Newmont Appoints Natascha Viljoen To President and Chief Operating Officer

Canaccord Genuity analyst Joseph Vafi reiterated the Buy rating on MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) on Friday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSTR/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $409 to $464.</a>
This week, the company reported first-quarter revenue of $111.07 million, falling slightly below analyst expectations, while posting a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45172170/whats-going-on-with-microstrategy-shares" rel="noreferrer noopener">significant adjusted loss of $16.53 per share.</a>
Despite this, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings, now totaling 553,555 BTC, have helped reinforce investor confidence. Year-to-date, the firm has acquired over 15,000 Bitcoin at an average price of $92,737, funded primarily through its ongoing stock offerings.

Vafi noted that MicroStrategy has been the top-performing S&amp;P 500 stock in recent years and continues to aggressively pursue its Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy.
In Q1, the company raised funds through two successful preferred stock IPOs and a $2 billion zero-coupon convertible note with a 35% premium, enabling it to purchase an additional 106,000 bitcoins for around $9.9 billion year-to-date, the analyst said.
Vafi noted that despite a challenging Q1 for risk equities, MicroStrategy's equity premium saw a modest rise, which is significant.
The analyst also observed that Bitcoin has started to behave independently from traditional risk assets like growth stocks.
The analyst pointed out that the regulatory environment for digital assets appears to be becoming more favorable heading into late 2025 and early 2026.
While macroeconomic uncertainty remains, the outlook for Bitcoin and digital assets is improving, supported by the potential for clearer U.S. regulation.
The analyst also pointed out that more global companies are adopting MicroStrategy's Bitcoin strategy, which the firm views positively.
Price Action: MSTR shares are trading higher by 3.09% to $393.02 at last check Friday.

Analyst Says MicroStrategy Inc.'s Bold Bitcoin Strategy Still Has Room To Run

In a move that critics say could damage the future of American clean energy, Elon Musk is reportedly overseeing the dismantling of the Department of Energy&#8217;s Loan Programs Office—the very agency that helped launch Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) to the level where it is now with a $465 million loan back in 2010.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Loan That Helped Spark Tesla&#8217;s Rise</h2>
Fifteen years ago, Musk&#8217;s electric vehicle startup was far from the powerhouse it is today. With little private financing available, Tesla turned to the federal government. The Department of Energy issued the loan to help Tesla secure a factory in Fremont, California and start producing the Model S.

At the time, Musk <a href="https://x.com/ThomasSowell/status/1907788632267645294">said</a>, &#8220;Since we had the ability to do it and the stock markets were good, let&#8217;s pay it back with interest and a thank you note, by the way. I said, &#8216;really appreciate it. Thank you.'&#8221; In a public statement, Musk added, &#8220;I hope we did you proud.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Musk&#8217;s Government Cuts Now Target The LPO</h2>
Fast-forward to 2025: Musk, as a leader in President Donald Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency, is presiding over sweeping cuts to the Department of Energy. <a href="https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end-of-doe-as-we-know-it/">Latitude Media</a> reports that more than 1,200 DOE employees have already accepted deferred resignation offers.&nbsp;
Staff describe the environment as &#8220;demoralizing&#8221; and &#8220;a hostile takeover,&#8221; with an internal motto to &#8220;keep cutting &#8217;til the screaming starts.&#8221;
Trending: Donald Trump Just Announced a $500 Billion AI Infrastructure Deal — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/seize-a-share-while-you-still-can-in-the-2-trillion-entertainment-market-with-elf-labs-at-just-2-25-share">Here's How You Can Invest in the Entertainment Market's Next Big Disruptor for Just $998</a>
The LPO, which had flourished under previous administrations by backing high-risk, high-reward energy projects, has been especially hard hit. Around half its federal workforce has reportedly resigned. Major loan recipients like Kore Power and Aspen Aerogels (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASPN#NYSE">ASPN</a>) have scrapped plans for new battery and manufacturing plants, citing frozen loans and uncertain support, according to Latitude Media.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Billions In Government Support Over Two Decades</h2>
While Musk has become a vocal critic of federal subsidies, his companies have significantly benefited from government funding. A <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2025/elon-musk-business-government-contracts-funding/">Washington Post</a> analysis found that Tesla, SpaceX, and Musk&#8217;s other ventures have received at least <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44079465/report-says-elon-musks-businesses-have-been-awarded-38-billion-in-government-contracts-since-2003-heres-what-taxpayers-are-funding">$38 billion in government contracts</a>, subsidies, loans, and tax credits since 2003.
Much of that funding came recently, with $6.3 billion awarded in 2024 alone. SpaceX received early support from NASA and the Department of Defense, and Tesla's profitability was heavily boosted by selling regulatory credits, without which Tesla would have reported a $700 million loss in 2020 instead of an $862 million profit, according to the Washington Post&#8217;s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2025/elon-musk-business-government-contracts-funding/">analysis</a> of Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Future of DOE&#8217;s Clean Energy Efforts Looks Grim</h2>
With the LPO in disarray and further cuts looming across offices like the Grid Deployment Office and the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, the DOE&#8217;s ability to support renewable energy and innovative technology projects is now uncertain.
&#8220;Our fear is they will just shut things down because…there are no bodies to manage this,&#8221; one DOE employee told Latitude Media. Even projects with bipartisan support could falter without enough staff to administer them.
Musk&#8217;s pivot—from an entrepreneur who once thanked taxpayers for their support to a government official slashing the very programs that helped him—has left many industry insiders stunned.

