Leading cryptocurrencies rallied Thursday as investors turned to Bitcoin amid a weak financial climate.



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table style="overflow:auto; height: 90px; display: block;"><tbody><tr><td>Cryptocurrency</td><td>Gains +/-</td><td>Price (Recorded at 8:30 p.m. ET)</td></tr><tr><td>Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)</td><td>+2.72%</td><td>$96,815.33</td></tr><tr><td>Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>+2.76%</td><td>$1,844.13</td></tr><tr><td>Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>+4.88%</td><td>$0.1812</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



What Happened: Bitcoin reached an intraday high of $97,437.96 in the early trading hours, then fell to roughly $96,500 in the afternoon before making a fresh move past $97,000 overnight.



Ethereum peaked at $1,872.94 for the day before pulling back to $1,835. Both assets saw an appreciable spike in trading volumes.



Bitcoin's market dominance rose to a yearly high of 63.8%, implying that investors were more confident in the "King Coin" relative to other cryptocurrencies.



Bitcoin&#8217;s uptick comes a day after the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter, with investors possibly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">considering it as a safe haven</a> in times of economic turmoil.



The upsurge resulted in $209 million in cryptocurrency liquidations, with $154 million in bearish shorts erased.



Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest exploded 8.21% to $66.93 billion in the last 24 hours, marking a jump in leverage and potential market volatility. Interestingly, despite the surge, the majority of Binance traders with open BTC positions were short as of this writing.



The market returned to "Greed" sentiment, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization rose 2.02% to $3.01 trillion in the last 24 hours.



Stocks began May on a high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 83.60 points, or 0.21%, to end at 40,752.96. The S&amp;P 500 lifted 0.63% to finish at 5,604.14. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite spiked 1.52%, ending at 17,710.74.



The rally was catalyzed by strong first-quarter financials reported by tech biggies Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). The two ‘Mag 7' companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45117886/microsoft-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-cloud-revenue-up-20">reported</a> revenue and earnings that exceeded expectations, gaining 7.63% and 4.23%, respectively.

Analyst Notes: Seasoned trader Peter Brandt said Bitcoin was on target to reach the bull cycle top between $125,000 and $150,000 by August or September if it can "regain the broken parabolic slope." From then on, Brandt projected a 50% pullback.



Typically, parabolic slope patterns are characterized by a steep, rapid, and exponential rise in price, followed by a sharp decline.

Cryptocurrency trader and analyst CryptoBullet stated Ethereum's mid-term correction is over, and the asset was primed for a "good" mid-term bounce.



"So in the next few months, I&#8217;m expecting a good rally: ETH &amp; its ecosystem will bounce. My first target is $2500," the trader predicted.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Spike Alongside Stocks: Trader Peter Brandt Says BTC On Target To Reach Bull Market Top Of $125,000-$150,000

On Thursday, during Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152493/apple-reports-strong-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-all-time-high-across-all-segments-100-billion-buyback-and-more">fiscal second-quarter earnings</a> call, CEO Tim Cook said that the tech giant expects a $900 million cost impact in the June quarter due to tariffs



What Happened: "For the June [quarter], we do expect the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. will have India as their country of origin," Cook said. He added that Vietnam will now serve as the production hub for nearly all iPads, Macs, Apple Watches and AirPods sold in the U.S.



Apple's pivot comes amid mounting tariffs on Chinese imports.&nbsp;



"Most of our tariff exposure relates to the February IEEPA-related tariff at the rate of 20%, which applies to imports to the U.S. for products that have China as their country of origin," Cook explained.

He also noted that Apple's main product lines — iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch and Vision Pro — are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44970168/elizabeth-warren-slams-tim-cook-over-alleged-backdoor-deal-with-trump-to-shield-apple-from-crushing-china-tariffs-creates-the-appearance-of-impropriety">not currently impacted</a> by the newly announced global reciprocal tariffs related to semiconductors.



Still, the company is bracing for changes. "Assuming that the current global tariff rates, policies and applications don't change for the balance of the quarter," the impact will be $900 million to the company's costs.

Why It's Important: Apple posted fiscal second-quarter revenue of $95.36 billion, surpassing Wall Street expectations of $94.53 billion. For the June quarter, the company projects revenue growth in the low-to-mid-single-digit range and forecasts a gross margin between 45.5% and 46.5%.



Previously, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) raised concerns about Cook&#8217;s role in seeking tariff exemptions for Apple products after President Donald Trump threatened to impose up to 145% tariffs on Chinese imports.



If implemented, such tariffs would have significantly impacted Apple's supply chain and profit margins. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives had warned that iPhones made in the U.S. could cost as much as $3,500 — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728758/trumps-tariffs-could-push-apple-iphone-prices-to-a-staggering-3500-says-top-analyst">more than triple their current price</a>.



Price Action: Apple shares rose 0.39% during Thursday's regular trading session but fell 3.78% in after-hours trading, closing at $205.25, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.



Per Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings, Apple has a growth score of 44.65% and a momentum score of 74.54%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other top tech stocks</a>.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Warns Of $900 Million Tariff Impact In June Quarter, Expects Majority Of iPhones Sold In US To Be Made In India

Social media platform,&nbsp;Reddit Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) is seeing strong commercial intent across its iconic comment threads, and it&#8217;s now turning that engagement into ad revenue as part of a broader monetization push.



What Happened: During the company&#8217;s <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/05/45151798/reddit-stock-soars-after-better-than-expected-q1-daily-active-uniques-up-31-ad-revenue-up-61-and-more">first quarter earnings</a> call on Thursday, COO Jen Wong addressed the new ad placements inside the platform&#8217;s comments section, which is known for its high levels of engagement and activity. This comes in addition to the ads that were already in place below the post and above the comments.



Wong notes that 40% of conversations on Reddit are commercial in nature, with users actively discussing products and services. Given the high engagement, she said, many users are on their &#8220;purchase decision journey,&#8221; making the platform's comments section ripe for ad placements.



&#8220;I think almost no [other] platform has ads in their comments,&#8221; Wong said, adding that this level of engagement is a uniquely Reddit trait.

