Foot Locker Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

C3.ai Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AI#NYSE">AI</a>) said that it was positioning itself to tap the $47 billion growing market of AI agents by 2030. The company also highlighted key achievements that were made in collaboration with its &#8220;army of partners.&#8221;
What Happened: The enterprise AI application pure-play announced strong fourth-quarter and full fiscal year 2025 results, revealing its Agentic AI solutions business is already annualizing at an impressive $60 million in recurring revenue.
Speaking during the company&#8217;s fourth quarter earnings call, Chairman and CEO Tom Siebel expressed strong confidence in C3.ai&#8217;s advantageous position.
&#8220;We have today, I think, over 100 Agentic AI solutions deployed out there in defense, in intelligence, in state government, in local government, in manufacturing, in oil and gas, in paper and pulp, and this is a large and rapidly growing business,&#8221; Siebel stated.
He added, &#8220;As of the fourth quarter, this is about a $60 million ARR business. We have, depending on how you count, someplace between 20 and 100 Agentic AI solutions out there in production, in the hands of happy customers.&#8221;
Siebel also said that the company was setting its sights squarely on the burgeoning Agentic AI market, a segment projected to reach a staggering $47.1 billion by 2030, according to Gartner. &#8220;We are well positioned to capitalize on this trend through our production ready solutions,&#8221; he said.
Furthermore, C3.ai highlighted its unique market position, with Siebel stating, &#8220;We&#8217;re the only enterprise AI application pure play that&#8217;s out there. We&#8217;re selling, I think, today in over 600 accounts as of today that we&#8217;re jointly selling with Microsoft.&#8221;
Citing its &#8220;army of partners,&#8221; Siebel highlighted the growth it has achieved because of them.
The robust partner ecosystem, including deepened alliances with Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure, Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS, Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud, McKinsey&#8216;s QuantumBlack, and a new strategic alliance with PwC, collectively drove 73% of agreements in the past year.

Large Caps – Here's A Look At The Valuations</a>
Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657936/c3-ai-stock-jumps-after-q4-results-top-estimates">C3.AI beat analyst estimates</a> on both the top and bottom lines for the fourth quarter. Its fourth quarter revenue came in at $108.7 million, versus estimates of $107.73 million, whereas it reported an adjusted loss of 18 cents, versus estimates of a 20-cent loss.
The company expects first-quarter revenue in the range of $100 million to $109 million, versus the estimates of $105 million. Its fiscal-year 2026 revenue is in the range of $447.5 million to $484.5 million, versus estimates of $467.19 million.
C3.ai shares dropped 3.76% on Wednesday and rose 12.42% in after-hours. It was 33.60% lower on a year-to-date basis and down 3.76% over a year.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that C3.ai had a stronger price trend over the short and medium term but a weaker trend over the long term. Its momentum ranking was poor, and its value ranking was moderate at the 52.69th percentile.

C3.ai Eyes $47 Billion Agentic AI Market By 2030 With $60 Million ARR: 'We Are Well Positioned To Capitalize,' Says CEO

In the wake of a difficult phase at Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), a group of leading pension funds is urging CEO Elon Musk to commit at least 40 hours a week to the automaker. 
What Happened:  A group of major pension funds, managing approximately $950 billion in assets, has sent a letter to Tesla&#8217;s chair, Robyn Denholm, urging for corporate governance reforms to address the current turmoil at the electric vehicle manufacturer, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6b528d41-7b0b-43d5-8eac-8bba4c9dcb96">reported</a> the Financial Times.
The letter, signed by 12 long-term institutional investors, which include the New York City Comptroller and the American Federation of Teachers, highlights the need for Musk&#8217;s full-time commitment to Tesla. This demand is seen as a significant escalation in the investors&#8217; efforts to bring about change at the company.
The letter states, &#8220;The current crisis at Tesla puts into sharp focus the long-term problems at the company stemming from the CEO's absence, which is amplified by a Board that appears largely uninterested and unwilling to act in the best interest of all Tesla shareholders by demanding Musk's full-time attention on Tesla.&#8221;
The letter further urged Tesla&#8217;s board to create a succession plan for top executives&nbsp;and appoint a new director&nbsp;who is &#8220;truly independent…with no personal ties to&nbsp;other board members&#8221;.
The pension funds also proposed that Musk&#8217;s new compensation plan should require him to dedicate&nbsp;at least 40 hours a&nbsp;week to Tesla. They worry that his&nbsp;leadership roles at four private&nbsp;companies and his foundation could distract him from his responsibilities at Tesla.

