Atour Lifestyle Holdings Limited ("Atour" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATAT#NASDAQ">ATAT</a>), a leading hospitality and lifestyle company in China, today announced that as part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder value, the Board of Directors (the "Board") has (i) declared a dividend under its three-year annual dividend policy (the "Annual Dividend Policy") adopted in August 2024, and (ii) authorized a three-year share repurchase program of up to US$400 million (the "Share Repurchase Program").
Dividend
In accordance with the Annual Dividend Policy, as the first dividend payment in 2025, the Board today declared a cash dividend of US$0.14 per ordinary share, or US$0.42 per American depositary share ("ADS"). Each ADS represents three Class A ordinary shares. The aggregate amount of the cash dividend to be distributed will be approximately US$58 million.
The cash dividend will be payable in U.S. dollars on or around June 18, 2025 to the holders of record of the Company's ordinary shares (excluding certain Class A ordinary shares previously held by The Bank of New York Mellon, as the depositary bank, for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved under the Company's share incentive plan) and ADSs as of the close of trading on June 2, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Time). Dividends to be paid to the Company's ADS holders through the depositary will be subject to the terms of the deposit agreement by and among the Company, the depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of ADS issued thereunder, including the fees and expenses payable thereunder.
The Board adopted the Annual Dividend Policy in August 2024, under which the Company plans to declare and distribute dividends with an aggregate amount of no less than 50% of its net income for the preceding financial year in each of the three financial years commencing in 2024. Under the Annual Dividend Policy, the exact dividend amount will be determined at the Board's discretion based on its assessment of the Company's actual and projected results of operations, financial and cash position, capital requirements and other relevant factors.
Share Repurchase Program
On the same day, the Board authorized the three-year Share Repurchase Program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$400 million in value of its ordinary shares and/or ADSs.
The Company's proposed repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The timing and dollar amount of repurchase transactions will be subject to the SEC Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 requirements. The Board will review the share repurchase program periodically, and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. The Company expects to fund the repurchases out of its existing cash balance.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately RMB3.1 billion (US$434 million) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

Insights From Analysts:
The Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo, Scott Wren, said that &#8220;We do not see the U.S. economy dipping into a recession this year as consumer spending should continue to grow modestly with growth in real incomes.&#8221;
Wren anticipates a modest rebound in GDP next year, rising to 1.8% from their projected 1% for this year, following a continued growth slowdown over the next couple of quarters.
Wells Fargo doesn&#8217;t foresee a U.S. recession this year because consumer spending should continue its modest growth, bolstered by increasing real incomes, even if it&#8217;s weaker than late last year.
While unemployment is expected to tick up due to below-average economic growth, Wells Fargo&#8217;s 5.3% projection for 2026 remains well below recessionary levels.
Furthermore, he added that &#8220;We also still see plenty of up and down in equity prices but ultimately a higher S&amp;P 500 Index by the end of 2026.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Kristian Kerr, head of macro strategy at LPL Financial, said that &#8220;Greater clarity is expected later this summer, as economic data tends to lag, meaning the full impact of tariffs may not be evident until June or July at the earliest.&#8221;
Additionally, he explained that the current policy landscape remains in flux, with broader tariffs largely paused until early July and China exempt from significant tariff increases until August 12.
&#8220;If meaningful economic weakness does materialize — confirmed by hard data mirroring the softness seen in leading indicators — or trade negotiations deteriorate, another bout of market volatility could ensue, potentially aligning with historical seasonal patterns where equities often struggle from late summer into fall.&#8221;

