V2X Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VVX#NYSE">VVX</a>) announced Monday that it has <a href="/www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45035761/v2x-awarded-103-million-u-s-navy-contract-for-c-26-support-extending-legacy-as-a-readiness-multipl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">secured a $103 million contract</a> from the U.S. Navy to deliver Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) services for the Navy&#8217;s C-26 aircraft fleet.
The agreement further cements V2X&#8217;s reputation as a trusted partner in ensuring operational aircraft readiness and mission success.
As part of the newly awarded contract, V2X will continue to provide critical support services, covering engineering, aircraft upgrades, maintenance, and modifications. This latest development reinforces the Navy&#8217;s faith in the company&#8217;s capabilities.
Jeremy C. Wensinger, President and CEO of V2X, expressed that the contract win underscores the Navy&#8217;s enduring confidence in V2X&#8217;s ability to maintain superior aircraft performance standards. &#8220;This award highlights the Navy&#8217;s continued confidence in V2X&#8217;s proven ability to deliver mission-capable aircraft with exceptional performance,&#8221; Wensinger said.
The contract, structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement, will officially commence in June 2025. It covers maintenance and support for eight C-26A/D aircraft located at four primary bases—one domestic and three international facilities.
Earlier in April, V2X secured a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44681707/v2x-delivering-critical-support-to-u-s-missile-defense-and-space-surveillance-capabilities" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$62 million contract</a> extension to maintain and enhance the COBRA DANE radar in Alaska, reinforcing its critical role in U.S. Space Force missile defense and space domain awareness through 2027.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">VVX Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research can be a valuable source of information for learning about a company's fundamentals. Analysts create financial models based on the fundamentals and expected future earnings of a company to arrive at a price target and recommendation for the stock.
Shares of V2X have an average 1-year price target of $62.25, representing an expected upside of 25.37%.
Because of differences in assumptions, analysts can arrive at very different price targets and recommendations. No analysts have bearish recommendations on V2X, while 3 analysts have bullish ratings. The street high price target from Citizens Capital Markets is $80.0, while the street low from RBC Capital is $54.0.
Price Action: VVX shares are traded lower by 0.34% at $49.64 at the last check on Monday.

Bitcoin Ethereum XRP Dogecoin Hold Firm After Last Week's Rally: What's Next

As Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) showed in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45039495/dominos-pizza-q1-operating-margin-shrinks-as-lower-income-consumers-feel-the-pinch">latest earnings report</a>, even America's favorite comfort food is not immune to the chill of a cooling economy. High inflation and jittery consumer sentiment, spooked by erratic trade policies, pulled down U.S. same-store sales by 0.5% on-year in the first quarter — a surprise miss against expectations.
Yet, all is not burnt crust and bad news. Domino&#8217;s surpassed earnings estimates with an EPS of $4.33, compared to $3.58 in the same quarter last year.
Smart tech investments by Domino&#8217;s, such as AI-based order preparation and their AnyWare platform, are likely to keep holding investor faith. On top of that, its new agreement with DoorDash (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>), which is launching nationwide in May, Domino&#8217;s has laid the groundwork for a possible comeback in the second half of the year.
This resiliency might make <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs holding restaurant stocks</a> an excellent opportunity for investors seeking to ride out economic volatility. Funds exposed to names such as Domino&#8217;s, McDonald&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), and Chipotle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>)—all firms focusing on tech development and value-for-money strategies—may provide a defensive yet lively play.
The following are three ETFs that investors may consider adding to their menu:
AdvisorShares Restaurant ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EATZ#NYSE">EATZ</a>)
EATZ is the sole pure-play restaurant ETF in the U.S. market, providing direct exposure to quick-service behemoths such as Domino&#8217;s, McDonald&#8217;s and Chipotle.
With a diversified basket in fast food, casual dining and coffee chains, EATZ is for those who think Americans will hold on to their comfort food, recession or not.
Domino&#8217;s is one of its top holdings, making it a natural choice for those wagering on pizza&#8217;s staying power.
However, EATZ has a reasonably small asset base, which may result in thinner liquidity. This makes it best suited for investors with a slightly higher tolerance for volatility.
Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>)
XLY provides more extensive exposure to consumer discretionary names, with heavyweight positions in Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), but also brings in big restaurant players such as McDonald&#8217;s and Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>).
It&#8217;s less restaurant-intensive but gives more diversification to investors who desire dining stocks without going &#8220;all in&#8221; on the group.
During turbulent markets, the power of familiar names can be like economic comfort food, reassuring but with less risk.
Invesco Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEJ#NYSE">PEJ</a>)
PEJ follows U.S. leisure and entertainment companies — including large restaurant chains.
It tilts toward companies poised for consumer discretionary spending, picking up both restaurants and entertainment spots.
US Foods (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USFD#NYSE">USFD</a>) and others typically have a spot on its list, surfing trends such as value-based dining and convenience-optimized ordering like DoorDash.
PEJ&#8217;s high-momentum selection strategy aims to pick up companies with good fundamentals and momentum, making it a good choice in turbulent economic climates.
It is interesting to note that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">recent action by Warren Buffett&#8217;s</a> Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44975325/2-smart-investments-to-follow-warren-buffetts-lead">raise its stake in Domino&#8217;s in Q3 2024</a>, just ahead of the latest tariff-led market volatility further supports the notion: even when the economy is shaken like a pizza, innovation, value and customer loyalty can make the dough keep coming.
For ETF investors, this could be the time to try restaurant-themed or consumer-discretionary funds that serve up a full plate of durability. After all, when pocketbooks get tight, Americans might skip the gourmet meal — but they&#8217;ll still call for a $10 pizza, maybe with extra cheese.