Wong explains that there are two ways that people end up in Reddit&#8217;s famed comments section: either by clicking on search results for a very specific query, looking for answers in the comments, or by engaging with a post on their feed, because it looked interesting. Either way, she says, &#8220;the intent in the space is very high.&#8221; 



Reddit is encouraged by early results, with Wong noting earlier in the call that ads within comment sections already accounted for 6% of total ad impressions during the quarter.



Why It Matters: Analysts had predicted <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44209873/heres-why-reddits-ad-revenue-growth-is-outpacing-other-social-media-giants">Reddit&#8217;s ad revenue</a> growth to outpace that of peers in 2025, citing its growing appeal to advertisers and the community-driven nature of the platform.



Analysts also attribute the company&#8217;s growing ad business to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38703190/reddits-enhanced-advertising-tools-drive-sizable-upside-jpmorgan">significant enhancements</a> it has made to its advertising tools over the past year.



The company is now focused on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/42221015/reddit-targets-india-brazil-to-boost-global-user-growth-revenue">accelerating its global expansion</a>, turning towards countries such as Brazil and India for user growth, as well as advertising opportunities.



The strong advertising performance is aiding Reddit&#8217;s bottom line, with the company reporting $0.13 earnings per share, from $392 million in revenue, up 61% YoY.



Price Action: The stock was up 1.96% during the regular session on Thursday, and is up 6.49% in after-hours trading, following the announcement of its first quarter results.

According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, the stock scores well on momentum but does poorly on growth and value. The price trend is favorable in the long run, but is weak in the short and medium terms.

Q2 Earnings: Apple reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $95.36 billion, beating analyst&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a>&nbsp;of $94.53 billion. The Cupertino-based company reported second-quarter earnings of $1.65 per share, beating analyst estimates of $1.63 per share.



With Thursday&#8217;s beat, Apple has now exceeded analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines in nine straight quarters, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

&#8220;Today Apple is reporting strong quarterly results, including double-digit growth in Services. We were happy to welcome iPhone 16e to our lineup, and to introduce powerful new Macs and iPads that take advantage of the extraordinary capabilities of Apple silicon,&#8221; said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple.

Oil and gas midstream firm Oneok (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OKE/earnings">released earnings</a> on Wednesday and the response was mixed. Shares have now dropped to near multi-year lows.



A long base could be in store for this stock before it holds structure and breaks upwards again.



That leads me to consider a leap call butterfly options trade to profit from this setup.



Here&#8217;s how you set this trade up for maximum gain.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Long Call Butterfly Leap Explained&nbsp;</h2>



A long call butterfly is the combination of a long call spread and a short call spread, where both share the same short strike and the same expiration date. The term &#8220;leap&#8221; means that we position the option well into the future, using a bullish position that gives us time to wait out the sideways churn ahead. 



The beauty of a leap butterfly is that time decay becomes largely irrelevant, so we can wait out the noisy bits in the market as we recover.&nbsp;



Here are the trade details, positioned for upside:



<ul>
<li>Buy to open 1 OKE 20Mar 2026 80 calls </li>



<li>Sell to open 2 OKE 20Mar 2026 100 calls </li>



<li>Buy to open 1 OKE 20Mar 2026 120 calls </li>
</ul>



The long call butterfly holds a current debit of $4.90 at the time of writing, which represents the total risk incurred in the trade. The breakeven price of the stock at expiration on this trade is $84.90.



The total highest potential profit is $20 (the distance between 80 and 100) less the cost of the debit incurred by buying the call butterfly, so: $20 &#8211; $4.90 = $15.10 (less commissions).&nbsp;



Note that it&#8217;s extremely rare to collect all this premium on a butterfly of this kind. Instead, I like to consider 40%-90% profit of the longer-term investment. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ONEOK Key Chart Levels</h2>



Oneok&#8217;s relative resistance zone sits around $105, as I write this, but trading could be choppy for many months due to market uncertainty at this level. Set an alert for prices near this middle strike so that you are aware of the motion into the middle strike, as this is where the maximum profit will engage into expiration.



You will also notice that price action is less sensitive to fluctuation the further we are from expiration. The stock&#8217;s support sits near $70.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trade Management</h2>



This strategy provides several ways to exit the trade, but I will discuss the two main ones:



<ol>
<li>You can sell the call butterfly when the profit goal moves into your target parameters, particularly once the middle strike is tested near the expiration time. I often look for a 40%-90% return for these types of call butterflies with strikes deep in the money. </li>



<li>To sell the call butterfly when your loss threshold is breached. Customarily, this is 50% for me. </li>
</ol>



More advanced traders might consider rolling the short strikes down over time if the price continues to go up.

Trade Profitably On Cooling Energy Earnings

Oil prices jumped sharply Thursday after President Donald Trump took to Truth Social, telling all nations to cease purchases of Iranian oil and petrochemicals, or violators will face <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/regulations">sweeping U.S. secondary sanctions.</a>



"All purchases of Iranian Oil, or Petrochemical products, must stop, NOW!" Trump wrote. 



"Any Country or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of OIL or PETROCHEMICALS from Iran will be subject to, immediately, Secondary Sanctions. They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form."



While the declaration has yet to be backed by an official White House press release or executive order, energy markets wasted no time reacting. 



Within 30 minutes of the post going live, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices — tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) — rose from $58.60 to $59.20, a gain of nearly 1%. 



The move underscores the market's sensitivity to Middle East-related supply disruptions, particularly involving Iran, which remains a major crude player despite being under sanctions since 2018.



U.S. oil &amp; gas stocks – as tracked by the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) – flipped to gains, rising 1% by 2:20 p.m. ET. 



Wall Street remained broadly unfazed by the rising risk of a potential Iranian oil embargo, with the S&amp;P 500 index extending daily gains, up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45146182/wall-street-eyes-8th-positive-day-as-sp-500-recoups-tariff-led-losses-bitcoin-rallies-to-97000-whats-driving-markets-thursday">1.2% to 5,635 points. </a>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China Is The Largest Buyer Of Iranian Crude</h3>



China currently accounts for nearly 90% of Iranian oil exports, which hit an all-time high of 1.8 million barrels per day in March, per ship tracking data from Vortex cited by Reuters.



