In a recent reaffirmation of her bullish stance, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has once again predicted that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) will hit a minimum of $700,000 in the coming years.
What Happened: Speaking at a recent interview, Wood reiterated ARK&#8217;s forecast of a minimum 580% surge in Bitcoin&#8217;s current value by 2030. 
She <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVsSn5EBFlE">detailed</a>, &#8220;We&nbsp;have always had a 2030&nbsp;target, the base case in&nbsp;the $700,000 to $750,000 range,&nbsp;the bull case in the&nbsp;$1.5 million range.&#8221;
Wood highlighted three primary factors propelling this audacious Bitcoin price prediction. These encompass Bitcoin&#8217;s potential to seize a share from gold or expand the store-of-value market, institutions starting to invest in Bitcoin, and emerging market use cases.

In addition to her Bitcoin forecast, Wood also shared her views on the current economic situation. She stated that the US is in a recession but anticipates it to end soon, following&nbsp;more clarity around President Trump's&nbsp;tariff negotiations. She is optimistic that this will trigger considerable economic growth, partly driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI).

"I just put out a letter talking about the rolling recession we've been in for the last three years, since the Fed jacked up rates. We got a negative quarter in the first quarter, and potentially in the second quarter as well. And I think more and more people are getting concerned about an extended recession, and amid all the uncertainty, we actually think we're at the end of this rolling recession, and that we are moving into a period, after all of this uncertainty, of much greater productivity,&#8221; Wood added. 
&#8220;I&nbsp;think we're going to see a lot more productivity driven growth, which means inflation is going to be much lower than expected, which is going to be very capital friendly," she shared. 
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $102,811, marking a 2.4% increase&nbsp;in the last 24 hours.
Why It Matters: Wood&#8217;s prediction is significant as it reflects the growing confidence in Bitcoin&#8217;s potential to disrupt traditional financial markets. The forecast also underscores the increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin as a viable investment. 
Furthermore, Wood&#8217;s comments on the economic climate highlight the potential role of Bitcoin and AI in driving economic growth post-recession.

Cathie Wood Stands Firm on Bold $700,000 Bitcoin Prediction for Investors, Says 'Bull Case in the $1.5 Million Range'

A recent shift in how the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45281537/gop-warns-trump-appointed-social-security-chief-frank-bisignano-against-further-staff-cuts-citing-risks-to-services-as-baby-boomers-age">Social Security Administration</a> handles benefit overpayments may offer partial relief — but it still comes with serious consequences. Effective April 25, the SSA began withholding up to 50% of monthly Title II benefits, such as retirement, disability, or survivor payments, from those who received overpayments.&nbsp;
While that's a step back from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44368080/ssa-to-seek-100-recovery-on-social-security-overpayments-heres-what-this-means-for-your-benefits">previously announced 100% clawback</a>, experts say the new policy can still leave retirees and other beneficiaries in financial distress.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Benefits Being Withheld?</h2>
Overpayments happen when the SSA sends out more money than a person is actually owed. This can occur for several reasons, including agency errors or delays in processing information — like changes to a beneficiary's income, living situation, or marital status.
When the SSA determines that an overpayment has occurred, it sends a notice asking for full and immediate repayment. If the beneficiary doesn't respond within roughly 90 days — by requesting a waiver, a reconsideration, or a lower repayment rate — the SSA begins automatically withholding funds.
According to an <a href="https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/reference.nsf/lnx/04252025032443PM">emergency message</a> from the SSA, the new policy sets a default withholding rate of 50% for all new overpayment notices beginning April 25. This means half of a beneficiary's monthly check may be withheld until the debt is paid off — unless they take action.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Relief from 100%, But Still Not Easy</h2>
The SSA's decision follows backlash against a previous plan to withhold 100% of benefits for overpaid recipients. That plan, <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/news/press/releases/2025/#2025-03-07-a">announced</a> earlier this year, would have left some individuals without any income at all. Critics, including advocacy organizations and lawmakers, called the full clawback "draconian."
While the reduced rate is seen as progress, it's far from a full solution.
"If you're relying on your benefits to pay your rent or your mortgage and buy food, losing half of that income is going to be devastating and can still result in people becoming homeless," Kate Lang, director of federal income security at Justice in Aging, told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/05/social-security-overpayment-withholding-rate-change.html">CNBC</a>.
Richard Fiesta, executive director of the Alliance for Retired Americans, told CNBC the change still risks causing "immediate economic hardship" for many, particularly when the overpayment was not the beneficiary's fault.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can You Dispute the Overpayment?</h2>
Yes — but it's not always straightforward. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44292349/if-i-were-a-beneficiary-id-be-setting-aside-some-money-right-now-former-ssa-commissioner-warns-t">Beneficiaries</a> can request a reconsideration, a waiver, or a lower withholding rate. However, responses can vary depending on the SSA employee handling the case.
"There are thousands of employees that individual beneficiaries are going to be dealing with to ask for a waiver or ask to negotiate a different repayment rate," Lang said. "And those employees have a lot of discretion in what they decide."&nbsp;
Plus, long wait times for SSA appointments can make it harder for people to respond in time.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to Do If You Receive an Overpayment Notice</h2>
If you get a notice, act quickly. According to the SSA, you typically have about 90 days to challenge it before the SSA begins withholding up to 50% of your monthly benefit.
Experts recommend contacting the SSA as soon as possible to explore your options. You may be able to reduce the withholding rate or avoid repayment altogether if you weren't at fault for the overpayment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
While the SSA's decision to cut the withholding rate from 100% to 50% may sound like good news, the fallout could still be serious for many retirees. Stay informed, respond quickly to any overpayment notice, and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.

You Could Still Lose Half Your Benefits: Social Security Reduces Overpayment Withholding Rate, Experts Warn Of Fallout

When it comes to managing money, Suze Orman says understanding debt is a critical first step — especially for anyone hoping to improve their financial health. On a recent episode of her "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/suze-school-the-actions-you-need-to-take-now-with-your-money">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, Orman made a clear distinction between "good" debt and "bad" debt — and explained how to handle both.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's the Difference Between Good Debt and Bad Debt?</h2>
According to Orman, bad debt "is where you are paying for your present day desires, but your costs are going to be your future day needs."&nbsp;
The most common example? Credit card debt. It typically comes with high interest rates and can snowball if not addressed quickly.

</ul>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45256709/approaching-retirement-suze-ormans-2025-plan-for-safe-high-earning-cash">Orman</a> says good debt, on the other hand, includes borrowing that may help you build your financial future. This could be a mortgage, a student loan, or even a car loan — as long as it&#8217;s used wisely. For instance, if a car is necessary to commute to work and the loan is reasonable, it may be considered a strategic expense.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Know If a Car Loan Is Worth It</h2>
Even though a car loan can sometimes be a form of good debt, Orman urges caution. "Remember, if you buy a new car, the second you drive it off the lot, it goes down a good 20% or more in value," she said.
To decide whether a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44309975/suze-orman-warns-against-this-costly-car-buying-mistake-are-you-kidding-me-thats-just-spending-on-a-want-not">car loan is affordable</a>, Orman offers a simple rule: if you can&#8217;t pay it off in three years, the car may be too expensive. Stretching payments over five, six, or seven years? That could turn a necessary expense into bad debt.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tackling Credit Card Debt — No Matter Your Credit Score</h2>
If you're dealing with high-interest credit card debt, Orman recommends a few different strategies based on your credit score.
For people with good credit (a FICO score of 680 or higher), she suggests looking into 0% balance transfer offers. Some credit cards offer up to 21 months with no interest, which can give you time to pay down your debt faster without extra charges.
If your score is lower, balance transfers may not be an option. In that case, Orman offers a structured plan:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>List all credit cards by interest rate, from highest to lowest.</li>
<li>Write down the current minimum payment due for each card — and commit to always paying at least that much going forward.</li>
<li>Total your minimum payments. Add 20% to this number.</li>
<li>Apply that extra 20% to the card with the highest interest rate.</li>
<li>Once a card is paid off, roll the full amount you were paying on that card to the next highest-interest card — and repeat until you're debt-free.</li>
</ol>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Final Tip: Don't Close Those Paid-Off Cards</h2>
After you&#8217;ve paid off your credit cards, it may be tempting to close them — but Orman cautions against that. Closing credit cards lowers your available credit limit, which can hurt your FICO score. Instead, Orman urges listeners to consider keeping the accounts open and using them occasionally to maintain a positive credit history.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44889438/survey-unveils-american-misconceptions-about-credit-card-debt-management">Managing debt</a> is about more than making payments — it's about making smart decisions that protect your future. Orman's message is clear: learn the difference between good and bad debt, and take action today.

