Leading coal stocks rallied on Tuesday amidst a broader market decline after President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at &#8220;reinvigorating America's beautiful clean coal industry&#8221; according to a White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-reinvigorates-americas-beautiful-clean-coal-industry/">fact sheet</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Trump signed an executive order that directed the Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council to designate coal as a &#8216;mineral&#8217; and accrue it with all the benefits that come with it.
The order ends the Jewell Moratorium that paused coal leasing on federal lands, while also directing relevant agencies to identify coal resources on federal lands, lifting red tape, barriers to mining, and prioritizing the industry. This is in sharp contrast to the prior administration, as Trump declared an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">end to the &#8220;war on beautiful, clean coal.&#8221;</a>
Leading coal producers, Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>), Warrior Met Coal Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCC#NYSE">HCC</a>), Core Natural Resources Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNR#NYSE">CNR</a>), and Alliance Resource Partners LP (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARLP#NASDAQ">ARLP</a>), all rallied following the news, helping marginally offset the steep year-to-date declines in the sector.

Why It Matters: According to Goldman Sachs, AI data centers can increase global power demand by 165% by the end of this decade.
However, Timothy Fox of Washington-based research firm Clearview Energy Partners says that coal has been in decline for years, and not due to carbon rules and regulations, but the availability of cheaper sources of energy, reported the Mining Weekly, a South African trade magazine.
He further notes that the demise of coal has been on the cards for years, since &#8220;Power-plant owners, operators and developers don't think of investments in terms of administrations — they think 10, 15, 20 years down the&nbsp;road.&#8221;

Peabody Energy, Core Natural Spike In Rally Stoked By Trump's Executive Order Ending 'War On Beautiful, Clean Coal'

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NASDAQ">BABA</a>) shares have plummeted 32.50% since mid-March as escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China threaten to derail the e-commerce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44699424/alibaba-shares-drop-over-5-amid-escalating-us-china-tariff-tensions-whats-going-on">giant&#8217;s international business model</a>.
What Happened: Speaking at CNBC&#8217;s Converge Live event in Singapore, Alibaba Chairman Joe Tsai <a href="https://youtu.be/iWGZNo-_f5A?feature=shared">addressed</a> the company&#8217;s strategic direction while acknowledging concerns about the tariff dispute.
&#8220;Obviously everybody is concerned about tariffs because if you&#8217;re involved in the business of global trade&#8230; we actually are involved in two-way trade,&#8221; Tsai said, noting that Alibaba annually sells &#8220;$50 billion worth of American products to Chinese consumers and $30 billion worth of European products.&#8221;
The sell-off intensified Tuesday with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44699424/alibaba-shares-drop-over-5-amid-escalating-us-china-tariff-tensions-whats-going-on">BABA shares falling over 6.24%</a> after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent characterized China&#8217;s tariff threats as a &#8220;strategic mistake.&#8221; President Donald Trump has threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on Chinese imports if Beijing doesn&#8217;t roll back retaliatory duties.
By Tuesday evening, S&amp;P 500 futures had fallen 1.76% as markets braced for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44704005/trumps-104-tariff-on-chinese-imports-sends-stock-futures-plunging-dow-falls-over-500-points">Trump&#8217;s 104% tariff on Chinese imports</a> set to take effect Wednesday.

Why It Matters: Tsai, who returned as Alibaba&#8217;s chairman in May 2023, has been working to streamline the company amid intense <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/02/43888574/alibabas-ai-expansion-e-commerce-growth-reinforce-bullish-analyst-outlook">competition in China&#8217;s e-commerce sector</a>. &#8220;We have to exist as a fast-moving startup&#8230; large companies move very slow and it&#8217;s because the decision structure is too complicated,&#8221; he explained.
The e-commerce giant is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/04/44665469/chinas-deepseek-teams-up-with-tsinghua-university-to-raise-ai-bar-boost-reasoning-capabilities">betting heavily on artificial intelligence</a>, with Tsai announcing plans to invest $50 billion in computing infrastructure and AI over the next three years.
Despite current market turbulence, Tsai maintained an optimistic outlook on eventual resolution of trade disputes: &#8220;I&#8217;m pretty half glass full&#8230; eventually the tariffs being a negotiating tool maybe, but at some point things will sort of get better.&#8221;
Since reaching a high of $147.22 on Mar. 17, Alibaba stock has declined to $99.37, representing a 32.50% loss amid continuing concerns about protracted trade conflicts.

