TowneBank Hikes Quarterly Cash Dividend From $0.25 To $0.27 Per Share

JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman reiterated the Underweight rating on Hertz Global Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HTZ/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> on Wednesday</a>.
Brinkman suggests that while rental car firms like Hertz may have structurally enhanced earnings through better pricing strategies and partnerships with companies such as American Express Global Business Travel, Tripadvisor, Uber and Carvana, previous forecasts likely overestimated the durability of company-specific earnings drivers.
Instead, much of the recent strength appears to have stemmed from temporary cyclical tailwinds — namely unusually low fleet depreciation and elevated pricing — which have now largely faded.

Although the stock may still look undervalued based on normalized earnings, Brinkman doesn&#8217;t foresee Hertz reaching those levels until after 2026.
Additionally, the company is expected to generate negative free cash flow in 2024 and 2025, limiting its ability to repurchase shares at current lower prices.
Hertz also faces high leverage, refinancing risks, and potential legal costs related to its past bankruptcy following a recent unfavorable court ruling, the analyst writes.
On Tuesday, the rental car company posted first-quarter revenue of $1.81 billion, below the $2 billion analyst consensus, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45388163/hertz-global-shares-are-plunging-following-q1-earnings-miss-whats-driving-the-sell-off" rel="noreferrer noopener">representing a 13% year-over-year decline</a>. The company also reported a first-quarter adjusted loss of $1.12 per share, versus an expected loss of 97 cents per share.
Brinkman notes that Hertz&#8217;s first-quarter fiscal 2025 results highlighted continued progress on cost efficiency initiatives, including partnerships with tech firms aimed at improving both customer experience and operational productivity.
These efforts include enhancements to its revenue management system and the deployment of AI tools for vehicle inspection and pricing optimization.
Management also reaffirmed its expectations for the progression of EBITDA through the year, the analyst writes.
HTZ Price Action: Hertz shares are trading lower by 2.88% to $5.60 at publication on Wednesday.

Hertz Faces Tough Road Ahead, Analyst Says Earnings Recovery Unlikely Before 2026

