Shares of Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) have climbed 4.9% to $181.90 since Monday's open, tracking broad tech sector gains following a U.S.-China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">trade breakthrough</a>.
What To Know: The two nations agreed to slash tariffs on each other's goods — U.S. rates falling from 145% to 30%, and China's from 125% to 10% — in a 90-day de-escalation window starting May 14. The move, driven by high-level talks in Geneva, has eased fears of further supply chain disruption and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">boosted market sentiment</a>.
The truce offers critical relief for enterprise software firms like Snowflake, which are sensitive to macroeconomic conditions and global trade flows. Investors responded positively as the rollback dampens recession concerns and may support business investment and IT spending.
Adding to the tailwinds, April's U.S. Consumer Price Index came in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45374267/inflation-eases-in-april-as-trumps-tariffs-dont-push-prices-higher">cooler than expected</a>, with headline inflation at 2.3% year-over-year, slightly below forecasts. Core inflation held steady at 2.8%. While this won't likely prompt imminent Fed rate cuts, the miss reassured markets that inflation isn't re-accelerating.
Together, improved geopolitical stability and softer inflation data have brightened the outlook for high-growth tech stocks, positioning Snowflake as a standout beneficiary early in the week.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SNOW Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Snowflake&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SNOW has a 52-week high of $194.40 and a 52-week low of $107.13.

Elon Musk and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could have company soon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/04/45014243/bezos-vs-tesla-vs-rivian-stock-company-backed-by-amazon-founder-can-turn-20k-ev-truck-into-suv">with the launch </a>of the Slate electric pickup truck, a new electric vehicle from a company backed by Amazon.com founder and Musk rival Jeff Bezos.
If early demand is any indication, the Slate EV pickup truck could be a hit.
What Happened: The electric pickup truck market has entries from several companies with Tesla, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) all trying to capture new customers and get existing truck owners to make the switch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle">to an EV.</a>
Early demand for the Slate pickup truck could indicate a new player in the market and a rival for those three companies.
Slate Auto, which counts Bezos among its early investors, has over 100,000 refundable reservations in the two weeks since unveiling its pickup truck design, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/12/slate-auto-crosses-100000-refundable-reservations-in-two-weeks/">according </a>to TechCrunch.
"We are truly humbled by American's response to Slate's brand launch and the launch of our truck," Slate's Chief Commercial Officer Jeremy Snyder told TechCrunch. "We are excited for what the future holds."
The company unveiled the truck will start below $20,000 with the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. Slate also unveiled that the truck can be converted into an SUV, one of the key features that sets the vehicle apart.
Slate said it will have capacity to make as many as 150,000 vehicles at an Indiana factory by the end of 2027.

How Reservations Stack Up: The 100,000 reservations figure includes the company charging a $50 refundable deposit to secure a place in line for the future truck.
For comparison, Tesla previously collected a $1,000 non-refundable deposit for its highly-anticipated Cybertruck. Third-party estimates showed that Tesla<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33995360/how-many-cybertruck-reservations-are-there-tesla-fans-predict-a-staggering-total-ahead-of-launch"> may have had millions of reservations </a>for the pickup truck before launch, while Tesla officially confirmed it had more than one million reservations.
Reservations don't always turn into sales as Tesla has found out. There were 39,965 Cybertrucks sold in the United States in 2024<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42986863/us-electric-vehicle-sales-hit-record-1-3-million-units-in-2024-despite-tesla-declines-top-10-bestsel"> according to estimates</a> from Kelley Blue Book. A Cybertruck recall issued in March showed 46,096 Cybertrucks on the list based on sales from November 2023 through February 2025.
The Cybertruck ranked fifth for U.S. EV sales in 2024, with the F-150 Lightning truck from Ford ranking sixth with 33,510 units sold.
With a starting price point of under $20,000, the Slate vehicle could be considerably cheaper than other electric pickup trucks, like the ones below, with starting prices&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-electric-trucks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from&nbsp;</a>Kelley Blue Book.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>F-150 Lightning:&nbsp;$57,090</li>
<li>Chevrolet Silverado EV: $75,195</li>
<li>R1T: $71,700</li>
<li>Cybertruck: $82,235</li>
</ul>
The $50 refundable deposit compared to the $1,000 non-refundable deposit make the Slate vs. Tesla comparisons tough to muster.
As TechCrunch points out, there is also a history of electric vehicle companies claiming large reservation numbers only to fail to be successful. Fisker claimed 60,000 reservations of the Ocean SUV and sold only a few thousand before declaring bankruptcy. Lordstown Motors also claimed preorder figures for its pickup truck only to later be charged by the SEC for misleading investors with preorder figures and later declaring bankruptcy.

