French satellite operator Eutelsat Communications S.A. has risen over 630% since Monday, following President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement of a freeze in Ukraine&#8217;s military aid.
What Happened: Eutelsat&#8217;s surge comes as the French company is in talks with the European Union to replace SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink satellite service in Ukraine, according to <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/eutelsat-in-talks-with-eu-to-replace-starlink-in-ukraine-93CH-4705787">a</a> report by Investing.com.
CEO Eva Berneke told Bloomberg TV on Thursday that the company was looking into the requests of replacing several Starlink terminals in Ukraine. While the company already has a presence in Ukraine, Berneke said that it would take a few months to replace around 40,000 Starlink terminals.
Elon Musk owned SpaceX makes Starlink, which is a satellite internet service that delivers high-speed, low-latency broadband globally, especially to remote areas underserved by traditional internet providers.
President Trump on Monday temporarily suspended U.S. military aid to Ukraine to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into peace negotiations with Russia. According to the White House, the freeze will remain in place until Trump determines that Ukraine has made a meaningful effort toward diplomatic talks with Moscow.

Why It Matters: Eutelsat&#8217;s shares have surged 631.1% from €1.19 or $1.29 on Friday, Feb. 28, to €8.7 or $9.40 intraday on Thursday.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged a £2.26 billion loan for military supplies. Meanwhile, Germany&#8217;s prospective coalition government is planning to create a €500 billion or $540.532 billion infrastructure fund to modernize the military and boost economic growth, reported Reuters.

Anatoly Yakovenko, the co-founder of the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) ecosystem, argued against a federal government-controlled cryptocurrency reserve Wednesday, citing a threat to decentralization.
What Happened: In an X post, Yakovenko outlined his order of preference for a potential cryptocurrency reserve.
&#8220;No reserve, because if you&nbsp;want decentralization to fail, you'd&nbsp;put the government in charge&nbsp;of it,&#8221; he stated as his first and the most ideal choice.
However, if reserves must be set up, Yakovenko said they should be managed by states as a &#8220;hedge&#8221; against the Federal Reserve making a mistake.
In the case of a federally administered reserve, Yakovenko proposed basing it on &#8220;objectively measurable requirements.&#8221; 
&#8220;I don't care what they are, they can even be constructed such that only Bitcoin satisfies them right now, they just must be objectively measurable and rationally justified,&#8221; he explained his point.

When questioned if this was an indirect confirmation that no one from Solana pitched SOL for inclusion in the recently announced U.S. cryptocurrency reserve, Yakovenko stated, &#8220;No one asked me, and I didn&#8217;t pitch it.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Yakovenko&#8217;s comments come in the wake of the surprise announcement of a strategic reserve comprising of top coins such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and SOL. 
The idea of including coins other than Bitcoin has sparked criticism from certain quarters, including some of President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44107003/trump-faces-backlash-over-crypto-reserve-plan-from-bitcoin-supporters-including-his-own-dont-think-the-government-should-be-pumping-our-crypto-bags-with-taxpayer-money">supporters</a>. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong also <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44070857/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-thinks-having-a-bitcoin-only-crypto-reserve-best-option-while-arthur-hayes">stated </a>that having just Bitcoin in the reserve would be the &#8220;best option.&#8221;
That said, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44143660/howard-lutnick-says-president-definitely-thinks-theres-a-bitcoin-strategic-reserve">hinted </a>that Bitcoin might be granted a special status in the proposed reserve, while other tokens would be treated differently but positively.

