CoreWeave shares are trading higher following a report from The Information suggesting that Google is in advanced talks to rent Nvidia AI servers from CoreWeave.

The calendar may have flipped to April, but trade drama is still driving the markets. President Trump&#8217;s April 2 &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; announcement is only the latest White House effort to make imports more expensive.
One of the largest yet was the 25% import tax on cars and car parts announced in March. This has already changed how Americans shop, as car buyers raced to the lots last month to purchase new vehicles under the wire. Economists estimate that the price of a new car could jump by as much as $10,000 to $20,000, depending on the make and model. That&#8217;s likely to make people hang on to older cars for longer, or buy new ones as soon as possible.
However, with every shakeup comes an opportunity, and some companies may benefit from changing trends in the automobile industry. In this article, we'll review five car-adjacent stocks that could see tailwinds from auto tariffs.
Here are five car-adjacent stocks that could benefit from all this car trade drama.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AutoZone Inc.</h2>
AutoZone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) found its way onto one of our lists last year when Trump first began musing about tariffs and tailwinds for DIY auto parts stores, which have only increased with this new round of import taxes. AutoZone does source significant merchandise from Canada and Mexico, another pair of Trump trade targets. Still, company executives previously mentioned they expect to pass tariff costs back onto consumers with minimal pushback. 
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1NlTVRXnqNYDgnB05k-Fg2zH3MAmFpZlH0xqEC2y2vS68QL3CxW_10hBgTKi80CJ6oCtFNOkV4VZtwPJT1NN4mHcXJj_CFcNhuiLSW581nzb2Koj8cTiF1dS4kRdBo_yGKeIUjw?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
AutoZone is one of the ‘big three' auto parts brands in the United States, along with O&#8217;Reilly Automotive and Advance Auto Parts. In our view, AutoZone has the most promise, thanks to its strong margins, reasonable valuations and catalysts from changing consumer trends. The stock trades at 22.5 times forward earnings (compared to 28.9 for ORLY) and received two recent analyst upgrades, including one from Goldman Sachs's Kate McShane, a long-time AZO bear. The company's stock chart also looks promising, with a strong uptrend above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages and an 86.96 Momentum rating on Benzinga Edge's rankings. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CarMax Inc.</h2>
If new car prices rise, more consumers will turn to the used car market, where price hikes are expected to be less impactful. In this scenario, it would benefit to be the largest seller of used cars and trucks on the market &#8211; a title still held by CarMax Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMX#NYSE">KMX</a>) despite stiff competition from online startup Carvana.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdgPYDonDoAaLcYx0jUvqOW8qNo6hltEKVnlcDlZuRvPNAtIQSmxwLwv2QN8GoP6OTm4oFgw1VnxlDsGg1UiJN1Eb-YR844tbKZKMeInBsoc1qm5fs7ntqCAdrDbWLaE74cJjFmow?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
CarMax has the largest fleet of pre-owned vehicles available, and more than 80% of its revenue comes from the sale of used cars and trucks. While selling used vehicles is typically a low-margin business, CarMax has narrowed the gap with Carvana and posted a higher profit margin (1.77% vs. 1.54%) in Q4 2024. CarMax also has a robust financing department that should benefit later this year if the Federal Reserve continues cutting rates and loosening financial conditions. The company trades at 20.2 times forward earnings and just 0.47 times sales (compared to 3.32 P/S for Carvana) and recently triggered a technical buying signal with a bullish MACD crossover. Technical traders should keep an eye on the 200-day moving average for signs of resistance; a breakthrough above this level could trigger more upward momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ferrari N.V.</h2>
