<h3>About Eaton Corp</h3>
Founded in 1911 by Joseph Eaton, the eponymous company began by selling truck axles in New Jersey. Eaton has since become an industrial powerhouse largely through acquisitions in various end markets. Eaton's portfolio can broadly be divided into two parts: its electrical and industrial businesses. Its electrical portfolio (representing around 70% of company revenue) sells components within data centers, utilities, and commercial and residential buildings, while its industrial business (30% of revenue) sells components within commercial and passenger vehicles and aircraft. Eaton receives favorable tax treatment as a domiciliary of Ireland, but it generates over half of its revenue within the US.

Behind the Scenes of Eaton Corp's Latest Options Trends

If you were hoping corporations would take one for the team and absorb the cost of new tariffs, financial expert Dave Ramsey has some bad news: They won't.
With President Donald Trump's latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44092335/trumps-tariffs-threaten-canada-mexico-china-and-american-wallets">executive order on tariffs</a> stirring up controversy, consumers are left wondering what it means for their wallets. The plan? Pressure trade partners and boost U.S. manufacturing. The reality? Well, let's just say Walmart isn't in the habit of handing out charity discounts.
When Brianna from Washington, D.C., called into <a href="https://youtu.be/5-an7POj7mA?si=gyQundAuqPyAeo77">The Dave Ramsey Show</a> with the million-dollar question—"How will Trump's new tariffs affect me personally?" co-host Ken Coleman didn't dance around it.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prices Will Go Up. No Question.</h2>
"Tariffs will affect us, there's no question… Even President Trump has said, and I quote, that prices will go up," Coleman explained.
It's Economics 101: when the government slaps a tax on imported goods, businesses pass that cost straight to the consumer. Coleman put it bluntly: "I have never seen companies not pass on increased costs to consumers."
Still, he acknowledged the long-term effects are uncertain: "It's too soon to tell" how it'll all shake out.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey's Take: Not So Fast.</h2>
Ramsey agreed that prices will rise, but he wasn't convinced the situation was as dire as some might think. He pointed to existing trade policies—like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44067456/ive-got-a-friend-building-a-house-in-cabo-dave-ramsey-tries-to-explain-trumps-tariffs-but-people-say-hes-out-of-touch-and-wrong">Mexico's long-standing 33% tax</a> on U.S. goods—as proof that tariffs aren't necessarily economic doomsday.
"If you're an American company wanting to sell things in Mexico, you face a 33% upcharge today. That's been in place for years. Did it crash either economy? No. Did it slow down business in Mexico? Yes. That's the net effect," he said.
And while Americans will undoubtedly feel the squeeze, Ramsey noted that other countries might have more to worry about: "Canadians are very, very afraid of what it's going to do to them. It's much more damaging to them."
That said, he wasn't about to let consumers off the hook:
"You will pay more. No question about it. 100%. Companies do not eat taxes," Ramsey stated.
To drive the point home, he laid it out in everyday terms:
"Corporate taxes are built into the price of the item you buy from Walmart. Walmart does not pay taxes. You pay taxes when you buy potato chips at Walmart. You pay all their taxes for them. It's built into the price. They don't work for nothing."

Coleman's Optimism: Tax Cuts Could Change the Game.
Coleman, however, argued there's another factor at play—tax cuts and deregulation.
"If the president extends his tax cuts, that will help the American consumer," he said. "The second thing I think he'll do is cut regulations on American businesses, and that also offsets tariffs."
Translation? If Trump plays his cards right, "You won't feel it." And Coleman is betting that's exactly what will happen.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey's Prediction: This Is a Negotiation Tactic.</h2>
Ramsey had a different theory. In his view, these tariffs are less about long-term policy and more about leverage.
"It already appears as though none of this is going to happen with Canada and Mexico. That's my opinion. But it may require that Mexico and Canada start treating American goods the way we treat theirs," he said.
He compared Trump's tactics to a street brawl: "I think Trump threw a grenade in the middle of it to get some other stuff. He's a New York street fighter, and that's how he negotiates."
Instead, Ramsey predicted countries like Vietnam—where trade imbalances are significant—would be the real targets of tariffs, while Mexico and Canada will likely reach a deal.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should You Worry? Ramsey Says No.</h2>
For those worried about rising costs, Ramsey had one simple piece of advice: don't panic.
"<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Debt-free people</a> aren't worried about inflation. And they're not picking up goods in their house going, ‘Wait a minute, was this made in Canada?'"
As for all the economic doom-and-gloom?
"Most of what's on the news is malarkey."
Bottom line: If tariffs take effect, prices will rise. But Coleman believes tax cuts will offset the pain, and Ramsey thinks the tariffs on Canada and Mexico might not even happen. Either way, don't expect corporations to take the hit—it's coming straight to your receipt.