Why Urban Outfitters Shares Are Trading Higher By 18%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) CEO Marc Benioff credits a pivotal 2010 conversation with Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs for shaping the focused product strategy that helped build his company&#8217;s $270.8 billion market capitalization.
What Happened: Speaking at the 2024 All-In Summit with President Donald Trump&#8216;s White House AI &amp; Crypto Czar David Sacks, Benioff recalled how Jobs summoned him to discuss Apple&#8217;s product philosophy during the iPad&#8217;s development phase.
&#8220;After I started Salesforce, he gave me really key advice,&#8221; Benioff said. &#8220;It was 2010 and he calls me, &#8216;Come down here, I need to talk to you.'&#8221;
During the meeting, Jobs demonstrated two iPad prototypes before explaining his &#8220;one A Team&#8221; philosophy. &#8220;We only have one A Team here. One A Team. So we&#8217;re only focused on one thing at a time,&#8221; Jobs told Benioff, according to the Salesforce CEO&#8217;s account.
Jobs then placed five or six products on his coffee table, telling Benioff: &#8220;We will never have more products than can fit on my coffee table. One focus at a time. Remember that, Marc. That&#8217;s the way you need to run Salesforce.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This focused approach has proven successful for Salesforce, which generated an estimated $7.9 billion in Sales Cloud subscription revenue for fiscal 2026. BofA Securities analyst Brad Sills maintains a Buy rating with a $350 price target, citing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45357365/salesforce-sales-cloud-ai-integration-and-cloud-upsells-drive-analyst-confidence-in-long-term-growth">company&#8217;s core growth businesses and AI integration</a> through its Agentforce platform.
Benioff, who worked as an assembly language programmer at Apple in 1984, has applied Jobs&#8217; philosophy while expanding Salesforce beyond its original CRM software into what he calls &#8220;digital labor&#8221; markets. The company&#8217;s Sales Cloud maintains an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45357365/salesforce-sales-cloud-ai-integration-and-cloud-upsells-drive-analyst-confidence-in-long-term-growth">estimated 25% share of the $39 billion Sales CRM industry</a>, according to Gartner forecasts.
Salesforce Ventures, with $6.8 billion under management, recently scored approximately $600 million when Google acquired cybersecurity firm Wiz. The company&#8217;s $1 billion Generative AI Fund has invested in Anthropic and other AI startups, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/05/45436500/salesforce-ceo-marc-benioff-says-funding-thousands-of-startups-is-how-innovation-happens-youre-going-to-throw-a-lot-against-the-wall">reflecting Benioff&#8217;s belief</a> that &#8220;you must fund the chaos to harvest the miracles.&#8221;

Steve Jobs Once Invited Marc Benioff To His Office With 2 iPads In 2010: The Lesson That Shaped A $270 Billion Salesforce Empire

The Trump administration has made an urgent plea to the Supreme Court to prevent Elon Musk&#8216;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from disclosing its operational documents&nbsp;to a federal watchdog group.
What Happened: The administration made the appeal on Wednesday, asking the Supreme Court to overturn court orders requiring DOGE to share its operational documents with Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), <a href="https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-doge-freedom-information-records-trump-14a1773b42ddad1e3367a39750a84bef">reported</a> AP News.
The Justice Department maintains that DOGE, a significant component of President Trump&#8217;s government reform initiatives, is a presidential advisory body and therefore not subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
In February, CREW initiated a lawsuit claiming that DOGE&nbsp;wields considerable power without any transparency about its activities.&nbsp;In March, U.S. District Judge&nbsp;Christopher Cooper&nbsp;ruled that DOGE&#8217;s role likely goes beyond advisory, noting its role in the closure of USAID and the reduction of billions in government contracts.&nbsp;
Cooper has given the administration a compliance deadline of June 13. Solicitor General D. John Sauer urged the justices to act swiftly, calling Cooper's orders "extraordinarily overbroad and intrusive."

Why It Matters:&nbsp;This latest development is part of a series of legal battles surrounding DOGE&#8217;s authority and operations. Earlier this month, the Trump administration&nbsp;sought Supreme Court <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45189902/trump-administration-pushes-supreme-court-to-greenlight-doge-access-to-americans-social-security-data-despite-lower-courts-fishing-expedition-warning">approval&nbsp;</a>for DOGE to access sensitive Social Security data, despite a lower court&#8217;s ruling against this. This move further escalated the ongoing dispute over data privacy and executive authority.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), has been at the center of these controversies. Musk&#8217;s DOGE has been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44778750/musks-government-efficiency-push-falls-short-as-treasury-data-shows-spending-up-sharply-under-trumps-second-term-report">aggressively cutting costs</a>, yet federal spending has reportedly increased by $154 billion since Trump&#8217;s second term began. This has raised questions about the effectiveness and impact of DOGE&#8217;s actions.
When CNBC&#8217;s David Faber asked Musk on Tuesday about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45534314/elon-musk-just-got-grilled-on-doge-spending-hits-back-with-were-not-kings-here">concrete results</a> of DOGE&#8217;s cost-cutting measures, pointing out the criticism Musk has received, Musk replied: "We are advisers. We are not—we&#8217;re not kings here." Previously, Musk had accepted that DOGE hadn&#8217;t been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45163408/doge-not-as-effective-as-id-like-says-elon-musk-calls-reform-really-difficult-like-changing-direction-of-a-fleet-of-supertankers">as effective</a> as he&#8217;d like.

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) maintained healthy momentum Thursday morning, following Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) record-breaking rally, which bolstered the entire cryptocurrency market.
What happened: The dog-themed token sailed to an intraday high of $0.2433 late Wednesday night before experiencing a minor pullback. DOGE's trading volume popped 55% to over $3 billion, making it one of the most traded cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours.
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez spotted DOGE's breakout from a bull pennant formation, suggesting a price target of $0.31.
A bullish pennant is a continuation chart pattern, indicating resumption of an uptrend after a pause or consolidation period.

