Last week, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates lamented the growing divide between the U.S. and China, saying it's blocking access to critical climate and technology innovations.
What Happened: In a wide-ranging interview during an Express Adda event, Gates praised China's leadership in renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and battery technology, while expressing concern that geopolitical tensions are hindering global collaboration on major challenges like climate change.
"China has been absolutely a pioneer," Gates said, noting its dominance in solar panel manufacturing, battery innovation, and AI research. "It's a real shame for the world that the U.S.-China tension means that the willingness to access those goods is quite limited."

Gates underscored the scale of China's contributions, calling the country "out in front" on critical green technologies and saying its research institutions have achieved "deep" scientific capabilities.
He pointed to electric vehicles as an area where American tariffs are impeding progress, noting, "There just won't be many Chinese EVs sold in the United States" due to high import barriers.

Why It's Important: Gates' comments come as the U.S. and China remain locked in strategic and economic competition, particularly around semiconductors, clean energy, and AI.
Earlier this week, the U.S. added over <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44494896/us-adds-50-chinese-entities-to-export-restriction-list-curtailing-access-to-nvidia-amd-chips">50 Chinese entities to an</a> export restriction list, aiming to curb China&#8217;s advancements in AI and semiconductor technology. This move is part of a broader strategy to limit China&#8217;s access to cutting-edge technology from companies like NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
Meanwhile, China has been <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44451449/china-courts-apple-pfizer-eli-lilly-amid-us-pressure-vice-premier-says-beijing-will-continue-to-improve-the-business-environment">actively courting multinational companies</a>, including Apple Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), to improve its business environment amidst these pressures.
China is reportedly considering <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44448798/china-ponders-export-limitations-to-quell-trumps-trade-onslaught">export restrictions</a> in response to U.S. economic actions.

Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates Praises China As A Pioneer In Solar, Batteries, And AI: Warns Tensions Are Stifling Global Innovation

As CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) makes its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/ipos/25/03/44516779/coreweave-inc-ipos-tomorrow-heres-what-you-need-to-know">public market debut</a>, CEO Michael Intrator pushes back on concerns over client concentration and insists that investor skepticism is missing the company's long-term value and growth potential.
What Happened: CoreWeave, the AI cloud <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44140237/coreweave-acquires-weights-biases-to-enhance-ai-development">infrastructure company backed</a> by Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), officially began trading on Friday in one of the year's most anticipated IPOs.
While the company has reported explosive 700% year-over-year revenue growth, much of that success <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44240048/openai-secures-near-12-billion-coreweave-deal-taking-stake-in-cloud-firm-ahead-of-35-billion-ipo-to-reportedly-reduce-microsoft-dependence">hinges on two major clients</a>: Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, which together account for the majority of its income.
Critics have raised red flags over this revenue concentration, but CEO Intrator isn't fazed.

"They say that we had 60% of revenue from Microsoft, and then we signed a contract with OpenAI for just under $12 billion, and now we're less than 50%," he said in an <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/28/coreweave-ceo-michael-intrator-ipo-going-public-ai-company/">interview</a> with Fortune on Friday. "All the big players that need this type of infrastructure … those are our customers."
Intrator also acknowledged that the size of deals with hyperscalers like Microsoft and OpenAI naturally skews revenue distribution.&nbsp;
"When you win one of those mind-bendingly large deals … there will be concentration," he added. He also pointed out that clients such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), and Jane Street use CoreWeave's infrastructure for narrower, but still valuable, workloads.
Subscribe to the&nbsp;<a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a>&nbsp;to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
The CEO also believes that Wall Street may not fully understand CoreWeave's positioning yet.&nbsp;
"There's a divergence between what the capital markets and what the media is thinking, and what I am feeling down in the trenches," he said. "What I am feeling … is relentless demand. We need more compute. We need larger compute."
CoreWeave's IPO is seen as a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/ipos/25/03/44520808/nvidia-backed-coreweave-ipo-5-things-investors-need-to-know-before-buying-shares">key test of how public markets</a> are responding to the AI infrastructure boom. Though the company had to scale back its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/ipos/25/03/44100280/nvidia-backed-coreweave-files-for-ipo-amid-explosive-ai-growth-revenue-surges-737-to-1-9-billion">initial offering</a>, Intrator said going public was a strategic move to improve access to the debt markets and reduce capital costs.
He also dismissed concerns about entering the market too soon. "The boldness of coming to this market amid the turmoil is because of a fundamental belief that, over time, I will be able to generate enormous value for my investors," Intrator said.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, CoreWeave shares were down by 0.07% and reached $39.97 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nvidia-Backed CoreWeave's CEO Defends Microsoft, OpenAI Revenue Concentration Due To 'Mind-Bendingly Large Deals

