Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been udpated to correct the Stock Movers list.
Wall Street pushed higher in midday trading, with the S&amp;P 500 on track for its eighth consecutive gain — its longest winning streak since November 2023. The index rose about 1% to 5,560, fully recovering the losses sustained after former President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade tariffs on April 2.</a>
Technology stocks led the rally, with the Nasdaq 100 climbing 1.5%. Strong and resilient corporate earnings continue to fuel investor appetite for risk, helping markets shrug off recent tariff concerns.
President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going "very well" and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.
On the economic front, data continued to paint a weaker picture. After Wednesday's disappointing first-quarter GDP report, the ISM manufacturing PMI showed factory activity contracted for the second straight month in April. Meanwhile, price pressures surged at the fastest pace since June 2022, reflecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">inflationary effects from tariffs.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) was a standout gainer, soaring 8.60% after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI. The stock reached its highest level since late January.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also topped estimates, with shares climbing more than 4%.
Sector-wise, technology outperformed, while health care lagged. Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) plunged over 9% after the pharmaceutical giant cut its 2025 guidance.
Crude oil erased early losses, rebounding to $58 per barrel after briefly dipping below $57. Gold slipped 2.2% to a two-week low.
The U.S. dollar strengthened to its highest level in over two weeks, bolstered by manufacturing surveys showing rising input costs tied to tariffs.
Treasury yields climbed for a second straight session, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.21%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past the $97,000 mark, hitting its highest level in over two months.

<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.

Beyond The Numbers: 13 Analysts Discuss Mohawk Industries Stock

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on Mohawk Industries, Lowers Price Target to $115

BofA Securities analyst Rafe Jadrosich writes that the building product companies may encounter significant headwinds from tariffs, though the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bofa-securities" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">full impact remains uncertain</a>.
Notably, last week, the Trump administration proposed steep new tariffs on several countries, while maintaining current rates for USMCA-<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44589523/trumps-liberation-day-tariff-plan-could-ignite-global-trade-shakeup-betting-markets-price-in-the-pain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">compliant goods from Mexico and Canada</a>.
The analyst writes that this announcement poses risks for plumbing firms such as Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBIN#NYSE">FBIN</a>) and Masco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAS#NYSE">MAS</a>) because they&#8217;ve moved production to Southeast Asia and still maintain exposure to China.
Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHK#NYSE">MHK</a>) and Whirlpool Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) may be better positioned due to their larger U.S. manufacturing footprint, though they still risk a demand decline in a soft economic environment, adds the analyst.
The analyst estimates an unmitigated 20% hit to EPS for the companies. While pricing could help offset some of the pressure, the broader macroeconomic environment is already tough, adds the analyst.
Jadrosich says that Armstrong World Industries Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AWI#NYSE">AWI</a>) and Owens Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OC#NYSE">OC</a>) are relatively well-positioned to navigate the potential challenges posed by tariffs.
For Armstrong World Industries, Jadrosich notes shares fell 10% over the past three trading days, though there is an estimate of an EPS impact of under 1% due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/awi/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">its U.S. manufacturing base</a>.
The company has strong pricing power and a focus on ceiling tile replacements to support resilience, adds the analyst.
The analyst says Mohawk Industries&#8217; stock dropped 13%, but is relatively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MHK/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">well positioned versus competitors</a>.
Jadrosich writes that luxury vinyl tile (LVT) competitors may need to raise prices by 20%+ to hold margin margins versus Mohawk Industries&#8217; increase of 1%–2%.
For Owens Corning, the analyst writes that the company&#8217;s roofing (60% of EBITDA), which is domestically produced and linked to replacement demand, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/oc/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">could gain from lower asphalt prices</a>.

What Building Product Companies Are Better Positioned During Tariff Turbulence? BofA Securities Weighs In

