Noah And ARK Outline Wealth Allocation Strategy Amid Global Volatility, Highlight AI Disruption, Tariffs, And Alternative Investment Demand

Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) Chief Brokerage Officer Steve Quirk credited retail investors with stabilizing markets following President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff announcement in April, while highlighting record-breaking overnight trading volumes that signal a fundamental shift in market behavior.
What Happened: Speaking at the Piper Sandler Global Exchange &amp; Trading Conference on Thursday, Quirk said this marked the second time retail traders rescued volatile markets, Reuters reported. &#8220;This is the second occurrence where I would argue retail came to the rescue of the market. COVID was probably the first,&#8221; he stated.
The market turmoil followed Trump&#8217;s April 2 tariff announcement, which roiled global markets and scuttled dealmaking. Retail investors responded by purchasing $4.7 billion in stocks on April 3, the highest single-day level in the past decade, according to JPMorgan estimates, according to the report.
Overnight trading has emerged as a key growth driver for Robinhood, with May representing the company&#8217;s biggest month ever for after-hours trading volume. The platform estimates up to 25% of total daily trading volume on busy days now occurs outside traditional market hours.
&#8220;You will look back in a couple years and laugh at the notion that we waited until 9:30 Eastern for trading to start,&#8221; Quirk said, noting users in their 30s &#8220;do the research and homework in the evening&#8221; and expect round-the-clock trading access.

Why It Matters: Robinhood reported record metrics for May, with total platform assets reaching an all-time high above $250 billion. Year-to-date net deposits climbed 40% to approximately $28 billion, while equity trading volumes rose 10% month-over-month and options <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45794817/robinhood-stock-is-rising-thursday-whats-going-on">contracts hit all-time highs</a>.
Price Action: Robinhood Markets Inc. closed at $72.51 on Thursday, up 0.33%. In pre-market trading, the stock rose 1.70% to $73.74. Year to date, it&#8217;s up 83.85%.

ABM Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has denied reports that it is re-entering the Chinese market with a new AI chip, despite a previous ban by the U.S. government.
What Happened: Nvidia supplier, Shenzhen-based ZJK Industrial (ZJK) is ramping up production to cater to the increasing demand for Nvidia&#8217;s B40 project. The B40 chip, a custom AI accelerator, is specifically designed for the Chinese market and is based on Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell architecture. ZJK stated that it aims to commence mass production as early as this month, <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/technology/nvidia-stock-chipmaker-preparing-to-reenter-china/?src=A00220&amp;ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> Investor&#8217;s Business Daily.
In a statement obtained by the publication, Nvidia denied the news. &#8220;We&nbsp;are still evaluating our limited&nbsp;options. Until we settle on&nbsp;a new product design and&nbsp;receive approval from the U.S.&nbsp;government, we are effectively foreclosed&nbsp;from China&#8217;s $50 billion data center market,&#8221; clarified the Jensen Huang-led company.
ZJK manufactures precision fasteners and metal parts for industries like electronics, automotive, aerospace, energy storage, medical devices, and AI supercomputer cooling systems. The company&#8217;s CEO, Ning Ding, highlighted the B40 project&#8217;s market advantages and expects B40 chip shipments&nbsp;to exceed one million units&nbsp;by the end of 2025.

Why It Matters: Reports of Nvidia re-entering the Chinese market come after the company abandoned the release of its Hopper series chip in China due to U.S. restrictions. Nvidia&#8217;s CEO, Jensen Huang, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45487468/nvidia-abandons-hopper-series-chip-release-in-china-due-to-us-restrictions-not-possible-to-modify-hopper-anymore">confirmed </a>that further modifications to the Hopper series were not feasible.
Moreover, Huang has previously criticized U.S. chip export controls as counterproductive to America's technological leadership. He revealed that Nvidia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45513246/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-chinese-ai-researchers-are-world-class-and-us-companies-are-hiring-a-whole-bunch-of-them">wrote off</a> $5.5 billion in inventory and walked away from approximately $15 billion in sales due to these restrictions.
The company&#8217;s first-quarter financial results were also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">impacted </a>by the China export ban. However, Huang stated that the demand was &#8216;incredibly strong.&#8217;
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place Nvidia in the 74th percentile for momentum and the 99th percentile for growth, reflecting its strong performance in both areas.

Nvidia Denies Report Of Re-Entering Chinese Market With Custom AI Chip, Despite US Restrictions: 'We Are Still Evaluating...'

