Bernstein Maintains Market Perform on Etsy, Raises Price Target to $50

Shares of Centene Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNC#NYSE">CNC</a>) are trading lower on Thursday, hitting a new 52-week low, as worsening news from a key competitor intensified investor fears about the profitability of government-sponsored health plans. 
What To Know: The sell-off was triggered by Elevance Health, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46468951/elevance-health-hit-by-medicaid-troubles-trims-outlook">reported</a> a miss on second-quarter earnings and drastically slashed its full-year profit guidance, validating the market pressures Centene itself had recently flagged.
Elevance cut its 2025 adjusted earnings forecast from over $34 per share to approximately $30, citing "elevated medical cost trends" in its Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid businesses. The company's benefit expense ratio swelled, indicating it was paying out more than expected for member medical care, a direct hit to its bottom line.
This announcement pours salt on an open wound for Centene, a company heavily focused on the ACA marketplace and Medicaid. Earlier in July, Centene's stock suffered a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46248507/centene-cnc-stocks-historic-drop-what-investors-need-to-know">historic collapse</a> after it withdrew its own 2025 financial outlook. 
The company's decision followed an actuarial data review showing its member base was sicker and more expensive than projected, leading to an anticipated $1.8 billion reduction in risk adjustment revenue.
Elevance's guidance shock confirms that the high medical costs and risk-pricing challenges are a sector-wide crisis, not a problem isolated to Centene.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a>, which ranks stocks based on four critical factors, Centene exhibits a distinct profile of strengths and weaknesses. The stock scores exceptionally well on Value, with a rating of 91.06, suggesting it is significantly undervalued compared to its peers or fundamental worth. 
It also shows solid Growth potential with a score of 69.56. However, these positive attributes are sharply contrasted by extremely low scores in Momentum (6.04) and Quality (5.46). 
This combination indicates that while the stock may be cheap with good growth prospects, its recent price performance has been very poor and its underlying financial health could be a concern.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, CNC shares are trading lower by 2.93% to $29.52 Thursday morning. The stock has a 52-week high of $80.59 and a 52-week low of $29.30.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CNC Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Centene&#8217;s case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Centene Stock Hit A New 52-Week Low Today: What's Going On?

Keybanc analyst Justin Patterson reiterated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an Overweight rating</a> for Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and raised the price forecast from $655 to $800 on Wednesday, citing strong second-quarter ad trends, stable macro conditions, and momentum in AI.
Patterson increased his 2025 and 2026 revenue and earnings estimates for Meta, anticipating a better-than-expected performance driven by resilient ad spending, improving travel trends, and a weakening U.S. dollar.

He also highlighted strength in tariff-sensitive sectors like autos and retail, and noted that large tech firms are benefiting from a "reverse acqui-hire" trend, boosting talent acquisition.
Patterson's updated target is based on projected Q2 revenue of $45.3 billion and Q3 guidance of $46.5 billion. Despite higher capex and opex from AI investments, he remains bullish, now forecasting 2027 revenue of $244 billion and EPS of $32.01.
Price Action: META stock is trading lower by 0.22% to $701.46 at last check on Thursday.

Meta Flexes Ad Strength, Analyst Cites Travel Trends And Weak US Dollar

While two of the most outspoken figures in business and media say retirement is overrated or unnecessary, most Americans still see it as one of life's biggest goals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financially Stressful, But Emotionally Rewarding</h2>
In a recent <a href="https://x.com/GrantCardone/status/1945407404084269117">post on X</a>, billionaire investor Grant Cardone listed three reasons he'll never retire: Love for work, purpose and challenges and deadlines. He wrote, "Work gives me a sense of purpose and contribution," and "I do better when there are challenges to be resolved by some time. I like &#8216;can we do it?&#8217;"
Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro voiced similar views last year, <a href="https://x.com/benshapiro/status/1767613281596784759?lang=en">saying</a> on his podcast, "No one in the United States should be retiring at 65 years old. Frankly, I think retirement itself is a stupid idea unless you have some sort of health problem." He argued that people need purpose and added in a post on X that "If you are mentally and physically healthy, taxpayers should not pay you to retire at 65."

