Editor&#8217;s Note: This article has been updated to include a response from a KinderCare spokesperson.
KinderCare Learning Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLC#NYSE">KLC</a>) is under fire Thursday following a <a href="https://thebearcave.substack.com/p/problems-at-kindercare-learning-companies">new report</a> from The Bear Cave, which alleges safety failures, regulatory concerns and a deteriorating reputation at the nation's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KLC">largest private childcare provider</a>.
What Happened: The Bear Cave released a short report on KinderCare Thursday, alleging the company is plagued by operational failures that could threaten its stock performance.
"Recent investigations reveal alarming safety incidents, including children left unsupervised, instances of abuse and regulatory violations that raise serious concerns about KinderCare's ability to operate responsibly," the short seller said.
A KinderCare spokesperson told Benzinga that the reported events are isolated incidents and are not reflective of the company&#8217;s values.
&#8220;In the event that incidents do happen in our centers, we have a strict protocol to promptly notify families and licensing agencies. We also work quickly to resolve issues directly with families by taking accountability and addressing what went wrong. To that end, in each of these referenced incidents, we conducted an investigation and have taken all actions necessary to ensure the safety of the children in our care, including the termination of teachers who were at fault,&#8221; a spokesperson for KinderCare said.

KinderCare operates roughly 1,500 childcare centers across 41 states and relies heavily on government funding. The company went public in 2022, positioning itself as a leader in early childhood education.
The Bear Cave&#8217;s report cites troubling incidents, including a <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/south/2024/11/20/cudahy-woman-pleads-guilty-in-oak-creek-kindercare-cocaine-case/76434101007/">case</a> where an 11-month-old tested positive for cocaine at a KinderCare center in Wisconsin. Other reports detail children <a href="https://wcti12.com/news/local/teachers-on-leave-after-toddler-wanders-onto-busy-road-from-daycare">escaping</a> facilities, being <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-mom-finds-toddler-locked-day-care-workers-left-day-rcna16918">locked</a> inside after closing hours and experiencing mistreatment by staff.
&#8220;In sum, The Bear Cave believes KinderCare is a broken business that harms the children and families it claims to help,&#8221; the short seller said.
The Bear Cave reported that KinderCare has faced repeated scrutiny from regulatory agencies. The short seller believes growing concerns could impact its ability to secure funding and expand operations.
The short seller also highlighted online complaints from parents and former employees, with some alleging understaffing, inadequate training and neglect.
KLC Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/klc">KinderCare shares</a> are falling by 10.8 % during Thursday&#8217;s session, trading at $11.40 at the time of publication.

Short Seller Slams KinderCare Over Safety Failures, Stock Hits New 52-Week Low (UPDATED)

Sempra's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRE#NYSE">SRE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 24.03% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.89 million shares sold short, which is 1.17% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.14 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Sempra has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Sempra's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sempra's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.96%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on VICI Properties?

