RBC Capital analyst Jon G. Arfstrom maintained an Outperform rating on American Express Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AXP/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $310</a> on Monday.
Last week, American Express reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44862333/american-express-q1-card-spending-strong-ceo-maintains-annual-outlook-contingent-on-economic-climate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal first-quarter 2025</a> results. The company&#8217;s revenue (net of interest expense) increased 7% to $16.97 billion, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $16.94 billion. 
GAAP EPS of $3.64 topped the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of $3.47.&nbsp;The revenue increase was primarily driven by strong Card Member spending, higher net interest income supported by growth in revolving loan balances, and accelerated card fee growth.

American Express&nbsp;reiterated a revenue outlook of&nbsp;$71.22 billion-$72.54 billion (up by 8%-10% Y/Y) versus&nbsp;a&nbsp;consensus of $71.34 billion subject to the macroeconomic environment. It reaffirmed EPS of $15.00–$15.50 versus&nbsp;the&nbsp;consensus of $15.25.
Arfstrom noted the core results as favorable, with core revenue and billing trends mainly showing consistent growth.
Total revenues on a FX adjusted basis increased 8% year over year, or 9% when adjusted for the leap year impacts from the prior year.
Overall, the analyst noted positive management commentary and that billings trends showed consistency throughout the quarter and into early April.
Management noted that most customer types and spending categories are showing stability or modest improvement relative to 2024. Airline spending, however, decelerated.
Overall, Arfstrom appreciated management&#8217;s confidence in the durability of their customer base, spending trends, and revenue outlook.
The analyst also noted that management will continue to invest in the business to achieve longer-term goals, regardless of the potential for slower revenue growth, and will balance the growth and profitability objectives.
The company maintained 2025 EPS guidance of $15.00 to $15.50 and revenue growth for the full year to be in the 8% to 10% range. Arfstrom called that a positive.
Price Action:&nbsp;AXP stock is down 4.11% at $240.93 at the last check on Monday.

As markets nervously lean towards growth and innovation after a defensive stint, Harbor Capital Advisors is capitalizing on the rebound with its latest fund: the Harbor Transformative Technologies ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEC#NYSE">TEC</a>), which debuted on Thursday.
The actively managed fund sets its target on long-term capital appreciation, focusing on companies that are defining the next wave of technological innovation. TEC comes to market at a point when investors are selectively moving into growth tales—particularly those that are underpinned by genuine innovation and sound fundamentals.

Inside TEC
TEC has a net expense ratio of 0.69% and invests in companies that Harbor calls &#8220;transformative technology&#8221; companies. That&#8217;s financial industry jargon for companies working on new ways to do things with AI, biotech, automation and the like—basically, companies that have more patents than paper clips. Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), you name it, the fund portfolio has it. However, none of TEC&#8217;s holdings enjoys more than 4% of its total assets.
The fund seeks to find companies with exceptional growth potential, regardless of their size or location in the U.S. or abroad. As much as 20% of TEC&#8217;s assets may be invested in foreign issuers, expanding its search for innovation around the world.
Why Now?
The fund debuts as market sentiment eases into tech-driven strategies. Despite investors&#8217; caution about volatility, the longer-term picture for tech innovation remains optimistic. TEC is a thematic vehicle for investors who bet that breakthroughs, not balance sheets, might fuel the next bull cycle.
Final Byte
With tech set to lure capital and headlines once again, TEC arrives at a moment when investors are increasingly seeking exposure to companies with genuine, game-changing potential.

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) shares have fallen nearly 25% in 2025 and the stock is taking another blow on Monday after an analyst slashed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44897891/mark-cuban-says-its-a-game-of-chicken-with-china-as-he-questions-trumps-strategy-behind-tariffs-you-cant-be-dogmatic-in-business-or-government"> its price target.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Amazon shares are slipping further Monday after Raymond James analyst Josh Beck downgraded the stock from Strong Buy to Outperform and lowered the price target from $275 to $195, well-below the Street's average of about $255.&nbsp;
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44899617/90-chance-of-recession-due-to-trumps-tariffs-sharp-slowdown-is-coming-economist-says">90% Chance Of Recession Due To Trump&#8217;s Tariffs: &#8216;Sharp Slowdown&#8217; Is Coming, Economist Says</a>
The analyst cited underestimated pressures on Amazon's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for 2025 and 2026, driven by macroeconomic headwinds, tariffs and the need for increased investment.&nbsp;
Tariff Pressures: Raymond James estimated that about 30% of Amazon&#8217;s first-party gross merchandise volume originates from China and roughly 15% of its advertising revenue is tied to China.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The analyst also cited data from MarketplacePulse that estimates between 40% and 60% of Amazon's third-party sellers are located in China, making the company especially vulnerable to President Donald Trump's tariff policies.&nbsp;
BofA Securities analyst Justin Post on Sunday maintained a Buy rating and $225 price target, but also noted increased short-term uncertainty with a "growing impact from supply disruptions as 2Q progresses."&nbsp;
AMZN Stock Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Amazon shares are down 3.38% at $166.78 at the time of publication Monday.&nbsp;