A public spat between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">Elon Musk and President Donald Trump</a> has placed approximately $22 billion in SpaceX contracts under threat. The conflict, sparked by Musk&#8217;s disapproval of Trump&#8217;s tax and spending policies, has intensified with Trump threatening to cancel government contracts with Musk&#8217;s companies.
In retaliation, Musk has announced plans to &#8220;decommission&#8221; SpaceX&#8217;s Dragon spacecraft, a critical element of NASA&#8217;s operations.
What Happened: The Dragon spacecraft, under a $5 billion contract, is the only U.S. vessel capable of transporting astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), according to a Reuters report.
Its potential decommissioning raises concerns about the future of U.S. space programs. NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens stated, &#8220;We will continue to work with our industry partners to ensure the president&#8217;s objectives in space are met.&#8221;
Musk, however, backed down after a user urged Musk and Trump to "cool off."
<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">Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon.
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1930796810928599163?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 6, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In response, Musk said, "Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon."

SpaceX&#8217;s dominance in the space industry, established before Musk&#8217;s political involvement, may mitigate some financial impacts. However, analysts like Justus Parmar of Fortuna Investments warn of significant revenue losses and missed opportunities.
The feud has already affected Trump&#8217;s space agenda, including the removal of Musk ally Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator nominee.
SpaceX&#8217;s contracts with NASA and the Pentagon, valued at billions, are crucial for U.S. space security and exploration. Former NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver noted that cancelling these contracts might not be legal, but Musk&#8217;s actions could jeopardize astronaut safety.
Why It Matters: The escalating feud between Musk and Trump has already had significant financial repercussions. On the same day, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45805173/musk-vs-trump-tesla-suffers-record-152b-one-day-crash-as-ceo-warns-tariffs-will-cause-a-recession">experienced a record $152 billion market cap loss</a>, removing it from the $1 trillion club.
This decline followed Musk&#8217;s public criticism of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221; The fallout has also drawn reactions from political figures like Sen. Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Mike Johnson, highlighting the unraveling relationship between Musk and Trump.

After Threatening To Scrap Dragon Spacecraft Amid Tussle With Trump, Musk Backs Down Following Social Media Plea: 'Good Advice'

Despite dodging some tariff impact from not having manufacturing operations in China, Dell Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) growth is projected to subside in the second half of the fiscal year, explains this Gimme Credit analyst, as he prefers HP Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>).
What Happened: Even though the company has an artificial intelligence server backlog of $14 billion after the first quarter, Dave Novosel, senior investment analyst at Gimme Credit, highlighted that &#8220;lumpiness&#8221; of AI-enabled server sales was a &#8220;major issue.&#8221;
However, he said that &#8220;the torrid AI growth does not appear to be hurting traditional server growth, as traditional server revenue was up double digits in the quarter.&#8221;
According to management, a significant improvement is expected in servers and networking in the second quarter, given the aforementioned non-linear nature of orders.
However, Novosel said, &#8220;We expect growth to subside in the second half of the year, yet the overall gain for fiscal 2026 should be roughly 8%.&#8221;
The analyst also said that &#8220;Unlike HP, Dell has not suffered materially from tariffs and does not expect to over the next few quarters, attributable to the fact that it does not have manufacturing operations in China. The company indicated that the cost environment is deflationary within the PC business.
Talking about the debt issuances by both companies, Novosel said that &#8220;We find the HP spread compelling compared to other technology sector credits trading substantially tighter. We think Dell should trade considerably tighter than HP Inc. based on our near-term outlook for revenue and margins.&#8221;
The analyst maintained his &#8220;underperform&#8221; rating on the stock. 
&#8220;However, the 55 basis point difference seems extravagant. So we prefer HP at these levels and are keeping our underperform recommendation on Dell,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: Looking ahead, Dell anticipates shipping approximately<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45688628/dells-ai-server-orders-hit-record-12-1-billion-in-q1-backlog-swells-to-14-4-billion-exceptionally-strong-demand"> $7 billion of that backlog</a> in the second quarter. 
Vice Chairman and COO Jeff Clarke also emphasized the company's focus on actively converting its extensive "five-quarter pipeline" into new orders throughout the second quarter and the latter half of the year.
He projected a strong performance, stating that their "best outlook" suggests they will be in the "$15 billion plus" range for shipped AI server revenue for the full fiscal year.
Dell shares fell 0.76% on Thursday and declined 0.61% in after-hours. The stock was down 4.04% in 2025 and 16.53% over the whole year.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings show that Dell had a stronger price trend over the short and medium terms but a weaker trend over the long term. Its momentum ranking was poor, and its value ranking was moderate at the 38.61th percentile.

Dell Rated 'Underperform' As Growth Set to Subside In 'The Second Half:' HP Deemed More Compelling By Analyst

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and rapper Ye are calling for reconciliation between President Donald Trump and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk following their explosive public feud over Trump&#8217;s tax bill.
What Happened: The Trump-Musk alliance crumbled Thursday after Musk criticized the president&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/movers-shakers/25/06/45807280/elon-musk-bleeds-34-billion-as-tesla-shares-tank-14-amid-spat-with-trump-how-the-billionaires-fortune-has-fared-so-far-in-2025">&#8220;disgusting abomination&#8221;</a> on the social media platform X.
Trump fired back during a White House event, calling Musk&#8217;s opposition &#8220;Trump Derangement Syndrome&#8221; and expressing disappointment in his former ally.
&#8220;I&#8217;m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody,&#8221; Trump said, specifically citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">Musk&#8217;s opposition to EV mandate cuts</a>. &#8220;Elon and I had a great relationship.

