Chinese online retailers Temu and Shein are grappling with the repercussions of a terminated tariff-free shipping loophole. The closure of this loophole has not only affected these retailers but has also impacted the digital advertising strategies of tech giants such as Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).
What Happened:  With the closure of this loophole, Temu and Shein are now subjected to tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods.
These tariffs are expected to heavily impact companies that rely on selling goods at low prices and attracting customers through intensive online advertising. Consequently, Temu and Shein have reportedly already begun reducing their advertising spend, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/03/business/china-tariffs-temu-shein.html">a</a> report by The New York Times.
According to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, between March 31 and mid-April, Temu reduced its average daily U.S. advertising spend on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snap (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>), X, and YouTube by 31% compared to its average daily spend over the prior 30 days.
Marketing firm Tinuiti revealed that in April, Temu and Shein, previously dominant advertisers on Google in the U.S., began disappearing from the platform. Temu, which made up 19% of all U.S. Google Shopping ads on April 5, saw its share drop to zero just a week later.
In April, Chinese advertisers brought in $8.4 billion in revenue for Meta, making up roughly 11% of its total and more than twice the amount generated in 2022. Susan Li, Meta&#8217;s chief financial officer, said some Asian retailers scaled back their U.S. advertising budgets in anticipation of the potential end of the so-called de minimis exemption.
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/05/45185750/dont-piss-down-my-back-and-tell-me-its-raining-says-dave-portnoy-this-is-trumps-market-not-bidens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8216;Don&#8217;t Piss Down My Back And Tell Me It&#8217;s Raining,&#8217; Says Dave Portnoy—&#8217;This Is Trump&#8217;s Market, Not Biden&#8217;s&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: The tariff-free shipping loophole, which permitted goods made in China and Hong Kong valued at less than $800 to enter the United States without import taxes, has been terminated by President Donald Trump. This move has significantly impacted Temu and Shein, who have been leveraging this for their business operations.
The termination of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44640798/trump-ends-de-minimis-exemptions-shopify-bigcommerce-and-lightspeed-face-new-headwinds">de minimis</a> exemption has also exposed e-commerce software vendors and platforms to new challenges. Companies like Shopify Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>), BigCommerce Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIGC#NASDAQ">BIGC</a>), and Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LSPD#NYSE">LSPD</a>) are among those most affected.
Furthermore, a&nbsp;report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44874701/temu-and-shein-to-raise-prices-amid-us-tariffs-slash-ad-spend-on-apple-meta">revealed </a>that Temu and Shein had plans to increase prices from April 25, thereby shifting the burden of the tariffs onto consumers. This move was an attempt to counteract the impact of the tariffs and the crackdown on affordable imports.
Temu also announced it has stopped shipping products from China to U.S. customers and will now fulfill U.S. orders from local warehouses as it shifts to a domestic fulfillment model.
Meta holds a momentum rating of 83.72% and a growth rating of 74.85%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

Executive appointment reflects IonQ's vision for quantum networking leadership
Under Shapiro's leadership, IonQ has expanded its quantum networking business and advanced its technical roadmap
IonQ (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>), the leading commercial quantum computing and networking company, today named Jordan Shapiro as President and General Manager, Quantum Networking, effective immediately. Shapiro previously served as Vice President Financial Planning &amp; Analysis, Corporate Development and Investor
In his new role, Shapiro will oversee the company's quantum networking business, guiding IonQ's technical roadmap to build critical infrastructure for the quantum internet. His leadership will focus on integrating recent strategic acquisitions and advancing IonQ's position in quantum-secure communications.
"Jordan has played a pivotal role in shaping IonQ's strategy and growth over the last five years, and we're thrilled to have him step into this new leadership role," said Niccolo de Masi, President and CEO of IonQ. "His deep understanding of our business makes this a natural transition. As we scale our quantum networking efforts, Jordan's leadership, strategic vision, and operational insight will be instrumental in helping us execute on our roadmap and deliver on the promise of the quantum internet."
