Trump Says Deal Could Be Made With China

Rosenblatt Securities analyst Chris Brendler maintained TeraWulf (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WULF#NASDAQ">WULF</a>) with a Buy and lowered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WULF/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$10&nbsp;to&nbsp;$4 on Wednesday</a>.
TeraWulf fits perfectly into Brendler&#8217;s Bitcoin mining investment thesis with low power costs, an efficient fleet and a strong balance sheet. Even better, it is one of only three miners to actually sign an HPC deal. Yet the stock has underperformed peers in the recent sell-off due to concerns about its ability to execute and sector-wide worries about the size of the AI opportunity.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44672428/analyst-warns-tariffs-could-push-us-bitcoin-mining-build-costs-20-higher" rel="noreferrer noopener">Analyst Warns Tariffs Could Push US Bitcoin Mining Build Costs 20% Higher</a>
Brendler is bullish on both and expects TeraWulf stock to revalue as it powers up Phase 1 later this year and signs additional deals to scale the business.
At the same time, however, Bitcoin mining profitability has dropped dramatically, and current market conditions make it tough to be optimistic about new HPC capital commitments.
Fortunately, the analyst noted that the stock is discounting a lot down here, and TeraWulf should have to execute for it to revalue.
Of all the mining startups that launched in the 2021 bull market, TeraWulf arguably had the most power expertise.
Founded by CEO Paul Prager, TeraWulf&#8217;s executive team has had decades of success in developing, acquiring, and managing power generation facilities at Beowulf Energy, where Prager is still CEO. Over its 30-plus year history, Beowulf has become known for expertise in managing large-scale energy assets and integrating cutting-edge technologies into traditional energy systems. With this deep power experience, TeraWulf&#8217;s power-first approach has proven to be a critical differentiator, first in Bitcoin mining and now in HPC.
In Brendler&#8217;s recent sector initiation report, he favored miners pivoting to HPC due to its superior growth and profitability characteristics. The market supported this view, as HPC-related stocks dramatically outperformed following the June 2024 announcement of the Core Scientific, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>)/CoreWeave, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) deal.
Since rallying to start 2025, the analyst had noted significant pressure on miner-turned-HPC stocks as the market has become increasingly skeptical of the AI opportunity.
In addition to sector-level concerns, Brendler also heard doubts about TeraWulf&#8217;s ability to execute and the strength of its partner, Core42. As a result, after becoming the second public miner to sign a long-term deal with a hyperscaler last year, the best-performing stock in the sector has underperformed so far in 2025.
Brendler noted this sell-off is overdone. He said TeraWulf&#8217;s HPC pivot will prove successful for several reasons.
First, the analyst is highly confident in TeraWulf&#8217;s ability to execute the first phase due to its power expertise and the project&#8217;s manageable size (72 MW). Second, he noted Core42 is an ideal partner. Although not as accomplished or well-known as CoreWeave, Core42 is the digital infrastructure subsidiary of G42, the well-funded (and state-sponsored) leader in AI development in the UAE.
Third, although Core42&#8217;s 135 MW option expired at the end of the first quarter of 2025, recent meetings with management suggested a high degree of confidence in not only 2025 but also TeraWulf&#8217;s annual 150 MW/year target through 2027.
Brendler expected TeraWulf&#8217;s HPC business to exceed market expectations and help the stock rebound.
Although TeraWulf has formally deemphasized the mining business, it still provides 100% of revenue and profitability today. TeraWulf ended 2024 with 9.7 EH/s of mining capacity, which should grow to 13.1 EH/s thanks to 15,000 Bitmain S21 Pros expected to be installed in the first quarter of 2025.
With an impressive 15 J/TH efficiency, TeraWulf&#8217;s fleet should be among industry leaders at just 18.1 J/TH by the first quarter of 2025. This is excellent timing since TeraWulf&#8217;s power costs no longer benefit from the sub-$0.03 per kWh at Nautilus since TeraWulf sold its 50% joint venture interest in October 2024. At this point, management does not expect to expand its mining operations and, as such, no longer provides monthly mining updates.
The shift to HPC can&#8217;t come soon enough, as Bitcoin mining economics have been crushed recently, with the network hash rate spiking to new highs. With Bitcoin falling below $80,000, the hash price has fallen below $40/PH/day for the first time.
In Brendler&#8217;s sector update yesterday, his mining estimates fell sharply across his coverage since his new network forecast includes a ~20% drop in miner profitability.
As a result, his TeraWulf estimates are materially below consensus, with 2025 and 2026 revenue of $195 million and $340 million and adjusted EBITDA of $17 million and $133 million.
Fortunately, much of this outlook is already reflected in the stock price, and Brendler noted significant catalysts ahead.
Given the skepticism around its HPC initiatives, TeraWulf would need to execute Phase 1 to help the stock revalue.
Improving Bitcoin mining profitability would also help, and the analyst noted there is a strong possibility that his new network forecast proves conservative.
Although the current macro environment makes optimism difficult, TeraWulf&#8217;s significant cash position should help it weather the storm.
WULF Price Action: TeraWulf stock is up 11.15% at $2.51 at publication on Wednesday.