Why It Matters: Despite holding only 0.25% of Tesla&#8217;s shares, the investors&#8217; move underscores the impact of Musk&#8217;s controversial political stance on the company. In May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">reports surfaced</a> that Tesla&#8217;s board had considered replacing Musk as CEO due to significant financial setbacks. However, Musk and Chair Robyn Denholm denied these claims.
The pension funds&#8217; demand for Musk&#8217;s full-time commitment to Tesla underscores the crucial role he plays in the company&#8217;s success and stability. Last week, Musk wrote on X, "Back to spending 24/7 at work and sleeping in conference/server/factory rooms. I must be super focused on X/xAI and Tesla . . . as we have critical technologies rolling out." However, he did not mention the exact amount of time he plans to dedicate to Tesla. 
On Wednesday, Musk announced the end of his role as Special Government Employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), sparking a 2.9% increase in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">Tesla&#8217;s stock</a> in overnight trading. This move was seen as a positive sign of Musk&#8217;s renewed focus on Tesla&#8217;s operations. Despite a recent surge, Tesla&#8217;s shares remain 26.5% below their December peak.

Nvidia, Best Buy And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Thursday

Kevin O'Leary is on a mission to make AI fluency essential for business leaders—and he's hiring trainers to make it happen.
What Happened: On Wednesday, O&#8217;Leary, fondly known as &#8220;Mr Wonderful,&#8221; shared a video on X, announcing that he&#8217;s hiring professionals to train CEOs on how to use artificial intelligence tools across all areas of business. 
"Mastering AI tools is the new literacy," he wrote. "If you can teach it, you'll have job security for life."
In the video, the "Shark Tank" investor explained that his firm is launching a platform called Wonder Engine to streamline AI solutions for marketing, sales, customer service and more.&nbsp;
"We're choosing amongst all the offerings and creating a package," O'Leary said. "But we need more people to train everybody how to use Wonder Engine."

Why It's Important: O'Leary's remarks signal a growing shift in business culture—AI is no longer just for engineers.
As automation tools become <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45613320/ai-is-gutting-entry-level-jobs-and-gen-z-is-paying-the-price-warns-linkedins-aneesh-raman">essential in day-to-day operations</a>, those who can teach and implement them may be some of the most in-demand professionals in the years ahead.
According to data from Statista, the global artificial intelligence (AI) market is projected to reach a value of $244.22 billion in 2025. The market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.6% between 2025 and 2031, eventually reaching a market volume of approximately $1.01 trillion by the end of the forecast period.
Among global markets, the U.S. is poised to lead with an estimated AI market size of $73.98 billion in 2025.

Kevin O'Leary Wants To Teach Every CEO How To Use AI And He's Hiring People To Do It: 'You'll Have Job Security For Life'

Japan&#8217;s education minister has called on the country&#8217;s universities to welcome international students from Harvard University following the Donald Trump administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44804541/trump-administration-halts-2-2-billion-in-harvard-grants-after-university-says-dont-dictate-what-we-can-teach-or-who-we-admit">suspension of $2.2 billion in federal grants</a> to the institution.
What Happened: Education Minister Toshiko Abe announced the initiative on Tuesday, citing growing concerns from Japanese students in the United States. &#8220;We will continue to monitor the situation closely and do everything we can to ensure that these eager, talented young people can continue their studies,&#8221; Abe stated during a press conference, <a href="https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15798671">reported</a> The Asahi Shimbun.
The move comes as Harvard faces the potential displacement of thousands of international students, including 110 Japanese students and 150 researchers.
The Trump administration suspended funding after Harvard rejected demands to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and implement ideological <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45602347/trump-escalates-war-on-ivy-league-harvard-loses-450m-more-in-federal-grants">screening of international students</a>.
Harvard President Alan Garber <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45602347/trump-escalates-war-on-ivy-league-harvard-loses-450m-more-in-federal-grants">defended the university&#8217;s position</a>, stating, &#8220;No government should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire.&#8221; The standoff has put nearly $9 billion in federal funding at risk for Harvard and other institutions, including Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern.