What Happened: Bitcoin rose to $80,000 in the early trading hours but reversed course later, plunging below $76,000 overnight.
Ethereum's short-lived rally also fizzled out, as the second-largest cryptocurrency dipped to an intraday low of $1,427.05.
Bitcoin's dominance grew further to 62.7%, while Ethereum's market share shrank to 7.2%, less than half of what it was a year ago.
The slump triggered a liquidation of $271 million in long positions. That said, over $950 million in shorts for the BTC/USDT pair on Binance risk liquidation if Bitcoin rebounds to $80,000.
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest decreased 2.08% in the last 24 hours and more than 16% from its late March highs when the apex cryptocurrency surpassed $87,000.
Moreover, Bitcoin's Long/Short ratio fell sharply in the last 24 hours, suggesting that the majority of the traders were betting on BTC's price decline
The prevailing market sentiment was one of "Extreme Fear," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.48 trillion, following a drop of 0.11% in the last 24 hours.
The stock rebound lost steam following President Donald Trump's imposition of a 104% tariff on China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 320.01 points, or 0.84%, to end at 37,645.59. The S&amp;P 500 slid 1.57%, ending at 4,982.77. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite tanked 2.15% to close at 15,267.91.
The reversal followed the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44698697/markets-reverse-gains-as-trumps-104-china-tariff-announcement-rattles-wall-street">White House&#8217;s confirmation</a> that Trump&#8217;s retaliatory 104% tariff on Chinese imports would be effective after midnight.

Analyst Notes: In a note shared with Benzinga, analysts at cryptocurrency payment company B2BINPAY said, "Tariff policy that recently came into action significantly impacted global markets, and this is the reason why Bitcoin has fallen below the $81,500–82,000 level, which was crucial for maintaining its past momentum."
That said, assertions such as the one by JPMorgan analysts that Bitcoin's "digital gold" narrative <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44627407/gold-overtaking-bitcoin-in-inflation-hedge-strategy-jpmorgan-says">was in danger</a> haven't positively influenced gold's price, B2BINPAY said, as even the yellow metal has retreated from its highs.
Popular on-chain analytics firm Santiment drew attention to the "opportunity zones" for altcoins.
"As tariffs have wreaked havoc on the crypto sector, the MVRV Divergence model shows that assets have racked up heavy enough realized losses to justify dip buys," Santiment stated. "If and when a global tariff solution is reached, it would undoubtedly trigger a very rapid cryptocurrency recovery."

Many users stressed the basics: cut back, spend less, and prioritize essentials.

One user put it frankly: &#8220;Buy cheaper booze. Eat cheaper food. Hope economies recover soon,&#8221; while someone suggested, &#8220;Save every dime and don&#8217;t put anything back into the economy. Let it hit rock bottom like in 2007 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44599968/susan-crawford-defeats-elon-musk-backed-rival-in-wisconsin-supreme-court-race-after-billionaires-1-million-voter-giveaway-gamble">Democrats will win big</a> like Obama did.&#8221;

Some pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/greatest-opportunity-expect-recession">recessions can be a buying opportunity</a>—but only if you already have money.
&#8220;Use your $20M in cash and property equity to buy stocks and real estate that are on fire sale,&#8221; one reply joked. &#8220;That&#8217;s what the rich do so you should too.&#8221;
Another echoed that sentiment: &#8220;Put everything you can into the market, hold, get rich, retire early.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Humor, Politics, and Raw Honesty</h2>
As you&#8217;d expect on Twitter, not everyone kept it serious. Some leaned into gallows humor. One user simply said, &#8220;Suffer, but in 4K HD.&#8221; Another joked, &#8220;Well, like the song says: &#8216;watch your life slide out of view, and then dance, and drink, and screw, because there&#8217;s nothing else to do.'&#8221;&nbsp;
One person summed it up with, &#8220;Try not to be depressed to the point where you want to off yourself!&#8221;
Others brought in politics. &#8220;Curse out this stupid administration every day and vote blue from POTUS down to the City planners.&#8221; Others blamed Democrats for &#8220;changing the definition&#8221; of a recession.
A few posts got extra real. &#8220;If you have to ask, then you aren't being touched by it.