A premier Italian automaker might not be a typical choice to benefit from forceful US auto tariffs, but Ferrari N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>) is far from your typical car manufacturer. The typical Ferrari owner is not someone who buys a car for practical reasons, like commuting or hauling cargo. A Ferrari buyer is purchasing a collectible, a rare and expensive vehicle driven for pleasure (and to show off to other rich people). And collectors with the means to purchase a Ferrari aren't going to let tariffs deter them.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1c7aR6ZDtplLHJt74ycUuLxeO26dxptva56d_BPw8o4NIWotJXmPP8YfUIPpHM_f48aH72rn3uI7t541rrChfM3oGvUZG1hkcXGMx7lU2fK6wP4HzU1hiOULRtZ-wcZrpFVuvFg?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Ferrari has some of the strongest margins in car manufacturing- the company reported an impressive 22.8% profit margin in the most recent Q4 earnings call. It also projects 14.5% EPS growth over the next 12 months. It received a solid 69.79 Growth and 79.7 Quality scores on Benzinga Edge rankings. RACE was upgraded from Equal-Weight to Overweight by analysts at Barclays on March 28. The three most recent price targets from UBS, JP Morgan and Evercore indicate a potential upside of nearly 17% from present levels.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valvoline Inc.</h2>
Valvoline Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VVV#NYSE">VVV</a>) primarily sells oil and lubricants for cars and trucks through retail stores or its own chain of quick-service franchises, such as Jiffy Lube or Valvoline Instant Oil Change. Valvoline's fast service and products enable outsized profits, and its margins are some of the best in the auto repair industry.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc6PxAZQ6dDg2sRQQS4M1Gcwl9fi341gyTENTltPUrsW1_g1CksW3EjOsdgS9HHe7KWXPPg0o4rvX38IgQN6gVhjPJl7HCftkZ549zHX2grW7nzVv-zKeTwR-H4krb60x5H3c-8_g?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Traders will notice a potential double bottom pattern forming on the VVV stock chart, as the price has now twice dropped back to the $35 level that served as resistance in January. The stock also has a 16.82 P/E ratio and expects to grow EPS figures by 18% over the next 12 months. And if consumers are going to hold onto their cars longer, they'll need to take better care of them, which means no longer ignoring that pesky every-3,000-mile oil change.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.</h2>
Selling tires isn't exactly a high margin business either, but Goodyear (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GT#NASDAQ">GT</a>) makes our list thanks to expectations of future cost reductions, recent analyst upgrades, and a high domestic production rate. And once again, if consumers hold onto their vehicles longer, replacing wear-and-tear parts like tires will become more imperative.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfW0CeZYd6ptazygMBxPK_DtD9c72YPhopDWSaLFT-WXjUTHfp9AKswb3PyyLn6fwqcJRGKKBa8ApBppUEyYtHU7QfFghgNIhyUuExZpfiQtHwj6KnJ5w5P4PS3a3zfLxJ-xRs8sQ?key=8QceRFt1Oe2Y-2b2sqQGBGox" alt="" /></figure>
Goodyear received an upgrade from Deutsche Bank on the final day of March, plus a price target boost from $10 to $13, indicating a potential upside of 45%. Deutsche cited the company's chemicals division divestiture and sale of its off-road tires business as tangible cost-cutting measures. The stock trades at just 4.7 times forward earnings and 0.14 times sales. Benzinga Edge also gives GT an 89.90 Value score, as the stock price appears to be consolidating around the $9 mark. Look for shares to break out of their long-term range for the next leg up.

