'Texas Governor Signs Bill To Create Ibogaine Research Consortium, Aiming To Develop FDA-Approved Psychedelic Drug' - Marijuana Moment

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) shares are moving higher on Wednesday. Analysts at RBC Capital and TD Securities weighed in on the stock. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">you need to know</a>.
The Details: RBC Capital analyst Logan Reich maintained an Outperform rating on Starbucks and raised the price target from $95 to $100.
Following the company's Leadership Experience day, the RBC Capital analyst has greater confidence in the company&#8217;s new strategy and believes increased labor hours will help drive traffic growth at Starbucks locations.
TD Securities analyst Andrew Charles reiterated a Hold rating on Starbucks with a $90 price target, pointing to accelerated timelines for the company&#8217;s Green Apron service model roll-out. 
Charles believes the anticipated 12% staffing increase through the addition of assistant managers at &#8220;most&#8221; Starbucks locations will hurt earnings in 2026 and 2027.
Despite the mixed reactions from analysts, Starbucks shares are moving higher on Wednesday, last up more than 4%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is SBUX A Good Stock To Buy?</h3>
When deciding whether to buy a stock, there are some key fundamentals investors may want to consider. One of these factors is revenue growth. Buying a stock is essentially a bet that the business will continue to grow and generate profits in the future. Starbucks has reported average annual revenue growth of 11.72% over the past five years.
It's also important to pay attention to valuation when deciding whether to buy a stock. Starbucks has a forward P/E ratio of 30.49. This means investors are paying $30.49 for each dollar of expected earnings in the future. The average forward P/E ratio of Starbucks' peers is 62.1.
Other important metrics to look at include a company's profitability, balance sheet, performance relative to a benchmark index. For in-depth analysis tools and important financial data, check out <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a>.

What's Going On With Starbucks Stock Wednesday?

Apple Inc (NASADQ: AAPL) shares are trading lower Wednesday afternoon as investors continue to digest announcements from this week&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/wwdc">Worldwide Developers Conference</a>. 
What To Know: The much-anticipated event showcased updates across Apple&#8217;s operating systems, including a new design language called &#8220;Liquid Glass,&#8221; but left some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45863934/apple-stock-disappoints-after-wwdc-analyst-says-this-price-is-better-entry-level-for-investors">analysts</a> and investors underwhelmed by its advancements in artificial intelligence.
The market&#8217;s reaction suggests that the incremental updates and a delayed overhaul of its voice assistant, Siri, failed to impress. Bloomberg&#8217;s Mark Gurman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45851232/apples-lack-of-new-ai-features-at-wwdc-is-startling-expert-says">called</a> the lack of &#8220;any real new AI features&#8230;startling.&#8221;

Similarly, Needham analyst Laura Martin reiterated a &#8220;Hold&#8221; rating, stating that nothing presented would catalyze an immediate iPhone upgrade cycle. She noted that most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45863934/apple-stock-disappoints-after-wwdc-analyst-says-this-price-is-better-entry-level-for-investors">announcements</a> had been widely reported beforehand, leaving &#8220;no surprises&#8221; for Wall Street.
However, not all sentiment was negative. Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45860365/goldman-sachs-stays-bullish-on-apple-despite-post-wwdc25-stock-dip-sees-25-upside">maintained</a> a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating and a $253 price target, arguing that the ecosystem&#8217;s &#8220;stickiness&#8221; and forthcoming hardware refreshes would continue to drive value. 
TechRadar also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45851232/apples-lack-of-new-ai-features-at-wwdc-is-startling-expert-says">highlighted</a> the potential of Apple opening its Foundation AI Models to developers, suggesting it could secure the company&#8217;s future.
Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, Apple&#8217;s stock is trading lower by 1.77% to $199.09 late Wednesday, near session lows.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy AAPL 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 Apple&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology 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.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AAPL has a 52-week high of $260.09 and a 52-week low of $169.21.

