12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Thursday's Intraday Session

Google, a subsidiary of&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(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>), has reached an agreement to settle a class-action lawsuit for $28 million. The lawsuit expressed suspicion that the tech giant gave preferential treatment to white and Asian employees over others.
What Happened: The lawsuit, led by Ana Cantu, claimed that Google paid white and Asian employees more and placed them on higher career paths than other employees.
Judge Charles Adams of the Santa Clara County Superior Court in California gave preliminary approval to the settlement last week, deeming it fair and reasonable, as reported by Reuters.
Cantu stated that Google&#8217;s actions breached the California Equal Pay Act. She departed from the company in September 2021. After deducting $7 million for legal fees, the net settlement proceeds amount to $20.4 million.
Google spokesperson Courtenay Mencini confirmed&nbsp;the settlement but maintained that the company disagrees with the allegations. &#8220;We&nbsp;continue to disagree with the&nbsp;allegations that we treated anyone&nbsp;differently and remain committed to&nbsp;paying, hiring and leveling all&nbsp;employees fairly," Mencini stated.
The settlement applies to at least 6,632 individuals employed by Google in California from February 15, 2018, to December 31, 2024.
A hearing to review and approve the final settlement has been set for September 11.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44394754/cathie-wood-hops-on-tokenization-hype-train-says-wed-love-to-tokenize-our-venture-fund">Cathie Wood Hops On Tokenization Hype Train, Says &#8216;We&#8217;d Love To Tokenize Our Venture Fund&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: This settlement follows a series of legal challenges faced by Google. In February, Chegg Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHGG#NYSE">CHGG</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43930715/google-sued-over-ai-search-overviews-education-company-says-tech-giant-is-stealing-content-and-driving-publishers-out-of-business">sued</a> Google, alleging that its AI-generated search overviews were unfairly using publishers&#8217; content, reducing site traffic, and threatening the future of online publishing.
This development also comes on the heels of Google&#8217;s parent company Alphabet making its largest acquisition yet, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44376743/alphabet-makes-biggest-bet-yet-with-32-billion-wiz-buyout-to-boost-google-cloud-security">purchasing cloud security</a> firm Wiz for $32 billion. This acquisition, aimed at boosting Google Cloud&#8217;s security, signifies Alphabet&#8217;s commitment to expanding its cloud services amid increasing competition.
The recent settlement, therefore, adds to the growing list of legal and strategic challenges that Google and Alphabet are navigating as they continue to expand and innovate in the tech industry.
On Tuesday, the shares of Alphabet Inc. dropped 2.34% to close at $162.67.

Consumer Tech News (Feb 24-Feb 28): Australian Regulators Fined Telegram A$1 Million, Apple May Integrate Google Gemini AI Into Siri & More

JPMorgan analyst Bryan M. Smilek reiterated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CHGG/analyst-ratings">Neutral rating</a> on the shares of Chegg Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHGG#NYSE">CHGG</a>)
The company struggles with both long-term challenges and increased competition, leading to a weaker-than-expected outlook for first-quarter, said the analyst. 
Chegg revealed it is undergoing a strategic review and considering various options, including a potential acquisition, a go-private deal, or staying as an independent public company.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43927381/chegg-stock-plunges-after-q4-revenue-falls-24-weak-q1-guidance-details">first-quarter revenue</a> forecast suggests a decline of 33%-35% year-over-year, with the company attributing the drop to competition from generative AI and large language models, particularly due to Google&#8217;s widespread rollout of AI-driven overviews.
In January, Chegg's global non-subscriber traffic plummeted by 49% compared to the previous year, while retention rates worsened during November and December.
Churn improved toward the end of December and has since stabilized in first quarter. Chegg believes the traffic decline is mainly due to Google's AI Overviews diverting users away from third-party websites, prompting Chegg to file a complaint against Google and its parent company, Alphabet Inc (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>).
The complaint alleges that Google forces Chegg to provide proprietary content for its search engine, misuses its monopoly power in search and benefits from Chegg's content without compensating it.