5 Car Stocks That Could Benefit From Trump's 'Liberation Day'

Cleveland-Cliffs's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.47% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 58.28 million shares sold short, which is 15.11% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.29 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743623125_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Cleveland-Cliffs has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Cleveland-Cliffs'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>, Cleveland-Cliffs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.10%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

'Google in Advanced Talks to Rent Nvidia AI Servers From CoreWeave' -The Information

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock soared in 2024 after Donald Trump won the presidential election. The rising price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/12/42444955/elon-musk-first-person-worth-400-billion-as-tesla-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs-how-2024-election-helped-could-lead-to-future-gains">helped boost the wealth</a> of CEO Elon Musk and may have helped boost the wealth of members of Congress.
Here's a look at members of Congress who bought and sold Tesla stock since the 2024 presidential election.
Congress Goes Shopping: Members of Congress can buy and sell stocks and options as long as they report the transactions within a given time limit. Congress trading has proven controversial in recent years with the potential of members having inside information from committee assignments and government contracts.
Congress members may have bought Tesla stock after the election, knowing that Musk would likely get a role in the new White House administration. This could have helped boost the presence of his electric vehicle company and ensure that policies supported the growth of Tesla.
Here's a look at the buys and sells of Tesla stock since the 2024 election, as tracked by the Benzinga Government Trades page, going from most recent to oldest:
<ul>
<li>March 7: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>March 6: Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-Pa.) sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Feb. 27: Rep. Rob Bresnahan sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Feb. 26: Rep. Gilbert Cisneros (D-Calif.) bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Feb. 14: Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Feb. 13: Rep. Josh Gottheimer sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Feb. 12: Rep. Julie Johnson (D-Texas) sold $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Feb. 11: Rep. Julie Johnson sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Feb. 5: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Jan. 31: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Jan. 30: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Jan. 28: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Jan. 8: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Jan. 8: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Jan. 8: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Jan. 8: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Dec. 3: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 27: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 26: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 20: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 14: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 13: Rep. Morgan McGarvey (D-Ky.) sold $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 12: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 11: Rep. Josh Gottheimer bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 8: Rep. Michael Patrick Guest (R-Miss.) bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
<li>Nov. 7: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $1,000 to $15,000</li>
</ul>
It is also worth noting that Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) sold $100,000 to $250,000 and $15,000 to $50,000 worth of Tesla stock, fully exiting a position in the EV company, on Oct. 28. The transaction was reported on Nov. 7.

Why It's Important: Transactions involving Tesla stock since the election have mostly been from Greene and Gottheimer.
Greene, who was buying Tesla stock before the 2024 election, is a close Trump ally and holds a role in the Department of Government Efficiency alongside Musk. Her purchases likely won't be a huge surprise.
Gottheimer is one of the most active traders in Congress. Still, his role in the Democratic Party and ownership of Tesla stock since the election likely isn't a huge positive for his party, given the support Musk gets from the GOP.
Other Democratic members of Congress, like Johnson and McGarvey, sold their Tesla stock after Trump won the election and Musk became involved with the White House administration.
Cisneros bought Tesla stock in February and, several days later, spoke out in opposition to Tesla&#8217;s CEO.
"He basically bought himself the Presidency of the United States. I have no doubt he is the one calling the shots," Cisneros said of Musk in a February <a href="https://cisneros.house.gov/media/press-releases/icymi-rep-cisneros-forbes-elon-musk-bought-himself-presidency">interview </a>with Forbes.
McGarvey&#8217;s sale of Tesla stock in November after the election might also be worth watching since the Congress member was one of the top-performing stock pickers in 2024.
Price Action:&nbsp;Tesla stock is up 4.8% to $281.34 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 25.9% year-to-date in 2025.
Tesla stock closed at $251.44 on Nov. 5 and opened for trading at $284.67 on Nov. 6 after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump&#8217;s victory was confirmed</a>.

Newsmax Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To Downside; Down 80%

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares have fallen 19.6% year to date, pressured by ongoing concerns about AI spending, trade restrictions and broader market weakness. The stock, which was one of the best-performing names in 2024, has struggled in 2025 as investors reassess growth expectations and adjust to an increasingly uncertain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA">economic environment.</a>
What To Know: Restrictions on chip exports to China remain a major headwind for Nvidia, raising concerns about the company&#8217;s ability to maintain its strong revenue growth. The company relies on China as a key market for its AI chips and any disruption in sales could have a material impact. Recent reports indicate that China is ramping up efforts to reduce its dependence on U.S. technology, which could further hurt Nvidia&#8217;s long-term positioning.
AI spending, which drove Nvidia's massive stock surge last year, is now under increased scrutiny. Some analysts are warning that corporations could slow their AI infrastructure investments in response to economic uncertainty.
Q1 Earnings: Nvidia's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991607/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-demand-for-blackwell-is-amazing">latest earnings report</a> helped accelerate the downside momentum in shares. Revenue jumped 78% year-over-year and earnings per share climbed 71%. The company guided for first-quarter revenue of $43 billion, significantly higher than the $26.04 billion reported in the same quarter last year. Despite these numbers, the stock has continued to decline as investors focus more on macroeconomic risks and shifting sentiment around AI-related spending.
Market Overview: The broader semiconductor sector is also facing challenges. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) is down 14.9% year-to-date, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) has fallen 28% and Marvell Technology Inc.