Future Fund LLC's Managing Director, Gary Black, called Baidu Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) autonomous taxi service, Apollo Go, the "world's autonomous ride-hailing leader" as it reached the eleven million paid rides milestone.
What Happened: "$BIDU‘s Apollo Go autonomous ride hailing business has now completed 11 million paid autonomous rides," Black said in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Black then set the context and drew parallels with services like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). "In 1Q, Apollo Go expanded its driverless ride-hailing business into Dubai and Abu Dhabi," he said, highlighting the company's growth.
He also shared updates from the company's Q1 earnings release and how Apollo will provide fully autonomous rental services in China. The company also completed 1.4 million rides in Q1 2025.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Baidu CEO Robin Li touted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45557944/baidus-apollo-go-enters-dubai-and-abu-dhabi-ceo-robin-li-touts-global-robotaxi-lead-with-1-4-million-rides-in-q1">Apollo Go's robotaxi prowess </a>at the company's earnings call. With the Dubai and Abu Dhabi expansion, the service operates in over 15 cities globally.
"With over 1,000 fully driverless vehicles now deployed globally, we continue to solidify our position as the world's leading autonomous ride-hailing service provider," Li shared at the earnings call.
Elsewhere, Waymo recently announced it reached the ten million paid autonomous rides mark, doubling its total in a period of 5 months. The figure includes rides from cities like Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Austin.
Waymo has had a substantial lead over rivals like Tesla and Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox, as the company had also previously shared it reached <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001569/waymo-announces-250000-weekly-paid-rides-across-four-us-cities-sundar-pichai-says-personal-ownership-an-option-in-the-future">250,000 weekly rides</a>.

Gary Black Calls Tesla Rival Baidu's Apollo Go 'Autonomous Ride Hailing Leader' Following Eleven Million Paid Robotaxi Rides Milestone

Cadeler today announces that it has agreed to acquire the Boqiang 3060 – a newly-constructed jack-up wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) – from Shanghai Boqiang Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd, expanding its fleet and enhancing its capacity to meet the increasing global demand for offshore wind turbine operations &amp; maintenance (O&amp;M) services.
The vessel will be renamed Wind Keeper, a name symbolising both the vessel's position as a rare and valuable find – a true "keeper" – and her focus on ensuring the up-keep of green energy generation through the provision of O&amp;M services to the offshore wind industry.
Completed in 2024 and fitted with advanced European equipment, including a Huisman main crane with a 2,200 t lifting capacity, Kongsberg's DP2 dynamic positioning system, MAN-supplied engines and a Siemens propulsion system, the vessel is uniquely suited for the global offshore O&amp;M market, with 120-meter-long jack-up legs that will enable her to work on the most challenging offshore sites.
Cadeler expects to take delivery of the Wind Keeper in Q3 2025, for a purchase price significantly below the vessel's estimated replacement cost. While the vessel comes equipped to a high standard, Cadeler will invest in certain upgrades to improve her operational capacity and align her onboard offering with that of Cadeler's existing fleet. After the contemplated upgrades, the vessel will be capable of supporting new installations in the 15 MW segment. Cadeler is continuing to assess the cost to Cadeler of such upgrades and will communicate its total investment in the vessel in due course.
The acquisition is fully debt financed on attractive terms, with a facility provided by DNB Bank ASA.
Following a comprehensive review of available offshore assets globally, Cadeler is pleased to have secured this unique asset, which will be capable of delivering an immediate operational impact on a cost-effective basis.

Urban Outfitters Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URBN#NASDAQ">URBN</a>) reported better-than-expected first-quarter earnings on Wednesday and highlighted that it was navigating the tariff-induced headwinds with its diversification strategies by sourcing from multiple countries.
What Happened: The company&#8217;s Co-President and COO, Frank Conforti, highlighted during the earnings call that &#8220;Quickly after the announcement of tariffs, our teams started working on how to mitigate the impacts with a primary focus on the customer's experience.&#8221;
He underscored that this happened through vendor negotiations, shifting countries of origin, changing transportation modes, from air to boat, and &#8220;gently and sparingly&#8221; raising prices.
&#8220;We currently have no single country that accounts for more than 25% of our production. India, Vietnam, and Turkey are our three largest countries of origin, while China represents less than 5%,&#8221; he said.
Conforti also reiterated that URBN is confident in achieving 50 to 100 basis points of gross margin improvement for fiscal year 2026 despite tariff uncertainty.
However, company CFO Melanie Marein-Efron said that Urban Outfitters could face &#8220;some fashion risk of bringing product in early&#8221; in the second quarter as the company had some early receipts to bring in inventory ahead of the uncertain tariff outlook.
However, she said that the inventory also arrived &#8220;earlier than planned.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Urban Outfitters reported a revenue of $1.33 billion, which beat the Street estimate of $1.28 billion. Also, the earnings of $1.16 per share beat the analyst consensus estimate of 82 cents by 41.46%.
Talking about the second quarter, the CFO also said that &#8220;We believe that it is prudent planning to bring in fall inventory, which is less sensitive to fashion early, given the uncertain tariff outlook and any potential supply chain disruptions that could occur in the future.&#8221;
URBN shares ended 2.84% lower on Wednesday and rose 17.45% in after-hours. The company has advanced 4.86% on a year-to-date basis and 51.19% over a year.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended lower on Wednesday.

