Even though Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's relationship is a thing of the past, West&#8217;s investments in stocks for his ex-wife continue to thrive, significantly boosting her financial portfolio.
What Happened: Despite their high-profile divorce, West&#8217;s financial decisions continue to influence Kardashian&#8217;s wealth. According <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/kim-kardashian/">to</a> Forbes, her net worth currently stands at $1.7 billion.
Kanye made strategic stock investments on Kardashian's behalf before their separation, many of which have seen impressive returns.&nbsp;
In 2017, Kardashian revealed that her husband, West, gave her an extraordinary Christmas gift: stock worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in major companies like Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Adidas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>).

If an investor had mirrored West's gift to Kardashian by investing $1,000 in each of these companies, here's how that portfolio would have performed:

Kanye West Once Gifted Kim Kardashian Stocks In Apple, Netflix, Amazon And Disney — And His Financial Foresight Continues To Benefit Her Wealth

President Donald Trump&#8217;s threat to impose a sweeping 50% tariff on all European Union imports starting June 1 sparked a broad selloff across European markets Friday, triggering fears of a transatlantic trade war just as global <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">growth faces renewed pressure.</a>
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the EU&#8217;s "powerful Trade Barriers, VAT Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against American Companies" were to blame for an annual trade deficit exceeding $250 billion, which he called "totally unacceptable."
The proposed tariff would exempt goods manufactured in the United States, potentially creating sharp distortions for EU-based exporters and global supply chains.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Benchmarks Tumble</h3>
The fallout was immediate in markets. The Euro STOXX 50 index – as closely tracked by the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#NYSE">EZU</a>) – dropped 3%, Italy's FTSE MIB sank 2.9%, France's CAC 40 lost 2.6% and Spain's IBEX 35 fell 2.2%. 
Germany's DAX, as tracked by the iShares MSCI Germany Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWG#NYSE">EWG</a>), which is home to many export-heavy firms, slid 2.3%.
Financial stocks bore the brunt of the decline, with Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) falling 6.1%, Société Générale SA (OTCPK: SCGLY) down 5.3% and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBVA#NYSE">BBVA</a>) sliding 5%.
 Industrial and luxury exporters also came under heavy pressure, including Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (OTCPK: BMWYY), or BMW (−4.5%), UniCredit SpA (OTCPK: UNCRY) (−4.5%) and EssilorLuxottica SA (OTCPK: ESLOY) (−4.2%).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Export Exposure To US Trade Is Key</h3>
The tariff threat has placed a spotlight on European companies heavily reliant on U.S. revenues.
In Germany, Adidas AG (OTCPK: ADDYY) derives roughly a third of its revenue from the United States, while SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>) generates about 40% of its turnover from North America. 
Chipmaker Infineon Technologies AG (OTCPK: IFNNY) is also significantly exposed due to its automotive and electronics customers.
French luxury and tech firms are equally at risk. LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (OTCPK: LVMUY) earns close to 25% of its revenue in the U.S., while Dassault Systèmes SE (OTCPK: DASTY) has a strong footprint in North American enterprise software. Hermès International SA (OTCPK: HESAY) pulls about 20-25% of its sales from the American market.
Italian brands like Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>), with over 30% of sales from the U.S., and EssilorLuxottica SA (OTCPK: ESLOY), which owns Oakley and Ray-Ban, are also vulnerable. 
In the Netherlands, tech heavyweight ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) earns about 20-25% of revenue from the U.S., and Koninklijke Philips NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHG#NYSE">PHG</a>) maintains a major healthcare business across North America.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">EU Retaliation Risk Grows For US Stocks</h3>
For U.S. corporations with heavy exposure to Europe—particularly in tech, autos, agriculture and aviation—the economic consequences could be significant if the European Union responds in kind.
The 2018 EU countermeasures to Trump&#8217;s steel tariffs included duties on motorcycles, bourbon and orange juice—strategic hits on U.S. swing-state exports.
EU officials may also revisit tech taxation disputes, where U.S. firms like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) are already under regulatory scrutiny.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Recent Filing Shows That Rep. Bruce Westerman Sold Over $137K Worth of Apple Stock

