Mastercard Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

MATH

Reported Earlier, Metalpha Reports 266% Surge In FY2025 Wealth Management Income To $44.6M And Turns First Annual Profit Of $15.9M

Used car retailer, Carvana Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>), reported a strong second-quarter performance, fueled partly by the chaos and uncertainties surrounding President Donald Trump&#8217;s trade and tariff policies during the quarter.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVNA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CVNA stock here.</a>
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46739500/carvana-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-as-vehicle-sales-jump-41-company-sees-enormous-opportunity-ahead">second-quarter earnings</a> call on Wednesday, the company revealed that tariff-related pricing dynamics in April contributed to an estimated $100 per unit uplift in retail gross profit.
&#8220;We really linked [it] to the announcements of auto tariffs in late March that drove stronger demand and higher margins,&#8221; CFO Mark Jenkins said during the call. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/07/46660447/decoding-carvanas-options-activity-whats-the-big-picture">Decoding Carvana&#8217;s Options Activity: What&#8217;s the Big Picture?</a>
The company&#8217;s CEO, Ernie Garcia, acknowledged the temporary nature of the benefit, saying that, &#8220;There was a little bit of kind of pull forward and then maybe a little slowness immediately thereafter, but I think for the most part it was relatively flat.&#8221;
According to Garcia, Carvana sold 143,280 retail units in the second quarter, up 41% year-over-year. In contrast, he says, &#8220;based on our best available data, the market grew by less than 5% in units in the quarter.&#8221; He added that the company &#8220;grew inventory available for our customers by 50%,&#8221; while the broader industry faces stagnation.
&#8220;We were once again the fastest growing and most profitable automotive retailer, again by significant margins,&#8221; he said, while also highlighting the role of strong execution as the key driver of this performance, besides the temporary macro-driven uplift. 
Why It Matters: Carvana's stock has staged one of the most dramatic reversals in recent market history. After peaking at over $360 in 2021, shares collapsed to just $3.72 in late 2022 amid fears of bankruptcy and a cratering used-car market. Over the past year, however, it has once again soared by 8,867%, and currently trades at $333.59 per share. 
As the stock continues to test new highs, Garcia, the company&#8217;s CEO, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46716157/ernest-garcia-ii-sells-33-5-million-worth-of-carvana-stock-amid-165-rally">sold shares worth</a> $33.5 million this week, while continuing to remain a major shareholder with a 10% ownership in the company.
The stock is back in the spotlight, with retail investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46679779/opendoor-skyrockets-314-in-a-month-amid-meme-stock-mania-hedge-fund-manager-who-reaped-windfall-gains-says-im-not-here-to-pump-up-a-stock">drawing parallels to it</a> with Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>), another beaten-down stock that is being touted as a potential &#8220;100-bagger,&#8221; or a stock that could 100x in value from its current levels. 
The company released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46739500/carvana-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-as-vehicle-sales-jump-41-company-sees-enormous-opportunity-ahead">second-quarter results</a> on Wednesday, reporting $4.84 billion in revenue, up 42% year-over-year, and beating consensus estimates of $4.53 billion. It posted a profit of $1.28 per share, again ahead of Street estimates at $0.97 per share.
Price Action: Carvana&#8217;s shares were down 0.86% on Wednesday, trading at $333.59, but are up 15.70% after hours, following the company&#8217;s earnings announcement.

Dow Falls Over 150 Points After Powell's Comments On Rate Cuts: Investor Sentiment Declines, But Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized Canada&#8217;s decision to back statehood for Palestine, warning that this move could jeopardize trade negotiations between the two countries.
What Happened: The U.S. President expressed his disapproval of Canada&#8217;s recent announcement regarding the recognition of a Palestinian state. Trump took to Truth Social to voice his concerns, stating, &#8220;Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh&#8217; Canada!!&#8221; 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="612" height="188" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/31024956/image-496.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1008438" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/31024956/image-496.png 612w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/31024956/image-496-300x92.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px" /></figure>
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September, making it the third G7 country, after the UK and France, to declare such intentions in recent days, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceqyx35d9x2o">reported </a>BBC. 
Carney&#8217;s decision depends on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority conducting elections next year without Hamas participation. Formal recognition of the State of Palestine is anticipated at the upcoming UN General Assembly. He stated, &#8220;The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable and it is rapidly deteriorating.&#8221;
Carney also disclosed that he had spoken with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas earlier on Wednesday regarding the announcement.