Shapiro, who holds two engineering degrees from Stanford University, joined IonQ's executive team in 2020, after initially working with the company as a venture capitalist at New Enterprise Associates and after investing personally in IonQ during the company's early stages. At IonQ, he has held roles across the company's business and led corporate development and financial operations. Most recently, Shapiro spearheaded the company's expansion into quantum networking through acquisitions of Qubitekk and a majority stake in ID Quantique.
"I'm honored to lead IonQ's quantum networking business in our pursuit of creating an architecture for the quantum internet, which we believe will enable the most secure communications and the most powerful computing ever built," said Shapiro. "With the addition of outstanding teams from Qubitekk and ID Quantique, we've significantly accelerated our progress in secure quantum communications. I look forward to deepening these partnerships and continuing to position IonQ at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field."
This leadership appointment underscores IonQ's commitment to innovation across both its quantum computing and quantum networking divisions.

Findell Capital Management LLC (collectively with its affiliates, "Findell" or "we"), which beneficially owns approximately 9.5% of the outstanding common stock of Oportun Financial Corporation (the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPRT#NASDAQ">OPRT</a>), today issued a public letter to the Company's stockholders and launched a campaign website at <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4419145-1&amp;h=2449506232&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opportunityatoportun.com%2F&amp;a=www.OpportunityAtOportun.com">www.OpportunityAtOportun.com</a> that contains important information about Findell's campaign. A copy of the letter is below.
Fellow Oportun Stockholders:
We are the largest stockholder of Oportun Financial Corporation ("Oportun" or the "Company"), with an approximately 9.5% equity stake in the Company. Over the last two years, we have repeatedly urged Oportun's Board of Directors (the "Board") to act as an honest fiduciary rather than as a captive enabler of CEO Raul Vazquez. Our efforts resulted in the addition to the Board in 2024 of independent directors Scott Parker and Richard Tambor, who each possess valuable experience in direct lending and whose appointments resulted in significant improvements in credit and cost reductions.
However, we believe Oportun today remains hamstrung by legacy directors and executives who continue to delay further operational and governance enhancements that would create meaningful value for stockholders. We have concluded that additional change to the composition of the Board is needed to ensure the Board's independence from management and to realize the full potential of Oportun.
To that end, we have nominated Warren Wilcox, an independent and highly qualified director candidate, for election to the Board at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). Mr. Wilcox is a seasoned lender whose election will end the legacy directors' majority control of the Board and enable the Board to provide effective long-term oversight of the business.
We will soon be mailing you a proxy statement and a&nbsp;WHITE&nbsp;universal proxy card where you will have an opportunity to vote on the future of the Company. In the meantime, you may find additional information on our newly launched campaign website: <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4419145-1&amp;h=2449506232&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opportunityatoportun.com%2F&amp;a=www.OpportunityAtOportun.com">www.OpportunityAtOportun.com</a>.
The Legacy Board Has Failed to Turn Around Oportun's Underperformance &amp; Effectively Oversee CEO Vazquez
In our view, Mr. Vazquez has destroyed a great lending business by ballooning Oportun's cost structure and net charge offs while attempting to turn the Company into a fintech conglomerate and a personal empire. We believe Mr. Vazquez's mistakes should have been arrested at the Board level – something the Board has evidently been incapable of or unwilling to do. In fact, the Board has apparently only encouraged Mr. Vazquez, most recently by appointing him Chief Financial Officer and principal accounting officer in addition to his role as CEO, despite his lack of accounting experience. This ineffective oversight is unsurprising in light of the facts that not a single legacy director has lending experience, and that many legacy directors have close personal and professional ties to Mr. Vazquez.
Our calls for Oportun to reverse Mr. Vazquez's empire-building efforts and refocus on its core lending business eventually forced a course correction, which was further aided by the addition of Messrs. Parker and Tambor in 2024. However, the changes have come slowly – and stockholders have had to suffer a 40% dilution1 since our engagement began in order to cover the Company's strategic blunders.