A significant portion of that oil is believed to be offloaded into the northeastern province of Shandong, home to independent refineries that often operate outside international regulatory frameworks.



Beijing's persistent imports have drawn increasing ire from U.S. policymakers. 



"The Iranian regime uses the revenue it generates from these sales to finance attacks on U.S. allies, support terrorism around the world, and pursue other destabilizing actions," said Department of State spokesperson Tammy Bruce in a March press release.



According to the U.S. Department of State, &#8220;China is by far the largest importer of Iranian oil.&#8221;

Oil Prices Soar After Trump Threatens Sanctions On Iranian Crude Buyers: Is China On Top Of The List?

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) analysts highlight a strong showing by Azure as the key factor that powered the tech giant&#8217;s better-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45117886/microsoft-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-cloud-revenue-up-20">third-quarter performance.</a>



Microsoft Analysts: TD Cowen analyst Derrick Wood maintained a Buy rating on Microsoft and raised the price target from $475 to $490.



KeyBanc analyst Jackson Ader maintained a Sector Weight rating with no price target.



JPMorgan analyst Mark Murphy maintained an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $465 to $475.



Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin maintained an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $435 to $475.



Bank of America analyst Brad Sills reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target from $480 to $515.



Scotiabank analyst Patrick Colville reiterated a Sector Outperform rating and raised the price target from $470 to $500.

TD Cowen on MSFT: A rebound in non-AI growth and strong AI demand were highlights in the third quarter for Wood according to a new investor note.



The analyst said Azure, cloud and AI saw strong demand in the quarter. For Azure, growth of 35% year-over-year was well above guidance, Wood said.



"MSFT attributed upside mostly to better-than-expected non-AI workload growth, driven by enterprise strength and accelerating demand for cloud migrations," Wood said.



Wood said the strength of Azure reverses several bumpy quarters and could shift the narrative on the stock.



"MSFT appears well positioned in key secular growth markets, particularly Public Cloud with its Azure platform, which we expect to be the company's main growth driver."



KeyBanc on MSFT: Microsoft reported its "cleanest quarter in a while," Ader said in a new investor note.



The analyst said the right items delivered the upside.



"Azure growth was the standout at 35% growth in constant currency on the back of cleaning up some execution that hurt last quarter and some capacity being unlocked earlier than expected," Ader said.



Ader said his recent downgrade of the stock "looks pretty foolish right now."



"The quarter does highlight a principal risk in not being overweight MSFT right now, which is that we have no visibility into capacity unlocks."



The analyst said Microsoft's return on investment math for AI is still difficult to make sense of and there could be better stocks to play "offense" with.



JPMorgan on MSFT: Investors may have been too pessimistic ahead of Microsoft's earnings, Murphy said in a new investor note.



"Azure performance a ray of light," Murphy said.



The analyst said the hard data looks more resilient than the soft data and Microsoft's Azure and AI strength showed up in the quarter.



"The apparent lack of any tangible macro stress or strain, including commentary that demand signals across the commercial business were consistent in April and are expected to remain so moving forward."



Murphy said Microsoft's AI Services are showing upside faster than expected.



"Microsoft has pulled ahead of the pack with a state-of-the-art cloud platform." &nbsp;



Piper Sandler on MSFT: Third-quarter results were "better-than-feared," Bracelin said in a new investor note.



"Azure growth surprisingly accelerated to 35% on a combination of non-AI outperformance and continued AI momentum," Bracelin said.



The analyst said Microsoft's strong operating cash flow provides flexibility for increased capex, dividends, M&amp;A or stock buybacks in the future.



"The world's largest cloud franchise with a first-mover advantage in Gen AI," Bracelin said of Microsoft.



Bank of America on MSFT: Azure and AI were the highlights for Sills.



"View Microsoft as the sole AI leader in both apps and infrastructure," Sills said.



The analyst said Microsoft has balanced cloud and AI growth that helped boost Azure in the quarter.



"Q3 results suggest that ROI on capex is coming into view sooner than expected."



Scotiabank on MSFT: Microsoft is bringing "a new golden age driven by Azure," Colville said in a new investor note.



The analyst said the third quarter was a standout quarter with standout guidance.



"Azure F3Q growth was a blowout, driven by unleashed AI spend and traditional workloads up-ticking Q/Q," Colville said.



The analyst said the quarterly results could shutdown the "AI slowdown bear narrative."



"With MSFT trading not far off 5-year valuation lows, we think now is the time to step back in."



The analyst said Microsoft has a strong future as a "leading horseman of the AI revolution."



MSFT Price Action: Microsoft stock is up 8.5% to $428.93 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $344.79 to $468.35. Microsoft stock is up 2.4% year-to-date in 2025.

Microsoft Stock Rallies On Q3 Strength Of Azure: Analyst Says Company Is 'Sole AI Leader In Both Apps And Infrastructure'

E-commerce leader Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) could shed some light on how growing anxiety over tariffs is affecting consumption trends and the broader economic environment, when it reports first-quarter financial results after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market close Thursday.</a>



Here are the analyst earnings estimates, what experts are saying ahead of the report and key items to watch.



Earnings Estimates: Analysts estimate the e-commerce behemoth will report first-quarter revenue of $155.01 billion, up from $143.31 billion in the year-earlier period, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0430">from Benzinga Pro. </a>



The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters and eight of the last 10 quarters overall.



Analysts expect Amazon to report first-quarter earnings per share of $1.36, up from 98 cents per share a year earlier. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in nine straight quarters.



Previous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43545590/amazoncom-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-most-successful-holiday-shopping-season-in-company-history">guidance from the company </a>calls for first-quarter net sales to be in a range of $151 billion to $155.5 billion.

What Experts Are Saying: Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods said AI monetization and consumer spending habits are set to be key aspects in Amazon's earnings report.



"Investors are also focused on their e-commerce and consumer trends to get a better gauge to see if new spending habits are impacting the bottom line as expectations of tariffs grow," Woods said in a weekly <a href="https://jaywoods.substack.com/">newsletter</a>.