<ul>
<li>South Bow has reduced its outlook for normalized EBITDA for its Marketing segment by approximately $30 million relative to 2024, due to continued impacts of WCSB crude oil pipeline capacity exceeding supply and South Bow's response to market uncertainty caused by the potential for, and continuation of, tariffs, including the unwinding of certain positions to minimize South Bow's exposure to further pricing volatility.</li>
<li>South Bow anticipates that its interest expense for 2025 will be approximately $325 million, within a range of 2%, and that the Company's current tax rate will range from 23% to 24%.</li>
<li>Distributable cash flow is expected to be approximately $535 million, within a range of 3%, which South Bow will use to fund its expected annual dividend of $416 million ($2.00/share), subject to approval and declaration by the Board, and investments required to continue advancing the Blackrod Connection Project.</li>
<li>South Bow expects that its net debt-to-normalized EBITDA ratio will increase modestly through the course of 2025 as the Company continues to invest in the Blackrod Connection Project and incur one-time costs of approximately $40 million to $50 million associated with the Spinoff. Consistent with the Company's outlook on leverage, South Bow anticipates exiting 2025 with a net debt-to-normalized EBITDA ratio of approximately 4.8 times and that the Company will begin reducing its leverage once the Blackrod Connection Project starts generating cash flow in 2026.</li>
<li>South Bow plans to invest approximately $110 million, within a range of 3%, in growth capital expenditures for the Blackrod Connection Project in 2025. The total expected capital cost of the project is estimated to be $180 million, targeted to be ready for in-service in early 2026. As of Dec. 31, 2024, South Bow has invested $62 million in the project.</li>
<li>Maintenance capital expenditures are estimated to be approximately $65 million, within a range of 3%, in 2025, as South Bow proactively completes maintenance activities while demand for uncommitted capacity is expected to be subdued, and invests in information services infrastructure. These expenditures are generally recoverable through South Bow's tolling arrangements.</li>

David Kostin, the Chief U.S. Equity Strategist of Goldman Sachs, has revised his earnings growth forecast, citing a weaker economic outlook, and highlighted a shift in market trends.
What Happened: On CNBC&#8217;s &#8216;Squawk on the Street&#8217;, Kostin discussed his revised earnings growth forecast and market trends. Initially projected at 11%, the earnings growth forecast for 2025 has now been adjusted to 9%. 
Despite this, Kostin maintains that the earnings growth for 2026 remains at 7%, unchanged. He also stated that the S&amp;P 500 year-end target remains at 6500, suggesting an 11% gain from current levels.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

</div>
</figure>
Kostin also noted a shift in investment strategy, with investors moving from &#8220;excitement&#8221; (cyclicals) to &#8220;boredom&#8221;&nbsp;(defensive stocks) amid tariff&nbsp;uncertainties. He identified healthcare and consumer staples as preferred sectors for their stability and less sensitivity to the ongoing trade war. He also named&nbsp;Thermo Fisher (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>) and Agilent Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/A#NYSE">A</a>) as strong investment options. 
Furthermore, he notes a shift in focus from AI infrastructure and hyperscalers to software companies that would be leveraging AI to amplify their revenues, for instance, MongoDB (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDB#NASDAQ">MDB</a>). 
According to Kostin, uncertainty around tariffs makes forecasting difficult, but models suggest&nbsp;earnings will be impacted through unit volumes and margins. The strategist estimated that a 5% increase in tariffs&nbsp;could reduce earnings growth by&nbsp;1-2%.

Why It Matters: This shift in investment strategy is noteworthy, considering that institutional investors were bullish on technology and financials during the fourth quarter of 2024. Investors were seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43878703/institutional-investors-load-up-on-technology-and-financial-stocks-in-q4-while-reducing-positions-in-healthcare-sector-amid-political-uncertainty">pulling back</a> from the healthcare sector, which Kostin now identifies as a preferred sector. Even Warren Buffet&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway trimmed its stake in healthcare provider DaVita Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVA#NYSE">DVA</a>), bringing down the ownership to 45%.
These market shifts and Kostin&#8217;s revised forecast underline the uncertainties in the current economic climate but also highlight potential&nbsp;opportunities in defensive sectors and&nbsp;AI-driven businesses. That being said, Kostin expects the falling bond yields to offset some tariff effects, potentially benefiting the economy. He summed up by saying that GDP growth is the primary driver of earnings, with interest rates and inflation playing secondary roles.
The S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) climbed 1.12% to close at 5,842.63 on Wednesday after President Donald Trump pushed back auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico by one month.