Why It Matters: The University of Tokyo announced its support plan on Monday, offering temporary enrollment for displaced Harvard students, <a href="https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15795529">according</a> to The Asahi Shimbun. The program mirrors Tokyo&#8217;s 2022 initiative that supported 20 Ukrainian students fleeing Russia&#8217;s invasion. Students will audit classes and receive completion certificates for future credit transfers.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration&#8217;s international student ban on May 23, though the case remains under judicial review. The education ministry plans to coordinate support through the Japan Student Services Organization and will release details of participating universities&#8217; assistance programs.

Gerber Kawasaki's CEO and Co-Founder, Ross Gerber, has said he hasn't dumped his Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) position and that his firm still holds the EV giant's shares despite Tesla insider trades and Gerber's <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">bearish views</a> on the company.
What Happened: "I have not sold all our tesla stock and we continue to hold 235k shares for clients as per our 13f filings," Gerber said in a post on the social media platform X on Wednesday.

However, the investor reiterated that his firm has continued to sell its Tesla position over the years. "We've continued lowering our exposure to tesla as we have over the last few years," Gerber said before adding that he's not exiting his position "for several reasons."
Why It Matters: Gerber's comments come in as experts like ARK Investment's Cathie Wood <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45660989/cathie-wood-ditches-5-6m-more-tesla-while-elon-musk-quits-government-role-doubles-down-on-ai-stock-under-attack-b">sold over $5.6 million worth</a> of Tesla shares ahead of the company's Robotaxi launch in Austin.

However, Tesla is going full steam ahead despite the trades and is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45662671/tesla-targets-june-12-for-robotaxi-launch-in-austin-elon-musk-says-company-ramped-up-fsd-testing-a-month-ahead-of-schedule">targeting June 12 </a>for its Robotaxi launch. Musk says that the company has ramped up unsupervised FSD testing on public roads in Austin "a month ahead of schedule."
Musk's decision to leave his role with the Trump administration and DOGE has been met <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">with positive reception</a>, as Tesla stock surged in value following the billionaire&#8217;s announcement.

Despite Bearish Views, Ross Gerber Says Tesla Stake Remains: 'We've Continued Lowering Our Exposure'

The United States has imposed new export restrictions on China, requiring licenses for semiconductor design software, chemicals, and other critical materials as tensions escalate between the world&#8217;s two largest economies.
What Happened: The Commerce Department notified companies over recent days about expanded controls affecting electronic design automation (EDA) software, butane and ethane chemicals, machine tools, and aviation equipment, Reuters reported, citing sources. 
The restrictions target strategic chokepoints to limit China&#8217;s access to products essential for key technology sectors.
Major EDA software providers Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) face significant exposure. Cadence shares plunged 10.7% following the news, while Synopsys dropped 9.6% before recovering 3.5% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. 
&#8220;We are aware of the reporting and speculations, but Synopsys has not received a notice from BIS,&#8221; CEO Sassine Ghazi told analysts, referring to the Commerce Department&#8217;s Bureau of Industry and Security, the report noted. The company maintained its 2025 revenue forecast despite market volatility.