'Keep Cutting 'Til The Screaming Starts'—Elon Musk Reportedly Shutting Down The Government Loan Office That Helped Tesla With $465 Million

A couple from Columbus, Ohio, recently took to Reddit's <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/budget/comments/1joyzn0/spending_1541_eating_out_and_956_for_groceries_a/">r/budget</a> after realizing they spent a jaw-dropping $1,541 eating out and $956 on groceries in a single month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shock Over Spending Habits</h2>
&#8220;Guys&#8230; I checked my <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42880871/a-couple-asks-can-you-get-away-with-spending-only-300-per-month-on-groceries-heres-what-people-said-most-agreed-on-this-one-thing">monthly food spending</a> for March and I&#8217;m freaking out,&#8221; the person wrote. They explained that even after subtracting $180 for household items from their grocery bill, they still spent $776 just on food.

</ul>
While the couple said they cook about 60% of their meals, it's clear that fast-casual stops like Chick-fil-A and Chipotle, where meals cost about $15 per person, added up quickly. &#8220;I have the impression that we cook at least half our meals,&#8221; they wrote, wondering if their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44066359/someone-asked-for-small-money-saving-habits-that-made-a-big-difference-and-the-responses-poured-">spending habits were out of line</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Big Question: Is This Normal?</h2>
The overwhelming consensus is that &#8220;normal&#8221; isn&#8217;t the point; affordability is. As one user put it, &#8220;&#8216;Normal&#8217; is kind of a useless metric here. The question is, can you afford what you're doing?&#8221;
Many commenters shared their own numbers for comparison. Most two-person households reported spending around $400 to $800 a month on groceries and another $200 to $500 on dining out. Even in high-cost cities like New York and Los Angeles, people said they kept their restaurant spending much lower than $1,500.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Some pointed out that fast food is no longer cheap. &#8220;Chick-fil-A and Chipotle are not inexpensive. Fast food is very expensive,&#8221; one commenter said. Others suggested that part of the problem could be food waste. Buying groceries but eating out often can result in spoiled food and wasted money.
Health concerns also came up. &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44068272/a-childless-couple-spent-almost-12k-on-dining-out-in-2024-now-they-feel-like-failures-and-ask-ho">Eating out every day</a> at chains will get you heart disease if not many, many other problems by age 50 or 55,&#8221; one user warned. Another advised, &#8220;Go out 1-2 [times] a week for fresh, healthy food and spend as much as you fancy and really enjoy it.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Solutions: Cut Back Without Cutting Fun</h2>
Several commenters encouraged the couple to set precise budgets and a meal plan to avoid last-minute fast-food runs. &#8220;Food expenses will expand to fill all available space. If you don&#8217;t keep them in check, they will wreak havoc,&#8221; one user said.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
Others recommended making simple swaps like frozen meals or easy-prep options for nights when cooking feels like too much work. &#8220;Sometimes I just have girl dinner—snacky foods like cheese and crackers, cereal, pickles,&#8221; one commenter shared.
In the end, users agreed that if the couple can afford their current lifestyle while saving for their goals, it may not be an urgent issue. But many suggested that cutting back could free up money for better things, like vacations, retirement, or simply peace of mind.
&#8220;Imagine how much you can save for a vacation each month if you change your eating habits,&#8221; one Redditor pointed out.

