Reuters Citing Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz Saying, Iran Crossed Red Lines By Launching Missiles Towards Israeli Civilian Areas, Tehran Will Pay A Heavy Price

BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) CEO Larry Fink says Americans need a mindset shift about retirement—but his comments are likely to hit differently depending on how close you are to 65 with little to no savings.
In a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/26/cnbc-transcript-blackrock-chairman-ceo-larry-fink-speaks-with-cnbcs-jim-cramer-on-mad-money-today.html">March 2024 appearance on CNBC's "Mad Money"</a>, Fink sat down with host Jim Cramer to talk about inflation, energy policy, and a topic most billionaires rarely touch so directly: the future of retirement.
Cramer pointed out the brutal truth: "They're <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45110267/a-worker-says-weve-been-sold-a-lie-work-like-a-dog-until-65-just-to-enjoy-maybe-10-15-years-of-freedom">going to work until they die</a>, Larry."

</ul>
Fink didn't argue with that. In fact, he doubled down—with a twist of optimism.
"Unfortunately, they have… but here's the blessing. I just said we're all going to live longer. That's a massive blessing," he said. "Most people in this country do not have backbreaking jobs, like we had 50, 100, 200 years ago. What is wrong about working longer, OK? We have to change our psyche."
That "so what" framing—coming from a man whose company manages over $10 trillion in assets—isn't just a throwaway comment. It's the <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/corporate/investor-relations/larry-fink-annual-chairmans-letter">crux of his annual letter</a> to shareholders earlier this year, which urged Americans and policymakers to get serious about long-term investing. And it's grounded in numbers that speak for themselves: 57 million Americans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41075540/is-your-401-k-balance-above-average-find-out-if-youre-beating-most-savers">don't have a retirement plan at all</a>, according to Fink. That's nearly one in four working adults with no safety net.
Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.&nbsp;
To Fink, the solution lies not in panic, but in perspective.
"Every human being needs a purpose," he said. "And most people find purpose in their job, in their family. And it's a balancing act… The key is putting that money to work. It's not keeping money in a bank account. It's about the compounding of a return."
But Cramer challenged the feasibility of that plan in today's economy: "How are they supposed to pay rent if they're saving?" he asked, listing sky-high food prices, college debt, and rising living costs as obstacles.
Fink didn't disagree. "Life is full of trade-offs," he said. "And if you don't have enough for your rent, obviously, you're not going to save for retirement."
Still, Fink believes too many Americans avoid the topic entirely, especially younger ones. "We put it under the table because it's not today's problem. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43076826/how-does-your-nest-egg-stack-up-heres-what-it-takes-to-be-in-the-top-10-of-retirement-savers">Building a nest egg</a> takes 30, 40 years."

And that timeline is already in motion. According to Cerulli Associates, roughly $124 trillion in wealth will be transferred through 2048—$105 trillion of that headed to heirs. That's a massive shift, but only for those already positioned to receive it. For millions of others, the reality looks far more uncertain.
Fink's take? Talking about retirement—openly, often, and with a long view—isn't optional anymore.
"We were in a lucky era," he said. "But we were the foundation of growth as an economy… If we start really building… we're going to create a lot of jobs. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45710102/robert-reich-says-ceo-pay-is-up-1085-since-1978-worker-pay-up-only-24-asks-why-is-it-always-we-cant-afford-workers-but-never-ceos">And wages are going up</a>."
Whether that's enough to close the gap for millions with no retirement plan is still up for debate. But one thing is clear: the billionaire CEO of BlackRock wants Americans to prepare for longer lives by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45534539/social-security-full-retirement-age-shift-means-filing-at-62-could-chop-your-check-by-30-what-every-worker-born-in-1960-or-later-must-know">embracing longer work lives too</a>—whether they're ready for that message or not.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Agrees People May Work Until They Die But Asks What's Wrong With That? — Most Jobs Aren't 'Backbreaking' Like 50 Years Ago

Reuters Citing Statement Says Saudi Crown Prince, U.S. President Trump Discuss In Phone Call Regional Developments Including Israeli Strikes On Iran; Discuss Importance Of Restraint, De-Escalation, And Resolving All Disputes Through Diplomatic Means To Achieve Stability In Middle East