Why It Matters: The Commerce Department confirmed it is &#8220;reviewing exports of strategic significance to China&#8221; and has &#8220;suspended existing export licenses or imposed additional license requirements while the review is pending.&#8221; Officials indicated license requests will be evaluated case-by-case basis rather than implementing an outright ban.
The timing reflects President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45661128/ross-gerber-blasts-trump-for-destroying-nvidias-china-business-gene-munster-says-forget-about-the-china-curbs-because-the-chip-giants-co">continued pressure on China</a> following his January inauguration. Investor Ross Gerber criticized the approach, stating Trump is &#8220;basically destroying&#8221; Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) China business. 
However, Deepwater Asset Management&#8216;s Gene Munster urged investors to focus on core AI growth, noting Nvidia&#8217;s business remains &#8220;on fire&#8221; despite Chinese restrictions.

US Escalates Tech War With China, New Export Curbs To Hit Cadence, Synopsys As EDA Software, Chemicals And Tools Face License Requirements: Report

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov revealed a partnership with Elon Musk&#8216;s xAI, which will see the integration of the Grok AI chatbot into the messaging platform.
What Happened: Durov disclosed on Wednesday that xAI, a startup by Musk, will pay Telegram $300 million for the integration of its Grok AI chatbot, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/28/elon-musk-xai-telegram-grok.html">CNBC</a> reported. This partnership, according to Durov, will significantly bolster Telegram&#8217;s financial standing.
As part of the agreement, Telegram will also receive 50% of the revenue generated from xAI subscriptions sold on its platform. The implementation of the Grok AI technology is expected to be available to Telegram users this summer.
Despite the announcement, Musk later stated on X that &#8220;No deal has been signed,&#8221; to which Durov responded, &#8220;True. Agreed in principle, but formalities are pending.&#8221;

This development follows the March merger of Musk&#8217;s xAI with X, which valued the AI company at $80 billion and the social media platform at $33 billion.
Meanwhile, Telegram, the Dubai-based messaging platform, recently crossed one billion monthly users and plans to raise at least $1.5 billion through a bond issuance. The app enjoys significant popularity in countries like Russia and Ukraine, where it is extensively used by government officials and military personnel.

On the other hand, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has criticized Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, alleging that it spreads "fake news and propaganda."

Elon Musk Says No Deal 'Signed' After Telegram's Pavel Durov Announces $300 Million Partnership With xAI: 'Agreed In Principle, But...'

For the second quarter of 2025, the Company expects the total revenue to be between RMB87.5 million and RMB90.5 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 10% to 14%.

Aurora Mobile Expects Q2 Revenue Of RMB87.5M-RMB90.5M, Up By 10%-14% YoY

After reporting a better-than-expected first quarter, American lifestyle retailer Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) management hinted at absorbing the tariff impact and announced plans to open 100 new &#8220;physical experiences&#8221; in 2025.
What Happened: Company CEO Fran Horowitz highlighted during the earnings call that the firm&#8217;s global supply chain and sourcing teams are working hard to drive efficiency across the supply chain.
&#8220;All of this work will have clear impact and, based on our current assumptions on tariffs, we are not planning broad-based ticket increases,&#8221; said Horowitz, hinting at tariff absorption without any price hikes.
The CFO, Robert Ball, also highlighted that the company was looking to mitigate its average unit retail price to avoid price increases.
&#8220;For AUR specifically, we are currently assuming no AUR mitigation in our outlook as we do not anticipate broad-based ticket price increases,&#8221; he said.
Adding that, &#8220;Net of expected mitigation efforts, the assumed tariffs carry a cost impact of around $50 million for 2025, impacting our full year operating margin outlook by 100 basis points.&#8221;
Furthermore, Horowitz highlighted that they expect to add 100 new &#8220;physical experiences&#8221; on the store&#8217;s front.
Ball added, &#8220;We expect to deliver around 100 new experiences, including 60 new stores and 40 right-sizes or remodels. We also expect to be net store openers, with our 60 new stores outpacing around 20 anticipated closures.&#8221;

Abercrombie & Fitch Absorbs Tariff Impact, No Price Hike Despite $50 Million Cost: Plans To Open 100 New 'Physical Experiences' In 2025