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk slammed Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.) during an interview, accusing him of being a "cr&#x2A;&#x2A;p" for <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44451467/tim-walz-backtracks-on-tesla-stock-jab-i-was-making-a-joke-after-kevin-olearys-criticism">mocking his EV company's</a> stock price decline.
What Happened: Appearing on the special report with Bret Baier, Musk referenced an event held by Walz in Wisconsin on March 18, where the governor joked about Tesla's sliding stock.&nbsp;
"On the iPhone, they've got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day," Walz quipped, adding, "$225 and dropping," as the crowd laughed.
Musk didn't take the joke lightly. "I mean, you have Tim Walz, who's a huge j&#x2A;&#x2A;k, you know, running around on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price had gone in half," Musk said.

Why It's Important: The Tesla chief's comments come as his electric vehicle company has seen its stock plunge over 30.51% year-to-date amid waning demand for EVs, pricing pressures, and questions over a reported <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44410602/elon-musks-tesla-faces-1-4-billion-discrepancy-in-capital-expenditure-report">$1.4 billion gap in capital expenditures</a>.
Walz has also commented on the backlash he received after mocking Tesla stock, saying, "I have to be careful about being a smart&#x2A;&#x2A;s. I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor."
Previously, Kevin O'Leary criticized Walz, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44429717/kevin-oleary-blasts-tim-walzs-dig-at-tesla-stock-hes-mocking-a-company-his-own-pension-fund-invests-in">calling his remarks "beyond stu&#x2A;&#x2A;d,"</a> noting that Minnesota's State Board of Investment owns about 1.6 million Tesla shares through its retirement fund.
"What's the matter with that guy? He doesn't check the well-being of his own constituents? What a bozo," O'Leary said.
Walz, who was former Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate in the 2024 presidential race, has been an outspoken critic of both Musk and the Donald Trump administration, where the Tesla CEO currently leads the Department of Government Efficiency.
Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s stock fell 3.51% during Friday&#8217;s regular trading session, closing at $263.55, and slipped another 1.34% in after-hours trading to $260.02. Over the past year, the stock has climbed 50.41%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk Blasts Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Over Tesla Stock Mockery, Says It's 'Evil' To Celebrate Others' Losses

A former executive at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) said Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) is too far behind to catch up—and should focus on mature process chips instead of trying to rival the world's top chip foundry.
What Happened: At a book launch event in Taiwan earlier this week, Chiang Shang-Yi, TSMC's former co-chief operating officer, delivered a blunt assessment of Intel's current position in the chip industry, <a href="https://udn.com/news/story/7240/8637258">reported</a> China's United Daily News.
Chiang, who played a critical role in building TSMC into a global semiconductor powerhouse, said Intel was once the "king" of the industry—but is now a "nobody."
He warned that Intel's efforts to compete with TSMC in advanced chip manufacturing, such as the 2-nanometer node, are futile, and urged the company to consider acquiring or merging with companies that specialize in mature manufacturing processes.

"Intel should merge with a mature process chipmaker," he said, without naming specific targets.
However, he alluded to two potential candidates that industry watchers believe could be Taiwan's United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>) or U.S.-based GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>), both of which produce chips using older, more stable technologies at scale.

