Behind the Scenes of Albemarle's Latest Options Trends

<p>According to Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods, <strong>Zillow Group Inc</strong>'s<strong> </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/Z#NASDAQ">Z</a>) housing super app strategy aims to "narrow the gap between its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate">audience share and transaction share</a>. &#8220;</p>
<p><strong>The Zillow</strong><strong> Analyst: </strong>Analyst Ryan Tomasello initiated coverage with a Market Perform rating and price target of $80.</p>
<p><strong>The Zillow Thesis: </strong>While the housing super app strategy aims to increase market coverage from 21% to a target of 75%, should support growth, "management's financial targets appear aggressive at this early stage," Tomasello said in the initiation note.</p>
<p><strong>Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a></strong>.</p>
<p>"On the other hand, we are bullish on Zillow's ability to increase take rates in areas like its direct-to-consumer mortgage strategy, Zillow Home Loans," the analyst wrote. The strategy has the potential "to drive meaningful gains," he added.</p>
<p>Zillow has a mixed track record of monetizing this large audience. As for the housing super app strategy, scalability remains "a show-me story," Tomasello said.</p>
<p>"On the macro front, weak home sales remain a drag on Zillow's business, where the recovery timeline is uncertain," he further wrote.</p>
<p>Zillow competes with well-capitalized competitors, including <strong>News Corp</strong>&#8216;s realtor.com and<strong> CoStar</strong>&#8216;s Homes.com.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> At the time of publication on Friday, shares of Zillow had declined by 2.20% to $68.80.</p>

<p><strong>VirTra INC</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTSI#NASDAQ">VTSI</a>) shares are trading lower Friday after the company reported worse-than-expected fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44384727/virtra-sets-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-conference-call-for-thursday-march-27-2025-at-4-30-p">financial results.</a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know: </strong>The company's revenue for the fourth quarter fell to $5.4 million, a 50% decline from the previous year's $10.9 million. Full-year revenue for 2024 also dropped by 32% to $26.4 million. Net income for the quarter turned negative, with a reported loss of $0.9 million compared to a $3.5 million profit in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was negative $1.8 million, reflecting ongoing financial pressures.</p>
<p>Despite the revenue decline, VirTra highlighted a 37% sequential increase in fourth-quarter bookings to $12.2 million and an expanding backlog that reached $22 million by year-end. The company attributed the revenue shortfall to federal budget delays that slowed contract execution and order conversion. Management noted that while bookings showed improvement, many contracts were signed too late in the quarter to be reflected in fourth-quarter revenue.</p>
<p>CEO <strong>John Givens</strong> acknowledged the challenges posed by federal funding uncertainties but emphasized the company's efforts to engage with policymakers to improve funding access for law enforcement agencies. VirTra is also advancing military initiatives, including its work on the U.S. Army's Integrated Visual Augmentation System program, which was completed ahead of schedule.</p>
<p>The company maintains a cash position of $18 million and believes its growing backlog positions it well for future revenue growth. </p>
<p><strong>VTSI Price Action:</strong> Virtra shares were down 15.3% at $4.370 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a></p>

<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind Snap</h2>
<p>Snap is a technology company best known for its marquis social media application Snapchat, a visual messaging application that has amassed hundreds of millions of users. The app was initially only used to communicate with family and friends through photographs and short videos (known as "Snaps"). Users can now enjoy augmented reality, or AR, lenses, content from famous creators and celebrities, updates about local events, and more. Although the app offers a paid subscription option with premium features, advertising sales produce most of the app's revenue. The firm also sells wearable devices called AR Spectacles, which can capture photos and videos overlayed with AR lenses, but these make up a small portion of Snap's overall sales.</p>

<p>Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.</p>

The Analyst Verdict: Snap In The Eyes Of 11 Experts

<p>The Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation came in hotter than expected on Friday. Experts are weighing in on how the latest data could affect<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44535109/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-rises-more-than-expected-in-february-casting-doubt-on-near-term-rate-cuts"> the road ahead.&nbsp;</a></p>
<p><strong>The Details:</strong> The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose 2.5% year-over-year, matching January's reading and economist forecasts of 2.5%. On a monthly basis, headline PCE rose 0.3%, in line with estimates.</p>
<p>However, core PCE climbed 2.8% from a year ago, up slightly from January&#8217;s 2.7% and above economists' expectations of 2.7%.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Bill Adams</strong>, chief economist for Comerica Bank, said that February's spending data confirms a slowdown in consumer activity in the first quarter of 2025 and predicted that real GDP will be slower in the quarter as well.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Federal Reserve is in a tight spot with interest rates as the economy appears to be slowing and inflation is likely to pick back up in 2025.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"If tariffs rise on April 2 as pledged, inflation will accelerate in coming months," Adams said.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Joseph Brusuelas</strong>, chief economist for RSM, said that "inflation improvement has stalled out" and warned about tariffs and trade policies affecting the economic data ahead.&nbsp;</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><br />
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">February PCE Price Index: inflation improvement has stalled out. The notion of stubborn and sticky inflation is the primary narrative here in advance of the greater trade shock that will show up in the hard data in coming months. The second round effects are going to be key here…</p>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
<p></p></figure></p>
<p><strong>Jeffrey Roach</strong>, chief economist for LPL Financial, highlighted February's core PCE index as the hottest print in more than a year and said the savings rate rose to 4.6%, as consumers grow more cautious about the future.</p>
<p>Roach sees income growth as supporting the economy for now, but sees trouble ahead if income growth slows.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Stable real disposable income growth will likely provide a buffer for the economy nervous about a trade war and sticky inflation. But if income growth falters, the economy will be at greater risk," he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Markets React: </strong>All three major indexes were down sharply in midday trading Friday as markets digest the PCE data and worse-than-expected consumer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44537936/consumer-inflation-expectations-skyrocket-in-march-hit-highest-levels-in-32-years">sentiment survey</a> released earlier in the day.&nbsp;President <strong>Donald Trump&#8217;s</strong> tariffs continue to roil markets with more expected next week. </p>
