In total, that's more than 50 different stocks bought and disclosed by Greene in the latest filing. Based on the purchase range of $1,001 to $15,000, this would make the transaction range over $50,000 and up to more than $800,000.

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

RBC Capital Reiterates Outperform on Walmart, Maintains $102 Price Target

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman believes inflation has largely been &#8220;wrung out of the economy&#8221; and predicts global economic conflicts could resolve within six to nine months, while advocating for a temporary pause on China tariffs to protect U.S. businesses.
What Happened: The Pershing Square Capital Management CEO <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/05/cnbc-excerpts-pershing-square-ceo-bill-ackman-speaks-with-cnbcs-andrew-ross-sorkin-on-squawk-box-today.html">told</a> CNBC that declining energy and food prices signal positive economic trends. &#8220;The price of energy is coming down and it&#8217;s going to stay down. And I think, you know, obviously very, very good for the economy,&#8221; Ackman said.
Recent economic data presents a mixed picture. U.S. Gross Domestic Product <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45098824/tariffs-hit-hard-as-us-economy-shrinks-for-first-time-since-2022">unexpectedly contracted 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025</a>—the first decline since mid-2022—while April&#8217;s nonfarm payrolls increased by 177,000, surpassing the forecasted 130,000 despite tariff pressures.
Ackman suggested the Federal Reserve could implement &#8220;a few rate cuts&#8221; later this year, with a small reduction coming &#8220;relatively soon&#8221; as businesses pause investments amid tariff uncertainties. &#8220;First quarter is benefited by some frontloading of purchases and inventive tariffs,&#8221; he noted, explaining that many businesses are waiting to see what happens next.

Why It Matters: On China&#8217;s trade policy, Ackman recommended a strategic pause. &#8220;The right thing to do, in my view, is we pause on China. Let&#8217;s give it a little more time. Maybe it&#8217;s 180 days,&#8221; he said, arguing this would stabilize risks to the U.S. economy while incentivizing China to negotiate better terms as companies shift supply chains elsewhere.
His position contrasts with Warren Buffett&#8216;s sharper criticism of using tariffs as economic weapons. The Berkshire Hathaway Chairman recently warned that punitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45184120/warren-buffett-warns-tariffs-could-backfire-on-economy-says-trade-should-not-be-a-weapon-its-a-big-mistake-i-dont-think-its-wise">tariffs risk provoking international tensions</a>, calling them &#8220;a big mistake&#8221; without directly mentioning President Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer remains optimistic about avoiding recession, citing strong employment trends. &#8220;It&#8217;s difficult to derail an economy that is still creating jobs,&#8221; Cramer said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45058829/jim-cramer-dismisses-recession-panic-says-tariffs-may-sting-but-too-many-jobs-for-economy-to-derail">suggesting consumers might adapt to tariff-induced price</a> increases by turning to budget retailers like Costco Wholesale Corp. and Walmart Inc.

Bill Ackman Says Inflation Has 'Largely Been Wrung Out,' Pushes For Temporary Pause On China Tariffs To Shield US Businesses

As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45026616/trumps-trade-war-causes-sharp-decline-in-us-imports-from-china">U.S. ports</a> begin to empty and retailers brace for impact, experts warn that we are just beginning to feel the ripple effects of President Donald Trump's new 145% tariffs on Chinese goods. While social media buzz paints an exaggerated picture of ghost ports, the underlying supply chain disruption is very real — and it could soon hit home for American consumers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Slow Ships, Sudden Shock</h2>
Tariffs don't grind global trade to a halt overnight. Freight ships from China typically take several weeks to reach U.S. ports. But already, the effects of paused or canceled shipments are being seen, particularly at major hubs like the Port of Los Angeles.

