9 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Shares of auto and auto component stocks are trading lower on continued tariff concerns ahead of the China tariff deadline. Auto part tariffs could increase costs for producers and suppliers.

Shares of auto component stocks are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's recent announcement of sweeping tariffs. The White House rebutted reports of a tariff pause and President Trump said the US will impose additional 50% tariffs on China if China does not withdraw its 34% increase. Auto part tariffs could increase costs for producers and suppliers.

On Thursday, Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach discussed the impact of the U.S. reciprocal tariffs on retail companies.
On April 2, President Trump announced reciprocal tariffs, including a 10% hike on all countries except Mexico and Canada, with higher rates for select nations with trade deficits.
The most significant retail impact is expected from increased tariffs on major sourcing partners like Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Cambodia, said the analyst.
The U.S. is significantly raising tariffs on imports, with China&#8217;s tariff rate increasing to 54% (up from 20%). Other key sourcing countries like Vietnam (46%), Indonesia (32%), Bangladesh (37%), Cambodia (49%), and India (27%) will also see tariff hikes, while EU imports face a 20% tariff.
Canada and Mexico remain exempt under USMCA, though non-USMCA compliant goods will be taxed at 12%. Overall, apparel and footwear tariffs are estimated to rise to an average of 38%, noted the analyst.
Additionally, the de minimis duty-free exemption for packages under $800 from China and Hong Kong will end on May 1, 2025.
These shipments will face a 30% tariff or $25 per item, increasing to $50 per item after June 1, 2025. The Secretary of Commerce will review within 90 days whether to expand this policy to Macau.
The newly announced tariffs will pressure brands and retailers, forcing them to adjust pricing, negotiate with vendors, and optimize costs to protect margins.

While most companies will be affected, some are less exposed, including brands with lower U.S. sales exposure like Amer Sports Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AS#NYSE">AS</a>), Canada Goose Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOS#NYSE">GOOS</a>) and PVH Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>). Retailers with indirect sourcing, such as department stores and off-price retailers, could benefit from supply chain disruptions.
Companies that do not source their product from international markets or source from exempt regions, such as Savers Value Village Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SVV#NYSE">SVV</a>) with thrift business model and Kontoor Brands Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTB#NYSE">KTB</a>) reliance on Mexico, though it also sources from Bangladesh, are less exposed.
The analyst notes that brands with momentum and strong consumer engagement are likely to have more substantial relative pricing power in the marketplace overall.
The analyst noted higher exposure to incrementally new tariffs from Vietnam and Cambodia-exposed businesses include sportswear like Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>), Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) and general apparel like Torrid Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURV#NYSE">CURV</a>), Figs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIGS#NYSE">FIGS</a>), Victoria&#8217;s Secret &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSCO#NYSE">VSCO</a>), and Gap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAP#NYSE">GAP</a>).
The Home Furnishings industry with companies like RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) and Williams-Sonoma Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) faces the greatest risk from tariffs due to its high exposure to China and Vietnam and the discretionary nature of its products.
RH sources 72% of its products from Asia, including 23% from China and 35% from Vietnam, while WSM has 23% China and 14% Vietnam exposure.
Retailers Five Below Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIVE#NASDAQ">FIVE</a>) and Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) are also vulnerable, with 60% of their products sourced from China. While Vietnam exposure remains unclear for most industries, home furnishing companies have the highest risk, said the analyst.
On the other hand, Auto Parts companies like Advance Auto Parts Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>), AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and O&#8217;Reilly Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) and Home Improvement retailers like Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe&#8217;s Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) are better positioned, as they can pass increased costs.
Similarly, retailers that sell food like Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), BJ&#8217;s Wholesale Club Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BJ#NYSE">BJ</a>), and Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) are relatively insulated.
Companies with minimal reliance on China, such as Ulta Beauty Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) and Bath &amp; Body Works Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>), are also well-positioned against these tariffs.

Goldman Sachs Warns Tariffs Will Hit Apparel And Home Furnishings Hardest, Highlights Most Exposed Stocks

Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane on Tuesday highlighted concerns over market volatility, declining consumer activity, and ongoing economic uncertainty within the auto parts retail sector, which are influencing th<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets" rel="noreferrer noopener">e overall outlook on a few major players in the niche industry.</a>
As a result, the analyst adjusted ratings for Genuine Parts Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPC#NYSE">GPC</a>) and AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>).
Here are the key takeaways from the analyst:
Genuine Parts: McShane downgraded the stock from Neutral to Sell, lowering <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GPC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the price forecast from $133 to $114.</a>
The analyst writes that Genuine Parts is less well-positioned in the current market environment compared to peers like O&#8217;Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) and AutoZone, mainly due to recent underperformance at its NAPA business, slowing trends in its European Automotive segment, and potential risks from its Industrial division in the face of an uncertain macro environment.
While Genuine Parts&#8217; guidance for FY25 suggests a stronger second half of the year, the analyst views this recovery as dependent on steady improvements in end-market demand, which may face downside risks, particularly if current trends continue to underperform management&#8217;s expectations.
The analyst observes that comparable trends at Genuine Parts&#8217; European Automotive business have weakened over the past year, with the potential for continued softness in the near term, raising concerns about the company&#8217;s performance in that segment going forward.
The analyst has revised the FY25 EPS estimate to $7.82, down from $7.94, reflecting a more cautious outlook for the second half of the year in terms of both sales and margins.
Additionally, the FY26 and FY27 EPS estimates have been lowered to $8.60 (from $9.09) and $9.55 (from $10.06), indicating ongoing concerns about future performance.
GPC shares are trading lower by 0.81% to $118.18 at last check Tuesday.

