<p>In this current era of whiplash volatility, investors are forced to engage in a daily tug-of-war between the excitement of the next market rally and the fear of another devastating drawdown. </p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">actively managed fund</a>, <strong>TappAlpha SPY Growth &amp; Daily Income ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSPY#NASDAQ">TSPY</a>), is designed to straddle the tightrope between capital protection, income, and growth. </p>
<p>TappAlpha CEO<strong> Si Katara</strong> chatted with Benzinga about having a specific strategy, rather than guessing the stock market.</p>
<p>At its essence, TSPY has dollar-for-dollar exposure to  <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), the well-known S&amp;P 500 ETF that&#8217;s frequently a bedrock of long-term portfolios (and even <strong>Warren Buffett</strong>&#8216;s go-to passive play). But TSPY incorporates a next-gen spin: a daily options overlay designed to create reliable, tax-effective income — even in volatile markets.</p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/05/45153699/new-etf-bets-on-small-companies-to-offer-growth-monthly-income">New ETF Bets On Small Companies To Offer Growth, Monthly Income</a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Middle Path Between FOMO And Fear</strong></h2>
<p>TSPY is somewhat of a middle-ground for investors stuck between fear of missing out and fear of losing everything, </p>
<p>&#8220;We stay fully invested in the S&amp;P 500 every day, while adding a consistent income engine that works in both calm and choppy markets,&#8221; Katara said.</p>
<p>Recent turmoil, such as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44891038/clearly-word-got-out-scott-galloway-says-april-9-will-go-down-as-the-greatest-day-of-insider-trading-in-history">April 9 market shock</a>, has tested those income and risk-management capabilities. Within a mere 10 days of that occasion — when President Donald Trump suddenly paused tariffs for most countries while simultaneously raising them on China — TSPY made its first hedged trade.</p>
<p>Katara insists that the trade was made possible only by the fintech infrastructure they&#8217;d developed behind the scenes.</p>
<p>&#8220;To help manage that kind of risk, we've added tools like credit spreads and protective puts,&#8221; he explained, adding that It&#8217;s not a matter of moving fast, it&#8217;s about moving smartly.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Risk Management Without Handcuffs</strong></h2>
<p>To shield investors from market swings, TSPY employs credit spreads and protective puts — tactical tools used selectively. ". The long call in a credit spread limits how much the fund can give up if the market suddenly spikes. The protective put does the same on the downside — acting like insurance during sharp drops," Katara explains. "These tools help us stay steady in turbulent markets without taking on more risk than we're comfortable with."</p>
<p>This degree of active management, day in and day out — strike choice, signal tracking, minute-by-minute adjustment — is all done on a rules-based, structured platform. &#8220;TSPY is actively managed every single trading day — we're dynamically selecting strikes, monitoring signals, and making adjustments based on data that's presented throughout the trading day,&#8221; he explained.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Trade-Offs And Target Investors</strong></h2>
<p>Sure, there's a trade-off — TSPY caps some upside to fuel its income engine. But for many, it's a fair exchange. "it's about getting more from your core S&amp;P 500 exposure. We hold SPY dollar-for-dollar, just like <strong>Warren Buffett</strong> recommends for long-term investors. </p>
<p>Then we overlay a next-gen daily options strategy using 0DTE calls. This adds meaningful, tax-efficient income and lowers beta — without sacrificing market participation. In certain conditions, it can even help investors keep pace with or potentially outperform the index. The result: a steadier, smarter way to stay fully invested while putting your capital to work every day," Katara noted.</p>
<p>So, who&#8217;s the perfect investor? Katara sums it up: &#8220;Someone who believes in long-term equity growth but wants their capital to work harder every single day. It's a great fit for investors who value tax-efficient income, prefer consistency over big swings, and aren't chasing the stock of the week.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whether investors utilize TSPY as a new foundation holding, a substitute for half of their income sleeve, or merely as the &#8220;SPY with benefits,&#8221; its adaptable design and disciplined approach seek to make it better than another ETF in a sea of competition.</p>
<p>As Katara puts it: &#8220;Some call it their &#8216;AND&#8217; fund — SPY exposure…and tax-efficient income…and lower beta. Others see it as a &#8216;Next Gen SPY,&#8217; built for today's markets. However you frame it, TSPY is designed to flex across a wide range of portfolios.&#8221;</p>

Lattice Semiconductor's Earnings: A Preview

<p><strong>Reddit, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher on Friday.</a></p>
<p>On Thursday, <strong> </strong>Reddit reported first quarter earnings of 13 cents per share, which <a href="https://www.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" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the analyst consensus estimate of two cents</a>. Quarterly revenue of $392.36 million beat the street consensus expectations for $370.01 million and is an increase of revenue of $242.96 million from the same period last year.</p>
<p>Here are the analysts&#8217; takes on the stock:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Needham </strong>analyst Laura Martin reiterated a Buy rating on Reddit, raising the price forecast from $135 to $145.</li>
<li><strong>JP Morgan</strong>&#8216;s Doug Anmuth reiterated a Neutral rating on the stock, raising the target price from $110 to $145.</li>
<li><strong>Citizens</strong>&#8216;s Andrew Boone maintained their Market Outperform rating, increasing the forecast from $155 to $180.</li>
<li><strong>Guggenheim </strong>analyst Michael Morris reiterated a Buy rating, trimming the prediction from $170 to $165.</li>