Demand in the airline sector weakened throughout the first quarter, with expectations of a tough earnings season featuring lower second-quarter forecasts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airlines" rel="noreferrer noopener">and reduced 2025 earnings guidance.</a>
Airline stocks are down 24% year-to-date, and BofA Securities analyst Andrew G. Didora notes that demand recovery hinges on achieving macroeconomic stability.
The positive outlook for the airline industry in 2024 was initially based on steady demand, but that has shifted since early February due to factors like macro uncertainty, cuts in DOGE, weaker consumer confidence, poor transborder traffic, stagnating business travel, and slowing transatlantic demand, the analyst writes.
Per Didora, the upcoming first quarter of 2025 earnings season is expected to show weak second-quarter forecasts and lowered 2025 earnings guidance, with analysts adjusting their estimates and price targets.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/03/44192357/united-airlines-starlink-rollout-to-boost-regional-aircraft-wi-fi-speed-by-50x" rel="noreferrer noopener">United Airlines&#8217; Starlink Rollout To Boost Regional Aircraft Wi-Fi Speed By 50x</a>
Due to weakening demand and pricing in 1Q25, the airline industry is expected to finish March with pricing at its lowest levels in several quarters.
Airlines need macroeconomic stability for demand to recover and reverse the 24% decline in stock prices year-to-date, the analyst notes.
Here are Didora&#8217;s key takeaways in some of the biggest players in the space:
<ul>
<li>The analyst reiterated the Buy rating on Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), lowering the price forecast from $65 to $56.</li>
<li>Didora maintained the Buy rating on United Airlines Holdings, Inc.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), reducing the price forecast from $110 to $100.</li>
<li>The analyst reiterated the Neutral rating on American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>), lowering the price forecast from $16 to $12.</li>
</ul>
The analyst observes that, based on Bank of America&#8217;s aggregated credit and debit card data, spending slowed by 400bps from January to February, and March remained at February&#8217;s levels.
The analyst anticipates that 2025 earnings per share (EPS) forecasts will be at risk, with new projections showing that all airlines are likely to fall short of their full-year earnings targets.
With this trend,&nbsp;Delta Air Lines&#8217; revised 1Q25 unit revenue outlook of -1% suggests March unit revenues could be down 5%, with a forecast of low single-digit declines in 2Q25, assuming a 200bps improvement in April due to the Easter shift.
Specifically, the analyst&#8217;s revised forecasts for Delta and United Airlines are nearly 10% below consensus, at $6.40 and $11.35, respectively.
The analyst observes that while domestic supply has been slow to leave the market, May growth is the lowest in 1H25, aside from January.
Didora projects domestic growth to decrease into 3Q25 as airlines adjust supply to match new demand levels.

What To Know: WF International announced the closing of its IPO of 1.4 million ordinary shares for $4 per share. 
The Chengdu-based company, which provides electromechanical solutions including HVAC and water purification systems, said it raised $5.6 million in gross proceeds from the IPO.
The company made its public debut on the Nasdaq Capital Market this week, but the stock has trended lower since. The sharp decline may suggest a lack of strong demand. It&#8217;s also worth noting that broader markets are facing heavy selling pressure Thursday following reciprocal tariffs from the Trump administration.
WF International said it granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 210,000 shares at the offering price. The Benchmark Company and Axiom Capital Management acted as joint book-running managers.

Asked If There Are Concerns That China Will Cut Off Supplies Of Pharmaceuticals, White House's Hassett Says Don't Think People Need To Be Worried About That

NBA Hall-of-Famer Earvin "Magic" Johnson is one of the rare athletes who can legitimately claim to be a better businessman than he was as a player. It may come as a surprise, but Johnson believes that thinking about helping other people was one of the keys to building his multi-billion-dollar business empire.
The<a href="https://247wallst.com/personal-finance/2025/03/10/magic-johnson-is-worth-billions-and-says-if-you-want-to-build-wealth-you-cant-just-think-about-your-own-pockets/"> 24/7 Wallstreet</a> website quoted an interview from 2008 where Johnson said, "It&#8217;s easier to build wealth if you think about others instead of only focusing on filling your own pockets." Although that advice sounds counterintuitive, Johnson's logic becomes clear when you look at his business career in its entirety. One of Magic's first and most public forays into the business came when his adopted hometown needed him more than ever.

</ul>
It was 1995, four years after Johnson had announced his first retirement from the NBA due to having contracted HIV. The South-Central community of Los Angeles was trying to rebuild after the devastation caused by the rioting that broke out after the Rodney King verdict. The riots, which did hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to the community, had essentially scared off the major private investors needed for a rebuild of that scale.
Johnson, who made an estimated $40 million during his playing career, had always dreamed of becoming a businessman. He also had a deep desire to help rebuild the community. In South Central, Johnson saw an opportunity. Johnson stepped into the fray by opening the Magic Johnson Crenshaw 15 movie theaters in the Baldwin Hills Mall on Crenshaw Boulevard in South Central.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vatom-adv">Invest in the Future of Digital Engagement. Own a Piece of the $100 Billion Metaverse Today for Just $500.</a>
However, Johnson didn't open just any movie theater. He opened up a first-class operation that featured stadium-style seating, multiple concession stands, and state-of-the-art surround sound technology. Those features were commonplace in suburban theaters, but they were virtually absent in South L.A. or any of America's historically underserved communities.
It was a big risk, but it paid off brilliantly for Johnson. Soon, Johnson's chain expanded to Harlem and other minority communities nationwide. Their success was pivotal in convincing big-box stores and retailers like Old Navy that investing in minority neighborhoods could be just as profitable as opening in the suburbs. Johnson, who had a contact list full of top-tier business connections, wasn't done.

