Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Lamb Weston Price Expectations Ahead Of Q3 Earnings

Legendary stock picker Warren Buffett has refused to include cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), in his firm Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) portfolio, but the holding company, interestingly, has exposure to a firm that pitches the apex cryptocurrency as an inflation hedge.
What happened: According to the latest 13F filing, Berkshire Hathaway holds 433,558 shares of financial services company Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEF#NYSE">JEF</a>), worth nearly $34 million.
The New York City-headquartered firm operates in investment banking and capital markets, and asset management businesses.
Notably, Jefferies holds a sizeable stake in iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), the world's largest spot exchange-traded Bitcoin fund. Filings with the SEC revealed that Jefferies owned 1,615,731 shares of IBIT, valued at over $85 million.

The investment likely stemmed from its bullish long-term view about the leading digital asset.
Jefferies deemed Bitcoin as a "critical hedge" against fiat debasement and inflation, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/05/bitcoin-is-a-critical-hedge-against-currency-debasement-and-return-of-inflation-jefferies-says.html">according </a>to an October 2023 report by CNBC.
The investment bank said Bitcoin's insurance policy narrative gained traction following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32705921/us-banking-crisis-spurs-756-billion-capital-surge-into-cash-funds-says-bank-of-america">U.S. banking crisis</a> earlier in the year, and it recommended a 10% allocation to the asset for U.S. dollar-based long-term global investors.
This optimism sharply contrasted with Buffett&#8217;s dismissive attitude toward Bitcoin. The &#8220;Oracle of Omaha&#8221; called Bitcoin &#8220;probably rat poison squared&#8221; during Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s annual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37513063/warren-buffett-says-he-wouldnt-pay-25-for-all-the-bitcoin-in-the-world-he-considers-crypto-rat-poiso" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shareholder</a>&nbsp;meeting in 2018 and predicted a &#8220;bad ending&#8221; for the cryptocurrency.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $83,315.66, down 1.03% 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>. Year-to-date, the asset has slid 11.84%.
Shares of Berkshire Hathaway fell 2.09% in after-hours trading, after closing 0.89% higher at 537.72 during Wednesday&#8217;s regular session. Jefferies stock closed 2.99% higher at $55.14.
Berkshire Hathaway stock demonstrated a good momentum and value score as of this writing.

Warren Buffett Avoids Bitcoin, But Do You Know Berkshire Hathaway Owns Stake In A Company That Pitches BTC As 'Critical' Inflation Hedge

Vinod Khosla, an early investor in OpenAI and the founder of Khosla Ventures, shared his views on what startup founders should expect from investors, criticizing the &#8220;founder-friendly&#8221; culture in the Silicon Valley.
What Happened: In a conversation on the Minus One podcast posted on Wednesday, Khosla said that while the term &#8220;founder-friendly&#8221; is often used in venture capital circles, it doesn't truly benefit entrepreneurs in the long run.
"I hate the culture — there&#8217;s a number of firms in the valley who push the idea we are founder friendly," he stated in response to a question about what founders should look for in investors. "What [it] really means, they're never going to challenge you. They want to be popular with you as opposed to help you."

Khosla, who has been investing in startups for over 40 years, described his role as a &#8220;venture assistant,&#8221; not a traditional venture capitalist. He argued that successful investors don't just write checks but provide invaluable guidance, especially when a startup is incomplete in certain aspects.&nbsp;
"Great founders, the majority of the time, are incomplete in some dimension," he stated, adding, "Your job as an investor is to help them with that."
He also touched on the importance of &#8220;brutally honest&#8221; feedback, saying that 95% of the feedback founders get from investors is often &#8220;hypocritical politeness&#8221; that feels good but doesn't help their growth.&nbsp;
Founders should strive for a real, well-intended critique of their strategy, something that challenges them to think, he said.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: As the founder of Khosla Ventures, Khosla has been instrumental in backing experimental technologies such as biomedicine, robotics, and AI. Notably, he was one of the early investors in OpenAI and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36056265/openai-investor-vinod-khosla-works-80-hours-a-week-will-use-peter-thiels-anti-aging-methods-if-they">invested $50 million</a> in the parent company of ChatGPT.
Khosla is also known <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36056265/openai-investor-vinod-khosla-works-80-hours-a-week-will-use-peter-thiels-anti-aging-methods-if-they">for his involvement</a> in Sun Microsystems, which he co-founded in 1982. The company was later acquired by Oracle. Khosla's work at Kleiner Perkins, before founding his own venture fund, further cemented his reputation as a visionary investor in technology.
With a reported net worth of $7.7 billion, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/vinod-khosla/">according</a> to Forbes, Khosla has built a career based on taking calculated risks in areas that other investors often overlook. His firm, Khosla Ventures, has backed major successes like Affirm and DoorDash.