'There Is Good Debt And There Is Bad Debt' - Suze Orman Breaks Down Credit Cards, Car Loans, Student Debt, And Mortgages

Decades after Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) walked away from Morris Chang's pitch to co-invest in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), the Taiwanese chip giant has skyrocketed past Intel in market value.
What Happened: In a 2014 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEh3ZgbvBrE&amp;ab_channel=StanfordOnline">lecture</a> at Stanford University, Chang, the founder of TSMC, shared the remarkable backstory of how he secured funding for what would become the world's largest dedicated chip foundry.
At the time, Chang was tasked with piecing together financing, with the Taiwanese government promising up to 50% of the initial investment — if Chang could secure the other half from private investors, ideally a major global tech partner.
Chang approached several industry giants, including Intel, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Sony. While Intel initially showed some interest, the conversations ultimately ended in rejection.

Chang recalled how Intel's then-executive Craig Barrett met with him twice but eventually said no, saying the company wasn't interested.
"The only company that appeared to be genuinely interested was Philips," Chang recounted. While he had hoped for a stronger technology partner, Chang settled for Philips, which invested 28%. With the Taiwanese government's 48% and additional funds from local investors, TSMC was officially launched in 1987.

Why It's Important: Fast forward to today, and the contrast between TSMC and Intel's fortunes couldn't be starker.
As of May 2025, TSMC boasts a market capitalization of $908.78 billion, ranking as the world's 11th most valuable company, while Intel lags far behind with a market cap of $91.60 billion, sitting at 206th place globally.
TSMC, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/02/43886929/taiwan-semiconductor-options-trading-a-deep-dive-into-market-sentiment">went public as an ADR</a> in the U.S. in 1997, now controls over 60% of the global chip foundry market. It counts powerhouse clients like Apple Inc., Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corporation, leveraging process technologies and benefiting from the fabless chip model that has reshaped the semiconductor landscape.
Meanwhile, Intel has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42378342/intel-stock-is-where-it-was-27-years-ago-how-the-worlds-leading-chipmaker-lost-the-plot-thrice">struggled to maintain</a> its former dominance. Over the past five years, Intel's stock has fallen more than 64% (whereas TSMC has gained BY 231.17%), losing ground not only in its traditional x86 stronghold but also in emerging areas like smartphone chips and AI, where Nvidia has surged ahead.
At Intel's first-quarter 2025 earnings call, new CEO Lip-Bu Tan admitted, "Clearly, there are no quick fixes," as the company works through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45000866/intel-stock-has-fallen-nearly-64-in-5-years-now-ceo-lip-bu-tan-says-clearly-there-are-no-quick-fixes-but-investors-should-stay-tuned">multi-year transformation</a> plan aimed at regaining competitiveness in AI, GPUs, and edge computing.
But the bigger story today is how TSMC has far outpaced Intel's market value and global influence.
With TSMC sitting atop the global semiconductor supply chain and Intel working hard to stage a turnaround, the once-dismissed foundry model now stands as a defining force in the future of chips.

Morris Chang Once Talked About How Intel Turned Down His Vision For TSMC — Fast Forward To Today And The Taiwanese Chipmaker Has Outgrown Intel In Market Value By Hundreds Of Billions

President Donald Trump has expressed a readiness to drastically cut&nbsp;U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports,&nbsp;hinting at a potential 80% tariff as the new rate.
What Happened: President Trump is considering a significant reduction in tariffs on Chinese goods. This move is interpreted as an effort to advance in the ongoing trade war, sparked by Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; announcement.
The existing tariffs have notably influenced Wall Street and have sparked worries about a possible U.S. recession. They have also negatively impacted Trump&#8217;s approval ratings.
Trump,&nbsp;in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114477628854583525">post </a>on Truth&nbsp;Social, proposed that an 80% tariff on China seemed fitting. This would substantially lower&nbsp;the import tax on Beijing's&nbsp;goods from the current 145%. &#8220;80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B,&#8221; Trump wrote. 
He also alluded&nbsp;to Treasury Department Secretary Scott&nbsp;Bessent&#8217;s role in the decision.
The U.S. and China are&nbsp;set to engage in trade talks&nbsp;in Switzerland this weekend, with&nbsp;Bessent spearheading the discussions. Trump&#8217;s suggested tariff reduction comes as Beijing has been hesitant&nbsp;to negotiate a deal with&nbsp;the U.S., despite the potential harm to its own economy.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45185792/young-americans-express-discontent-over-trumps-china-tariffs">Young Americans Express Discontent Over Trump&#8217;s China Tariffs</a>
In another <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114477610338144415">post</a> on Friday, Trump said, &#8220;CHINA SHOULD OPEN UP ITS MARKET TO USA — WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THEM!!! CLOSED MARKETS DON'T WORK ANYMORE!!!"
Trump&#8217;s economic management has seen approval ratings fall below 50% in most polls, stirring unease among Republicans with the midterm elections just over a year away.
Despite the ongoing trade disputes, the prospect of U.S.-China talks has been received positively by markets, with Germany's DAX, Paris's CAC 40,&nbsp;and the U.K.'s FTSE 100&nbsp;all recording gains.
Why It Matters: The proposed tariff reduction signifies a potential shift in the U.S.-China trade war. The current tariffs have not only impacted Wall Street but also raised concerns about a U.S. recession and affected Trump&#8217;s approval ratings. 
The move could potentially ease these concerns and improve the economic outlook. However, the success of this proposal largely depends on the upcoming trade talks in Switzerland and Beijing&#8217;s willingness to negotiate a deal.

Function is now rolling out a 22-minute full-body MRI for just $499, with the company saying in its statement that it&#8217;s a third of the price of Ezra's previous $1,500 scan. Function co-founder and CEO Jonathan Swerdlin told CNBC, "What labs aren't covering, scans can see, and what scans couldn't touch on, labs cover."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tech-Powered Scans That Spot Trouble Before You Feel It</h2>
Ezra's scans are designed to catch disease before symptoms ever surface. From cancers to degenerative spine issues, silent strokes to liver disease, the AI-enhanced imaging adds a crucial layer to Function's preventive arsenal. According to Ezra founder Emi Gal, who lost his mother to late-stage cancer and started Ezra to change that reality, the goal has always been to find disease early enough to make a difference, CNBC reports.

Function is keeping Gal on board to continue leading the MRI division. "Over the past six years my team and I have helped countless people find cancer, many of whom are now cancer-free," Gal said in the startup&#8217;s statement. "We are now scaling this to millions together with Function."
According to<a href="https://radiologybusiness.com/topics/healthcare-management/mergers-and-acquisitions/whole-body-mri-firm-ezra-acquired-celebrity-backed-longevity-startup-function-health"> Radiology Business</a>, the scans will be immediately available to Function's nearly 200,000 members at almost 100 partner sites, including Longhorn Imaging, Princeton Radiology, and Rayus. Plans are already in motion to scale that to 1,000 locations nationwide.
Function has also integrated Ezra's proprietary AI stack: Ezra Flash AI for image quality, Ezra AI for interpreting scans, and Ezra Reporter to simplify radiology language. Together, these tools compress scan time from 60 minutes to just 22, and slash the cost to a fraction of what competitors charge, Radiology Business reports.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Future of Health Is Member-Owned, Not Hospital-Defined</h2>
Function Health is built around a single idea: health should be in your hands. Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer Mark Hyman calls it the most meaningful venture of his career, a platform rooted in P4 medicine: predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory. The aim is to give people the data they need to act early, rather than waiting for symptoms to become emergencies, according to<a href="https://time.com/7176591/function-health-startup-blood-tests-preventive-medicine/"> Time</a>.
Instead of relying on reactive systems and fragmented care, members gain access to centralized, real-time insights drawn from lab tests, full-body imaging, and AI interpretation. Hyman believes this breaks the old model where people had to ask doctors and insurers for permission to understand their own bodies. As he told Time, &#8220;The only way to do that is to have your own data, and not be limited by what you get at your doctor's.&#8221;
The company is also aggressively scaling. After raising $53 million in a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz&#8216;s Bio + Health fund, with additional backing from Draft Ventures, G9 Ventures, Wisdom.vc, and 53 Stations, Fierce Healthcare reports, Function is seeking $200 million more to fuel growth, according to CNBC.

Function Health Acquires Ezra, Launches $499 Full-Body MRI Scan Backed By Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal, And Kevin Hart

<li>Kohl's fired CEO Ashley Buchanan on May for cause</li>
<li>The dismissal came after an investigation uncovered unethical and undisclosed conflicts of interest</li>
<li>Michael Bender will be serving as interim CEO, while the company searches for a new leader</li>
</ul>
Kohl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) dismissed its newly installed CEO on May 1, citing "undisclosed conflicts of interest," the company <a href="https://investors.kohls.com/news/news-details/2025/Kohls-Announces-CEO-Transition-Process/default.aspx">said</a>.
Ashley Buchanan had been in the position for just four months before the company discovered&nbsp; allegedly unethical behavior. According to the retailer, an outside investigation found that Buchanan "violated company policies by directing the company to engage in vendor transactions that involved undisclosed conflicts of interest." As a result, he was terminated "for cause," a rebuke that carries serious weight in these circles.