Leading American footwear companies, Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Adidas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>), Skechers USA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>), and others have approached President Donald Trump, seeking an exemption from tariffs, citing the risk of a potential industry collapse.
What Happened: The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America trade association dispatched a letter dated April 29 to the White House, pleading for relief from Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariffs. The letter, endorsed by 76 footwear companies, expressed that the tariffs present an &#8220;existential threat&#8221; to the industry, as per a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/02/nike-adidas-footwear-giants-ask-trump-for-tariff-exemption.html">CNBC report</a> on Friday.
The letter emphasized that businesses manufacturing affordable footwear for lower and middle-income families are incapable of absorbing high tariff rates or transferring&nbsp;these costs. Without swift support, many companies could be forced to shut down.
Trump&#8217;s tariffs, announced on April 2, imposed duties on several key countries for footwear sourcing, such as China, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The tariffs are scheduled to restart in early July.
The footwear association cautioned that the tariffs would not fulfill Trump&#8217;s promise of returning manufacturing to the U.S., as they eliminate the stability businesses need for investment in sourcing changes.
"This is an emergency that requires immediate action and attention,&#8221; stated the Association. &#8220;The American footwear industry does not have months to adjust business models and supply chains while absorbing this unprecedented and unforeseen tariff regime,&#8221; it added.

Why It Matters: Earlier in April,&nbsp;Nike&#8217;s shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44741043/nike-stock-tumbles-as-us-china-trade-war-intensifies-what-you-need-to-know">plummeted&nbsp;</a>by about 25% as the escalating trade war between the United States and China threatened the company&#8217;s supply chain. Nike imports a majority of its products from China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
In April, Economist Peter Schiff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44640220/peter-schiff-says-nike-wont-build-factories-in-us-they-will-sell-to-countries-like-china-a-much-better-strategy-amid-trump-tariffs">cautioned </a>that Nike Inc. is unlikely to move its production to the U.S. despite new tariffs, forecasting increased prices and a decline in domestic sales for the footwear company.
Schiff wrote on X, "Nike won't build factories in the U.S. to make sneakers. That would add more cost than the 40% tariffs&#8230;The result will be fewer sneakers sold in the U.S. at much higher prices."
Additionally, Skechers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44996051/skechers-stock-falls-on-q1-revenue-miss-details">reported a revenue</a> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44996051/skechers-stock-falls-on-q1-revenue-miss-details">miss</a> in the first quarter, further indicating the strain on the footwear industry. The tariffs, if not lifted, could exacerbate these challenges for the industry. Even Adidas cautioned that tariffs would result in increased costs for American consumers.
Nike stock has climbed 5.36% over the past month, while that of Adidas surged 14.81% during the same period.

Adidas Q1 Operating Profit €610 Million; Q1 Sales €6.153 Billion; Company's Results For Q1 Of 2025 Do Not Include Any Yeezy Contribution; Operating Profit Improved To €610 Million

Adidas AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>) has <a href="https://www.adidas-group.com/en/media/press-releases/adidas-reports-strong-results-for-2024-and-expects-top-and-bottom-line-momentum-to-continue-in-2025">reported fourth-quarter FY24</a>, currency-neutral revenues growth of 19%.
In euro terms, the sportswear and sneaker company saw a 24% increase in revenue. It reached 5.97 billion euros ($6.38 billion) — up from 4.81 billion euro in the same quarter in 2023.
Robust performances in both footwear and apparel categories boosted sales. A final push from the sale of Yeezy inventory generated an additional €50 million in revenue.
Adidas posted a 26% increase in footwear sales, driven by demand for high-performance products like Originals, Football, and Basketball models. 
Apparel sales rose 11%, with gains across various sports and lifestyle categories, including Football and Running. 
The Lifestyle segment saw a significant uptick, particularly driven by new releases such as the Climacool 3D-printed shoe and partnerships with high-profile collaborators like Stella McCartney and Bape. 
Sales were up across all global markets, with double-digit growth recorded in North America (+15%), Greater China (+16%), and Emerging Markets (+21%).

The company's wholesale segment also performed strongly, increasing by 25%, while direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales rose by 15%. E-commerce revenues showed a 10% increase, reflecting adidas's continued investment in its digital platforms.
Adidas achieved a gross margin of 49.8% in fourth-quarter, marking a 5.2% improvement from the previous year. The margin expansion was driven by lower product and freight costs, reduced discounting, and a favorable product mix. 
The company's operating profit for the quarter stood at €57 million, a turnaround from last year's loss of €377 million.
Adidas will also approve a dividend of 2 euro per share to shareholders on May 15.
&#8220;Of course there is a lot of macroeconomic uncertainty right now, but with products that we think are on trend and the attitude of being agile and more local, I cannot see why we should not be successful,&#8221; said CEO Bjørn Gulden
Outlook 2025: Looking ahead, Adidas expects currency-neutral sales to increase at a high-single-digit rate in 2025, with strong double-digit growth anticipated in markets like North America and Greater China.
The company also forecasts an increase in operating profit to between 1.7 billion euro and 1.8 billion euro.
The company does not expect any contributions from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38511886/adidas-puts-yeezy-history-behind-rides-fashion-high-with-samba-and-gazelle-shoes">Yeezy revenues or profits</a> in 2025, following the completion of the inventory sale in 2024.