</ul>
Shapiro also pointed to economics, <a href="https://x.com/benshapiro/status/1767614732108759321">writing</a>, "America will have to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44552100/i-have-no-doubt-theyre-going-to-raise-the-full-retirement-age-possibly-to-70-suze-orman-weighs-in-on-social-security-fears">raise the retirement age</a> because economics exist. Your choices are massive tax increases on the middle class (a la Europe) and raising the retirement age. There is no third choice."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most Americans Still Want to Retire</h2>
But the majority of Americans don't share Cardone and Shapiro's stance. According to a 2024 <a href="https://www.wealthenhancement.com/blog/retirement-survey-are-americans-ready-for-retirement-see-how-you-compare">survey</a> by Wealth Enhancement Group, 77% of U.S. adults say they feel happy or grateful when thinking about retirement. Among those already retired, 90% said they didn't regret it, and 33% said it was even better than expected.
Despite that optimism, the financial side of retirement is a major concern. More than half of Americans who haven&#8217;t retired yet say <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/24/07/39648173/how-does-inflation-impact-retirement">inflation</a> has delayed their goals by an average of eight years or more. About 80% doubt they'll have enough money to fund their ideal retirement.

Confidence varies by generation. Millennials are the most optimistic, with 37% saying they're on track and 5% saying they've already hit their goals. Gen Xers, on the other hand, are the least prepared, with 25% saying they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45609421/i-am-just-done-gen-x-er-wants-to-retire-at-55-but-has-no-money-saved-in-a-single-income-household-why-does-everyt">haven't set any retirement goals</a>.
Still, Americans aren't giving up. In the survey, a majority say they're taking steps to improve their finances, such as saving more money monthly and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-create-a-budget">keeping a budget</a>. Retirees who planned ahead are more likely to include things like philanthropy, estate planning, and long-term care in their financial strategies.
What do people want most from retirement? Travel, hobbies, relaxation, and time with family. While Gen Z and Gen X prioritize travel, millennials value family time, and boomers want to rest.
Even with the challenges, retirement remains a defining goal for most. As Wealth Enhancement's Ayako Yoshioka put it, "When considering your golden years, a good plan centers on what you want out of life. First comes the vision, then come the numbers."

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning MercadoLibre Stock In The Last 5 Years

Editor's note: The article and headline have been corrected to clarify Chamath Palihapitiya's SPAC involvement and update the price performance.
Three SPAC‑listed companies—SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) and Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: OPEN), both taken public via <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chamath-palihapitiya">Chamath Palihapitiya</a>–sponsored vehicles, and MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP), which merged with Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. in a deal anchored by a PIPE that included Palihapitiya—are staging an unexpected comeback in 2025, posting year‑to‑date returns that outpace even tech giant Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA). <a href="https://mpmaterials.com/news//press-release-11-17-2020/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Surging Stock Performance</h2>
While Nvidia remains a headline grabber with a monthly gain of roughly 20%, Chamath's SPAC trio has quietly delivered impressive returns. Opendoor ($OPEN) leads the pack, rallying around 190% over the past month, followed by MP Materials ($MP) at 65% and SoFi ($SOFI) up about 52%.
This resurgence marks a significant turnaround after years of skepticism surrounding SPACs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why The Revival?</h2>
These stocks have shaken off their "SPAC stigma" by showing improving fundamentals and strategic pivots. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>SoFi, initially a fintech darling, has broadened its offerings and grown its user base. </li>
<li>MP Materials, a company specializing in rare-earth materials, benefits from increased demand amid supply chain and geopolitical tensions.</li>
<li>Opendoor, despite some headwinds, has optimized its operations and is riding a recovering real estate market.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What About $SPCE?</h2>
Investors are now closely watching&nbsp;Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPCE#NYSE">SPCE</a>), the original space-focused SPAC, to see if it can join this rally.
While SPCE&#8217;s 29% gain over the past month pales in comparison to other SPACs, it still manages to outshine Nvidia. The momentum in Chamath's SPACs raises questions about whether a broader "Chamath revival" is underway or if these gains are isolated.

