If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) co-founder Jensen Huang once mentioned in an interview that within the world's most valuable chipmaker, there&#8217;s never any talk of &#8216;market share&#8217;.
What Happened: "We never talk about market share in our company… Why are you fighting people for market share?" Huang told Sana Labs founder Joel Hellermark during the 2023 Sana AI Summit at Stockholm's Eric Ericsonhallen. "The whole concept of market share says there's a whole bunch of other people doing the same thing. And if they're doing the same thing, why are we doing it?"

Huang argued that competing on volume or price drains talent and imagination. "Why am I squandering the lives of these incredibly talented people to do something that has already been done?" he asked. Instead, Nvidia directs engineers toward novel challenges — from graphics processors in the 1990s to today's AI-accelerating hardware — based on the belief that fresh territory yields the highest returns.

He said the discipline includes knowing when to walk away. "That demonstrates very clearly to your employees that we're not going to do commodity work," Huang added. "The combination of choosing the right work and walking away from the wrong work is the best way to create the conditions [for employees to do their life's work]."
Why It Matters: Huang&#8217;s vision for Nvidia has always been about setting a legacy for transformation in the tech world &#8211; a perception that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44705770/nvidias-jensen-huang-doesnt-want-to-be-elon-musk-reveals-his-biographer-he-hates-science-fiction">comes through</a> in his recent biography, penned by Stephen Witt. 
Often described as a &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38782845/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huangs-demanding-leadership-style-draws-mixed-reactions-from-experts-some-defe">demanding</a>&#8216; boss, Huang&#8217;s approach is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831437/marc-andreessen-calls-steve-jobs-somewhere-in-the-middle-of-perfectionist-leader-and-unforgiving-screaming-lunatic">reminiscent of other tech titans</a> like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, also known for their demanding nature.

Jensen Huang Once Insisted Nvidia Never Talks About 'Market Share' At Meetings Revealing Why He Feels That 'Concept' Is Wrong For Work Culture

International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) will be reporting its first-quarter earnings on Wednesday. Wall Street expects $1.40 in EPS and $14.40 billion in revenues as the company reports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings?tickers=IBM">after market hours</a>.
The stock is up 32.22% over the past year and 9.53% year to date, but has cooled off recently with a 3.04% dip over the past month.
Let's examine the charts for IBM stock and how it currently compares to Wall Street estimates.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IBM Stock Trend Is Flat Ahead Of Q1 Earnings</h2>

Technically, IBM stock is moving in a flat trend with a light bullish undertone. With the share price of $240.90 above its eight-day and 20-day simple moving averages of $238.83 and $239.14, respectively, near-term momentum looks constructive. 
Adding to that, IBM's share price remains well above the 200-day simple moving average of $222.81 &#8211; another bullish mark for long-term investors.
However, it's not all smooth code for Big Blue. The 50-day simple moving average at $248.02 is still above the current price, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is at a negative 2.18, signalling a bearish setup. With a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 50.01, the stock isn't showing any strong momentum either way. 
Investors may want to keep an eye on post-earnings action to confirm direction.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IBM Analysts See 17% Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IBM/analyst-ratings">consensus analyst rating</a> on IBM stock stands at Outperform currently with a price target of $213.48. The three most recent analyst ratings &#8211; from RBC Capital, Jefferies and Oppenheimer &#8211; set a bullish tone, averaging a price target of $287 a share, implying a 16.67% upside from current levels.
IBM Price Action: IBM stock was trading at $247.68 at the time of publication.

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) is riding a wave of momentum straight off Wall Street's hot sheet, rallying over 25% in the past five days, thanks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DJT/news">a headline-grabbing partnership</a> with Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital. The stock was also trading higher by over 5.30% in pre-market trading on Wednesday.
The trio <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/04/22/3065411/0/en/Trump-Media-Crypto-com-and-Yorkville-America-Digital-Finalize-Agreement-for-ETF-Launch.html">plans to launch</a> a red, white and blockchain-blue suite of "America-First" ETFs &#8211; and investors are suddenly paying attention.
The deal, now finalized, positions the company owned by President Donald Trump, Truth.Fi brand to expand beyond memes and social media into FinTech territory, with ETFs backed by digital assets and traditional American industry plays. These aren't just future funds &#8211; they're part of a broader $250 million push, with assets to be custodied by Charles Schwab and globally distributed through Crypto.com's broker-dealer, Foris Capital.
But while the America-first narrative is fueling Make America Great Again (MAGA) or MAGA-money traders, the technicals are showing a more nuanced picture.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bullish In The Short Run</h2>
DJT's price action is undeniably bullish in the near term. The stock is trading above its five, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages, indicating short-term strength and consistent buying pressure.
Its eight-day simple moving average sits at $21.31, well below DJT stock at $24.80, and that's mirrored across its 20-day ($19.93) and 50-day ($22.24) simple moving averages &#8211; classic bullish signals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">But MACD, Momentum Say: Not So Fast</h2>
Zoom out a bit, and cracks begin to show. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is sitting at 0.23, thanks to recent gains. Meanwhile, the 200-day simple moving average at $27.32, remains above DJT stock, suggesting the stock has not quite shaken off the ghosts of its broader downtrend.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 64.78, placing it just shy of the overbought zone &#8211; hot, but not overheated. Translation? There's still some room to run, but momentum may start sputtering unless more catalysts hit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Truth Social To Truth ETFs</h2>
The move into ETFs signals a significant strategic shift for Trump Media. CEO Devin Nunes says this is just the beginning of a fintech transformation for the company, with Truth.Fi also rolling out separately managed accounts (SMAs) alongside the ETF suite. 
If executed well, this could be a pivot from political volatility to financial respectability &#8211; though for now, that's still speculative.