'Battery Maker With 720% Stock Gain Signs Early Data-Center Deal'- Bloomberg

Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday, reversing earlier losses following the release of weaker-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45393936/buffett-backed-nu-holdings-stock-drops-after-worse-than-expected-q1-results-details">first-quarter financial results</a>.
What To Know: The Warren Buffett-backed digital banking company reported earnings of 12 cents per share, missing the consensus <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/NU/earnings">estimate</a> of 13 cents. Revenue came in at $3.2 billion, slightly below the $3.23 billion expected by analysts.
Despite the earnings and revenue miss, investors appeared to focus on Nu's strong customer metrics. The company added 4.3 million customers in the quarter, pushing its total customer base to 118.6 million across Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. Monthly average revenue per active customer increased 17% year-over-year, reaching $11.20. At the same time, cost efficiency improved, with average cost to serve per active customer falling to just seven cents.
Net interest income hit a record $1.8 billion, up 34% from a year ago, driven by a 62% expansion in the company's interest-earning portfolio. CEO David Vélez highlighted Nubank's expanding customer activity, noting that the platform saw nearly 99 million monthly active users with an activity rate above 83%.
&#8220;Starting 2025 strong, Nubank reached 118.6 million customers, adding over four million in a single quarter, showcasing its powerful platform scalability across Brazil, Mexico and Colombia,&#8221; Vélez said.
Shares initially dropped over 5% in after-hours trading on Tuesday following the earnings release, but have since recovered as market sentiment improved, potentially influenced by Susquehanna maintaining a Positive rating and raising its price target from $14 to $15.
The stock's recovery on Wednesday suggests continued confidence in Nu Holdings&#8217; ability to scale and sustain engagement across Latin America.
NU Price Action: Nu Holdings shares were up 2.85% at $13.52 at the time of publication, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Market Positioning</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-institutions-chasing-rally-market-positioning-spy-mc-05142025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The chart shows the stock market has moved above the breakout line.</li>
<li>For stock market bulls, zone 1 (resistance) shown on the chart is the magnet.</li>
<li>Momo gurus are claiming that they know the stock market is going to go above zone 1 to new highs in a matter of days.</li>
<li>Bears are throwing in the towel as they never expected President Trump to give China everything it wanted with very little in return other than talk.  In our analysis, China has a great track record of appeasing American presidents with talk without following through with actions.    </li>
<li>In January and February when our calls were to take partial profits and raise hedges, including hedges to protect individual strategic positions with very large unrealized gains, institutions were aggressively buying. </li>
<li>When the stock market fell in early April, as shown on the chart, many institutions were holding very low cash.&nbsp; Institutions were over invested.</li>
<li>The chart shows when our report was giving buy signals in early April near the lows.   At that time, institutions were selling because they were very over invested.  After the selling, institutions became under invested, which they thought was prudent at the time due to the trade war with China.</li>
<li>As the stock market started moving up from the lows, institutions dismissed the rise.&nbsp; Institutions had good reason to dismiss the rise because they were looking at President Trump's campaign promise of 60% tariffs on China. &nbsp; Based on comments from the Trump administration, institutions were convinced that the biggest concession President Trump would give to China would be to reduce tariffs to 60% &#8211; 80% from 145%.&nbsp; Under this economic scenario, it made no sense to buy stocks at market lows.</li>
<li>Institutions were caught off guard when it was revealed this Monday that tariffs on China would be only 10% after fentanyl tariffs are removed.&nbsp; Institutions did sophisticated analysis of many scenarios but never dreamed the U.S. would give China everything China wanted in exchange for very little.</li>
<li>Normally, after the big rally on Monday, there would have been some give back yesterday.&nbsp; However, instead of giveback, the market rallied further, and institutions were chasing the market since they are under invested.</li>
<li>Most institutions do not behave like the momo crowd.&nbsp; Expect institutions to aggressively buy the dips unless the data changes.</li>
<li>The momo crowd is back to their normal behavior.&nbsp; The momo crowd is extremely aggressively buying speculative stocks and call options on indexes and their favorite stocks.</li>
<li>As the market rises, our tentative plan is to start taking profits by scaling out of tactical positions that were started near the market lows in April.</li>
<li>To consistently beat the market, investors need to look ahead.&nbsp; A vast majority of investors do not look ahead.&nbsp; They suffer from recency bias.&nbsp; A vast majority of investors invest based on what has happened over the last ten days.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In our analysis, as we look ahead, the data shows that peak trade tariff uncertainty is behind us but peak economic uncertainty is not.  We previously shared with you, in our analysis, there is a 60% probability of stagflation.  </li>
<li>Producer Price Index (PPI), retail sales, and initial jobless claims will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET and may be market moving.</li>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (AAPL) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT).
In the early trade, money flows are positive in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Gold</h4>
Money is flowing out of gold as investors no longer feel the need for protection.  The momo crowd is panicking and selling gold.  Our report gave a signal to take partial profits on gold near the highs.  
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Oil</h4>
API crude inventories came at a build of 4.287M barrels vs. a consensus of a draw of 2.4M barrels.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  Our proprietary Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

Wall Street analysts rerated JD.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) on Wednesday, including slashing their price targets after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45385027/jd-com-clocks-strong-q1-retail-and-logistics-growth-fueled-by-cash-burn" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter results</a> on Tuesday.
The stock is trading lower on Wednesday.
Benchmark analyst Fawne Jiang maintained JD.com with a Buy and lowered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $58 to $53</a>.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45348699/us-listed-chinese-stocks-rally-as-countries-agree-to-ease-import-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">US Listed Chinese Stocks Rally As Countries Agree To Ease Import Tariffs</a>
Jiang noted that net revenue was 301 billion Chinese yuan (+15.8%) or $41.5 billion, beating consensus expectations by 11 billion Chinese yuan.
Notably, thanks to the trade-in program, growth of 3C and home appliances accelerated to 17% while gross margin also accelerated to 15% growth (versus 11% prior), thanks to improvements in user growth and engagement, with supermarkets continuing to outperform at double-digit growth, the analyst said.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Adjusted EPADS came in at 8.41 Chinese yuan (or $1.16), beating consensus by $0.19.
He added that the company had repurchased $1.5 billion in shares year-to-date, reducing its share count by 2.8%.
Management highlighted continued policy tailwinds and improving organic growth year-to-date. With improving consumer sentiment and ongoing enhancements to its ecosystem, the company raised its fiscal 2025 retail growth outlook to double-digit growth (versus high-single-digit prior).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Management noted sustained momentum in the second quarter. General merchandise categories exhibited solid growth, bolstered by supermarket and fashion categories.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While the comparison will be tough heading into fiscal 2026, Jiang is encouraged by the momentum in gross margin, the focus on the 3P marketplace, and the planned revamp of key categories (such as fashion). According to the analyst, these factors will drive sustainable long-term growth.
In the first quarter, JD also entered the food delivery market and achieved impressive traction, with daily orders approaching 20 million within three months. While Jiang noted the move as strategic and saw significant potential in food delivery and the broader on-demand retail ecosystem, the investment introduces margin uncertainty for the remainder of the year, if not longer. 
Given the need to dynamically adjust promotional strategies, expansion plans, and monetization pace in response to a fluid macroeconomic and competitive environment, JD withdrew its fiscal 2025 group-level profitability guidance, citing limited visibility and ongoing market volatility. Based on the current subsidy levels and cost structure, the analyst estimated increased pressure on margins and revised his earnings forecasts accordingly.
Jiang raised his fiscal 2025 and 2026 revenue estimates to 1.290 trillion Chinese yuan (+11.6%) and 1.342 trillion Chinese yuan (+3.8%), respectively. However, the analyst lowered his adjusted adjusted EPADS estimates to $4.61 for fiscal 2025 and $4.95 for fiscal 2026.
Price Action: JD stock is up 4% at $35.74 at last check on Wednesday.