</ul>
Gene Seroka, executive director of the port, told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/04/29/port-of-las-gene-seroka-on-tariff-impact-retailers-have-about-5-7-weeks-of-full-inventories-left.html">CNBC</a> that shipments from China have "essentially ceased," and the port expects a 35% decline in cargo arriving next week.
Seroka added that large retailers have just five to seven weeks of inventory left before supply issues start to surface. &#8220;Until some accord or framework can be reached with China, the volume coming out of there, save a couple of different commodities, will be very light at best,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Chain Reaction Through the Economy</h2>
According to <a href="https://fortune.com/article/trump-tariffs-empty-shelves-trucking-ports/">Fortune</a>, the slowdown will unfold in stages. In early May, consumers may begin noticing delays and product shortages. By mid-May, the trucking industry could feel the crunch as fewer goods arrive to be transported — resulting in layoffs. <a href="https://www.apolloacademy.com/probability-of-vtrr-90/">Apollo Global Management</a> forecasts that this could spiral into a full-blown recession by mid-summer.
Products expected to be hit hardest include fast fashion, children's toys, and back-to-school supplies. That's because the U.S. imports much of its apparel and low-cost consumer goods from China, and retail shelves are replenished months in advance.
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">Fact vs. Fiction at the Ports</h2>
Despite widely shared videos showing empty container yards, not all U.S. ports are equally impacted. The <a href="https://www.nwseaportalliance.com/newsroom/nwsa-q1-2025-teu-volumes-19">Northwest Seaport Alliance</a> reports that the Port of Seattle saw a 20% increase in cargo traffic over the first four months of 2025, compared with the same time last year.
Port Commissioner Ryan Calkins acknowledged the threat of tariffs but urged calm. "There is no reason to panic," he said. "We have a diverse global economy." Still, he cautioned that if the tariffs continue, holiday shopping later in the year could be affected, especially for items like clothing and electronics.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Retailers and Officials Scramble</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45037102/walmart-home-depot-target-push-chinese-suppliers-to-resume-shipments-agree-to-absorb-tariffs-report">Major retailers</a> like Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) have already tried to front-load shipments ahead of the tariff hike. According to Fortune, this led to record import activity at some ports earlier in the year. But experts warn that these stockpiles are only a temporary buffer. Jonathan Gold, vice president for supply chain and customs policy at the National Retail Federation, <a href="https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/import-cargo-levels-to-drop-sharply-amid-new-tariffs-and-uncertainty">said</a> that companies "will pull back and rely on built-up inventories, at least long enough to see what will happen next."

Unfortunately, what's next remains unclear. The U.S. and China have offered conflicting reports about the status of trade negotiations. In the meantime, supply chain gaps are growing, cancellations of transpacific shipping routes are increasing, and uncertainty looms large.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>

Amazon stock is showing a mixed technical setup, leaning bearish in the near term but with signs of emerging strength. The stock, at $191.85, is trading below its five-day, 20-day, and 50-day exponential moving averages, signaling a strong bearish trend. However, the fact that Amazon stock is experiencing buying pressure despite this downtrend could be an early indication of a potential shift toward bullish momentum.
Looking at simple moving averages, the stock is trading above its eight-day and 20-day levels &#8211; $185.08 and $180.46, respectively &#8211; which can be interpreted as bullish signals. Still, Amazon stock remains below its longer-term 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages of $193.33 and $199.06, reinforcing a broader bearish trend.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) stands at a negative 1.80, which supports a bearish outlook, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 54.34 places the stock in neutral territory &#8211; not yet oversold, but not signaling strong momentum either. 
Investors may want to watch for confirmation of a trend reversal before turning bullish, as the current setup suggests potential but not conviction.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analysts See 25% Upside, Link Says &#8216;It's All About The 2Q Guide&#8217;</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> for Amazon stock is currently a Buy, with a price target of $251.41. Latest analyst ratings from UBS, Oppenheimer and Stifel for Amazon stock suggest an average price target of $240.33 &#8211; implying a 25.77% upside from current levels.
Hightower Advisors' Chief Investment Strategist Stephanie Link says investors should focus less on the first-quarter print and more on what comes next. "Amazon will be fine on 1Q &#8211; it's all about the 2Q operating profit guide, which is expected to be $17 billion," she said in comments shared with Benzinga via email.
Link remains confident in Amazon's momentum, citing 400 basis points of retail market share gains last quarter and strong expectations for AI growth. "Their CEO was quoted&#8230; as expecting triple-digit growth in AI year over year and that ‘AI is moving faster than tech has ever seen,'" she noted.
Valuation-wise, Link pointed out Amazon's current earnings multiple of 23x, versus Microsoft Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) 25x and Walmart Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) 32x, calling the spread "off kilter."
AMZN Stock Price Action: Amazon stock closed the trading day Wednesday at $184.42, down 1.58%.

