Scotiabank Maintains Sector Perform on Lightspeed Commerce, Lowers Price Target to $10

Never say never, but it finally looks like inflation is moderating, if not abating, in 2025.
Core US inflation increased by 2.3% in April, slightly lower than the 2.4% annual rate recorded in March. That's the lowest overall inflation rate increase since February 2021, according to US government figures.
That's good news for both consumers and businesses, both of whom historically benefit from more tepid inflation rates. Life and investing are both easier when prices are stable and more predictable.
"Although it is not our expectation, it is possible that tariffs will not cause inflation to pick up," said David Seif, chief economist for developed markets at Nomura, in comments to Benzinga. "If that's the case, then we'd expect the Fed to be able to cut rates sooner than we expect."
Currently, Seif said he expects to see the next Fed interest rate cut in December 2025.
Other economic experts say evidence supports the growth of more profitable sectors during periods of lower inflation.
"Falling interest rates have historically been a tailwind for equity investors, said Robert Johnson, chairman and CEO at Economic Index Associates. 
In the book &#8220;Invest With the Fed,&#8221; Johnson and his co-authors Gerald Jensen and Luis Garcia-Feijoo found that from 1966 through 2023, the S&amp;P 500 returned 16.4% when the Fed was lowering interest rates and only 6.2% when the Fed was hiking rates. Additionally, inflation was markedly higher when the Fed was hiking versus lowering rates (4.4% versus 3.1%), so the difference in real returns to stock investors was even greater.
"The best performing sectors in a falling interest rate environment were automobiles (30.9%), apparel (27.3%), and retail (25.8%)," Johnson noted. "In addition, small stocks outperformed large stocks during falling interest rate environments. The smallest quintile of stocks returned 30.1% during falling rate environments while the largest quintile returned 15.6%."
These sectors perform better because they are primarily related to consumer discretionary expenditures. "When the stock market is doing well, people often spend more because they feel wealthier, which economists call the ‘wealth effect," Johnson added.
As Seif indicates, the economy isn't out of the woods yet, not with the tariff troubles percolating globally. But if you're looking for a short-term advantage or a head-start on an extended stock market play, here's a closer look at a handful of stocks that may benefit right away from a milder inflation rate climate.
Here are the three stocks most likely to benefit from slower inflation. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Duke Energy</h2>
Utilities have historically benefited from lower rates. "Investors could be interested in these as potential income replacements," said Hao Dang, investment strategist at Consilio Wealth Advisors. "Their businesses are also debt-funded, so lower rates could make things cheaper to run."
That's where Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) comes in.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based utilities giant is a big energy player. It has a $90.9 market cap with bandwidth – it delivers electricity to 8.2 million consumers and provides gas to 1.6 million customers, primarily in the US Midwest and Southeast. It's also in robust growth mode with expected earnings of $1.26 per share for this quarter, translating into a 6.8% growth rate yearly. Toss a hefty 3.56 dividend yield income into the mix, and investors looking for an element of growth should take a closer look at DUK.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs</h2>
The financial sector is also worth closer examination when inflation is moderating.
"Lower rates typically lead to more deal flow, increased leverage and appetite for private equity activity," said Julia Khandoshko, CEO at Mind Money, an investment technology and financial engineering company.
Khandoshko points to one investment banking titan right now that excels in the deal generation and execution realm.
"In financials, a potential rebound in IPOs and M&amp;A this year makes Goldman Sachs particularly interesting," she noted.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) stock has been sluggish so far in 2025, down 9.8% in the past months, but it bounced back in the past month, with shares up 16.5%. Goldman is a signature name in the finance and banking sector and is highly likely to prosper from more robust mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings &#8211; both hallmark deals in times of tamer inflation.
Goldman has certainly been good to its investors, returning 27.75% on an annualized basis over the past five years and outperforming the stock market by 12.73% over the same time frame.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon</h2>
In lower inflation periods, consumers open their pocketbooks and spend more money. In this digital age, there's no more likely place for shoppers to hit "buy" than on Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), the $2.19 trillion market cap behemoth.
The timing may be right to get in on a retail and AI stock that's down 7.15% year-to-date.
"Amazon benefits greatly from the strengths and rapid evolution of the e-commerce sector and high-margin AWS growth," Khandoshko said.
Amazon's stock may be off balance in 2025, but its financials seem squarely in place. Its gross profit of $78.7 billion is almost five times the size of its nearest competitors, and its 8.62% revenue growth more than doubles the sector average of 4.25%.
Additionally, AMZN excels in other business markets. Its cloud computing service, for example, is the largest cloud operation globally, with an approximate 30% market share. In that realm, Amazon Web Services is the crown jewel with revenues of $29.3 billion (up 17%) in the previous quarter and operating income up 22% over the same period.
Tracking a group of 67 analysts shows a $240 target price for AMZN, with a high ceiling of $305.00 per share. The low target price is $195 per share, not far off Amazon's current $200 share price.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One Note of Caution</h2>
While it appears inflation is in check, for now at least, investors should keep a close eye on key metrics like the US Consumer Price Index, the Producer Price Index and the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, all of which closely track consumer and business pricing trends.
"Although inflation has eased from its previous highs, the Federal Reserve is being careful about cutting rates," said John Murillo, chief dealing officer of B2BROKER, a global fintech solutions provider for financial institutions. "Just earlier this month, they decided to keep rates steady, which left some investors feeling let down as they were hoping for a decrease."
Murillo says the Fed has a valid reason to be cautious, as the decline in oil prices created the main disinflationary impact year-to-date. "This decline, although helpful for the U.S. economy in general, is very detrimental for low-margin oil producers — like Occidental Petroleum, Marathon Oil, Valero Energy, and other alternative oil names," he noted. "Even now, crude prices have rebounded around 9% since May 5, giving these companies a chance to recover their losses."
If the next reading of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) comes in higher than expected, that may cause the Fed to think twice about cutting interest rates. "Since crude oil is already bottoming out, a higher CPI number could push back any potential rate cuts, as policymakers need to determine if inflation is under control," Murillo added.