Lockheed Martin CFO During Conference Call Reportedly Says We Still See Tariffs Not As A Cost Of Profit Risk For Us, But Potentially A Cash Timing Risk

Michael Saylor's Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has engineered a financial mechanism that transforms market enthusiasm for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) into a self-reinforcing growth engine, according to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45257429/michael-saylor-calls-bitcoin-the-corporate-survival-strategy-for-96-of-companies">company&#8217;s executive chairman</a>.
What Happened: In a Financial Times interview on May 13, Saylor <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_WjH0mqKww">detailed</a> the mechanics behind his Bitcoin-focused strategy, which he claims helped the firm outperform tech titans like NVIDIA and Meta en route to a $100 billion valuation.
Describing the system as a "quadratically reflexive, engineered instrument," Saylor openly embraces his role as a financial architect, one who, according to crypto enthusiasts, has created something akin to an "infinite money glitch."
How It Works: The strategy hinges on an arbitrage mechanism: when MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock trades at a premium to the value of its Bitcoin holdings, the company issues new shares to raise capital and buys more BTC, effectively acquiring the asset at a steep discount.
&#8220;If our stock trades at a 200% premium to the underlying asset, we can sell a billion dollars of the stock, buy back the underlying asset, and make $666 million in that arbitrage of sorts,&#8221; Saylor explained.
This dynamic allowed Strategy to raise capital at unprecedented speed. "During the November stock surge, they raised $12 billion in just 50 days," noted digital investor Jeff Walton. "Raising $100 million once is tough, they did it 120 times in 50 days."
Unlike most firms, where dilution frustrates investors, Strategy's shareholders embrace the model, as it increases the amount of Bitcoin held per share. 
The firm also used its premium to secure favorable debt deals, recently issuing $5 billion in convertible bonds at 0% interest.

Why It Matters: The model functions like a self-reinforcing loop: capital is raised, Bitcoin is bought, Bitcoin price rises, the company's share price climbs, and the cycle repeats. 
Saylor's promotional push, including non-stop Bitcoin evangelism on social media and even hosting Bitcoin-themed parties at his Miami home, further fuels demand.
But the strategy is not without risk. 
It depends entirely on Bitcoin's continued ascent. In early 2025, when regulatory concerns triggered a BTC selloff, Strategy recorded nearly $6 billion in unrealized losses for Q1.
Though Bitcoin has since rebounded, critics argue the model is precarious, requiring constant new capital and strong market sentiment to remain sustainable.
What's Next: Despite volatility, Saylor remains unwaveringly bullish. 
He forecasts Bitcoin at $1 million within 10 years, and potentially $13 million by 2045. If that happens, he envisions Strategy scaling "from a $100 billion firm to a $1 trillion, even $10 trillion enterprise."

President Trump&#8217;s administration has warned global companies against using Huawei Technologies Ascend AI chips, threatening them with criminal penalties for violating U.S. semiconductor sanctions, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-13/trump-to-rewrite-ai-chip-curbs-reviled-by-nvidia-and-us-allies?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
Instead, the U.S. government is drafting its approach and could forge individual deals with countries.