Agenus Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGEN#NASDAQ">AGEN</a>), a leader in immuno-oncology, today announced that data from the investigator sponsored NEOASIS study were presented in an oral session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. This represents the third clinical study evaluating botensilimab and balstilimab (BOT/BAL) in the neoadjuvant setting, with outcomes reported in mismatch repair–proficient (pMMR/MSS) and mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR/MSI-H) solid tumors. These findings include the first reported outcomes with BOT/BAL outside colorectal cancer in the neoadjuvant setting.

We've been getting&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/economic-data-earnings-results-ambiguous">ambiguous signals in the economic data</a>.
On one hand, the soft, sentiment-oriented data has been disappointing. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/">University of Michigan</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.conference-board.org/topics/consumer-confidence">Conference Board's</a>&nbsp;surveys of consumer confidence have turned sharply lower in recent months. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nfib.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/NFIB-SBET-Report-March-2025.pdf">NFIB's Small Business Optimism index</a>&nbsp;has tanked. Sentiment among&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apolloacademy.com/corporate-confidence-declining/">CEOs and CFOs</a>&nbsp;has turned south. Purchasing managers at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ismworld.org/globalassets/pub/research-and-surveys/rob/pmi/t4rf202503pmi.pdf">manufacturing</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ismworld.org/globalassets/pub/research-and-surveys/rob/nmi/5tagrob202503svcs.pdf">services</a>&nbsp;firms have also become increasingly cautious. And it's all because of the Trump administration's volatile position on tariffs — which most people&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/wall-street-brief-explanation-tariffs">agree are net negative for the economy</a>.
On the other hand, the hard data, which reflects actual activity, has been strong. <a href="https://www.tker.co/i/161227758/review-of-the-macro-crosscurrents">Retail sales</a> hit a record high in March, and weekly card spending data suggest that strength has continued into April. Durable goods orders and shipments continue at elevated levels. Meanwhile, key labor market metrics including job creation, unemployment, and claims for unemployment insurance continue to trend at levels associated with economic expansion.
This narrative of contradictions is illustrated nicely in this chart from Goldman Sachs, which shows how soft data has been surprising to the downside while hard data has been surprising to the upside. In other words, sentiment has been weaker than expected while realized activity has been stronger than expected.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F50658b33-5637-46a3-8c08-631f0ee9807a_1746x1288.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F50658b33-5637-46a3-8c08-631f0ee9807a_1746x1288.png" alt="" title="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The hard data has been surprisingly good despite the soft data being surprisingly bad. (Source: Goldman Sachs)</figcaption></figure>
Renaissance Macro's Neil Dutta wrote about these "data discontinuities" in his April 21 note.
"It's probable that much of the recent upside surprises in hard data reflect pulling forward activity in the anticipation of tariffs," Dutta wrote. "Consumers pulled forward auto sales and consumption on other household durables, as an example. Firms likely pulled forward some orders too. That likely gives the veneer of strength in the recent high-frequency dataflow."
During much of the economic expansion that began in 2020, it's paid off to focus on what&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/october-retail-sales-strong-sentiment-inflation">consumers</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/weekly-macro-soft-vs-hard-data">businesses</a>&nbsp;did (i.e., the hard data) over what they said (i.e., the soft data). The Federal Reserve&nbsp;<a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/tracking-consumer-sentiment-versus-how-consumers-are-doing-based-on-verified-retail-purchases-20250424.html">just published research</a>&nbsp;explaining this phenomenon.
But in a world where many are&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/sales-pull-forward-frontrunning-tariffs">aware of the inflationary risks of new tariffs</a>, this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/economic-data-earnings-results-ambiguous">pull-forward of sales</a>&nbsp;comes with two issues: 1) it masks what may be a much&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/hot-economic-charts-that-cooled">weaker underlying economy</a>, and 2) we could get&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/158036475/brace-for-payback">depressed sales in the future</a>&nbsp;when these pulled-forward sales would've normally occurred.