BofA Securities analyst Robert F. Ohmes reiterated the Buy rating on Dollar General Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DG/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $100 to $115.</a>
On June 3, the company plans to release its financial results for the fiscal 2025 first quarter, which ended May 2.
Ohmes projects Dollar General will report first-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.40, with comparable sales rising 1%.
The analyst points out that real-time sales data showed an acceleration in the quarter, contrasting with the flat trends implied by current estimates and suggesting potential upside for Q1.

That said, Ohmes anticipates profit gains from reduced shrink will likely be offset in the near term by pressures tied to store remodel activity and labor costs, particularly as many stores still relied on self-checkouts last year and approximately $20 million in expenses related to store closures.
However, Ohmes sees margin performance improving progressively over the year.
In addition, the analyst sees growing benefits from trade-in programs that will help support comparable sales and cushion fluctuations in spending among core customers.
While Dollar General management acknowledged that trade-in adoption was limited through the end of the third quarter and only began to scale more meaningfully in the fourth, Ohmes sees the trend gaining traction.
Although some may point to stronger comp performance from Walmart as a concern, Dollar General's significant price gaps over competitors, momentum in digital expansion, including first-party offerings and partnerships such as DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>), as well as ongoing store closures at rivals such as Family Dollar, CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance could serve as supportive tailwinds, the analyst writes.
DG Price Action: Dollar General shares are trading higher by 1.25% to $101.90&nbsp;at publication on Friday.

Dollar General Set For Q1: Analyst Sees Trade-In Momentum, Margin Recovery, Strong Price Gaps Over Rivals

Costco co-founder Jim Sinegal still visits the company's Issaquah, Washington, headquarters every Tuesday just because he enjoys it.&nbsp;
&#8220;Nobody is holding a gun to my head,&#8221; Sinegal said during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWXKhylCQAE">2016 speech at Loyola Marymount University</a>, highlighting his voluntary commitment to the company he helped build.
Sinegal may have stepped down as CEO in 2012, but he&#8217;s far from done. And he's not alone. A growing number of older Americans are rethinking retirement, blending passion with purpose well past traditional working years.

In an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/how-costcos-co-founder-built-the-400-billion-retailer-behind-kirkland-d25e27c7">interview</a> with The Wall Street Journal last month, Sinegal said his drive comes from his early mentor, Sol Price, the retail visionary behind FedMart. Sinegal started bagging groceries at 18 and went on to co-found Costco with Jeff Brotman in 1983. More than 40 years later, he's still walking the aisles—and loving it.
"I think to be successful, you've got to be pretty focused," he said. His personal rule of thumb? "Worry about your livelihood, your health, and your family. Anything else is a bonus."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Costco's Still Crushing It at the Register</h2>
Costco is keeping up the momentum. For its <a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/287523651/files/doc_news/Costco-Wholesale-Corporation-Reports-Second-Quarter-and-Year-To-Date-Operating-Results-For-Fiscal-2025-and-February-Sales-Results-2025.pdf">Q2 2025</a>, which ended on Feb. 16, the company reported $62.53 billion in net sales, a 6% increase compared to the same period last year.
CFO <a href="https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2024/03/07/costco-wholesale-cost-q2-2024-earnings-call-transc/">Gary Millerchip said on an earnings call </a>that Costco&#8217;s U.S. and Canada membership renewal rate stood at 93%, with a global rate of 90.5%. He highlighted significant growth in digital initiatives, noting that e-commerce sales saw double-digit increases in categories like home furnishings and sporting goods.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Rise of the Encore Career</h2>
Costco isn't the only place where seniors are clocking in. According to the<a href="https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cpseea13.htm"> U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>, the labor-force participation rate for Americans ages 65 and older reached 19% in April. Among those 75 and older, it's now over 8%, the highest ever recorded.
That trend isn't just economic. Retirees were more likely to show signs of depression than those who continued working, even part-time, <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/196f4eda-d04a-41ad-8759-3db68778e66b">according to a long-term study</a> cited by The Times of London.&nbsp;
The research, as reported by The Times, tracked 27,500 Americans over the age of 50 for an average of 14 years. Those who had retired reported more frequent feelings of sadness and a sense that "everything is an effort," suggesting that continued engagement in work may help support mental well-being.