Shares of Indonesia Energy Corp Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INDO#NASDAQ">INDO</a>) are trading sharply higher Friday afternoon as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East propel crude oil prices to multi-year highs. 
Thursday&#8217;s Israeli strikes on Iran have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45922022/trump-issues-stark-warning-to-iran-to-make-a-deal-after-israels-strikes-on-nuclear-sites-just-do-it-before-its-too-late">ignited fears</a> of a wider regional conflict, threatening to disrupt global oil supplies and creating a bullish environment for energy producers.
What To Know: West Texas Intermediate crude futures saw a dramatic spike early Friday, briefly touching $77.50 a barrel before settling. This surge marks oil&#8217;s most substantial weekly gain since October 2022, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45924154/the-120-oil-shock-just-became-a-real-risk-are-we-back-in-2022">analysts</a> from ING suggesting prices could soar to $120 per barrel if the vital Strait of Hormuz is impacted. 
As an oil and gas exploration company with operations in Indonesia, INDO could be well-positioned to benefit from the sustained increase in energy prices.

The market&#8217;s reaction has been swift Friday, with investors flocking to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45924154/the-120-oil-shock-just-became-a-real-risk-are-we-back-in-2022">energy equities</a> amid the uncertainty. The potential for a prolonged supply crunch has heightened the value of companies with established production and exploration assets. 
For Indonesia Energy, the sharp rise in oil prices could directly boost its revenue prospects, fueling the recent rally in its stock as traders anticipate stronger future earnings.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, Indonesia Energy Corporation is up 54% to $5.45 Friday afternoon on massive session volume of over 30 million shares, dwarfing its 100-day average volume of approximately 375,000 shares.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy INDO Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Indonesia Energy Corp&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, INDO has a 52-week high of $5.88 and a 52-week low of $2.06.

Indonesia Energy (INDO) Stock Surges 50% As Middle East Tensions Drive Oil Prices Higher

Reuters Citing IAEA Chief Rafael Mariano Grossi Tells Security Council, Above Ground Plant Where Iran Was Producing Uranium Enriched Up To 60% Uranium Has Been Destroyed; No Indication Of Attack On Underground Enrichment Halls At Natanz But Attack On Power Supply May Have Damaged Centrifuges; There Is Radiological And Chemical Contamination Inside Facilities At Natanz

U.S. stocks retreated Friday as geopolitical tensions erupted following Israel's surprise airstrike on Iranian nuclear sites, sparking a sharp rally<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/guidance/25/06/45928561/gold-biggest-boom-in-decades-and-investors-are-still-missing-out"> in oil and gold.</a>
Crude futures surged to $77 a barrel overnight before easing to $72.24 by midday—still up 5% on the session—as fears grew over potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global oil flows.
Equity volatility spiked, with the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) – also known as the market &#8220;fear index&#8221; – rocketed 10% by midday, yet trimming an even bigger jump at the open. 
Gold climbed past $3,430 an ounce, rising over 1% and putting record highs near $3,500 into potential target. The U.S. dollar halted the bleeding as risk sentiment deteriorated globally.
President Donald Trump said he had given Iran a 60-day ultimatum "to make a deal," adding they may now have a "second chance." A scheduled U.S.-Iran meeting on Sunday is uncertain.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the strikes would continue until Iran's nuclear threat is removed, while Tehran vowed retaliation.
Meanwhile, U.S. consumer sentiment rebounded strongly in June to 60.5 from 52.2, beating expectations. One-year inflation expectations dropped to 5.1% from 6.6%.
Despite the risk-off mood, longer-dated Treasury yields rose by 8 basis points—an unusual move suggesting persistent concerns around U.S. fiscal risks. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) sunk 1.6%, its worst session in over three weeks. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slipped 0.6% to $105,000, suffering as risk sentiment fades.

Reuters Citing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Says We Have Taken Out A Large Portion Of Iran's Ballistic Missile Arsenal

