<p><strong>Oklo Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) shares are trading higher Friday as part of a broad rally in uranium and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/05/45587750/uranium-stocks-surge-trumps-nuclear-push-sparks-double-digit-gains">nuclear-related stocks. </a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> The move comes after reports indicating President <strong>Donald Trump </strong>is expected to sign executive orders aimed at revitalizing the U.S. nuclear energy industry.</p>
<p>Trump plans to invoke the Defense Production Act to declare a national emergency over the United States' dependence on foreign uranium. The executive actions are expected to direct federal agencies to fast-track nuclear energy projects in a bid to strengthen domestic supply chains and energy security.</p>
<p>The renewed focus on nuclear power comes amid growing electricity demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centers, which require substantial and reliable energy sources. Investors are betting that nuclear power will play a bigger role in meeting that demand, driving up both uranium prices and the value of companies involved in nuclear development.</p>
<p>Oklo, a developer of advanced fission reactors, was among the biggest gainers alongside peers such as Nano Nuclear Energy, Uranium Energy Corp and Energy Fuels. The entire uranium sector benefited from speculation that increased government support could accelerate deployment and commercialization of next-generation nuclear technologies.</p>
<p>The Global X Uranium ETF (URA), which tracks a basket of uranium producers and component manufacturers, also gained significantly, highlighting widespread investor optimism about the sector's outlook under a pro-nuclear policy shift.</p>
<p><strong>OKLO Price Action:</strong> Oklo shares were up 24.9% at $49.60 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a></p>

President Trump Says Making Announcement On Nuclear Energy

<p>Truist Securities  analyst Brian Foran   maintains American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $315 to $335.</p>


Truist Securities Maintains Buy on American Express, Raises Price Target to $335

<p>BofA Securities analyst <strong>Vivek Arya </strong>reiterated a Buy rating on <strong>NVIDIA Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a $160 price target on Thursday.</p>
<p>Arya updated his fiscal first quarter outlook following supply chain insights, investor discussions and Nvidia&#8217;s remarks at the recent <strong>Computex</strong> trade show, particularly concerning the U.S. ban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nvidia">on H20 sales to China.</a></p>
<p>He highlighted a disconnect between Nvidia's stated $15 billion in lost China sales, the revised fiscal 2026 (calendar 2025) sales estimate of $10 billion–$12 billion and the more conservative $3.8 billion in consensus revisions. Depending on China shipment timing, this could amplify to a $4 billion–$5 billion headwind in the fiscal second quarter.</p>
<p>Gross margin recovery remains a key focus. Arya looks for management confidence in restoring margins to the mid-70s in the second half, driven by Blackwell ramp-up and rack-level product yields.</p>
<p><strong>Also Read:</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45587680/emergence-of-ualink-as-a-viable-alternative-could-challenge-nvidias-dominance-analyst-asserts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emergence Of UALink As A Viable Alternative Could Challenge Nvidia&#8217;s Dominance, Analyst Asserts</a></p>
<p>Despite these near-term headwinds, Arya considers Nvidia as a top sector pick, citing its unique position in global AI deployment and potential China sales rebound through redesigned, compliant products later in the year.</p>
<p>For the fiscal first quarter, Arya expects a modest beat versus Nvidia's $43 billion guidance and consensus of $43.4 billion. However, the $5.5 billion H20-related inventory write-off may pull gross margins to ~58%, below the 71% guide. He forecasts adjusted EPS at 74 cents, under the consensus of 88 cents. No material H20 impact is expected in the first quarter.</p>
<p>Fiscal second quarter consensus has dropped from $48 billion (pre H20 ban) to $46.4 billion, with investor expectations closer to $45 billion–$46 billion. Current models only reflect a ~$2 billion H20 headwind, which may be optimistic if early-year sales were front-loaded.</p>
<p>By comparison, <strong>Advanced Micro Devices Inc</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) estimated 47% of its $1.5 billion China impact would hit in the second quarter. Applying that ratio to Nvidia&#8217;s $15 billion China headwind implies a $7 billion second quarter hit, potentially dropping sales guidance to $41 billion, well below consensus. This would imply an adjusted EPS of ~85 cents, 16% below estimates.</p>
<p>Looking further ahead, Arya estimates the $15 billion China sales headwind could bring fiscal 2026 revenue down to $190 billion, 6% below consensus, and adjusted EPS to $3.93, 10% below the current $4.38, or 14% below the pre-ban $4.56 consensus.</p>
<p>A potential upside could from a faster non-China Blackwell ramp as Nvidia accelerates testing of its move back to &#8220;Bianca&#8221; compute boards from the prior decision to move to &#8220;Cordelia&#8221; boards for GB300 GPU.</p>

While the firm primarily serves institutional investors (87% of AUM), it also caters to clients in the high-net-worth channel (13%). Blackstone operates through 25 offices in the Americas (8), Europe and the Middle East (9), and the Asia-Pacific region (8).</p>

UDR Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (4 Ratings)

<p>Looking into the current session, <strong>Mondelez International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>)</strong> shares are trading at $66.11, after a <strong>0.94%</strong> spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock spiked by <strong>0.79%</strong>, but in the past year, fell by <strong>2.17%</strong>. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748023233_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>A Look at Mondelez International P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Mondelez International has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>30.35</strong> of the Food Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748023233_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes. </p>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