Earlier, it was reported that Intel&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44532855/intels-superfluid-cooling-tech-possibly-suitable-for-nvidias-gb300-chips-says-expert-amid-intcs-efforts-to-secure-commitments-for-foundry-services">SuperFluid cooling technology</a> is gaining attention for its potential application in Nvidia&#8217;s AI servers.
Price Action: Intel&#8217;s shares closed at $22.71 on Friday, reflecting a 3.85% decline. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped an additional 0.44%. Year to date, Intel has risen 12.31%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Intel Should Stop Competing With TSMC's Cutting-Edge Chips And Merge With Mature Node Giants, Says TSMC Veteran Chiang Shang-Yi

Why It's Important: According to Musk, the acquisition raised the valuation of the merged entity to $80 billion. The billionaire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44404525/elon-musk-paid-high-price-for-twitter-but-after-years-of-declining-value-x-is-once-again-wor">acquired Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion</a> and rebranded it as X as part of a broader vision to transform it into an "everything app."

Why CareTrust, Genuine Parts, And Hess Midstream Are Winners For Passive Income

Retirement should be a time of financial peace, not stress; yet, for many soon-to-be retirees, the transition from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40147003/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-robert-kiyosaki-sees-wealth-accumulation-in-market-declines-markets-are-cra">wealth accumulation</a> to income generation can be challenging.
The pressure to restructure the portfolio, ensuring it generates sufficient <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44461718/high-income-earner-with-3000-monthly-to-invest-faces-big-decision-i-definitely-want-to-diversify-beyond-ai-and-dividends">income</a> to live comfortably, is immense, more so when market volatility looms. For those with low-risk tolerance, the task is even more daunting because the wrong move could mean returning to work or cutting back on living expenses drastically.

A Redditor has shared in a post that he&#8217;s faced with this exact challenge. With just eight months until retirement, the investor, a 62-year-old, has $400,000 to invest and is looking for maximal monthly dividend income with minimal risk.
Although this income won&#8217;t be his primary retirement funding but extra lifestyle cash to supplement his pension, the pressure to restructure his allocations wisely is immense for the poster.
&#8220;I&#8217;m in an odd spot due to exiting a business as a founder. My retirement scenario gets better every year. If I ever need extra cash, it will be in the first 5 years. I have a low-risk tolerance. Or, God forbid, I would need to go back to work if it crashed! It looks like we are in a dip now, obviously a high rate environment. Would this qualify as a better time to buy?&#8221; the investor wrote.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
The responses to his post ranged from ultra-conservative to moderately aggressive, so let&#8217;s analyze them.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Soon-to-be Retiree Has $400,000 to Invest for Dividend Income–Reddit Weights In</h2>
Invest in High-Quality Dividend ETFs
Considering the investor&#8217;s low-risk approach, Redditors suggested he pick a few high-quality ETFs to invest in.
&#8220;[Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schd#NYSE">SCHD</a>)] gets you a decent amount,&#8221; a comment reads.
&#8220;[NEOS S&amp;P 500 High Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spyi#NYSE">SPYI</a>)] and chill,&#8221; says a Redditor, to which another user replied, &#8220;One advantage of SPYI is that its dividends are mainly return of capital. So, the tax is lower than an unqualified dividend from, say a [business development company]. However, if you use a tax-advantaged account like the Roth, that doesn&#8217;t matter.&#8221;
A commenter mentioned he splits his portfolio between two ETFs.
&#8220;I split between SPYI and [JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepq#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>)​],&#8221; he said.
&#8220;[​JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepi#NYSE">JEPI</a>)​], JEPQ, [WP Carey (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wpc#NYSE">WPC</a>)], [Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/epd#NYSE">EPD</a>)], [MPLX LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mplx#NYSE">MPLX</a>)], SPYI,&#8221; an allocation suggestion reads.
A Reddit user wrote that this favorite individual stock of many investors is the perfect choice since it generates a 7% dividend yield per year.
&#8220;[Altria Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mo#NYSE">MO</a>)] &#8211; recession resistant, 7% yield. Your $400,000 would kick out $28,000 a year in income,&#8221; he said.