With Amazon shares down by more than 20% from its late-January highs, WestPark Capital analyst Curtis Shauger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44591414/amazon-stocks-recent-pullback-offers-unique-opportunity-analyst">highlighted a buying opportunit</a>y for the stock.



Shauger initiated Amazon with a Buy rating and $280 price target. The analyst highlighted the company's e-commerce dominance and Amazon Web Services being a top player in the infrastructure-as-a-service market.



The analyst estimates that AWS is about twice the size of Microsoft's Azure and around three times the size of Alphabet's Google Cloud Platform.



Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45050326/oppenheimers-helfstein-cuts-amazon-price-target-to-220-on-tariff-concerns">recently maintained an </a>Outperform rating on Amazon while lowering the price target from $260 to $220.



The analyst lowered Amazon estimates due to the overall economic uncertainty fueled by the Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs. Helfstein said sellers may have to pass the higher tariff costs onto consumers in the future.



Key Items to Watch: Tariffs will be the biggest topic on the minds of investors and analysts. The question will be how much color Amazon will provide, given a report the company was preparing to show the impact of tariffs directly to consumers did not go over well with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45067585/amazon-stock-tumbles-as-white-house-calls-tariff-visibility-plans-a-hostile-act">the White House.</a>



Amazon could be cautious in its language about tariffs, given the company's founder Jeff Bezos reportedly received a phone call from President Donald Trump earlier this week.



Outside of tariffs, AI and cloud will likely be the next biggest topics, with the company&#8217;s AWS segment and any commentary on new contracts and company demand potential positives. 



The geographical split of revenue growth could be a key item to watch. In the fourth quarter, North American net sales were up 10% year-over-year, outperforming the 8% year-over-year growth of the International segment.



AWS led all three segments with 19% year-over-year growth.



The latest quarterly result won't have several of the catalysts that were part of the fourth-quarter result including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but could see results from "Thursday Night Football" and NFL coverage, which was highlighted in the last report.



Amazon streamed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43013529/amazon-scores-record-with-steelers-ravens-nfl-playoffs-stream-how-game-stacks-up-with-other-media-streamers">NFL playoff game</a> in January, which set a new Amazon NFL streaming record. Analysts and investors will be looking for more commentary on Prime Video subscribers, advertising revenue and more.



Another item to watch could be any update on Amazon's new Trainium 2 AI chip. The chip was mentioned in the last earnings report, but there has not been many updates since that time.



AMZN Price Action: Amazon stock was down 1.6% to $184.42 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $151.61 to $242.52. Amazon stock is down 16.3% year-to-date in 2025 and shares are up around 5% over the last year.

Amazon.com Q1 Earnings Preview: All Eyes On E-Commerce Trends, AI As Tariff Anxiety Grows

Tech giant Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) could show better-than-feared results for China and the iPhone when the company reports second-quarter financial results after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">market close Thursday.</a>



Here are analyst earnings estimates, a look at what analysts are saying ahead of the report and key items to watch.



Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Apple to report second-quarter revenue of $94.42 billion, up from $90.75 billion in last year's second quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0430"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>



The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in eight straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.



Analysts expect Apple to report second-quarter earnings per share of $1.62, up from $1.53 in last year's second quarter.



The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in eight straight quarters and in nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

What Experts Are Saying: Progress on global production of items like the iPhone could be a key focus for investors in the second quarter results, said Jay Woods, Freedom Capital Markets chief global strategist.



"AAPL shares are 19% below all-time highs and facing pressure in the Chinese markets. The company has announced plans to shift production to India," Woods said in a weekly <a href="https://jaywoods.substack.com/">newsletter</a>.



He added that quarterly results could show a bump in iPhone sales with people "rushing out to beat expected tariff increases.&#8221; And that "iPhone sales will also be scrutinized closely."



Woods said Apple could provide a "tease" of what's to come next, but that will likely be reserved for their upcoming events.



Apple and the tech sector face a "black cloud overhang" due to tariffs, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a recent investor note.



He expects minimal guidance from Apple, given the overhang and predicts that Apple could see lower demand if China tariffs stay in place.



"We remain bullish on the long-term opportunity for Apple's flagship ecosystem and focus on its 1.5 billion iPhone and 2.4 billion iOS installed base and massive Services business for downside protection in this market backdrop for tech investors," Ives said.



He advised Apple investors to look past the next quarter and assume tariff negotiations will take a positive turn in the future to "stop this tariff tornado from hitting iPhone prices."



Rosenblatt analyst Barton Crockett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44632659/trump-tariffs-could-blow-up-apple-analyst-estimates-39-5-billion-impact">recently said that</a> Trump's tariffs could "blow up Apple." The analyst maintained a Buy rating on Apple with a $263 price target.



Crockett estimates that Apple could face $39.5 billion in tariff costs.



&#8220;We believe that close to 100% of iPhones sold in the U.S. are made in China, 90% of Macs, 80% of iPads, 90% of Apple Watches and 35% of Airpods.&#8221;



Without Apple raising prices, the analyst estimates that operating profits and earnings per share could be down by around 32% annually. Raising prices could offset demand, Crockett warned.



Tigress Financial analyst Ivan Feinseth said Apple's Services growth and the integration of Apple Intelligence<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44961882/iphone-resecue-apple-tariff-worries"> are future catalysts </a>that investors should focus on.



The analyst said these two items and Apple&#8217;s growing customer base will &#8220;continue to drive ongoing revenue and cash flow growth.&#8221;



&#8220;AAPL&#8217;s ongoing integration of Apple Intelligence will increasingly enhance the cadence of new product introductions and drive Services growth and further growth of its ecosystem,&#8221; Feinseth said.



Feinseth noted that Apple&#8217;s installed base of active devices hit an all-time high in the most recently reported quarter and reiterated a Strong Buy rating on Apple, raising the price target from $295 to $300.



JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/45046046/apple-q2-will-be-better-than-feared-analyst-says-iphone-company-has-proven-track-record">recently said Apple's</a> second quarter results will be "better-than-feared."



