Guidance and Outlook The Company provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis as we cannot predict certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange translation and commodity mark-to-market net impacts. For 2025, the Company continues to expect: • A low-single-digit increase in organic revenue; • Core constant currency EPS to be approximately even with the prior year; • A core annual effective tax rate of approximately 20 percent; and • Total cash returns to shareholders of approximately $8.6 billion, comprised of dividends of $7.6 billion and share repurchases of $1.0 billion. The Company now expects a foreign exchange translation headwind of approximately 1.5-percentage- points to negatively impact reported net revenue and core EPS growth (previously an approximate 3- percentage-point headwind), based on current market consensus rates. This assumption and the guidance above implies a 1.5 percent decline in core EPS in 2025 (previously a 3 percent decline in core EPS) compared to 2024 core EPS of $8.16.

Pro-cryptocurrency Senator&nbsp;Cynthia Lummis&nbsp;(R-Wyo.)&nbsp;expressed concern Wednesday over reports suggesting a massive reduction in the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held by the U.S.

These concerns led to a widespread rush into gold and a sell-off of the U.S. dollar.
Investors await Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) earnings and June&#8217;s retail sales data, scheduled to be released later today.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.47% and the two-year bond was at 3.91%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
Financial, real estate, and healthcare sectors led gains on Wednesday, contributing to a higher close for U.S. stocks. However, energy and communication services bucked the trend, finishing lower.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter results, driven by robust gains in its global banking and trading divisions. Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) also posted strong second-quarter financial earnings.
On the economic data front, the Producer Price Index was flat in June, down from a 0.3% gain in May and below the 0.2% consensus forecast. On a year-over-year basis, producer prices rose 2.3%, the slowest pace since September 2024 and softer than the 2.5% economists had expected.

Insights From Analysts:
While the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46461053/federal-reserves-beige-book-reveals-tariff-driven-profit-squeeze-as-businesses-avoid-price-hikes-what-it-means-for-consumers">Fed&#8217;s Beige Book</a>, released Wednesday, stated that businesses that did not raise prices or pass on the impact of tariffs to their customers are likely to take a hit on their profit margins.
Jeffrey Roach, the chief economist at LPL Financial, told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a> that "Investors should expect margin compression as businesses held off raising prices because of customers' growing price sensitivity."
Roach's macro quicktake was that Beige Book reveals "heavier margin compression" in the coming months, cautioning the investors and consumers.
&#8220;We&#8217;re hearing from a lot of businesses that a lot of companies are going to absorb tariffs in their margins over time, maybe three to five years in some cases, and slowly pass the costs along,&#8221; said Alex Coffey, senior trading and derivatives strategist at Schwab.
Meanwhile, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates supported Trump calling out Powell and said &#8220;Obviously, President Trump will continue to bash Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and push for multiple key interest rate cuts, since higher rates are hindering real estate and other major sectors of the U.S. economy.&#8221;
Angelo Kourkafas, of Edward Jones, stated that earnings growth for the S&amp;P 500 is expected to slow in the second quarter to around 5% from the more than 10% in the prior two quarters.
However, he said that for the full year, estimates call for 8.5% growth, which, if realized, would be above the index&#8217;s long-term average of 6.5%.
&#8220;Lingering uncertainties suggest that there could be some more volatility around these expectations, but next year&#8217;s backdrop appears to be more favorable, as corporate profits may reaccelerate amid lower rates and modest fiscal stimulus from the tax bill,&#8221; he added.

US Stocks Likely To Open On A Mixed Note: Netflix, PepsiCo, TSM Earnings In Focus

As streaming giant Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) gears up for its second-quarter earnings on Thursday, MoffettNathanson analyst Robert Fishman says investors should look forward to a strong performance, led by price hikes and early momentum in the platform&#8217;s advertising business.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NFLX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFLX stock here.</a>
What Happened: On Wednesday, Fishman said that he was &#8220;Expecting mid-teens revenue growth&#8221; during its second quarter, while speaking to CNBC&#8217;s Closing Bell Overtime, while pointing to pricing increases and the ramp-up of ad monetization as the two primary catalysts driving bottom-line gains.
&#8220;The result of these pricing increases and the early innings ramp up in the advertising monetization of their engagement really allows a lot of these revenue dollars to flow down to the bottom line,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So we're expecting 30% earnings growth this year.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/07/46371957/netflixs-squid-game-reality-show-gets-season-2-date-4-56-million-prize-without-the-killing">Netflix&#8217;s Squid Game Reality Show Gets Season 2 Date: $4.56 Million Prize Without The Killing</a>
Fishman believes that growth won't be a one-off either. He sees &#8220;that elevated level of earnings growth to really continue over the next few years,&#8221; which in turn &#8220;allows for this premium multiple&#8221; that the stock currently commands.
The analyst also emphasized the company's decision to move away from its exclusive relationship with Microsoft in advertising. That shift is allowing Netflix to partner with third-party platforms like The Trade Desk and invest in in-house technology to better monetize its massive viewer engagement.
&#8220;By building out their in-house technology and partnering with third-party demand-side platforms like the Trade Desk, really has allowed them to start to monetize their inventory in a completely different way,&#8221; Fishman said.
Looking ahead, Fishman is optimistic that Netflix can further expand through live events and sports, pointing to recent moves like its women's boxing match stream. &#8220;They have the ability to really tap into a different level of engagement,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: Netflix shares are up 41% year-to-date and 153% over the past five years, with a market capitalization of $532 billion.


