As the Nasdaq 100 index is nearly 2% away from its all-time high, analysis suggests that it&#8217;s &#8220;easier to digest&#8221; the index&#8217;s premium valuation given the growth optimism for 2025 and 2026.
What Happened: According to Adam Turnquist, the chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, the Nasdaq 100&#8217;s forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio at 26.6 was above its 10-year average P/E of 22.0.
&#8220;However, a jump in expected operating margins from 18.0% in 2024 to 23.8% in 2025 and 25.6% in 2026 makes the premium valuation easier to digest (along with the AI-themed tailwinds),&#8221; explained Turnquist.
Apart from this, he highlights that the buying pressure on the index was also &#8220;widespread,&#8221; as only eight stocks are lower since the April 8th low, while the average gain for the rest of the index has been about 25% in the same period. 
From a technical perspective, Turnquist suggests that the index&#8217;s &#8220;Momentum remains bullish after the recent reset from overbought levels.&#8221; The Nasdaq 100 has rallied out of a bear market in less than two months.
This recovery was a result of the administration's pivot to delay reciprocal tariffs in April, progress in trade negotiations, and strong tech earnings, which revealed no signs of a slowdown in artificial intelligence demand or related capital expenditure spending.
&#8220;The NDX vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart recently bounced off support and recaptured the 50-/200-dmas. A breakout above the July 2024 highs would indicate a new uptrend is developing, favoring NDX leadership ahead,&#8221; said Turnquist.

While investors stayed fixated on artificial intelligence and the mega-cap tech giants leading the charge over the past five years, a quiet outperformer emerged: a small-cap retailer selling plush toys and kids&#8217; accessories that has outpaced them all.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the founder of AI platform Bearly.AI, Trung Phan, highlighted this performance in a post on X.
The stock in question is Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc., which is known for its make-your-own stuffed animal stores, which have since become a staple in American malls.

A shift in the company&#8217;s business model has sent its shares soaring by 1,648.48% over the past five years, with Nvidia Corp. being a distant second at 1,491%, followed by Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc. at 144.72%, 147.79%, and 135.53%, respectively, over five years.

In his post, Phan notes the dramatic performance gap between the stocks, despite the broader frenzy surrounding AI and digital transformation during this period. 
&#8220;Big Tech this, Big Tech that,&#8221; Phan says, pointing at the market&#8217;s obsession with these stocks, and yet the &#8220;big fluffy animal plush toys (Build-A-Bear)&#8221; managed to outperform big tech.
A few comments on Phan&#8217;s post credit Build-A-Bear&#8217;s rise to a shift in its strategy. According to Bryant Suellentrop, who runs a staffing agency, the company's pivot from marketing primarily to children toward engaging nostalgic adults with disposable income and access to a credit card played a key role in the stock&#8217;s surge.

The lawsuit, which does not name Eminem as a party, claims that Meta's platforms—such as Original Audio and Reels Remix—allow users to use music owned by Eight Mile Style without proper licensing or credit. It also alleges that the songs have appeared in millions of videos and have been streamed billions of times. The music publisher is demanding $150,000 for each of the 243 songs allegedly used on Meta&#8217;s platforms, totaling $109.35 million in damages.
A Meta spokesperson, according to the publication, said the company has been negotiating in good faith with Eight Mile Style and expressed disappointment that the publisher chose to sue rather than continue discussions.
Eight Mile Style is also alleging a &#8220;diminished&nbsp;value of the copyrights by&nbsp;Defendants' theft of them, lost&nbsp;profits, and Defendants' profits attributable&nbsp;to the infringement.&#8221;&nbsp;The company is pursuing financial compensation, including the maximum amount allowed under the law.

Why It Matters: Meta Platforms is currently facing a series of legal challenges. In April, the company was preparing to battle an antitrust lawsuit with the U.S. government&#8217;s antitrust watchdogs, a case that could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44780047/mark-zuckerbergs-empire-in-jeopardy-as-meta-faces-antitrust-battle-in-court">potentially force</a>&nbsp;Zuckerberg to divest Instagram.
Moreover, in May, an Austrian advocacy group, NOYB, issued a &#8220;cease and desist&#8221; letter to Meta, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45406329/austrian-group-questions-metas-legitimate-interest-in-using-eu-data-for-ai-threatens-legal-action-over-200-billion-making-money-is-more-important-than-the-rights-of-its-users">threatening to seek</a> an injunction and&nbsp;potentially leading to billion-euro damages claims&nbsp;over the company&#8217;s plans to use Europeans&#8217; personal data for AI training. 
These legal challenges, combined with the recent copyright infringement lawsuit, add to the mounting legal pressure on Meta Platforms.
Meta holds a momentum rating of 87.91% and a growth rating of 92.78%, according to Benzinga's Proprietary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Edge Rankings</a>. The Benzinga Growth metric evaluates a stock&#8217;s historical earnings and revenue expansion across multiple timeframes, prioritizing both long-term trends and recent performance.
On a year-to-date basis, Meta stock surged 14.8%.