<p><strong>Needham: </strong>Martin highlighted several positives from Reddit&#8217;s Q1 results, including strong revenue and margin growth, better ad performance with a shift toward full-funnel advertisers, rising daily active users, promising new features like Reddit Search and Answers boosting engagement, solid free cash flow, and AI-driven language tools expected to support international user growth in FY25.</p>
<p>The analyst raised the firm&#8217;s FY25 revenue estimate from $1.722 billion to $1.795 billion.</p>
<p><strong>JP Morgan:</strong> The analyst projects Reddit to maintain strong revenue growth and improve profitability as it expands its ad offerings and targets a 40% long-term adjusted EBITDA margin.</p>
<p>While recent estimate upgrades reflect renewed confidence after earlier recession-related cuts, the analyst cautions that uncertainty around changes in Google&#8217;s search ecosystem remains a long-term risk. Projected average growth for 2025 and 2026 stands at 12% for revenue, 33% for adjusted EBITDA, and 34% for free cash flow, which the analyst believes justifies Reddit's premium valuation.</p>
<p><strong>Citizens: </strong>Boone writes that Reddit is largely insulated from tariff-related risks due to its limited reliance on retail ad spending and relatively modest ad revenue in 2023.</p>
<p>While a broader recession could affect the company, sector-specific macro headwinds are unlikely to cause major disruption, given Reddit&#8217;s lower exposure to the most impacted ad budgets.</p>
<p><strong>Guggenheim: </strong>The analyst noted that while management recognized ongoing market uncertainty, they characterized current conditions as stable.</p>
<p>Advertising performance stood out, with pricing growth for the first time since Reddit's IPO, driven by progress in mid- and lower-funnel ad strategies, which now account for 60% of ad revenue.</p>
<p>Broad strength was seen across ad verticals, with 10 out of 15 growing over 50% year-over-year, alongside a 50% increase in active advertisers.</p>

<p>RBC Capital  analyst Ken Herbert   maintains Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWM#NYSE">HWM</a>) with a Outperform and raises the price target from $150 to $165.</p>

<p>Wall Street analysts raised their price targets on the stock.</p>
<p>Needham analyst Ryan MacDonald maintained Duolingo with a Buy and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DUOL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from</a> $400&nbsp;to&nbsp;$460.</p>

<p>The company reported quarterly revenue growth of 38% to $230.74 million, beating the analyst consensus estimates of $222.98 million. EPS of $0.72 beat the <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.duolingo.com/investor-relations" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate</a> of $0.51.</p>
<p>This quarter&#8217;s top-line outperformance was mainly driven by Subscriptions, which topped estimates, driven by better-than-expected subscriber count and revenue per subscriber. Paid subscribers came in at 10.3 million for the quarter, above the consensus of 10.12 million. Gross margins exceeded the analyst estimate of 70.0% at 71.1% but were down from 73.0% a year ago. </p>
<p>The decline was expected and due to a combination of lower subscription margins from increased generative AI costs associated with increased Duolingo Max adoption. However, management noted they benefited from some earlier-than-expected cost optimization and higher than anticipated advertising gross margin in other revenue.</p>
<p>Daily active users (DAUs) were 46.6 million, an increase of 49%, and monthly active users (MAUs) were 130.2 million, an increase of 33%.</p>
<p>A viral campaign helps drive record MAU adds, while Max adoption continues at a similar rate to the fourth quarter. Subscription bookings were strong in the quarter, with Y/Y growth at 43.8% versus the analyst&#8217;s 35% growth estimate, resulting in subscription bookings of $232.2 million, above the consensus of $218.5 million.</p>
<p>Duolingo expects second-quarter&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$238.50 million-$241.50 million&nbsp;versus&nbsp;the $233.76 million&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate. MacDonald expects quarterly revenue of $240.12 million.</p>
<p>Duolingo raised its fiscal 2025 revenue outlook&nbsp;from&nbsp;$962.50 million-$978.50 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$987.00 million-$996.00 million&nbsp;versus&nbsp;the $977.16 million&nbsp;estimate. MacDonald expects fiscal revenue of $991.51 million.</p>
<p>Duolingo stock continued its strong run to start 2025, with shares up 23.4% year-to-date and 79.4% in the past year. While the stock is trading at a premium multiple to the comp group, and MacDonald&#8217;s new price target represents a 22.1 times EV/sales multiple on his fiscal 2025 estimates, the analyst noted that the strong year-end subscription bookings likely translate into subscription revenue growth in the mid-40s range for fiscal 2025 versus the current consensus of 38.3%.</p>