Why It Matters: This move comes at a time when U.S.-Canada trade relations are already strained. Earlier this month, President Trump indicated that the U.S. might abandon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46647776/us-may-ditch-trade-negotiations-with-canada-trump-says-havent-really-had-a-lot-of-luck">trade negotiations</a> with Canada, hinting that tariffs might be the outcome.
Canada had responded to Trump&#8217;s 50% steel tariffs with a $1 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/07/46469746/canada-hits-back-at-trumps-50-steel-tariffs-with-1-billion-rescue-new-quota-system">rescue plan </a>and a new quota system, as reported. The U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warned that August 1 would be the "hard deadline" for countries that haven't yet signed a trade deal with the U.S. to start <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46716020/trump-is-yet-to-sign-a-trade-deal-with-over-85-of-humanity-here-are-the-major-countries-that-are-ye">paying the tariffs</a>.
Meanwhile, Trump during his Scotland visit admitted to &#8220;real starvation&#8221; in Gaza and urged Israel to allow in &#8220;every ounce of food.&#8221; The U.S. President faces mounting pressure to act as the humanitarian crisis worsens in Gaza, where dozens have died of hunger amid an Israeli blockade that has severely restricted aid, according to the UN and other groups, reported BBC.

Former Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) executive Ka Ling Wu revealed how a 24-hour supply chain demonstration during the early COVID-19 pandemic led to a transformative partnership with Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSN#NYSE">TSN</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">March 2020 Crisis Response</h2>
Wu, now CEO of Y Combinator-backed Upsolve AI, detailed the urgent request from Palantir&#8217;s Head of Commercial in March 2020. &#8220;Can you build a supply chain demo in 24 hours? The McKinsey CEO wants to see it tomorrow,&#8221; Wu recalled in a LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/wukaling_i-got-a-crazy-request-from-the-head-of-commercial-activity-7356292535801053185-1klT?utm_source=social_share_send&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web&amp;rcm=ACoAABrNcZgBQmHrp-Gfd9sPhrmdgRNfYbv-VeU">post</a> on Wednesday.
The timing coincided with COVID-19&#8217;s devastating impact on Italy and global supply chain disruptions. Wu and colleague Serguei Balanovich executed an international all-nighter, working across UK and U.S. time zones to develop the demonstration.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fortune 100 Executive Breakthrough</h2>
The demo&#8217;s success led to presentations with Fortune 100 CEOs facing supply chain collapses. A pivotal moment came during a presentation to Tyson Foods&#8217; Chief Technology Officer, who initially expressed skepticism about the technology&#8217;s capabilities.
&#8220;This is impossible. My IT team has tried for months to read this data,&#8221; the CTO reportedly said. Wu&#8217;s team requested three days to prove otherwise.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Five-Day Supply Chain Mapping Success</h2>
Within five days, Palantir mapped Tyson&#8217;s entire supply chain from raw chicken to processed nuggets, identifying every disruption point. The CTO&#8217;s reaction: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t believe this was possible.&#8221;
This breakthrough project became part of Palantir&#8217;s broader supply chain solutions portfolio, which now includes partnerships with major corporations and has generated significant returns for clients including $200 million in Tyson Foods savings and $40 million in logistics optimization within 120 days.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Impact and Technology Evolution</h2>
Wu&#8217;s experience contributed to Palantir&#8217;s development of HyperAuto, powered by Software-Defined Data Integration (SDDI), where she led a 10-engineer team from 2020-2022. The technology addresses critical data integration challenges across industries.
Palantir shares have surged 489% over 12 months, reaching recent highs above $160. The company&#8217;s supply chain solutions now serve clients globally.