TeraWulf Price Forecast Cut As Analyst Cites Tough Bitcoin Economics, Doubts Over AI Growth Plans

Portfolio managers at global asset manager VanEck say the Trump administration's sweeping new tariff regime is exerting widespread pressure across asset classes, with tangible impacts already visible in digital assets, commodities, emerging markets and fixed income.
What Happened: In an assessment <a href="https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/investment-outlook/our-portfolio-managers-weigh-impact-of-trumps-tariffs/">released</a> on Tuesday, VanEck professionals flagged recession risk, demand shocks and currency instability as key drivers of short-term market volatility, warning that continued escalation could severely damage investor sentiment and global capital flows.
"These tariffs are much higher and worse than expected," said Roland Morris, VanEck's portfolio manager for commodities. "The outlook for global growth has collapsed."
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), for example, dipped from aggressively following the announcement, though VanEck noted that the digital asset continues to outperform traditional indexes like the Nasdaq. 
Still, the broader message from VanEck is that tariffs have revived trade war uncertainty and weakened the dollar, conditions that have historically influenced asset behavior in multiple sectors.
"The Trump administration's April 2 tariff package has reignited global trade tensions and increased the risk of monetary fragmentation," wrote Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research. 
He added that interest in Bitcoin as a neutral settlement tool is no longer theoretical—citing examples of energy transactions being settled in crypto in China, Russia, and Bolivia.
In commodities, the UBS Constant Maturity Commodity Index dropped 6% in two days post-tariff, with copper alone falling 14%.

"Commodity indexes were near all-time highs on April 2 before collapsing," said Morris. 
He believes the longer-term outlook for gold remains bullish, while a weaker dollar may eventually support a commodity rebound.
Natural resource sectors are also under strain. 
While VanEck's Shawn Reynolds believes that "a large portion of the downside has been priced," he acknowledges that tariff uncertainty is weighing heavily on global recession fears, especially as U.S.–China relations show no sign of improving.
Emerging market bonds and equities are similarly fragile. 
Credit spreads are widening, and while EM currencies initially held firm, they have recently started to falter alongside U.S. equities. 
"Spreads should widen on dollar-denominated bonds," said Eric Fine, Head of Active EM Debt, adding that liquidity risks in corporate debt are increasing.
Fran Rodilosso, Head of Fixed Income ETF Portfolio Management, highlighted that the newly introduced tariffs equate to lower growth expectations and higher risks of a U.S. recession. 
He pointed out that spreads are widening across all risk-related debt categories—from investment-grade bonds to CLOs and high-yield loans.
Even municipal bonds, often perceived as insulated from global trade policy, are facing challenges. 
Tariffs are expected to drive up the cost of infrastructure and healthcare projects, making replacements and expansions fiscally harder to justify. 
"Some projects will be shelved; others will see cost overruns and strained financials," said Senior Municipal Analyst Tamara Lowin.