In 1998, Johnson convinced Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SBUX"> SBUX</a>) CEO Howard Schultz to let him open and operate multiple franchises in minority communities. Their first outlet opened on Crenshaw Boulevard in L.A., just a few blocks north of his theaters. According to the<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101020184051/https:/lakersblog.latimes.com/lakersblog/2010/10/magic-johnson-sells-his-starbucks-franchises.html"> Los Angeles Times</a>, Johnson eventually opened 125<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/03/44377541/heres-how-much-1000-invested-in-starbucks-20-years-ago-would-be-worth-today"> Starbucks</a> outlets nationwide before selling 105 of them back to Starbucks for $100 million.&nbsp;
Johnson's investments and business deals are run through his company, Magic Johnson Enterprises, which he founded in 1987. Today, it's a multibillion-dollar operation with ownership stakes&nbsp; in the Los Angeles Dodgers and the NFL's Washington Commanders. Much of Johnson's early business success was built on his willingness to help himself by helping others.
Could incorporating Johnson's ethos into your<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44440238/can-you-guess-how-much-you-need-to-build-generational-wealth-some-say-its-less-than-what-it-takes-to-feel-rich"> wealth-building strategy</a> yield similar results?

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing HubSpot's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, HubSpot's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.11%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

AROC

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around Archrock?

On Thursday, Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach discussed the impact of the U.S. reciprocal tariffs on retail companies.
On April 2, President Trump announced reciprocal tariffs, including a 10% hike on all countries except Mexico and Canada, with higher rates for select nations with trade deficits.
The most significant retail impact is expected from increased tariffs on major sourcing partners like Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Cambodia, said the analyst.
The U.S. is significantly raising tariffs on imports, with China&#8217;s tariff rate increasing to 54% (up from 20%). Other key sourcing countries like Vietnam (46%), Indonesia (32%), Bangladesh (37%), Cambodia (49%), and India (27%) will also see tariff hikes, while EU imports face a 20% tariff.
Canada and Mexico remain exempt under USMCA, though non-USMCA compliant goods will be taxed at 12%. Overall, apparel and footwear tariffs are estimated to rise to an average of 38%, noted the analyst.
Additionally, the de minimis duty-free exemption for packages under $800 from China and Hong Kong will end on May 1, 2025.
These shipments will face a 30% tariff or $25 per item, increasing to $50 per item after June 1, 2025. The Secretary of Commerce will review within 90 days whether to expand this policy to Macau.
The newly announced tariffs will pressure brands and retailers, forcing them to adjust pricing, negotiate with vendors, and optimize costs to protect margins.

While most companies will be affected, some are less exposed, including brands with lower U.S. sales exposure like Amer Sports Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AS#NYSE">AS</a>), Canada Goose Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOS#NYSE">GOOS</a>) and PVH Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>). Retailers with indirect sourcing, such as department stores and off-price retailers, could benefit from supply chain disruptions.
Companies that do not source their product from international markets or source from exempt regions, such as Savers Value Village Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SVV#NYSE">SVV</a>) with thrift business model and Kontoor Brands Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTB#NYSE">KTB</a>) reliance on Mexico, though it also sources from Bangladesh, are less exposed.
The analyst notes that brands with momentum and strong consumer engagement are likely to have more substantial relative pricing power in the marketplace overall.
The analyst noted higher exposure to incrementally new tariffs from Vietnam and Cambodia-exposed businesses include sportswear like Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>), Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and general apparel like Torrid Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURV#NYSE">CURV</a>), Figs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIGS#NYSE">FIGS</a>), Victoria&#8217;s Secret &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSCO#NYSE">VSCO</a>), and Gap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAP#NYSE">GAP</a>).
The Home Furnishings industry with companies like RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) and Williams-Sonoma Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) faces the greatest risk from tariffs due to its high exposure to China and Vietnam and the discretionary nature of its products.
RH sources 72% of its products from Asia, including 23% from China and 35% from Vietnam, while WSM has 23% China and 14% Vietnam exposure.
Retailers Five Below Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIVE#NASDAQ">FIVE</a>) and Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) are also vulnerable, with 60% of their products sourced from China. While Vietnam exposure remains unclear for most industries, home furnishing companies have the highest risk, said the analyst.
On the other hand, Auto Parts companies like Advance Auto Parts Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>), AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and O&#8217;Reilly Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) and Home Improvement retailers like Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe&#8217;s Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) are better positioned, as they can pass increased costs.
Similarly, retailers that sell food like Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), BJ&#8217;s Wholesale Club Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BJ#NYSE">BJ</a>), and Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) are relatively insulated.
Companies with minimal reliance on China, such as Ulta Beauty Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) and Bath &amp; Body Works Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>), are also well-positioned against these tariffs.