The filing also said Mr. Buchanan did not disclose this relationship as required under the company's code of ethics, which amounted to his dismissal with cause.

Kohl's Dismisses CEO Over 'Undisclosed Conflicts Of Interest'

On a recent episode of The Ramsey Show, a woman phoned in to talk about her boyfriend's approach to finance that raised some red flags: "I've been dating a lovely young man… and his response [to retirement savings] was that 401(k)s are a scam." Hosts Dave Ramsey and George Kamel, as usual, had a lot to say about that.
What Happened: The caller <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y324f44rQuk">shared</a> that while she saves sincerely with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-401k">401(k)</a> and Roth IRA, her 32-year-old boyfriend, who immigrated from Albania six years ago, disregards retirement accounts completely. Ramsey responded: "What he&#8217;s saying is&#8230; I'm immature and I don't want to think about the future."
Ramsey went on to acknowledge that fear or cultural experience might be impacting the boyfriend's position. "If he is truly scared of this product… then you can deal with fear," Kamel added. They advised the caller to approach the situation like teaching someone to ride a bike: begin with training wheels, then build confidence step by step.

Why It Matters: Ramsey did not mince his words, highlighting the long-term relational and financial risks of not having a 401(k). "You&#8217;re going to live with someone who&#8217;s going to do no planning for the future, which guarantees your future sucks."
He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42988489/im-watching-my-retirement-savings-erode-away-61-year-old-panics-over-his-investments-but-dave-ramsey-tells-him-shut-up-and-invest">shared stories</a> of other callers who had a similar perspective and then ended up with decades of regret. "I <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45181755/58-year-old-with-no-retirement-says-his-ex-left-him-broke-and-hes-sick-of-working-dave-ramsey-says-he-can-build-a-500k-nest-egg-in-10-years">meet 57-year-old Americans who have no vision</a>&#8230; and they end up retiring and trying to live on Social Security and griping because <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43086362/retiring-with-zero-money-and-a-nice-paid-for-house-is-not-a-plan-dave-ramsey-tells-59-year-old-with-no-retirement-savings">all the opportunity is gone</a>", he said.
For this woman, the path forward with her boyfriend would be to "honor their questions," said Kamel. "Don't always try to explain them away… get with a third party" like a financial advisor. &nbsp;Ramsey then added: "I love you—don't marry this guy. He ain't worth it," if his mindset does not shift.
Ramsey has previously advocated for a similar approach, highlighting the importance of tackling debt, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/05/45187836/dave-ramsey-blasts-budget-slackers-who-bail-on-401ks-during-market-turmoil-shortterm-temper-tantrums">putting extra cash&nbsp;into a 401(k)&nbsp;</a>and Roth IRA, and investing in broad‑based mutual funds that compound over decades.

Dave Ramsey Tells Woman Whose Boyfriend Thinks 401(k)s Are A Scam: 'Don't Marry This Guy, He Ain't Worth It,' Calling Him An 'Immature' Man Who Doesn't 'Want To Think About The Future'

President Donald Trump has declared a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. This announcement comes amidst escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations.
What Happened: Early on Saturday morning, President Trump made a casual announcement about the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. 
&#8220;After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114483405683675564">posted </a>on Truth Social.
The announcement followed a series of escalating military actions between India and Pakistan. Earlier on Saturday, India had launched missiles at Pakistani airbases, which led to retaliation from Pakistan. 
This announcement was made mere hours after the conflict seemed to be intensifying.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also confirmed the ceasefire on his social media, commending the governments of India and Pakistan for their &#8220;wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The ceasefire agreement is significant as it comes at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan were escalating at an alarming rate. 
The conflict, which had its roots of Pakistan providing a safe haven for terrorists, had led to a series of military actions that threatened to destabilize both the countries. 
The successful mediation by the United States, as announced by President Trump, has brought a temporary halt to the conflict, potentially averting a major crisis. 
The impact of this ceasefire on the long-term relations between the two countries remains to be seen.

Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending May 9:
Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>): The payment processing and credit card company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week, which comes after the company reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45142357/mastercard-raises-guidance-for-fy25-after-upbeat-q1-results-and-surge-in-global-card-issuance"> first-quarter financial results.</a> Mastercard reported quarterly revenue of $7.25 billion and earnings per share of $3.73. Both figures beat Street estimates, continuing a streak of both figures beating estimates for more than 10 straight quarters. Among the highlights in the quarter was cross-border volume that was up 15% year-over-year. The company announced a partnership with Corpay in the quarter that will further help with cross-border payment solutions. JPMorgan analyst Tien-tsin Huang<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45175986/mastercards-cross-border-surge-and-pricing-actions-drive-analyst-optimism"> reiterated an Overweight rating </a>on the stock after earnings. The analyst said the company showed stability despite headwinds.
The stock was up around 2% during the week as seen on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0509">Benzinga Pro chart </a>below with the stock up 25% over the last year.

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>): The retailer saw increased interest from readers during the week, which comes with April comparable monthly sales reported and as the company prepares for third-quarter financial results. The company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45298451/jpmorgan-sees-more-upside-for-costco-as-us-sales-e-commerce-outperform">April monthly sales</a> of $21.2 billion, up 7% year-over-year. Comparable store sales were up 5.2% year-over-year in U.S. locations during the month, while overall same store sales increased 4.4% year-over-year. Analysts expect the company to post third-quarter revenue of $63.0 billion, up from $58.5 billion. The company has missed revenue estimates in six of the last 10 quarters. Increased attention to the stock could indicate more optimism for the next report with macro concerns and tariffs leading to an increase in bulk shopping during recent months.

Alamos <a href="https://www.alamosgold.com/news-and-events/default.aspx#news--widget">produced </a>125,000 ounces of gold in the quarter, which was at the low end of company guidance. The company said it continues to work towards stronger production with an aim of a run rate of one million ounces per year in the coming years.
"Nearly all of this growth is in Canada, it's all lower cost, and it's all fully funded providing one of the strongest outlooks in our sector," Alamos Gold CEO John McCluskey said after the quarterly results when talking of future growth.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>President Donald Trump proposed a 100% tariff on foreign films on Monday</li>
<li>The announcement, which was made on TruthSocial, came after a meeting with "special ambassador" to Hollywood Jon Voight</li>
<li>Reactions from industry professionals have been mixed, as studios and executives are unsure how the tariffs would be imposed</li>
</ul>
President Donald Trump on Monday announced his intention to introduce a 100% tariff on foreign films.
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!," the Truth Social post <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114452117143235155">said</a>.&nbsp;

</ul>
Trump has not detailed how that tariff would be imposed. According to the <a href="https://www.wipo.int/pressroom/en/stories/ip_and_film.html">World Intellectual Property Organization</a>, movies are intellectual property, not goods. It's unclear whether they could be subject to the types of levies he's imposed on other material items. However, the U.S. Trade Representative has <a href="https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/services-investment/services">established guidelines</a> for non-tariff trade barriers on some services that could be applied in this instance.
In recent years, many foreign locales have offered large tax breaks for studios to shoot movies and TV series outside Hollywood. A survey from <a href="https://prodpro.com/blog/2025-tv-film-outlook-report/">ProdPro</a> found that the top five preferred production locations by studio executives in 2025 through 2026 were all outside the U.S. In response, California's Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/10/27/governor-newsom-proposes-historic-expansion-of-film-tv-tax-credit-program/">a massive tax credit</a> in October that would bring film production back to Hollywood.&nbsp;
However, some veteran studio executives and producers told <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/us-media-stocks-fall-trump-threatens-100-tariff-foreign-made-films-2025-05-05/">Reuters</a> they had concerns about the proposed plan.&nbsp;
Trending: How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.
Producer Todd Garner raised questions about whether the tariffs would stifle creativity or lower production quality. "How would you make &#8216;Saving Private Ryan&#8217; in the U.S.? In Shreveport? Or a globe-trotting &#8216;Mission: Impossible?,'&#8221; he said.&nbsp;
Others see the plan in a different, more positive light. Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the executive director of the SAG-AFTRA actors' union told Reuters, "We look forward to learning more about the specifics of the plan announced by the president and to advancing a dialogue to achieve our common goals."
Trump's decision to impose tariffs on foreign films came after a meeting on Monday with actor Jon Voight, one of the president's "special ambassadors" appointed to address Hollywood issues. Voight later <a href="https://x.com/Variety/status/1919566653983019227?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1919566653983019227%7Ctwgr%5Ead448539d7b1aaa469b6cd40e8347c626b1b7cac%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fvariety.com%2F2025%2Fbiz%2Fnews%2Fjon-voight-steven-paul-trump-plan-hollywood-1236387372%2F">posted a video</a> about the meeting. Sitting in front of a U.S. flag, he said that he'd met with entertainment leaders who helped him come up with a set of tax provisions aimed at helping "movie and television production and our beloved theaters that are so important to the American family experience."