Huawei has begun delivering AI chip &#8220;clusters&#8221; to clients in China, which it claims to outperform the leading U.S. AI chipmaker, Nvidia, on key metrics such as total computing and memory.
Huawei is boosting production capacity by building its advanced semiconductor production lines, as Chinese companies cut off from Nvidia&#8217;s products are increasing orders.
Reportedly, Trump&#8217;s government is still working on replacement regulations. Trump officials intend to impose curbs on countries that have diverted chips to China, including Malaysia and Thailand.
At the same time, the Commerce Department will continue to enforce existing chip export rules strictly.
The U.S. officially blacklisted Huawei in May 2019 (during President Trump&#8217;s first term), citing national security threats. The Biden administration launched multiple semiconductor sanctions on China, restricting its access to Nvidia and rival semiconductor technologies.
Meanwhile, President&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45390422/trump-unveils-historic-and-transformative-600-billion-saudi-deal-predicts-markets-will-go-a-lot-higher" rel="noreferrer noopener">showcased Saudi Arabia&#8217;s</a> $600 billion investment commitment in the U.S. on Tuesday, listing a series of multibillion-dollar deals with leading American corporations&nbsp;in tech, defense, and infrastructure.

Price Actions: NVDA stock is up 3.81% at $134.86 at last check on Wednesday. AMD is up 4.06%.

RIVN stock has given up its prior loss. Rivian Automotive shares were trading lower after Jefferies downgraded the stock from Buy to Hold.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares are trading higher by more than 4% on Wednesday, extending its recent rally to approximately 24% over the past week and about 37% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45376757/tesla-back-in-the-trillionaire-club-tsla-stock-roars-back-with-40-rebound-robotaxi-mania">over the past month</a>.
The surge follows easing U.S.-China trade tensions and renewed investor optimism around Tesla's robotaxi rollout and next-generation vehicle production.
What To Know: Tesla is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45401165/tesla-gears-up-to-restart-key-component-shipping-from-china-for-cybercab-semi-truck-production-in-us-report">preparing</a> to resume shipping components from China to the U.S. for its upcoming Cybercab and Semi models after the Trump administration rolled back tariffs.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45358876/dow-jones-adds-1000-points-breaks-200-day-moving-average">truce</a>, announced Monday, enables Tesla to restart production plans that had stalled due to 145% import duties. Trial production of the Cybercab is expected to begin in Texas by October, with the Semi set to be built in Nevada.

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has named Tesla a &#8220;huge beneficiary&#8221; of the U.S.-China de-escalation, adding that Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45357613/china-tariff-de-escalation-biggest-winners-include-tesla-apple-new-tech-highs-back-on-the-table-now-for-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">renewed focus</a>, after months in a controversial White House role, marks a &#8220;pivotal moment&#8221; for the company.
Ives on Wednesday also pointed to the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Riyadh, calling it a &#8220;bullish eye-opener&#8221; for investors in U.S. tech stocks, including Tesla. 
&#8220;The AI Revolution is coming to the Saudi Kingdom and Riyadh will be a major buyer of AI chips, software, autonomous/robotics, datacenters over the next decade,&#8221; Ives said in an X <a href="https://x.com/DivesTech/status/1922626073335914520">post</a>. 
What Else: Meanwhile, Tesla faces <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45402695/teslas-robotaxi-plans-under-federal-scrutiny-ahead-ff-austin-launch-as-elon-musk-vows-nationwide-rollout-by-year-end">federal scrutiny</a> ahead of its planned June robotaxi launch in Austin. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is seeking details on how Tesla's autonomous vehicles will operate in low-visibility conditions like fog and rain — issues linked to past accidents. Despite this, CEO Elon Musk remains confident, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45402695/teslas-robotaxi-plans-under-federal-scrutiny-ahead-ff-austin-launch-as-elon-musk-vows-nationwide-rollout-by-year-end">projecting</a> "millions of robotaxis" nationwide by year-end.
The Cybercab and robotaxi initiatives have been central to Tesla's growth narrative, especially as the company rebounds from a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">weak first quarter</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy TSLA 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 Tesla&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary 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>, TSLA has a 52-week high of $488.54 and a 52-week low of $157.40. Tesla shares were up 4.07% at $347.66 at the time of publication Wednesday.