The stock currently trades with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of approximately 24.5, which remains above some of its peers, but is down significantly from the peak.

<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.

How Do Investors Really Feel About Mirion Technologies?

Bringing a child into the world is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with financial responsibilities. For Ashley, a New Yorker earning a combined $15,000 per month with her husband and holding an $86,000 emergency fund, the big question is: Are they financially secure enough to have a baby?&nbsp;
Personal finance expert Suze Orman recently addressed this question on her "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-revisiting-can-i-afford-to-ha">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breaking Down Ashley's Financial Situation</h2>
Ashley and her husband have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43581512/are-you-among-the-wealthiest-heres-the-net-worth-it-takes-to-be-in-the-top-1-5-and-10">strong financial foundation</a>. This includes:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>A $15,000 monthly income after taxes</li>
<li>An $86,000 emergency fund</li>
<li>$138,000 in retirement investments</li>
<li>Monthly expenses totaling $6,000, including mortgage, insurance, food, and transportation</li>
</ul>
Adding a baby into the mix will introduce significant costs to this breakdown. Ashley mentioned that daycare alone would cost them $3,500 per month.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The True Cost of Having a Child</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44459879/suze-orman-warns-the-absolute-worst-thing-that-you-can-be-doing-right-now-is-panic-because-it-hurts-long-term-security">Orman</a> pointed out that there will be several other expenses to consider when it comes to having a child. "What is not in this equation is the cost of a child today," she said. "Forget daycare. Forget that there are costs to having a child, and it comes out to be approximately $25,000 a year till about the age of 17 or 18."
She added that her estimate also doesn't include saving for college.
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
On top of the $3,500 per month for childcare, Orman estimates an additional $2,000 per month for baby-related costs such as healthcare, clothing, food, and unexpected expenses. This brings Ashley's projected new monthly expenses to almost $12,000—leaving a $3,000 buffer between their income and expenses.&nbsp;
While the numbers suggest Ashley and her husband could afford to have a child, Orman advises caution. Unexpected costs can arise, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41662332/financial-stress-why-women-and-gen-xers-are-feeling-the-pinch-more-than-others">financial stress</a> should not overshadow the joy of having a baby.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Orman's Recommendation: The "Trial Run"</h2>
To ensure financial preparedness, Orman suggests Ashley and her husband test out life with a baby—financially speaking—before committing. She advised Ashley and her husband to set aside $6,000 per month into a high-yield money market account since that would be close to the estimated cost of having a child.&nbsp;
"You put $6000 a month away for one year and see how it feels," Orman said. "Now you have to ask yourself the question: Was that easy for you to do?"

This strategy is meant to help them gauge whether they can comfortably manage the expenses without sacrificing their current lifestyle.&nbsp;
"Now, obviously your life&#8217;s going to change when you have a baby," Orman said. "You&#8217;re gonna experience love&#8230;more than you&#8217;ve ever experienced love in your life, so it&#8217;s going to be fabulous."
If Ashley and her husband can consistently save this amount for a year without stress, Orman's point is that they won't be in financial stress when it comes to having a baby. Plus, they will have built an additional $72,000 in savings, bringing their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42444651/should-i-use-my-emergency-fund-for-a-surgery-dave-ramseys-advice-on-shopping-around-for-better-prices-for-medical-services">emergency fund</a> to $158,000—enough to cover about a year's worth of expenses if needed.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should Ashley and Her Husband Wait?</h2>
Orman acknowledged that there is no universal right or wrong answer. However, she suggests that if Ashley is feeling financial stress about having a baby, she might want to wait. Giving themselves another year or two to build up savings and ensure a strong financial cushion could provide peace of mind and eliminate unnecessary stress.

Is A $15K Monthly Income And An $86K Emergency Fund Enough To Have A Baby In New York? Suze Orman Weighs In

The U.K&#8217;s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) on Wednesday recommended Pfizer Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin) for adult patients with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced Hodgkin lymphoma</a>.
The recommendation covers brentuximab vedotin in combination with other therapies for routine National Health Service (NHS) use.
Around 800 people annually with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nice.org.uk/news/articles/first-ever-nhs-treatment-approved-for-advanced-hodgkin-lymphoma" rel="noreferrer noopener">previously</a> untreated stage 3 or 4 CD30-positive Hodgkin lymphoma could benefit from this treatment, which combines brentuximab vedotin with doxorubicin, dacarbazine, and vinblastine.