The White House has reportedly chosen to withdraw $400 million in funding that was set aside for states to upgrade their unemployment insurance systems. 
What Happened: Congress originally designated these funds as part of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package passed in 2021. The goal was to upgrade state unemployment systems, which had been overwhelmed during the pandemic, leading to significant fraud and delays in payments to beneficiaries, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/unemployment-states-fraud-labor">reported</a> Axios.
Last week, the Labor Department informed Congress that the grants are being discontinued. The Department&#8217;s report revealed that about 28% of the funds allocated to states—amounting to $219 million—were dedicated to promoting equity. Axios mentioned that &#8220;equity&#8221; in this case refers to efforts aimed at making the unemployment insurance system more accessible and easier to navigate, rather than necessarily in the context of DEI.
&#8220;When I left in December, states had spent about $100 million of the $219 million specifically for equity but only $2 million of the $204 million for IT,&#8221; mentioned Andrew Stettner, who led the modernization efforts during the Biden administration.
Stettner stated that 18 states are presently working on updates to their systems. He warned that pulling this aid now could be disastrous for states just starting these projects.
The Labor Department defended the decision by telling Axios that the grants were &#8220;squandered&#8221; on &#8220;bureaucratic and wasteful projects that focused on equitable access rather than advancing access for all Americans in need.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This decision by the Trump administration is a part of its goal to cut fraud and wasteful spending. Elon Musk, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45660989/cathie-wood-ditches-5-6m-more-tesla-while-elon-musk-quits-government-role-doubles-down-on-ai-stock-under-attack-by-short-sellers">who stepped down</a> on Wednesday, was spearheading these initiatives under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
During his time, DOGE claimed to save $160 billion by eliminating wasteful government spending. However, a recent analysis by the nonpartisan nonprofit agency, Partnership for Public Service (PSP), revealed that DOGE&#8217;s actions could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661836/tesla-stock-gains-215-after-hours-as-elon-musk-ends-doge-government-role">cost taxpayers</a> up to $135 billion this fiscal year. 
The analysis included costs related to paid leave for federal employees, rehiring of wrongly dismissed workers, and lost productivity. The figure does not account for the costs of defending multiple lawsuits against DOGE&#8217;s actions or the estimated loss in tax collections resulting from IRS staff reductions.

Leading economists are breathing a sigh of relief after a federal court struck down President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs on Wednesday.
What Happened: Economists and legal experts at The Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank, have come out in support of the ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade, with a three-judge bench unanimously stating that Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify tariffs overstepped constitutional limits.
The institute&#8217;s Chair of Constitutional Studies, Ilya Somin, who was one of the co-counsels for the plaintiffs in the case, said &#8220;It's great to see the court ruled unanimously against this power grab,&#8221; while adding that the decision makes it clear that &#8220;the President was wrong to claim a virtually unlimited power to impose tariffs.&#8221;
Somin, a professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, noted <a href="https://reason.com/volokh/2025/05/28/we-won-our-tariff-case/">in</a> a column in Reason magazine that two of the three judges on the panel, Judges Timothy Reif and Jane Restani, were appointed by Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, respectively.

Economists and legal experts at Cato hailed the decision as a necessary check on executive authority and a much-needed lifeline for import-reliant industries in the country.
The institute&#8217;s Vice President of General Economics, Scott Lincicome, described the ruling as a &#8220;huge and immediate relief&#8221; for 1,000s of American businesses, that were faced with &#8220;potentially crippling new costs&#8221; as a result of the tariffs, through &#8220;no fault of their own.&#8221;
Linciome argues that this gives America&#8217;s foreign trade partners more leverage to re-negotiate the trade agreements that the &#8220;Trump administration broke.&#8221; He also hopes that the ruling stands on appeal, so that &#8220;we can put this costly and embarrassing episode behind us,&#8221; he says.

Other economists have since weighed in on the ruling, including Justin Wolfers, a professor at the University of Michigan, and a prominent critic of Trump&#8217;s tariffs. 
Wolfers said most of Trump's tariffs were ruled illegal &#8220;because they were based on nonsense,&#8221; calling the court's decision the second-best possible off-ramp for the U.S. economy. The best outcome, he said, would be if Congress reclaimed the tariff authority granted to it by the Constitution.