Super Bowl Commercials 2025: Complete List of Super Bowl LIX Ads And Companies Behind Them

&#8220;We also feel good about the future, and we see potential to increase our market share in all markets. There is a lot of macroeconomic uncertainty right now, but we clearly have the goal to again grow double-digit with the adidas brand and use that growth to continue to improve our operating profit and make further progress towards our 10% margin target.&#8221;

Adidas Sees Solid Gains In Q4, Looks To Expand Market Share

University of Colorado football star Travis Hunter took home the Heisman Trophy Saturday night, adding to his rare pathway to the NFL that included turning down Division I schools to play for Deion Sanders at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24631543/how-deion-sanders-and-the-nations-top-high-school-recruit-are-shaking-up-college-football">Football Championship Subdivision school Jackson State University.</a>
What Happened: With Hunter a Heisman Trophy winner and a rare two-way threat playing both cornerback and wide receiver, attention will now shift to how high he could get drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and if he can break a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38501129/2024-nfl-draft-recap-quarterbacks-wide-receivers-detroit-set-records-who-will-win-rookie-o"> recent string of preference</a> to take quarterbacks first overall.
In the 2024 NFL Draft, six quarterbacks were selected in the first round setting records for the position. Among the draft picks were quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels at first and second overall, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Here are the most recent Heisman Trophy winners and their NFL Draft positions:
<ul>
<li>2023: Jayden Daniels, Quarterback, 2nd overall</li>
<li>2022: Caleb Williams, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2021: Bryce Young, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2020: DeVonta Smith, Wide receiver: 10th overall</li>
<li>2019: Joe Burrow, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2018: Kyler Murray, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2017: Baker Mayfield, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
<li>2016: Lamar Jackson, Quarterback, 32nd overall</li>
<li>2015: Derrick Henry, Running back, 45th overall</li>
<li>2014: Marcus Mariota, Quarterback, 2nd overall</li>
<li>2013: Jameis Winston, Quarterback, 1st overall</li>
</ul>
The list shows the Heisman Trophy is often won by a quarterback with the position taking home the honors in nine of the past 11 years. In the past 11 years, six of the Heisman Trophy winners have gone first overall in a future NFL Draft.
No non-quarterback Heisman Trophy winner has gone first overall in the NFL Draft since running back Bo Jackson in 1985, according to the <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2024-04-25/every-heisman-winner-be-selected-no-1-overall-nfl-draft">NCAA</a>. Of the 25 Heisman Trophy winners who have gone first overall, all have been listed as a quarterback, running back or tight end. 
Also keep in mind that the last time a wide receiver went first overall was 1996 and the last time a defensive back went first overall was 1956, with a preference for quarterbacks, defensive ends and offensive linemen in recent years.
Hunter as a wide receiver and cornerback would set some new firsts if he goes first overall. This could be why he's the current second favorite on sportsbook DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) to go first overall at odds of +350. Listed ahead of Hunter is his teammate, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders at odds of -120.
Trailing the two Colorado teammates is Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who was also a Heisman Trophy finalist, at odds of +400. No other player has odds lower than +2500. This means these three are the high favorites of going first overall, but right now it could be anyone's game of who will go first overall and likely will depend on which team secures the first overall pick.

This Is How Much EA Sports Offers College Football Players For Their Likeness</a>
What's Next: One of the big questions for whoever drafts Hunter will be which position they want him to play in the NFL or if he will play both. During this season, Hunter <a href="https://x.com/PFF_College/status/1866945539801223417">had </a>709 offensive snaps and 713 defensive snaps, averaging 118 per game, significantly higher than anyone else in NCAA Football Division I.
Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer <a href="https://x.com/JayGlazer/status/1868731686932078974">said </a>Sunday that he polled 13 NFL coaches and GMs asking about Hunter, with 12 saying they would play the Heisman winner primarily at CB with some offensive packages. The lone person who said wide receiver said the elite ball skills made the position the one Hunter should play. The 12 who picked cornerback also acknowledged elite ball skills and said a shutdown cornerback is harder to find.
The 2025 NFL Draft will be held in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with the first round happening on April 24 with Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) airing coverage on ABC and ESPN.
Colorado takes on Brigham Young University in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in a game that will air on ABC. Hunter indicated Monday that he plans to play in the game. Some players leaving for college sit out bowl games. This would mean NFL scouts, coaches and general managers could get another look at the rare two-way star ahead of the NFL Draft.
Hunter going high in the NFL Draft and succeeding at the next level could be big for Adidas AG &#8211; ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>), which <a href="https://news.adidas.com/american-football/adidas-welcomes-collegiate-superstar-travis-hunter-to-the-three-stripes--expanding-its-next-gen-athl/s/a02057f4-e796-426e-84c7-ac2ae40dfc66">signed </a>the NCAA star to its growing roster of NFL players.