President Donald Trump has reportedly imposed reciprocal tariffs on some of the world&#8217;s most remote and uninhabited locations, along with various global trade partners, on &#8216;Liberation Day.&#8217;
What Happened: The Trump administration declared a 10% reciprocal tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands, an uninhabited Australian external territory situated approximately 1,000 miles north of Antarctica, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/04/02/trump-imposes-tariffs-on-uninhabited-heard-and-mcdonald-islands-remotest-places-on-earth/">reported</a> Forbes.  The Australian government website describes these islands as &#8220;one of the wildest and remotest places on Earth&#8221;.
These tariffs also apply to other regions, including the British Indian Ocean Territory, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, which have fewer than 600 residents, Norfolk Island, and the Norwegian Arctic islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen, which have no permanent population.
The impact of these tariffs&nbsp;on the Heard and McDonald&nbsp;Islands remains uncertain due to their minimal economic activity, which is limited to some Australian commercial fishing in their economic zone.

Why It Matters: The imposition of tariffs on such remote and uninhabited locations raises questions about the rationale behind these decisions. For instance, Norfolk Island exported goods worth $655,000 to the U.S. in 2023, the main export being leather footwear worth $413,000, <a href="https://oec.world/en/profile/country/nfk">according </a>to Observatory of Economic Complexity data. However, the administrator of Norfolk Island, George Plant, refuted these figures and told The Guardian that there are no known exports from Norfolk Island to the U.S.
Similarly, the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, which are Australia&#8217;s &#8216;external territories&#8217;, reportedly exported products worth $1.4 million to the U.S. in 2022, primarily &#8220;machinery and electrical&#8221; imports, according to World Bank data. The nature of these goods remains unclear. In the previous five years, imports from these islands ranged from $15,000 to $325,000 per year.
The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, told the publication, "Nowhere on earth is safe."<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/02/trump-new-tariffs-liberation-day"></a>
China has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44620889/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-roil-markets-as-china-slams-typical-unilateral-bullying-asian-markets-plunge">most affected</a> by Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Liberation Day&#8217; tariffs, with a 34% tax on top of the existing 20% tariffs on Chinese imports. Meanwhile,&nbsp;Canada and Mexico have been&nbsp;exempted from the baseline 10% tariff rate as the U.S. considers imposing&nbsp;a 25% tariff on the majority of imports from these countries.

In a Type B meeting last year, FDA provided guidance to Mesoblast that the company was eligible to file for accelerated approval of REVASCOR in patients with end-stage HFrEF based on the totality of data across two randomized controlled trials. FDA also guided that a single confirmatory trial in class II/III patients with ischemic HFrEF and inflammation will need to be completed after any accelerated approval is obtained.

