CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Chewy, Wabtec, Crown Castle, JP Morgan Chase & Co.

April tends to be a favorable month for U.S. equities, and history makes a compelling case for this. Over the past 95 years, the S&amp;P 500 has gained an average of 1.1% in April, finishing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">higher 61% of the time.</a>
In April, the index notched some of its most powerful monthly rallies in history, surging 43.6% in April 1933 and 17.9% in April 2020. Yet, it&#8217;s not always been a smooth ride — the worst April returns were a 20% crash in 1932 and a 9.5% drop in 1970.
Zooming in on the past three decades, April's track record becomes even more convincing. 
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), the benchmark ETF tracking the S&amp;P 500, delivered an average gain of 1.9% over the last 30 Aprils, making it the second-best month of the year after November. SPY ended April in the green 77% of the time.
That said, 2025 has started on a cautious note. Through March 26, the S&amp;P 500 is down about 3% year-to-date. 
Yet history suggests a seasonal tailwind could soon be at play — especially in four specific sectors that have consistently outperformed the broader market in April.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financials (XLF): Banks Lead The Earnings Charge</h3>
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) has historically been April&#8217;s top-performing sector. 
Since its inception in 1999, XLF has risen an average of 2.7% during the month, with gains coming in 65% of the time. The seasonal strength is largely tied to the first-quarter earnings season, which kicks off in April and is typically led by major banks. Optimism surrounding annual earnings outlooks often provides a boost.
XLF has already outperformed the broader market in 2025, gaining 4.5% year-to-date. Within the sector, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) stands out: Over the past 45 years, JPM shares have climbed an average of 2.6% in April, delivering positive returns 68% of the time.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Discretionary (XLY): Big Tech Retailers Deliver Spring Strength</h3>
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) also posted a strong seasonal performance, rising 2.4% on average in April over the last 26 years. It has a 65% winning rate during the month.
April is historically the best month for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), with an average gain of 7.6% and a 70% success rate. 
Likewise, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) tends to accelerate this time of year, with April returns averaging 5.9%, making it the second-strongest month for the electric vehicle maker, behind only November's 11.9% surge.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Materials (XLB): A Solid Spring For Commodities And Chemicals</h3>
The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>) also delivered strong April sector performers. XLB has risen an average of 3.1% in April over the past 26 years, with a 65% win rate. The ETF is up about 3% year-to-date, suggesting some early momentum heading into April.
One heavyweight in the materials space, Linde plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIN#NYSE">LIN</a>) — which represents roughly 20% of XLB's holdings — has consistently delivered in April. With 32 years of historical data, Linde has averaged a 3.5% gain in the month and ended April in positive territory 69% of the time.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy (XLE): The Strongest April Performer</h3>
Energy stocks have historically delivered the most robust gains in April, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) averaging a 4.1% return and closing the month higher 62% of the time. 
Yet, it&#8217;s worth noting that this impressive figure is skewed by an extraordinary rebound in April 2020, when XLE surged nearly 30% following a historic 35% plunge in March 2020 — a period marked by collapsing oil prices and pandemic-driven market chaos. 
Looking at long-term leaders within the sector, Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) shares have gained an average of 2.7% in April over the past 40 years, while Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) performed slightly better, rising 3.1% on average over the same period. 
Below is a table showing each sector&#8217;s average performance in April.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning JPMorgan Chase Stock In The Last 20 Years