When A 22-Year-Old Asked 'What Do We Do During A Recession Exactly?' Twitter Responded With Humor, Harsh Truths, And Survival Tactics

Stock futures tumbled on Tuesday evening as markets braced for President Donald Trump&#8216;s 104% tariff on Chinese imports taking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44698697/markets-reverse-gains-as-trumps-104-china-tariff-announcement-rattles-wall-street">effect at 12:01 a.m. ET Wednesday</a>, erasing a brief relief rally and sending major indexes to significant lows.
What Happened: S&amp;P 500 futures fell 88.25 points or 1.76% to 4,932, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 581 points or 1.53% to 37,281, and Nasdaq-100 futures saw the steepest decline, plunging 394 points or 2.29% to 16,849.
The sell-off followed Tuesday&#8217;s volatile session, where the S&amp;P 500 tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) erased a 3.7% intraday gain to close down 1.57% at 4,892, hitting a one-year low. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.95% to 17,104 after climbing 4.1% earlier in the day.
&#8220;China made a mistake by retaliating, and the president is punching back harder,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday, confirming no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">delays or exemptions to the tariffs</a>.

Trump's 104% Tariff On Chinese Imports Sends Stock Futures Plunging — Dow Falls Over 500 Points

Elizabeth Warren urged Congress to take decisive action to avert an economic downturn. Taking to X on Tuesday, she emphasized the need for bipartisan cooperation to stabilize the economy.
What Happened: Warren highlighted the lingering effects of the 2008 financial crisis on families and communities. She stressed that Congress has the capability to prevent a similar situation from occurring.

Warren called on a few Republican members to resist pressure from President Donald Trump and prioritize the welfare of the American people. Her comments come amid growing concerns about potential economic instability.
She wrote, &#8220;We need a handful of Republicans to not bend a knee to Trump and instead stand up for the American people.&#8221;

Why It Matters: At least a dozen House Republicans are considering backing Rep. Don Bacon&#8217;s (R-Neb.) bill to limit the president&#8217;s power to impose tariffs without congressional approval — a rare break from Trump, who has vowed to veto it. The bill would require congressional approval for tariffs to last beyond 40 days and has bipartisan support in both chambers, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/04/08/house-republicans-tariff-bill-trump-don-bacon">reported</a> Axios.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Warren has criticized Trump&#8217;s economic policies. Earlier, Warren publicly condemned Trump&#8217;s tariff strategy, which she claims has caused market turmoil and affected retirement accounts. In a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44679410/elizabeth-warren-urges-gop-to-grow-a-spine-as-trumps-tariff-push-sends-markets-tumbling">previous statement</a>, she urged Republicans to prioritize the American public over allegiance to Trump, highlighting the immediate need for a resolution to halt the economic chaos.

The retaliatory tariffs were seen as severe and sent markets across the world into turmoil. Trillions of dollars worth of wealth evaporated in the aftermath of the announcement.
On Tuesday, major indexes extended their slide, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing down 0.8% at 37,645.59 and the S&amp;P 500 falling nearly 1.6% to 4,982.77. The tech-heavy Nasdaq posted the sharpest drop, tumbling 2.1% to 15,267.91.