Mondelez International is trading higher after Jefferies upgraded the stock from hold to buy and raised its price target from $66 to $78.

Shares of auto retail ecosystem companies have outperformed year-to-date, despite the announcement of auto tariffs and industry fundamentals weakening "even before the impact of tariffs have flowed through to vehicle pricing," according to JPMorgan.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e68c15a5f2b9b0001143528/rajat-gupta">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e68c15a5f2b9b0001143528/rajat-gupta">Rajat Gupta</a> changed ratings on these four stocks.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Cars.com</h1>
JPMorgan upgraded the rating for Cars.com Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CARS#NYSE">CARS</a>) from Neutral to Overweight, while establishing a price target of $14.
Shares of companies in the business-to-consumer)marketplaces have underperformed franchise dealers so far this year, Gupta said. Although B2C marketplaces are not immune to broader industry pressures, they are better positioned than business-to-business marketplaces, he added.
Cars.com has taken "significant strides in developing new products and solutions that integrate them into dealers' operational workflows, including market intelligence, consumer sourcing functionalities, D2D wholesale, and online retailing, which bodes well for the retention of dealer customers, even amid a volatile industry backdrop," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Sonic Automotive</h1>
The analyst downgraded Sonic Automotive Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAH#NYSE">SAH</a>) from Overweight to Underweight, while raising the price target from $65 to $72.
While Sonic Automotive boasts a "strong luxury brand mix and exposure to California and Texas," the company has underperformed its peers, the analyst stated. Its stock currently trades at a premium to peers, "despite macro and industry headwinds and elevated balance sheet leverage," he added. &nbsp;
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Group 1 Automotive</h1>
JPMorgan downgraded Group 1 Automotive Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPI#NYSE">GPI</a>) from Overweight to Neutral, while reducing the price target from $435 to $415.
The company's execution has been solid for several years, "with favorable Texas exposure serving as a relative tailwind," Gupta said. He added, however, that concentration in one state makes for increased volatility, "as regional economic conditions could significantly impact growth."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Asbury Automotive Group</h1>
Gupta downgraded Asbury Automotive Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABG#NYSE">ABG</a>) from Neutral to Underweight, while cutting the price target from $235 to $225.
"While Asbury's strategic acquisitions, expansion into captive warranty, and digital investments like Clicklane position it for long-term growth, JPMorgan sees the risk-reward as unfavorable due to integration and execution risks, elevated leverage, and underperformance in used vehicle gross profit since 2019," the analyst wrote.
CARS, SAH, GPI, ABG Price Action: At the time of publication on Thursday,
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Shares of Cars.com had risen by 4.54% to $12.89.</li>
<li>Sonic Automotive's stock had declined by 8.79% to $77.68.</li>

Cintas is trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 EPS and sales.

Editor&#8217;s Note: The title of the story has been corrected to reflect that the outlook was raised, instead of the erroneous &#8220;outlook cut&#8221; mentioned in the original title.
Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) reported second-quarter 2025 earnings on Thursday and raised its full-year earnings forecast.
Quarterly sales reached $14.05 billion, almost in line with the analysts&#8217; consensus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimate of $14.06 billion</a>.
Net sales <a target="_blank" href="https://www.novartis.com/news/media-releases/novartis-reports-strong-q2-double-digit-sales-growth-and-core-margin-expansion-raises-fy-2025-core-operating-income-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">grew</a> 12% year over year (+11% on constant currency or cc) with core operating income up 20% to $5.93 billion (+21% on constant currency).