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) — with a 479% rally over the past year and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45888121/palantir-technologies-pltr-stock-soars-to-new-all-time-high-whats-driving-the-rally">fresh all-time high</a> of $137 per share — has turned it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">into an AI darling</a>. 
As the stock soars, a wave of thematic ETFs built around artificial intelligence and innovation are quietly becoming more reliant on its performance. What started as a diversified bet on the AI revolution is, for some funds, turning into a high-stakes wager on a single stock's ability to keep flying.
Now, a flurry of thematic and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">tech-focused ETFs</a>, especially those that pay special attention to artificial intelligence, are quietly cashing in.
Yet with great returns comes great responsibility. Palantir's sharp rise has brought in both performance boosts and portfolio concentration headaches across several funds.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs In Focus</h3>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>): Cathie Wood&#8216;s flagship fund has held Palantir as a core conviction bet for years. Palantir has been ARKK&#8217;s top 10 holding in the past two years at times, a reflection of Wood&#8217;s belief in the stock&#8217;s longer-term AI potential. As Palantir&#8217;s market cap grows, its weighting in the ETF has crept up to 4.65, enhancing the ETF&#8217;s near-term performance and its volatility profile. ARKK has been helped in the past month by a performance tailwind in part provided by Palantir, but investors are becoming more exposed to single-stock volatility swings.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>): This ETF is trying to ride the winners of the AI revolution, and Palantir is one of them. Although AIQ has a wider diversification mandate than ARKK, its growing exposure to Palantir (due to appreciation, not accumulation) makes it similarly sensitive to the stock&#8217;s volatility, as well. The fund has had a good year to date with 10% gains, with PLTR significantly contributing to that gain.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Roundhill Generative AI &amp; Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHAT#NYSE">CHAT</a>): CHAT offers pure-play exposure to the generative AI space. Palantir&#8217;s increasing brand reputation for enterprise AI, health optimization, and aviation software can add to its sway within theme ETFs like CHAT that aim to capture the full scope of AI innovation and not just semis and hyperscalers. Currently PLTR is among the top five stocks held in the fund&#8217;s portfolio, with a 4.1% weightage.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">More Juice Or Just Hype</h3>
Palantir&#8217;s fundamentals are sound:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>33% revenue growth</li>
<li>80% margins, and </li>
<li>A steady stream of government and commercial contracts.</li>
</ul>
But the valuation is frothy. Mizuho raised its price target on PLTR from $94 to $116 but still maintains an Underperform rating, citing concerns that the stock is now trading well above its fair value.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Investors Need To Be Careful</h3>
Funds like ARKK and AIQ that are loading up in high-conviction growth stocks will, naturally, benefit from the payoff of outliers. But they risk getting swept in the downdraft if the environment shifts. Passive investors may not even know that Palantir&#8217;s stunning growth has quietly altered the risk-return nature of their seemingly diversified ETFs.
Thematically, Palantir&#8217;s rise has wider implications. It implies that enterprise software (i.e., AI-based analytics) is gaining ground in the AI arms race previously dominated by semiconductor giants such as Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). 
ETF sponsors are reacting: newer AI ETFs are beginning to rebalance more significantly toward high-margin software stocks with real enterprise traction.
While Palantir&#8217;s surge has been a boost for AI ETFs, it&#8217;s also a warning that thematic funds can get top-heavy overnight. What starts as a diversified AI bet can subtly transform into a high-beta wager on a small group of stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line </h3>
Palantir&#8217;s record is dazzling, and AI-themed ETFs have ridden the trend to impressive gains. 
But as the stock becomes an ever-larger slice of the pie in several funds, investors would do well to check their ETF holdings and wonder how much they now own in a company that&#8217;s soaring to new heights, but riding turbulence. 
After all, what Palantir provides, Palantir itself can withdraw, especially in ETFs built for long-term trends but driven by short-term surges.

Palantir Powers Up: AI ETFs Ride The Rally, But At What Cost?

Software company Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) could highlight its new content creator tools and how AI will power future growth when it releases its second-quarter financial results Thursday<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> after market close.</a>
Here are analyst estimates, what experts are saying and key items to watch.
 Earnings Estimates: Analysts estimate Adobe will report second-quarter revenue of $5.79 billion, up from $5.31 billion in the second quarter of last year, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0611">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company beat analyst estimates in the last fiscal quarter and has beaten estimates in eight of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts estimate Adobe will report second-quarter earnings per share of $4.96, up from $4.48 in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates in nine of the last ten quarters, including the first quarter.
The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44290452/adobe-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-reaffirmed-fy-guidance-and-more"> company&#8217;s guidance</a> calls for second-quarter revenue to be in the range of $5.77 billion to $5.82 billion and earnings per share to be in the range of $4.95 to $5.00.

