The odds of a US recession occurring in 2025 have escalated due to the imposition of tariffs, as per&nbsp;Alec Kersman, managing director and&nbsp;head of Asia-Pacific at Pimco.
What Happened: Alec Kersman, speaking at <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/tariffs-have-increased-the-probability-of-a-us-recession-pimco.html">CNBC&#8217;s</a> CONVERGE event in Singapore on Wednesday, revealed that there is now a 35% chance of a US recession this year. This figure marks a considerable surge from the 15% probability Pimco projected in December 2024, primarily due to the impact of tariffs enforced by the US.
However, Kersman also pointed out that Pimco&#8217;s base case scenario is a growth of 1% to 1.5% in the U.S. economy, a significant drop from previous forecasts, but still an expansion.
On the other hand, Kamal Bhatia, president and CEO&nbsp;of Principal Asset Management, told CNBC that trade policies leading to increased domestic consumption could potentially boost the U.S. economy more than anticipated. Bhatia noted that trade wars could prompt countries to become more insular, fostering patriotism that translates into increased local spending.
Consumer spending, which constitutes approximately two-thirds of U.S. gross domestic product, could rise due to tariffs, potentially causing the country&#8217;s GDP to perform better than expected, Bhatia added.

Why It Matters: The 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump have now taken effect, triggering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">swift retaliation</a> from the European Union. This move has impacted several countries, including Canada, Australia, and the EU. "We've had very muted geopolitics in investing for a long period of time, and clearly tariffs are changing that," opined Bhatia.
While the tariffs have fueled a buying frenzy and sent Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) prices soaring 36% year-to-date, real demand hasn&#8217;t budged, according to JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/03/44245031/steels-hot-streak-faces-reality-check-analyst-weighs-tariffs-vs-recession-fears">looming economic uncertainty</a>, coupled with demand stagnation and rising scrap costs, could prevent stocks from fully cashing in.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is adding some heavy metal firepower to its Vision Pro headset — but will a virtual concert featuring Metallica be enough to spark new interest in the struggling $3,499 device?
What Happened: On Friday, March 14, Apple Vision Pro users will be able to experience Metallica: M72 World Tour &#8211; Live from Mexico City — a 25-minute immersive concert filmed with 14 ultra-high-resolution 180-degree cameras and powered by Spatial Audio.
The experience offers unprecedented access to the band's finale performance and will also be available as an EP on Apple Music.

In addition to streaming at home, the concert will serve as a demo experience at Apple Stores where Vision Pro is available, including in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany, and more.
Why It's Important: This comes as Apple appears to be reevaluating its extended reality (XR) strategy. Last year, it was reported that the tech giant has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41499682/apple-to-cut-vision-pro-production-cheaper-model-expected-in-2025-report">scaled back Vision Pro production</a> due to lower-than-expected demand. CEO Tim Cook has also admitted the headset isn't a mass-market product at its current price.

In the latest installment of his weekly "Power On" newsletter, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman reported that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44211544/apple-breaks-tradition-with-a-flood-of-new-releases-explores-smart-glasses">Apple is exploring various form</a> factors.
After scrapping its plans for AR glasses as an external Mac display in early 2025, the company is once again considering standalone AR glasses.
According to the report, a commercial version could take anywhere from three to five years to materialize. Apple is also reportedly developing its take on Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses.

Apple Doubles Down On Vision Pro With Metallica Concert Experience: But Can Rock Legends Save A $3,499 Headset That's Already Being Scaled Back?

