchases violated the spirit of her original order.

Apple responded by stating it strongly disagrees with the ruling but would comply while it appeals the decision.
"The fact that we haven&#8217;t been able to deliver these basic services, which were permitted by the judge&#8217;s order four years ago, is absurd," the company said in a blog post.

Why It's Important: After the court&#8217;s ruling, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/45123864/apple-ordered-to-ease-app-store-rules-in-us-epic-games-ceo-tim-sweeney-proposes-peace-deal-saying-well-return-fortnite-and-drop-all-litigation-only-if">proposed ending all ongoing litigation</a> if Apple expands its compliance.
Meeting Epic's conditions would require Apple to drop its global commissions on purchases made outside the App Store and lift restrictions on linking to external payment platforms—changes that could deal a major blow to Apple's lucrative services revenue.
Price Action: On Thursday, Apple stock gained 0.39% during regular trading before dropping 3.78% in after-hours trading, closing at $205.25, per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>. On the same day, Spotify ended 1.9% lower at $602.26 in the regular trading and fell 0.72% in the after-hours session.
According to Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings, Apple holds a growth score of 44.64% and a momentum score of 44.65%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against other leading tech stocks</a>.

Cigna Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Economist Peter Schiff says today's cheaper crude is less a "drill‑baby‑drill" success than a warning light for a sputtering world economy.
What Happened: In an X post on Thursday, he argued oil is sinking because global trade is stalling and recession fears are throttling demand, not because producers suddenly flooded the market.
&#8220;A better slogan is &#8216;chill-baby-chill.&#8217; It&#8217;s not more supply that is bringing down oil prices, but collapsing demand due to reduced trade and recession,&#8221; wrote Schiff.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Trump is getting lower oil prices, but it&#39;s not due to &quot;drill-baby-drill.&quot; In fact, with current oil prices, drilling will stop. A better slogan is &quot;chill-baby-chill.&quot; It&#39;s not more supply that is bringing down oil prices, but collapsing demand due to reduced trade and recession.

While falling prices ideally paint a positive picture from a demand perspective, supply tells a different story: U.S. drillers idled five rigs in mid‑April, the steepest weekly cut since 2023 and the lowest count since December 2021, according to Baker Hughes data. According to a separate Reuters report, analysts warn sub‑$60 prices threaten shale economics, curbing future output rather than expanding it — the opposite of the "drill‑baby‑drill" refrain.
The International Energy Agency <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-april-2025">last month cut</a> its 2025 demand-growth call by 300,000 barrels a day, blaming "escalating trade tensions" that darken the economic outlook. The World Trade Organization echoes that worry, <a href="https://www.wto.org/english/blogs_e/ce_ralph_ossa_e/blog_ro_16apr25_e.htm">forecasting</a> a 0.2 percent contraction in goods volumes this year, nearly three percentage points below trend.
Oil prices spiked Thursday after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45149446/oil-prices-soar-after-trump-threatens-sanctions-on-iranian-crude-buyers-is-china-on-top-of-the-list">Donald Trump warned</a> that any country buying Iranian oil or petrochemicals would face sweeping U.S. secondary sanctions. The threat rattled traders because it targets the bulk of Tehran's crude exports.
Roughly 90 percent of Iran's 1.8 million‑barrel‑per‑day March shipments went to China, ship‑tracking firm Vortex told Reuters. Much of that crude ends up in Shandong's independent refineries, which often skirt global oversight—a fact that has irked Washington.
The State Department says China is "by far" Iran's largest oil customer. If Beijing ignores Trump's ultimatum, analysts fear a new sanctions clash could choke Iranian supply and send prices even higher.

Roblox Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) is intensifying its push to capture 10% of the global gaming market, leveraging artificial intelligence, genre diversification, and strategic brand partnerships as central pillars of its growth strategy. 
What Happened: The company, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45141775/why-is-roblox-stock-trading-higher-on-thursday">reported first-quarter 2025 revenue of $1.21 billion</a>, up 29% year over year and above analyst forecasts-continues to outperform expectations in both revenue and bookings, signaling robust demand and effective execution of its business plan.
CEO David Baszucki reaffirmed Roblox's ambitious target during the latest earnings call, stating, "We're gonna see 10% of the gaming market by consumer spending on the Roblox platform." 
Currently, Roblox holds about 3% of the gaming market, according to CFO Mike Guthrie, but management remains optimistic, citing the platform's resilience even during economic downturns and its appeal as a low-cost entertainment option.