President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s&nbsp;nominee to run the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/social-security">Social Security Administration</a>, Frank Bisignano, was questioned during a Tuesday Senate hearing about customer service improvements, erroneous payments and the potential privatization of the agency.&nbsp;
Bisignano previously served as CEO of Fiserv (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>), when the financial tech company's stock price more than doubled. He was also co-COO at JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and held other senior positions at Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>). Fortune Magazine <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/01/30/who-is-frank-bisignano-social-security-administration-trump-appointee-first-data-fiserv/">referred </a>to Bisignano&#8217;s &#8220;unmatched record as a crisis manager&#8221; who rebuilt Citigroup's decimated back-office operations after 9/11. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New Career Path</h2>
Asked where he stood on Elon Musk's efforts via DOGE to cut costs at the agency by firing workers and closing offices, Bisignano replied, &#8220;My objective is to come in and motivate the workforce we have &#8230; to be able to get our job right the first time for the American public.&#8221;
During Tuesday&#8217;s hearing, Bisignano said he plans to use artificial intelligence to identify and weed out fraud, waste and abuse within the system. He repeatedly referred to the current 1% payment error rate, which he says is &#8220;five decimal places too high.&#8221; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meanwhile, A Growing Crisis At SSA</h2>
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/25/social-security-phones-doge-cuts/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F41c4f66%2F67e2d84d7347ac0732c0908f%2F59728921ae7e8a1cf4aab576%2F11%2F63%2F67e2d84d7347ac0732c0908f">reported</a> Tuesday that the SSA website crashed four times in 10 days this month and the agency is in a deep crisis.
"The federal agency that delivers $1.5 trillion a year in earned benefits to 73 million retired workers, their survivors and poor and disabled Americans is engulfed in crisis, further undermining its ability to provide reliable and quick service to vulnerable customers,&#8221; wrote the outlet. 
Former Labor Secretary <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/topic/robert-reich">Robert Reich</a> contends the SSA is not in crisis because it's running out of money and that raising the cap slightly on income subject to Social Security taxes would put the agency "in good shape forever."
Reich also <a href="https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-social-security-is-in-the-worst?utm_source=substack&amp;publication_id=365422&amp;post_id=159585835&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;utm_campaign=email-share&amp;triggerShare=true&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=wlhj&amp;triedRedirect=true">says</a> Musk is "dead wrong" in his fraud accusations because "Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of 99.7 percent. None of Musk's businesses comes close to matching that degree of accuracy."
Administrative costs, which Musk has bashed as wasteful, comprise only 0.5%, which Reich says are "the lowest by far of any large program in the public or private sector."
Though Trump swore he'd never touch Social Security, by empowering Musk, who has called the SSA a "Ponzi scheme," some say the buck stops with the president.
"What's going on is the destruction of the agency from the inside out, and it's accelerating," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) told the Washington Post. "What they're doing now is unconscionable."

Affirm Supercharges US Retail With Expansion Of J.P. Morgan Payments Partnership

JPMorgan Chase's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.41% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 29.24 million shares sold short, which is 1.05% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.05 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

<h3>JPMorgan Chase Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742910316_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for JPMorgan Chase has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing JPMorgan Chase's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, JPMorgan Chase's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.16%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

United Airlines And JPMorgan Roll Out Exclusive Benefits For New MileagePlus Cardholders, Including Welcome Bonuses

Jamie Dimon, CEO of&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), addressed employees at a town hall meeting on Thursday at the bank&#8217;s&nbsp;Dallas corporate conference center in&nbsp;Plano, Texas.
What Happened: Dimon humorously opened the session, which lasted about an hour, with a joke, promising, "No swearing this time,&#8221; setting a relaxed tone, according to <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/21/jpmorgan-jamie-dimon-inflation-economy-return-to-work-wall-street-veterans-dei/">a</a> report by Fortune. He discussed his future at JPMorgan, stating he plans to remain CEO for a &#8220;few more years&#8221; before transitioning to a chairman role.
He also expressed interest in joining a nonprofit board post-JPMorgan, according to attendees.
Dimon addressed the bank&#8217;s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, reaffirming its commitment to these initiatives.
However, Jennifer Piepszak, JPMorgan&#8217;s COO, announced a name change to DOI—diversity, opportunity, and inclusion—in a memo on Friday. The bank plans to reduce certain training and reallocate programs to different business lines.

Dimon also touched on the bank&#8217;s return-to-office policy, emphasizing the benefits of in-person work for young employees. Despite logistical challenges, he praised the facilities team for their efforts. The meeting followed a February session where Dimon faced employee frustration over the return-to-office mandate.
Why It Matters: The town hall meeting comes amidst ongoing discussions about JPMorgan&#8217;s return-to-office policy.&nbsp;Jamie Dimon has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44300682/jamie-dimon-doubles-down-on-work-from-home-criticism-where-did-you-get-your-amazon-packages">vocal</a> about his stance&nbsp;on the importance of in-office work, arguing that remote work can hinder creativity and slow decision-making.
In a previous town hall, he addressed employee concerns, stating, &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to work at JPMorgan&#8221; if they disagreed with the policy.
Additionally, Dimon has weighed in on broader economic issues, highlighting concerns over geopolitical tensions and potential tariff impacts. During a conversation with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen, Dimon described the economy as experiencing a &#8220;soft landing&#8221; but noted the presence of significant turbulence.
He emphasized the uncertainty surrounding proposed tax plans and the impact of tariffs on the global economy.