Elizabeth Warren Says Congress Has 'Power To Pull Our Economy Back' From The Brink As Don Bacon Moves To Limit Trump's Tariff Power: 'Need A Handful Of Republicans Not To Bend A Knee'

Bitcoin took a sharp dive to $81,000 after hitting highs of $88,000 during President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcement. The market initially reacted positively to the news of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, as it was lower than many had anticipated. However, just minutes later, Trump revealed additional higher tariffs on specific countries, causing markets—including Bitcoin—to reverse sharply.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's "Liberation Day" Tariffs Shake Markets</h2>
Trump on Wednesday announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs, branding the move as "Liberation Day." The policy imposes a 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the U.S., but many nations will face significantly higher rates based on how they tax U.S. goods.
For instance:
<ul>
<li>China will face a 34% tariff under the new policy.</li>
<li>Vietnam (46%), Taiwan (32%), Switzerland (31%), and India (26%) will all see much higher import duties.</li>
<li>Some of the steepest tariffs are hitting Cambodia (49%), Bangladesh (37%), and South Africa (30%).</li>
</ul>
Trump justified the move as a way to erase America's trade deficit and protect U.S. manufacturers. However, economists warn that the policy could lead to inflation and a global trade war, as other nations are likely to retaliate with tariffs on American goods. Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi cautioned that extended tariffs could push both the U.S. and its trading partners into recessions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin's Reaction: From Relief to Sell-Off</h2>
When Trump first announced the 10% across-the-board tariff, markets breathed a sigh of relief, as many expected harsher measures. This initial reaction pushed Bitcoin to $88,000. However, as Trump unveiled additional tariffs with higher rates on major trade partners, concerns over inflation and economic uncertainty sent risk assets tumbling—dragging Bitcoin down to $81,000.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Potential Bitcoin Reversal</h2>

On Friday, Bitcoin closed in the green, while U.S. stock indices experienced one of their worst days since 2020.

As seen on the chart below, Bitcoin has held up relatively well despite the high volatility of the past two weeks.
The bull case on the chart for Bitcoin is that the &#8220;divergence&#8221; continues to hold, meaning Bitcoin does not make a lower low below $76,560.
Within the next few weeks, as volatility eases, it should become clear whether Bitcoin is poised for a new run back up toward key upside price levels.

It&#8217;s important to remember that just because a market shows strength doesn&#8217;t mean it will move higher.
If U.S. equities continue to decline, Bitcoin will likely follow that trend, though its percentage drop may be smaller compared to previous instances.
The key data points to monitor for a potential Bitcoin reversal to the upside include its relative strength compared to the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44632021/bitcoins-first-real-test-in-an-uncertain-economy-key-levels-to-watch-amid-tariff-pressures">technical price levels mentioned</a>—one being the major swing low of $76,560—and Bitcoin&#8217;s reaction if the overall markets experience a short-term bounce.

Bitcoin Falls to $81K After Trump's Tariffs—Is a Violent Reversal Coming?

Dave Portnoy, the outspoken founder of Barstool Sports, <a href="https://x.com/stoolpresidente/status/1907812997105373364">posted</a> a simple question on X&nbsp; last week that hit a nerve in the crypto world: &#8220;If the point of Bitcoin is to be independent of the U.S. Dollar and nonregulated, why does it basically trade exactly like the U.S. stock market nowadays?&#8221;

That one line summed up what a lot of casual investors have been wondering, especially as Bitcoin and crypto stocks took a dive following President Donald Trump's new round of tariffs on Wednesday.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin Drops After Tariff News</h2>
Bitcoin had been hovering near $88,000 before Trump&#8217;s announcement. Not long after the tariff policy was unveiled, it slipped below $83,000. It wasn&#8217;t alone. Stocks tanked in after-hours trading, with tech-heavy ETFs like Invesco QQQ (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) falling 4%.
Crypto-linked stocks also followed the same trend. MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) dropped 7%, Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) fell 6%, and Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) lost 9%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Does Bitcoin Move With Stocks?</h2>
Plenty of people chimed in to answer Portnoy's question. Some pointed to institutional involvement, others blamed emotions, and a few leaned on technical analysis.
&#8220;Bitcoin trades like a risk asset short term because it&#8217;s the most liquid, salable, 24/7 asset on Earth,&#8221; said MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. &#8220;In times of panic, traders sell what they can, not what they want to.&#8221;