Amazon Q1 Earnings On Deck: 'Off Kilter' Valuation Vs. Bearish Technicals

Following President Donald Trump&#8216;s dismissal of two federal labor board members, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is closely monitoring the situation, given its possible impact on his job security.
What Happened: The U.S. Supreme Court is set to rule on President Trump's attempt to fire two federal labor board members—Cathy Harris and Gwynne Wilcox—despite legal protections for their roles and it could set a precedent for the President&#8217;s authority over independent federal agencies, reported Reuters. 
Both Harris and Wilcox, appointed by former President Joe Biden, had years remaining in their terms when they were dismissed.
The case challenges whether congressional safeguards limiting presidential firings infringe on constitutional executive powers.
The removal of Harris and Wilcox, part of a broader government overhaul, has sparked legal challenges. Two federal judges blocked the dismissals, citing a 1935 Supreme Court precedent. The upcoming Supreme Court decision could clarify whether Trump has the authority to fire Federal Reserve officials.
Legal experts opine that if the Supreme Court strikes down removal protections for the two labor boards, it might carve out an exception to maintain the Federal Reserve&#8217;s independence. A ruling could be issued at any time.

Why It Matters: This situation comes amid a tense relationship between Trump and Powell. Trump, during his 100-day rally in Michigan, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45093252/trump-says-he-knows-much-more-than-fed-chair-jerome-powell-about-interest-rates">renewed attacks</a> on Powell and claimed to have superior knowledge about interest rates than the Fed Chair.
Previously,&nbsp;Trump backed off from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44977395/trump-backs-off-firing-powell-after-walmart-target-ceos-warn-him-of-empty-store-shelves">firing Powell</a> after warnings from the CEOs of Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) about potential financial chaos.
 Meanwhile, Economist Peter Schiff predicted that Trump would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45027556/after-powell-trumps-fed-nominee-will-be-a-loyal-soldier-says-peter-schiff-willing-to-sacrifice-the-dollar-create-inflation-as-needed">likely nominate</a> a highly dovish replacement for Powell, one willing to &#8220;sacrifice the dollar and create as much inflation as needed&#8221; to keep interest rates low.

Supreme Court's Upcoming Ruling On Trump's Dismissals To Decide Fate Of Fed Chair Powell's Job: Report

Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ecommerce" rel="noreferrer noopener">canvassed its suppliers</a> to offer low, double-digit discounts on homeware to consumer electronics as U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs kicked in.
The Trump administration imposed tariffs of up to 145% on China, prompting Amazon to deal more aggressively with suppliers sourcing from China, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/0363e639-07de-4b6b-84f8-82733bc3afc7" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> Tuesday, citing vendor consultants. The tariffs also affected vendors from other countries.
Benzinga has reached out to Amazon for comments and will update the story.