The United States has lifted its pause on intelligence sharing and resumed security assistance to Ukraine following Ukraine&#8217;s acceptance of a U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire plan, according to a joint statement released Tuesday. However, an influential Russian lawmaker quickly rejected American terms, and <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44138112/defense-stocks-take-centerstage-as-donald-trump-freezes-ukraine-military-aid-heres-a-list-of-top-global-defense-etfs-to-watch">defense stocks fell in response</a>.
What Happened: The agreement came during a meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where Ukrainian representatives expressed &#8220;readiness to accept the U.S. proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire,&#8221; which could be extended by mutual agreement and requires Russian acceptance and implementation.
Markets reacted swiftly to the news. The Nasdaq 100, tracked by Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), reversed earlier losses and surged more than 400 points from its intraday low, closing up 0.7% on Tuesday. 
Meanwhile, major defense contractors saw their shares decline. L3Harris Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>) fell 2.53%, Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) dropped 2.15%, and General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>) declined 2.88% as investors recalibrated expectations <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44138112/defense-stocks-take-centerstage-as-donald-trump-freezes-ukraine-military-aid-heres-a-list-of-top-global-defense-etfs-to-watch">amid peace prospects</a>.
Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the international affairs committee of Russia&#8217;s Federation Council, pushed back against the proposal Wednesday, stating on Telegram that any agreement would be &#8220;on our terms, not on American,&#8221; reported Reuters. Kosachev added, &#8220;This is not boasting, but understanding that real agreements are still being written there, at the front.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The ceasefire development follows President Donald Trump&#8216;s recent threat to impose &#8220;large-scale banking sanctions, sanctions, and tariffs on Russia&#8221; until a peace agreement is reached. Earlier this month, Trump had paused military aid to Ukraine, pressuring President Volodymyr Zelensky to pursue peace with Russia following a contentious Oval Office meeting.
Prediction markets have shown increasing confidence in a resolution, with Polymarket data indicating a 37% probability of Trump brokering a ceasefire within his first 90 days in office, up from 23% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44260839/tech-stocks-bitcoin-strongly-rebound-as-ukraine-backs-us-proposal-for-30-day-ceasefire-with-russia">before the announcement</a>. 
As part of the agreement, both countries also committed to concluding &#8220;a comprehensive agreement for developing Ukraine&#8217;s critical mineral resources&#8221; that would expand Ukraine&#8217;s economy and secure its long-term prosperity.

Earnings Scheduled For March 12, 2025

Billionaire investor Howard Marks has highlighted the shifting investor sentiment toward credit investments amid the ongoing downfall in the equity markets. In his latest memo, he underscores how private debt offers higher returns than the S&amp;P 500 index amid elevated valuations.
What Happened: In his latest memo &#8216;Gimme Credit,&#8217; dated March 6, Marks explains how credit investments, especially private credit, is an attractive asset class with higher return potential, but he cautions investors to be aware of its unique risks, particularly the lack of transparency and the uncertainty surrounding its performance in a future crisis.
Despite the current narrow spreads of around 290 basis points, the co-founder and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management argues that credit investments offer healthy absolute returns and are fairly priced in relative terms.
&#8220;The current level of offered yields implies higher returns from credit than the S&amp;P 500, with returns that are contractual and thus subject to much less variability and uncertainty,&#8221; the memo states.
Comparing his latest analysis to his Jan. 7 memo, &#8216;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42995814/billionaire-investor-who-predicted-the-dot-com-crash-25-years-ago-warns-of-another-market-storm-brewing-in-the-us">On Bubble Watch</a>,&#8217; he describes that at current valuations the S&amp;P 500 index is likely to produce ten-year returns averaging between -2% and 2% per year. However, this is not the case with today's expected returns on credit.
&#8220;We'd rather buy at higher yields and wider spreads, and we may get a chance to do so . . . or not. But that preference in itself isn't a reason for not increasing allocations to credit today,&#8221; he writes.

Why It Matters: Contrasting the difference between buying the S&amp;P 500 at current valuations versus buying private credit at lower spreads, the dot-com crash predictor explains that high-yield bond investors earned more than Treasuries in 10 years.
According to him, the reason for this is that &#8220;The issuer pays interest and principal as promised, the price decline brought on by spread widening has only a temporary effect. When you're repaid at par, you'll have received the yield you expected, regardless of price fluctuations experienced in the meantime, including declines related to spread widening.&#8221;
Also, investing at lower yields is not a major issue as per Marks because of the following reasons;
<ul>
<li>Historical spreads cover default losses.</li>
<li>Improved economic management has reduced default risk.</li>
<li>Total return, not just spread, is the key metric.</li>
<li>Consistent interest payments and principal repayment prevail.</li>
<li>Contractual bond returns provide stability.</li>
<li>Active management further reduces default risk.</li>
</ul>
However, some cons of investing in private credit include;
<ul>
<li>Illiquidity: Funds locked, no quick exits.</li>
<li>Unproven In Crisis: Untested during severe downturns.</li>
<li>Potential For Lax Standards: Risk of rushed, poor-quality loans.</li>
<li>Marking To Model Risk: Valuation subjectivity, potential for overvaluation.</li>
<li>Lack Of Transparency: Limited public information and regulation.</li>
<li>Higher Fees: Increased costs compared to public credit.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Tuesday.