Novartis reported adjusted earnings of $2.42 per share, beating the consensus of $2.38.
The company also announced a substantial share buyback program. Novartis said it is initiating a share buyback of up $10 billion to be completed by year-end 2027.
&#8220;Our robust balance sheet and confidence in our mid- and long-term growth enable us to initiate an up-to $10 billion share buyback as part of our commitment to balanced capital allocation,&#8221; stated CEO Vas Narasimhan in a statement on Thursday.
Earlier in July, Novartis released topline results from the Phase 3 GCAptAIN study evaluating Cosentyx (secukinumab) for newly diagnosed or relapsing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">giant cell arteritis (GCA)</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook</h2>
For fiscal year 2025, Novartis reaffirms that net sales will grow in the high single digits. 2025 core operating income is expected to grow in the low teens, compared to the low double <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45075714/novartis-q1-earnings-beat-street-view-ceo-confident-to-deliver-upgraded-2025-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">digits forecasted earlier</a>.
&#8220;We continue to assume Entresto US generic entry in mid-2025 for forecasting purposes, though the timing of generic entry is subject to ongoing IP and regulatory litigation,&#8221; Novartis said in the release.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Management Update</h2>
In a separate announcement, Novartis provided a key leadership update: Chief Financial Officer Harry Kirsch will <a target="_blank" href="https://www.novartis.com/news/media-releases/novartis-appoints-mukul-mehta-chief-financial-officer-harry-kirsch-retires-after-22-years-company" rel="noreferrer noopener">retire</a> in March 2026, concluding an impressive 22-year tenure at the company, including 12 years in the CFO role since 2013.
He will be succeeded by Mukul Mehta, who currently serves as the company&#8217;s head of business planning and analysis, digital finance, and tax.

In the case of Webull, which is trading at $13.70 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 7.3 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Webull Stock Is Trading Higher Thursday: What's Going On?

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) stock is trading higher on Thursday after the company issued an after-hours update on ongoing label expansion efforts for Elevidys, its approved gene therapy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for Duchenne muscular dystrophy</a>.
The U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has requested that the label include a black box warning for acute liver injury (ALI) and acute liver failure (ALF).
Sarepta agrees with this change, which appears to resolve any material issues with the ambulant portion of the Elevidys label. In June, Sarepta temporarily suspended shipments of Elevidys for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/fda/25/06/45945282/sarepta-therapeutics-stock-plummets-over-40-on-second-fatal-case-linked-to-its-gene-therapy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">non-ambulatory patients</a>.

A Sarepta committee is reviewing cases of ALF and exploring additional <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46454162/sarepta-therapeutics-announces-strategic-restructuring-and-pipeline-prioritization-plan-to-maintai" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">immunosuppression regimens</a>. The committee agreed on an enhanced immunosuppressive regimen with sirolimus for Elevidys in non-ambulant patients.
Sarepta will submit the expert panel&#8217;s findings and proposed protocol to the FDA and will discuss a proposal to gather data on the regimen in a new cohort (Cohort 8) of the ENDEAVOR study (Study SRP-9001-103) as a pathway to re-establish dosing in the non-ambulant setting.
Additionally, Sarepta is assessing real-world data generation opportunities for ambulant patients through investigator-initiated trials.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Restructuring</h2>
The company announced a strategic restructuring plan to prioritize programs, meet its 2027 financial obligations, and support its long-term financial viability.
The measures are projected to deliver approximately $400 million in annual cost reductions, significantly lowering the company&#8217;s average annual non-GAAP R&amp;D and SG&amp;A expenses to between $800 million and $900 million starting in 2026. These include:
A 36% workforce reduction, impacting approximately 500 employees, projected to generate approximately $120 million in annual cash cost savings in 2026
Pipeline reprioritization is expected to deliver approximately $300 million in annual non-personnel cost savings starting in 2026
Over $100 million in cost savings anticipated through the end of 2025, net of estimated severance and one-time charges totaling $32-$37 million
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preliminary Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights</h2>
Total net product revenue of $513 million, with Elevidys revenue of $282 million. RNA-based PMOs net product revenue of $231 million.
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments of approximately $850 million as of June 30.
Sarepta will continue to support its four on-market Duchenne therapies and all associated clinical trial activities.
The strategic pivot emphasizes chronically administered therapies for neurodegenerative and pulmonary diseases.
This reprioritization will result in the pause of several programs, including most of the gene therapies in development for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD).
Sarepta expects to submit the Biologics License Application for SRP-9003 for LGMD type 2E/R4 later this year.
Sarepta intends to seek strategic alternatives, including partnering, for programs that it no longer intends to fund directly.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Management Update</h2>
In conjunction with the restructuring, Sarepta named Ian Estepan President and Chief Operating Officer and Ryan Wong CFO.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Take</h2>
William Blair writes that the FDA&#8217;s request for a black box warning suggests that complete removal of Elevidys from the market is highly unlikely.
&#8220;&#8230;we believe investors have increased confidence that the company can pay off its long-term debts&#8230;,&#8221; analyst Sami Corwin wrote on Thursday.
William Blair expects Elevidys to face short-term challenges as patients and doctors are showing more hesitation.
The analyst also notes that investors are likely to remain cautious about Elevidys's long-term potential until early results from the ENDEAVOR trial demonstrate that the updated immunosuppression approach is effective and sales resume among patients who can still walk.
William Blair reiterates the Market Perform rating.
Price Action: SRPT stock is up 15.9% at $21.30 at the last check on Thursday