And then there&#8217;s plain logic. &#8220;If you needed to pay rent what are you selling first? Apple stock or your crypto bags?&#8221; one user wrote.
Another replied, &#8220;Boom. When you realize big money has already hijacked bitcoin and it's no different than the stock market anymore.&#8221;
Others got sarcastic: &#8220;Day 1 of the bear market: Portnoy discovers what correlation means.&#8221; And: &#8220;It used to be a currency before it was hijacked and turned into a collectible.&#8221; Prominent analyst Benjamin Cowen also piled on, saying, &#8220;How can you be your age and write something like that?&#8221;
Some users defended Bitcoin&#8217;s original intent. &#8220;Traders are the froth. Hodlers are the floor,&#8221; one said. Another added, &#8220;Bitcoin is the best-performing asset over the last 15 years.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs, Inflation, and Market Fear</h2>
This latest Bitcoin drop didn&#8217;t come out of nowhere. Wall Street was already reeling from inflation data and weak consumer sentiment. On Friday, a few days before &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; The Dow Jones Industrial Average <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44626208/crypto-market-update-as-wall-street-sells-off-is-bitcoin-showing-strength-for-the-weeks-ahead">fell over 700 points</a>, the S&amp;P 500 slid 2%, and the Nasdaq (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDAQ#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) lost nearly 3%.
Then came Trump's tariff announcement, renewing trade war fears. The Atlanta Fed&#8217;s GDPNow <a href="https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow">forecast</a> now shows a 2.8% GDP decline for Q1, up from -3.7% on April 1.
While Bitcoin has shown some resilience compared to stocks, it's still moving in the same direction when fear hits.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could Bitcoin Break Away?</h2>
Some still believe in one of Bitcoin's original promises: a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44628685/bitcoin-is-a-realistic-global-reserve-asset-experts-say">decentralized hedge against economic chaos</a>. But for now, most agree that Bitcoin is still a risk-on asset, and it trades like one.&nbsp;
As Portnoy pointed out, it looks more and more like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44631522/bitcoin-as-trump-tariff-safe-haven-not-yet-but-might-decouple-over-time-expert-says">just another part of the system</a> it was meant to replace—&#8221;Market up, bitcoin up. Market down, bitcoin down.&#8221; Or, as Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki, <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1907928295104196974">said</a>, &#8220;BTC price movements are related to sentiment. Risk on, up. Risk off, down.&#8221;

In fact, it took one simple piece of advice, delivered courtside and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44634785/magic-johnson-is-worth-billions-but-he-says-you-cant-get-there-thinking-only-about-yourself">straight from Magic Johnson</a>, to flip the script.
"When I first got to L.A., [Johnson] said, ‘Shaq, it's okay to be famous and all that, but at some point, you want to start owning things,'" O'Neal told Daymond John of "Shark Tank" during the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/z5ZjtU70Oms?si=YLaMqmxBx7AmalRK">2020 Black Entrepreneurs Day event</a>.
That wasn't just locker room wisdom — it was a turning point.&nbsp;

Shaq, who famously torched his first million-dollar check on flashy cars and jewelry, admits he didn't know the first thing about taxes, saving, or investing when he was drafted. Even after signing a $40 million deal with the Orlando Magic, the financial lightbulb hadn't gone off. That came later — with Magic.
And let's talk about that Magic.
In 2023, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/magic-johnson/">Forbes officially named Johnson a billionaire</a>, making him just the fourth athlete in history to earn the title, alongside Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and LeBron James. But Johnson didn't get there by clinging to basketball contracts. He made his name in the business world — buying into Starbucks before most athletes were thinking about branding, and later owning major stakes in the Dodgers, Sparks, Los Angeles FC, and the Washington Commanders.
Shaq saw all that in real time. The glitz of NBA stardom was great — but what Johnson had? That was different. That was long-term.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.

After retiring in 2011, he didn't just license his name — he built an empire. Today, he's got stakes in everything from Papa John's to car washes to fitness centers, and he claims to earn more annually in retirement than he ever did as a player. He even went back to school, picking up an MBA and later a doctorate in education, all while absorbing lessons from real business owners, TV investors, and yes, still watching "Shark Tank" for good measure.
"I'm still learning now," Shaq told John. "I watch ‘Shark Tank' and I learn from you guys. I love to ask questions."
For anyone who still thinks being an athlete and being an entrepreneur live in separate arenas, Magic and Shaq have been proving them wrong for decades. One gave the advice. The other turned it into action.
Being famous pays. But owning things? That's what builds empires.