'We're Spending $1,541 Eating Out And $956 On Groceries A Month,' Says One Couple. Now They're Wondering, Is That Normal?

Needham analyst John Todaro reiterated the Buy rating on Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) on Friday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RIOT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowering the price forecast from $13.50 to $12.</a>
On Thursday, the company reported first quarter results, in which total revenue was up from $79.3 million in the prior year's quarter, primarily driven by a $71.5 million increase in&nbsp;Bitcoin&nbsp;mining revenue.
The Bitcoin miner produced 1,530 Bitcoin in the first quarter, up from 1,364 in the first quarter of 2024. Riot's average cost to mine totaled $43,808 in the quarter.&nbsp;
The analyst remains bullish on Riot Platforms for four main reasons.
First, the company has upcoming high-performance computing (HPC) opportunities in 2026 with 600MW of potential capacity at its Corsicana site.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/05/45147802/riot-vs-microstrategy-strategy-vs-block-one-bull-one-bear-one-in-the-balance-ahead-of-q1-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Riot Vs. MicroStrategy (Strategy) Vs. Block: One Bull, One Bear, One In The Balance Ahead Of Q1 Earnings</a>
Second, Riot is a low-cost Bitcoin producer, with power costs below four cents per kilowatt-hour.
Third, it maintains a clean balance sheet with no corporate debt and holds one of the largest cash and Bitcoin positions among publicly traded mining firms.
Lastly, the stock currently trades at a discount to peers, but the analyst expects this to change as HPC becomes a more significant growth driver.
Despite this optimism, the analyst lowered the price forecast, based on 13x the firm's 2026 estimated EV/EBITDA.
According to Todaro, Riot's SG&amp;A expenses should ease going forward now that its litigation with Rhodium is resolved, which also frees up an additional 125MW of capacity.
While Riot has yet to secure a letter of intent with HPC tenants, the analyst remains optimistic about the potential at its Corsicana site, citing infrastructure upgrades and management's commitment to developing a full-stack, built-to-suit data center.
RIOT Price Action: Riot Platform shares closed Friday up 7.98% at 8.39%.

Riot Platforms Powers Up: Analyst Gives 4 Reasons Why He Is Bullish

Becton Dickinson, and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDX#NYSE">BDX</a>) lowered its fiscal year 2025 guidance and provided an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45128945/bd-reports-second-quarter-fiscal-2025-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimated tariff impact </a>on Thursday.
The medical device company reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.35, up from $3.17 a year ago. It beat the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $3.28</a>.
The company reported first-quarter 2025 sales of $5.27 billion, up 4.5% year-over-year, missing the consensus of $5.35 billion.
Becton Dickinson expects fiscal 2025 revenues of $21.8 billion and $21.9 billion. Its previously issued guidance of $21.7 billion to $21.9 billion reflects updated organic revenue growth guidance of 3.0% to 3.5% and an improvement in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45140102/potential-tariff-bites-into-becton-dickinson-2025-profit-outlook-company-will-invest-2-5-billion-to-boost-us-manufacturing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimated impact of foreign currency</a>.

