Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO Jim Farley says that the company experienced a 16% surge in sales in April ahead of May 5's earnings call with investors.
What Happened: "Customers have really responded to our From America, For America offer of employee pricing. Ford sales were up 16% in April." Farley took to the social media platform X to share the update on Thursday.

Farley also shared that the company's pickup truck division, which includes models like the F-150 and the Raptor, had the "best April sales in 25 years."
"Hybrids, Maverick and Bronco all set new records and Lincoln Motor Company had best April since 2007," Farley said in the post, highlighting what appears to be a strong month for the Detroit-based automaker.
Why It Matters: Farley's updates come in as Ford recently announced the company will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45129156/jim-farley-says-ford-will-delay-price-hike-to-see-how-competitors-react-to-tariffs-extends-employee-pricing-through-july">delaying the planned hike</a> in price for its products. The company also extended its employee price program through July.
Ford manufactures over 80% of its vehicles domestically, which could give it an edge in the auto tariff uncertainty over competitors. However, Farley shared that the company was working closely with the Trump administration amid the incumbent's decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45059191/donald-trump-will-reduce-impact-on-us-auto-industry-by-alleviating-some-auto-tarrifs-report">alleviate some duties</a> on the industry.
Ford also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888445/ford-reportedly-halts-vehicle-shipments-to-china-amid-rising-tariffs">halted shipments </a>of its products, like the F-150, Ford Mustang, as well as Bronco SUVs, among others, to China as U.S.-China trade tensions continue to rise and affect supply chains.

Jim Farley Says Ford Sales Grew 16% In April Ahead Of Earnings Call: 'Customers have really responded to our...'

A recent study investigating the real-world impact of generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT indicates that the technology has yet to provide the wide-ranging productivity benefits many touted, and may even be leading to extra work for some workers.
What Happened: Economists from the University of Chicago and the University of Copenhagen examined data from 25,000 Danish workers between 2023 and 2024 across 11 professions seen as liable to automation, like accounting and software development. 
Despite the speedy adoption of AI chatbots in these sectors, the researchers found no significant alterations in wages or hours spent working.

Why It Matters: According to the study, while 64–90% of users saved a little bit of time by implementing AI tools, they were also faced with new responsibilities like checking AI output or monitoring student usage of ChatGPT. 
These news tasks came up for 8.4% of workers, offsetting anticipated efficiency gains. On average, users saved just one hour per week, and only a small portion of that translated into higher pay.
The study comes in the heels of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's disclosure about AI writing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45093643/ai-is-reshaping-coding-at-microsoft-says-nadella-30-of-code-now-ai-generated">up to 30% of the company's code</a>, and President Donald Trump&#8216;s executive order <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/04/45005327/trump-pushes-ai-education-in-schools-rolling-back-obama-era-policies-and-cracking-down-on-foreign-funds-ai-seems-to-be-where-its-at">promoting AI education in schools</a>.
At the same time, it also calls into question the claims made about AI and productivity by tech and business leaders, like Nadella's statements about AI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44066026/satya-nadella-says-ai-agents-will-replace-knowledge-work-but-theres-one-role-humans-will-always-need-to-play">redefining knowledge work</a>, Mark Cuban's view of AI as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44600269/mark-cuban-argues-ais-new-sht-will-drive-growth-not-deflation">"greatest growth and productivity engine ever"</a> and Jamie Dimon's comments about how AI will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43761822/jamie-dimon-says-ai-will-change-your-jobs-but-it-may-eliminate-some-careers-as-well-reskill-and-redeploy-people">"eliminate"</a> some careers.

Earnings Scheduled For May 2, 2025

Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) announced on Thursday it will raise Xbox console prices globally, with U.S. models increasing by up to 27% as the gaming industry grapples with new tariff pressures. The move follows similar price hikes from Sony Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) and production delays from Nintendo Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>).
What Happened: The tech giant&#8217;s entry-level Xbox Series S will jump from $299.99 to $379.99 in the U.S., while the premium Series X Galaxy Black model will now retail for $729.99, up from $599.99 – representing increases of 27% and 22% respectively. Microsoft will also boost prices for new games from its studios to $79.99, up from $69.99.
&#8220;We understand that these changes are challenging, and they were made with careful consideration given market conditions and the rising cost of development,&#8221; Microsoft stated on its website. 
While not explicitly mentioning tariffs, the announcement comes as President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration has imposed 145% duties on numerous Chinese-manufactured products, including gaming hardware.

Why It Matters: The gaming industry faces unprecedented supply chain disruption as major console makers, who primarily manufacture in China, respond to the new economic landscape. Sony raised PlayStation 5 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44787792/sony-raises-ps5-prices-in-some-countries-by-up-to-25-in-anticipation-of-tariffs?utm_source=chatgpt.com">prices by nearly 25%</a> in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand earlier this month, citing inflation and exchange rates. 
Nintendo<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44678084/nintendo-pushes-back-us-preorders-for-switch-2-amid-trump-tariff-impactlaunch-remains-on-track-for-june-things-may-change-in-the-days-ahead?utm_source=chatgpt.com"> delayed U.S. pre-orders</a> for its upcoming Switch 2 console due to tariff concerns. &#8220;We&#8217;re just going to have to actively assess what that impact may be. Things may change in the days ahead,&#8221; said Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo of America, though the June 5 launch date remains unchanged.
Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer warned last week that the escalating tariffs would create <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/44655737/former-microsoft-ceo-steve-ballmer-says-trumps-new-tariffs-could-spark-global-turmoil-hurt-consumers-as-satya-nadella-led-msfts-stock-drops-14-ytd?utm_source=chatgpt.com">&#8220;significant disruption&#8221; </a>across the economy. &#8220;As a Microsoft shareholder, this kind of thing is not good,&#8221; Ballmer said, expressing concern that Trump&#8217;s policies could trigger global economic turmoil and negatively impact consumers and investors alike.