Go For Higher-Yielding Income Plays
Several Redditors suggested business development companies and covered-call ETFs since they deliver around 8% to 11% yields if the investor can handle a bit of risk.
&#8220;High-quality [business development companies] like [Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/arcc#NASDAQ">ARCC</a>)​], [Blue Owl Capital Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/obdc#NYSE">OBDC</a>)], [Golub Capital BDC (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbdc#NASDAQ">GBDC</a>)], [Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bxsl#NYSE">BXSL</a>)], [Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/main#NYSE">MAIN</a>)], [Capital Southwest Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cswc#NASDAQ">CSWC</a>)], [Fidus Investment Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fdus#NASDAQ">FDUS</a>)]. Average 9% yield,&#8221; a user recommended.
&#8220;[Business development companies] are a solid income-producing asset. This person doesn&#8217;t have decades to wait for growth. They need the money now as they are about to retire and growth was presumably the focus for the past few decades,&#8221; an advocate for business development companies wrote.
A Redditor shared in the comments that he&#8217;s been retired for 15 years and has the biggest part of his portfolio in high-yield business development companies.
&#8220;I&#8217;m 78 and have been retired for 15 years. I&#8217;m fortunate that social security and pensions cover my living expenses. The majority of my portfolio is high-yield [business development companies], [closed-end funds], and [real estate investment trusts]. The average yield is a tad over 10%. In 2022, the total value dropped but less than the DOW or S&amp;P. The dividends kept on coming without missing a beat. High risk they say, high rewards I say. It allows me to spend winters in Florida and yearly overseas vacations. I have zero regrets,&#8221; the retiree said.

62-Year-Old With $400K And 8 Months To Retire Faces Huge Dilemma – 'How Would You Invest $400K?' Redditors Debate Best Low-Risk Moves

He worried the company might lose its famed standard of excellence and that the chance to guide it back might one day be missed.&nbsp;
Even as he moved toward focusing on his philanthropic work, those early misgivings lingered in his mind. Despite the anxiety, Microsoft has charted an impressive course over the years.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leadership That Transformed a Giant</h2>
Gates' fears eventually proved unnecessary. Steve Ballmer, who steered the company from 2000 until 2014, pushed Microsoft to unprecedented heights, setting the stage for the current era under Satya Nadella. He has been at the helm since 2014.
A look at the numbers reveals the scale of the transformation. According to <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/microsoft-market-cap-historical">Statmuse</a>, Microsoft&#8217;s market capitalization reached $3.1 trillion on Dec. 31. Moreover, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/investor/reports/ar24/index.html?utm_">Microsoft's annual reports</a> show that the company pulled in over $245 billion in annual revenue for fiscal 2024, a 16% jump from the previous year.
These milestones paint a picture of a company that met and exceeded early expectations. Gates hasn&#8217;t entirely stepped away. In a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/bill-gates-interview-5-things-e11c3fa2">Wall Street Journal interview</a> on Jan. 26, he said, "I love doing product reviews, and [Satya Nadella] brings me in to do that." He added that while that's only 15% of his time, it helps him stay up to date, particularly in artificial intelligence, where Microsoft has made major moves.&nbsp;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
This ongoing involvement allows him to harness the company&#8217;s vast resources to support the philanthropic foundation he co-founded with his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates. Though he left the CEO chair in 2000 and the board in 2020, his role as an advisor remains influential in shaping the company&#8217;s future.
Adding a dose of counterbalance to the success story, some industry experts see potential challenges ahead. Gil Luria, senior analyst at D.A. Davidson, said that Microsoft&#8217;s hefty investment in artificial intelligence—an $80 billion initiative scheduled for 2025—coupled with economic uncertainties, could pose risks, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/microsofts-costs-focus-fears-rise-over-slow-payoff-ai-2024-07-29">Reuters</a> reported.