Trump Calls Hollywood's Decline A 'National Security Threat,' Orders A 100% Tariff On Foreign Films

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets experienced a notable upswing this week, driven by President Donald Trump's announcement of a trade agreement with the United Kingdom. The deal includes reductions in tariffs on UK automobiles, steel, and aluminum, and grants the UK access to the U.S. beef market. This development spurred optimism for potential future trade agreements and contributed to a rally in equities, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq posting gains. Additionally, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surpassed the $100,000 mark, reflecting increased investor confidence and a shift toward riskier assets.
Despite the positive market response, concerns about the broader economic outlook persist. The Federal Reserve opted to maintain current interest rates, citing uncertainties related to the new tariff policies and their potential impact on inflation and employment. Analysts warn of the risk of stagflation — a combination of stagnant economic growth and high inflation—especially as the effects of the tariffs become more pronounced.
Looking ahead, high-level trade discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials are scheduled, aiming to address ongoing tensions and possibly adjust existing tariffs. Investors are closely monitoring these developments, as outcomes could significantly influence market dynamics and economic forecasts in the coming months.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

The week was a whirlwind for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) with a series of major announcements and controversies.

Here&#8217;s a recap of the top stories.
Steve Jobs on the Importance of Hiring A-Players
In a 1995 interview that recently resurfaced, the late Jobs, then chief of NeXT Computer, emphasized the significance of hiring only the best software engineers. Jobs stated that the difference between good and great software engineers is a staggering 50-to-1. He admitted that letting go of non-performers was a painful but necessary process.

Warren Buffett Says 'Tim Cook Has Made Berkshire A Lot More Money,' Apple's $95 Million Privacy Lawsuit Settlement And More: Top Appleverse Updates

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon has emerged as a critical voice on President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies, acknowledging legitimate concerns while cautioning against excessive measures that could isolate the U.S. economy.
What Happened: &#8220;I thought it was too large, too big and too aggressive when it started,&#8221; Dimon <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG0pOnTWJEY">told</a> Fox in an interview released Thursday, describing Trump&#8217;s initial tariff approach as part of a &#8220;master plan to get people to the table.&#8221;
Despite these reservations, the Wall Street veteran defended the administration&#8217;s fundamental goal. &#8220;It&#8217;s ok to say if it&#8217;s unfair [and] we want to fix it,&#8221; Dimon stated, suggesting the White House is justified in addressing perceived trade imbalances.

Why It Matters: Dimon&#8217;s comments come amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45333895/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-trump-tariffs-are-terrifying-says-government-is-picking-winners-and-losers-amid-soaring-trade-deficit">escalating market concerns about tariff impacts</a>. Citadel founder Ken Griffin recently warned that the policies had &#8220;unleashed an era of crony capitalism,&#8221; while JPM itself raised recession odds to 60% from 40%, citing supply-chain disruptions. Major ports report Chinese shipments have &#8220;essentially ceased.&#8221;
The banking executive, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44968496/theyre-probably-going-to-live-to-120-jpmorgans-jamie-dimon-says-gen-z-should-stop-worrying-and-start-building-a-better-future">who earned $39 million in 2024</a>, has maintained that tariffs would likely prove only &#8220;modestly inflationary&#8221; with potential to deliver &#8220;good stuff&#8221; for the economy. 
Regarding the recent U.K.-U.S. trade agreement, Dimon welcomed progress while noting it represents just a preliminary step. &#8220;Any progress is good,&#8221; he said, also expressing satisfaction with improving relations with China, Japan and Taiwan.
When asked what advice he would offer Trump, Dimon recommended: &#8220;Keep doing what you&#8217;re doing now&#8221; on border security, while encouraging focus on immigration reform, pro-growth policies, deregulation and tax reform. On tariffs, he advised: &#8220;Just make progress now, country by country, tariff by tariff.&#8221;

Jamie Dimon Says Trump's Tariffs Were 'Too Aggressive,' Warns US Risks Going It Alone Without Measured Trade Strategy

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) remains a stock to hold for the long term despite recent market volatility, with the potential to reach a $1 trillion valuation, according to Will McGough, Director of Investments at Prime Capital Financial.
What Happened: McGough maintains his buy recommendation on the artificial intelligence software company even after its shares have surged 55% this year, pushing its market cap to $281 billion, now exceeding Salesforce, which generates 10 times more revenue, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/09/palantir-may-grow-to-a-trillion-dollar-market-value-investor-says.html">reported</a> CNBC.
&#8220;I think you own for the ride to a trillion-dollar market cap knowing it&#8217;s going to be extremely volatile,&#8221; McGough said. 
The bullish outlook aligns with Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45216263/pltr-stock-falls-9-19-in-premarket-trading-but-this-analyst-remains-bullish-predicts-1-trillion-valuation-in-3-years">raised his price target</a> from $120 to $140 while calling Palantir &#8220;the Messi of AI&#8221; and &#8220;a core name in the AI Revolution.&#8221; Ives similarly projected a trillion-dollar valuation within three years, citing the company&#8217;s success with its AIP product and multi-million dollar deals pipeline.

Why It Matters: Palantir&#8217;s lofty valuation metrics remain controversial, trading at 520 times trailing earnings, almost 200 times forward earnings and 90 times revenue. The disparity has created a stark divide between institutional skeptics and retail investors who have driven the stock up over 400% in the past year.
The data analytics firm reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/05/45229767/pltr-focused-etfs-down-whats-really-behind-palantirs-plunge-the-numbers-dont-tell-the-full-story">impressive first-quarter results</a>, with revenue beating expectations at $883.86 million, up 39% year-over-year. U.S. commercial revenue specifically surged 71%, while CEO Alex Karp described a &#8220;tectonic shift&#8221; in software adoption.
Price Action: Palantir closed at $117.30 on Friday, down 1.55% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped another 0.49% to $116.72. Year to date, Palantir shares have surged 56%.
Palantir Technologies shows strong growth and momentum, but ranks low on valuation metrics, according to Benzinga Stock Edge Rankings. PLTR shares exhibit a positive price trend across both short- and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Check the detailed report here</a>.

PLTR Stock Remains Long-Term Buy Despite Sky-High Valuation, Says Prime Capital's McGough—Joins Dan Ives In Predicting $1 Trillion Market Cap Amid AI Surge

Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) CEO David Risher&#8216;s leadership strategy, shaped by his decade working under tech titans Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, has propelled the ride-sharing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45309828/gary-black-says-lyft-is-worthy-of-increased-investment-following-q1-earnings-call">company to record performance in 2024</a>.
What Happened: Risher, who joined Lyft as CEO in 2023, credits a specific lesson from Gates that&#8217;s proven transformative: focus more on weaknesses than strengths.
&#8220;From Microsoft, I learned how to compete&#8230; From Amazon, I learned how to obsess over customers,&#8221; Risher wrote in his 2023 letter to employees. This approach has yielded impressive results, with Lyft posting record-high annual ride numbers last year.
In a March 2024 interview <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/lessons-learned-lyft-ceo-draws-industry-titans-jeff-bezos-bill-gates">with</a> Fox Business, Risher described a &#8220;revealing&#8221; moment watching Gates at a 1990s executive conference. When asked about Microsoft Excel&#8217;s future, Gates responded: &#8220;I don&#8217;t spend any of my time thinking about Excel because I know that right now we&#8217;ve got around 60% market share, and I know that&#8217;s going to go to 80 or 90&#8230; I don&#8217;t have to worry about that.&#8221;
This insight showed Risher that Gates created more value by focusing on areas needing improvement rather than successful products.

