Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google's DeepMind is diving into marine science with a new AI model designed to help researchers decode dolphin communication.
What Happened: Earlier this week, Google DeepMind introduced DolphinGemma, an AI model trained to generate and interpret dolphin-like vocalizations.
Built on Google's open-source Gemma architecture, DolphinGemma was developed in collaboration with the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP), a nonprofit that studies Atlantic spotted dolphins in their natural habitat.
Using data collected from decades of dolphin field recordings, the model can produce sequences that mimic real dolphin sounds.

Google says DolphinGemma is efficient enough to run on mobile devices, and WDP plans to test it on the Pixel 9 smartphone. The team previously used a Pixel 6 to collect and analyze dolphin vocalizations, but the Pixel 9 will allow simultaneous execution of AI models and audio-matching algorithms in the field.
The goal is to create a system capable of generating synthetic dolphin vocalizations and listening for a matching "reply," potentially paving the way for two-way interaction with dolphins.

Why It's Important: Previously, a 2024 Nature <a href="https://www.nature.com/immersive/d41586-024-04050-5/index.html">report</a> highlighted that AI-powered research has revealed that African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) and common marmoset monkeys (Callithrix jacchus) use unique "names" for their peers.
Scientists are also applying machine learning to decode the vocalizations of crows.
Despite recent advances, experts caution that an animal equivalent of Google Translate is still a long way off. According to marine biologist David Gruber, founder of the Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI), the impressive progress in AI language models stems largely from access to massive datasets where the meanings of human language are already well-established.

Can AI Talk To Dolphins? Google's DeepMind Creates DolphinGemma To Explore Animal Language

U.S. stock futures declined on Wednesday following a muted day of trading on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket.
The Donald Trump administration levied a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle"> 245% tariff on China</a> late Tuesday. &#8220;China now faces up to a 245% tariff on imports to the United States as a result of its retaliatory actions,&#8221; stated a White House fact sheet.
Meanwhile, the new U.S. export restrictions halting the shipments of Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker"> H20 graphics processing units to China</a> were announced. The announcement comes after the U.S. government informed the company on April 9 that it would now require a license to export those chips.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.31% and the two-year bond was at 3.81%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool&#8217;s </a>projections show markets pricing a 79.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
According to Mona Mahajan of Edward Jones, the stock valuations were not stretched anymore. &#8220;While market returns have been negative this year, the upside is that valuations are now looking more compelling and are no longer stretched, which was a concern coming into this year.&#8221;
She highlighted that all major indexes were trading at or below their 10-year historical forward price-to-earnings multiples, potentially setting the stage for improved long-term returns.
The S&amp;P 500 forward multiple was around 18 times next year&#8217;s earnings forecast, down from a recent high of 22.7 times, while the Nasdaq forward multiple was about 21 times, down from its recent high of 30 times.
&#8220;In our view, the spike in volatility, a reset in valuations, and signs that the worst-case scenario in the trade war appears to be averted suggest that stocks may find some support and try to carve out a bottom. Risks have risen, but a recession is not inevitable in our view, and stocks appear to have already priced in a significant degree of bad outcomes,&#8221; she added.
Jason Goepfert of White Oak Consultancy LLC noted a historical pattern: whenever the VIX fear index drops from above 50 to the 30 level, the S&amp;P 500 has historically achieved 100% positive gains by year-end.
However, he points out that in the most recent such cycle in May 2020, the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s return after a year was 42.96%. Goepfert&#8217;s analysis of similar cycles in 2009, 2002, and 1988 also reveals a short-term median loss of 0.7% for the S&amp;P 500 in the week following the VIX&#8217;s drop to 30.