A new compound that provides the pain-relieving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36578723/huge-study-reveals-cannabis-provides-similar-pain-relief-benefits-as-opioids-without-negative-co">properties of cannabis</a> without the mind-altering effects can serve as an effective alternative to opioids for pain relief, according to researchers who developed the compound that mimics a natural molecule found in the cannabis plant.
Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Stanford University found the compound harnesses the pain-relieving properties of cannabis without causing addiction in mice.
"There is an urgent need to develop non-addictive treatments for chronic pain, and that's been a major focus of my lab for the past 15 years," said lead author Susruta Majumdar, Ph.D of Washington University School of Medicine.
"The custom-designed compound we created attaches to pain-reducing receptors in the body but by design, it can't reach the brain. This means the compound avoids psychoactive side effects such as mood changes and isn't addictive because it doesn't act on the brain's reward center," Majumdar said.
The <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08618-7">findings</a>, published in the journal Nature on March 5, showed that in both mouse models, injections of the modified compound eliminated touch hypersensitivity.
Majumdar, a professor of anesthesiology, explained in a Washington University <a href="https://medicine.washu.edu/news/compound-harnesses-cannabis-pain-relieving-properties-without-side-effects/">press release</a> that opioids dull the sensation of pain in the brain and hijack the brain's reward system, triggering the release of dopamine and feelings of pleasure, which make opioids so addictive.
Government surveys show analgesics, or medications that control pain, are the most commonly prescribed type of drug in hospitals. And, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db491.htm">according</a> to the Centers for Disease Control drug overdoses related to opioids, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/fentanyl">fentanyl</a> are among the leading causes of accidental death in the U.S. In 2022, some 82,000 deaths in the U.S. were linked to opioids.
"For millennia, people have turned to marijuana as a treatment for pain. Clinical trials also have evaluated whether cannabis provides long-term pain relief," said co-corresponding study author Professor Robert Gereau of Washington University&#8217;s Medicine Pain Center.
&#8220;But inevitably the psychoactive side effects of cannabis have been problematic, preventing cannabis from being considered as a viable treatment option for pain. However, we were able to overcome that issue," Gereau added.
Approximately 125 million opioid prescriptions were dispensed&nbsp;to American patients in 2023 to treat moderate to severe pain, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/overdose-prevention/about/prescription-opioids.html#:~:text=Approximately%20125%20million%20opioid%20prescriptions">according</a> to the CDC.
In January 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/43404756/fda-approves-first-non-opioid-pain-pill-as-medical-marijuana-remains-a-proven-alternative-for-relief">approved</a> the first new pain reliever to hit the market in more than 20 years. This medication, produced by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>), is a non-opioid and therefore non-addictive.

Cannabis For Pain Relief: Scientists Develop New Compound Without Mind-Altering Effects — Alternative To Opioids?

Shares of Foot Locker Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) were heading south in early trading on Thursday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44138694/foot-locker-posts-q4-eps-beat-helped-by-comparable-sales-growth-and-margin-expansion">downbeat fourth-quarter sales</a>.
The results came in amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Telsey Advisory Group On Foot Locker
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5f9ab74825a7ef0001015b59/cristina-fernandez">Analyst Cristina Fernández</a> maintained a Market Perform rating, while reducing the price target from $24 to $20.
While Foot Locker reported healthy fourth-quarter results, its 2025 guidance felt short of expectations "due to lower total sales and operating margin," Fernández said in a note. Over the past couple of years, the company has raised the sales penetration of non-Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) brands to around 40%, she added.
"Foot Locker plans $300MM in capex in 2025, including higher spending in store remodels, while some technology projects have been delayed," the analyst wrote. While modernizing stores is the right way to go, the company's progress toward the 2028 operating margin target of 8.5%-9.0% "keeps getting pushed out," she further stated.

Needham On Foot Locker
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846ee56ee7bf6000154d12e/tom-nikic">Analyst Tom Nikic</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $24.
Foot Locker reported fourth-quarter comparable sales growth of 2.6%, in-line with the guidance range, while earnings of 86 cents per share came in above the guidance, Nikic said. "FL saw strength across a wide range of brands in Q4," he added.
Management guided earnings of 1.35-$1.65 per share for fiscal 2025, slightly below the consensus of $1.72 per share, the analyst stated. "Although sales in December/January were strong (both +MSD), management noted that QTD trends have been softer, with increasing macroeconomic uncertainty weighing on consumers&#8217; shopping patterns," he further wrote.
FL Price Action: Shares of Foot Locker were down 3.18% to $17.68 at the time of publication on Thursday.