While the Company has made slow progress, Oportun is still substantially underperforming as evidenced by its operating results and by the subpar performance targets that have been set by the Board, which suggest that there is no sense of urgency in fixing the business. We believe that Oportun will not move forward so long as it maintains a staggered 10-person Board that is controlled by six long-tenured legacy directors who comprise the entirety of its committee and Board leadership.
The Company's operational and strategic performance under the supervision of the legacy directors clearly demonstrates the need for change:
<ul>
<li>While competitors like OneMain Holdings, Inc. ("OMF") kept their operating expenses ("opex") per loan and corporate head count flat from 2019 to 2023, Oportun grew its aggressively by 109% and 70%.2</li>
<li>Unnecessary acquisitions caused the Company to deviate from its core lending mission and generated substantial losses – for instance, the Company wasted $211 million on the value-destructive acquisition of Hello Digit, Inc. in 2021, or 12x its book value.3</li>
</ul>
These problems arose, we believe, from serious flaws in the Company's governance structure, which seems designed to negate accountability and facilitate management's value-destructive behavior:
<ul>
<li>Despite its small market capitalization (&lt;$200 million), Oportun is overseen by a bloated 10-person staggered Board with only four directors who appear independent from management.</li>
<li>Many of the legacy directors have worked with each other and with Mr. Vazquez in prior professional roles, forcing us to question the degree of independent oversight actually being exercised.4</li>
<li>Not one of the six legacy Board members has lending experience.</li>
<li>When we urged the Board to shrink from 10 directors to eight, the Board refused.</li>
</ul>
Since the appointment of Messrs. Parker and Tambor in 2024 as part of our cooperation agreement with the Company, Oportun's total return has meaningfully improved, demonstrating the importance of proper Board oversight:5

It's important to highlight that we endeavored to avoid a proxy fight this year by seeking to collaborate with Oportun on a plan that would place directors with lending experience in Board leadership positions. Unsurprisingly, the legacy directors refused our offers, further demonstrating that they are more focused on retaining their positions and keeping the current management team in place instead of driving stockholder returns.
In March of this year, we offered two experienced and independent director candidates to the Company whose addition to the Board would, we believed, provide it with significant lending expertise and promote good governance. Now that it has become apparent to us that no collaborative solution is possible, we have withdrawn one of our recommended candidates and are focusing our efforts on electing industry veteran Mr. Wilcox at the Annual Meeting to end the legacy directors' control over the Board.
This Year's Election Contest Represents an Opportunity to Establish an Independent Board Led by Independent Lending Industry Veterans
With the election of Mr. Wilcox at this year's Annual Meeting, stockholders can once and for all ensure that the entrenched legacy members no longer control the Board. Mr. Wilcox's addition to the Board will ensure that the Board is led by independent directors with lending industry experience and a level of objectivity that will enable them to effectively oversee management.
We also urge Oportun to take the following actions, which we believe will result in sustainable value creation for stockholders:
<ul>
<li>Further reduce costs so that the Company's opex ratio, which currently stands at 15%, targets 10% and is more in line with best-in-class operator OMF at less than 7%.</li>
<li>Remove the self-imposed interest rate cap of 36% so that Oportun can better serve its customer base.</li>
<li>De-stagger the Board and ensure it is fully independent with no professional or personal ties to management.</li>
<li>Appoint current directors with lending experience (Mr. Parker, Mr. Tambor and Carlos Minetti) to Board leadership roles.</li>
</ul>
We believe that much better days lie ahead for Oportun once stockholders wrest control of the Company from its irresponsible legacy directors and imperial CEO. In the coming weeks, we look forward to sharing additional information regarding the qualifications of Mr. Wilcox and our plan to unlock Oportun's full potential.
Sincerely,
Brian Finn CIO Findell Capital