Shaq Says Billionaire Magic Johnson Gave Him the 'Best' Money Advice — Being Famous Is Cool, 'But at Some Point, You Want to Start Owning Things'

BofA Securities analysts Bryan D. Spillane, Lisa K. Lewandowski and Peter T. Galbo have put forward on Tuesday their research findings on consumer staple companies in the face of a potential recession.
The analysts said consumer staples have historically outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in most recent recessions, suggesting a defensive edge.
However, the analysts warned that current conditions, such as lingering high prices and weak volume growth, may limit their resilience in a future downturn.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44695622/amazon-touts-ai-milestone-says-new-model-outshines-gpt-4o-in-real-time-speech" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon Touts AI Milestone, Says New Model Outshines GPT-4o In Real-Time Speech</a>
Still, their limited exposure to new tariffs could make the sector more appealing than others, potentially helping sustain valuation multiples.
During recessions, the Consumer Staples sector stock prices are primarily influenced by earnings per share (EPS) rather than sales growth.
Analysis shows that forward EPS estimates account for over 90% of stock price movement across key subsectors like Beverages, Household &amp; Personal Care (HPC), Packaged Food, and Tobacco, with the correlation being the tightest Beverages and HPC.
The analysts noted that this highlights the critical importance of earnings strength when evaluating stock performance in uncertain economic conditions.
A review of six past recessions reveals that certain Consumer Staples stocks consistently outperformed the S&amp;P 500.
Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NYSE">CPB</a>), Colgate-Palmolive Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CL#NYSE">CL</a>), General Mills Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>), McCormick &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKC#NYSE">MKC</a>), PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), and Hormel Foods Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRL#NYSE">HRL</a>) each posted a 100% success rate in outperforming the index during those downturns.
In the last four recessions with the most comprehensive data, McCormick, General Mills, and Church &amp; Dwight Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHD#NYSE">CHD</a>) delivered the strongest relative performance.
Top-performing Consumer Staples stocks in a potential downturn will likely share three traits: profit flexibility to offset revenue pressure and rising costs, strong U.S. manufacturing presence to limit tariff-related inflation, and solid balance sheets capable of sustaining share buybacks to boost earnings per share.
Analysts see McCormick, Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) and Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) as well-defended, with Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) in the next tier of potential outperformers.

This Beverage Maker, Tobacco Company And Packaged Food Giant Outshine In A Recession

President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff announcements led to a sell-off in the stock market and prompted investors to move to safer assets such as Treasury bonds. The 10-year Treasury yield declined and the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped from 6.75% to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44695176/president-trump-is-fixing-america-grant-cardone-says-wants-you-to-invest-in-real-estate-invest-in-america"> 6.55% last week. </a>
Mortgage Rates: Despite the initial drop, mortgage rates rebounded as Treasury yields ticked back up. On Monday, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage surged to 6.82%, marking the largest single-day increase of the year.&nbsp;
The current rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage sits at 6.85%, <a href="https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/markets/mortgage-rates-04082025">according</a> to Mortgage News Daily.&nbsp;

Home Sales: Pending home sales ticked higher in early April with 72,000 newly pending single-family home sales and 15,000 condo transactions last week — the highest weekly volume since late April 2024, <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics">according</a> to the National Association of Realtors. 
"Despite the modest monthly increase, contract signings remain well below normal historical levels," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.&nbsp;
"A meaningful decline in mortgage rates would help both demand and supply — demand by boosting affordability and supply by lessening the power of the mortgage rate lock-in effect."
Buyer Demand: Recent mortgage rate stability encouraged buyers, with purchase applications reaching their highest growth rate since late 2023 in early April. However, Trump's new tariff policies and China's retaliation have reintroduced uncertainty and volatility to the stock market and mortgage rates. 
"The spring housing season is beginning with more sellers and a growing number of homes for sale," said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com.
"But the high cost of buying coupled with growing economic concerns suggest a sluggish response from buyers in early spring," Hale added.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Inventory and Pricing Trends</h1>
<ul>
<li>Inventory Growth: Unsold inventory now stands at 691,000 single-family homes, 34.75% above 2024 levels, though Northeastern markets remain tight, <a href="https://blog.altosresearch.com/weekly-pending-home-sales-are-finally-above-last-year">according</a> to Altos Research.</li>
<li>Price Pressures: Median pending sale prices reached $397,500, just 0.25% higher than 2024. Eight states — including Texas, Florida, and Arizona — show slight year-over-year declines, signaling localized cooling.</li>
<li>Price Reductions: The number of homes on the market with price reductions ticked up in the first week of April to 34.3%. </li>