What Experts Are Saying: Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods said Adobe has traded lower after six of its last seven quarterly financial reports.
"Adobe earnings have been nothing but a heartache for investors over the last several years," Woods wrote in a weekly <a href="https://jaywoods.substack.com/">newsletter</a>.
He noted that Adobe comes into Thursday's report with shares down 6.4% for the year and just now trading where they were after the drop from the first quarterly report.
"Overall shares remain -35% from all-time highs set back in January 2024."
Woods said investors will likely be looking for progress from Adobe for its AI monetization.
"Is annual recurring revenue from its Firefly and Acrobat products showing a strong growth projection? Then of course the all important guidance."
According to Woods, Adobe shareholders were punished after the first-quarter financial results when the company issued conservative guidance.
"Will forward-looking guidance meet investor expectations?"  
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives highlighted Adobe as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/45790867/how-nvidias-10-ripple-effect-could-lift-adobe-salesforce-servicenow">a potential beneficiary</a> of NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), saying that "for every $1 spent on Nvidia, there is an $8-$10 multiplier across the rest of the tech ecosystem."
The analyst said 2025 could mark the true inflection point in enterprise AI adoption, and many companies, including Adobe, could benefit from Nvidia.
Here are some recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ADBE/analyst-ratings">analyst ratings on Adobe</a> and their price targets:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Citigroup: Maintained Neutral rating, raised price target from $430 to $465</li>
<li>UBS: Maintained Neutral rating, raised price target from $380 to $430</li>
<li>RBC Capital: Reiterated Outperform rating, maintained price target of $480</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: As the experts above predicted, AI will likely be the key topic for investors and analysts when Adobe reports.
First-quarter revenue was up 10% year over year and beat estimates, helping to offset the fourth-quarter results that saw both revenue and EPS miss Street targets.
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen said the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growth of AI helping the creative economy.
"Adobe's success over the next decade will be driven by customer-focused innovation and new offerings for creators, marketing professionals, business professionals and consumers," Narayen said.
Analysts and investors will be closely watching guidance after the company maintained its full-year 2025 estimates despite beating estimates for the quarter.
ADBE Price Action: Adobe stock was down 0.5% to $414.18 on Wednesday, compared to a 52-week trading range of $2332.01 to $587.75. It is down over 6% year-to-date in 2025 and over 10% in the last year.

Plug Power (PLUG) Stock Is Surging Again: What's Driving The Rally?

As gold trades near all-time highs and global central banks ramp up reserves, a bold thesis is emerging from one of Wall Street&#8217;s most influential macro voices: the U.S. Treasury may already be stockpiling gold—and just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">hasn't told anyone yet.</a>
"I think there is a chance that the U.S. Treasury might be participating in this accumulation of gold," said Otavio Costa, portfolio manager at the hedge fund Crescat Capital, in an exclusive interview with Benzinga. 
"If you're a large institution and anything you do moves the market, you don't announce it—you do it first, and tell the world after."
"There is a big chance that the U.S. treasury is already accumulating some gold," he added.
Costa's comments come at a time when gold prices have defied historical relationships, surging in 2025 despite elevated yields and no Federal Reserve rate cuts.&nbsp;
The metal – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – is up over 25% year-to-date, trading near $2,340 per ounce.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is The Treasury Secretly Stockpiling Gold?</h3>
Costa likened the idea to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, suggesting the Treasury could quietly be building a monetary backstop in the form of physical gold.
"It wouldn't fall into the sovereign wealth fund category, but it could fall into the Treasury itself, in terms of ownership of things like oil" he said.
While Costa emphasized that this is speculation and "nobody has any data" to confirm it, he pointed to the disconnect between physical demand and price action as a possible clue.&nbsp;
"We&#8217;ve seen the volume in gold not in line with how much price appreciation we've experienced," he said.
"Large institutions need to go back into owning neutral assets," Costa said. "Gold is the only asset that carries significant history behind it… even more than Bitcoin."
The expert said he couldn't confirm Benzinga's inquiry about the large volumes of gold reportedly moved from London to New York this year as a possible sign of U.S. Treasury accumulation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Central Banks Are Still Underinvested In Gold</h3>
Gold&#8217;s bullish thesis, according to Costa, remains intact not just because of potential U.S. accumulation but due to historically low central bank allocation.
&nbsp;"We&#8217;re still about 20% of central banks' balance sheets in terms of metal ownership," he said.
That's well below the 75% peak seen in the late 1970s and early 1980s.&nbsp;
"Once we see gold allocation by central banks get back to above 60% or 70%, I'll probably change my views," Costa added. "But we are very far from that."
Costa also highlighted how dramatically investor sentiment has changed over the past few years.
"Three years ago, the biggest question I used to have was if Bitcoin was going to replace gold. Do you know how many times I get asked that question now? Never," he said.
According to Costa, gold's strong performance has reestablished its role as the premier monetary asset, especially in a world grappling with debt, inflation and geopolitical realignment.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lower Interest Rates, Deglobalization Could Further Fuel The Gold Boom</h3>
Unlike previous cycles, gold's rally has unfolded without help from falling interest rates or declining real yields. Costa says the traditional relationship between gold and real rates is breaking down.
"Real rates could be a challenging way to forecast gold now," he said.&nbsp;
"Eventually, we're going to have to force yields lower to manage the debt problem, and that's when gold has its best moment."
Another long-term driver Costa cited is the global trend toward deglobalization, which supports increased holdings of neutral reserve assets like gold.