Why It Matters: At Lyft, Risher has applied this philosophy by personally identifying weaknesses in the company&#8217;s business model. &#8220;Every six weeks or so, I open my Lyft Driver app and hit the road,&#8221; he wrote in an April shareholder letter, noting this hands-on approach helps him understand driver experiences and customer frustrations.
Following rider complaints about surge pricing, Risher directed his team to increase driver supply and develop a feature allowing riders to lock in prices during frequent commute periods.
&#8220;By the end of 2024, we could see that these were the right investments when drivers chose us at record rates,&#8221; Risher wrote, attributing the company&#8217;s success to addressing shortcomings.
The strategy appears to be working. Lyft recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45309828/gary-black-says-lyft-is-worthy-of-increased-investment-following-q1-earnings-call">reported first-quarter of 2025 earnings</a> of 1 cent per share versus an expected 1-cent loss, with rides growing 16% year-over-year to 218.4 million. The company&#8217;s board also authorized an increased share repurchase program totaling $750 million.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never met a great leader who isn&#8217;t curious about the details,&#8221; Risher noted, emphasizing that successful leadership requires diving into troubled areas rather than avoiding them.
Price Action: Lyft stock closed at $16.65 on Friday, up 28.08% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock inched up another 0.30% to $16.70. Year to date, Lyft shares have gained 21.98%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Lyft CEO Says He Learnt 'How To Compete' From Bill Gates And 'How To Obsess Over Customers' From Jeff Bezos —Now His Focus On Weaknesses Over Strengths Drives Record Rides, Earnings Beat, And 28% Stock Surge In Single Session

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has reportedly instructed workers on Model Y and Cybertruck production lines at its Austin factory to stay home during Memorial Day week, marking an unusually extended break as the automaker grapples with declining deliveries.
What Happened: Workers, who are paid hourly, were notified earlier this week that they could either use paid time off or report for cleaning and training duties, but wouldn&#8217;t work on production lines. Employees indicated production schedules have been increasingly inconsistent since February, with many sent home early multiple times, three employees <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-model-y-cybertruck-workers-stay-home-memorial-day-2025-5">told</a> Business Insider.
The production pause follows Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44607859/teslas-deliveries-slide-in-q1-amid-production-setbacks-political-backlash">first-quarter delivery decline</a> of 13% year-over-year and comes amid mounting inventory concerns. The company produced nearly 26,000 more vehicles than it delivered in the first quarter, despite already reducing production by approximately 100,000 units compared to the previous quarter.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: &#8220;If the ship of America goes down, Tesla will go with it,&#8221; CEO Elon Musk warned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45332420/if-the-ship-of-america-goes-down-tesla-will-go-with-it-elon-musk-says-hes-refocusing-on-tesla-after-71-profit-drop">during an April earnings call</a> after the company reported a 71% plunge in net income to $409 million. Tesla&#8217;s core automotive revenue tumbled 20% to $14 billion.
Cybertruck has faced particular challenges, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45216453/tesla-has-over-10000-units-of-unsold-cybertrucks-in-its-us-inventory-amid-poor-sales-report">reports suggesting over 10,000 units remain unsold</a>. The company has delivered fewer than 50,000 Cybertrucks as of March, according to a voluntary recall notice.
The company has introduced discounts on the refreshed Model Y launched in January and released a cheaper variant this week as it attempts to stimulate demand.
Price Action: Tesla&#8217;s stock closed at $298.26 on Friday, up 4.72% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose slightly to $299.29, gaining an additional 0.35%. Year to date, Tesla shares are down 21.36%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Workers Told To Stay Home As Elon Musk's EV Giant Extends Memorial Day Break Following 13% Delivery Drop And Surging Inventory: Report

Citadel founder Ken Griffin is sounding the alarm on President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies, warning they have &#8220;unleashed an era of crony capitalism&#8221; where the government picks &#8220;winners and losers&#8221; in the economy.
What Happened: &#8220;Tariffs open the doors to crony capitalism,&#8221; Griffin <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/08/griffin-trump-tariffs-milken-wall-street-00335374">told</a> Politico at the Milken Institute&#8217;s Global Conference. &#8220;I thought that would play out over the course of years. It&#8217;s terrifying to watch this play out over the course of weeks.&#8221;
The hedge fund billionaire&#8217;s criticism reflects growing concerns among Wall Street executives that the escalating trade war could derail economic growth despite the administration&#8217;s promises of prosperity. His comments come as the U.S. grapples with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">record $140 billion trade deficit in March</a>.
Griffin, a longtime GOP megadonor, expressed particular concern about the administration&#8217;s selective exemptions for certain industries. The dollar&#8217;s recent decline, he noted, will soon weaken American consumer purchasing power.
&#8220;Whether it&#8217;s a flat-screen TV or a new laptop, your dollar is just not going to go as far,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;This starts unfolding in the next couple weeks.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Bank of America&#8216;s chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett predicts tariffs may be reduced this quarter, warning that Treasury yields above 5% could jeopardize the deficit-financed growth strategy. JPMorgan Chase recently raised its recession odds to 60% from 40%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">citing supply-chain disruptions</a>.
The impact is already being felt across sectors. Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley announced tariffs could cost the automaker $1.5 billion, forcing the company to withdraw its earnings guidance. Major ports report Chinese shipments have &#8220;essentially ceased,&#8221; with retailers facing five to seven weeks of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45217767/ford-ceo-jim-farley-says-trumps-tariffs-could-cost-ford-1-5-billion-pulls-its-earnings-guidance">inventory before shortages emerge</a>.
Despite these concerns, some Trump allies remain optimistic. Former presidential adviser Gary Cohn told Milken Conference attendees, &#8220;We&#8217;ve lived through depressions. We&#8217;ve lived through recessions&#8230; Every time, when we thought it was really bad, it got a lot better.&#8221;
For Griffin, who has previously criticized Trump, the risk is clear: &#8220;We all want to see the president succeed&#8230; There&#8217;s that fine line between constructive criticism and just being toxic.&#8221;

GOP Megadonor Ken Griffin Warns Trump Tariffs Are 'Terrifying,' Says Government Is Picking 'Winners And Losers' Amid Soaring Trade Deficit

Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe identified a potentially significant market signal Friday, noting that altcoins could be poised for a dramatic recovery against Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: &#8220;The bull market is the biggest reward of 4 years suffering. Within a window of a few months, your Altcoins can erase all the losses,&#8221; van de Poppe wrote on X. &#8220;The Altcoin market capitalization against Bitcoin is still massively bullish. The longest bullish divergence in history.&#8221;
The analyst&#8217;s comments come as Bitcoin trades near $103,023, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.04 trillion. 
Meanwhile, the CMC Altcoin Season Index currently sits at 39/100, firmly in &#8220;Bitcoin Season&#8221; territory, which indicates Bitcoin has outperformed most alternative cryptocurrencies over the past 90 days, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The CMC Altcoin Season Index, which tracks the performance of the top 100 altcoins relative to Bitcoin, currently shows divergent performance across the altcoin market. 
While some tokens like Four (FORM) have posted gains exceeding 480% over 90 days, many large-cap altcoins, including Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), have underperformed Bitcoin during this period.

여행 업계가 예상치 못한 난기류를 겪으면서 여행에 초점을 맞춘 ETF가 흔들리고 있다. 항공사가 매출 전망치를 낮추고, 예약 플랫폼이 어려움을 겪고, 호텔과 크루즈 선사의 주가가 하락하면서 여행 ETF 투자자들은 포트폴리오 하락을 지켜보고 있다. 여행 섹터를 추적하면서 압박을 받고 있는 세 가지 ETF는 다음과 같다.
<h3>1. U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)</h3>
U.S. Global Jets ETF는 항공사에 대한 노출을 제공하는 ETF로 델타항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), 아메리칸항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NYSE">AAL</a>), 사우스웨스트항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NASDAQ">LUV</a>) 같은 주요 항공사 주식을 보유하고 있다. 델타항공과 아메리칸항공은 수요 부진으로 수익 전망을 하향 조정하면서, JETS ETF는 하락세를 보이고 있다. 델타의 기업 및 레저 여행 둔화 경고는 항공 산업이 힘든 길을 걷고 있다는 우려를 더욱 부추겼다. 이 ETF는 지난 한 달 동안 16% 하락했다.
<h3>2. ETFMG Travel Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AWAY#NYSE">AWAY</a>)</h3>
ETFMG Travel Tech ETF는 익스피디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>), 부킹 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>), 에어비앤비(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) 같은 온라인 여행 및 예약 회사를 추적한다. 익스피디아는 이번 주 S&amp;P 500에서 가장 저조한 성과를 보이며 8% 하락했다. 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/03/44237055/delta-air-lines-cuts-q1-guidance-below-estimates-airline-stocks-fall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">주요 항공사들이 수익 전망을 하향 조정한 후</a> 발생한 일이다. 동시에 에어비앤비는 소비자들이 예산을 긴축할 경우 단기 임대 수요에 영향을 미칠 것이라는 우려로 6% 이상 하락했다. 이 ETF는 지난 한 달 동안 9% 떨어졌다.
<h3>3. Invesco Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEJ#NYSE">PEJ</a>)</h3>
Invesco Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment ETF는 호텔, 크루즈 라인 및 엔터테인먼트 회사를 포함하여 더 넓은 범위의 여행 관련 주식을 다룬다. 안타깝게도 메리어트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>), 힐튼(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>), 하얏트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) 같은 호텔 주식이 압박을 받고 있으며, 노르웨이안 크루즈 라인(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>), 카니발(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), 바이킹 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIK#NYSE">VIK</a>) 같은 크루즈 운영사들도 하락세를 보이고 있다. PEJ ETF는 소비자 재량 지출에 크게 연관되어 있기 때문에 여행 심리의 둔화가 영향을 미쳤다. 이 ETF의 가격은 지난 한 달 동안 14% 하락했다.
<h3>여행 주식 하락의 원인은?</h3>
광범위한 시장 압력이 여행주를 압박하고 있다. 최근 영국의 벤치마크 지수인 FTSE 100은 여행 및 레저 주식의 하락으로 인해 거의 두 달 만에 최저치를 기록했다. 델타항공의 경고 이후 영국항공 소유주인 IAG는 6.1% 하락했고, 영국 전체 여행 업종은 3.1% 하락했다.
지정학적 요인도 영향을 미치고 있다. 철강 및 알루미늄 수입 관세 인상 등 미국의 관세 정책으로 촉발된 변동성이 시장의 불안감을 가중시켰다. 영국 정부는 보복하지 않기로 했지만, 무역 정책을 둘러싼 불확실성으로 인해 이미 어려움을 겪고 있는 여행주들의 상황이 더욱 악화되고 있다.