NICE says this marks the first recommendation specifically for previously untreated late-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma and follows an improved confidential discount to the NHS on the treatment&#8217;s list price offered by Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAK#NYSE">TAK</a>).
Clinical evidence from the ECHELON-1 trial showed that brentuximab combination therapy significantly delays disease progression and prolongs survival compared to standard chemotherapy regimens.
The trial demonstrated impressive overall survival rates. Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects cells in the lymphatic system. Advanced (stage 3 and 4) CD30-positive Hodgkin lymphoma most commonly affects younger adults aged 20 to 24 years and older <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44578528/european-commission-approves-pfizers-rsv-vaccine-abrysvo-to-help-protect-adults-aged-18-59-against" rel="noreferrer noopener">adults aged 75 to 79 years</a>.
NICE recommendation means the treatment will be available immediately through the Cancer Drugs Fund, with interim funding provided until routine commissioning begins.
On Tuesday, the European Commission issued a decision amending the marketing authorization for Pfizer&#8217;s Abrysvo, the company&#8217;s bivalent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine, to extend the indication to include prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV in individuals 18 through 59 years of age.
The approval is based on results from the pivotal phase 3&nbsp;MONeT&nbsp;trial.
Price Action: PFE stock is up 0.35% at $24.63 at the last check on Wednesday.

'Trump to Outline TikTok Deal Proposal, With ByteDance Retaining Stake' -The Information

J.P. Morgan analyst Samuel Nielsen reiterated the Overweight rating on Sportradar Group AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRAD#NASDAQ">SRAD</a>) on Wednesday, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SRAD/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast to $27 from $26.</a>
The analyst highlights that Sportradar is effectively using its scale, data, and technology capabilities to enhance its products and services, which, in turn, helps increase pricing power and take rates.
Nielsen is optimistic about the company&#8217;s ability to leverage sports data rights to innovate products and increase pricing power, particularly in live betting.
This is expected to drive higher revenue share and margin expansion, as the company moves past recent rights renewals and enters a period of sustained top-line growth with lower operating expenses, the analyst adds.

With a solid visibility into its revenue and cost structure, Sportradar has approximately €2 billion ($2.2 billion) in contracted revenue for the next two years, accounting for around 75% of the company&#8217;s projected revenue for 2025 and 2026, a reassuring figure given the broader concerns about consumer health, Nielsen writes.
Looking ahead to 2027, Sportradar has set ambitious financial targets, including a revenue forecast of about €1.7 billion, reflecting a 15% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and an adjusted EBITDA of approximately €455 million, showing a 27% CAGR and a margin improvement of 700 basis points to reach 27%, the analyst highlights.
Additionally, the company expects around €275 million in free cash flow, equating to a conversion rate of about 60% of EBITDA into free cash flow. SRAD&#8217;s growth projections for 2027 are driven by global market growth, cross-selling and up-selling strategies, and expansion into adjacent markets.
On the cost side, Sportradar anticipates a 9% CAGR in sports rights expense and a 10% CAGR in sports rights cash costs, which should provide approximately 400 basis points of margin leverage, with another 300 basis points from fixed cost leverage.
The analyst keeps 2025 estimates steady but increases 2026 revenue and EBITDA projections by 2% and 3%, raising them to €1.45 billion and €360 million, respectively, from previous estimates of €1.43 billion and €349 million.
Price Action: SRAD shares are trading higher by 1.98% to $22.16 at last check Wednesday.