President Donald Trump is set to unveil a sweeping tariff plan — nicknamed &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; — on Wednesday that could lift U.S. trade duties to levels not seen in decades, disrupting global supply chains and jolting financial markets already<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44589523/trumps-liberation-day-tariff-plan-could-ignite-global-trade-shakeup-betting-markets-price-in-the-pain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> wary of geopolitical risk.</a>
Ahead of the Trump administration&#8217;s April 2 reciprocal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">tariffs</a> announcement, BofA Securities examines how building product companies could be impacted.
The U.S. has imposed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">25% tariff</a> on all steel and aluminum products, including imports from Canada and Mexico. These tariffs took effect on March 4 but are paused until April 2 for goods and services that meet USMCA rules. Additionally, a 20% tariff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44117288/after-china-mexico-to-hit-back-against-trumps-tariffs-raising-trade-war-risks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">applies to Chinese imports</a>.
In a report on Tuesday, a BofA analyst says China tariffs are a headwind to Masco Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAS#NYSE">MAS</a>) and Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBIN#NYSE">FBIN</a>), but positive for Whirlpool Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>), due to less exposure versus its peers.
Mohawk Industries Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHK#NYSE">MHK</a>) would benefit from tariffs on Europe (ceramics) and Vietnam (luxury vinyl tile or LVT). The tariffs for Mexico are a headwind for Whirlpool and Mohawk.
Homebuilders could face headwinds from Canadian lumber tariffs. Manufacturers have announced price hikes to offset the &#8220;dynamic trade policy,&#8221; but the analyst sees a risk that volumes could weaken in a difficult macro backdrop.
BofA analyst writes that U.S. tariffs on China will affect the plumbing industry, including fixtures, valves and rough plumbing.
While some plumbing products are made in China, many components come from other parts of Asia.
Fortune Brands has stated that 50%-60% of its material costs come from outside the U.S., with less than 25% from China. The company aims to reduce that to below 10% by 2025.
Meanwhile, Masco said the latest 10% tariff on Chinese imports could cost the company $45 million annually before any cost-cutting measures.
Rising lumber prices could cut into homebuilders&#8217; profits, the analyst writes. Lumber costs are up 12% this year, and the impact may be felt in the next three to six months. While builders managed price swings in 2021-2022, strong demand increased home prices by about 40%. With weaker demand and more homes on the market, offsetting higher costs may be more difficult now.

Tariffs Could Shake Building Industry: Homebuilders, Plumbing, Flooring Face Rising Costs

In a recent shift of investment strategy,&nbsp;David Tepper&#8216;s hedge fund,&nbsp;Appaloosa LP, has made significant alterations to its portfolio. 
What Happened: The firm&#8217;s latest 13F filing reveals a reduction in semiconductor holdings, while stakes in other tech stocks, including&nbsp;Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and the&nbsp;ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), have been increased.
Appaloosa LP, during&nbsp;the fourth quarter of 2023,&nbsp;purchased&nbsp;1.3 million shares in Oracle&nbsp;Corp worth approximately&nbsp;$140 million and a call&nbsp;option for nearly&nbsp;2.6 million shares of the&nbsp;ARK Innovation ETF valued at over $133 million. The hedge fund also established&nbsp;new positions in FMC Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>) and General Motors Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>).
Investments were also made&nbsp;in the home improvement, construction,&nbsp;and building materials sectors, with the acquisition of shares in firms such as Masco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAS#NYSE">MAS</a>), Mohawk Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHK#NYSE">MHK</a>), and Owens Corning (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OC#NYSE">OC</a>).
According to a report <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/tepper-appaloosa-13f-q4-2023-8580346">by </a>Investopedia, Appaloosa reduced its positions in&nbsp;several tech firms, including Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>),&nbsp;Alphabet Class C stock (GOOG),&nbsp;Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), and&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).&nbsp;The largest sell-off involved&nbsp;nearly 1.7 million shares of&nbsp;Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).

Outside of tech, the fund sold off shares in KE Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEKE#NYSE">BEKE</a>), Macy&#8217;s Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>), and PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>). On the flip side, Appaloosa added to its existing positions in Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>), MPLX LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPLX#NYSE">MPLX</a>), Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
The hedge fund also&nbsp;exited two positions entirely in&nbsp;the fourth quarter, selling off&nbsp;shares of Arista Networks (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>)&nbsp;and Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>).
Why It Matters: Appaloosa&#8217;s portfolio reshuffle indicates a strategic shift towards diversification. The reduction in semiconductor holdings comes amidst a global chip shortage, potentially signaling a cautious approach. 
The increased stakes in other tech stocks and the home improvement sector suggest a focus on industries that have shown resilience during the pandemic. The fund&#8217;s&nbsp;new positions in FMC Corp.&nbsp;and General Motors Co. indicate a bet on the agrochemical and automotive industries, respectively. 
The sell-offs, on the other hand, might reflect an attempt to mitigate risks associated with specific stocks or sectors.