프로마 그룹(Proma Group)가 독일의 레카로 오토모티브 GmbH를 <a href="https://www.promagroup.com/archive/news/68" target="_blank" rel="noopener">인수함</a>으로써 회사를 파산에서 탈출시키고 2025년 1월부터 유럽 전역에서 운영을 재개할 수 있게 되었다. 레카로의 애프터마켓 시트는 1월에 다시 시장에 출시될 예정이며, OEM 생산은 프로마가 본사인 이탈리아로 이전된다. 레카로의 영업 및 기술 부서의 몇몇 직원은 원활한 전환 및 고객 지원을 보장하기 위해 슈투트가르트 지역에 남아 있다. 레카로의 북미 및 일본 운영은 영향을 받지 않는다. 프로마 그룹의 CEO인 루카 피노(Luca Pino)는 이 파트너십을 독일 산업 및 이탈리아 제조 우수성의 조합으로 칭찬했다.

S&amp;P 글로벌에 따르면, 미국과 캐나다의 M&amp;A 활동이 2023년과 비교하여 둔화되었다.
<ul>
<li>3분기에 발표된 미국과 캐나다의 거래 수는 4,153건으로, 전분기 대비 4.3% 감소했지만, 2023년 3분기와 비교하면 2% 증가했다.</li>
<li>총 거래 가치는 3,659억 9,000만 달러로, 2분기 3,016억 2,000만 달러 및 작년 같은 기간 2,827억 7,000만 달러에서 증가했다.</li>
<li>2024년 첫 9개월 동안 미국과 캐나다에서 12,680건의 M&amp;A 거래가 발생했다. 이는 2023년 같은 기간에 비해 13,203건보다 적다.</li>
<li>2024년 1~3분기 M&amp;A 거래 가치는 약 1조 5억 달러로, 2023년 3개월 동안 8,383억 2,000만 달러에서 증가했다.</li>
</ul>
S&amp;P 글로벌 마켓 인텔리전스에서 분기별 M&amp;A 보고서를 작성하는 조 만토네(Joe Mantone)는 다음과 같이 말했다:
BZ: 최근 거래 데이터에서 놀라운 점이 있었나?
Mantone: 거래 수가 전분기 대비 감소한 것은 계절적 경향을 고려할 때 그리 놀랍지 않다. 거래는 여름철 3분기 동안 느려지는 경향이 있다. 전년 대비 거래 증가가 M&amp;A가 회복되고 있다는 약간의 증거를 제공한다. 그러나 활동 수준은 여전히 역사적 기준에 미치지 못하며, 미국과 캐나다에서 발표된 거래 수는 지난 6개 분기 동안 크게 변동하지 않았다.
BZ: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">금리</a> 변동으로 4분기가 강하게 마무리될 것으로 예상하나?
금리가 낮아지면 M&amp;A에 더 유리한 환경을 조성하고, 발표된 거래 수가 현재 수준을 넘어설 수 있도록 도와준다. 특정 분기의 활동을 예측하기는 어렵지만, 금리가 낮아지는 것이 M&amp;A의 촉매제가 될 것이라고 생각한다. 특히 2025년으로 넘어가면서 사모펀드와 관련된 거래에 그렇다. 사모펀드 회사들은 충분한 자금을 보유하고 있으며, 낮은 금리는 인수 자금 조달 비용을 낮추어 매수 측의 레버리지 사용에 유리하다. 저렴한 부채를 이용할 수 있는 구매자는 일반적으로 가치 평가를 높여 사모펀드가 포트폴리오 회사를 매각하는 거래가 더 많아지게 한다.
BZ: 선거일 이후 딜메이커들이 어떤 반응을 보일 것으로 예상하는지?
총 거래 가치 측면에서 4분기는 2023년 4분기에 일부 대형 거래가 있었기 때문에 전년 대비 비교가 어려운 상황이다. 선거를 앞두고 큰 거래에 대한 일시 중지가 있을 수 있지만, 딜메이커가 결과에 따라 전략적 계획을 완전히 변경할 것이라고는 의심하지 않는다.