세부 사항: 델타항공은 3월 분기의 총 매출이 전년 동기 대비 3%에서 4% 증가할 것으로 예상한다고 밝혔다. 이는 이전의 7%에서 9% 성장 전망치보다 낮은 수치다. 또한 주당 예상 EPS를 70센트에서 1달러로 예상했던 이전 가이던스보다 낮은 30센트에서 50센트 사이로 하향 조정했다.
델타항공은 최근의 경제 불확실성 속에서 소비자 신뢰도가 하락하면서 내수 수요가 위축되어 전망이 악화되었다고 전했다.
델타항공 CEO인 에드 바스티안(Ed Bastian)은 CNBC와의 인터뷰에서 기업과 소비자 지출이 감소하기 시작했고, 최근의 항공 안전 사고가 예약에도 영향을 미쳤다고 말했다.
항공사 부문: 델타의 발표 이후 다른 항공사 주식들도 급락했다. 월요일 애프터마켓에서 아메리칸항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>)과 유나이티드항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) 주식은 각각 8.16% 하락, 9.19% 하락하고 있다.
투자자는 U.S. Global Jets ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)를 통해 항공사 산업을 모니터링할 수 있다. 이 ETF는 항공사 운영사, 항공기 제조사, 공항 및 터미널 서비스 회사 등 글로벌 항공사 산업에 대한 다양한 노출을 제공한다.

최근 항공 산업은 유가 변동성 증가로 인해 불안정한 상황을 겪고 있다. 3월 6일 브렌트 원유 가격이 배럴당 70달러 이하로 떨어졌다가 3월 7일 급격히 반등하면서 항공사 주식과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">섹터 중심 ETF</a>는 롤러코스터를 탄 셈이다. 투자자들은 항공사 운영의 주요 요소인 에너지 비용이 항공 시장 전반에 미치는 영향을 면밀히 주시하고 있다.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">주목해야 할 항공 중심 ETF 세 가지</h3>
U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) – 금요일 종가 기준으로 0.99% 하락했다.
이 펀드는 주요 항공사, 항공기 제조사 및 공항 운영사에 대한 노출을 제공하는 가장 인기 있는 항공 ETF 중 하나이다. 이 펀드는 델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), 아메리칸 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) 및 사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)과 같은 글로벌 항공사들의 주식을 보유하고 있다. JETS는 유가 변동성 속에서 어려움을 겪고 있지만, 다양한 접근 방식을 통해 투자자들에게 항공 산업에 대한 폭넓은 노출을 제공한다.
iShares Transportation Average ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#BATS">IYT</a>) – 금요일 종가 기준으로 0.69% 상승했다.
비록 항공사들에만 집중된 것은 아니지만, iShares Transportation Average ETF는 항공 주식에 상당한 비중을 두고 있으며, 철도, 트럭 운송 및 물류 회사들도 포함되어 있다. 연료 비용이 운송 부문 전반에 미치는 중요성을 감안할 때, IYT의 성과는 유가 변동과 밀접하게 연관되어 있어, 더 넓은 운송 분야에 대한 투자를 원하는 투자자에게 흥미로운 선택이 된다.
SPDR S&amp;P Transportation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTN#NYSE">XTN</a>) – 금요일 종가 기준으로 0.01% 상승했다.
이 펀드는 항공사, 철도 및 해운 회사를 포함한 미국 운송 주식의 동등 가중 지수를 추적한다. 이 ETF는 주요 항공사들에 중점을 두고 있는 JETS에 비해 보다 균형 잡힌 접근 방식을 제공한다. 결과적으로, XTN은 유가 변동성 기간 동안 투자자에게 더 안정적인 수익을 제공할 수 있다.

유가를 흔드는 요인은?
최근 유가가 크게 변동하는 것은 주로 지정학적 및 경제적 요인 때문이다.
미국 항공사 주식은 경제적 우려를 나타내는 데이터가 발표된 후에 다시 하락하여 지난해 말 이후 최저 수준으로 떨어졌다. 유나이티드 항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)은 미국 항공사들 중 중국 노출이 가장 높은 항공사로 금요일 3.93% 하락 마감했고, 델타 항공도 3.06% 하락 마감했다. 아메리칸 항공은 금요일 1.66% 하락 마감했으며, 국내 중심의 항공사인 제트블루는 지난 화요일에 거의 6% 하락했다.
특히 광범위한 국제 네트워크를 가진 풀서비스 항공사들은 강한 수요와 완만한 국내 비행 성장 덕분에 잘 운영되고 있었다. 그러나 일부 애널리스트들은 이제 특히 가격에 민감한 고객을 위한 수요에 영향이 있을 수 있다고 예상하고 있으며, 이는 중요한 봄 여행 시즌을 앞두고 발생하는 일이다. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/airline-stocks-tumble-amid-economic-concerns.html#:~:text=Airline%20stocks%20fall%20as%20possible%20economic%20'soft%20patch'%20raises%20demand%20concerns,-Published%20Tue%2C%20Mar&amp;text=U.S.%20airline%20stocks%20tumbled%20to,to%20recent%20Commerce%20Department%20data.">CNBC에 따르면</a> 소비자 지출이 1월에 거의 2년 만에 처음으로 감소했다.
그러나 금요일에 미국이 전략비축유를 최대 용량으로 재충전할 계획을 밝혔다는 보도가 나오면서 유가 선물이 반등하였고, 이는 글로벌 공급을 긴축시켰다고 <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/2025/03/07/us-energy-chief-plans-to-seek-20b-to-refill-oil-reserve/">BNN 블룸버그</a>가 전했다.
이러한 일시적인 반등에도 불구하고, 원유 가격은 지난주 동안 약세를 보였으며, 미국 기준 유가는 7주 연속 하락세를 보였다.
항공사 주식의 반응
S&amp;P 500 항공사 산업 지수는 이러한 가격 변동의 영향을 받아 금요일 2.94% 하락 마감했으며, 나스닥 글로벌 스마트 항공사 지수는 0.98% 하락 마감 했다.
유가 상승은 일반적으로 항공사의 연료비 상승으로 이어져 마진을 압박하고 수익성에 영향을 미친다. 그러나 이번 주 유가가 약세를 보였음에도 불구하고 항공 부문에 노출된 ETF는 압박을 받고 있어 주식에 영향을 미치는 다른 요인이 작용하고 있음을 나타낸다. 유가가 약세를 유지하면 항공사 수익이 증가할 수 있어, 이러한 추세를 활용하려는 투자자에게 항공 ETF가 흥미로운 선택이 될 수 있다.