DJT Stock Pumps On Trump ETF News, But 200-Day Average Says Wait A Minute

U.S. business activity kept expanding in April, but beneath the surface, growth is losing steam, inflation is reawakening, and the once-reliable services sector is showing signs of malaise following Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">announcements earlier this month.</a>
In flash data released Wednesday by S&amp;P Global, a slowdown in service sector activity dragged the U.S. Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) to 51.2 in April, down from 53.5 in March. While still above the 50 mark that separates expansion from contraction, it's the weakest reading since December 2023.
The flash Services PMI dropped to 51.4 from 54.4, marking the second-slowest pace of growth in the past year, and missing estimates of 52.5. 
The Manufacturing PMI slightly improved to 50.7, up from 50.2, outpacing expectations of a drop to 49.1.
Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, said the figures signal that U.S. output is expanding at a sluggish annualized pace of just 1.0%. 
He added that the manufacturing sector is "broadly stagnating," with the dampening effects of economic uncertainty and weakening exports offsetting any tailwind from tariffs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Drive Prices Higher</h3>
Average prices charged for goods and services rose at the fastest pace in 13 months in April, driven by a 29-month high in manufacturing price inflation. Input costs in manufacturing surged at a rate unseen since August 2022, largely due to tariffs, rising import prices and a weaker U.S. dollar.
In services, prices also climbed at a quicker pace, the fastest in seven months, as firms passed on rising costs tied to labor and raw materials. Although the rate of increase in service input costs slowed from March, it remained the second-highest in six months.
"Tariffs are being cited as the key cause of higher prices," Williamson said, adding that these inflationary pressures "will inevitably feed through to higher consumer inflation."
&#8220;This is creating a headache for a central bank which is coming under increasing pressure to shore up a weakening economy just as inflation looks set to rise,&#8221; he added. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Cheers Possible Tariff Relief</h3>
Despite the downbeat economic data, Wall Street responded with optimism on Wednesday after reports emerged suggesting the Trump administration may ease tariffs on Chinese imports as well as confirmation by the president that he won&#8217;t fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, officials are considering slashing existing duties by up to half, in some cases, and adopting a tiered approach to Chinese imports.
The proposed structure would assign a 35% levy on non-strategic items and at least 100% on products deemed crucial to U.S. national interests, phased in over a five-year period.
A senior White House official said the new policy could reduce the most aggressive tariffs to a range of 50%-65%, aiming to stabilize relations with Beijing and reduce pressure on global supply chains.
The S&amp;P 500 index – tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – opened over 3% higher, with Nasdaq 100 tech stocks rallying 3.7% and the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) outperforming with a 4% gain.
Gold prices slid as demand for safe-haven assets weakened, with the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) dropping 3.4%—on track for its worst day since June 2024.

OPEC+ To Consider Another Accelerated Oil Output Increase For June

When Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) reports quarterly results Wednesday, it will have plenty to discuss, including tariffs, a new international expansion plan, and strong year-over-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants">quarterly visit growth</a>.
Here are the analyst earnings estimates ahead of the report and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Chipotle to report first-quarter revenue of $2.96 billion. That&#8217;s up from $2.7 billion in last year's first quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
The company has missed analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters. It beat estimates in four of the last six quarters and five of the past 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect Chipotle to report first-quarter earnings per share of 28 cents. That&#8217;s up from 27 cents per share in last year's first quarter. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in the fourth quarter. It beat estimates in five of the past six quarters and seven of the past 10 quarters.