"[R]ecent hard data in the U.S., mostly for March, are overstating activity and it's worth noting that conditions were not especially strong to begin with," Dutta added. "The collapse across a range of survey-based measures of activity suggest that actual activity will continue to slowdown, in a potentially abrupt manner. Recession may already be here."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The big picture &#x1f5bc;&#xFE0F;</h2>
We'll only know with the benefit of hindsight whether or not we're in a recession or going into a recession.
However, we know that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/hot-economic-charts-that-cooled">the economy had been cooling</a>&nbsp;and that the threat of tariffs&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/stock-market-history-with-recessions">increased the risk of recession</a>.
Importantly, as long term investors, we should understand that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/stock-market-history-with-recessions">recessions</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/bear-markets-in-context">market downturns</a>&nbsp;will happen as you build wealth with stocks.
The economy has been in expansion&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/135828032/most-actual-news-about-the-economy-and-the-stock-market-isnt-bad">about 80% of the time</a>. Similarly, stocks have been in a bull market&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/135828032/most-actual-news-about-the-economy-and-the-stock-market-isnt-bad">about 80% of the time</a>. Maybe we're currently going through an unpleasant period that has historically occurred about 20% of the time.

Ambiguous Signals In Economic Data

On Friday, AbbVie Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) reported an adjusted EPS of $2.46, up 6.5% year over year and beating the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $2.38</a>.
The pharmaceutical giant reported sales of $13.34 billion, up 8.4% on a reported basis (+9.8% on an operational basis), beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45011116/abbvie-q1-earnings-come-ahead-of-expectations-ceo-says-well-positioned-for-long-term" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $12.92 billion</a>.
It reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.46, beating the street view of $2.38.
BMO Capital Markets writes that every quarter seems to tell the same story. Analysts think they&#8217;ve accurately factored in Skyrizi and Rinvoq&#8217;s growth, only for AbbVie to outperform expectations once again.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44937940/abbvies-pipeline-may-be-a-2026-story-but-analyst-likes-the-setup-now" rel="noreferrer noopener">AbbVie&#8217;s Pipeline May Be A 2026 Story, But Analyst Likes The Setup Now</a>
In the first quarter of 2025, Skyrizi and Rinvoq beat consensus estimates by 7% and 8%, respectively.
<ul>
<li>Skyrizi sales increased 70.5% (+72%) to $3.425 billion.</li>
<li>Rinvoq sales reached $1.72 billion, an increase of 57.2% (+59.7%).</li>
</ul>
&#8220;While we are still carefully watching the launch of Johnson &amp; Johnson&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) Tremfya as it begins to build momentum, 1Q25 demonstrated the prowess of AbbVie&#8217;s commercial contracting team again, pushing us to again revise our estimates higher for the two products. With Skyrizi now capturing 1 in 3 in place UC patients, we highlight that the company&#8217;s I&amp;I portfolio appears poised to continue growing through more significant Humira erosion,&#8221; analyst Evan David Seigerman writes.
Seigerman writes that AbbVie appears well-positioned to manage through Humira&#8217;s U.S. patent loss. With the acquisition of ImmunoGen and Cerevel, AbbVie is well-positioned to capitalize on Elahere&#8217;s growth and key readouts for emeraldine/tavapadon.
Vyalev was a minor contributor to AbbVie&#8217;s overall beat, but BMO Capital writes that investors may be underappreciating its growth and upside. With Medicare reimbursement not yet in place, the analyst sees more upside to analyst estimates over the coming quarters. Advancements with Vyalev appear to pair well with Cerevel&#8217;s tavapadon, which could also be commercialized in 2026, meaningfully expanding the company&#8217;s Parkinson&#8217;s portfolio.
Vyalev is&nbsp;a prescription medication used to treat motor fluctuations in adults with advanced Parkinson&#8217;s disease.
<ul>
<li>BMO maintains the Outperform rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $215</a>.</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley maintains AbbVie with an Overweight, raising the price target from $241 to $250.</li>
<li>Evercore ISI Group keeps the Outperform rating for AbbVie, raising the price target from $204 to $205.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: ABBV stock is up 2.54% at $190.79&nbsp;at the last check Monday.

