The SEC has dropped a federal investigation into Uniswap Labs, the creator of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/uniswap-uni-price-prediction">world&#8217;s largest decentralized crypto exchange</a>, Uniswap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/uni/usd">UNI</a>).
What Happened: According to people familiar with the matter, as <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-sp500-nasdaq-02-25-2025/card/sec-drops-investigation-into-defi-firm-uniswap-labs-mbYCwx3CXwfPt8Juv3vD">reported</a> by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission has concluded its investigation into Uniswap and does not plan to pursue any enforcement actions. 
This development comes after Uniswap received a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38192295/defi-giant-uniswap-faces-sec-lawsuit-founder-vows-to-fight-for-freedom">Wells notice from the SEC</a> in April last year, indicating a potential lawsuit over concerns that the exchange was operating as an unregistered securities exchange and that its UNI token might be classified as an unregistered security.

Why It Matters: The decision to drop the Uniswap investigation follows a series of similar moves by regulators, suggesting a broader shift in the regulatory approach to cryptocurrencies. 
On Monday, the SEC agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43914267/sec-drops-investigation-into-robinhoods-crypto-unit">end its investigation</a> into Robinhood&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) crypto unit without imposing any enforcement action. 
Robinhood&#8217;s chief legal and compliance officer, Dan Gallagher, stated, &#8220;Robinhood Crypto has always operated within federal securities laws and has never facilitated securities transactions.&#8221;
Last week, the SEC also dropped its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43883117/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-says-sec-has-agreed-to-end-bogus-enforcement-case-without-penalties">enforcement case against Coinbase</a>, which Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong described as a &#8220;bogus&#8221; attack on the cryptocurrency industry. 
Armstrong revealed that Coinbase spent over $50 million in external legal fees fighting the case and called for clearer crypto regulations from Congress.
These regulatory developments have had a positive impact on the crypto market. Robinhood&#8217;s shares have gained 38% year-to-date, reflecting growing investor confidence in a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets. 
Similarly, Coinbase&#8217;s stock has shown resilience, with Armstrong expressing optimism about the future of crypto regulation in the United States.
What&#8217;s Next: The shift in regulatory approach aligns with President Donald Trump&#8216;s previously stated plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43836911/trump-reiterates-resolve-to-make-us-the-crypto-capital-critic-labels-idea-of-bitcoin-reserve-legislation-absurd">support the crypto sector</a>, marking a departure from the enforcement-first strategy under former SEC chair Gary Gensler. 
This change has been welcomed by many in the industry who had criticized the previous approach for creating uncertainty rather than providing clear regulations.

SEC Drops Another Case: Uniswap Investigation Concludes Without Enforcement

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) shares were climbing on Tuesday after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43937535/home-depot-lifts-annual-dividend-after-strong-q4-but-soft-2025-outlook-weighs-on-stock">upbeat fourth-quarter results</a>.
The results came in amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On Home Depot</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58580bcbee7bf60001bcfa29/kate-mcshane">Analyst Kate McShane</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $410.
Home Depot reported its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings at $3.13 per share, beating consensus of $3.01 per share, McShane said in a note. The company's net sales grew by 14.1% year-on-year to $39.7 billion, surpassing consensus of $39.2 billion, with comparable sales growing 0.8%, she added.
Growth in both average ticket size and transactions accelerated sequentially during the quarter, and marked the first time since the first quarter of 2021 that transactions were positive, the analyst stated. Management guided to 2025 sales growth of about 2.8%, below consensus of 3.3%, and a 2.0% decline in earnings versus consensus of 4.6% growth, she further mentioned.

Home Depot reported strong quarterly results with the first year-on-year earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2022, Horvers said. While earnings beat consensus by 3%, comps came in at 0.8% versus Street's expectations of a contraction of 1.5%, he added.
"HD expects +1.0% comp, +2.8% sales growth, 33.4% gross margin (flat YOY), a 13.4% adjusted operating margin and adjusted EPS to decline 2% to $14.93e," the analyst wrote. The guidance appears conservative, he further stated.

It is the world's largest bauxite miner and alumina refiner by production volume, and the eighth-largest aluminum producer.