<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/it-takes-hard-work-to-retire-successfully-8f24ef3b">According to MarketWatch</a>, retired Harvard Business School professor Teresa Amabile spent a decade studying how people transition into retirement. In her book, "Retiring: Creating a Life That Works for You," she outlines four key stages: deciding when to retire, detaching from work, exploring new roles, and forming a fulfilling new routine. Skipping these steps can leave retirees feeling adrift.&nbsp;
Amabile emphasizes that retirement isn't just about finances—it's about finding purpose through meaningful activities like mentoring, volunteering, or staying engaged, much like Costco's Sinegal.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is continuing its run, with analysts now eyeing the $115,000–$120,000 range as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">next logical targets.</a>
What Happened: Crypto analyst ElonMoney <a href="https://x.com/0xelonmoney/status/1925817857415274793">attributes</a> the rally to over $3.3 billion in spot Bitcoin ETF inflows, led by (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>), (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#NASDAQ">FBTC</a>) and (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#OTC">ARKB</a>). Notably, $934 million flowed in on May 22 alone.
The Coinbase Premium Index, a metric showing U.S. investor demand, remains firmly positive, further confirming strong institutional appetite. 
Technically, BTC is trading above key moving averages with a new value area high at $110,200 and support solidified near $107,500.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45586387/bitcoins-golden-cross-is-imminent-strong-rally-or-2021-style-sell-off-next">Bitcoin&#8217;s Golden Cross Is Imminent: Strong Rally Or 2021-Style Sell-Off Next?</a>
What's Next: According to ElonMoney, Bitcoin staying above the $107,500–$110,000 range opens the door to $112,000, $115,000, and potentially $118,000–$120,000 in the short term. 
But if BTC breaks below $107,500, expect a retest of $105,000, a level seen as the next major support zone.
"As long as ETF inflows remain strong and the Coinbase premium holds, BTC has both technical and demand-driven support," ElonMoney noted.
In a follow-up <a href="https://x.com/0xelonmoney/status/1925573152022700211">post</a> on May 22, he added that Bitcoin is still far from its cycle top, citing the MVRV-Z score, currently under 3. 
Cycle tops tend to occur when the score reaches 6–7 meaning levels near $130,000 remain well within reach.
Conclusion: Bitcoin's recent bounce isn't just technical; it's backed by real capital flow from institutions. If the momentum holds, this rally could still have legs, with $120,000 in sight and $130,000 possible later in the cycle.

Wall Street stumbled midday Friday, shaken by a fresh wave of trade war fears after President Donald Trump proposed aggressive new tariffs on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45585283/trump-tariff-threat-hits-europe-stocks-sink-as-50-duties-loom">and European imports.</a>
In a post on Truth Social, Trump threatened a 25% import duty on Apple Inc. if the tech giant doesn't repatriate its manufacturing to the United States. He also floated a 50% tariff on goods from the European Union, escalating concerns of a renewed transatlantic trade war.
Shares of Apple Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NYSE">AAPL</a>) dropped 2.6% in response. The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.8% to fall below the key 5,800 mark, on track to close the week lower. 
Growth-oriented sectors like technology and consumer discretionary bore the brunt of the selling, while traditionally defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples remained in the green.
Volatility spiked as investors turned risk-averse. The CBOE Volatility Index, known as the VIX, climbed 8%, reflecting growing market anxiety. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) wasn&#8217;t spared from the risk-off sentiment, shedding over 2% to trade around $108,700. 
Treasury yields edged down to 5.02%, pushing the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) 0.3% higher as investors sought safer assets.
Gold prices surged 2.1% to $3,362 per ounce, boosted by safe-haven demand and a weakening U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar index is down 1.8% this week, on pace to break a four-week winning streak.