Why It Matters: A key driver of Roblox's strategy is the integration of artificial intelligence tools to streamline content creation and enhance platform safety. The company now operates over 200 AI pipelines, with applications ranging from automated moderation to generative asset creation. 
Roblox is also broadening its genre offerings, targeting categories such as sports, racing, role-playing, and battle games. The company reported a 69% year-over-year growth in these tracked genres, reflecting successful diversification efforts.&nbsp;
Price Action: Roblox stock closed at $69.00 on Wednesday, up 2.91% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock edged up an additional 0.14%. Year to date, Roblox shares have gained 17.27%.
Roblox demonstrates stronger momentum and growth than rivals such as Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/U#NYSE">U</a>), Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>), and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>). However, the stock scores lower on valuation metrics, while maintaining a positive price trend from the short to long term, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

After a news report claimed that Tesla Inc.

What Happened: On Thursday night, Gary Black, the managing partner at The Future Fund LLC, and a Tesla bull for years, addressed speculation about Musk's potential ouster in a post on X, dismissing concerns regarding the board seeking his replacement.
In his post, Black said if Musk stepped down as CEO but stayed on as a Chief Technology Officer or a Chief Product Officer, Tesla's stock could drop 5% to 10%. A complete departure, he warned, could trigger a 20% to 25% decline, wiping out nearly $220 billion in shareholder value.

Black&#8217;s post highlights the extent to which Musk still anchors Tesla&#8217;s $880 billion market cap, a key reason why he believes the &#8220;odds are low&#8221; that the board chooses someone to replace him.

Price Action: Tesla shares ended Thursday down by 0.58%, and are now down 1.06% after hours, in part due to the rumors and uncertainties surrounding a change in leadership.

Elon Musk's Exit As CEO Means 25% Drop In Tesla Stock Price: Gary Black Highlights Why Musk's Leadership Still Anchors Tesla's Valuation

On Thursday, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) CEO Andy Jassy predicted a potential shift in consumer behavior reminiscent of the pandemic era while asserting that the e-commerce giant is doubling down on affordability.
What Happened: During <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45151230/amazon-q1-earnings-double-beat-q2-guidance-ceo-focuses-on-making-customers-lives-easier-and-better">Amazon's first-quarter earnings</a> call, Jassy addressed questions about Amazon's medium-term strategy amid trade tensions and possible tariff hikes.
&#8220;It's hard to tell what's gonna happen with tariffs right now,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;There's maybe never been a more important time in recent memory than than, you know, trying to keep prices low, which we're heads down, pretty maniacally focused on.&#8221;
Jassy highlighted that Amazon is taking several proactive steps, including purchasing more inventory in advance for products it sells directly and encouraging third-party sellers to do the same, to shield customers from potential price increases.

He also pointed out that during the pandemic, customer preferences changed in ways no one expected, and something similar could happen again.
Why It's Important: Amazon reported first-quarter net sales of $155.7 billion, marking a 9% increase from the same period last year and surpassing Wall Street's consensus estimate of $155.04 billion.
For the second quarter, the company expects net sales to range between $159 billion and $164 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 7% to 11%. Analysts, on average, are projecting second-quarter sales of $160.91 billion.
Earlier this week, it was reported that some Amazon sellers are opting out of Prime Day 2025 or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45058018/trumps-145-china-tariffs-spark-seller-backlash-as-amazon-prime-day-2025-faces-pullouts-and-discount-cuts-report">reducing their discounts</a> due to high tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on goods imported from China.
Price Action: Amazon (AMZN) shares rose 3.13% during Thursday&#8217;s regular session, closing at $90.20. However, the stock fell 3.21% in after-hours trading, reaching $184.10, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Amazon holds a robust growth score of 94.08% in the Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> other leading e-commerce competitors.

Andy Jassy Predicts Pandemic-Like Consumer Shifts, Says Amazon Is 'Maniacally Focused' On Keeping Prices Low

Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/45084721/snap-hits-900-million-users-beats-q1-estimates-but-stock-slides-on-uncertainty" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter results</a> on Tuesday and announced it would not provide second-quarter guidance.
Snap reported first-quarter revenue of $1.36 billion, up 14%, topping the Street consensus estimate of $1.35 billion<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0429" rel="noreferrer noopener">.</a>
The company reported an adjusted loss of 8 cents per share, beating a Street consensus estimate of 13 cents per share.