There's never a dull moment in the Elon Musk Cinematic Universe. Still, the story took an even more dramatic turn last week when the Tesla CEO engaged in a high-profile <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better">social media spat</a> with the President of the United States.
While Trump and Musk&#8217;s relationship always seemed destined for a turbulent end, both men took to their respective social media networks to burn bridges and reduce them to smoldering embers.
Lots was said, and many threats were made. Musk has since deleted his most inflammatory accusations, but Trump has shown no sign of wanting to forgive and forget.
We won't get into the personal attacks except to say that during the peak of the fight, Trump threatened to cut funding to SpaceX and Musk's other companies. At the same time, Musk threatened to decommission the vital Dragon spacecraft. Musk has ramped up attacks on Trump's signature tax bill, which is currently floating through Congress, calling it (amongst other things) bloated and pork-riddled for adding more than $2 trillion to the deficit. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Summer "Power Patterns" About to Trigger (One With 90% Win Rate)</h2>
For the last decade, these 3 "Power Patterns" have delivered winning trades during the summer &#8211; one an astonishing 90% of the time. Now, they're firing up again over the next 75 days. Want a 30-year veteran trader to show you how to play them? See <a href="https://events2.benzinga.com/power-pattern-profits-live/?utm_campaign=power-pattern-registration&amp;utm_adType=sponsorad&amp;utm_ad=RD061425&amp;he={{email}}&amp;adt_ei={{email}}&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;el=ResearchDaily">HERE</a> How a Master Trader Plays These "Power Patterns"
Caught in the middle of this high-profile feud are thousands of employees and investors who now have no idea which way the wind is blowing. How legitimate are the threats to cut Musk's funding? How many of the unfriendly clean energy provisions in the new tax bill will make it into the final version? With the broader market strong, plenty of stocks are not at risk of losing 10% on a social media post, so there's no need to pick a side in this fight. Here are two securities with ties to Elon Musk to avoid until this grudge blows over.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is finally moving forward with the release of its RoboTaxi. Still, despite the hype surrounding this, Tesla will be playing catch-up to Google's Waymo for the foreseeable future. In the here and now, TSLA stock faces significant headwinds from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Trump is eager to get through Congress. The bill would significantly alter the EV landscape by adding or eliminating the following:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The $7,500 tax credit for new EVs under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D would be phased out, as would the $4,000 tax credit for used EVs under Section 25E. The phaseout could begin as early as next year.</li>
<li>A new annual registration tax of $250 on EVs and $100 on hybrids for the Highway Trust Fund. This provision is seen as making EV owners pay their fair share for road use as they use less gas and, therefore, pay less in taxes for highway maintenance.</li>
<li>Cancellation of provisions in the Zero-Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) program allowing the sale or transfer of clean energy tax credits. Tesla earns approximately $2 billion annually from selling tax credits and has generated revenue from clean energy tax credit transfers since 2014.</li>
<li>Repeal of Section 30C tax credits for charging and alternative fuel infrastructure. This provision could significantly hinder the rollout of Tesla charging stations, which enable the company to generate revenue from non-Tesla electric vehicles.</li>
<li>Repeal of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) subsidies for battery production and clean energy infrastructure, which could affect Tesla products like the Powerwall and Megapack batteries, as well as its solar panels</li>
</ul>
Musk is right to be concerned about the bill's additions to the deficit, but dismantling EV incentives likely rankles him the most. Tesla sales have been plummeting across Europe due to Musk's political meddling. Chinese automakers like BYD have now eclipsed Tesla's EV market share in China. The daily stock chart doesn't look too enticing either.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcSW5P2_Pvw6ONOBFvU42FVj38ez-zCcdd4nNPe-5y5qGNHEUZjb9Mznky386Za8aQk8EDjbL1KccePR7MYKJLmmOwbVZ3kpCclLcC3YJ_fnKUUJ_CACV0tHiNjmcUnY9AKO1perQ?key=fL2L8pcvc-LUhE7EbVcTrw" alt="" /></figure>
The stock's May rally appeared to be hitting a wall in June before the jousting with Trump entered the public eye as shares declined for eight consecutive sessions before breaking the streak on Monday. However, Monday's close puts the stock at the 200-day moving average, which could serve as resistance, given that the 50-day is still trading below the 200-day. The MACD also shows crumbling momentum, indicating that traders are starting to look for greener pastures. A successful RoboTaxi rollout (or the survival of some EV tax credits) could trigger another round of upward momentum. Still, the short-term prognosis for TSLA shares doesn't look promising.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Destiny Tech 100 ETF&nbsp;</h2>
The Destiny Tech 100 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DYYZ#NASDAQ">DYYZ</a>) sounds like an Elon Musk venture, but he has no hand in running this one. Instead, the Destiny Tech 100 is an innovative new closed-end ETF that seeks to provide private startup access to non-accredited investors. Usually, to invest in pre-IPO firms (like Musk's SpaceX), you need to be an accredited investor. This leaves private shares primarily in the hands of venture capital firms and high-net-worth individuals. The DXYZ fund allows anyone with a brokerage account to gain exposure to private startups like SpaceX, OpenAI, Stripe, Klarna, Discord, and more. The fund aims to hold shares in 100 private companies eventually but currently owns shares in just 22. As of this writing, over 54% of the fund's assets are tied up in SpaceX shares, including Class A, Class C, and Preferred Stock share classes. The fund being heavily invested in SpaceX presents a significant risk to investors, as Trump threatens the $15 billion in federal contracts currently on the books with Musk's space exploration firm.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXci6C-nGZLbr4piPPSkqraXBHnR9zmVMENoSmWzRsbVBMw8hVPHZVYCLsZs4qxuRfI14E5Xfj5_2A3bUoYFhhVtbs_C4l1R3D7VKuOxcs2pZ-ERMguI19QTQf_BGjlQgaBXiS6HDw?key=fL2L8pcvc-LUhE7EbVcTrw" alt="" /></figure>
DYXZ has a market cap of just over $465 million and trades about 700,000 shares daily on average. It also charges a 2.5% management fee, which reduces investors&#8217; profits more than a typical thematic ETF. The fund debuted on the New York Stock Exchange in March 2024 at $25 per share and quickly reached $60 before plummeting to under $10 by October. Volatility has been the name of the game since, with shares rallying to new all-time highs and then taking a 50% haircut within the span of a few months. The current trend appears to be breaking down, as the price took out a multi-week support level the day Trump and Musk began fighting; the MACD shows momentum continuing to erode. 
Another potential headwind here is the revival of the IPO market, as one of the key appeals of DXYZ is its ability to provide access to companies that are not available to retail investors. That advantage could fade if more exciting private firms begin to move forward with public offerings.