What's Pushing Sony To Consider A Semiconductor Spinoff?

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) shares are trading lower Monday. Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein maintained an Outperform rating on Amazon but lowered the price target from $260 to $220.
What To Know: Helfstein reduced estimates ahead of the company&#8217;s upcoming earnings report, citing uncertainty around the impact of tariffs on the e-commerce industry.
He believes third-quarter results will be hit the hardest, as Amazon sellers still have inventory purchased before tariffs took effect.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told CNBC some sellers are buying inventory ahead of time, with consumers also making purchases before expected price increases. Sellers are likely to pass higher tariff costs onto consumers, although no major shifts in behavior have been seen yet.
Helfstein lowered overall revenue estimates by 2% for fiscal-year 2025 and 1% for fiscal-year 2026, matching the reductions to North America forecasts. He also cut international revenue projections by 2% and Amazon Web Services revenue by 1%.
The analyst also cut EBIT estimates, expecting total EBIT to fall 19% in fiscal-year 2025 and 14% in fiscal-year 2026. North America EBIT is projected to drop 49% in 2025 and 35% in 2026, while International EBIT and Amazon Web Services EBIT are expected to decline 2% and 1%, respectively.

Oppenheimer's Helfstein Cuts Amazon Price Target To $220 On Tariff Concerns

There's little doubt the tariff wars have taken a toll on Americans' investment portfolios. And with the markets still in disrepair, nobody knows when stocks will stabilize.
"The situation is volatile, to say the least," said Doug Carey, a financial advisor at WealthTrace, a retirement planning consumer software company. "President Trump has the final word on how much tariffs will cost because he is using emergency powers, citing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), passed in 1977. These moves may be struck down in court, but for now, he can use them."
To peg a reasonable timeframe, Benzinga reached out to select market experts for their views on a permanent "ceasefire" in the tariff wars, which could help calm anxious investors and encourage them to return to the market.
Here's what they had to say on when the markets will come back to sanity.
Doug Carey: There will likely be several signs that the market is set to rebound after the tariff issue is settled &#8211; or at least stabilized. "Look for the stock market to rise substantially and for the dollar to strengthen," Carey said. "Gold, which has increased over 25% this year due to the fear of a larger trade war, will do poorly if the tariff drama ends."
Carey said technology stocks were hurt the most by the fear of a trade war. "For those who believe that there will be an end to this drama soon, the tech sector is a good place to invest," he added.
Javier Palomarez, founder &amp; CEO of the United States Hispanic Business Council: "The clearest signal would be a statement from the Trump Administration that the tariffs are being walked away from, as a result of negotiations or whatever the case may be," Palomarez said. "However, it's worth noting that declining stocks also represent robust opportunities. Ideally, one would purchase their investments just before such a statement."
Palomarez advises investors to be vigilant about watching tariff trends – you don't want to miss the market rebound.
"If investors sold their stock at the low, it's critical to purchase it back before the market fully reacts to the signal that everything is clear, especially if you plan on investing in stocks that are vulnerable to future tariffs and regulations," Palomarez added. "Some investors may want to consider index funds or stocks in industries that are insulated from such rapid changes and regulatory uncertainty."