Amid these challenges, Chegg is focused on stabilizing its business through product improvements, diversifying its marketing efforts, and growing its Enterprise/Busuu segment. 
The company acknowledges rebuilding its subscriber base and improving top-of-funnel metrics will take time, noted the analyst.
The company is also working on cost reductions and expects to achieve $100 million to $120 million in annualized non-GAAP savings by 2025 from restructuring efforts.
Despite these pressures, Chegg is committed to balancing investments in growth, profitability, debt repayments and shareholder returns, including a $207.5 million buyback authorization.
Notably, Chegg's $358.6 million in 2025 convertible senior notes will mature on March 15. While industry challenges are expected to persist into 2025, Chegg is hopeful subscriber and revenue trends will stabilize later in the year and the company will manage expenses to preserve profitability.
In light of these difficulties, the analyst reduced 2025 and 2026 revenue estimates by approximately 15% and adjusted EBITDA by 50%-56%.
The company believes enhancing its products, expanding marketing efforts and driving enterprise growth will help revive subscriber and revenue growth, though the timeline for this recovery is uncertain, the analyst wrote.
CHGG Price Action: Chegg shares are trading lower by 28.85% at $1.11 at publication Tuesday.

Bitcoin Plunges As Consumer Confidence Falls: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Chegg, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHGG#NYSE">CHGG</a>) shares are moving lower on Tuesday after the company reported earnings for the 2024 fiscal-year fourth-quarter and issued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43927381">guidance below estimates</a>.
What To Know: Chegg expects first-quarter sales of $114.00 million to $116.00 million, versus analysts&#8217; estimate of $138.07 million.
The company also guided subscription services revenue from $104.00 million to $106.00 million, gross margin between 66% and 67% and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $13.00 million to $14.00 million.
Nathan Schultz, CEO and President of Chegg, attributed the lower-than-expected guidance to industry-wide challenges. He said that the rise of Google AIO has significantly impacted Chegg's traffic and revenue, as Google AIO displays AI-generated content from third-party sources like Chegg, keeping traffic on Google's platform.
Schultz stated that Google AIO has caused non-subscriber traffic to drop 49% in January 2025, down significantly from the 8% decrease in the 2024 fiscal-year second-quarter. Notably, Chegg is currently suing Google over the issue.
&#8220;While the challenges we outlined will persist, we are focused on the clear goal of stabilizing the business through the course of 2025. We are driven by a core belief that the relevancy and need for comprehensive student success platforms – offering an adaptive, personalized experience to support learning – will only increase over the coming years,&#8221; said Schultz.

What's Going On With Chegg Shares Tuesday?

Chegg shares are trading lower after the company issued Q1 sales guidance below estimates.

On Monday, Chegg Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHGG#NYSE">CHGG</a>) sued Alphabet Inc.'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, alleging that its AI-generated search overviews are unfairly using publishers' content, reducing site traffic, and threatening the future of online publishing.
What Happened: Chegg, a provider of textbook rentals and online tutoring, filed the lawsuit in Washington, D.C., claiming that Google&#8217;s AI overviews are diminishing demand for original content and harming publishers&#8217; competitiveness, reported Reuters.
Chegg CEO Nathan Schultz stated, "Our lawsuit is about more than Chegg – it's about the digital publishing industry, the future of internet search, and about students losing access to quality, step-by-step learning in favor of low-quality, unverified AI summaries."

Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda dismissed the claims, stating, "With AI Overviews, people find Search more helpful and use it more, creating new opportunities for content to be discovered."
Why It Matters: Previously, publishers like The Atlantic have also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36236482/googles-ai-search-a-double-edged-sword-for-publishers-like-the-atlantic">expressed concerns</a> over Google&#8217;s AI search capabilities, fearing reduced web traffic as users receive direct answers without visiting external sites.

However, this figure fell slightly short of the Street consensus estimate of $96.6 billion.
At the time, Google also revealed that its AI-driven search features are now generating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485518/google-ais-search-revenue-matches-traditional-ads-says-alphabet-but-there-is-rising-competition-from-openai-perplexity-deepseek">monetization rates</a> on par with traditional search results.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Alphabet&#8217;s Class A shares dipped 0.14% in after-hours trading to $179.01, while Class C shares inched up 0.011% to $181.21, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>. Meanwhile, Chegg shares have plummeted over 98% from their 2021 peak.

&#8220;We made two important and connected decisions to maximize the future of our business and shareholder value.