Jamie Dimon Reveals He Will Remain JPMorgan's CEO For 'Few More Years,' Jokes He Won't Swear This Time

Editor&#8217;s Note: The headline has been corrected to clarify VYLD&#8217;s description.
JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co.

It returns 1% for each point VIX futures decline, before expenses. The ETN has an expense ratio of 85 basis points and short front- and second-month VIX futures contracts. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">Volatility-linked ETNs</a> have a history of abrupt failures.

Barclays also experienced problems in 2022 as a result of mistakes with volatility-linked notes. &#8220;This is a singular event,&#8221; Strategas senior ETF strategist Todd Sohn <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-20/jpmorgan-enters-an-infamous-short-volatility-market-with-new-etn?sref=TBDibEcD">told</a> Bloomberg. &#8220;Shorting volatility — in a structure that doesn&#8217;t really get much scrutiny anymore: an ETN.&#8221; JPMorgan cites heightened market interest in volatility products.

JPMorgan Launches New Product For Investors Betting On Falling Volatility (CORRECTED)

As President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s tariffs shake up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44411483/jamie-dimon-says-theres-a-lot-of-turbulence-out-there-amid-trump-tariffs-inflation-woes-and-geopolitical-risks">domestic industries</a> and rip up longstanding trade agreements with countries near and far, a certain billion-dollar industry might ultimately find itself in the green. 
If you guessed the cannabis industry, go to the head of the class.
Derek Chase, CEO of Los Angeles-based FLORA+BAST, contends that the unintended consequences of tariffs could push businesses toward more eco-conscious, locally sourced solutions. Chase quite likes the idea of developing home-grown solutions.
"Having more domestic options is a positive consequence of this extra tax layer and makes our USA-made goods more price competitive since our competition will likely want to raise prices to maintain profitability," he told Benzinga.
"But yes, since we love our Mexican suppliers and only aim to grow that part of the business, the 25% does pose higher costs for us. That said, the cost of packaging v. the price of our goods is a much smaller ratio than someone selling, say, peanuts," Chase said. 
Trump's 25% across-the-board tariffs on Mexico and Canada were enacted on March 4, though they were paused two days later until April 2. Then, on March 12, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44281882/canada-retaliates-with-20b-in-tariffs-on-us-goods-amid-trade-war">Canada retaliated</a> to Trump's steel and aluminum duties by imposing 25% tariffs on over $20 billion worth of U.S. goods.
"The short-term costs for a lot of businesses will be greatly impacted, but we believe this will bring more manufacturing back to the states and provide more options for eco-conscious businesses, especially those using glass," Chase said in an interview. 
George Sadler, CEO of Gelato Canna Co., says the tariffs will not negatively affect his business any more than any other business.
"Everyone will be affected so we will be on a level playing field. Most of our manufacturing products and final packaging are made in the United States. It will be the end user, the consumer that will feel the increase. We can only absorb so much in this volatile cannabis market."
JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jamie-dimon">Jamie Dimon</a>, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/43247421/jamie-dimon-says-jpmorgan-chase-probably-would-provide-services-to-cannabis-industry-once-federal-laws-permit">recently indicated</a> that the largest bank in the U.S.&nbsp;"probably would" provide banking services to marijuana businesses if/when federal laws permit, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44411483/jamie-dimon-says-theres-a-lot-of-turbulence-out-there-amid-trump-tariffs-inflation-woes-and-geopolitical-risks">said this week</a> that the economy is in a &#8220;soft landing&#8221; phase, "but there's a lot of turbulence out there."
Despite the turbulence, Derek Chase remains optimistic. "All in all, it's a good thing — short-term price pressure should force businesses to look at domestic options and for businesses to sprout up in categories where they could not compete historically."