President Donald Trump declared a national emergency to unveil his list of reciprocal tariffs on some of America&#8217;s biggest trade partners.
This act by the White House marks the biggest upheaval in global trade in decades, which Trump claims is being done to &#8216;strengthen the international economic position of the United States&#8217; and &#8216;protect American workers.&#8217; 
What Happened: On Wednesday, Trump invoked his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to declare a state of emergency and enact reciprocal tariffs to address &#8216;the large and persistent trade deficit&#8217; experienced by the United States.
A <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-national-emergency-to-increase-our-competitive-edge-protect-our-sovereignty-and-strengthen-our-national-and-economic-security/">White House &#8216;Fact Sheet&#8217;</a> accompanying the President&#8217;s announcement lays out the list of tariffs imposed on imports into the U.S. and the countries that are being subjected to them, as Trump emphasizes the golden rule of trade: &#8216;Treat us like we treat you.&#8217;
Here&#8217;s a complete rundown of what the fact sheet entails, with a spotlight on key points and what they each mean for the U.S., as well as the global economy.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Address Trade Deficit &amp; Unfair Practices</h3>
The fact sheet states that the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/us-trade-import-export-deficit-charts-490a7bce">United States suffered a $1.2 trillion trade deficit in 2024</a>, which was largely &#8216;ignored by prior leadership.&#8217; Going on to state that such persistently high deficit levels year after year are an unsustainable crisis and need to be addressed.
The <a href="https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/us-trade-deficit-by-country">countries that drive this deficit</a> include China at $270 billion, and Mexico at $160 billion, followed by Vietnam, Ireland, and Germany at $110 billion, $80 billion, and $76 billion, respectively.
It holds the pernicious economic policies and unfair trade practices of its largest partners responsible for this, highlighting the tariffs charged by countries such as India and Turkey, going as high as 60% on Apples, 70% on passenger car imports, and 80% on rice husks.
The White House says American companies are charged nearly $200 billion in value-added taxes each year by other countries, while the U.S. itself taxes little to nothing, with tariffs mostly ranging from 2.5% to 3.3%.
It further sheds light on several non-tariff barriers that leave U.S.-based companies at a disadvantage, such as Brazil and Vietnam&#8217;s restrictions on remanufactured goods.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Hollowed Out Manufacturing Base &amp; Reshoring</h3>
The fact sheet holds the country&#8217;s long-standing free-for-all trade policy responsible for the erosion of its manufacturing base. It highlights the fact that American manufacturing as a share of global output stood at 28.4% in 2001 but now stands at 17.4%.
In addition to the millions of jobs lost to this shift over the decades, the administration believes that it has left U.S. supply chains vulnerable to global shocks.
The new trade policy emphasizes the importance of reshoring manufacturing, especially in critical sectors such as defense, batteries, microelectronics, and bio-manufacturing.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Blanket Import Tariffs, Reciprocal Tariffs &amp; Exemptions</h3>
To address these challenges and more, the President used his IEEPA authority to impose a blanket 10% tariff on all goods imported into the U.S. from across the world. This is set to go into effect starting from the 5th of April 2025.
Besides this, several reciprocal tariffs are being imposed on countries with which the United States has the highest trade deficit, which is in addition to the 10% baseline. The reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect on the 9th of April 2025. For Canada and Mexico, the existing IEEPA order around fentanyl and immigration remains in effect and is unchanged.
The fact sheet outlines several products exempted from these tariffs, such as copper, pharmaceuticals, and lumber articles, alongside bullion, energy, and minerals unavailable in the United States. Steel, aluminum, auto, and auto parts are exempted, as they are part of a separate tariff order that remains in force.
Here&#8217;s the full list of reciprocal tariffs being imposed on America&#8217;s largest trading partners,

