J.P. Morgan analyst John Ivankoe cut the price forecast for Bloomin&#8217; Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) from $13.00 to $10.00 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/blmn/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while retaining a Neutral rating</a>.
The analyst says that the transition of the previously owned Brazil business to a royalty-based, capital-light model, combined with reduced capital expenditure for new units and strong liquidity, positions the brand and company for long-term success. Meanwhile, the analyst says that near-term challenges remain.
Ivankoe says the company has relied too heavily on strategies such as menu price hikes, extended dayparts like 7-day lunch, third-party delivery, and annual cost-efficiency goals.
With a new management team focused on addressing price value, simplifying operations, and leveraging a strong balance sheet to support a multi-year capital improvement plan, there is still time to revitalize these brands and businesses and prevent them from fading into obscurity, adds the analyst.
The analyst assumes a significant shift in capital expenditure towards remodels, as around 50% of the units are reported to require substantial updates.
Ivanhoe expects 150 restaurants of 970 company-owned units in the U.S. to be remodeled each year at an estimated cost of $1 million with $40 million expended for routine repair and maintenance.
In the two years in FY25/FY26, the analyst expects more than $150 million of cash to be generated, or ~21% of the equity value or ~9% of enterprise value.
The analyst estimates U.S. store margins of 12.9% in FY25 and 13.0% in FY26 vs. 13.3% in FY24 and 15.3% in FY23.
Last month, the company reported a fourth-quarter&nbsp;FY24 sales decline of 9.3% year-on-year&nbsp;to $972 million, missing the consensus estimate of $1.08 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.38, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43973714/bloomin-brands-reports-93-q4-sales-decline-not-representative-of-our-potential-says-ceo" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus&nbsp;estimate of $0.36</a>.
Price Action: BLMN shares are up 5.35% at $9.26 at the last check Monday.

Oracle stock, at $147.51, is currently in a strongly bearish trend. The stock is trading below its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages. 
While this signals continued downside momentum, the presence of buying pressure suggests a potential setup for future bullish movement if support levels hold. For investors, this indicates that while the stock is facing short-term technical weakness, a rebound could materialize if Oracle finds a firm bottom. 
Traders may look for confirmation of a trend reversal before considering a bullish stance.
Technical indicators remain cautious. The stock is trading below its eight-day, 20-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages, reinforcing a bearish outlook. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator sits at a negative 4.83, further highlighting negative momentum. 
However, with Oracle stock&#8217;s Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 34.83 — nearing oversold territory — a potential bounce could be on the horizon if buyers step in at key support levels.
For investors, this suggests that while the stock remains under pressure, oversold conditions could present an opportunity for long-term accumulation. 
Meanwhile, traders may wait for a decisive move above key moving averages before turning bullish.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Oracle Analysts See 44% Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX/analyst-ratings"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on Oracle stock stands at a Buy currently with a price target of $184.08. The latest analyst ratings from Guggenheim, JMP Securities and Cantor Fitzgerald suggest a 43.99% upside for ORCL stock, with a $213 average price target.
Price Action: Oracle stock was trading at $148 at the time of publication.

Spotlight on DraftKings: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

When investors track market performance, they often focus on rising stock prices. But something else has been powering most stock market gains for decades—and it&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43581321/68-year-old-earning-4-300month-in-dividends-shares-his-top-7-stock-picks-dividends-have-been-consist">not what many younger investors might expect</a>.
Reinvested dividends have accounted for 85% of the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) total return since 1960, according to <a href="https://www.hartfordfunds.com/dam/en/docs/pub/whitepapers/WP106.pdf">an analysis by Hartford Funds</a>.
According to a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/how-to-add-dividend-funds-to-your-investment-portfolio.html">CNBC Make It</a> analysis of FactSet and NYU Stern School of Business data, a $10,000 investment in the S&amp;P 500 in 1960 would have grown to roughly $982,000 by 2024 based solely on price appreciation. However, with reinvested dividends, that same $10,000 would have ballooned to $6.42 million—more than six times as much.

&#8220;There&#8217;s some comfort you can get by homing in on those dividend-paying companies,&#8221; Brian Bollinger, founder of Simply Safe Dividends, said to CNBC. For younger investors, he suggests creating &#8220;a really long-term focused dividend growth portfolio that&#8217;s optimized more for long-term capital appreciation.&#8221;
Most investors who own broad market index funds already benefit from dividends. The S&amp;P 500 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SPY">currently offers a yield of 1.26%</a>, meaning for every $1,000 invested, shareholders receive roughly $13 annually that can be reinvested.

For those looking to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43903837/early-retiree-earning-20-000-a-month-in-dividends-shares-his-top-9-stocks-simply-taking-a-chance-on">increase their dividend exposure</a>, CNBC identified two main types of funds—dividend growth funds target companies with consistent histories of increasing payouts. These types of funds typically include &#8220;high-quality&#8221; stocks with stable balance sheets, CNBC noted.&nbsp;
Some track indices like the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats, which only includes companies that have raised dividends for at least 25 consecutive years.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not guaranteed,&#8221; Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at TMX VettaFi, told CNBC regarding future dividend increases. &#8220;But they&#8217;re more likely to do so because it&#8217;s part of their ethos.&#8221;

Equity income funds prioritize stocks with high current yields. These funds often yield more than the broader market—funds tracking the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index yield about 2.6%, double the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s rate, CNBC said. They tend to concentrate in slower-growing defensive sectors like consumer staples, utilities and financials.
When choosing between approaches, Rosenbluth advises investors to consider their primary goal. &#8220;Investors need to decide whether they want dividend income to add to capital appreciation for total return, or are they looking for dividends to be more of an income generator where capital appreciation is less meaningful?&#8221;

American consumers received a temporary reprieve Thursday when President Donald Trump signed executive actions delaying tariffs on products from Mexico and Canada covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44149833/trump-delays-ford-gm-stellantis-from-from-tariffs-on-mexico-canada-for-one-month">until April 2</a>. 
&#8220;After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement,&#8221; <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114116432894994278">Trump wrote on Truth Social</a>. The president cited border security cooperation and fentanyl interdiction efforts as reasons for the delay.