According to reports, it aims to double this figure to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44806071/netflix-eyes-1-trillion-market-cap-by-2030-aims-to-double-revenue-and-dominate-global-streaming-report">$1 trillion by 2030</a>, while tripling its operating income from $10 billion in 2024, and growing its global subscriber base to 410 million, from the existing 300 million. It is particularly focused on international markets with high broadband penetration, such as India and Brazil, to attain this goal.
In the lead up to its second quarter results, analysts are citing a weak dollar and strong performances by hit series Squid Game to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/07/46453824/netflix-q2-earnings-preview-squid-game-lift-is-clear-but-whats-the-next-blockbuster">drive momentum</a>.
The company is set to release its second-quarter results on Thursday at 12:45 PM EST.
Price Action: The stock was down 0.79% on Wednesday, trading at $1,250.31, and is up 0.36% after hours.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is facing criticism from New York state officials over a bylaw change that restricts shareholder lawsuits.
What Happened: The electric vehicle manufacturer revised its corporate bylaws in May, necessitating investors to hold at least 3% of the stock, valued at around $30 billion today, to file a derivative lawsuit for breach of fiduciary duties against the company. This change has drawn the ire of New York state officials, who are now demanding that Tesla scrap the bylaw altogether, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/16/tesla-change-to-limit-shareholder-suits-slammed-by-new-york-officials.html">reported</a> CNBC.
On July 11, the New York State Common Retirement Fund — which owns about 0.1% of Tesla's shares — submitted a formal proxy proposal and letter to the company, accusing Tesla of using a "bait-and-switch" strategy to gain shareholder approval for its relocation from Delaware to Texas in June 2024.

The move followed a Delaware judge's decision to void the $56 billion compensation package granted to CEO Elon Musk in 2018.
New York officials allege that Tesla misled shareholders by promising their rights would remain intact under Texas law, only to amend its bylaws the day after Texas introduced a rule requiring 3% ownership to file shareholder derivative lawsuits.
According to New York officials, these actions effectively protect Tesla's directors and executives from being held accountable by shareholders.
The letter, representing both the retirement fund and New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, was signed by Gianna McCarthy, the fund's director of corporate governance.
Why It Matters: The bylaw change by Tesla has sparked a significant controversy, especially in light of the ongoing tensions between Musk and the U.S. government.
Major investors have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46335587/tesla-investors-call-for-shareholder-meeting-amid-elon-musk-trump-feud-declining-sales-report">urged the company&#8217;s Board of Directors</a> to hold the annual shareholders meeting amid the escalating feud between Musk and President Donald Trump. The meeting is now set for November 6th, with Musk&#8217;s $56 billion pay package expected to be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46359669/teslas-annual-shareholder-meeting-set-for-november-6th-dan-ives-says-elon-musks-pay-package-in-the-spotlight">key focus of the discussions</a>.
Meanwhile, veteran investor Gary Black has suggested that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46435076/gary-black-says-shareholder-vote-the-fairest-way-to-decide-on-tesla-xai-merger-questions-elon-musks-plans-to-sell-xai-likely-to-grow">shareholder vote would be the fairest way</a> to decide on a potential merger between Tesla and xAI, questioning Musk&#8217;s plans to sell xAI.
Price Action: Tesla closed Wednesday at $321.67, up 3.50%, and edged higher to $322.60 in pre-market trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Elon Musk's Tesla Under Fire From New York Officials Over Bylaw Blocking Shareholder Lawsuits: Investor Calls It 'Bait-and-Switch'

On Thursday, South Korea's Supreme Court cleared Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) chairman Jay Y. Lee of stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/02/43440540/samsungs-jay-y-lee-acquitted-shifting-focus-to-business-challenges">manipulation and accounting fraud charges</a> related to a 2015 merger, ending a nearly decade-long legal battle.
What Happened: The ruling upholds a lower court decision that dismissed all charges against Lee involving the $8 billion merger between Samsung C&amp;T and Cheil Industries, reported Reuters.
Prosecutors had alleged the deal was orchestrated to solidify Lee's control over Samsung Group following his father's incapacitation in 2014.
Lee's legal team welcomed the outcome, stating that the court confirmed the legality of the merger. The Korea Enterprises Federation also praised the verdict, calling it a stabilizing move for South Korea's economy, the report added.

"The Supreme Court ruling clears a layer of legal uncertainty, which could be a long-term positive for Samsung," said Ryu Young-ho, senior analyst at NH Investment &amp; Securities. "It remains to be seen how directly and proactively he will engage going forward."
Samsung Electronics shares jumped 3.1% following the decision, outperforming the broader KOSPI index. Analysts also cited a downgrade of rival SK Hynix by Goldman Sachs as a factor in the stock movement, the report added.
Why It's Important: Samsung, which warned of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46288786/us-export-bans-and-nvidia-supply-issues-crush-samsung-chip-profits-hopes-rest-on-ultra-thin-foldables-smartwatches-and-possible-xr-debut-at-galaxy-unpacked-event">56% drop in the second-quarter</a> operating profit, is under pressure to regain momentum in AI chip development and revive its struggling semiconductor division.
In 2024, during his two-week trip to the U.S., Lee held meetings with Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Andy Jassy and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) CEO Cristiano Amon.
Their discussions focused on collaboration opportunities in artificial intelligence, cloud services, and semiconductors.