US Stock Likely To Open Lower As US-China Tariff War Continues: 'Valuations Are Now Looking More Compelling,' Says Expert

United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) said it will roll back its flight operations this summer as the company readies itself for a decline in air travel.
What Happened: In a full-year forecast released by the company, United Airlines announced it will cut its flight schedule by 4% starting in July, owing to softer customer demand.
The airline also announced it will retire 21 older aircraft from its fleet as well as scale back on off-peak flights on days with lower demand for air travel, which the company says is part of ‘prudent adjustments to the utilization rate of its fleet'.
The airlines also offered two forecasts — one scenario outlined a stable economy whilst the other outlined a ‘recessionary environment'. United said it earned $0.91 per share in Q1 2025.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as United recorded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44826858/united-airlines-stock-takes-off-on-q1-earnings-strong-q2-forecast-fy-guidance-for-stable-and-recessionary-environments-impossible-to-predict">over $13.21 billion</a> in revenue for the quarter, amid uncertainty as Donald Trump's tariffs wreak havoc in the global markets.
Delta Airlines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/04/44671680/which-us-airline-is-facing-the-strongest-industry-tailwinds">being the leader</a> in the sector, experienced a surge in stock value after the Donald Trump administration announced a 90-day halt on all tariffs, which had cast doubts over the company's 2025 plans.
However, the aviation industry in the U.S. faces uncertainty with China imposing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44831116/kimbal-musk-warns-of-boeings-decline-amid-us-china-decoupling-fewer-planes-pricier-parts-and-lost-jobs-as-airbus-gains-ground">halt on all imports </a>of aircraft made by manufacturer Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) into the country.
Boeing could face another challenge as it grapples with a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">$3.4 million in modification costs</a> to its fleet as the FAA proposes an airworthiness report after it reviewed an incident involving a Boeing aircraft where a passenger got stuck in the onboard lavatory.
Price action: UAL stock experienced a 29.79% YTD in value and currently trades for $67.00 on the NASDAQ, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

The S&amp;P 500 has given a 17.9% median return each time the CBOE Volatility Index has fallen from over 50 to the 30 level. Analysts highlight historical trends showing how volatility cycles lead to advances in the S&amp;P 500 index.
What Happened: According to Jason Goepfert, a consultant at White Oak Consultancy LLC, each time the fear index, VIX, goes through a cycle of being above 50 to falling to the 30 level, the S&amp;P 500 index logs in 100% of positive gains by the end of that year.
According to the data highlighted by Goepfert, during the most recent VIX cycle of 50-to-30 in May 2020, the S&amp;P 500 returned 42.96% after one year.
He highlighted data from similar such cycles from 2009, 2002, and 1988. However, historically, the S&amp;P 500 logs a 0.7% median loss after the first week on ending the said 50-to-30 VIX cycle.

On Wednesday, SPY was down 1.45% and QQQ dropped 2.23%. The Dow Jones futures dropped by 0.78%, the S&amp;P 500 futures were lower by 1.39%, and the Nasdaq 100 declined by 2.14%.

S&P 500 Typically Gains 18% In A Year After VIX Drops From 50 To 30 Level: Here's What Analysts Say

In the latest development in the ongoing U.S.-China trade conflict, U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has called upon China to initiate negotiations.
What Happened: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt conveyed Trump&#8217;s sentiments during a Tuesday press briefing, stating, &#8220;The ball is in China's court. China needs to make a deal with us. We don't have to make a deal with them.&#8221; Trump&#8217;s remarks underscore China&#8217;s reliance on the American consumer, implying that the Asian giant needs U.S. funds.
This recent turn of events indicates that both nations are holding their ground, with no immediate end to the trade dispute in sight. The ongoing conflict has resulted in both countries implementing substantial trade barriers.

Furthermore, the trade dispute has had a direct impact on the aviation industry. On Tuesday, China reportedly instructed its airline companies to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44822589/boeing-stock-is-sliding-tuesday-whats-going-on">halt deliveries</a> of Boeing jets, leading to a decline in Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) shares. President Trump expressed discontent over this and posted on his Truth Social: &#8220;..they just reneged on the big Boeing deal&#8221;.
The shares of Boeing fell 2.39% to close at $155.52&nbsp;on Tuesday, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">BenzingaPro</a>. 
President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order to launch a national security investigation on critical minerals—The move aims to challenge China's dominance in rare earth supply chains and battery minerals, as the U.S. seeks to become self-sufficient in its critical minerals supply.
Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping has set out on a tour of Southeast Asia to strengthen trade ties with allies amid mounting U.S. tariff pressures.