Trump's Tariffs Could Boost A Surprising Billion-Dollar Industry

&nbsp;Jamie Dimon, CEO of&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), expressed his views on the current economic landscape, highlighting concerns over geopolitical tensions and potential tariff impacts.
What Happened: In a recent conversation with Abode (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) CEO Shantanu Narayen at Adobe&#8217;s annual summit, Dimon characterized the economy as being in a &#8220;soft landing&#8221; phase, "but there's a lot of turbulence out there." He underscored the uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed tax plan and the potential ramifications of tariffs on the global economy, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/19/jamie-dimon-on-tariffs-geopolitics-and-the-misery-facing-the-bottom-20-of-u-s-earners/">reported</a> Fortune.
Geopolitical issues, especially the situations in Ukraine, Russia, and the Middle East, were also a point of concern for Dimon. He emphasized their impact on the future of free democratic societies.
On the topic of consumer spending in the U.S., Dimon noted a reduction in spending among lower-income individuals, while wealthier individuals remain significantly wealthier due to the rise in home&nbsp;and stock prices over the&nbsp;past two decades.
"The bottom 20% [of earners in the U.S.] didn't get a pay raise for 25 years; they're dying younger. Their schools aren't good and they live in crime-ridden neighborhoods,&#8221; stated Dimon as he expressed concern.
Addressing inflation, Dimon expressed optimism for its decrease. He acknowledged that the transition to a green economy and trade restructuring could lead to inflation, advising the audience to focus on long-term trends rather than the latest inflation reports.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent tariff announcements have received mixed reactions from leading economists. While, Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary,<a href="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=833010&amp;action=edit"> strongly criticized</a> recent tariff policies, cautioning against potential recession risks and adverse long-term effects.
However,&nbsp;Justin Wolfers, Senior Fellow at&nbsp;Brookings Institute,&nbsp;stated that a recession is ‘not inevitable,' while reasoning that Trump inherited a robust U.S. economy and has not been in office long enough to significantly alter it.
Dimon&#8217;s recent remarks at the Adobe summit provide further insight into his perspective on the broader economic landscape, highlighting potential challenges and uncertainties that could impact the global economy and consumer spending.

10 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

A lawsuit has been lodged against&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) by its employees, who claim that the company&#8217;s prescription drug plan, overseen by&nbsp;CVS Health Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), consented&nbsp;to pay exorbitant prices for&nbsp;medications.
What Happened: According to a report, the lawsuit alleges that JPMorgan mishandled health benefits. One example cited in the case shows the plan paying over&nbsp;$6,000 for a multiple sclerosis&nbsp;drug that could be purchased for approximately $30 at retail pharmacies. 
The plaintiffs, which&nbsp;include one current and two&nbsp;former employees, contend that this &#8220;systematic mismanagement&#8221; resulted in &#8220;grossly inflated&#8221; medication costs for those enrolled in the plan.
According to the report <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-13/jpmorgan-employee-lawsuit-says-bank-overpaid-for-prescription-drugs?sref=TBDibEcD">by</a> Bloomberg, this lawsuit is part of an emerging pattern of similar cases against major employers such as Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).
These cases are examining the role of employers in the escalating healthcare costs in the US and&nbsp;the profits of pharmacy benefit&nbsp;managers like CVS.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43076952/heres-the-jaw-dropping-total-jpmorgan-chase-paid-to-fight-legal-battles-over-two-years">Here&#8217;s The Jaw-Dropping Total JPMorgan Chase Paid To Fight Legal Battles Over Two Years</a>
The lawsuit alleges that JPMorgan&nbsp;breached its fiduciary duties under&nbsp;the Employee Retirement Income Security&nbsp;Act, which regulates large employers&#8217; benefit plans. The case also highlights instances where JPMorgan&#8217;s&nbsp;plan from CVS Health had&nbsp;significantly&nbsp;higher prices than what patients&nbsp;would pay without insurance.
As of now, JPMorgan has not responded to requests for comment, and a CVS spokesperson declined to comment. The case,&nbsp;Seth Stern et al v.&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. et al, 25-cv-02097, has been&nbsp;filed in the Southern District&nbsp;of New York.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;This lawsuit underscores the ongoing debate about the role of employers and pharmacy benefit managers in the rising costs of healthcare in the US. 
The outcome of this case could potentially influence how other companies manage their employee health benefits, particularly in relation to prescription drug costs. 
It also raises questions about the transparency and fairness of pricing in the pharmaceutical industry.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h2>
On Friday, President Donald Trump celebrated 50 days in office. &#8220;The winning never stops,&#8221; the White House touted.
But the losing can be felt in the world of investment banks and corporations that were once hungry for growth.
&#8220;Strategic M&amp;A has gotten off to an excruciatingly slow start,&#8221; according to a PitchBook analysis published today.
January saw the lowest M&amp;A volumes in a decade, and February didn't exactly bring the sunshine either. Companies are stuck in a mess of antitrust regulations, price mismatches and market turmoil, the firm added.
Wasn&#8217;t M&amp;A supposed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41805370/jim-cramer-hopes-m-a-to-come-back-bigly-under-trump-administration">come back &#8220;bigly&#8221;</a> under Trump? Any <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates">talk of M&amp;A dominance</a> that was expected after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/11/41952823/republicans-set-to-hold-slim-house-majority-what-it-means-for-energy-financial-defense-sectors">GOP sweep in November</a>, is coming across as just that &#8211; talk.
Just look at top tech companies like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). They&#8217;re are sitting on their hands instead of making deals. 
Pitchbook points out that the Redmond, Washington-based company hasn't acquired anything in the last 18 months. Most of its fellow big-tech comrades aren&#8217;t sitting at the M&amp;A table, either. Instead, their would-be M&amp;A cash is going toward AI infrastructure.
And then there's the market sell-off. On Friday, Barron&#8217;s <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/trump-mergers-tariffs-banks-c4fdc61d">recalled</a> November when &#8220;Wall Street was full of hope.&#8221;
At the time, shares of Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) spiked. This indicated that an M&amp;A &#8220;revival&#8221; under Trump's second term was in our midst. Fast-forward to today: Goldman Sachs' chief economist <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-sachs-chief-economist-just-160521522.html">downgraded</a> the entire U.S. economy; JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is sounding the alarm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/03/44290692/jamie-dimon-warns-of-economic-weakening-negative-consumer-sentiment">once again</a>; and Morgan Stanley <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/morgan-stanley-research-sees-slowdown-ma-activity-first-half-2025-amid-2025-03-13/">expects</a> there won&#8217;t be much action until the third quarter. 
And earlier Friday, the University of Michigan's latest survey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44331170/us-consumer-confidence-plunges-as-inflation-fears-hit-highest-level-since-1993" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">showed a rapid decrease </a>in consumer confidence as economists use words like &#8220;horrific&#8221; and &#8220;scary&#8221; to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44337983/economists-react-to-march-consumer-confidence-plunge-this-is-a-horrific-report">describe the numbers</a>.
Sounds more like &#8220;the winning&#8221; never started.