The analyst, who maintained an Overweight rating and a $245 price target, said fears of demand disruption and cost headwinds from tariffs could weigh on Apple stock, while maintaining a bullish outlook on revenue and momentum.



&#8220;We are positive on AAPL shares with a near-term view into a positive set up into earnings with the likelihood of better-than-feared outcomes in relation to both revenues and gross margins,&#8221; Chatterjee said.



The analyst expects a &#8220;modest pull-forward&#8221; in demand thanks to consumer upgrades and channel inventory fill.



Key Items to Watch: Tariffs and iPhones will be the two most closely watched items in Apple's results and management commentary.



In the first-quarter iPhone sales declined to $69.14 billion from the previous first quarter total of $69.7 billion. That weakness was offset by year-over-year growth for other segments like Mac, iPad, Wearables and Services.



So, while all eyes will be on the iPhone, investors and analysts will also look at the other lines to see whether the strength there is offsetting or is complementary to the iPhone segment.



Guidance will be another key topic, as Apple does not provide forward guidance after the first quarter. Many companies have stopped reporting guidance or have been more cautious in their guidance, given the tariff concerns and the macroeconomic environment.



Apple will host the Worldwide Developers Conference beginning on June 9. The company could provide a tease of what items or parts of this it is most excited about. 



AAPL Price Action: Apple stock trades at $211.32 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $169.11 to $260.10. Apple stock is down 13.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up 24% over the last year.

Apple Q2 Earnings Preview: Analysts Remain Bullish But Warn Of 'Tariff Tornado' Hitting iPhone

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has broken through $96,000 in Thursday trading and could be headed even higher, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">according to technical analysis</a>.



What Happened: In his monthly market analysis <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY0Mp_PU430">podcast</a> published on April 30, technical analyst Kevin highlighted that Bitcoi is nearing a potential breakout from its current consolidation at the golden pocket resistance zone. 



This price between $94,410 and $95,581 is historically significant, and Kevin suggests a resolution is likely imminent, particularly with the help of favorable macroeconomic conditions.



He points to improving inflation data, a potential shift in Federal Reserve policy, and growing Bitcoin dominance as bullish signals.



Kevin also noted that Bitcoin dominance has risen for five consecutive months, a rare occurrence only seen once before in 2019. 



If the Fed pivots on monetary policy, he believes it could trigger a rotation back into altcoins, breaking that streak.

Why It Matters: The May 8 Fed meeting is widely seen as a pivotal moment. 



Traders are watching closely for indications of rate cuts or changes in quantitative tightening, both of which could inject new momentum into crypto markets.



Kevin highlights that core PCE inflation has now dropped to its lowest since August 2021, validating his long-standing thesis that inflation would continue to cool. Despite a weaker GDP headline, the Atlanta Fed's Q2 estimate is +2.4%, suggesting the economic backdrop may support risk assets like Bitcoin.



Meanwhile, altcoins are also flashing bullish signals. 



Kevin notes that the Total3 altcoin market cap excluding BTC and ETH chart has formed a bullish engulfing monthly candle and held multiple key Fibonacci levels. 



A breakout above $872 billion could spark a fresh leg higher for the broader crypto market.



What's Next: Market expectations for Fed policy have shifted dramatically, with the FedWatch tool now showing a 62% chance of a rate cut in June, followed by additional cuts in July and September.



While maintaining a bullish medium-term outlook, Kevin cautions traders about potential short-term volatility: &#8220;Until we break through this golden pocket durably and show follow through, you have to be a little cautious at this level." If Bitcoin fails to break out immediately, $88,000–$90,000 is the key support zone to watch before any move higher.

Bitcoin Breaks $96,000 Ahead Of 'Pivotal Week'

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been udpated to correct the Stock Movers list.



Wall Street pushed higher in midday trading, with the S&amp;P 500 on track for its eighth consecutive gain — its longest winning streak since November 2023. The index rose about 1% to 5,560, fully recovering the losses sustained after former President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade tariffs on April 2.</a>



Technology stocks led the rally, with the Nasdaq 100 climbing 1.5%. Strong and resilient corporate earnings continue to fuel investor appetite for risk, helping markets shrug off recent tariff concerns.



President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going "very well" and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.



On the economic front, data continued to paint a weaker picture. After Wednesday's disappointing first-quarter GDP report, the ISM manufacturing PMI showed factory activity contracted for the second straight month in April. Meanwhile, price pressures surged at the fastest pace since June 2022, reflecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">inflationary effects from tariffs.</a>



Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) was a standout gainer, soaring 8.60% after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI.

Wall Street Eyes 8th Positive Day As S&P 500 Recoups Tariff-Led Losses, Bitcoin Rallies To $97,000: What's Driving Markets Thursday? (CORRECTED)

The U.S. manufacturing sector shrank for the second straight month in April, driven by weakening demand and rising price pressures linked to tariffs, according to the latest data from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">Institute for Supply Management (ISM).</a>



The ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) fell from 49% in March to 48.7%, its third consecutive monthly decline. While surpassing the economist consensus of 48%, the outcome remains below the neutral 50% threshold, indicating another month of contraction.



&#8220;Demand and output weakened while input strengthened further, conditions that are not considered positive for economic growth,&#8221; Timothy R. Fiore, chair of the ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, stated. 



He added that destaffing continued as firms grappled with uncertainty and rising costs.



Fiore cited growing backlogs and supplier delivery delays, noting that "prices growth accelerated slightly due to tariffs," which may have pushed firms to frontload purchases and accumulate inventories.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Manufacturing Price Pressures Hit 34-Month High</h3>



The New Orders Index rose modestly to 47.2%, up 2 points from March's 45.2%, but remained in contraction territory for the third straight month.



Production deteriorated sharply, with the Production Index plunging to 44% from 48.3% in March—a drop of 4.3 points and a clear sign of weakening factory activity.



The Backlog of Orders Index was 43.7%, down 0.8 percentage point from the previous reading of 44.5%.



The Employment Index registered 46.5%, up 1.8 percentage points from March's 44.7%, remaining in contraction zone.



&#8220;The Supplier Deliveries Index indicated a continued slowing of deliveries, registering 55.2%, 1.7 percentage points higher than the 53.5% recorded in March,&#8221; said Fiore. 