AutoZone: McShane upgraded AutoZone from Sell to Neutral, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AZO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $3,044 to $3,811.</a>
The analyst has upgraded the stock, citing the company&#8217;s defensively positioned business, which appears increasingly attractive in the current macroeconomic environment.
Per McShane, key factors include improvements in AutoZone&#8217;s &#8220;do it for me,&#8221; or DIFM business, a recovery in DIY trends, and the auto parts industry&#8217;s strong pricing power, which should help offset any potential tariff impacts.
Since being added to the Americas Sell list on October 14, 2024, AutoZone&#8217;s shares have risen 19.6%, outperforming the S&amp;P 500, which declined by 4.8%.
The analyst acknowledges that trends in AutoZone&#8217;s domestic business have improved, contrary to their previous view, with the company gaining market share and seeing resilient demand, particularly from its DIY customer base.
Meanwhile, the analyst also notes that AutoZone&#8217;s current valuation, based on its NTM EV/EBITDA, is above historical levels, indicating that investors are placing greater value on the company&#8217;s defensive positioning amid current market uncertainty.
The analyst has increased the FY25 EPS estimate to $148.36, up from $146.65, driven by slightly stronger domestic same-store sales growth and revised tax rate assumptions.
AZO shares are trading lower by 0.03% to $3,811.74 at last check Tuesday.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/s-p-500">S&amp;P 500 had</a> a rough start to 2025, sinking 6.53% over the first quarter, but not every sector suffered the same fate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
With the second quarter underway, investors will be watching if Energy can keep its momentum or if beaten-down sectors like Tech and Consumer Discretionary stage a comeback. 
For now, it&#8217;s clear: Energy stocks ruled the first quarter, while Tech and Discretionary stocks got left in the dust.

Coca‑Cola has managed to stand out even as major indexes have been slipping and market volatility has increased. According to <a href="https://www.alphaspread.com/comparison/nyse/ko/vs/indx/gspc">Alpha Spread</a>, over the past 12 months, Coca-Cola has outperformed the S&amp;P 500, delivering a 19% return compared to the index&#8217;s 9% growth. This strong performance highlights Coca-Cola&#8217;s resilience and continued investor confidence.
The stock's weekly performance has placed it solidly in a buy zone, with critical entry levels around $71.77 and 72.65. Coca‑Cola's momentum has been strong since late January, and recent <a href="https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_2e64352bb48bdc5f4b77d6dc46c09d7e/cocacolacompany/db/734/8176/earnings_release/2024+Q4+Earnings+Release+%28Ex-99.1%29+-+Final.pdf">fourth‑quarter earnings estimates </a>exceeded expectations, according to <a href="https://www.fool.com/data-news/2025/02/11/coca-cola-tops-q4-estimates-demand-up/">The Motley Fool</a>.
Forecasts indicate earnings could grow by 3% to 4% in 2025. Notably, <a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/food-beverage-tobacco/nyse-ko/coca-cola/news/the-coca-cola-company-nyseko-is-favoured-by-institutional-ow-2">Simply Wall Street</a> reports institutional investors hold approximately 65% of Coca-Cola&#8217;s shares, highlighting strong confidence from major investment firms. A steady dividend yield of 2.8% only adds to the stock's appeal.

O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) is also turning heads. As consumers increasingly choose to maintain and repair their current vehicles over buying new ones in uncertain times, demand for auto parts has remained steady. Its share price has been creeping above a flat‑base buy zone, even hitting levels of $1,348.16.&nbsp;
Despite some fluctuations following a <a href="https://corporate.oreillyauto.com/2025/02/05/oreilly-automotive-inc-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results-3/">mixed fourth‑quarter report</a> in February, the stock has accumulated over a 13% gain year‑to‑date, as reported by <a href="https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/ORLY/oreilly-automotive/stock-price-history">Macrotrends</a>.&nbsp;
The company's fundamentals—reflected in an earnings stability factor of 7, an accumulation/distribution rating of B–, and a 1.2 up/down volume ratio—indicate a solid position. Recent data from <a href="https://www.investors.com/ibd-data-stories/oreilly-automotive-joins-rank-of-stocks-with-rs-ratings-over-90/">Investors Business Daily</a> shows that its relative strength rating has risen into the 90s, reinforcing its defensive status.

In the midst of this shift, big money managers scoop up shares, reinforcing a trend toward safer investments. Data from<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/active-mutual-funds-struggle-to-beat-large-cap-stock-benchmarks-again-ba4a2f6d"> MarketWatch</a> reveal that just 36% of actively managed U.S. large‑cap mutual funds outperformed their benchmarks in 2024. This underperformance has nudged managers to lean into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43466203/warren-buffetts-127-billion-stock-sell-off-sends-wall-street-a-stark-warning-for-2025-below-average-returns-ahead">stocks</a> that promise steady returns.
Not everyone sees the picture the same way. Some market strategists<a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/investor-sentiment-outlook-aaii-survey-725a24bb"> </a>believe that high‑quality growth stocks still carry long‑term potential if market sentiment shifts. According to <a href="https://washingtoncrossingadvisors.com/why-market-stress-favors-quality-the-macroeconomic-case-for-quality-investing/">Washington Crossing Advisors</a>, high-quality companies generally fare better in a difficult economic environment because they possess good balance sheets and sound earnings.

O'Reilly Automotive's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

O'Reilly Automotive's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NYSE">ORLY</a>) short percent of float has risen 14.86% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 974 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.7% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>O'Reilly Automotive Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740073522_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for O'Reilly Automotive has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing O'Reilly Automotive's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, O'Reilly Automotive's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.34%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