</ul>
The postponement affects goods that would have faced a 25% tariff, sparing numerous everyday products from immediate price increases. 
Automobiles were among the most significant items affected by the delay. <a href="https://www.cato.org/blog/seven-charts-show-how-us-tariffs-would-harm-american-auto-industry">According to the Cato Institute</a>, new cars and trucks, which rely heavily on parts manufactured in Canada and Mexico, would likely have seen immediate price increases under the tariffs.
According to <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/us-products-more-expensive-after-trump-tariffs-2039096">Newsweek</a>, popular Mexican beers like Modelo and Corona also avoid immediate price hikes, as do avocados—90% of which come from Mexico. Building materials receive temporary relief as well, with about one-third of softwood lumber used in U.S. home construction coming from Canada.

However, not all products are covered by the pause. A <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/economy/tariffs-delay-mexico-canada/index.html">White House official told CNN</a> that about 50% of imports from Mexico and 36% from Canada fall under the USMCA agreement. Energy imports from Canada, including crude oil that accounts for 61% of U.S. oil imports, remain subject to a 10% tariff, likely affecting gas prices, particularly in the Northeast. 
The sudden policy shift represents a walkback of Trump&#8217;s trade agenda that had rattled markets. The S&amp;P 500 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44118620/whats-driving-markets-tuesday">had plunged 1.7% on Tuesday</a>—its steepest one-day drop this year—when Trump insisted the tariffs would proceed. 
The reprieve comes with caveats. The White House has made clear the delay is temporary, with tariffs potentially taking effect on April 2 unless further agreements are reached.&nbsp;

Ontario Premier Doug Ford confirmed to CNN that his province still plans to implement a 25% tariff on electricity exports to 1.5 million American homes in Minnesota, Michigan and New York next week.
 While consumers have a one-month reprieve from potential price increases on many everyday items, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/economy/tariffs-delay-mexico-canada/index.html">CNN noted</a> that businesses warn the uncertainty itself could create economic drag as companies hesitate to make investments amid unpredictable trade policy.

From Cars To Avocados—What's Spared In Trump's Tariff Pause

테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)의 경쟁사인 중국 전기차 제조사 샤오펑(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPNGF#OTC">XPNGF</a>)의 자외사인 샤오펑 에어로트(Xpeng Aeroht)는 2026년까지 세계 최초의 <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/03/44111960/xpeng-options-trading-a-deep-dive-into-market-sentiment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">비행자동차(flying car) 대량생산업체</a>가 되려는 계획이다.
무슨 일 있었나: 6륜 밴에서 펼쳐지는 승객용 드론이 장착된 모듈형 차량인 샤오펑 에어로트의 &#8216;육상 항공 모함'(land aircraft carrier)이 11월 주하이 에어쇼에서 첫 공개 비행을 완료했으며, 약 3,000대의 주문을 확보한 것으로 알려졌다고 스트레이츠타임스(The Straits Times)가 <a href="https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/mass-production-of-flying-cars-in-sight-amid-chinas-low-altitude-economy-push" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도했다.</a>
샤오펑의 회장 겸 CEO인 허샤오펑은 금요일(7일)에 "2026년에 처음으로 모듈형 비행 자동차를 대량 생산할 계획"이라고 말했다. 회사는 2026년 1분기에 완공되면 연간 1만 대의 비행 자동차를 생산할 수 있도록 설계된 공장을 10월에 착공했다.
가격은 200만 위안(27만 5천 달러) 이하로 책정될 예정이며, 차량 부분에는 4명의 승객이 탑승할 수 있고 탈착식 드론에는 2명이 탑승할 수 있다. 초기에는 일상적인 교통수단보다는 관광 및 단거리 구조 임무에 집중적으로 활용될 것으로 보인다.
왜 중요한가: 중국 정부는 2024년 연례 업무 보고서에서 "저고도 경제"(1,000 미터 이하의 경제 활동)를 "새로운 성장 동력"으로 분류하여 우선 순위를 정했다. 2025년까지 1조 위안(1,380억 달러)에 달할 것으로 예상되는 이 분야에는 드론 배송, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41551820/flying-taxis-are-almost-here-joby-archer-aviation-applaud-new-faa-regulations-for-evtol-aircraft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">에어 셔틀, 플라잉 택시</a> 등이 포함된다.
하지만 규제 장애물은 여전히 주요 과제로 남아 있다. 허샤오펑은 차량 인증, 이륙 규정, 조종사 면허 요건 등에 대한 우려를 언급했다. 그는 "지금 당장은 많은 문제가 보인다&#8221;고 인정했다.
금요일 거래에서 뉴욕증권거래소(NYSE)의 샤오펑 ADR 주가는 6.16% 상승한 23.60달러를 기록했지만 애널리스트들은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XPEV/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">평균 목표주가</a>를 17.44달러로 유지했으며, 이는 3월 18일로 예정된 4분기 실적 발표를 앞두고 37.04% 하락할 가능성을 시사한다.