Goldman Sachs on Friday downgraded Becton Dickinson from Buy to Neutral, revising its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BDX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $256 to $192</a>.
Analyst David Roman says BDX stock has fallen 25% since being added to the Buy list on May 30, 2024, compared to the S&amp;P500&#8217;s 6% and their large-cap MedTech coverage of 5%.
&#8220;We think the underperformance reflects downward revisions in organic growth estimates despite ongoing strong P&amp;L results. Specifically, the forward outlook for organic revenue growth has shifted from ~5-6% two years ago to ~3-4%. This level of organic growth puts BD at the low-end of MedTech,&#8221; Roman added.
Goldman Sachs says because Becton Dickinson has a large share of its market, its growth is closely tied to how fast the overall market is growing. As the market has slowed, so have Becton Dickinson&#8217;s growth targets.
Some of these market challenges may ease over time. But Roman is less confident that Becton will return to steady mid-single-digit organic revenue growth by fiscal year 2026 — a key part of the investment case.
William Blair on Thursday downgraded Becton Dickinson to Market Perform following a disappointing fiscal second-quarter update.
&#8220;We have been wrong with our rating on this stock for several years, holding out hope that shares would see multiple expansion once the business found a new gear that resulted in more predictable revenue growth, margin expansion, and earnings growth,&#8221; analyst Andrew Brackmann writes.
William Blair writes that Becton, at its core, has the makeup to drive mid-single-digit revenue growth over an extended period.
However, that is not the case right now, making the near-term setup challenging— especially as the Bioscience and Diagnostics business is set to be separated but for which those businesses are seeing increased headwinds.
The analyst seeks greater confidence in a reacceleration in organic growth and looks to fiscal 2026 guidance and updates on the Bioscience and Diagnostics separation as key catalysts over the coming months.
Stifel maintains Becton Dickinson with a Buy, lowering the price target from $280 to $224.
Piper Sandler downgrades Becton Dickinson from Overweight to Neutral and lowers the price target from $260 to $185.
Price Action: BDX stock is down 1.36% at $167.24 at the last check Friday.

'Nike, Adidas Call on Trump to Exempt Footwear From Tariffs'- Bloomberg

Donald Trump and the Republicans won control of the presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/24/11/41868686/how-trumps-win-will-change-tax-planning"> the 2024 election.</a> With Republican control, an extension of the 2017 tax bill was expected to be a priority, but it is moving slowly.
What Happened: Many Americans want to know what the impact of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs from President Donald Trump</a> means for their future finances.
Americans should also be bracing for the potential end of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (TCJA), which passed in 2017.
The TCJA expires on Dec. 31, 2025, and without an extension from Congress, it would revert some tax cuts and laws to 2018, as reported by <a href="https://www.kitces.com/blog/tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-tcja-sunset-budget-resolution-reconciliation-salt-cap-qbi-deduction-congress-republication-house-senate-bill/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=Analyzing%20Congressional%20Republicans%20%20Budget%20Proposal%20For%20The%202025%20TCJA%20Extension%20%5BNEV%5D&amp;utm_campaign=NEV%20Wednesday%20Email&amp;vgo_ee=e3zZ%2FKe5aZwXdWyRjOitaVxTcjhkmETgNoT9twI3pWYz%3A9835skIv0piXRPBo79MbCvS%2Fl9xkoTkI">Kitces</a>.  
What this means for the average American is that tax brackets could change, and the Child Tax Credit and other common tax breaks could also go away. These are items currently operated under the TCJA.
More importantly, this would mean a moderate tax increase for most households, according to the report.

<li>Congress Is Making Huge Investments. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent050225">Get Tips On What They Bought And Sold With Our Easy-to-Use Tool</a></li>
</ul>
What's Next: Congress has been making slow progress in the extension of the TCJA, according to the report. The House and Senate also have differing versions when it comes to tax cuts.
The House of Representatives&#8217; version includes $4.5 trillion of tax cuts over the next 10 years. This would mostly cover the $4.6 trillion needed to extend the TCJA, but would leave little room for additional tax cuts.
This means the House would have to change the number of years or make changes to keep all current tax cuts in place and add items Trump campaigned for, such as no taxes on tips.
The Senate's version of tax cuts includes $1.5 trillion in tax cuts done with an accounting tactic that places $0 value on the existing TCJA, according to the report. This means the Senate version would see TCJA rules permanent and add room for additional tax cuts.
Congress still has time to figure things out, but without enacting an extension of the TCJA before the December deadline, things could look much different for Americans in 2026.