Amazon took a cue from rivals like Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) move as they attempted to protect their margins, which they did in response to Trump&#8217;s first term in office.
Goldman Sachs analysts told the Financial Times that it expects the tariffs to affect 6%-12% of Amazon&#8217;s operating margins in 2025.
Several logistics providers and analysts told the Financial Times that Amazon had brought forward shipments and had pivoted to purchasing goods from suppliers with U.S. stock as Trump took charge in January.
Amazon had taken a less aggressive stance elsewhere, offering to bear up to a third of tariffs on non-China imports, which were at 10% during a 90-day pause period, the Financial Times cited consultants.
Analysts will closely follow Amazon Prime Day, which occurs twice a year in July and October. The summer edition generated $14.2 billion in 2024, the Financial Times cited Adobe Analytics. However, this year&#8217;s event will likely feature less steep discounts.
The White House criticized Amazon for reportedly <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45067585/amazon-stock-tumbles-as-white-house-calls-tariff-visibility-plans-a-hostile-act" rel="noreferrer noopener">planning to display</a> the cost of tariffs next to the total price of products on its site, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/white-house-blasts-amazon-over-tariff-cost-report-hostile-and-political-act.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> Tuesday. Close to 70% of products sold by Amazon are made in China.&nbsp;
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt drew parallels with the Biden administration hiking inflation to &#8220;record levels in 40 years&#8221;.
Amazon denied the report, citing its plans to reveal the tariff cost it added to its products.
Separately, Jeff Stein of the Washington Post <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1917220665821634689" rel="noreferrer noopener">tweeted</a> that Amazon Haul has considered listing import price duties on certain products, something it had never considered for the main website.
Price Action:&nbsp;Amazon stock closed lower by 0.17% to $187.39 on Tuesday.

About 2.7 billion votes were cast to reject the proposal to dismantle the DEI program, compared to 5.67 million votes in favor.
The vote occurred against the backdrop of President Donald Trump's broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43214683/target-ends-dei-program-following-trumps-call-to-eliminate-illegal-preferences-expert-calls-it-brand-suicide-for-retail-giant-with-diverse-customer-base" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">effort to roll back DEI policies </a>in both government and the private sector following a January executive order.

Levi Strauss Shareholders Stand By DEI Policy Amid Political Pushback

Jim Cramer believes excessive pessimism may be clouding Wall Street&#8217;s outlook, arguing that strong employment trends could prevent an economic downturn despite tariff concerns.
What Happened: &#8220;Will the tariffs hurt? Yes. Will prices go higher? Yes. Could there be shortages? Absolutely,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/continued-job-growth-could-help-ward-off-a-recession-jim-cramer-says.html?ref=biztoc.com">said</a> Monday. &#8220;But recessions revolve around employment, and there are still so many more jobs than we have people to fill them.&#8221;
Recession fears have grown amid President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping tariff hikes, especially those targeting China. However, Cramer maintains that companies are reluctant to lay off workers they might struggle to rehire when conditions improve.
&#8220;It&#8217;s difficult to derail an economy that is still creating jobs,&#8221; Cramer noted, predicting Friday&#8217;s labor report will be &#8220;fairly robust,&#8221; making it challenging to &#8220;slip into a full-blown recession any time soon.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Recent data support this optimism. March <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">nonfarm payrolls surged by 228,000</a>, exceeding the three-month average of 195,000 and economists&#8217; forecasts of 135,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
While many <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45033463/as-china-downplays-trump-tariffs-with-5-growth-target-top-economist-warns-of-90-chance-of-a-us-recession-amid-trade-war">economists paint a bleaker picture</a>—including Apollo Global Management&#8216;s Chief Economist Torsten Slok, who predicted a &#8220;90% chance&#8221; of recession if current tariff levels persist—not all share this view. The CEO of Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) recently stated there were &#8220;no signs of a recession at this point.&#8221;
Cramer suggested that while some businesses may suffer from tariff-induced price increases, consumers could adapt by turning to budget-friendly retailers like Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
&#8220;These two retailers have more market power than any two companies I&#8217;ve ever seen,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They can negotiate lower prices with their suppliers to offset the tariffs, including the Chinese.&#8221;

Jim Cramer Dismisses Recession Panic: Says Tariffs May Sting, But Too 'Many Jobs' For Economy To 'Derail'

Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) marquee shopping event could see fewer deals and less inventory as third-party sellers retreat amid rising import costs.
What Happened: Some Amazon sellers are pulling out of Prime Day 2025 or scaling back discounts in response to steep tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on goods imported from China, Reuters reported on Monday, citing four merchants and six consultants advising hundreds of sellers.
The tariffs, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831422/donald-trumps-145-tariffs-on-china-could-disrupt-teslas-cybercab-semi-production-report">jumped to 145% earlier this month</a>, have significantly increased costs for merchants who rely on Chinese manufacturing.
For sellers like Steve Green, who imports bicycles and skateboards, the added expenses have made Prime Day participation financially unviable. He instead plans to sell his inventory later at full price.
Kim Vaccarella, CEO of Bogg Bag, a China-made tote bag company, has decided to skip Prime Day while exploring manufacturing options in Cambodia and Vietnam, the report noted.

Why It's Important: Prime Day is one of Amazon's biggest sales events, generating $14.2 billion in U.S. spending last year, the report added, citing Adobe Analytics.
While Amazon told the publication that it has seen strong interest from sellers for this year's event, consultants say many sellers are making tough decisions amid uncertainty.
Amazon has not yet announced the exact date for Prime Day, which is expected to span four days in July.
Previously, it was reported that third-party sellers on Amazon and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44942555/amazon-and-walmart-third-party-sellers-reportedly-stash-products-in-canada-to-dodge-trump-tariffs-is-the-trade-war-gamble-worth-it">reportedly moving inventory</a> to Canada, hoping the trade tensions will ease in the near future.
Price Action: Amazon (AMZN) shares fell 0.68% on Monday, closing at $187.80. The stock is down 14.77% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Despite the decline, Amazon holds a strong growth score of 94.17% in the Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to</a> Walmart and other top e-commerce competitors.

Trump's 145% China Tariffs Spark Seller Backlash As Amazon Prime Day 2025 Faces Pullouts And Discount Cuts: Report

Walmart's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) short percent of float has risen 26.74% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 46.59 million shares sold short, which is 1.09% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.51 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.

<h3>Walmart Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745852424_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Walmart 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 Walmart'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>, Walmart's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.66%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Plug expects to report revenue of approximately $130 million to $134 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to the analyst consensus of $131.61 million. Plug expects second-quarter revenue of $140 million to $180 million, versus the analyst consensus of $160.20 million.
Plug expects first-quarter net cash usage of approximately $142 million compared to $268 million a year ago. The company ended March 31, 2025, with approximately $296 million in unrestricted cash.
Plug completed construction of its new 15 TPD hydrogen production plant in St. Gabriel, Louisiana. Operated through the Hidrogenii joint venture with Olin Corporation, this facility strengthens Plug&#8217;s vertically integrated hydrogen network and will serve anchor customers, including Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
Plug has taken decisive actions to reduce its operational cost base, implementing changes in the first quarter that will likely drive over $200 million in incremental annualized run-rate savings. These cost-cutting measures, which have been largely completed, include organizational realignment and a company-wide focus on manufacturing and supply chain efficiency. The full impact of these cost savings will begin to be reflected in the coming quarters.
Plug Power stock has plunged over 65% year-to-date <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLUG/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">after analysts cut</a> their price targets for the stock, as it failed to meet its quarterly revenue and EPS consensus.
Price Action: PLUG stock is up 12.0% at $0.9056 premarket at last check Monday.

Plug Power Rallies As New Financing, Cost Cuts Boost Confidence In Turnaround Plan

Analyst Ray Wang posted that major U.S. retailers, including Walmart and Target, have reportedly asked&nbsp;Chinese suppliers to resume shipments, with tariffs to be absorbed by the American retailers.
What Happened: On Saturday, Wang posted on X that several Chinese exporters at the ongoing China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) revealed that U.S. retail companies, including Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), and Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>), have instructed Chinese suppliers to restart shipments that had been halted due to the recent tariff war. 
However, the cost of the tariffs would be borne by the retailers. The decision by these U.S. retailers came after a meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House, as per the report in Hong Kong&#8217;s Ming Pao.