Clean energy stocks spiked on Tuesday, with First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) jumping more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/renewable-energy">20% during early trading</a>.
The rally came after House Republicans delivered a better-than-feared tax proposal for renewable energy incentives.
The market had braced for a potential gutting of clean energy provisions under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), but the House GOP's proposed tax legislation, while imposing several phaseouts and rollbacks, kept many of the core credits intact.
This drove a sector-wide relief rally that sent major solar names and exchange-traded funds sharply higher.
First Solar has rallied 35% over the past two days, putting it on track for the strongest 2-day rally since 2013. 
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) rose 6.5% Tuesday after a 4% rally on Monday, marking its best two-day performance in more than 12 months. The Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBW#NYSE">PBW</a>) followed suit, rising 3.4% Tuesday after a 5.1% surge on Monday.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Inside The GOP Tax Bill Proposal?</h3>
The legislation, up for a House Ways and Means Committee vote Tuesday afternoon, includes several revisions to clean energy tax credits but stops short of dismantling them.
Key changes include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>25D residential solar tax credit (30%) ends for projects not installed by end-2025.</li>
<li>48E investment credit, used by residential and utility-scale solar, begins phasing out in 2029.</li>
<li>45X manufacturing credit ends after 2031, instead of phasing down in 2032.</li>
<li>45Y clean energy production credit changes qualification from "start of construction" to "placed in service" and phases down from 80% if placed in service during calendar year 2029, and then declines by 20% per year until reaching 0% in 2031.</li>
<li>Credit transferability was repealed, eliminating the ability to monetize credits by selling to large taxpayers</li>
<li>Additional cuts to funding, including $27 billion from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund</li>
</ul>
A crucial clause excludes 45X credit eligibility for firms receiving significant support from foreign entities of concern, defined by national security laws.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Manufacturers Seen As Primary Winners</h3>
Analysts at Goldman Sachs said the proposal is "not as negative as initially feared," particularly for domestic clean energy manufacturers.
&#8220;We believe the initial reaction to the proposed tax plan is relatively bullish [&#8230;] as we believe investors had been pricing in a severely bearish possible outcome – such as the immediate repeal of IRA – and the phase out looks rather measured,&#8221; the firm&#8217;s analyst Brian Lee, CFA, said.
Companies with high U.S. revenue exposure, such as Sunrun Inc., Shoals Technologies Group Inc., First Solar Inc., and Array Technologies Inc., stand to benefit the most, according to the expert.
For First Solar, the revision to the 45X credit is especially supportive, potentially contributing 75% of its 2026 earnings per share, according to Goldman estimates. The company's U.S.-based manufacturing footprint could also gain from the foreign-entity restrictions.
Conversely, residential-focused firms like Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) and SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) may face pressure from the removal of the 25D credit in 2026, which could hurt demand for solar loan and cash sale products.

CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) and The Cigna Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) shares trading lower Tuesday. President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order aimed at reducing the cost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42517567/cvs-cigna-unitedhealth-shares-slide-as-trump-targets-drug-middleman">of prescription drugs.</a>
What To Know: According to the Wall Street Journal, the executive order directs Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy to coordinate with pharmaceutical companies over the next month to lower drug prices. It also directs both the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department to take steps to combat unreasonable and discriminatory policies in foreign countries.
The order essentially aims to tie U.S. drug prices to those paid by other countries, many of which pay less due to government-negotiated rates. Trump said the order equalizes costs, arguing that Americans have been subsidizing cheaper prices abroad.
It also allows for Kennedy to impose rules and restrictions on drug companies and imports, if the companies don&#8217;t lower prices within 180 days.
The order doesn't clarify whether the pricing changes would affect Medicare or Medicaid.
CVS owns CVS Caremark and Cigna owns Express Scripts, both of which operate as pharmacy benefit managers (PBM). Investors may be reacting to the executive order's potential to undercut PBM revenues by tying U.S. drug prices to international rates rather than prices negotiated by PBMs.
CVS and Cigna may also be under pressure after UnitedHealth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">suspended its guidance</a>, as investors consider whether the same factors could impact the broader industry.

<h3>The Relevance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.

What Happened: LP's recent purchase of 566,589 shares of Treehouse Foods, disclosed in a Form 4 filing with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001320695/000090266425002275//Archives/edgar/data/1320695/000090266425002275/0000902664-25-002275-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Monday, reflects confidence in the company's potential.

Treehouse Foods's shares are actively trading at $23.2, experiencing a up of 0.56% during Tuesday's morning session.
<h3>Unveiling the Story Behind Treehouse Foods</h3>
TreeHouse Foods is the largest pure-play private-label manufacturer in the US. Much larger in the past following the 2016 acquisition of Ralcorp, Conagra's former private-label business, the company has since divested several businesses to focus on high-growth categories. At present, the company produces and sells snacks (crackers, pretzels, cookies, and so on), beverages and drink mixes (such as nondairy creamer, coffee, tea, broth), and a select number of grocery products (pickles, refrigerated dough, hot cereal, cheese, and pudding). Its most important sales channel is through retail grocery stores that sell its products under their own brands, with co-manufacturing and food away from home as much smaller channels of distribution for its fare.
<h3>Treehouse Foods's Economic Impact: An Analysis</h3>
Negative Revenue Trend: Examining Treehouse Foods's financials over 3 months reveals challenges. As of 31 March, 2025, the company experienced a decline of approximately -3.5% in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings.

Earnings per Share (EPS): Treehouse Foods's EPS is below the industry average. The company faced challenges with a current EPS of -0.63. This suggests a potential decline in earnings.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: Treehouse Foods's debt-to-equity ratio is notably higher than the industry average. With a ratio of 1.04, the company relies more heavily on borrowed funds, indicating a higher level of financial risk.
Navigating Market Valuation:
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: Treehouse Foods's current Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio of 230.7 is higher than the industry average, indicating that the stock may be overvalued according to market sentiment.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The current P/S ratio of 0.36 is below industry norms, suggesting potential undervaluation and presenting an investment opportunity for those considering sales performance.
</li>
<li>

</li>
</ul>