Reuters Cites City of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Saying "I Want To Speak To Trump"

Bank of America Securities analyst Bryan D. Spillan remains bullish on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) and Monster Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNST#NASDAQ">MNST</a>), citing resilient growth, strategic tailwinds, and improving fundamentals across the broader Coke system <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">despite near-term macro volatility</a>.
In a recent report on The Coca-Cola Co. and its global system of publicly traded bottlers (incl. Monster Energy), BofA Securities said the investment case for giants like The Coca-Cola Company and Monster Beverage Corporation remains robust, fueled by strong consumer demand.
Coca-Cola Company: The analyst presented a detailed overview of this beverage giant&#8217;s bottlers, who contribute 55% of global volume.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45656046/us-nonalcoholic-beverage-sector-focuses-on-revenue-growth-as-functional-trends-drive-value-says-analyst-covering-coca-cola-kdp-more" rel="noreferrer noopener">Less Sip, More Profit: Beverage Giants Thrive Without Pouring More</a>
While second-quarter volume may face temporary softness, the analyst writes the second half of 2025 looks favorable for Coca-Cola&#8217;s defensive profile, with potential upside in first-half for underperformers like Coca Cola Femsa S.A.B. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOF#NYSE">KOF</a>), supported by solid fundamentals and coordinated strategy across the Coke System.
BofA Securities notes that Coca-Cola HBC&#8217;s strong growth trajectory remains intact despite a more volatile macro backdrop, with the company gaining 150 bps of NARTD&nbsp;(non-alcoholic ready-to-drink) share in 2024 and nearly 300 bps over the past three years.
Solid revenue trends are driving high-single-digit EBIT and roughly 10% EPS growth, supported by a robust balance sheet that offers flexibility for M&amp;A or increased shareholder returns.
Meanwhile, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners is set up for a stronger second half after lapping a soft summer in 2024, with longer-term tailwinds from rising per capita consumption and income growth in Indonesia and the Philippines expected to support future expansion alongside stable European operations.
BofA Securities highlights that Coca-Cola&#8217;s sustained ~5% organic sales growth, driven by a healthy mix of volume and pricing, continues to outpace multinational peers, though this strength doesn&#8217;t appear fully priced into the stock.
The analyst maintained the Buy rating on the stock with a price forecast of $77.
Monster Beverage: Monster Beverage is also showing signs of recovery, with U.S. volumes rebounding after last year&#8217;s slowdown and international margins trending higher, aided by pricing and steady U.S. demand.
Spillan reiterated the Buy rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $66.
The analyst assigns a premium valuation to Monster Beverage shares relative to large-cap beverage peers and broader consumer staples, citing the company&#8217;s consistently strong growth profile and attractive margin structure as justification.
However, the note outlines several downside risks, including a maturing category that may be losing market share, weaker-than-expected impact from innovation, slower international growth, investor rotation away from defensive stocks, currency headwinds, and a less robust sales outlook for the Bang brand over the medium term.
Price Action: MNST shares are trading lower by 0.56% to $62.68 at last check Wednesday, while KO shares are trading lower by 0.44% to $72.03.

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Indie Semiconductor Through 6 Analysts

As tariff concerns mount, BofA Securities highlights rising caution across specialty retail and department store<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> stocks despite solid first quarter earnings</a>.
BofA Securities notes that most specialty retail and department store stocks appear to have priced in the current 10% universal and 30% China tariffs.
The firm cautions that any further increases — particularly involving Vietnam, a key player in apparel and footwear production — could drive estimated cuts across much of the group.
Analysts note that while first-quarter earnings were largely solid and the consumer has remained resilient, management teams are increasingly uneasy about the second half due to uncertainty over the potential consumer impact of tariffs.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45830194/experiential-retail-is-transforming-american-malls-with-pet-groomers-and-doggy-daycare-iv-drips-and-specialty-grocers" rel="noreferrer noopener">Experiential Retail Is Transforming American Malls With Pet Groomers And Doggy Daycare, IV Drips, And Specialty Grocers</a>
This caution is reflected in more conservative sales outlooks across the sector.
With earnings season wrapped, the focus has shifted toward tariff policy. Apparel and footwear brands have moved much of their production out of China, making Southeast Asia the next key concern.
Recent conversations with executives suggest that a 10% tariff is manageable, with garment OEMs like Makalot and Eclat expecting the cost to be split roughly 2.5% each between themselves and fabric mills, and 5% absorbed by brands, BofA Securities notes.
Some unexpected takeaways emerged this earnings season, including Ross Stores, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROST#NASDAQ">ROST</a>) decision to withdraw guidance and Gap, Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAP#NYSE">GAP</a>) significant margin exposure to tariffs.
Analysts see Ross's move as overly cautious rather than a red flag. Meanwhile, Gap's projected 150 basis-point margin hit in the second half implies minimal room for price hikes — a sensible strategy given Old Navy's budget-conscious customer base.
For Levi Strauss &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEVI#NYSE">LEVI</a>), the analyst writes that tariffs will begin impacting gross margins in the third quarter, and Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) sees tariffs to be more impactful to gross margin in the second half.

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
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.