Notably, the Prices Index rose to 69.8% in April, the highest since June 2022 and up slightly from March's 69.4%. This elevated reading underscores the resurgence of inflationary forces within the supply chain, largely tied to renewed trade barriers and tariffs.



Export activity weakened significantly, with the New Export Orders Index falling to 43.1%, a steep drop from March's 49.6%. Imports also dipped into contraction territory, registering 47.1%, down from 50.1%.



Inventory levels expanded for the second consecutive month, with the Inventories Index at 50.8%. Fiore warned that "inventory growth is not a positive sign when demand is moving in the opposite direction." 



&#8220;The recent expansion is considered a temporary move to avoid tariffs, and levels will decline when such trade issues are resolved,&#8221; Fiore added.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Dollar Rallies, Yields Rise</h3>



Markets reacted swiftly to the report, particularly in currency and bond markets. 



The U.S. dollar strengthened, with the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) rising 0.5% and regaining the 100 mark, reaching two-week highs. 



The 10-year Treasury yield climbed 4 basis points to 4.19%, as traders priced in the likelihood that the Federal Reserve may delay rate cuts due to persistent price pressures.



Stock markets were relatively unfazed. 



The S&amp;P 500, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), rose 0.4% to 5,615 by 10:15 a.m. ET. Gains were mirrored across the Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100, while the small-cap Russell 2000 outperformed with a 0.9% advance.

Apple stock is currently navigating a relatively stagnant trend, but underlying buying pressure may be laying the groundwork for a bullish breakout. Apple stock, at $212.50, is trading above its eight-day and 20-day simple moving averages &#8211; $208.54 and $199.51, respectively &#8211; indicating short-term bullish momentum. This suggests that traders are stepping in to support the stock at current levels, a constructive sign for potential upside.



However, Apple stock still faces resistance on longer timeframes, as it trades below its 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages of $216.38 and $227.23. These levels suggest that the broader trend remains bearish for now. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading of a negative 0.71 further supports this cautious stance, though the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 54.2 reflects moderate bullish sentiment without being overbought. 



Overall, while Apple stock isn't yet in full bullish territory, continued buying pressure and a break above the 50-day moving average could mark a trend reversal worth watching.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs, AI Delays Could Mute Super Cycle Talk</h2>



Heading into earnings, expectations are being tempered by macro uncertainties. According to Hightower Advisors&#8217; Chief Investment Strategist Stephanie Link, first-quarter numbers may have seen a pull-in ahead of tariffs, but Apple may refrain from providing forward guidance. 



She points to tariffs and AI delays as reasons why she finds the scenario of a &#8220;super cycle unlikely.&#8221; Though services &#8211; expected to grow double digits &#8211; will likely be a bright spot. Still, with Apple trading at 28x earnings and showing only single-digit revenue growth, valuation could be a headwind.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple Analysts See About 4% Upside</h2>



Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> for Apple stock is currently a Buy, with a price target of $233.40. The three most recent analyst ratings for Apple stock, from Rosenblatt, Loop Capital and Barclays, imply a 3.70% upside based on their average price target of $217.



AAPL Stock Price Action: Apple stock was down 0.2% at $212.06 at the time of publication Thursday.

Apple Gears Up For Q2 Earnings With Bearish Technicals: 'Super Cycle Unlikely' Says Strategist

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) delivered a blockbuster quarter that beat expectations across the board, with cloud and AI momentum now so strong that Goldman Sachs sees the stock marching near all-time highs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">at $480 per share. </a>



In a note shared Thursday, Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan said Microsoft's fiscal third-quarter results reinforced confidence in the company's long-term AI leadership, as Azure growth reaccelerated and new data pointed to durable enterprise demand for cloud infrastructure and AI tools.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Drove The Beat?</h3>



For the quarter ending March 31, Microsoft reported earnings per share of $3.46, exceeding estimates of $3.21, while revenue climbed to $70.07 billion, ahead of the $68.48 billion consensus. 



Azure and other cloud services revenue rose 35% year-over-year in constant currency, accelerating from 31% in the prior quarter and topping Goldman's forecast of 32%.



Crucially, artificial intelligence continues to drive Azure's growth. AI-related services contributed 16 percentage points of that 35% increase, up from 13 points last quarter. Non-AI workloads also posted their first acceleration since early 2024, growing 19%, a sign that demand is broadening beyond early AI adopters.



"We reiterate our Buy rating while raising our PT to $480 (vs. $450 prior) following F3Q25 outperformance across all key metrics," Rangan said. 



He added that Microsoft is increasingly well-positioned to capture a share of the AI market across both infrastructure and application layers.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CapEx: Still High, But Under Control</h3>



Microsoft's capital expenditures came in at $21.4 billion, marking the first sequential decline in CapEx since the first fiscal quarter of 2023, which helped ease concerns that the company was overspending to maintain its AI advantage.



Despite the pullback, Goldman says Microsoft's capital expenditures (CapEx) are still likely to grow faster than cloud revenue in the short term, reflecting longer-term investments required to meet rising demand.



Rangan held his fiscal year 2026 CapEx growth forecast at 21% year-over-year and signaled that capital intensity may begin moderating after years of heavy investment.



This, Rangan said, should be a "relief for the tech food chain," as it suggests peak CapEx is not yet behind the company but may soon be reached.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Copilot Gains Traction</h3>



Another standout: Microsoft's generative AI product Copilot continues to gain adoption, with user numbers up 3x year-over-year and over 230,000 organizations engaging with Copilot Studio. 



This supports Goldman's thesis that Copilot could evolve into the defining enterprise application of the AI era.



Record customer seat purchases further strengthen the case that Copilot is not just a flashy experiment but a sticky, revenue-generating platform that could replicate the kind of success seen in Microsoft 365.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Q4 Guidance And AI Outlook</h3>



Looking ahead, Microsoft guided fourth-quarter cloud margins to about 67%, with intelligent cloud revenue expected between $28.75 billion and $29.05 billion. 