Why United Airlines Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 6%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Amid rising global trade turmoil, U.S. Vice-President&nbsp;JD Vance&nbsp;has voiced his positive outlook on a potential trade agreement with the U.K.
What Happened: Vance, during an interview with the UnHerd website, mentioned that there is a &#8220;good chance&#8221; of finalizing a trade pact with the U.K. &#8220;We're working very hard on a trade deal with the Starmer government&#8230;.I think there's a good chance that, yes, we'll come to a great agreement that's in the best interest of both countries,&#8221; JD Vance <a href="https://unherd.com/2025/04/transcript-unherds-interview-with-jd-vance/">told </a>UnHerd.
The U.S. Vice President is also optimistic about stronger relations with Europe. &#8220;We just want it to be an alliance where Europeans are a little more independent, and our security and trade relationships are gonna reflect that,&#8221; Vance stated.
Vance proposed that a U.S.-U.K. trade agreement would be simpler to secure than with other European countries due to a &#8220;much more reciprocal relationship&#8221;. He pointed to Germany as an example of a country that exports extensively to the U.S. but is &#8220;pretty tough&#8221; on a lot of American exports.
However, an ally of the Vice President told The Independent that Mr. Vance believes that free speech is under threat in Britain – and that he will insist the Keir Starmer government repeal laws against hateful comments, including those targeting LGBT+ groups or other minorities, as a condition for any agreement. 
"No free speech, no deal. It is as simple as that,"&nbsp;the source told the publication.

Why It Matters: This statement comes in the wake of the global stock market&#8217;s instability following President Donald Trump&#8216;s declaration of comprehensive tariffs on almost all nations on April 2. The revised U.S. trade policy imposes a 10% &#8220;baseline&#8221;&nbsp;tariff on all imports from&nbsp;long-standing trade allies such as the U.K. and France. 
The ongoing trade war in the U.S. has placed tech giants like&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) at the center of negotiations. In an attempt to appease President Trump&#8217;s tariffs, the U.K. government has offered significant tax relief to these U.S. tech giants. U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer proposed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44663080/apple-facebook-and-google-become-bargaining-chips-in-us-trade-war-eu-threatens-retaliation-uk-offers-tax-relief-for-lower-tariffs"> reducing the digital services tax </a>(DST) for major U.S. tech firms in exchange for lower tariffs.
U.K. Business and Trade Minister Sarah Jones expressed her appreciation for Vance&#8217;s remarks and confirmed to BBC that discussions with the U.S. were underway, but did not provide a timeline for their completion. However, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey voiced his concerns and stressed the need for any U.S. trade agreement to be &#8220;properly examined&#8221; by ministers, reported the BBC.

Vision Marine Technologies Announces The Successful Completion Of Internal Hull Optimization In Collaboration With Renowned German Boatbuilder, MS Marine GmbH

Healthcare technology company Semler Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>) announced its latest securities offering Tuesday to add to its fast-expanding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) stockpile.
What happened: In a Form S-3 registration statement with the SEC, the firm proposed to offer $500 million in securities, including debt securities, common stock, units, and warrants.
"We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered under this prospectus primarily for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin," Semler said.&nbsp;
Semler <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/3904">adopted Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset</a> in May 2024,&nbsp; funding its purchases through corporate maneuvers such as equity and debt financings, as well as cash flows from its operations.

Earlier in January, the firm<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43195291/microstrategy-devotee-semler-scientific-doubles-down-on-bitcoin-buys"> issued convertible bonds worth $85 million</a> and used proceeds from the transaction to add to its Bitcoin reserves.
Metaplanet owned 3,192 BTCs worth $280 million as of this writing, making it the 12th-largest corporate holder of the leading cryptocurrency, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">according </a>to BitcoinTreasuries data.&nbsp;
Interestingly, the decision to buy more comes despite the firm&#8217;s 5% unrealized loss on Bitcoin assets.
Why It Matters: Semler's fundraising efforts come amid a broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption, evangelized by Michael Saylor's Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43878748/michael-saylor-bitcoin-is-economic-armor-calls-on-us-to-accumulate-btc">the world's biggest BTC hoarder</a>.

Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $83,169.20, down 3.11% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

Despite Unrealized Losses, Semler Scientific Plans $500 Million Securities Offering To Boost Bitcoin Holdings

Longtime shareholder of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth &amp; Investment Management, Ross Gerber criticized Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday, saying that Musk &#8220;doesn&#8217;t care&#8221; about the electric car manufacturer.
What Happened: &#8220;It&#8217;s clear that he just doesn&#8217;t care,&#8221; Gerber said in an interview <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-04-15/gerber-musk-doesn-t-care-about-tesla-video">with</a> Bloomberg Technology. &#8220;His next move is X AI&#8230; So if you have any confusion that he&#8217;s coming back to Tesla, he&#8217;s not.&#8221;
Gerber defended his criticism after a backlash from retail investors. &#8220;I understand why retail investors at Tesla are frustrated with me for voicing my views,&#8221; he said, adding that he&#8217;s &#8220;getting attacked because of Elon&#8217;s behavior.&#8221;
Tesla&#8217;s stock has declined 33% year-to-date. Gerber links the EV maker&#8217;s stock performance to Musk&#8217;s outside activities and reduced involvement with the company.

Why It Matters: Tesla continues to lead the U.S. EV market, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44802015/us-electric-vehicle-sales-up-11-in-q1-as-tesla-declines-the-winners-and-losers">according to data from Cox Automotive</a>, however, sales fell 8.6% year over year in the first quarter of 2025, while the market as a whole expanded 11.4%.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, a long Tesla bull, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44346423/teslas-biggest-bull-frustrated-with-elon-musks-focus-on-doge-over-company-patience-wearing-thin">echoed similar concerns</a>, noting &#8220;Tesla investors are seeing patience wear thin&#8221; due to Musk&#8217;s absence from Tesla while focusing on his role in President Donald Trump&#8216;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Despite his criticisms, Gerber maintains Tesla holdings for clients. &#8220;We still own Tesla because I do think something fixes itself at some point, and they have the best products,&#8221; he said.

Tesla Bull Ross Gerber Says Elon Musk 'Doesn't Care' About Company Anymore, Blames Focus On Other Ventures For EV Maker's Slump

More than a decade after Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) turned down a multibillion-dollar buyout from Facebook, the failed deal is back in the spotlight as Mark Zuckerberg testifies in Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44805013/mark-zuckerberg-takes-the-stand-as-landmark-antitrust-trial-threatens-to-break-up-metas-137-trillion-empire-trial-will-show-what-every-17-year-old-in-the-world-knows-says-spokesperson">high-stakes antitrust trial</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, during his second day on the witness stand, Zuckerberg addressed a 2013 email in which he offered $6 billion to acquire Snapchat—double the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/13/11/4077625/facebooks-3-billion-offer-rejected-by-snapchat">$3 billion previously reported</a>, according to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-meta-antitrust-trial-snapchat-buyout-bid-2025-4">a</a> report by Business Insider.
"I delivered the offer to Evan and he seemed to take it well," Zuckerberg wrote in the email, referencing Snap CEO Evan Spiegel. "He told me he thought he could get it done and that he'd call me back quickly."
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43557821/evan-spiegel-takes-a-shot-at-mark-zuckerberg-over-meta-copying-snapchats-features-on-instagram-and-facebook">deal never materialized</a>. Zuckerberg told the court he believed Snapchat "wasn't growing at the potential that it could" and added, "If we would have bought them, we would have accelerated their growth, but that's just speculation."
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44778760/netflix-debuts-openai-backed-search-engine-that-lets-you-discover-movies-and-tv-shows-based-on-emotions-not-just-titles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netflix Debuts OpenAI-Backed Search Engine That Lets You Discover Movies And TV Shows Based On Emotions, Not Just Titles</a>
The Federal Trade Commission introduced the email as part of its argument that Meta pursued acquisitions like Instagram and WhatsApp to eliminate competition and maintain dominance in the social media space.
Snap spokesperson Monique Bellamy told the publication, "Anticompetitive behavior can often slow and thwart growth for smaller companies… Meta's attempt to buy Snap, and then egregiously copy its features, was an attempt to do just that."
While testifying, Zuckerberg acknowledged that Snapchat was and continues to be a significant competitor.
Why It's Important: The FTC's lawsuit could reshape the tech landscape. It accuses Meta of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44821791/meta-platforms-used-buy-or-bury-strategy-to-monopolize-social-media-ftc-says">using a "buy or bury"</a> strategy to suppress rivals, potentially forcing the company to divest Instagram and WhatsApp.
Meta denies wrongdoing, arguing it faces strong competition from platforms like TikTok and YouTube, the platform owned by Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.