항공 산업이 2024년에 급성장하며, 심지어 고공행진 중인 기술 섹터도 제치고 있다. 항공사 섹터를 추적하는 U.S. Global Jets ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)는 12월 27일 기준으로 연초 대비 36.50% 상승했으며, 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">나스닥 100의 29.79% 상승</a>과 비교된다.
이번 급증은 프리미엄 여행에 대한 강력한 수요, 전략적 운영 변화, 그리고 폭발적인 연휴 교통량을 반영한다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">여행 열풍이 항공사 ETF를 끌어올리다</h3>
올해 추수감사절은 항공사 주식에 중요한 전환점을 마련했다. 6일간의 여행 기간 동안 TSA가 약 1,830만 명의 승객을 검색하여 2023년 대비 6% 증가한 수치를 기록했다. 이는 JETS ETF를 11월 동안 거의 6% 상승시키는 원인이 되었다.
&#8220;순수 소비자 플레이로서 JETS는 투자자들이 연휴 여행 성수기를 활용할 수 있는 방법이다. 올해는 기록적인 수치를 예상하고 있다,&#8221;고 최근 켄트 툰(Kent Thune), ETF.com 연구원이 말했다.
전문가는 최근 ETF의 상승을 연료비 하락과 강한 계절적 수요 덕분으로 분석했다. 8월 이후, JETS ETF는 기술주 중심의 Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)를 31% 포인트 격차로 제쳤다.
JETS의 포트폴리오는 미국 항공사들에 중점을 두고 있으며, 70%를 차지한다. 여기에는 아메리칸 항공 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>)에 10%, 저가 항공사 사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)에 8.5%가 포함된다. 또한, 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), 익스피디아 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) 그리고 트립어드바이저(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>)와 같은 소규모 포지션도 포함되어 있다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">프리미엄 수요가 산업을 재정의하다</h3>
델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)과 유나이티드 에어라인 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)는 각각 시장 점유율 기준으로 두 번째와 네 번째로 큰 미국 항공사로, 올해 각각 53%와 140% 상승하는 뛰어난 성과를 보였다. 이들은 JETS 보유 종목의 26% 이상을 차지한다.
파일럿 급여 인상과 유지비 증가라는 비용 압박에도 불구하고, 항공사들은 프리미엄 여행 옵션에 대한 수요가 급증하면서 번창했다. 델타는 최근 고급 서비스 확대 계획을 발표하고, 프리미엄 항공권 수익이 일반석 판매를 초과할 것으로 예상하여 산업의 수익 구조를 재편하고 있다.
&#8220;프리미엄 수익 추세는 지난 몇 년 동안 일반석보다 우세하게 나타났다&#8221;고 캐서린 오브라이언(Catharine O&#8217;Brien), 골드만삭스 애널리스트가 말했다.
&#8220;항공사들은 프리미엄 수요를 분리하여 일반석 프리미엄 이코노미 좌석에서 평면 비즈니스 클래스, 국제 프리미엄 이코노미 및 국내 퍼스트 클래스로 더 많은 프리미엄 수요 세그먼트를 제공하고 있다&#8221;고 그녀가 덧붙였다.
애널리스트는 프리미엄 여행에 노출되고 전략적 용량 개선이 이루어진 항공사들, 즉 델타, 알래스카 에어 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) 그리고 유나이티드가 내년에도 우수한 성과를 낼 것으로 예상했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">차트: 항공사 주식이 대형 기술주를 제치다</h3>

골드만삭스에 따르면, 높은 리스 연장률과 판매 이익이 수익성을 높이고 있으며, 애널리스트들은 2025년 리스업체들의 자기자본 수익률이 개선될 것으로 예상하고 있다.
&#8220;2025년을 바라보면, 많은 동일한 주제가 지속될 것으로 예상되며, 항공기 가용성의 변동성과 단위 비용 인플레이션이 계속되지만 둔화될 것이다&#8221;라고 오브라이언이 말했다.

2024년 항공주가 기술주를 능가: '올해 휴일 여행은 기록을 경신할 것으로 예상'

모건 스탠리 애널리스트들은 미국 항공사 산업이 2025년에 큰 성공을 거둘 준비를 하고 있다고 말하며, 항공사들이 &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airlines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">산업을 수익성 있게</a> 만드는 완벽한 호재의 폭풍&#8221;의 경계선에 있다고 예측했다.
주식 애널리스트 라비 샹커(Ravi Shanker)는 수요일 메모에서 항공사 산업에 대한 긍정적인 입장을 재확인했다.
올해 U.S. Global Jets ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)는 연초 대비 36% 상승하여, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)로 추적되는 더 넓은 주식 시장보다 약 9%포인트 더 높은 성과를 기록했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">프리미엄 항공사들, 또 하나의 뛰어난 해를 예고</h3>
샹커는 &#8220;수요가 회복세를 유지하고 물량 성장이 있을 것으로 예상한다&#8221;고 말했다. 유나이티드 항공 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)과 델타 항공(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)과 같은 전통적인 항공사들은 애널리스트들이 &#8220;프리미엄화 트렌드&#8221;라고 부르는 것의 혜택을 보고 있다.
모건 스탠리에 따르면, 이러한 항공사들은 단순한 항공권 판매뿐만 아니라 로열티 프로그램, 신용 카드 및 브랜드 제휴 등 꾸준한 부가 수익원에서도 혜택을 보고 있다.
2024년에 UAL의 주가는 150% 이상 상승하여 모건 스탠리가 목표 주가를 $88에서 $130으로 상향 조정했다. 그러나 이와 같은 비범한 상승은 추가적인 이익을 위한 높은 장벽을 설정한다.
알래스카 에어 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>)은 최근 투자자 회의에서 &#8220;확대된 시너지 목표&#8221;를 발표한 후 2025년 모건 스탠리의 최우선 추천주로 올라갔으며, 목표 주가가 $90으로 상향 조정되었다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">국내 항공사들, 재기 노리다</h3>
2024년에 프리미엄 항공사들이 지배적이었던 반면, 여러 국내 중심 항공사들은 재기를 모색하고 있다. 제트블루(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>)와 사우스웨스트 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>)과 같은 저가 및 초저가 항공사들은 운영 문제와 구조조정 노력으로 어려운 한 해를 겪었다.
모건 스탠리는 &#8220;2024년에 몇몇 국내 항공사들이 사업 모델을 근본적으로 변화시켜 비행 횟수를 줄이고, 비행 방식을 변경하며, 요금을 패키지화하고 고급 시장으로 이동했다&#8221;고 강조했다.
이러한 항공사들이 운영을 안정화하고 전년 대비 쉬운 비교를 통해 강한 회복세를 보일 준비를 하고 있다.
모건 스탠리는 JBLU에 대한 커버리지를 &#8216;중립&#8217;으로 재개하고 12개월 목표 주가를 $8로 설정했다.
샹커는 &#8220;제트포워드(JetForward) 계획의 요소들을 긍정적으로 생각하지만, 다른 국내 항공사들보다 경영진의 통제 밖의 요소들이 더 많아 회복은 더딜 가능성이 높다&#8221;고 적었다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">산업 지표, 2025년에 긍정적 신호</h3>
모건 스탠리는 2025년이 좌석당 가용 매출(RASM)이 좌석당 가용 비용(CASM)을 초과하는 첫 번째 지속적인 기간이 될 것으로 예상한다.
이러한 역학은 모든 항공사들의 마진을 증가시킬 것으로 예상되며, 이는 이전 팬데믹 해들과는 정반대의 상황이다.
애널리스트들은 산업의 중간 단위 성장(MSD)을 예측하며, 이는 저단위 성장(LSD) 수준의 용량 성장 제한에 의해 지원된다.
항공유 가격이 갤런당 2달러 초반대로 2026년까지 머무를 것으로 예상되면서, 항공사들에게 중요한 비용 안정성을 제공하는 유리한 항공유 환경이 낙관론을 부추긴다.
모건 스탠리는 &#8220;가격이 하락할 경우 이익으로 직접 이어질 수 있는 산업의 달콤한 지점이며, 용량이 합리적으로 유지될 수 있는 추가 인센티브를 제공한다&#8221;고 메모에서 썼다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">투자자 심리: 기회와 위험</h3>
2024년의 강력한 성과에도 불구하고 항공사들의 밸류에이션은 여전히 매력적이다. ALK, AAL 그리고 DAL과 같은 주식은 역사적 수익 배수 이하로 거래되고 있어 매력적인 상승 잠재력을 제공한다.
그러나 거시경제적 역풍과 2025년 하반기 소비 지출 둔화 가능성 등 위험이 도사리고 있다.
모건 스탠리는 또한 기관 투자자들의 복귀를 긍정적인 촉매제로 지적했다. &#8220;10년 만에 처음으로 대규모 자본이 돌아오는 가능성은 2025년 주식 상승의 또 다른 발판을 마련할 수 있다&#8221;고 샹커가 말했다.

미국 항공사들은 2025년에 이륙 준비 중, 분석가는 '호재의 폭풍이 산업 성장을 촉진할 것'

짐 크레이머는 항공사들이 수송 능력 관리에 있어 규율을 유지한다면 항공사 주식의 지속적인 강세 가능성이 있다고 본다. 그의 분석은 주요 항공사들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42365072/why-archer-aviation-stock-is-gaining-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 몇 달 동안</a> 주가가 크게 상승한 가운데 나온 것이었다.
무슨 일 있었나: 델타항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), 유나이티드항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), 아메리칸항공(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>)은 최근 저점에서 여러 가지 호재의 영향으로 강하게 반등했다.
짐 크레이머는 CNBC에서 항공 부문의 회복이 거시경제적 요인과 산업별 발전에 의해 뒷받침되고 있다고 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/09/airline-stocks-could-keep-running-if-capacity-control-jim-cramer-says.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">강조했다</a>. 그는 월요일 방송에서 "이 같은 강세는 수송 능력 조절이 유지되는 한 계속될 수 있다"고 말했다. "현재로서는 이 항공사들 모두 올바른 말을 하고 있다.&#8221;
항공 업계는 전통적인 호황-불황 사이클에서 벗어날 수 있는 구조적 변화를 겪고 있다. 크레이머는 스피릿항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>)과 사우스웨스트항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) 같은 저가 항공사의 경쟁이 줄어들고 있다고 지적했다. 저가 항공사들이 확장 계획을 축소하면서 항공 산업은 구조적 변화를 겪고 있다.
또한, 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)의 제조 지연으로 인해 업계의 수송 능력이 자연스럽게 제한되었다.