As the market recovers from April lows, the heavyweights are back in action after a brief respite, with the Magnificent 7 stocks leading nearly 55% of the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s market capitalization recovery.
What Happened: &#8220;The Magnificent 7 alone have accounted for nearly 55% of the total market cap gains since April 7th,&#8221; highlighted Otavio Costa, a macro strategist at Crescat Capital, in an X post.

Resharing Costa&#8217;s post, the Kobeissi Letter quoted that &#8220;The market cannot survive without Big Tech.&#8221;
Out of the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s $7.5 trillion market cap gain since April 7, nearly $4 trillion was added by the Magnificent 7 stocks.
&#8220;This means the Magnificent 7 has contributed ~9.1 percentage points to the 16.8% return of the S&amp;P 500 during this period,&#8221; said Kobeissi in its X post.

Former Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer disclosed a previously unknown rift with co-founder Bill Gates that left the tech executives not speaking for an entire year during Ballmer&#8217;s transition to chief executive in 2000-2001.
What Happened: Speaking on the Acquired podcast, Ballmer revealed the communication breakdown occurred from approximately March 2000 to 2001, coinciding with his assumption of the CEO role amid Microsoft&#8217;s antitrust battles and the dot-com crash. 
&#8220;We went through a year where we didn&#8217;t speak,&#8221; Ballmer stated, describing the period as among the company&#8217;s most challenging.
The rift stemmed from unclear power dynamics as Gates transitioned from CEO to Chief Software Architect. When Gates offered Ballmer the CEO position, Ballmer insisted on clarification: &#8220;Do you really want me to be CEO or do you just want me to be a figurehead?&#8221; Gates confirmed he wanted &#8220;a real CEO,&#8221; but both executives struggled with the new reporting structure.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know what it meant to be his boss and he didn&#8217;t know what it meant to work for me,&#8221; Ballmer explained. The former CEO, who had served as Gates&#8217; lieutenant for two decades since joining Microsoft in 1980, found the role reversal particularly challenging.

Why It Matters: The reconciliation came through intervention from their wives, who arranged an &#8220;awkward dinner at a health club&#8221; to repair the relationship. However, Ballmer acknowledged they &#8220;never really got the right mojo&#8221; afterward, with Gates maintaining significant influence over product direction.
During Ballmer&#8217;s 14-year tenure, Microsoft&#8217;s revenue tripled while the stock price remained relatively flat. Ballmer attributed this disconnect to his reluctance to engage with Wall Street analysts and his reputation as a heavy spender on strategic initiatives like Surface and Xbox.
The leadership tensions manifested in major strategic disagreements over hardware initiatives, mobile phones, and the HoloLens project. Ballmer has since maintained his Microsoft stake, with Forbes estimating his net worth grew from $20 billion to $130 billion since departing in 2014.

Steve Ballmer Says He 'Didn't Speak' To Bill Gates For A Year After Becoming Microsoft Chief: Reveals Power Struggle And Rift Over 'Real CEO' Role

President Donald Trump has suspended the entry of foreign nationals seeking to study at Harvard University for an initial six months, escalating an ongoing federal dispute with the Cambridge-based institution. 
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s proclamation cited national security concerns, stating Harvard has &#8220;demonstrated a history of concerning foreign ties and radicalism&#8221; with &#8220;extensive entanglements with foreign adversaries,&#8221; including China, Reuters reported. 
The directive targets international students who comprise roughly 25% of Harvard&#8217;s student body amid broader tensions over alleged Chinese academic ties and national security concerns.
The directive allows extensions beyond six months and instructs the State Department to consider revoking current Harvard students&#8217; academic visas.
The suspension follows Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem&#8216;s May 22 revocation of Harvard&#8217;s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification. A federal judge temporarily blocked the action, prompting the administration to pursue a lengthier administrative process instead.
Harvard called the proclamation &#8220;yet another illegal retaliatory step&#8221; violating First Amendment rights. The university argues the administration is retaliating for Harvard&#8217;s refusal to accept demands for governance control, curriculum changes, and faculty ideology oversight.

Why It Matters: The administration has frozen billions in federal grants and proposed ending Harvard&#8217;s tax-exempt status. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45664141/trump-administration-to-revoke-visas-of-chinese-students-tied-to-ccp-or-critical-fields-tightens-screening">Harvard enrolled</a> nearly 6,800 international students in 2024-2025.
The administration has already revoked over 1,500 student visas across 222 schools, creating institutional uncertainty. Japan&#8217;s Education Minister Toshiko Abe announced that universities would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45663308/japans-education-minister-calls-on-universities-to-take-in-displaced-harvard-students-after-trump-ban-university-of-tokyo-leads-support-effort">welcome displaced Harvard students</a>, including 110 Japanese students currently enrolled.
Trade tensions complicate the situation, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent describing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45685544/scott-bessent-says-us-china-trade-talks-at-stalemate-need-trump-and-xi-jinping-touch-to-break-the-deadlock">U.S.-China negotiations</a> as &#8220;stalled&#8221; and requiring direct involvement from Trump and President Xi Jinping to resolve.