Every two years, Star Wars holds its Celebration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/04/31734634/may-the-force-be-with-disneys-star-wars-future-new-movies-tv-shows-and-the-return-of-daisy-">multi-day event </a>that provides a look at what's to come for the well-known franchise across television, movies, video games and more.
Here's a look at the highlights from the Star Wars Celebration event in Japan held over the weekend.
Television: Since Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/07/33170350/if-you-invested-1-000-in-disney-stock-when-it-acquired-lucasfilm-think-indiana-jones-star-w">acquired Lucasfilm in 2012</a> for $4.05 billion, the franchise has proven valuable for movies on the big screen and for television series to boost the presence of the Disney+ streaming platform.
Disney used Celebration to <a href="https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-celebration-2025-roundup">highlight </a>its upcoming second and final season of "Andor," which has a three-episode premiere on Disney+ on April 22.

Movies: One of the larger features of the Star Wars Celebration event was a focus on the upcoming "The Mandalorian and Grogu" film, set for a May 22, 2026 theatrical release date.
The new film marks the first theatrical Star Wars release since 2019. &#8220;The Rise of Skywalker,&#8221; the last feature-length film in the series, grossed $515.2 million domestically and $1.07 billion worldwide. The 2018 release &#8220;Solo: A Star Wars Story&#8221; grossed $213.8 million domestically and $392.9 million worldwide.
The film brings popular characters from the series "The Mandalorian" to the big screen, including Grogu, also known as "Baby Yoda."
Star Wars management also announced "Star Wars: Starfighter" is the next film to enter production, set to begin in the fall and with a theatrical release date of May 28, 2027.
The film comes from Shawn Levy, who has worked on hit franchises like "Deadpool" and "Stranger Things." The film will star Ryan Gosling, who showed off his early Star Wars fandom at the Celebration event with pictures of his old Star Wars bedding as a child.
Star Wars also gave quick updates that there are other films in development, including a film with Daisy Ridley returning as Rey and a new trilogy from Simon Kinberg.
Disney now has Star Wars movies on the calendar for back-to-back years, which along with its Marvel and Pixar franchises could provide some excitement for shareholders and movie theater companies.
Video Games and Toys: Star Wars Celebration also featured panels about upcoming new video game collaborations and toys.
Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) shared news on upcoming toys and collectibles based on fan favorite Star Wars characters of old and characters from recently released series.
Ubisoft debuted a trailer for the new A Pirate's Fortune story pack for Star Wars Outlaws. The story pack is free to season pass owners of the game or for $14.99.
Star Wars also highlighted a new mixed reality playset that brings podracing to Meta Quest, the mixed reality headset from Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). Titled "Star Wars: Beyond Victory -A Mixed Reality Playset," the new experience features Sebulba and an immersive podracing experience.
Disney has partnered with the game Fortnite from Epic Games in the past with skins and season features centered on Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar characters. On May 2, a Star Wars takeover in Fortnite begins with the "Imperial Takeover" chapter. The Star Wars collaboration features weekly chapters and will see characters like Emperor Palpatine and Darth Jar Jar as parts of the plot of the new season.
The Star Wars collaboration will end with a live event.
Disney <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/36993564/disney-invests-1-5b-in-fortnite-owner-epic-games-in-biggest-ever-gaming-entry-posts-q1-earnings-bea">took a $1.5 billion stake </a>in Epic Games back in 2024 and is partnering with the gaming company to create an entertainment universe for the Disney content library in the future.