왜 중요한가:  팬데믹 이후 비즈니스 여행의 재개와 잠재적인 연준 금리인하도 항공 섹터의 전망을 더욱 강화했다. 그러나 짐 크레이머는 항공사들이 역사적으로 장기 투자보다는 거래 수단으로 더 좋은 성과를 거뒀다고 언급하며 자신의 전형적인 신중함을 유지했다.

짐 크레이머는 &#8220;내 직감은 음악이 멈추기 전에 현금을 회수할 때일지도 모른다고 말한다&#8221;며 업계의 역학에 구조적 변화가 있을 가능성을 인정하며 조언했다.

짐 크레이머, 구조적 변화 속 "항공사 주식 강세 계속될 수 있어"

주요 항공사 유나이티드 항공(유나이티드 에어라인 홀딩스) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4월 16일</a>(미국 현지 시간), 시장이 마감한 뒤에 올해 1분기 실적을 발표할 예정이다.
이것은 실적 추정치와 주목할 만한 핵심 항목에 대한 개요이다.
이익 추정치: <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/feature/newsfeed/?gspk=bHVrZWphY29iaTUzNDg&amp;gsxid=tdEE0VrK8Jeg&amp;ref=lukejacobi5348">Benzinga Pro의 데이터</a>에 따르면, 분석가들은 유나이티드 항공의 올해 1분기 매출이 124.5억 달러로 예상하고 있다.
지난해 같은 기간에 이 회사의 매출은 114.29억 달러를 기록했었다. 유나이티드 항공은 지난 6분기 연속으로 월가 매출 예상치를 웃돌았다.
분석가들은 이 항공사가 1분기에 주당 56센트의 손실을 보고할 것으로 예상하고 있는데, 이는 전년 동기의 주당 63센트 손실과 비교된다. 이 회사는 6분기 연속으로 애널리스트들의 예상 주당 순이익을 넘어섰다.
주목할 만한 항목들: 이번 실적 발표는 경쟁사인 델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)이 이익과 매출을 모두 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38179955/delta-air-lines-sets-growth-trajectory-prioritizes-debt-reduction-after-strong-q1">월가의 추정치를 모두 상회한</a> 직후에 나온다. 델타는 최근 분기별 실적 보고서 이후 여러 분석가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DAL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">목표 가격</a>이 증가한 것을 확인했다.
다음은 유나이티드 항공에 대한 최근 애널리스트 평가와 목표 주가이다:
서스퀘하나(Susquehanna): 긍정 평가, 60달러에서 55달러로 목표 주가 하향
UBS: 중립 평가 개시, 목표 주가 47달러
유나이티드 항공의 실적 발표는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airline-stocks">항공 부문</a>이 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)이 만든 항공기에 대한 좌절과 우려에 직면한 가운데 나온 것이다.
유나이티드는 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38108255/safety-saga-investigators-reportedly-scrutinize-united-pilots-braking-technique-following-runway">안전 우려</a> 문제로 인해 5월 1일로 예정된 투자자의 날을 연기하고 날짜를 가을로 연기한다고 발표했다. 투자자들은 새로운 날짜가 발표되는지 확인하기 위해 수익 보고서를 지켜볼 수 있다.
항공 부문을 추적하는 U.S. Global JETS ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)는 지난 1년 동안 6.7% 상승한 반면, 유나이티드 항공 주식은 지난 1년 동안 3.2% 상승했다. 유나이티드 항공은 10.5%로 ETF에서 두 번째로 큰 위치를 차지한다.
이 ETF에서 가장 큰 지분을 차지하는 라이벌 델타 항공은 지난 1년 동안 주가가 38% 상승하는 등 해당 부문을 능가하는 성과를 거두었다.
유나이티드의 강력한 실적 보고서는 해당 부문과 동등한 수준을 유지하거나 동종 기업인 델타의 성과에 더 가까워질 수 있는 잠재적인 가치 상승으로 이어질 수 있다.
UAL 주가 움직임: 유나이티드 항공 주식은 52주 최고가와 최저가가 각각 33.68달러와 58.23달러이다. 주가는 41.04달러로 1.82% 하락하며 월요일을 마감했다.

유나이티드 항공 1분기 실적 미리보기: 분석가 예측, 안전 문제, 델타에 비해 실적 부진

미국 대형 항공사 델타 항공 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024년 4월 10일</a> 수요일 시장 개장 전 1분기 실적을 발표할 예정이다.
주요 실적 추정치, 분석가 평가 및 주목해야 할 중요 사항을 살펴보자.
실적 추정치: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">Benzinga Pro의 데이터</a>에 따르면, 델타 항공이 1분기 매출 125.47억 달러를 발표할 것으로 예상된다.
지난해 같은 시기 델타 항공의 매출은 127.59억달러였다. 델타는 지난 10분기 연속하여 분석가들의 매출 예상치를 뛰어넘었다.
분석가들은 델타 항공이 1분기 주당 35센트의 이익을 보고할 것으로 예상하는데, 이는 지난해 같은 시기의 25센트 주당 이익 대비 증가한 수치이다.
이 회사는 최근 다섯 분기 중 네 분기에서 주당 순이익을 넘어섰으며, 그 중에서도 세 분기 연속으로 넘었다.
델타 항공은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37627151/whats-going-on-with-delta-air-lines-stock">최근 1분기</a> 주당 순이익이 25센트에서 50센트 범위 내에 들 것으로 예상된다고 밝혔다. 회사는 연간 주당 순이익이 6달러에서 7달러 범위 내에 있을 것으로 가이드했다.
애널리스트 평가: 몇몇 분석가들은 분기별 사업보고서 발표에 앞서 델타 항공의 목표가를 높였다.
델타 항공의 가장 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DAL/analyst-ratings">애널리스트 평가</a>에 대한 정보는 다음과 같다.
뱅크오브아메리카: 50달러에서 53달러로 주가 목표가 상향 조정, 매수 등급 유지.
모건 스탠리: 77달러에서 85달러로 주가 목표가 상향 조정, 비중확대 등급 유지.
UBS: 52달러의 주가 목표가, 매수 등급으로 시작.
주목할만한 항목 (Key Items to Watch): 항공부문이 보잉(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)의 비행기와 비행기 안전에 대한 고객 우려로 인해 2024년 동안 발행과 하락을 반복하고 있다는 것이다.
델타 주식은 2024년에 항공부문에서 더 나은 성과 중 하나로, 강력한 실적 발표가 긍정적인 모멘텀을 이어 나갈 수 있을 것이다.
델타가 최근 737 Max 10 기종 항공기의 납품을 2025년에서 2027년으로 연기할 것으로 예상했다는 발표 내용 또한 주목할만한 항목이 될 수 있다. 델타는 이 기종의 항공기 100대를 주문했다.
또 하나 주목할만한 항목은 델타가 강한 3월 실적을 발표했다고 주장하는 바와, 기업 수요가 부활하고 있다는 발표 내용이다.
4월 8일 일식은 특히 델타에 대해 주목받은 이벤트 중 하나였는데, 이는 일식의 경로를 따라간 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37218350/high-flying-eclipse-adventure-secure-your-seat-on-this-airline-for-the-ultimate-solar-spectacle">델타의 항공기</a> 이벤트였다. 이 이벤트가 하루에 단 한번 일어나는 일이라는 것을 생각하면, 이 이벤트에 대한 기타 항공편이 델타 주변의 주요 경로를 통해 강한 티켓 판매 또는 전반적인 강력한 여행 증가를 본 것으로 예상됩니다.
U.S. 글로벌 제트 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>)는 지난 해 동안 11.4% 상승하고, 2024년 1월 1일부터 기준으로 7.3% 상승했다. 델타는 이 ETF에서 가장 큰 비중을 차지한다.
한편 델타 주식은 작년 동안 40.9% 상승하고, 올해 17.2% 상승했다.
DAL 주가 움직임: 델타 주식은 월요일 2.06% 상승한 47.01달러에 마감했다. 1년간의 거래 범위는 30.60달러이다.