Billionaire Howard Marks Prefers Credit Over Equity Amid Falling Market: 'Yields Implies Higher Returns From Credit Than The S&P 500'

In a bid to regain his $56 billion compensation, Elon Musk filed an appeal challenging a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42279851/elon-musk-56b-pay-package-rejected-by-judge-again-tesla-analyst-says-a-soap-opera-playing-out-in-delaware">lower court&#8217;s decision to overturn</a> the record payout from Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). Musk on Tuesday contended that the judge committed several legal errors in the ruling.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495275/elon-musk-can-now-appeal-to-restore-56-billion-pay-package-from-tesla-report">Musk&#8217;s appeal </a>asserts that his 2018 pay package, which shareholders approved twice, significantly contributed to Tesla&#8217;s growth. However, the Court of Chancery deemed it unfair to shareholders, Reuters reported.
The appeal brief, submitted by Musk along with the current and former Tesla directors listed as defendants in the case, contends that the court&#8217;s ruling &#8220;defies settled principles of Delaware law, sound corporate governance, and common sense.&#8221;
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
In January 2024, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick revoked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42893922/tesla-directors-receives-court-approval-for-settlement-in-excess-pay-case">Musk&#8217;s stock options pay package</a>, calling it &#8220;unfathomable.&#8221; She contended that the decision was unfair to Tesla shareholders, as the directors who approved it were influenced by Musk, and Tesla failed to disclose essential information to investors before they cast their votes.
Musk&#8217;s compensation package granted him the option to purchase approximately 303 million Tesla shares at about $23 each, provided the company met specific performance and valuation targets.

Why It Matters: This appeal comes after Musk&#8217;s vocal criticism of Delaware&#8217;s legal system. Following the rejection of his nearly $100 billion compensation package from Tesla, Musk did not hold back in expressing his dissatisfaction with the state&#8217;s Court of Chancery, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44031641/elon-musk-blasts-delaware-court-after-100b-pay-package-rejected-sparks-corporate-exodus-threat">which he described</a> as &#8220;absolute corrupt&#8221;. The appeal is essential for reinstating Musk&#8217;s compensation and ensuring his continued commitment to Tesla. Musk has suggested that he desires a larger stake in the company; otherwise, he may pursue product development outside of Tesla.
Notably, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), TripAdvisor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>), and Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) are also considering moving out of Delaware to re-incorporate in places like Nevada and Florida. As a result, the state is looking to revise its policies for handling shareholder lawsuits.

Former President Ronald Reagan once cautioned, "High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation&#8230; and less and less competition," but Donald Trump is pushing forward with steep trade barriers anyway, and U.S. tech companies could be among the hardest hit.
What Happened: In his April 1987 radio address, President Reagan made a passionate case against protectionism, warning that tariffs would "hurt every American worker and consumer," drive prices higher, and ultimately lead to job losses.&nbsp;
While it may look like they're doing the patriotic thing, Reagan said, over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.