According to<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/microsoft-has-been-the-worst-big-tech-stock-lately-heres-why-it-may-become-the-best-c0e5794e"> MarketWatch</a>, Luria's Neutral rating with a $425 target reflects the idea that while Microsoft&#8217;s track record is impressive, the optimal moment for investors might still be ahead.
On Jan. 29, Microsoft's stock fell 4.5% in after-hours trading after the company forecast slower growth in its Azure cloud computing division and faced concerns over rising AI-related expenditures, according to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-beats-quarterly-revenue-estimates-2025-01-29/">Reuters</a>.&nbsp;
The company's capital expenditures reached $22.6 billion, exceeding analyst expectations and raising questions about near-term financial returns. Additionally, growing competition from lower-cost AI models developed by Chinese firms has fueled concerns about Microsoft's ability to monetize its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43903135/ais-19-9-trillion-impact-could-create-the-first-trillionaire-but-mark-cuban-says-it-wont-be-musk-or-bezos">AI</a> investments effectively.

Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Lillys stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Glaukos Stock In The Last 5 Years

Wall Street stumbled Friday as investors hustled to reevaluate their expectations with a hotter-than-anticipated inflation report and growing worries about imminent trade tariffs. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs tracking the broad indexes</a> S&amp;P500 and Nasdaq 100, like SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), The iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), suffered losses as traders processed the most recent inflation reading and an alarming consumer sentiment report.
Inflation Halts Advancements Toward Rate Reduction
The Fed&#8217;s favored measure of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price gauge, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44535109/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-rises-more-than-expected-in-february-casting-doubt-on-near-term-rate-cuts">rose 2.5% from the prior year, as expected</a>. Yet the core PCE that is watched most closely, adjusting for fidgety food and energy prices, gained 2.8%, beating expectations of 2.7% and its hottest level in more than a year.
LPL Financial chief economist Jeffrey Roach added that the increase in the core PCE print highlights <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44542821/inflation-will-accelerate-in-coming-months-if-april-2-tariffs-take-effect-economist-warns">lingering inflationary pressure</a>. He cited the rising savings rate, which hit 4.6%, as a sign that consumers are increasingly conservative about the outlook of the economy.
Comerica Bank&#8217;s chief economist, Bill Adams, seconded these fears, calling for a deceleration in consumer spending to weigh on real GDP growth in the first quarter of 2025.

Market Sell-Off: SPY, IVV And QQQ Take The Brunt
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">latest inflation figures</a> fueled a widespread sell-off on Wall Street on Friday, as all three major indexes lost heavily. S&amp;P 500 lost 2%, with the Nasdaq 100 losing 2.6%. Consequently, the SPY, an ETF that follows the S&amp;P 500, lost 2%, with QQQ, which follows the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, losing 2.6% on Friday. IVV, another major ETF tracking the S&amp;P 500, also slumped 2%.
Tech stocks were hammered, with all of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44542620/inflation-fears-spark-risk-off-sentiment-as-magnificent-7-drop-whats-driving-markets-friday">Magnificent Seven trading in the red</a>. Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) led the decline, dropping 4.3% and 4.9%, respectively. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), one of the highest holdings in SPY, wiped out its previous day&#8217;s gain, falling 3.4%.
Outlook: Volatility On The Horizon For SPY And QQQ
As inflation remained stickier than expected and the Federal Reserve increasingly under pressure to maintain higher rates, volatility in SPY and QQQ can be expected to continue. The slowdown in consumer spending, coupled with higher inflation and trade uncertainties, has created a vulnerable setup for the equity markets.
Though steady real disposable income growth could be a short-term buffer, as analyst Roach cautioned, any deceleration in pay growth would present an even bigger threat to the overall economy. Investors now look to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s next steps and the next steps in tariffs for more guidance in this uncharted economic climate.

<h3>CenterPoint Energy P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 69.68 in the Multi-Utilities industry, CenterPoint Energy Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 22.58. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743199227_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