McDonald's Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) is kicking off 2025 with a warning about a growing divide among U.S. consumers, noting a clear split along income lines.
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45135213/mcdonalds-q1-revenue-decline-34-as-war-in-the-middle-east-bites-stock-dips">first quarter earnings</a> call on Thursday, McDonald&#8217;s CEO, Chris Kempczinski&#8217;s opening remarks centered around the declining foot traffic in the quick-service restaurant industry, especially from the low and middle income consumer cohort, both of which are down nearly 10% compared to the prior year quarter. 
However, traffic among high-income consumers remains strong, which Kempczinski said &#8220;illustrates the divided U.S. economy, where low- and middle-income consumers in particular are being weighed down,&#8221; by factors such as inflation and a bleak economic outlook.
During the Q&amp;A session, CFO Ian Borden noted that McDonald's customer base skews toward low- and middle-income consumers, prompting the company to double down on its commitment to &#8220;strong value&#8221; and &#8220;affordability&#8221; across its menu offerings.
Borden adds that this value-focused strategy helped McDonald's outperform its closest competitors on same-store guest counts during the first quarter.

Why It Matters: The company experienced a 3.6% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45135213/mcdonalds-q1-revenue-decline-34-as-war-in-the-middle-east-bites-stock-dips">year-over-year decline</a> in same-store sales during the quarter, which marks its steepest decline since 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, McDonald&#8217;s missed consensus estimates, with $2.67 in earnings per share, from $5.96 billion in revenue.
This coincides with the Consumer Sentiment Index crashing to <a href="https://benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44764554/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-3-year-lows-as-inflation-expectations-spike-to-1981-highs">a three-year low</a> in April, at 50.4, down from 57 in March, with tariffs, inflation expectations, and market reactions taking their toll.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) CEO Andy Jassy <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45158172/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-predicts-pandemic-like-consumer-shifts-says-company-is-maniacally-focused-on-keeping-prices-low">expressed similar concerns</a> during the company's first-quarter earnings call on Thursday, pointing to shifts in consumer behavior reminiscent of the pandemic. &#8220;There's maybe never been a more important time in recent memory than now to try to keep prices low,&#8221; he said.
Price Action: The stock was down 1.88% on Thursday, and is currently down 0.20% after hours following the company&#8217;s earnings release.

McDonald's CEO: 'The US Economy Is Divided' As Wealthy Customers Keep Coming While Regular Families Cut Back

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) CEO Mary Barra says that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on the automotive industry will cost the company over $5 billion, but assures that GM&#8217;s pricing will remain the same.
What Happened: The company expects a tariff exposure of anywhere between &#8220;$4 to $5 billion,&#8221; GM said in a call with investors. However, the company does not expect to pass the costs on to the customer. "We believe …pricing is going to stay at about the same level as it is," Barra said in an interview with CNN on Thursday.

"Pricing changes in our industry at least monthly, and sometimes more frequently. We're going to respond to the market," she said.

The company also lowered its Earnings Per Share or EPS guidance to $8.25 &#8211; $10.00.
However, the Detroit-based automaker isn't the only company that isn't hiking prices for its vehicles. Recently, &nbsp;Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO Jim Farley announced the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45129156/jim-farley-says-ford-will-delay-price-hike-to-see-how-competitors-react-to-tariffs-extends-employee-pricing-through-july">would not hike its prices</a>, but instead would extend the employee pricing program.

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Eaton Expectations Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

Freight Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRGT#NASDAQ">FRGT</a>) has become the first public company to adopt the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin as a treasury reserve asset, as announced on Wednesday.
What Happened: The logistics management firm&nbsp;agreed to the issuance of convertible&nbsp;notes&nbsp;up to $20 million&nbsp;with an institutional investor, according to a press release. The proceeds from this financing will be &#8220;exclusively&#8221; allocated for purchasing TRUMP tokens.
Freight Technologies plans to issue notes amounting to $1 million in the first tranche, with an&nbsp;additional capacity of up to&nbsp;$19 million available in&nbsp;subsequent drawdowns.
&#8220;We believe that the addition of the Official Trump tokens is an excellent way to diversify our crypto treasury and also an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced, and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.,&#8221; said CEO Javier Selgas.

Why It Matters: The decision comes against the backdrop of President Donald Trump&#8217;s new trade policy, as part of which he imposed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43926015/trump-confirms-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-will-take-effect-as-planned">25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada</a> that are not covered under the region&#8217;s U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact. 
Freight Technologies is particularly known for cross-border shipping between the U.S. and Mexico.
Meanwhile, TRUMP has been in the news after the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45027557/trumps-memecoin-dinner-event-sparks-impeachment-call-from-democratic-senator-says-potus-is-selling-access-to-those-who-enrich-him">top holders of the coin were invited to an exclusive dinner</a> with Trump. The news sparked a buying frenzy but also attracted criticism, with one Democratic lawmaker labeling it an impeachable offense
Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $12.50, down 4.73% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The meme coin, launched before Trump&#8217;s presidential inauguration, was down 83% from its all-time highs.
Shares of Freight Technologies were down 3.53% in after-hours trading, after plunging 20% to $0.9848 on Thursday.