Chuck Zhang, CFO of PolyFlow, a decentralized payments company in Fair Lawn, N.J.: Last week, President Trump hinted at a possible shift in his trade stance with China, suggesting that the steep tariffs on Chinese imports will be substantially reduced. "His comments signal a softening in tone following weeks of escalating rhetoric and retaliatory measures that had driven tariffs on Chinese goods to over 145%," Zhang said. "While this would be a positive development in terms of de-escalation, the overarching trade policy remains assertive, contributing to the recent market volatility."
Zhang said he would advise investors to monitor several variables. "We're looking at a definitive resolution or rollback of tariffs; sustained rallies in equity markets, drops in the VIX volatility index, especially in sectors previously affected by tariffs; and overall improvements in global trade volumes, manufacturing indices, and corporate earnings," he said.
Investors should simultaneously evaluate asset allocations to achieve alignment with their long-term financial goals, considering a diversified mix of equities, bonds and other assets.​ "Then, as a general rule, prioritize investments in companies with strong balance sheets and consistent earnings," Zhen advised.
Jeff Weniger, head of equity strategy at the asset management firm Wisdom Tree: Weniger suspects the tariff issue is at the stage where the most aggressive bargaining chips are being methodically pulled off the table. "For example, India and Japan are priced at 84% and 77% probabilities, respectively, of coming to a trade deal with the Trump administration by July," he said. "Though other countries' probabilities are priced lower (China is 42%), this is a far cry from some of the intense pessimism that was being priced in earlier this summer."
For now, though, the worst of the drama is likely over. "The peak risk in markets was the 145% tariff on China, with similar reciprocity," Weniger added. "Those figures have been coming down for a few weeks, as has the tone of commentary from both the White House and Beijing."
Wenger also advised investors to keep an eye on volatility gauges such as the VIX index. "That index headed north of 60 on April 7th, a level of fear akin to readings that registered right after 9/11 and amid the bank and insurance company failures of late 2008," he added. "Fear levels on that order often precipitate heady gains in stocks."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Play The Tariff Game To Your Advantage</h2>
Other market experts say there is no clear sign that indicates the end of the tariff drama.
"This situation is not like a typical economic cycle with predictable patterns," said Julia Khandoshko, CEO at Mind Money, an international brokerage firm. "Instead, it resembles a new phase in global economics — what might one day be known as the &#8216;Tariff Wars of the 21st Century.'&#8221;
Khandoshko believes investors shouldn't wait for an obvious turning point, because one may never come. "Rather than looking for a specific event or announcement, they should integrate tariff risks into their long-term strategy," she said. "This means evaluating how particular companies might be impacted if tariffs are imposed on their goods or services."
Others agree, adding that tampering with the nation's Treasury market is a bad idea going forward.
"There may not be an &#8216;all clear&#8217; signal on tariffs because of politics," said David Russell, global head of market strategy at TradeStation Group in Chicago. "Officials may quietly backpedal on them without a lot of publicity. This crisis started with a bang, but it might end with a whimper."
Russell also offers a "lessons learned" factor for investors to absorb when the tariff-related carnage is over.
"Investors have learned that the bond market matters," he noted. "Our system relies on a functioning Treasury market, which requires a degree of foreign participation. Undermining that system threatens the foundation of the stock market and the entire economy."