비트 디지털(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTBT#NASDAQ">BTBT</a>)가 월요일 시장 마감 후 2분기 재무 결과를 발표했다. 이 발표 후 애프터마켓에서 주가가 10% 이상 상승했다. 보고서의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/n40449716/bit-digital-inc-announces-second-quarter-of-fiscal-year-2024-financial-results">자세한 내용</a>은 다음과 같다.
주요 내용: 비트 디지털은 분기별 주당 손실을 9센트로 보고했는데, 이는 애널리스트들의 합의된 주당 손실 추정치인 주당 3센트를 하회한 것이다.
분기별 매출은 2,900만 달러로 분석가의 합의 추정치인 2,609만 달러를 11.16% 상회하고 전년 대비 220.87% 증가했다. 이 회사는 이러한 증가가 주로 고성능 컴퓨팅 서비스(HPC) 사업의 시작과 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ​​실현 가격의 상승에 따른 것이라고 밝혔다.
2024년 2분기 비트코인 ​​채굴 매출은 1,610만 달러로 전년 동기 대비 80% 증가했다.
이 회사는 전년도보다 23% 감소한 244.2개의 비트코인을 벌었다. 이러한 감소는 주로 2024년 4월 반감기 사건 이후 블록 보상 감소와 네트워크 난이도 증가로 인해 발생했다.
비트 디지털은 해당 분기에 기본 스테이킹을 통해 109.4개의 이더리움(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)을 얻었다. 비트코인과 이더리움의 보유량은 각각 585.6개와 27,226.21개였으며, 2024년 6월 30일 기준 공정 시장 가치는 각각 약 3,670만 달러와 9,350만 달러였다.
"2024년 2분기는 비트 디지털의 진화에 있어서 중요한 단계였다. 4월 &#8216;반감기 이벤트&#8217;로 인한 블록 보상 감소에도 불구하고 총 매출은 주로 HPC 서비스 사업의 첫 번째 전체 분기 매출에 힘입어 전년도보다 두 배 이상 증가했다. 우리의 대차대조표는 최근의 시장 변동성을 견디고 성장 자본을 고수익 기회에 배치할 수 있는 핵심 강점으로 남아 있다"고 비트 디지털이 실적 보도 자료에서 말했다.
이 회사는 화요일 미 동부시간 오전 10시에 2분기 결과에 대한 컨퍼런스 콜을 개최할 예정이다.
기타 주요 소식: 비트 디지털은 또한 고성능 컴퓨팅(HPC) 사업의 새로운 고객인 부스터로이드(Boosteroid Inc)와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/n40449717/bit-digital-inc-announces-binding-term-sheet-with-new-hpc-customer-representing-a-more-than-700-mi" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">구속력 있는 계약</a>을 체결했다고 발표했다.
부스터로이드는 서비스 기간이 5년인 GPU 서버의 시작 수량에 대해 초기 구매를 할 예정이며, 이는 5년 동안 비트 디지털에 약 1,300만 달러의 매출을 창출할 것으로 예상된다.
이 회사는 전체 50,000개의 GPU 배포가 배포 계획과 시장 상황에 따라 비트 디지털에 5년 기간 동안 7억 달러가 넘는 총 매출 기회를 의미한다고 밝혔다.
BTBT의 주가 움직임: <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면, 비트 디지털의 주식은 시간외 거래에서 11.04% 상승한 3.32달러를 기록했다.