Fast forward to 2025, Trump — now in his second term — is embracing the very strategy Reagan opposed. He has doubled tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">Canadian steel and aluminum</a> imports to 50%. In early February, he implemented a 10% tariff on nearly all Chinese imports, increasing it to 20% earlier this month.
Trump argues these measures are meant to protect American jobs and national security, but the consequences are already beginning to ripple across the tech sector and other businesses.
China has <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44102063/china-strikes-back-at-trumps-tariffs-with-retaliatory-duties-us-company-sanctions-and-wto-showdown">retaliated with 10-15% tariffs</a> on U.S. exports, including agricultural products, coal, liquefied natural gas, pickup trucks, and select sports cars.
Additionally, Beijing has imposed export restrictions on American companies in the aviation, defense, and technology sectors while launching an anti-monopoly probe into Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.
Why It's Important: The stakes for U.S. technology are massive. Semiconductors — the backbone of everything from AI to electric vehicles — are overwhelmingly manufactured overseas.
The U.S. designs many of the world's most advanced chips but relies on Taiwan, China, and South Korea for over 80% of its supply.
Companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42344194/these-products-will-likely-see-price-hikes-due-to-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-and-mexico-2">now facing rising costs </a>for Chinese-made components, while cloud giants such as Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Google may see data center expansions stall due to higher prices on imported servers and networking equipment.
Consumer electronics are also in the crosshairs. Laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles, and electric vehicles could all see price hikes as <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43839627/apple-may-hike-iphone-prices-by-9-due-to-trumps-tariffs-says-bank-of-america#:~:text=Apple%20May%20Hike%20iPhone%20Prices,(NYSE%3ABAC)%20%2D%20Benzinga">tariffs raise production costs</a>. Apple may be forced to raise iPhone prices, while EV makers like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44135215/trumps-tariffs-could-wipe-out-profits-for-gm-ford-and-stellantis-barclays-warns-tariffs-of-this-magnitude-are-unlikely-to-stick">could face tighter margins</a>.
Retailers are bracing, too. Target Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) CEO Brian Cornell earlier this month <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44110273/trump-tariffs-will-raise-prices-within-days-target-ceo-says">warned of rising prices</a> on imported goods "within days," as companies scramble to relocate manufacturing out of China to tariff-free zones like India and Vietnam.
The U.S. faces a pivotal moment: double down on foreign dependency or absorb the costs of rebuilding self-reliance, and there are some indications that companies are scrambling to.
Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), and Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) are pouring funds into new semiconductor manufacturing facilities across Arizona, Texas, and Ohio.
Last month, Apple announced plans to invest <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44109824/apples-500b-u-s-investment-analyst-calls-it-completely-unrealistic-questions-where-the-money-will-come-from">more than $500 billion in the U.S</a>. over the next four years. This initiative includes the creation of 20,000 jobs and the development of an AI server plant in Texas.
Even so, as Reagan put it nearly four decades ago: "Let's not go for the quick political advantage… America's jobs and growth are at stake."

Protests against Tesla have emerged in the U.S. and Europe, with demonstrators criticising Musk's political activities. Tesla's European sales dropped 45% in January, contrasting with a 37% rise in overall EV sales, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association.

Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Double US Production in 2 Years After Trump Backs EV Giant Amid Stock Slump

The&nbsp;25% tariffs on steel and&nbsp;aluminum imports imposed by U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;have now taken effect, triggering a swift retaliation from the European Union.
What Happened: The tariffs were enforced on Wednesday, impacting several countries including Canada, Australia, and the EU. The White House issued confirmation about the duties late Tuesday but also revealed that Trump had abandoned plans to increase tariffs on Canadian metals to 50%, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/trumps-25percent-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect.html">reported</a> CNBC.
In response, the European Union announced counter-tariffs on $28.33 billion&nbsp;worth of U.S. goods beginning in April. The European Commission stated that these measures aim&nbsp;to &#8220;protect European businesses, workers&nbsp;and consumers from the impact&nbsp;of these unjustified trade restrictions.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister&nbsp;Anthony Albanese&nbsp;criticized Trump&#8217;s move as &#8220;entirely unjustified,&#8221; adding that Australia will refrain from imposing reciprocal tariffs on U.S. imports to prevent price inflation for Australian consumers.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44268979/melania-trumps-official-memecoin-worth-over-13-billion-barely-two-months-ago-is-now-valued-at-367-million">Melania Trump&#8217;s Official Memecoin, Worth Over $13 Billion Barely Two Months Ago, Is Now Valued At $367 Million</a>
Why It Matters: This development marks another chapter in the ongoing trade war, characterized by Trump&#8217;s bold tariff promises and subsequent reversals. The trade tensions have recently rattled markets, amid intensifying concerns that the tariffs could edge the world&#8217;s largest economy towards a recession.
Furthermore, Trump&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44267277/trump-scraps-50-tariff-hike-on-canadian-steel-aluminum-after-ontario-backs-down">scrap plans to hike </a>tariffs on Canadian metals to 50% came after Ontario paused&nbsp;a 25% tax on electricity&nbsp;exports to the U.S. This indicates a complex and rapidly evolving situation, with decisions being made and reversed in quick succession, adding to the uncertainty in global markets.
That being said, some of the domestic industry bodies hail the President&#8217;s move. American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), representing U.S. steelmakers, supported the tariffs, stating they would generate jobs and strengthen domestic steel production, reported BBC. Furthermore, Jesse Gary, the CEO of Century Aluminum told the New York Times, "The new tariffs will close those loopholes back up and enable us to begin investing again, and bring on more production here in the U.S."
On the flipside, Bill Reinsch, a former Commerce Department official told BBC, &#8220;It protects [the steel and aluminium] industries but hurts downstream users of their products by making them more expensive.&#8221; 
The shares of domestic steelmakers, United States Steel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) and Nucor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) climbed more than 13% year to date, as per<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga Pro.</a> Meanwhile, Aluminum stocks Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Century Aluminum Co.

Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), announced a productive meeting with President Donald Trump, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and other technology executives focused on enhancing government efficiency and strengthening American <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">leadership in artificial intelligence</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Yesterday we had a productive discussion with Trump, Musk, and other tech CEOs about enhancing government efficiency and accelerating U.S. leadership in AI and technology,&#8221; Dell wrote on X. &#8220;We are proud to be a trusted AI partner for the U.S. government.&#8221;
The high-level meeting comes as Dell Technologies positions itself for significant AI-driven growth. During a recent earnings call, Dell COO Jeff Clarke projected the company&#8217;s AI server business would grow to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/44035798/dell-technologies-projects-15-billion-ai-server-revenue-for-fy26-raises-dividend-18-amid-a-mixed-quarter">at least $15 billion</a> in fiscal year 2026, driven by what he described as a &#8220;robust opportunity pipeline&#8221; and Dell&#8217;s engineering and services advantages.
&#8220;This AI business drives incremental operating profit and is EPS-accretive,&#8221; Clarke stated.

Why It Matters: Dell&#8217;s meeting with Trump occurs amid increased government focus on AI development. In January, the administration announced support for Stargate, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">a $500 billion joint venture</a> between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle Corp. to build AI infrastructure across the United States.
The Stargate announcement boosted shares of NVIDIA Corp., Dell, and other AI-focused companies, as investors anticipated increased demand for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">AI hardware and infrastructure</a>.
Dell&#8217;s statement indicates the company intends to continue engagement with &#8220;customers and policymakers&#8221; on AI initiatives, positioning itself as a key partner in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence sector.

Official Melania (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MELANIA</a>) failed to reverse its downsides on Tuesday, even as the broader meme coin market staged a strong recovery.
What happened: The official cryptocurrency of First Lady Melania Trump fell over 4% in the last 24 hours, widening its weekly losses to 15.81%. 
The continued decline contrasted sharply with the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44267790/pepe-leads-memecoin-rebound-with-11-rally-but-dogecoin-shiba-inu-not-that-far-behind"> relief rally</a> for other meme coins. The total meme coin capitalization rose 2.64% in the last 24 hours.
The token has plummeted nearly 95% from the all-time high of $13.73 set shortly after its <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43078040/trump-coin-tanks-36-even-as-melania-trump-launches-her-own-token-top-analyst-says-his-short-is-going-very-very-well">January launch.</a> Moreover, the slump has wiped out $13 billion worth of the coin&#8217;s fully diluted capitalization, currently valued at $367 million.

Ethereum Plunges 30% Since His Buy Call</a>
Why It Matters: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based token was launched just before President Donald Trump&#8217;s presidential inauguration, just like the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) memecoin.&nbsp;
The MELANIA meme coin website maintains a disclaimer, stating, &#8220;Melania Memes are intended for collecting and entertainment purposes only. They are not financial instruments or investments.&#8221;
The coin's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43078040/trump-coin-tanks-36-even-as-melania-trump-launches-her-own-token-top-analyst-says-his-short-is-going-very-very-well">vesting timeline</a> consists of an initial lock period of 30 days, followed by the staggered unlocking at definite intervals for the team.
Both MELANIA and TRUMP soared following their launch, and at their peak, the combined market value of the two assets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43080060/donald-trump-and-melania-memecoins-combined-market-value-is-now-higher-than-that-of-warren-buffetts-hot-pick">topped that of leading oil producer</a> Occidental Petroleum.
Price Action: At the time of writing, MELANIA was exchanging hands at $0.6828, down 4.77% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;
Benzinga&#8217;s Take: Investing in meme coins is highly speculative and involves significant risk. Meme coins often lack intrinsic value and are driven by market sentiment, social media trends, and celebrity endorsements.