Trump Tariffs Are Pressuring Bitcoin, Bonds, Commodities, VanEck Warns

As cannabis legalization debates continue to escalate at both the federal and state levels, a comprehensive new report by <a href="https://themarijuanaherald.com/2025/04/where-all-100-u-s-senators-stand-on-cannabis-law-reform/">The Marijuana Herald</a> maps out where all 100 U.S. Senators stand on major reform issues, including recreational legalization, medical use, decriminalization, banking access and rescheduling. The report offers the most detailed snapshot of the upper chamber's political alignment on marijuana.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Partisan Divide: Familiar Lines, New Fractures</h3>
A clear party-line divide remains visible: nearly every Democrat supports all five cannabis reform measures, while most Republicans continue to oppose them, particularly recreational legalization and rescheduling from Schedule I.
Yet there are exceptions. Republican senators like Rand Paul (KY) and Cynthia Lummis (WY) show nuanced or even supportive positions on banking and rescheduling. Paul supports a "state-by-state" approach and has "pushed for marijuana rescheduling and expanded access for veterans," while Lummis voted for the SAFER Banking Act despite opposing legalization.
Also read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/04/44720279/is-legal-weed-in-trouble-analyst-says-taxes-oversupply-and-hemp-threat-drove-a-21b-cut-in-sales-estimates">Is Legal Weed In Trouble? Taxes, Oversupply And Hemp Threat Drove A $21-Billion Cut In Sales Estimates</a>
Meanwhile, Democrats like Raphael Warnock (GA) have taken more cautious stances on parts of reform. While supporting decriminalization and rescheduling, Warnock voted against the SAFER Banking Act in committee, citing equity concerns but left the door open for support on the floor.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Banking Reform Gains Bipartisan Traction</h3>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/safer-banking-act">SAFER Banking Act</a>—which would allow cannabis businesses access to financial services—emerged as the most bipartisan issue. Roughly 60 senators currently support it, including several Republicans who otherwise oppose legalization, such as Steve Daines (MT), Todd Young (IN) and John Curtis (UT).
Some, like Sen. Rand Paul, framed the issue as one of basic economic fairness: legal cannabis businesses "shouldn't be locked out of banking services just because of federal red tape."
Still, a faction of GOP holdouts remains opposed, including former Banking Committee chair Sen. Mike Crapo (ID), who has blocked previous versions from advancing.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rescheduling Remains Contested</h3>
Though the Biden administration has moved toward rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III, not all senators are on board. While every Democrat supports the change, many Republicans remain firmly against it, including Sen. John Cornyn (TX) and Sen. Tom Cotton (AR), who labeled the push "a dangerous path."
A few Republicans, including Kevin Cramer (ND) and Steve Daines, expressed conditional support, stating openness to changes "based on research."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Support For Legalization Still A Minority Position In The GOP</h3>
Of the 49 Republicans in the Senate, only a handful—notably Sen. Rand Paul—express support for full recreational legalization. Even those who back state autonomy, such as Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Susan Collins (ME), are reluctant to endorse nationwide legalization.
Meanwhile, Democratic support is nearly universal, with key figures like Sen. Chuck Schumer actively pushing legislation like the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act. Schumer has tied support for SAFER Banking to equity reforms and "urged President Biden to deschedule marijuana."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Incoming Senators And Shifting Dynamics</h3>
Newly elected senators bring fresh dynamics. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), now a senator, maintains a staunchly pro-cannabis stance, having voted for the MORE Act and advocating for full descheduling. Similarly, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) carries over a pro-reform record from the House.
In contrast, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH)—who defeated cannabis supporter Sherrod Brown—has taken a hardline stance, calling marijuana "a gateway drug" and linking it to "schizophrenia."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">State-Level Contradictions</h3>
In multiple states where cannabis has been legalized, senators continue to oppose federal reform. This includes both senators from Florida (Rick Scott and Ashley Moody) and South Dakota (John Thune and Mike Rounds), despite strong voter support for legalization at the state level.
Conversely, senators from traditionally conservative states like Montana, Alaska and Utah have shown more willingness to respect voter mandates, particularly on banking and medical access.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Reform Outlook: A Divided Senate With Flickers Of Momentum</h3>
The path toward federal cannabis reform remains narrow. Comprehensive legalization still lacks the supermajority needed to overcome procedural hurdles, but momentum continues to build around incremental efforts like banking access and rescheduling.
As the 2025 session continues, pressure from constituents, economic forces, and evolving public opinion may drive further shifts. For now, the Senate reflects a patchwork of positions—some hardened, some shifting—with each senator holding sway over a multi-billion-dollar question: What does the future of legal cannabis in America look like?