Productivity segment sales are forecast at $32.05 billion to $32.35 billion, while more personal computing should bring in $12.35 billion to $12.85 billion.



Goldman says that despite macroeconomic uncertainty and potential tariff risks, the company is set up to post free cash flow growth of 3% and earnings-per-share growth of 17% in fiscal year 2026, with Azure maintaining a 30% growth rate.



The firm expects earnings to reaccelerate into the high double digits as Microsoft exits its capital-intensive phase and enters the high-margin inference stage of AI deployment.



"We continue to believe that as Gen-AI moves from the infrastructure layer to the platform/application layers, Microsoft is well positioned to capitalize on this shift," Rangan said.



Shares of Microsoft were up as much as 8.4% in premarket trading Thursday.

Microsoft's Blockbuster Quarter Cements Goldman's Bullish AI, Cloud Thesis

Editor's note: This article has been updated for accuracy regarding Marathon Petroleum's year-to-date performance.



Editor&#8217;s Note: Today, we&#8217;re hearing from Tom Gentile, one of America&#8217;s most successful pattern traders, with 30 years of trading and teaching experience under his belt. You may recognize him from Money Morning, CNBC, or the numerous options books he has authored. Most importantly, Tom has spent the last two decades building some of the most sophisticated pattern-tracking software in the markets, with the help of actual rocket scientists from NASA and Raytheon. Below, he reveals three &#8220;tariff-proof&#8221; stocks his system has identified. 



The tariff threats might be paused for now—but the uncertainty isn't going anywhere. It's not a matter of if they flare back up, it's when.



Sure, we&#8217;ve seen a few rallies since the tariffs were first announced in early April, and the DOW tanked by 4,000 points. But let's be honest: those rallies were more like dead cat bounces. The underlying issues—higher tariffs on Chinese imports and retaliation overseas—haven't gone anywhere. And they're still weighing heavy on the markets.



The simple truth? The tariff war isn't over. Not even close. And it's created an environment where what used to be &#8220;safe&#8221; plays just aren't so safe anymore.



Here's the good news: There's still a path to profits—even in the choppiest markets—if you know where to look.



So, I've been busy running my scans, checking my seasonal patterns and analyzing the stocks and sectors that actually benefit from tariffs. That's right: some companies are positioned to thrive in this environment.



And today, I want to show you the top three stocks I consider to be &#8220;tariff-proof&#8221; and why they&#8217;re primed to soar this spring.



Let&#8217;s dig in.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Steel</h2>



U.S. Steel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) is still one of the clearest beneficiaries when it comes to tariff dynamics.



Why? Because X is heavily invested in domestic production and because foreign competitors face higher barriers, they've gained serious pricing power. And with tariffs once again dominating the headlines, U.S. Steel is right back in the spotlight.



Now, has the stock seen its share of volatility this year? Absolutely.



Shares pulled back sharply in early April, along with the broader market selloff. But even with the turbulence, X has stabilized faster than many other industrial names—and it&#8217;s showing signs of strength as infrastructure spending ramps up.



So, as long as the tariff battle continues—and as long as domestic steel demand stays firm—U.S. Steel is positioned to outperform. It's one of the few companies that stands to benefit as Washington puts more pressure on imports.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marathon Petroleum</h2>



Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) remains one of the quiet winners as trade tensions reshape the energy market. Domestic refining stands to gain when tariffs hit Canadian oil—and Marathon is built to thrive on U.S. supply.



With a massive nationwide network and deep investment in American energy, MPC is positioned right where the demand shift is heading.



And they&#8217;ve proven they can capitalize.



While Marathon has faced some headwinds this year and is down over 2% since January, the company's underlying fundamentals remain solid. Its latest earnings report showed revenue topping $36.2 billion—a clear sign that demand is holding firm, even as the stock has lagged.



Bottom line?



As the push toward U.S. energy independence grows and foreign oil faces even more hurdles, Marathon is built to keep winning.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Archer Daniels Midland</h2>



Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>) is still my favorite of the group—and for good reason.



What sets ADM apart is its seasonal strength. Between March and May, this stock has moved higher nine out of the last ten years. That's 90% accuracy over the last decade—a consistency you don't find very often.



When I ran these three stocks through my Money Calendar software, ADM was the clear standout.



It's delivered an average 6% move higher during this window, and just last year, it popped nearly 13% between March and May. That's the kind of reliability I want in my corner.



And here's the best part: ADM doesn't care about tariffs.



Its seasonal pattern—and its position as a global agriculture powerhouse—gives it pattern-driven potential, strong fundamentals and technical momentum all at once.



In a choppy market, that&#8217;s the triple threat you want working for you.

3 Stocks To Turn Tariffs Into Opportunities (CORRECTED)

Eli Lilly and Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) stock is trading lower after the company released first-quarter earnings and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/45112166/eli-lilly-stock-has-the-technicals-will-q1-earnings-deliver-fundamentals" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowered 2025 guidance</a>.



The U.S. pharma giant reported first-quarter revenue of $12.73 billion, up 45% year over year, almost in line with the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $12.67 billion</a>, driven by a 53% increase in volume, partially offset by a 6% decrease due to lower realized prices and a 2% unfavorable impact of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45129353/lilly-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-and-highlights-pipeline-momentum" rel="noreferrer noopener">foreign exchange rates</a>.



Key Products revenue grew by&nbsp;$4.09 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$7.52 billion&nbsp;in Q1 2025, led by Mounjaro and Zepbound.

Revenue in the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;increased 49% to&nbsp;$8.49 billion, driven by a 57% increase in volume, partially offset by a 7% decrease due to lower realized prices. Zepbound and Mounjaro drove the increase in&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;volume.



Revenue outside the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;increased 38% to&nbsp;$4.24 billion, driven by a 46% increase in volume.



The volume increase outside the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;was driven primarily by Mounjaro and, to a lesser extent, Jardiance.



The company reported an adjusted EPS of $3.34, compared to $2.58 from a year ago, beating the consensus of $3.02.



Mounjaro sales&nbsp;jumped 113% to $3.84 billion. U.S.&nbsp;revenue was&nbsp;$2.66 billion, an increase of 75%, reflecting continued strong demand, partially offset by lower realized prices.