'Adidas Headquarters Raided In Years-Long Tax Investigation' - Bloomberg News

Needham analyst Tom Nikic initiated coverage on Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) with a Buy rating and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a price forecast of $27</a>.
The analyst writes that Foot Locker is positioned for an earnings recovery in 2025, with improvements expected from a strengthened Nike, Inc partnership, growth in non-Nike brands, recent SG&amp;A investments, and the recovery of merchandise margins.
Despite a current lull post-back-to-school, the analyst expects trends to pick up after Thanksgiving and is encouraged by a recent consumer survey indicating strong holiday interest in sneakers.
Nikic notes that Foot Locker faced challenges due to Nike&#8217;s decision to reduce high-demand product supply but believes Nike&#8217;s shift to increase product allocations to Foot Locker starting in the fourth-quarter of 2024 will drive positive sales growth.

Additionally, Foot Locker is benefiting from expanding Hoka and On availability, along with strengthened relationships with brands like Adidas AG, New Balance, Crocs, Inc., and UGG.
The analyst explains that Foot Locker&#8217;s EBIT margin was significantly lower last year compared to pre-COVID levels and is only expected to see modest improvement in FY24 due to aggressive long-term growth investments.
However, as spending tapers off next year, Foot Locker is expected to leverage these investments to expand margins.
Additionally, with merchandise margins still over 300bps below pre-COVID levels, there is further opportunity for gross margin improvement, Nikic adds.
The analyst projects the company to report FY24 revenues of $8.164 billion and earnings per share of $1.61.
Price Action: FL stock is up 1.67% at $22.83 at last check Friday.

Much Wow! Dogecoin Is Now Larger Than Ford, Adidas, Lululemon, Roblox: 15 Companies Worth Less Than Meme Crypto

A wave of concern is sweeping through the athletic footwear industry as Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed import tariffs threaten to significantly impact sneaker manufacturers and retailers. The potential policies could especially affect companies heavily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41795320/trumps-20-tariff-plans-could-unleash-wave-of-spending-on-big-ticket-buys-in-holiday-quarter-says-eco">dependent on Asian manufacturing hubs</a>.
What Happened: Industry leaders are bracing for impact after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41774549/trumps-big-tech-policies-what-gop-victory-means-for-apple-google-microsoft">Trump proposed a 20% blanket tariff</a> on all imports and a steep 60% levy specifically on Chinese goods. The footwear sector, which already faces substantial import duties, could see production costs surge further.
Wall Street reflected these concerns as major athletic wear stocks declined. Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) fell 3.41%, while Adidas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>) dropped 3.62%. Under Armour (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAA#NYSE">UAA</a>) saw a 1.35% decrease, and VF Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>), owner of Vans, declined 2.67%.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a huge headwind for the entire industry,&#8221; Brooks Running CEO Dan Sheridan <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/starbucks-ceo-no-plans-to-move-hq-out-of-seattle-as-the-company-attempts-a-turnaround-214425009.html">told</a> Yahoo Finance, noting that footwear companies currently navigate a 20% tariff on Chinese imports and approximately 27% on Vietnamese goods.
Benzinga contacted several impacted companies but did not receive an immediate response.

Why It Matters: The industry&#8217;s vulnerability stems from its heavy reliance on Asian manufacturing hubs, including China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Additional levies could force companies to either absorb higher costs or pass them on to consumers.
Trump&#8217;s proposed policies follow his election victory over Democrat Kamala Harris, where he secured 277 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote, according to Associated Press figures.
Some companies showed resilience amid the market uncertainty. Puma (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PMMAF#OTC">PMMAF</a>) gained 2.10%, while Deckers Outdoor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>), the parent company of Hoka One One, edged up 0.67%.