Several restaurant stocks are taking a beating on Thursday as broader markets tumble in reaction to sweeping reciprocal tariffs from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44632479/retail-stocks-slammed-as-trumps-tariff-plan-sends-shockwaves-through-sector">the Trump administration</a>.
What Happened: President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on several countries across the world on Wednesday, sending markets into a tailspin.
Restaurant stocks are getting hit particularly hard as restaurant chains typically source food machinery and packaging from China. Trump announced 34% tariffs on China this week. 
According to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-tariffs-trade-war-stock-market-04-03-2025/card/restaurant-stocks-slide-on-trump-s-new-duties-IrOe9ndIoLz9heJhUlgk">report</a>, many restaurant chains buy potatoes from Canada and often import meats from other countries. 
Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) has significant exposure to China as the company operates thousands of stores in the country. Starbucks had a total of 7,685 stores in China as of the end of 2024. The company is also a big coffee importer. Shares were down more than 11% at last check, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) is also facing selling pressure as the company imports avocados from Mexico, Columbia and other countries globally. Chipotle shares were down about 3.5% at the time of writing.
Here&#8217;s a look at some other restaurant stocks moving lower Thursday:
<ul>
<li>Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) down 9.05% at $56.24</li>

Restaurant Stocks Are Getting Cooked Thursday As Trump Tariffs Rattle Markets

WIIM

TMHC

Shares of homebuilders and housing-linked stocks are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

In March,&nbsp;Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) shared an update on Elevidys (delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl), the only approved gene therapy in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The company reported a patient death following treatment with Elevidys, having suffered <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44376919/sarepta-therapeutics-reports-patient-death-post-elevidys-gene-therapy-treatment-stock-plunges" rel="noreferrer noopener">acute liver failure</a>.
Acute liver injury is a known possible side effect of Elevidys and other AAV-mediated gene therapies and is highlighted in the prescribing information.
On Wednesday, Sarepta and Roche Holdings AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) temporarily <a target="_blank" href="https://www.duchenneuk.org/roche-temporarily-halts-clinic-studies/" rel="noreferrer noopener">halted</a> several clinical studies.

Roche, the company to which the treatment is licensed outside the US, has said that this was at the European Medicines Agency&#8217;s (EMA) request.
The companies have a therapeutic clinical hold on Study 104, Study 302, and Study 303 in the EU until the analysis of the cause of death is complete.
Roche is also pausing the enrollment and dosing of participants in the U.K. for its ENVOL study.
Patient safety monitoring for already enrolled participants and ongoing collection of data will continue.
In June 2024, the EMA validated and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.roche.com/investors/updates/inv-update-2024-06-24" rel="noreferrer noopener">initiated</a> a review of the marketing authorization application for Elevidys, a gene therapy for ambulatory patients aged 3-7 years old with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
HC Wainwright upgraded Sarepta on Wednesday from Sell to Neutral, saying it is trading within a fair range.
Analyst Mitchell S. Kapoor still anticipates Elevidys revenue will fall short in the second half of 2025—especially after the recent patient death due to acute liver injury.
Kapoor sees a risk that Elevidys sales may decline faster than expected, possibly as early as Q2 2025, due to growing hesitation from doctors and patients regarding its safety. The treatment&#8217;s limited effectiveness heightens this concern.
The analyst maintains the price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SRPT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast of $75 per share</a>.
Needham maintained Sarepta Therapeutics with a Buy, lowering the price forecast from $202 to $183.
Price Action: SRPT stock is down 6.68% at $58.30 at the last check Thursday.