Sportradar's Bets Big On Sports Data, Analyst Says Company Has Favorable Setup

A Redditor recently asked a simple question in the r/MiddleClassFinance <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MiddleClassFinance/comments/1jk09ci/why_do_so_many_redditors_believe_that_an_income/">subreddit</a>: &#8220;Why do so many Redditors believe that an income of $75K/year (70th percentile in USA) is considered a low salary?&#8221; It sparked a massive discussion, and while some replies were over the top, many of them actually made sense.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where You Live Changes Everything</h2>
One of the biggest themes in the thread was how wildly the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/05/39001824/janet-yellen-acknowledges-rising-cost-of-living-is-a-problem-to-a-lot-of-people-a">cost of living</a> varies. In some places, $75,000 is plenty. In others, it&#8217;s barely enough to stay afloat.
&#8220;$75K is more than most couples make combined in my area,&#8221; one user wrote. Another added, &#8220;I make less than $75K a year and I travel out of the country for vacation twice a year for 4 weeks at a time. Don't have kids though.&#8221;

But that experience isn't universal. A commenter in Los Angeles said, &#8220;In LA, it would get you a nice closet to live in.&#8221; Another person in San Francisco put it bluntly: &#8220;85K is poverty wages in San Francisco.&#8221;
High rents, childcare costs, and transportation expenses can eat through that income quickly. &#8220;My rent is $2,500/month,&#8221; one user said. After taxes, retirement and health insurance, the $75,000 salary is about $4,000 take-home, they explained.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Family Size and Debt Matter</h2>

&#8220;Try buying a house, car, and raising a family on that,&#8221; one user said. Another clarified that daycare and healthcare premiums alone cost them $45,000 a year after taxes. &#8220;That's like $60K in salary just to pay for those two things.&#8221;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Several people noted that $75,000 used to go a lot further. &#8220;75K was a lot of money in 2020. Things changed. It&#8217;s officially low income now.&#8221;
&#8220;75K before COVID was solidly middle-middle class,&#8221; another said. &#8220;Now even in the middle of the country it would be an uncomfortable lower-middle-class salary.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Reddit Bubble</h2>
Some users pointed out that Reddit isn't exactly a cross-section of America, as &#8220;many Redditors live in high-cost-of-living&#8221; cities where that salary is low. Another added, &#8220;Reddit skews toward upper-class users.&#8221;
&#8220;Because all Redditors are in IT, engineering, or computer science and expect to get paid $150K out of college,&#8221; someone joked.

But jokes aside, that bias affects perception. &#8220;In my current bubble, a single person making $75K is able to cover the basics, but doesn't have much disposable income. They are the &#8216;broke&#8217; friend.&#8221;
On average, a single person must make about $96,500 a year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40352204/do-you-know-what-salary-it-takes-to-live-comfortably-heres-a-hint-its-much-higher-than-the-avera">to live comfortably</a> in a major U.S. city. By the end of 2023, the average single-person salary in the U.S. was about $59,384, and the median household income stood at $74,580, according to the <a href="https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2023/demo/p60-279.html">Census Bureau</a>. When you compare those numbers to what it takes to live comfortably today, it&#8217;s clear why so many people feel squeezed—even those earning above-average wages.
In the end, $75,000 is a decent salary on paper. But when you consider taxes, geography, lifestyle, and inflation, it becomes apparent why so many people see it as less than comfortable.

'Someone Asked Why '$75K Is Seen As A Low Salary On Reddit.' The Responses Actually Make More Sense Than You'd Expect

On April 11, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/banks">some of the biggest U.S. banks</a> will conduct earnings calls, including JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>).
BofA Securities writes that banks will &#8220;likely strike a cautious tone&#8221; and focus on risks tied to policy uncertainties like tariffs and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Major credit issues aren&#8217;t expected yet, but banks may start setting aside more reserves due to growing economic concerns.

Investors will watch for signs of consumer and corporate strength, particularly in investment banking and lending. They will gauge whether conditions will improve in the second half of 2025 or worsen further.
The analyst writes, &#8220;We see upside to our estimates driven by stronger trading revenues. Debt capital markets a potential silver-lining in an otherwise slow investment banking quarter. Seasonal decline in cards balances, muted commercial demand to temper loan growth. Steeper yield curve in early 1Q25 probably drives better NII growth for 1Q25.&#8221;
BofA revised JPMorgan&#8217;s price target from $285 to $284, Citigroup Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) from $90 to $89, Wells Fargo from $85 to $83, and Morgan Stanley from $150 to $144.