What Analysts Are Saying: Challenging weather and traffic trends could hurt Chipotle's first quarter and guidance, Guggenheim analyst Gregory Francfort said in a new investor note.
The analyst maintained a Neutral rating on Chipotle while lowering the price target from $56 to $48.
"We think the company will likely cut SSS guidance to flat to positive LSD for the year," Francfort said.
The analyst said Chipotle previously gave a cautious sales outlook for the first half 2025.
"We do not think management could have envisioned sales to be as soft as credit card data has suggested so far this year."
The analyst said Chipotle needs to outline its international growth plan to help with a high stock valuation.
Francfort also said tariffs could impact the restaurant sector with consumers looking to cut spending somewhere.
"We think that downside to consensus has driven share price underperformance but also view the brand as one of the highest quality growth businesses that we cover."
Several other analysts have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CMG/analyst-ratings"> cut their price targets</a> on Chipotle ahead of the quarterly financial results, including the following:
<ul>
<li>Barclays: Maintained Equal-weight rating, lowered price target from $60 to $56</li>
<li>Truist: Maintained Buy rating, lowered price target from $74 to $61</li>
<li>Wells Fargo: Maintained Overweight rating, lowered price target from $70 to $60</li>
<li>UBS: Maintained Buy rating, lowered price target from $70 to $65</li>
<li>KeyBanc Capital Markets: Maintained Overweight rating, lowered price target from $64 to $60</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: Data from <a href="https://www.placer.ai/anchor/articles/mcdonalds-chipotle-in-the-new-year-q1-recap">Placer.ai</a> may not agree with Francfort. The report said Chipotle saw first-quarter year-over-year traffic growth of 4.5%. It significantly outperformed the overall fast-casual sector (-4.2% year-over-year). Chipotle also rolled out its Honey Chicken option in March, which could boost first-quarter comp sales.
Chipotle<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44897010/chipotle-to-open-first-mexico-restaurant-by-2026"> recently announced </a>it would enter Mexico as the company's seventh international market. The new stores in Mexico will begin in 2026 with a partnership with restaurant company Alsea.
Chipotle began expanding internationally in 2023, but currently has a limited presence outside the U.S. The company has over 3,700 units worldwide with a long-term goal of 7,000 locations in the U.S. and Canada. It may also provide investors and analysts with an update on its expansion in Mexico.
One area to watch in the quarterly results will likely be new store openings, with the potential that the macroeconomic conditions will have the restaurant company scale back on new store opening guidance. The company previously said it expected to open between 315 and 345 new restaurants in 2025.
Another area to watch will be the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/03/44097795/chipotle-ready-to-eat-tariff-costs-wont-charge-customers-more-we-dont-think-its-fair-to-the-consumer"> impact of tariffs </a>on food and other costs, with Chipotle previously saying it didn't plan on passing on higher costs on items like avocados to consumers.
"It is our intent as we sit here today to absorb those costs," Chipotle CEO Scott Boatwright previously said. He said the tariffs could be a "significant headwind" for the company and pricing changes could come in the long run.
Without passing the costs on to the consumers, Chipotle could see higher costs and its margins impacted, which could be factored into future guidance. 
As a public company, Chipotle faces the tough task of appealing to both investors and consumers. While the move to eat the costs at the restaurant level will be praised by consumers, investors may not share that sentiment. The question will be if they can gain additional customers who appreciate the move or take share from other restaurants that put surcharges on items.
Price Action: Chipotle stock was up 1.2% to $47.09 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $44.46 to $69.26. Chipotle stock is down 21.4% year-to-date in 2025.

White House Would Look At Lowering Tariffs On Chinese Imports Pending Talks With Beijing; Any Steps Would Be In Conjunction With China Talks, Not Unilateral

The European Union imposed a total of $800 million in fines on Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) on Wednesday in the first enforcement actions under the bloc's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44819970/mark-zuckerberg-pushes-trump-to-respond-aggressively-as-eu-threatens-metas-ad-revenue-a-big-tech-showdown">Digital Markets Act. </a>
The Details: Apple was fined approximately $570 million for restricting app developers from informing users about alternative sales or promotions outside the App Store and for limiting access to competing app stores on Apple devices.&nbsp;

Meta was penalized approximately $230 million for enforcing a &#8220;consent or pay&#8221; model on Facebook and Instagram which requires users to either agree to the use of their personal data for targeted advertising or pay for ad-free versions.&nbsp;
Background: The Digital Markets Act targets "gatekeepers" in the digital economy, requiring them to allow more competition and provide users and businesses with more choices. Violations can result in fines of up to 10% of a company's global revenue, with even higher penalties for repeat offenses. 
The fines imposed on Meta and Apple are less than the maximum possible under the DMA, which could have reached into the billions for each company.&nbsp;
In late March, the Financial Times reported that the EU <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44534573/eu-to-issue-minimal-fines-to-apple-and-meta-to-avoid-retaliation-from-trump-administration">was planning</a> to enforce "minimal" fines on Apple and Meta in order to avoid escalating tensions between its member states and the U.S. The Trump administration released a memo in February stating it would consider retaliation if American tech companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43917713/us-lawmakers-demand-eu-clarify-big-tech-regulations-that-may-target-american-companies">were targeted </a>under the Digital Markets Act or the Digital Services Act. 
What's Next: Both Apple and Meta have 60 days to comply with the EU's rulings and adjust their business practices or face additional periodic penalty payments.&nbsp;