Ackman quickly intervened, posting on X: &#8220;I support @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our great country. We are much stronger together than apart.&#8221; Musk replied: &#8220;You&#8217;re not wrong.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Tesla shares plunged 14.26% on Thursday, marking the stock&#8217;s worst single-day decline and wiping out $152 billion in market capitalization. Musk&#8217;s fortune dropped $33.9 billion to $335 billion, though he remains the world&#8217;s richest person.
Tesla stock has declined 18.8% year-to-date, with Musk&#8217;s political activism creating brand damage and protests at dealerships. The Congressional Budget Office estimates<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45635854/elon-musk-disappointed-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-undermines-the-work-that-the-doge-team-is-doing"> Trump&#8217;s spending package</a> could add $2.3 trillion to $5.7 trillion to federal debt by 2034.
The relationship deteriorated after Musk left his Department of Government Efficiency role last week, having previously been a White House fixture who brought his son to the Oval Office. Bond markets have reacted negatively to fiscal concerns, with economists like Nassim Taleb warning that the budget &#8220;will bankrupt America.&#8221;
Leading economist Peter Schiff praised Musk&#8217;s stance, calling him &#8220;a man of principle&#8221; for opposing Republican spending hypocrisy. The Senate must approve the package before the July 4 recess. Read Next:

Bill Ackman And Ye Call For Trump-Musk Reconciliation After Public Fallout Over Tax Bill

Burning Rock Biotech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNR#NASDAQ">BNR</a>) reported quarterly losses of $(0.20) per share. This is a 87.5 percent increase over losses of $(1.60) per share from the same period last year. The company reported $18.34 million in sales this quarter. This is a 5.41 percent increase over sales of $17.40 million the same period last year.

Burning Rock Biotech Q1 EPS $(0.20) Up From $(1.60) YoY, Sales $18.34M Up From $17.40M YoY

As U.S. President Donald Trump&nbsp;and&nbsp;Chinese President Xi Jinping&nbsp;break the ice with a phone call after months of silence, analysts weigh in on what&#8217;s in store for the U.S.-China trade.
What Happened: The U.S. and China have been at odds over trade for a considerable period. The call signifies some advancement in establishing ground rules for a potential meeting. Jeremy Chan, Senior China Analyst at the Eurasia Group consultancy, stated that this communication suggests a level of respect from President Trump towards President Xi, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3313235/china-us-presidents-break-months-long-stand-phone-call?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported</a> The South China Morning Post.
However, analysts have noted that more than optimistic statements are required to resolve the deeply rooted trade differences between the two nations. Chan further noted that Xi typically consents to meetings with foreign leaders only after substantial groundwork has been laid through lower-level diplomatic efforts.
"Xi has bowed to reality, like so many other foreign leaders before him, that there is no substitute for direct negotiations with Trump," stated Chan, who is also a former U.S. diplomat.
On the other hand, ASPI&#8217;s Wendy Cutler highlighted the complexity of the upcoming trade talks and the challenges.
"The likelihood of further misunderstandings, coupled with a fundamental lack of trust, will present enormous challenges for the negotiators as they try to hammer out a deal," cautioned Cutler.

Why It Matters: This phone call comes in the wake of escalating trade tensions between the two countries. On Thursday, U.S. stocks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45793852/trump-reaches-out-to-xi-as-markets-react-tensions-simmer"> dipped following</a> reports of a phone call between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, signaling a possible thaw in China trade tensions. The outreach was said to have come from the U.S. side, as per CNBC, citing Chinese state media.
Earlier in May, President Trump had expressed his willingness to travel to China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45481159/donald-trump-offers-to-visit-xi-jinping-in-beijing-calls-us-china-ties-important-after-striking-temporary-trade-truce">to meet </a>with President Xi Jinping, emphasizing the importance of the U.S.-China relationship. 
In early May, the South China Morning Post reported that the U.S. and China are struggling to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45188171/china-pushes-for-special-envoys-as-direct-deal-with-trump-deemed-risky-plans-fentanyl-concessions-as-negotiating-leverage-report">resume trade talks</a>. China suggested using special envoys, but the U.S. prefers direct talks between Trump and Xi—a move China considers &#8220;risky and uncertain.&#8221;
This latest phone call could be seen as a step towards that potential meeting, and a move towards resolving the trade disputes.
