President Donald Trump's new tariffs went into effect on Tuesday, rattling businesses and consumers. Target CEO Brian Cornell said on Tuesday that shoppers will see higher prices on the shelves as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44106754/targets-q4-earnings-beat-estimates-warns-consumer-uncertainty-impact-in-q1-profits">soon as this week.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Cornell told CNBC in an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/trump-mexico-tariffs-will-raise-produce-prices-target-ceo-cornell-says.html">interview</a> that prices for fresh fruits and vegetables will rise, including avocados, strawberries and bananas imported from Mexico due to the 25% tariff now in place.&nbsp;
The CEO explained that due to the nature of fresh foods' "really short supply chains," shoppers will see the prices go up quickly.&nbsp;

"Those are categories where we'll try to protect pricing, but the consumer will likely see price increases over the next couple of days," Cornell said.&nbsp;
"If there's a 25% tariff, those prices will go up," he added.
Target will work to keep prices low and provide value to its budget-conscious customers by reducing its reliance on goods imported from China and Mexico. Cornell said Target has already reduced its goods from China from 60% to 30% and is on the "path to get it down to 25%."&nbsp;
Looking Ahead: The retail giant released its fourth-quarter<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44103957/target-corporation-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-earnings"> financial results</a> on Tuesday morning and cautioned that it sees "meaningful" pressure on profits in the first quarter.&nbsp;
"In light of ongoing consumer uncertainty and a small decline in February Net Sales, combined with tariff uncertainty and the expected timing of certain costs within the fiscal year, the Company expects to see meaningful year-over-year profit pressure in its first quarter relative to the remainder of the year," Target wrote in its press release.&nbsp;
Cornell said "there is some concern about tariffs" that adds to the pressure already facing inflation-weary and "cautious" consumers.&nbsp;
"We will continue to monitor these trends and will remain appropriately cautious with our expectations for the year ahead,&#8221; Target CFO Jim Lee said.&nbsp;
TGT Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Target shares are down 4.07% at $115.85 at the time of publication Tuesday.&nbsp;

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) has announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/m-a">a $2.16 billion all-cash acquisition</a> of Sundyne from Warburg Pincus (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WPCBF#OTC">WPCBF</a>). 
The deal is valued at 14.5 times Sundyne&#8217;s 2024 EBITDA on a tax-adjusted basis. The acquisition expands Honeywell&#8217;s industrial equipment portfolio, enhancing its capabilities in high-performance pumps and gas compressors.
Headquartered in Arvada, Colorado, with global operations, Sundyne adds 1,000 skilled employees and strong recurring aftermarket revenue. Its integration is expected to drive significant synergies with Honeywell UOP&#8217;s process licensing, modular solutions, and global sales network.
The addition of Sundyne&#8217;s advanced technology strengthens Honeywell&#8217;s Energy and Sustainability Solutions (ESS) segment, improving efficiency and innovation in refining, LNG, and renewables. Honeywell Forge will further enhance reliability through IoT, while advanced R&amp;D will accelerate pump and compressor innovation.

Honeywell expects the acquisition to boost sales growth, segment margins, and adjusted EPS in its first full year. The move follows Honeywell&#8217;s planned separation of Aerospace Technologies and spin-off of Advanced Materials, forming three independent public companies as part of its portfolio transformation strategy.
Since December 2023, Honeywell has executed $9 billion in strategic acquisitions, including Access Solutions (Carrier Global), Civitanavi Systems, CAES Systems, and Air Products&#8217; LNG business, while divesting its Personal Protective Equipment unit. It remains on track to exceed its $25 billion capital deployment goal by 2025.
The Sundyne acquisition is expected to close in Q2 2025, pending regulatory approvals and customary conditions.
&#8220;By combining Honeywell&#8217;s top-tier technology with Sundyne&#8217;s leading process industry solutions, this acquisition will further enhance our dynamic Honeywell UOP business and create strategic growth opportunities in attractive verticals,&#8221; said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell.
&#8220;Sundyne&#8217;s vast installed base of top-of-the-line pumps and compressors will further strengthen Honeywell&#8217;s brand in the process industry and create significant opportunities for us to continue expanding our aftermarket services business,&#8221; added Kapur.
Price Action: At the last check Tuesday, HON shares were trading higher by 0.11% at $212.25 premarket.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

The tech giant plans to hire 20,000 people, expand its manufacturing presence, and build a massive new <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>-focused factory in Texas. But while this sounds like a big win for American jobs, some experts aren't buying into the hype.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Skepticism: Is This Plan Even Possible?</h2>
Not everyone is convinced Apple can pull off such a massive investment. According to <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/02/24/apple-500-billion-investment-donald-trump-analysts-react-tim-cook/">Fortune</a>, UBS analyst David Vogt called the numbers "completely unrealistic mechanically." His main concern? Apple's supply chain.&nbsp;

</ul>
Right now, only 10% of it is based in the U.S., with the bulk of production happening in Asia. Shifting a significant portion of that back to the States would take much longer than four years.
Then there's the financial reality. Vogt points out that Apple already spends $10 billion per year on data centers, generates about $100 billion in free cash flow, and uses $90 billion of that for stock buybacks.&nbsp;
Hiring 20,000 new employees would cost about $5 billion annually—so where's the rest of this investment money coming from? Some analysts believe it's more of a political maneuver than an actual, new financial commitment.

The <a href="https://apnews.com/article/78c761e50f3f3f8186db99899efefb7c">Associated Press</a> reports that Apple's investment announcement came just days after CEO Tim Cook met with Donald Trump. The timing is interesting because Trump has been pushing an "America First" manufacturing policy and threatening new tariffs on Chinese imports.&nbsp;
Apple, which relies heavily on China for iPhone production, could be trying to get ahead of potential trade restrictions.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives views the move as a strategic decision, stating, "Cook continues to prove that he is 10% politician and 90% CEO," according to <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/technology/apple-stock-building-ai-server-factory-texas/">Investors Business Daily</a>. In other words, Apple's investment might not be just about expanding U.S. operations—it's also about keeping good relations with policymakers.

This isn't Apple's first big investment pledge. In 2018, the company announced a $350 billion contribution to the U.S. economy. By 2021, it had increased that number to $430 billion. Now, we're at $500 billion—but how much of this is new spending versus what Apple was already planning to invest?
According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/apples-500-billion-is-mostly-already-in-the-books-7cc7123e">The Wall Street Journal</a>, Apple has spent $1.1 trillion in the past four years, with about 43% of its revenue coming from the Americas. That suggests a big chunk of this investment is just a continuation of Apple's existing spending patterns, rather than a completely new commitment.