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on Charles Schwab, Raises Price Target to $95

Currency markets are becoming more volatile, which has been good news for traders who participate in their multi-trillion daily volume. CVIX, the index of market-implied currency volatility, surged above 10 in April as most currencies gained ground against the US dollar.
As usual, doomsday headlines indicate that taking a contrarian stance and scalping the dollar on the upside, at least for the short term, might be a wise choice.
Last week&#8217;s big central bank news went as expected, as the Bank of Canada held the rate steady while the European Central Bank cut yet another 25 bps. CPI news delivered another inflationary cooldown across the board, which will only be more stimulative for further rate cuts—but not yet for the dollar, due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44848474/fed-chair-powell-says-tariffs-lead-to-temporary-rise-in-inflation">hawkish commentary</a> from the FED&#8217;s Chairman Jerome Powell, which further reinstates the dollar&#8217;s short-term strength hypothesis.
The week ahead will bring <a href="https://singaporeforexclub.com/how-to-read-the-forex-economic-calendar">PMI news</a> from multiple markets, Bank of England Governor Bailey will speak on Wednesday, and the Swiss National Bank Chairman Schlegel&#8217;s speech will round up the fundamental news by Friday. The weekly focus will be on finding potential NZD weakness, EUR strength, or GBP strength.
Key News:
<ul>
<li>Tuesday: EUR – ECB President Lagarde Speech</li>
<li>Wednesday: EUR – French, German PMI, GBP – PMI, USD – PMI, GBP – Governor Bailey Speech</li>
<li>Thursday: USD – Unemployment Claims</li>
<li>Friday: GBP-Retail Sales, CAD–Retail Sales, CHF–Chairman Schlegel Speech</li>
</ul>
Pairs In Focus
1.EUR NZD
EUR/NZD has potentially completed its pullback, finding some footing toward the end of last week and reaching key levels from earlier this month. As long as price doesn&#8217;t close below 1.90880 on the daily chart, doesn&#8217;t establish a lower low, and keeps grinding higher—comfortably closing above the 1.92600 level, which is a key resistance on the hourly chart—the potential for an intra-week continuation is around 1.96250. Retail sentiment is 77% short, which reinforces the long thesis.

2. GBP JPY
GBP JPY has printed an inside weekly bar. The price tried to take out last week&#8217;s low before failing and turning around. The anticipation for the next week is for a rally that will take out last week&#8217;s high, with the potential to reach as high as 191.900.