Shares of software stocks are trading lower amid overall market weakness. Weak consumer confidence and China uncertainty may be weighing on growth and tech-related stocks. Additionally, weak guidance from zoom may also be affecting sector sentiment.

On Tuesday,&nbsp;Elanco Animal Health Incorporated&nbsp; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELAN#NYSE">ELAN</a>) reported fourth-quarter revenue of $1.02 billion, a decrease of 1% on a reported basis or a 4% organic constant currency growth, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $1.01 billion</a>.
The animal health company reported adjusted EPS of 14 cents, up from 8 cents year over year, but it missed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43936670/elanco-animal-health-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of 15 cents</a>.

Pet Health&nbsp;revenue was&nbsp;$439 million, up 6% year-over-year, with a 3% increase from price in the quarter, primarily driven by contributions from the continued strength of global over-the-counter retail parasiticide business and new products, including Zenrelia and Credelio Plus, which were partially offset by competitive pressures in the U.S. veterinary channel.
Farm Animal&nbsp;revenue was&nbsp;$570 million, a 7%&nbsp;decrease on a reported basis and a 2% increase on an organic constant currency basis.
In addition to a 3% contribution from price in the fourth quarter, the year-over-year organic constant currency growth was also driven by the continued strong demand for Experior and Rumensin in the U.S. and strong demand for swine across multiple geographies.
Adjusted EBITDA was&nbsp;$177 million, an increase of 7%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.4%, an increase of 150 basis points.
Guidance: Elanco expects 2025 revenues of $4.45 billion—$4.51 billion versus the consensus of $4.53 billion and adjusted EPS of 80-86 cents versus the consensus of 90 cents.
The company anticipates a headwind to revenue of approximately&nbsp;$110 million&nbsp;from the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates.
&#8220;We are focused on accelerating organic constant currency revenue growth for 2025, with continued efforts to improve our earnings potential and leverage profile. As we navigate a dynamic macroeconomic backdrop, we remain confident in the underlying drivers of the 2025 outlook provided during the November earnings call. The only adjustment we have made is for incremental currency headwinds using rates from earlier this month,&#8221; said&nbsp;Todd Young, Executive Vice President and CFO of Elanco.
For the first quarter of 2025, the company expects revenues of $1.16 billion—$1.18 billion versus a consensus of $1.21 billion and adjusted EPS of 29-34 cents versus a consensus of 30 cents.
William Blair analyst Brandon Vazquez writes, &#8220;We acknowledge Elanco is creating a pathway to an improved P&amp;L statement, but we continue to think it might take multiple quarters to start to see a return on commercial investments, which might limit share upside for now.&#8221;
The analyst maintains the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELAN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Market Perform rating</a>.
Price Action: ELAN stock is down 4.68% at $10.59 at the last check on Tuesday.

One of the greatest truths in investing is that the best deals are often found in chaos. When the market panics, the savvy investor sharpens their knife. No firm exemplifies this better than Apollo Global Management (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/APO">APO</a>), a master of buying assets on the cheap and turning them into gold.
And it just so happens that Apollo must report its holdings, giving us an excellent opportunity to use their talent to follow along with some great plays.
So, let's take a look at Apollo's top ten holdings.
Apollo was born in 1990, rising from the ashes of Drexel Burnham Lambert, the infamous junk bond house that imploded in scandal. However, while the regulators took down Michael Milken and Drexel, they could not kill the fundamental idea that distressed debt and undervalued companies make for lucrative hunting grounds. Leon Black, along with Joshua Harris and Marc Rowan, took that expertise and built Apollo into one of the most feared and respected names in private equity.
From day one, Apollo has thrived in the dark corners of the market, picking up distressed assets and turning them into high-return machines. They are neither afraid of leverage nor shy away from businesses others would not touch with a ten-foot pole. They understand that when everyone else is running for the exits, that is when you should be buying.
Look at LyondellBasell. The petrochemical giant went belly-up in 2009, a victim of the Great Recession. Apollo swooped in, snapped up the debt for pennies on the dollar, and took control of the company. By 2013, they had turned their investment into one of the biggest windfalls in private equity history, generating billions in profits. That is what buying low and selling high really looks like.
But Apollo is not just about one-off distressed plays. They have mastered finding undervalued assets, restructuring them, and creating long-term value. Their $27 billion leveraged buyout of Harrah's (now Caesars Entertainment) in 2006 was another textbook move. Though the financial crisis nearly broke the deal, Apollo played the long game, navigating through bankruptcy restructuring and ultimately emerging with a profitable investment.
This is a firm that understands one of the most powerful principles of wealth creation: The best investments are made when assets are cheap, unpopular, and misunderstood. Whether distressed debt, unloved real estate, or an entire industry most investors overlook, Apollo knows how to find and extract value.
Most investors do not realize that they can harness Apollo's talent and brain power to deliver market-beating returns for their portfolios.
Tracking the firms buying and selling activities by reading the firm's 13f filings has provided significant opportunities for investors who take the time and effort to peruse the documents.
Here are Apollo's top holdings as of the end of December 2024:

<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.

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around STMicroelectronics?

American businesses operating in Spain are raising concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43628767/trump-freezes-billions-in-federal-funding-jobs-and-projects-in-clean-energy-conservation-and-transportation-left-in-limbo">President Donald Trump</a>'s proposed reciprocal tariffs, arguing that Spain's unique trade relationship with the U.S. should be taken into account. The American Chamber of Commerce in Spain has urged the administration to recognize that Spain imports more from the U.S. than it exports, unlike the European Union as a whole.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Companies in Spain Seek Special Consideration</h2>
AmChamSpain recently sent a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, requesting that Spain be treated differently when establishing new tariffs, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/us-companies-madrid-ask-trump-treat-spain-differently-2025-02-19/">according to Reuters</a>. The group emphasized that Spain imported 28.1 billion euros ($30 billion) worth of American goods in 2024, while exporting only 18.1 billion euros ($19 billion) in products like olive oil, wine, and petrochemicals to the U.S.

</ul>
&#8220;AmChamSpain urges the U.S. administration to consider this different reality when establishing new tariffs,&#8221; the organization told Reuters. The chamber called for diplomatic dialogue to prevent trade retaliation and reduce uncertainty for businesses and workers on both sides of the Atlantic.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Reciprocal Tariff Plan</h2>
Trump has ordered an investigation into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43757529/if-they-charge-us-we-charge-them-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-plan-for-steel-and-aluminum">new reciprocal tariffs</a>, arguing that countries imposing tariffs on U.S. goods should face equivalent duties in return. &#8220;They charge us a tax or tariff, and we charge them the exact same,&#8221; Trump told reporters earlier this month The administration is also considering the impact of value-added taxes, which Trump has described as more punitive than traditional tariffs.
Then-Commerce Secretary nominee <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43840909/trumps-goal-is-to-abolish-irs-and-let-all-the-outsiders-pay-says-newly-confirmed-commerce-secretary-howard-lutnick">Howard Lutnick</a> said the tariff investigation would be completed by April 1, after which Trump will decide on the measures to implement.
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>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Economic Impact</h2>
While the administration argues that reciprocal tariffs will promote fairer trade, critics warn they could escalate into a broader trade war. Economists note that tariffs often increase costs for businesses and consumers. Importers paying higher duties may pass those costs to retailers, ultimately leading to higher prices for everyday goods.
The European Commission has pushed back on Trump's tariff proposal, saying that the EU already imposes some of the world&#8217;s lowest tariffs, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/us-companies-madrid-ask-trump-treat-spain-differently-2025-02-19/">according to Reuters</a>. Meanwhile, trade experts have cautioned that the plan could affect industries reliant on international supply chains, such as pharmaceuticals and automotive manufacturing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Seeking a Diplomatic Resolution</h2>
AmChamSpain's plea highlights the challenges of applying broad trade policies without considering country-specific dynamics. The organization hopes that U.S. officials will acknowledge Spain's trade deficit with the U.S. and work toward a solution that avoids economic disruption.
As the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43872067/from-colas-to-taxes-trumps-social-security-changes-so-far">Trump administration</a> moves forward with its tariff review, businesses in Spain and across the EU remain wary of potential economic consequences. Whether the U.S. will exempt Spain or negotiate alternative trade terms remains to be seen.