Exporters mentioned by the Ming Pao report that some orders are resuming, while others have been canceled. Due to high tariffs, US retailers like Walmart must either cancel orders for Chinese products or pass the tariff costs onto American consumers, reported Global Times.

The meeting focused on the potential impact of Trump&#8217;s extensive tariff plans on the import-centric business models of these retail giants.
Furthermore, the ongoing U.S.-China trade war has been causing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45008049/shoes-toys-apparel-and-earbuds-may-disappear-from-shelves-first-as-us-china-trade-war-disrupts-supply-chains-retail-experts-warn">potential shortages</a> in key consumer product areas, pushing the national supply chain towards a critical point. The sudden implementation of tariffs left companies with little time to adjust their sourcing strategies.
With the resumption of shipments from Chinese suppliers, these retailers seem to be taking measures to mitigate the impact of the tariff battle on their operations and on American consumers.
Over the past month, Walmart surged 11.7%, while Target declined 6.8%. Meanwhile, Home Depot edged 0.16% lower during the period, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Walmart, Home Depot, Target Push Chinese Suppliers To Resume Shipments, Agree To Absorb Tariffs: Report

The ongoing dispute in Louisiana over who should bear the cost of new power plants required for&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) $10 billion data center is heating up.
What Happened: The Louisiana Public Service Commission received new testimony on April 11 from consumer advocates and climate groups. They urged the state regulator to reject a proposal by Meta&#8217;s electricity provider, Entergy Louisiana, to pass on $5 billion in construction costs for the plants to its entire customer base, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-data-center-louisiana-5b-ratepayers-2025-4">reported</a> Business Insider on Saturday.
Entergy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) has put forward a proposal to construct three new natural gas power plants to support Meta&#8217;s data centers. The utility contends that the data center could have a significant impact on the state, potentially creating 300 to 500 jobs with an average salary of $82,000.
However, advocates and climate groups argued that Entergy&#8217;s 1.1 million electric customers should not bear the cost of Meta&#8217;s power usage. Cathy Kunkel, an energy consultant, also cautioned that the utility&#8217;s plan could &#8220;put other ratepayers at risk of having to absorb hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, of additional costs&#8221; tied to Meta&#8217;s data center.
Even Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) in Louisiana has raised concerns, seeking a guarantee that Meta&#8217;s increasing power demand will not affect it or other Entergy customers in the state.

Why It Matters: &nbsp;The controversy surrounding the funding of Meta&#8217;s data center highlights the broader issue of who should bear the cost of tech companies&#8217; increasing power consumption. As these companies continue to expand their data centers, the demand for electricity is likely to rise, potentially leading to higher costs for consumers.&nbsp;
These concerns stem from the fact that Meta&#8217;s power requirements have grown since the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42337936/meta-unveils-10-billion-ai-data-center-in-louisiana-a-game-changer-for-tech-and-jobs">first revealed </a>its intention to construct an AI data center in Louisiana, which has contributed to higher service costs for Entergy. The precise amount of additional electricity Meta is requesting remains unclear, as the relevant details have been redacted from the filings.
This situation is further complicated by the reports of recent pullout of Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) from data center leases, raising questions about the sustainability of the AI development boom.&nbsp;However, Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Amazon have recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001873/amazon-and-nvidia-dismiss-fears-of-ai-data-center-pullback-we-continue-to-see-very-strong-demand">denied reports</a> of slowdown in AI data center construction. 
The momentum rating of META is 75.93% while its growth rating is 75%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest On Walmart</h2>
On Feb. 20, the company announced its Q4 2025 earnings, posting revenues of $180.55 billion, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $180.01 billion, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43846469/walmart-q4-earnings-shine-but-soft-fy26-outlook-disappoints-street">Benzinga</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Walmart Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Walmart dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $121,212, which is around 1,278 shares at $94.85 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (0.99% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0099 = $121,212 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Walmart stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 1,278 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Walmart has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 52 years.&nbsp;