Multiple Wall Street analysts cut their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SNAP/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price targets on</a> the stock.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Brad Erickson maintained a Sector Perform rating with a price target of $12.
Canaccord Capital Markets analyst Maria Ripps maintained a Hold rating with a price target of $9, down from $10.
RBC Capital Markets: Snap&#8217;s first-quarter revenue was roughly in line with expectations, offset mainly by weakness in RoW and, to a lesser degree, Europe. The company&#8217;s DAUs were in line with the outlook and guidance. EBITDA came in materially ahead of expectations, driven by better cost discipline.
So far, in the second quarter of 2025, management notes a headwind for revenue, citing advertisers affected by the de minimis exemptions as an example. Regarding the infrastructure costs per DAU for the quarter, the company anticipates it will fall near the midpoint in the second quarter, with DAUs estimated to be around 468 million.
Investors recognize that Snap tends to lose share during moments of macro weakness, and this report will likely reinforce those views, particularly given 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>) Google&#8217;s much more balanced tone last week (also historically consistent).
Adding to the pain, investors also walked away from the call with unanswered questions regarding how to think about the regional exposure, i.e., China-based advertisers, and whether the weakness is more from APAC or non-China advertisers with China supply chain &amp; de minimis exposure.
Erickson is intrigued at Snap&#8217;s opportunity with Spotlight to drive engagement with accretive monetization over time, but given its platform changes are moving slowly and the platform&#8217;s tendency to underperform during softer macro periods, the analyst lacks arguments to get more constructive beyond that, the stock has come down.
Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) should be better off, given its similar level of advertiser depth, which can fill in auction holes left by the most affected advertisers.
Erickson projected second-quarter revenue of $1.31 billion.
Canaccord Capital Markets: Snap&#8217;s first-quarter results were solid relative to expectations, with MAUs eclipsing 900 million for the first time, total revenue coming in modestly above consensus, and profitability solidly above guidance.
Consistent with the past two quarters, advertising revenue growth decelerated slightly but increased ~9%, with DR revenue maintaining mid-teens growth and comprising 75% of total advertising revenue for the first time. Total active advertisers increased by 60% in the first quarter, reflecting efforts to onboard more SMBs onto the platform, and Snap is increasingly focused on ramping spend from medium-sized advertisers.
Other revenue delivered another quarter of robust growth thanks to Snapchat+, now at a $600 million revenue run rate.
Snap expects stable trends going forward. Global time spent watching content grew in the first quarter, reflecting continued investment in AI models to support better content ranking and personalization.
These new models can integrate new trends and user interaction signals at double the pace of prior models, which helped the number of views on Spotlight posts. For My AI, improvements to responsiveness drove a 55% increase in the number of My AI DAUs in the US.
Given macro-related uncertainty, Snap did not provide formal second-quarter financial guidance. Management noted that it has seen headwinds to start the quarter as the cohort of advertisers impacted by changes to the de minimis exemption has curtailed spending. The company did indicate that it was still growing quarter-to-date.
Price Action: SNAP stock closed lower by 1.63% to $7.83 on Thursday.

Analyst Cautions On Snap As Meta And Google Benefit From Ad Spending Shifts

Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>), expressed excitement about the upcoming delivery of the firm&#8217;s first Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining hardware on Thursday, developed as part of its mining products suite, Proto.
What Happened:&nbsp;During the company&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call, Dorsey confirmed that Block was on track to deliver the mining chips and systems in the second half of the year. 
&#8220;And the reason we're so excited is because we've seen this huge opportunity with Bitcoin miners and the systems that they have to deal with on a regular basis,&#8221; Dorsey stated. He noted the huge potential of the Bitcoin hardware supply industry, estimating it as a $3-6 billion annual revenue opportunity.
Block <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39721727/jack-dorseys-block-makes-historic-bitcoin-mining-chip-sale-to-core-scientific-our-first-mi">inked a deal</a> with leading miner Core Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>) last year to supply 15 exahashes per second (EH/s) worth of ASIC chips.

Talking about Proto, Dorsey stated that the company focused on reliability and flexibility and that they have been in close communication with customers to understand their needs.
&#8220;We have very close relationships with our vendors and our manufacturers, and building in the United States. So these are all things that add up to a pretty compelling product,&#8221; Dorsey added.
Why It Matters: Block has been striving to expand its Bitcoin mining business. It launched the Proto mining suite that consists of ASIC chips, mining rigs, and developer tools, with a special focus on supporting smaller players and home mining.
Dorsey previously voiced optimism in the suite&#8217;s potential to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43873297/jack-dorseys-block-is-really-excited-about-this-bitcoin-mining-initiative-that-aims-to-challenge-the-dominance-of-foreign-firms">challenge foreign dominance </a>in the Bitcoin mining industry
The&nbsp;focus on domestic manufacturing comes at a time when U.S. miners are bracing for potential business disruptions due to escalating trade tariffs with China, home to the world&#8217;s largest Bitcoin hardware makers. According to analysts, American miners were <a href="https://www.hashlabs.io/blog/how-trump-s-tariffs-will-affect-bitcoin-mining" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">looking</a>&nbsp;at a 22–36% increase in the cost of mining machines.
Block reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152696/block-shares-drop-after-worse-than-expected-q1-results-details">worse-than-expected</a> first-quarter results after Thursday&#8217;s market close, with earnings and revenue missing analysts&#8217; estimates.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $97,151.14, up 2.47% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Shares of Block bled 18.4% in after-hours trading after closing 0.02% higher at $58.48 during Thursday&#8217;s regular session.
The stock exhibited a very high growth score—a measure of the stock&#8217;s combined historical expansion in earnings and revenue across multiple periods.