Shares of banks and financial services stocks are trading higher amid an overall market rebound following recent weakness.

Friday, JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) J.P. Morgan Asset Management, or JPMAM, launched the JPMorgan U.S. Research Enhanced Large Cap ETF, or JUSA on the New York Stock Exchange, expanding its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44330118/j-p-morgan-asset-management-launches-jpmorgan-u-s-research-enhanced-large-cap-etf-on-nyse" rel="noreferrer noopener">research enhanced ETF offerings.</a>
This ETF is designed to offer investors a strategy for long-term capital appreciation by providing exposure to large-cap U.S. companies.
The new fund reflects JP Morgan&#8217;s leadership in active ETFs. JP Morgan stock is <a target="_blank" href="http://JUSA joins JPMorgan's robust selection of ETF offerings, which features over 60 different funds. Overall, these funds represent over $190 billion in assets under management." rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher on Friday.</a>

According to John Harrington, Global Head of ETF Product at JP Morgan Asset Management, JUSA combines the firm&#8217;s decades of experience in managing research enhanced strategies with the flexibility and innovation of the active ETF structure.
&#8220;JUSA demonstrates our ability to adapt proven strategies to meet the evolving needs of investors in today&#8217;s dynamic market and is an exciting addition to our active U.S. ETF offerings,&#8221; Harrington adds.
Since the introduction of the 2019 ETF Rule, which simplified the regulatory process, there has been significant growth in the assets held by active ETFs, particularly in categories like Large Blend and Large Value.
This trend underscores the increasing investor preference for ETFs, which offer diversified, cost-effective ways to gain equity exposure.
Managed by portfolio managers Ralph Zingone and Tim Snyder, who have implemented the strategy since 1988, JUSA offers a portfolio with a slightly lower active risk budget and a broader number of holdings.
Price Action: JPM shares are trading higher by 3.09% to $232.15 at last check Friday.