Tax Cuts And Jobs Act Could Expire At End Of 2025 Without Congressional Extension: What This Means For You

A leading provider of cloud networking solutions, Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) commands strong relevance. Thanks to its focus on high-speed Ethernet switches and routers designed for data centers, cloud computing environments and enterprise networks, Arista forms the backbone of modern cloud services. Unfortunately, competitive pressures combined with uncertainty over President Donald Trump's trade policies have negatively impacted ANET stock. Recently, though, sentiment across the board is shifting.
Earlier this week, Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/upgrades/25/04/45071063/this-arista-networks-analyst-is-no-longer-bearish-here-are-top-2-upgrades-for-tuesday">upgraded ANET stock</a> to Neutral from Sell, while also raising the price target to $85 from the prior forecast of $55. On the color commentary side, CNBC's Jim Cramer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44976958/jim-cramer-arista-networks-is-down-way-too-much-likes-uber-very-much">pounded the table</a> on ANET last week when the security was trading hands at $70, noting that the stock was "down way too much."
With ANET stock rapidly approaching the $92 level at time of writing, the natural inclination is to believe prospective traders are late to the party. However, data from the smart money suggests otherwise. Earlier today, Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/05/45172353/decoding-arista-networkss-options-activity-whats-the-big-picture">options scanner identified unusual activity</a> in the derivatives arena, with a particular focus on bullish sentiment transactions.
Two factors immediately stood out. First, all of the trades identified as bullish were call options, meaning that they represent debit-based transactions. In other words, traders pay a debit under the assumption that a future event will materialize. By logical deduction, the security must rise to meet minimum profitability thresholds.
Second, the debit calls were all sweep transactions. Essentially, sweeps represent the institutional version of the market order, which emphasizes transaction speed over extracting the best (lowest) premium price. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that the smart money was in a hurry to position themselves for additional upside.
In the near term, that moment can arrive next Tuesday after the closing bell when Arista discloses its first-quarter earnings report. Stronger-than-expected results or even an encouraging outlook could potentially send ANET stock northward.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Demand Profile for ANET Stock Incentivizes Speculation</h2>
In the film "Limitless," the plot revolves around a super drug that greatly enhances intelligence — so much so that the main character develops a remarkably accurate and profitable stock forecasting system. To leverage his trading power, though, the protagonist turns to a loan shark for accelerated funds, setting up a central conflict in the narrative.
Of course, the film is preposterous. The loan shark is actually the smart one.
Such shady characters that live on the fringes of organized crime operate by discrete principles: compliance or consequences. That's it. And it's the same principle undergirding market sentiment. At the end of any given period, investors are either a net buyer of a security or they are not.
The fantasy depicted in "Limitless" is that patterns can be deciphered in the scalar continuous signal known as the share price. That would seem to be a practically impossible task. What's much more reasonable is to consider price as defined, discrete events that transition from one state of existence to another.
For example, in the past 20 weeks, ANET stock printed two sets of "4-6" sequences: four weeks of upside interspersed with six weeks of downside, with a negative trajectory across the period. The last time this down-week-dominated trend materialized roughly two years ago, ANET enjoyed an extended bull run.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/02153218/ANET-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-899991" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/02153218/ANET-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/02153218/ANET-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/02153218/ANET-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/02153218/ANET-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Also, it's worth pointing out that historically, the upside probability one week after the 4-6 sequence flashing stands at 68%. This stat suggests that investors tend to buy the dips in ANET stock. Assuming the positive pathway continues to hold, the projected upside target based on historical median trends would be around $97 to $98.
On the other hand, near-term risk exists between $88 to $89 under "normal" circumstances. With earnings next week, traders should be cognizant of the possibility of ugly surprises.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Aggressive Bet for Impatient Traders</h2>
As prior trends suggest, ANET stock could see an early rise as a response to the 4-6 sequence, followed by a possible broad tapering effect in the later weeks. Therefore, traders who believe in the recurrence of behavioral dynamics may consider the 92/95 bull call spread expiring May 23.
This is an aggressive but rational wager based on the potential capabilities of ANET stock, involving the buying of the $92 call and simultaneous selling of the $95 call. Subsequently, the proceeds from the short call partially offset the debit paid for the long call, resulting in a net debit paid of $150. Should ANET rise through $95 at expiration, the maximum reward is also $150.
The beautiful part about this trade is that the security should be able to reach around $97 within the aforementioned time period, thus possibly providing some buffer.

Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) reported strong revenue and user growth in its better-than-expect Q1 report released Thursday. Executives offered more color and insight into future growth on the company's earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45176569/reddits-ad-strategy-is-clicking-say-analystsstrong-q1-sets-stage-for-profitable-growth-in-2025">call with analysts. </a>
Q1 Details: Reddit beat analysts' expectations on the top and bottom lines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/05/45151798/reddit-stock-soars-after-better-than-expected-q1-daily-active-uniques-up-31-ad-revenue-up-61-and-more">with earnings</a> of 13 cents per share and revenue of $392.36 million, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $370.01.

DAUs: The social platform also saw user growth of 31% year-over-year with 108.1 million daily active uniques.&nbsp;
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said on the earnings call that Reddit had 400 million weekly active uniques in Q1, but does expect growth to be "bumpy" in the near term due to changes in Google's search ecosystem. Huffman added that DAU growth for April averaged in the high teens. 
However, the CEO expressed optimism for growth over the longer term.&nbsp;
"We believe we're in great shape over the medium and longer term. Look, ultimately, we drive growth when we make improvements to the product, which is where our focus is. So things like onboarding, search, machine translation, they all drive growth over the long term," Huffman told analysts.&nbsp;
Revenue: Reddit's ad revenue increased 61% year-over-year to $358.6 million, and other revenue increased 66% year-over-year to $33.7 million in the first quarter.&nbsp;
CFO Drew Vollero said on the earnings call that strength in ad impressions was the primary revenue driver, along with growth across various verticals and international markets. 
"Additionally, the increase in ad pricing from our investments in performance and targeting contributed to higher returns for advertisers," Vollero added.&nbsp;
Guidance: The CFO guided second-quarter revenue in the range of $410 million to $430 million, representing growth of&nbsp;46% to 53% year-over-year.&nbsp;
"We are confident in our ability to deliver strong growth in Q2 and beyond, given the positive momentum and investments we're making across product and sales,&#8221; Vollero said.&nbsp;

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Joseph Feldman on Friday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COOK/analyst-ratings">reiterated a Market Perform</a> rating on the shares of Traeger Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COOK#NYSE">COOK</a>) and lowered the price forecast from $2.50 to $2.00.
Traeger&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45149837/traeger-announces-first-quarter-fiscal-2025-results">first-quarter FY25 performance</a> met expectations, with revenues down 1.1%, surpassing the FactSet consensus of -3.0%. 
Adjusted EBITDA of $22.5 million slightly exceeded consensus but was below the company&#8217;s target of $24.0 million. Strong grill sales, up 13%, were driven by product launches like the Woodridge series. 
However, the company faces uncertainty from tariffs under the new Trump administration, as 80% of its grills are sourced from China, which faces a 45% tariff, according to the analyst.
Traeger has withdrawn its 2025 guidance due to uncertainty around tariff impacts.

Traeger faces significant tariff challenges, with a 45% tariff on grills from China and a 25% tariff on grills from Vietnam.
Accessories are subject to a 10% tariff from Taiwan, while the consumables business is not impacted. The company plans to offset these costs through cost-saving measures, sourcing diversification, and strategic price increases. 
The company is actively managing expenses by freezing hiring, deferring non-essential spending, and exploring additional cost-reduction opportunities for the year.
Traeger aims to shift most Chinese manufacturing to other countries by 2026.
Traeger plans to leverage its brand strength, premium positioning, and innovation to maintain pricing power despite inflation, expecting other grill brands to also raise prices.
However, tariffs and macroeconomic challenges are likely to pressure short-term performance, the analyst noted.
Traeger is adopting a cautious inventory strategy amid macroeconomic and tariff uncertainties, reducing purchase orders to align with demand. The company has pre-tariff products in stock, which will help offset cost pressures temporarily. 
For 2025, the analyst has lowered sales forecast to (1.4%) to $596 million from (0.3%) to $605 million previously.
Price Action: COOK shares traded lower by 1.3% at $1.46 on Friday.