GBP/JPY Daily Chart, Source: TradingView
Ideally, an early week&#8217;s daily close above 190.130 would be a good opportunity to look for a follow-up pullback to set up the longs.
Notes:
<ul>
<li>AUD/CAD: Pulled back into support at 0.88500. As long as the price stays under 0.88750, it is a good candidate for a short.</li>
<li>AUD/NZD: Found some support around 1.07 but remains bearish.</li>
<li>AUD/SGD: Similar price action to AUD/CAD – the pullback seems temporarily finished, and <a href="https://singaporeforexclub.com/forex-price-action">price action</a> has</li>
<li>AUD/JPY:&nbsp; Failed to pull back to previous support—currently in a ranging phase.</li>
<li>AUD/CHF: Rejected the pullback; it might remain in a range for a while.</li>
<li>CAD/JPY: Remains in a consolidation, but the overall trend is to the downside.</li>
<li>CHF JPY: Pulled back after a huge breakout. As long as it stays above 173, the trend is to the upside.</li>
<li>EUR/AUD: The price has been compressing, and it will likely break out sometime soon. The bias is toward the upside.</li>
<li>EUR JPY: It didn't move as high as anticipated last week. Established support around 161.130 remains in play.</li>
<li>GBP/AUD: Found support around 2.07150. It looks ready for a sustained move to the upside.</li>
<li>GBP NZD: Pulled back to 2.25500 as anticipated and made a new lower low on the daily. The key level to watch above is 2.25120.</li>
<li>NZD/JPY: Staged a minor rally early in the week before crashing. Further downside movement is possible toward 82.900</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Power-Hungry AI Boom</h2>
The surge in artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming global energy markets, driven by the relentless electricity demands of data centers powering AI operations. These facilities require high-voltage, ultra-reliable power to ensure uninterrupted performance, as even a fleeting outage can derail complex computations, forcing operators to restart tasks from scratch. For investors, this trend signals a pivotal shift in energy commodities-natural gas, nuclear, and renewables-as companies race to meet escalating needs while navigating price volatility and infrastructure challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Skyrocketing Energy Needs</h2>
Training advanced AI models, such as large language models, consumes vast amounts of electricity, far surpassing traditional data center requirements. For example, training GPT-3 required approximately 1,300 megawatt-hours, equivalent to the yearly energy use of 130 U.S. households, according to industry estimates. The more sophisticated GPT-4 likely demanded up to 50 times more, analysts suggest. Unlike conventional software, generative AI systems run continuously, amplifying their energy footprint. In 2024, global data center electricity consumption reached 460 terawatt-hours, per the International Energy Agency (<a href="https://www.iea.org/">IEA</a>), with AI-driven workloads contributing significantly. This spike pressures energy grids, pushing up electricity prices in key regions-U.S. industrial electricity rates rose 4.7% year-over-year in Q1 2025, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)-and creating opportunities for energy-focused investments.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Infrastructure Under Strain</h2>
The Sixth Industrial Revolution, fueled by AI and sustainable technologies, is redefining energy infrastructure. Data centers accounted for 2.5% of global electricity use in 2024, per IEA projections, and this share is climbing as AI workloads grow exponentially. To cope, companies are investing heavily in localized power solutions. Microgrids, integrating solar and wind installations that supplied 17% of U.S. renewable energy in 2024, per the EIA, are emerging near data centers to stabilize supply. Battery storage systems, with global capacity hitting 120 gigawatt-hours in 2024, per <a href="https://about.bnef.com/new-energy-outlook/">BloombergNEF</a>, and smart grids are critical for managing fluctuating demands. These trends boost demand for commodities like lithium and nickel, essential for batteries, with lithium prices up 15% since January 2025, per S&amp;P Global Commodity Insights. Investors in these markets stand to benefit as infrastructure adapts.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Pivot to Renewables and Innovation</h2>
Tech giants operating AI data centers, such as Microsoft and Google, which together consumed 25 terawatt-hours in 2024, per company reports, are targeting 100% renewable energy to curb emissions. This commitment drives billions into solar, wind, and small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs), with global clean energy investment reaching $1.8 trillion in 2024, per IEA data. On-site power generation-think hydrogen fuel cells and natural gas backup generators-is also gaining traction. Natural gas futures on the NYMEX rose 8% year-to-date in 2025, reflecting data center demand. Meanwhile, AI itself optimizes energy use. Machine learning predicts consumption patterns, enhancing grid efficiency and cutting costs, which could stabilize energy markets long-term but requires upfront capital-good news for investors in utilities and tech.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hydrogen's Potential and Hurdles</h2>
Hydrogen emerges as a promising energy source for data centers, offering clean power with water as its primary byproduct. Its high energy density suits weight-sensitive applications, and hydrogen fuel cell installations grew 30% globally from 2023 to 2024, per the Hydrogen Council. Yet, challenges persist. Green hydrogen, made via renewable-powered electrolysis, costs $4-6 per kilogram in 2025, per BloombergNEF, far pricier than gray hydrogen at $1-2 per kilogram, which emits CO2. Blue hydrogen, with carbon capture, averages $2.5-3.5 per kilogram but faces scalability issues. These costs limit adoption, impacting hydrogen-related stocks like Plug Power (PLUG), down 12% year-to-date in 2025, per Yahoo Finance. Investors should watch for cost declines in green hydrogen to signal bullish trends.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving the Energy Shift?</h2>
AI's role in energy optimization is growing. Algorithms now forecast demand, improving grid stability and renewable integration. Battery technology advancements, with energy density up 10% from 2023 to 2024, per Wood Mackenzie, and cheaper solar panels, down 20% in cost since 2023, per Solar Energy Industries Association, accelerate the shift. Green hydrogen production costs are projected to fall 30% by 2030, per IEA forecasts, potentially unlocking its data center potential. For U.S. investors, this points to opportunities in natural gas (ETF: UNG), up 10% in 2025, and renewable energy funds (ETF: ICLN), gaining 15% year-to-date, per Morningstar, as infrastructure evolves.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Market in Transformation</h2>
AI data centers are rewriting energy market rules, demanding reliable, sustainable power and driving up commodity prices like natural gas and lithium. While hydrogen holds promise, its high costs in 2025 temper enthusiasm. Investors can capitalize on this shift by eyeing energy ETFs and stocks tied to renewables and gas, but patience is key as infrastructure catches up. The Sixth Industrial Revolution is here, and energy markets are its backbone.