What It Means: The tariffs do have broad implications on the U.S. and global markets, and in addition to a rout in global equity markets, analysts expect it to fuel inflation, while further increasing the risks of a recession. 
America&#8217;s trading partners are expected to respond with countermeasures, which could altogether plunge the global economy into a recession.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Trade With The United States: A &#8216;Privilege&#8217;</h3>
The President unequivocally states &#8216;Access to the American market is a privilege, not a right&#8217; and that the United States will no longer &#8216;put itself last on matters of international trade.&#8217;
According to analysts, however, this move is not without its downsides, as clamping down on the U.S. market privileges of other countries could hurt America&#8217;s biggest privilege of all, &#8216;<a href="https://thespectator.com/topic/could-trump-tariffs-damage-the-us-dollar/">The Dollar Privilege</a>&#8216;. Something that allowed it to run massive deficits and wield unprecedented geopolitical power over the decades.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Global Recession Risk</h3>
Early last month, JP Morgan Research suggested that the risk of a global recession taking hold this year was at 40%, up from 30% at the start of 2025. The analysis laid the blame squarely on the ongoing tariff war and the uncertainties surrounding the same, resulting in negative sentiments.
Now with the tariffs in place, analysts at JP Morgan are all but certain that &#8220;these policies, if sustained, would likely push the U.S. and global economy into recession this year.&#8221;
They further add that this is essentially <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/tariffs-trump-news-04-02-25#cm90qyswp001x3b6nd1mkndo5">a $660 billion tax on American consumers</a>, &#8216;the largest tax increase in recent memory by a longshot.&#8217;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Countermeasures By Trading Partners</h3>
Major U.S. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44620889/trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-roil-markets-as-china-slams-typical-unilateral-bullying-asian-markets-plunge">trade partners have begun responding to the tariffs</a>, starting with a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson calling it &#8216;typical unilateral bullying&#8217; before urging the U.S. to &#8216;immediately cancel its unilateral tariff measures.&#8217;
Meanwhile, Europe joined in on condemning the tariffs, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni calling the 20% tariffs imposed on the European Union &#8216;wrong,&#8217; followed by the Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who referred to this decision as &#8216;Extremely Unsettling.&#8217;
The Indian Commerce Ministry said that it was still analyzing the impact of the 26% reciprocal tariff, with a senior official quoted as saying &#8216;a mixed bag and not a setback for India.&#8217; The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, on the other hand, vowed to &#8216;act with purpose and with force.&#8217;

Trump Unveils Massive Tariff Plan to Slash $1.2 Trillion Trade Deficit: 'Access To The American Market Is A Privilege'

New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu defended his position on Wednesday that negative publicity surrounding CEO Elon Musk won&#8217;t harm Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in the medium term.
What Happened: &#8220;Many question our view that &#8216;bad press&#8217; related to Elon will not have a lasting influence on Tesla sales,&#8221; Ferragu wrote on X. &#8220;Elon&#8217;s antics are very unlikely to damage the brand medium term (and they definitely help awareness!!).&#8221;
The analyst shared data showing significant drops in Tesla&#8217;s brand perception during 2022, including a 21-point decline in March and a 17-point drop in November, coinciding with Musk&#8217;s Twitter acquisition. Despite these metrics, Tesla&#8217;s quarterly deliveries grew steadily from 185,000 in the first quarter of 2021 to 485,000 by the fourth quarter of 2023.
Ferragu&#8217;s optimistic assessment comes amid recent challenges for the automaker. Tesla reported approximately 337,000 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2025, falling short of analyst expectations across all major markets. The disappointing results sent shares tumbling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44612478/musk-needs-to-navigate-brand-crisis-or-else-warns-analyst-tesla-delivery-number-was-a-disaster-for-the-bulls">before recovering Wednesday</a>.

Why It Matters: Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called the figures &#8220;a disaster for the bulls&#8221; while maintaining an Outperform rating with a $550 price target. &#8220;The more political he gets with DOGE, the more the brand suffers, there is no debate,&#8221; Ives said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44612478/musk-needs-to-navigate-brand-crisis-or-else-warns-analyst-tesla-delivery-number-was-a-disaster-for-the-bulls">referring to Musk&#8217;s role</a> in the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration.
Tesla stock rebounded over 5% in regular session on Wednesday following a Politico report suggesting Musk might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44617674/tesla-closes-in-green-dips-after-hours-as-musk-denies-ouster-from-trump-administration">step back from his government position in the coming weeks</a>. Musk dismissed the report as &#8220;fake news&#8221; on X, after which shares dipped 8.01% in after-hours trading.
The company&#8217;s stock has fallen as much as 33% since Trump&#8217;s January inauguration, with analysts attributing some decline to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44617674/tesla-closes-in-green-dips-after-hours-as-musk-denies-ouster-from-trump-administration">Musk&#8217;s political activities</a>, including his reported $20 million investment to defeat a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate and endorsements of far-right parties in Europe.
Price Action: Tesla closed at $282.76 on Wednesday, gaining 5.33% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock declined 8.01% to $260.12.