Who's Blocking Cannabis Reform In The Senate? Marijuana Policy Still Divides Democrats And Republicans

Wall Street staged one of its most powerful rallies in history on Wednesday, as a dramatic shift in U.S. trade policy ignited an aggressive risk-on surge across <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44720006/markets-take-off-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause-for-non-retaliating-nations-slaps-china-with-125-duty">every corner of the market.</a>
At the heart of the rally was President Donald Trump's unexpected announcement of a 90-day tariff pause for countries that have not retaliated against the U.S., coupled with a renewed hardline stance on China. 
The twin messaging—conciliatory toward allies, confrontational toward Beijing—was seen by investors as a calculated move to reset trade negotiations and de-escalate uncertainty.
Trump decided to impose universal 10% tariffs on countries that have not retaliated against U.S. duties, announcing a three-month window for fine-tuning negotiations. He also opted to keep duties on China as high as 125%.
The reaction was immediate and overwhelming.
The Nasdaq 100 – as tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – soared 11% by 2:40 p.m. ET, on track for its strongest one-day gain since October 2008, during the height of the global financial crisis. 
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 8.7%, its best session since March 2020, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 7.3%, also notching a post-COVID record. 
Meanwhile, the Russell 2000, which tracks domestic-focused small caps, rocketed 9.1%, nearing one of its best sessions since the index&#8217;s inception in 1987.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mega-Cap Stocks Skyrocket </h3>
The Magnificent Seven stocks added a combined $1.44 trillion in market capitalization in a single session, in what is shaping up to be one of the largest single-day gains in aggregate market value ever recorded for the U.S. tech titans.

The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) soared 11%, its largest one-day jump since the fund&#8217;s inception in 2023.
"This was brilliantly executed by Donald Trump. Textbook, Art of the Deal," hedge fund titan Bill Ackman posted on X, reflecting the enthusiastic reactions from investors.
Economist Mohamed El-Erian noted that while speculation centered on who might have pressured the White House—Congress, CEOs, or courts—it was likely the government bond market that forced the administration's hand: "How close it gets to the line that separates wild price volatility from market malfunctioning," he wrote.
Before Trump's announcement, U.S. Treasuries had come under heavy pressure, with yields climbing amid growing investor skepticism toward American assets.
Market experts saw the move as a potential inflection point. 
"Markets are breathing a loud sigh of relief after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs and a reduction of certain ones," said Chris Brigati, CIO at SWBC. "The market&#8217;s move upward is violent, and speaks to how badly the market was looking for clarity."
Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management, called this "the pivotal moment we've been waiting for," adding that the timing, just ahead of earnings season, may give companies a steadier backdrop for forward guidance.
Still, some warned the euphoria may prove temporary. "Uncertainty looms over what happens after the 90-day period," Bolvin said. "This underscores the importance of staying fully invested, particularly in a market as reactive and headline-driven as this one."

<h3>About Netflix</h3>
Netflix's relatively simple business model involves only one business, its streaming service. It has the biggest television entertainment subscriber base in both the United States and the collective international market, with more than 300 million subscribers globally. Netflix has exposure to nearly the entire global population outside of China. The firm has traditionally avoided a regular slate of live programming or sports content, instead focusing on on-demand access to episodic television, movies, and documentaries.

Analyst Expectations For Popular's Future

In the current market session, Kraft Heinz Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) price is at $28.64, after a 3.43% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 5.48%, and in the past year, by 21.71%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744225234_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Kraft Heinz P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Kraft Heinz has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 22.09 of the Food Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744225234_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Analyst Expectations For Bloom Energy's Future

Mattel's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NYSE">MAT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 15.08 million shares sold short, which is 7.3% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.71 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?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>Mattel Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744225230_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Mattel has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Mattel'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.