On Monday, the trial revealed internal strategies, such as Zuckerberg&#8217;s unexecuted plan to reset all Facebook users&#8217; connections in 2022, aimed at keeping the platform culturally relevant.
Price Action: On Tuesday, Meta's stock fell by 1.87%, closing at $521.51, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Defends Meta In FTC Trial Over $6 Billion Offer To Acquire Snapchat: 'We Would Have Accelerated Their Growth'

On Tuesday, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google rolled out its Veo 2 model to Gemini Advanced users.
What Happened: After a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42609242/marques-brownlee-breaks-down-how-googles-ai-video-generator-veo2-outpaces-openais-sora">limited four-month preview</a>, Google has started expanding access to its Veo 2 text-to-video generator through the $20/month Gemini Advanced plan.
The tool lets users create 720p video clips up to eight seconds long using natural language prompts. Currently, Veo 2 supports only the 16:9 landscape format and generates MP4 files, which can be shared directly to TikTok or YouTube.
Powered by a large language model, Veo 2 can adapt to real-world physics and human motion, making it more advanced than earlier versions.

Earnings Scheduled For April 16, 2025

ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) reported better-than-expected first-quarter earnings as its revenue and earnings per share beat analyst estimates on Wednesday.
What Happened: A Dutch lithography equipment supplier to Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), ASML, reported its first-quarter revenue of €7.742 billion or $8.764 billion, beating analyst estimates of $7.760 billion by 12.94%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASML/earnings">Benzinga</a>.
Sequentially, the revenue declined by 16.75% from €9.3 billion in the fourth quarter.
It reported basic earnings of €6 or $6.83 per share, 18.58% above estimates of $5.760. However, it declined sequentially by 12.41% from €6.85 per share in the fourth quarter.
The company&#8217;s gross profit stood at €4.180 billion or $4.757 billion, down 12.73% from €4.790 billion in the fourth quarter.
&#8220;Our first-quarter total net sales came in at €7.7 billion, in line with our guidance. The gross margin was 54.0%, above guidance, driven by a favorable EUV product mix and the achievement of performance milestones. In the first quarter, we shipped our fifth High NA system, and we now have these systems at three customers,&#8221; said the CEO of ASML, Christophe Fouquet.
Buyback: In the first quarter, ASML purchased around €2.7 billion worth of shares under the current 2022-2025 share buyback program.

Guidance: &#8220;We expect second-quarter total net sales between €7.2 billion and €7.7 billion, with a gross margin between 50% and 53%. We expect R&amp;D costs of around €1.2 billion and SG&amp;A costs of around €300 million. As we previously communicated, we expect total net sales for the year between €30 billion and €35 billion, with a gross margin between 51% and 53%, subject to the uncertainties mentioned earlier,&#8221; said Fouquet.
Price Action: ASML ended 1.53% higher on Tuesday at $683.16 apiece, the exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), on the other hand, rose just 0.11%.
ASML has declined 2.46% on a year-to-date basis, whereas it has dropped 30.07% over a year.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings indicate that ASML has a weaker price trend over the short, medium, and long term. Its momentum ranking was weak at the 23.73th percentile, whereas its growth and value rankings were mixed; more details on the fundamentals are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">available here</a>.