Tesla Brand Won't Suffer From Elon Musk's 'Antics,' Says Analyst Despite Delivery Miss, 8% Stock Drop In After-Hours Trading

Gold prices hit a new all-time high Wednesday as investors sought refuge in the safe haven following President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariffs that sent risk-on markets falling.
What happened: Spot gold rose 0.46% to $3,148.93 per ounce as of this writing, down slightly from the peak of $3,167 recorded earlier in the day. Gold futures on the Commodity Exchange were up 0.15% to $3,171.&nbsp;
With the latest uptick, the yellow metal extended its year-to-date gains to 20%.
The rise also boosted physical gold-backed cryptocurrencies. Tether Gold and PAX Gold rose 1.02% in the last 24 hours and over 20% since 2025 began.
In fact, the two cryptocurrency derivatives of gold were among the five most successful coins this year, far outperforming heavyweights like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).

Well-known cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez stated that DOGE was at a "make-or-break level."
"If $0.16 holds, a rally to $0.57 could follow. If it fails, a drop to $0.06 becomes likely," the analyst projected.
Gold bug and renowned economist Peter Schiff called gold a "true safe haven and store of value," while highlighting the fall of Bitcoin, considered by some as a "digital gold."

백사트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VXRT#NASDAQ">VXRT</a>)의 주가는 회사가 비즈니스 및 현금 런웨이(스타트업의 생존 가능 기간) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/06/g39365751/vaxart-provides-business-update">업데이트</a>를 제공한 후 월요일 시간외 거래에서 상승했다.
사건의 전말 (What Happened): 다양한 경구용 재조합 백신을 개발하는 임상 단계 생명공학 회사인 백사트는 자사의 프로젝트 넥스트젠(Project NextGen) 어워드에 따른 환급과 결합된 최근 제품의 수익금이 회사의 현금 런웨이를 2026년까지 연장할 것으로 예상된다고 월요일 발표했다.
&#8220;지난주는 백사트에게 특히 중요했다. 미국의 국립 바이오의약첨단연구개발국(BARDA)로부터 가장 큰 프로젝트 넥스트젠 상 중 하나를 받고 주요 기관 투자자로부터 4천만 달러의 자금 조달을 마감함으로써 회사가 크게 강화되었기 때문이다&#8221;라고 백사트의 CEO인 스티븐 로(Steven Lo)가 말했다.
&#8220;이러한 주목할만한 성과를 통해 우리는 수십억 달러 규모의 시장 기회를 대표하는 혁신적인 경구용 알약 백신 후보를 만들고 세상에 질병으로부터 보호할 수 있는 더 나은 방법을 제공하려는 목표를 추구할 수 있게 되었다.&#8221;
백사트는 수상 자금을 사용하여 식품의약국(FDA) 승인 mRNA 백신 비교 제품과 비교하여 자사의 경구용 코로나19 백신 후보를 평가하는 10,000명의 피험자를 대상으로 한 2b상 비교 연구를 수행할 계획이라고 말했다. 백사트는 이르면 2024년 여름부터 임상시험 등록을 시작할 수 있다고 언급했다.
백사트는 또한 2024년 중반에 FDA로부터 노로바이러스 보호의 잠재적 상관관계에 대한 피드백을 받을 예정이라고 발표했다. 이 회사는 노로바이러스 프로그램을 진행하기 위한 최선의 방법을 결정할 것이라고 말했다.
백사트는 계절성 인플루엔자 및 인유두종 바이러스를 포함한 초기 단계 프로그램을 계속 개발하고 있다고 밝혔다. 이 회사 측은 최근 발생한 조류독감에 대비해 조류독감 대응에도 나섰다고 밝혔다.

VXRT 주가 움직임: 월요일 시간외 거래에서 백사트의 주식은 5.56% 상승한 55센트에 거래되었다.