Urban Outfitters Navigates Tariff Headwinds With Diversification Strategies: No Country 'Accounts For More Than 25%' Of Production

Activist short seller Andrew Left&#8216;s Citron Research has renewed its bearish stance on Duolingo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUOL#NASDAQ">DUOL</a>), citing Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) subsidiary Google&#8217;s newly announced artificial intelligence translation technology as a significant threat to the language learning company&#8217;s business model.
What Happened: Citron acknowledged on social media platform X that the firm &#8220;got it wrong&#8221; with its initial short position before Duolingo&#8217;s last earnings report. However, it maintained that Google&#8217;s latest AI innovation has strengthened its bearish thesis rather than weakened it.
&#8220;Yesterday, Google changed the entire language learning market at I/O 2025,&#8221; Citron wrote, referencing Google&#8217;s developer conference where the tech giant unveiled Meet&#8217;s AI-powered speech translation feature.
Citron compared the potential impact to historical technological disruptions. &#8220;Saying Google&#8217;s new AI translation tool won&#8217;t impact Duolingo is like saying calculators didn&#8217;t reduce the need to learn arithmetic,&#8221; he stated.

Why It Matters: The new Google Meet tool translates conversations in near real-time while preserving the speaker&#8217;s voice, tone, and expression.
According to Google, the Gemini-powered feature can translate between English and Spanish initially, with Italian, German, and Portuguese support planned for the coming weeks.
The service requires a subscription to Google&#8217;s AI Pro plan or the new AI Ultra subscription at $249.99 monthly, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/news/670322/google-meet-gemini-translation-ai-english-spanish">according</a> to The Verge.
The short seller&#8217;s renewed pessimism contrasts sharply with recent Wall Street sentiment.

Duolingo currently serves 130 million monthly active users, representing approximately 18% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45234350/duolingo-analyst-sees-ebitda-expansion-strong-user-trends-and-monetization-upside">global online language learners</a>.

Short Seller Andrew Left's Citron Doubles Down On Duolingo Short, Says Google's AI Tool Changes The Business

Gerber Kawasaki CEO and Co-Founder Ross Gerber says that Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk is taking "very concrete steps" to improve the situation at the company.
What Happened: "Seems like Elon might've gotten my message that he needs to get back to work at Tesla, he needs to start doing positive media," Gerber said in an interview <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/video/shows/the-close/2025/05/20/elon-musk-commits-to-staying-as-tesla-ceo/">with</a> Bloomberg on Tuesday.
Gerber then highlighted how Musk stepping away from the government and the "divisive comments", which were hurting the brand's image, was a "good development" for the company.
However, Gerber also outlined that Musk would need to recalibrate his focus on the company. "You're not gonna change Elon so I'm not gonna try to go down that path," he said. "I think it's mostly where his focus is and where his communication and communication is done, which really affects Tesla sales and the brand substantially," Gerber said.
Gerber also weighed in on June's Robotaxi launch and how it is a "crucial time" for the EV giant. Speaking on Robotaxi, Gerber said, "Clearly, this is a product that's not quite ready to go," before highlighting there was still a lot of work to be done at Tesla.
Why It Matters: Gerber's comments come in at a time when Musk is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45519469/tesla-stock-rises-after-musk-reaffirms-leadership-and-business-rebound">reaffirming his commitment </a>to Tesla as well as robotaxis. Recently, the billionaire brushed off the idea of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45535283/elon-musk-brushes-off-potential-tesla-uber-deal-believes-owners-could-add-their-cars-to-ev-giants-autonomous">a potential deal</a> with ride-hailing giant Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>).
Interestingly, Gerber <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45511328/ross-gerber-slams-teslas-fsd-technology-ahead-of-robotaxi-launch-maintains-bearish-views-on-elon-musks-company-after-dumping-10-stake-in-q1-2025">has been bearish</a> on Tesla and dumped more than 20,000 Tesla shares in Q1 2025. He has also criticized FSD technology on numerous occasions.&nbsp;
Elsewhere, analysts like Dan Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45557873/tesla-bull-dan-ives-thinks-elon-musks-ev-giant-could-be-entering-a-golden-era-says-2-trillion-market-cap-on-the-table">maintain bullish views</a> on Tesla. Ives recently said that he believes a two-trillion-dollar market cap for Tesla "could be on the table" following Musk's comments.