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEGG Media Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEGG#NASDAQ">SEGG</a>, LTRYW))) ("SEGG Media" or the "Company"), a leading technology company transforming the global intersection of sports, entertainment and gaming today announced its first official football league partnership in the Indian subcontinent through a five-year commercial agreement with the Super League Kerala ("SLK"), valued at more than $11.6 million.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said that automation and tapping into the Medicaid population are key to replacing migrant farmworkers, as the Trump administration continues its mass deportation efforts.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Amnesty, Strategic Deportations</h2>
&#8220;The president has been unequivocal that there will be no amnesty, and I think that&#8217;s very, very important,&#8221; Rollins told reporters during a July 8 press <a href="https://www.c-span.org/program/news-conference/protecting-us-agriculture-against-foreign-threats/662188">conference</a>. &#8220;We must be strategic in how we are implementing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943800/trump-orders-ice-to-launch-the-single-largest-mass-deportation-program-in-history-targeting-los-angeles-chicago-and-new-york">mass deportation</a> so as not to compromise our food supply.&#8221;

</ul>
Rollins appeared alongside Republican governors Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas and Bill Lee of Tennessee to announce the USDA National Farm Security Action Plan. The plan aims to block foreign threats, especially from China, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/07/46340278/i-would-disappear-politician-who-fled-communist-china-says-they-want-me-to-shut-up-about-chinas-soft-power-invasion-of-u-s-water-farml">protect U.S. farmland</a>, secure the national food supply and safeguard agricultural research.
She also addressed concerns over foreign ownership of farmland in states like California, saying the issue crosses party lines.
&#8220;Even the Democrat governors and even the blue states realize what a massive threat this is to national security,&#8221; Rollins said. &#8220;We plan to work with everyone no matter which side of the aisle they are from to ensure that the people of this country and our agricultural farmland is protected.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Workforce Shift Ahead</h2>
Rollins said the president's long-term vision is a "100% American workforce," and that automation and Medicaid work requirements will help make that possible.
"There are 34 million able-bodied adults in our Medicaid program," she said. "There are plenty of workers in America. We just have to make sure we&#8217;re not compromising today."
President Trump&#8217;s recently signed tax and spending bill includes the first federally mandated work requirements for Medicaid recipients. Those rules are set to roll out by the end of 2026.

Rollins emphasized that while deportations would continue, they would be handled in a way that doesn&#8217;t harm the agriculture sector. &#8220;Ultimately, the answer on this is automation, also some reform within the current governing structure,&#8221; she said.
Trump recently hinted at limited flexibility for farmers. "The farmer knows he&#8217;s not going to hire a murderer," he told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-urges-temporary-pass-from-immigration-crackdown-key-industries-i-cherish-our-farmers">Fox News</a> end of June, suggesting farmers could help determine who is eligible to stay. "And when we go into a farm and we take away people that have been working there for 15 and 20 years, who were good, who possibly came in incorrectly. And what we're going to do is we're going to do something for farmers where we can let the farmer sort of be in charge."