Revenue outside the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;increased to&nbsp;$1.19 billion&nbsp;compared with&nbsp;$286.2 million&nbsp;in Q1 2024, primarily driven by volume growth, including entry into new markets, partially offset by lower realized prices.



Sales of Verzenio (a breast cancer drug)&nbsp;increased 10% to&nbsp;$1.16 billion. U.S.&nbsp;revenue was&nbsp;$657.6 million, a 3% increase driven by higher realized prices. Increased demand was more than offset by wholesaler buying patterns and competitive dynamics.



Revenue outside the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;was&nbsp;$501.3 million, an increase of 22%, primarily driven by volume growth, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.



Zepbound sales reached $2.31 billion, surging from $517.4 million a year ago, driven by demand growth despite pricing pressures.



Guidance: Eli Lilly reaffirms fiscal year 2025 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43525518/eli-lilly-q4-earnings-strong-demand-for-mounjaro-but-prices-dip-forecasts-over-30-jump-in-2025-sales-on-newer-medicines" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales of $58 billion—$61 billion</a> versus a consensus of $59.52 billion and $45.04 billion in 2024.



Eli Lilly lowers the 2025 adjusted EPS outlook from $22.50-$24.00 to $20.78-$22.28 compared to the consensus of $21.93 to reflect the impact of the Q1 2025 acquired IPR&amp;D.



In Q1 2025, the company recognized acquired in-process research and development (IPR&amp;D) charges of $1.57 billion compared with $110.5 million in Q1 2024, primarily related to acquiring Scorpion Therapeutics, Inc.'s STX-478 program.



In January, Eli Lilly agreed to acquire Scorpion Therapeutics' PI3Kα inhibitor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42949261/eli-lilly-scoops-up-scorpion-therapeutics-early-stage-cancer-program-for-25-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">program STX-478</a>.



STX-478 is a once-daily oral, mutant-selective PI3Kα inhibitor currently being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for breast cancer and other advanced solid tumors.&nbsp;



Under the terms of the agreement, Lilly will acquire Scorpion, and Scorpion shareholders could receive up to&nbsp;$2.5 billion&nbsp;in cash. Up to $1 billion will be paid upfront, with an additional $1.5 billion contingent on meeting specific performance milestones.



Eli Lilly added that the guidance includes the existing tariff and trade environment and does not reflect any policy shifts, including pharmaceutical sector tariffs, that could impact business.



In an interview with CNBC, Eli Lilly CEO Dave Ricks <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/01/eli-lilly-lly-earnings-q1-2025.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>, "I think that actually the threat of tariffs is already bringing back critical supply chains into important industries, chips and pharma."



"So do we need to enact [tariffs?] I'm not so sure," Ricks said.



Price Action: At last check on Thursday, LLY stock was down 6.91% to 837.26.

Mounjaro Maker Eli Lilly Clocks 45% Jump In Q1 Revenue, Cuts 2025 Profit Outlook But Not Due To Tariffs

Crude oil's decline shows no signs of ending, with prices sinking more than 2% below $57 per barrel on Thursday morning as markets brace for a potential OPEC+ supply hike and rising signs of economic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">stress across major economies.</a>



West Texas Intermediate crude futures – as closely represented by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) – are now on track to log four straight days of declines and reach April lows, when front-month contracts broke below $55, marking the cheapest level in over four years.



Since peaking in March 2022, oil prices have plunged 55%, with a 21% drop year-to-date and a 30% decline over the past 12 months, indicating a persistent bear market struggling to find a floor.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">OPEC+ May Raise Supply Despite Falling Prices</h3>



Fresh pressure on prices came from reports that Saudi Arabia has told allies and industry participants it is prepared to endure a longer stretch of low prices without further supply cuts. 



This strengthened speculation that OPEC+ could unveil a new production increase at its May 5 meeting.



David Goldman, head of trading at Novion Global, said reports about Riyadh&#8217;s stance triggered Thursday's sharp sell-off. 



"Oil prices fell as much as 4% after reports that Saudi Arabia can endure a sustained period of depressed prices," he said, noting that the market fears a longer period of surplus supply from the Saudi-led alliance.



Goldman Sachs analyst Daan Struyven expects OPEC+ to raise production modestly by 100,000 barrels per day in June and July, keeping output steady afterward. Yet, the risks are tilted toward a more aggressive ramp-up. "Kazakhstan&#8217;s focus on national interests increases risks of a larger OPEC+ production hike in June," Struyven said.



&#8220;While the 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs provided a stay of execution, the chances of recession remains unusually high,&#8221; he added. 



Adding to bearish sentiment was the latest GDP report, which showed the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter for the first time in three years.



Goldman Sachs' economics team now sees a 45% probability of a U.S. recession in the next 12 months, citing persistently high policy uncertainty, weak real income growth and cautious consumer spending. 



They believe oil prices could fall even more during a recession than during a typical growth slowdown.



&#8220;Oil prices are likely to decline more in the next recession relative to the slowdown in global growth and in oil demand because OPEC supply is likely to fall less than the median-peak-to-trough decline of 2.7mb/d in for the last three recessions,&#8221; Struyven said.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;The Cure For Low Oil Prices Is Low Oil Prices&#8217;</h3>



David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation, said the bearish backdrop is reinforced by structural demand weakness in China and new geopolitical risks. 



"The global demand growth outlook was weak even before President Trump began his trade war," he said. "Now it has to deal with Trump's tariffs which have effectively ended trade between the U.S. and China."



&#8220;OPEC+ is in no mood to step in to support the&nbsp;oil&nbsp;price. Quite the contrary, as the group is anxious to unwind the production cuts which did so much to support the&nbsp;oil&nbsp;price over the past couple of year,&#8221; he added.



Still, he indicated that markets rarely move in straight lines. Sharp bottoms, like sharp tops, often signal a turning point, though it&#8217;s too early to say whether crude has reached that stage. 



Amid mixed signals and rising uncertainty, Morrison suggested that oil remains tough to trade, but reiterated a familiar market truism: "The cure for low oil prices is low oil prices."