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/04/44990571/2025-nfl-draft-how-to-watch-betting-odds-will-record-first-round-happen">2025 NFL Draft</a> is complete, and attention turns to how rookies will factor into their new team's depth charts for the next season.
Here's a look at the early Rookie of the Year betting odds.
Offensive Rookie of the Year: The quarterback position remains one of the most important in the NFL and last year's 2024 NFL Draft saw Jayden Daniels win the offensive rookie of the year after being one of a record-tying six quarterbacks drafted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38501129/2024-nfl-draft-recap-quarterbacks-wide-receivers-detroit-set-records-who-will-win-rookie-o">in the first round.</a>
In the 2025 NFL Draft, there were only two quarterbacks drafted in the first round. Cam Ward is the number one overall pick by the Tennessee Titans. Jaxson Dart was selected later in the first round by the New York Giants.
In the last two seasons, the second overall pick and quarterback selected second in the draft has won the Rookie of the Year. Daniels won last year and C.J. Stroud won the year before that.
While Dart went later in the first round, he would fit that current trend of being the second quarterback drafted and the best rookie. Dart isn't expected to start in the 2025 NFL season with Russell Wilson brought in to lead the way, but who knows what will happen.
The big storyline in the 2025 NFL Draft was Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders falling out of the first round and dropping down to the fifth round where he was taken by the Cleveland Browns who now have five quarterbacks competing for the starting role including Sanders and fellow 2025 NFL Draft pick Dillon Gabriel, taken 94th overall in the third round.
Sanders will have a chip on his shoulder after falling in the draft, but given the Browns' depth at the position, he may not see the field next season.
Here are the current betting odds for the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year from DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>):
<ul>
<li>Ashton Jeanty (Raiders, RB): +200</li>
<li>Cam Ward (Titans, QB): +230</li>
<li>Travis Hunter (Jaguars, WR): +750</li>
<li>Tyler Shough (Saints, QB): +1,200</li>
<li>Tetairoa McMillan (Panthers, WR): +1,400</li>
<li>Omarion Hampton (Chargers, RB): +1,600</li>
<li>Quinshon Judkins (Browns, RB): +1,800</li>
<li>Shedeur Sanders (Browns, QB): +1,900</li>
<li>TreVeyon Henderson (Patriots, RB): +2,000</li>
<li>Colston Loveland (Bears, TE): +2,200</li>
</ul>
Of the top betting favorites, Shough, Judkins, Sanders and Henderson were all drafted after the first round. Over the last 10 seasons, the offensive rookie of the year has come from the first round eight times, with Alvin Kamara (second round) and Dak Prescott (fourth round) the exceptions.
Shough could be the immediate starter for the Saints and get a chance to compete for the award.
Another trend to watch will be the tight end position with Brock Bowers (Raiders) placing second in voting last year after breaking several records for the position. No tight end has ever won offensive rookie of the year.
Tight ends Loveland and Tyler Warren (+3,000) were first round picks who will be likely day one starters and could compete for the award as long as no quarterback has a huge season.
In the last 10 seasons, there have been five quarterbacks to win the award, along with three running backs and two wide receivers.
Travis Hunter is the other topic to watch as he is a two-way player and expected to play both wide receiver and cornerback for the Jaguars, who moved up to take him in the 2025 draft.
Fanduel, owned by Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>), also has betting lines of Hunter winning either rookie of the year award at odds of +440 and odds of him winning both offensive and defensive rookie of the year at +5,000.
With Hunter playing both sides of the ball, it may hurt his chances of winning either award, while playing both positions likely helped him winning the Heisman Trophy, which went to the best overall college football player for both offense and defense.
Across the last 10 drafts, the second overall pick won five Rookie of the Year awards for either offense or defense. That trend that could favor Hunter.
Ahead of the 2024 NFL season, first overall pick QB Caleb Williams (Bears) was the early favorite, while Daniels was listed with odds of +650.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: On the other side of the ball, the defensive rookie of the year has been dominant by players taken in the first round.
Of the last 10 NFL Drafts, nine of the defensive rookie of the years came from the first round with the 19th pick or earlier. The one exception was a player taken 36th overall in the second round.
The defensive rookie of the year has been fairly evenly split by position with three linebackers winning, three defensive ends winning, three cornerbacks winning and one defensive lineman winning.
Here are the betting favorites for defensive rookie of the year at DraftKings:
<ul>
<li>Abdul Carter (Giants, Edge/DE): +250</li>
<li>Travis Hunter (Jaguars, CB): +750</li>
<li>Mykel Williams (49ers, Edge/DE): +900</li>
<li>Jalon Walker (Falcons, LB): +900</li>
<li>Jihaad Campbell (Eagles, LB): +1,200</li>
<li>Mason Graham (Browns, DT): +1,400</li>
<li>Shemar Stewart (Bengals, Edge/DE): +1,600</li>
<li>Mike Green (Ravens, Edge/DE)): +1,600</li>
</ul>
All the favorites were first round picks, outside of Green, who slid to the second round.
Last year, Jared Verse started the season ranked fourth at +1,100 odds after the NFL Draft before going on to win the defensive rookie of the year. Cater, who was considered the top prospect in the draft by some experts, is likely to stay the defensive favorite until the season begins.