"When I went to work at Goldman Sachs 43 years ago, I thought everyone was so darned smart. They were. But not at the level of a Zuckerberg or a Nadella," he said.
"My head is spinning as I try to take in what they teach. They are extraordinary. Li and Hood are no slouches. So damn proud," he said, referring to Meta CFO Susan Li and Microsoft CFO Amy Hood.

Jim Cramer Says Zuckerberg And Nadella Are Smarter Than His Once Admired Goldman Sachs — 'My Head Is Spinning' After Meta, Microsoft Earnings

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has rolled out its Robotaxi operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, a month after officially launching the service in Austin, Texas.
Check out the current price of<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla"> TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: "Tesla's ride-hailing service is officially live in the Bay Area in their Robotaxi app," influencer Sawyer Merritt said in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday.
The company's serviceable area spans the Golden Gate Bridge in the North and extends South of San Jose. "It would take about 1-2 hours (up to 75 miles) depending on traffic to ride from the top to the bottom of the geofence area," Merritt said in the post.

Why It Matters: The news comes as CEO Elon Musk had shared the target of serving over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46594297/elon-musk-aims-to-deploy-robotaxis-to-serve-half-the-us-population-by-the-end-of-2025-targets-million-optimus-units-annually-as-fast-as-its-humanly-possible">half the population</a> of the U.S. with Tesla robotaxis by the end of 2025 during the company's earnings call. Musk had earlier shared plans to operate Robotaxis in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46643657/tesla-shares-rise-nearly-4-on-bay-area-robotaxi-launch-hopes">the Bay Area</a>.
This also coincides with Morgan Stanley's report, which says that the autonomous driving market in the U.S. could be worth over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46680128/self-driving-cars-could-be-200-billion-market-by-2030-says-morgan-stanley">$200 billion by the year 2030</a> and generate up to $400 billion in revenue by 2035.
However, Tesla could face increased scrutiny as President Donald Trump's pick to lead the NHTSA, Jonathan Morrison, has called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46434613/elon-musks-tesla-could-face-stricter-oversight-as-trumps-nhtsa-pick-targets-autonomous-driving-cannot-sit-back">for tougher oversight</a> on autonomous driving in the U.S.

A new paper from Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) outlines which jobs are most likely to be disrupted by generative AI and which ones are least affected.
What Happened: Last week, Microsoft released a study titled &#8220;Working with AI: Measuring the Occupational Implications of Generative AI.&#8221; The paper identified 40 occupations with high AI applicability—meaning AI can perform a large portion of their tasks—and 40 with low applicability, where AI has minimal impact.
Here is the list of 10 jobs most at risk from AI, and 10 considered most secure:
<figure class="wp-block-table"> 
<table class="has-fixed-layout">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Most at Risk (High AI Applicability Score)</th>
<th>Most Secure (Low AI Applicability Score)</th>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Interpreters and Translators</td>
<td>Phlebotomists</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Historians</td>
<td>Nursing Assistants</td>

Other jobs that are at risk include telemarketers, political scientists, technical writers, news analysts, market research analysts, proofreaders, data scientists, advertising sales agents, management analysts, geographers, library science teachers, and new accounts clerks. Even creative and analytical roles like editors, demonstrators, and postsecondary economics teachers are flagged.
Conversely, jobs involving physical work, manual dexterity, and real-world presence are less exposed. Other low-risk jobs include cement masons, dishwashers, surgical assistants, gas pump operators, pile driver operators, ophthalmic medical technicians, dredge operators, roustabouts, orderlies, bridge and lock tenders, and logging equipment operators.
The report was authored by Kiran Tomlinson, a senior researcher at Microsoft; Sonia Jaffe, a principal researcher at Microsoft; Will Wang, a pre-doctoral research assistant; Scott Counts, a senior principal research manager; and Siddharth Suri, a senior principal researcher at Microsoft.