미국 의회 의원들의 주식 거래 활동은 위원회 임무를 포함한 이해 상충이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/congress-trading" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">거래에 영향</a>을 미칠 수 있다는 가능성으로 인해 투자자들로부터 지속적으로 관심을 끌고 있다.
잘 알려진 한 의회 의원은 금요일 시장 마감 무렵에 여러 거래를 공개했다.
무슨 일이 있었나 (What Happened): 의회 거래 활동에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 여러 의회 거래 ETF가 생성되었으며 새로운 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/06/39299113/nancy-pelosi-among-best-of-the-best-in-stock-trading-new-congress-trading-etf-coming-from-cre">ETF</a>도 곧 만들어지고 있다.
상원 의원 토미 튜버빌(공화-알라바마주)은 의회에서 가장 활동적인 거래자 중 한 명이며 과거 거래에 대한 조사를 받았다. 이 상원 의원의 거래는 종종 대량과 큰 금액으로 이루어진다.
금요일에 튜버빌은 주로 이전 포지션의 매도와 신규 및 기존 포지션에 대한 콜옵션 및 풋옵션 매수로 이루어진 대량의 거래를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">공개</a>했다.
대규모 거래로는 클리블랜드 클리프스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) 주식 매각, 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) 주식 매각, 휴마사이트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUMA#NASDAQ">HUMA</a>) 포지션 청산 등이 포함됐다.
튜버빌은 또한 Ark Innovation ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>)의 콜과 풋을 매입했다.
이 상원의원은 또한 합병 가능성이 결렬된 미디어 회사인 파라마운트 글로벌(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/paraa" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for PARAA">PARAA</a>)의 주식도 매각했다.
최근 공개된 옵션 이외의 유일한 매수는 인텔 주식 추가와 헬스케어 기업인 솔벤텀 코퍼레이션(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOLV#NYSE">SOLV</a>)의 1,000~15,000달러 포지션이었다.
&#8220;속보: 튜버빌 상원의원은 언론 보도를 피하기 위해 의도적으로 금요일 오후에 수백만 달러의 거래를 보고했다&#8221;라고 콩그레스트레이딩(Congresstrading)이 금요일 <a href="https://x.com/congresstrading/status/1801709082299994303" target="_blank" rel="noopener">트윗</a>했다.
관련 링크: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/39096827/exclusive-khanna-says-shameful-congress-members-profited-from-stocks-calls-for-trading-ban-makin">독점: 주식투자로 이익 챙긴 2명의 의회 의원 비판…&#8217;팬데믹 기간 국민들 고생할 때 돈 벌이&#8217;</a>
왜 중요한가 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 튜버빌은 의회의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/04/38304279/tommy-tuberville-trades-raise-eyebrows-again-senator-sells-put-options-buys-small-biotech-linked-to" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">여러 위원회</a>에 소속돼 있다. 이로 인해 군사위원회에 배치되면서 휴마사이트와 같은 그의 주식 거래에 대한 관심이 높아지고, 상원 농업, 영양 및 임업 위원회에 배치되면서 운송 및 상품 관련 주식에 대한 관심이 높아졌다.
휴마사이트는 이전에도 러시아-우크라이나 전쟁 중 우크라이나에서 사용되는 제품과 연결되어 거래자들로부터 주목을 받았다.
올해 초 튜버빌이 지역 은행인 서던 스테이츠 뱅크셰어스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSBK#NASDAQ">SSBK</a>)의 주식을 50,000~100,000달러 매입했다는 공개가 이 은행의 CEO가 이전에 튜버빌의 캠페인에 기부했다는 사실이 알려지면서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/03/37829749/senator-tommy-tubervilles-latest-2-stock-trades-attract-the-wrong-kind-of-attention-should-this-" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">관심을 끌었다</a>.
튜버빌은 또한 조 바이든 대통령이 CHIPS 법에 서명하기 전에 인텔 주식을 구매한 바 있다. 이 CHIPS 법은 인텔을 포함한 칩 회사들에 500억 달러의 자금을 지원했다.
튜버빌의 담당자는 이전에 몽고메리 애드버타이저(Montgomery Advertiser)에게 자신의 포트폴리오를 관리하는 재정 자문가가 있다고 <a href="https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/politics/2022/09/13/senator-tommy-tuberville-stock-conflicts-committee-alabama-new-york-times/69491542007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">말했다</a>.
일부 의회 의원들은 주식 및 옵션 거래 금지를 지지했지만, 튜버빌은 과거에도 이러한 조치를 "말도 안 되는 일"이라며 반대해왔다.
"여기에 와서 봉사하려는 사람들의 수가 정말 줄어들 것이라고 생각한다. 정말 그렇다. 그런 것이 필요하지 않다"라고 튜버빌이 2022년에 더 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38304279/tommy-tuberville-trades-raise-eyebrows-again-senator-sells-put-options-buys-small-biotech-linked-to">인디펜던트</a>(The Independent)에 말했다.