Why It Matters: The study&#8217;s findings align with the warnings of economist Craig Shapiro, who in June 2025 cautioned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46093421/ai-will-disrupt-25-of-us-jobs-by-2030-and-the-fed-cant-save-them-economist-warns">AI-driven job displacement</a> is creating a structural labor crisis that traditional monetary tools cannot address. With up to 25% of U.S. jobs potentially at risk by 2030, Shapiro called for fiscal and regulatory responses.
However, not everyone shares this pessimistic view.&nbsp;Shyam Sankar, the Chief Technology Officer of&nbsp;Palantir Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), argued that AI is unlocking new levels of creativity and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46593814/palantirs-shyam-shankar-says-ai-wont-kill-jobs-itll-give-blue-collar-workers-superpowers-and-make-them-50x-more-productive">productivity for America&#8217;s workforce</a>, not replacing it.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, has raised concerns over the disruptive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46460054/cathie-wood-says-ai-is-hurting-entry-level-jobs-offers-advice-to-jobseekers-here-is-her-advice-for-those-joining-the-workforce">impact of AI on entry-level jobs</a>, especially for new college graduates, amid rising unemployment.

Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) is actively exploring a significant strategic shift towards developing &#8220;full-end solutions&#8221; and chiplets, potentially moving beyond its traditional intellectual property (IP) licensing model.
Check out the stock price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ARM">Arm over here.</a>
What Happened: This revelation came during the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46740862/arm-holdings-shares-move-lower-following-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-in-line-soft-q2-earnings-guidance">first quarter 2026 earnings</a> call, where CEO Rene Haas indicated the move is driven by the &#8220;insatiable compute demands of AI&#8221; and customer requests for more integrated solutions.
Haas stated, &#8220;We are continuing to explore the possibility of moving beyond our current platform into additional compute to subsystems, chiplets and potentially full-end solutions.&#8221;
He elaborated that the company is &#8220;looking now at the viability of moving beyond the current platform to additional subsystems, chiplets or possibly full solutions,&#8221; emphasizing that Arm possesses the internal expertise needed to &#8220;design, implement and have a chiplet, for example, manufacturing.&#8221;
This signals a potential foray into areas currently dominated by its partners and customers, including major players like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
The strategic exploration is closely tied to Arm&#8217;s surging presence in the AI landscape. The company reported that its Neoverse data center chips are expected to capture &#8220;nearly 50%&#8221; market share among top hyperscalers this year, a dramatic leap from &#8220;sub 20%&#8221; just a year ago.
This growth is fueled by adoption in critical AI infrastructure, including Nvidia Grace Blackwell, Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS Graviton, Alphabet Inc.&#8216;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 Axion, and Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Cobalt.
The integration of Arm designs into high-performance AI systems, such as Nvidia&#8217;s Grace Blackwell, which is &#8220;25x more energy efficient than the previous x86-based system,&#8221; underscores Arm&#8217;s growing influence.

Why It Matters: While a direct entry into chip manufacturing could create new competitive dynamics with its existing clientele, Arm&#8217;s confidence stems from its unique position as the &#8220;only compute platform built to deliver AI performance across the full spectrum of power and performance from milliwatts to megawatts.&#8221;
The company also highlighted the success of its Compute Subsystems (CSS) platforms, which are already delivering &#8220;double the royalty of Armv9&#8221; and exceeding expectations, providing a blueprint for more integrated offerings.
Arm missed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46740862/arm-holdings-shares-move-lower-following-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-in-line-soft-q2-earnings-guidance">first-quarter</a> revenue estimate of $1.055 billion, as its sales came in at $1.053 billion. The adjusted earnings of 35 cents per share were in line with the analyst estimates. &#8211;
Price Action: Arm shares fell 8.56% in after-hours on Wednesday. The stock was up 27.40% year-to-date and 13.29% over the past year.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Arm maintains solid momentum across the short, medium, and long term. However, the stock scores poorly on value rankings.