2 Stocks To Avoid With Musk Out Of Trump's Favor

<a href="https://x.com/BarakRavid/status/1933603155356332208" title="https://x.com/BarakRavid/status/1933603155356332208">https://x.com/BarakRavid/status/1933603155356332208</a>

Barak Ravid Global Affairs Correspondent For Axios Posts On X "Senior US official: US is helping Israel intercept Iranian missiles. There are hundreds of thousands of American citizens and other American assets in Israel and we are working to protect them"

In a world where passive investing tends to dominate the headlines, T. Rowe Price is gambling on an alternative formula: sector-focused active management, and at lower costs. 
The company debuted three <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">new actively managed ETFs</a>, each focusing on a distinct portion of the equity market. The T. Rowe Price Financials ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFNS#NASDAQ">TFNS</a>), Health Care ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMED#NASDAQ">TMED</a>), and Natural Resources ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TURF#NASDAQ">TURF</a>) were listed on June 12, providing individual investors diversified, research-based access to high-impact industries.
Each fund applies T. Rowe's signature bottom-up, fundamental research approach, investing across market caps and using both value and growth strategies to pick stocks.

Here&#8217;s a quick look under the hood:
TFNS holds 50–70 stocks spanning banks, insurers, fintechs, REITs, and exchanges — basically, if it moves money, it's fair game.
TMED is a deep dive into healthcare innovation, with 100–150 holdings in biotech, pharma, life sciences and medical devices.
TURF burrows down into global natural resource firms, with 60–80 names connected to energy, metals, mining and ag. It&#8217;s co-managed by five specialists in various commodity sub-sectors.
Each of the three ETFs incurs an expense ratio of 0.44%, striking a balance between passive cheap and hedge fund steep.

Trader Notes: ByBit partner Justin Bennett noted that after failing to hold the $106,600 level on Thursday, Bitcoin could either pull back or enter a consolidation phase on Friday. He expects a potential weekend rally into the $106,000–$107,000 range, a move he describes as "typical retail behavior." 
However, Bennett warns that BTC may revisit the $100,000 lows soon after. If Bitcoin manages a high-timeframe breakout above $107,000, this bearish scenario would be invalidated.

Michael van de Poppe <a href="https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1933583899046625713">offered</a> a more optimistic take, pointing to Bitcoin's strong daily close despite heightened volatility. He sees it as a bullish continuation signal, implying that upward momentum likely isn&#8217;t exhausted yet.
Ted Pillows <a href="https://x.com/TedPillows/status/1933562044906643910">added</a> macro context, observing that while many are panicking over a 3%–5% dip, global M2 money supply is surging to all-time highs across major economies. With liquidity expanding rapidly, Bitcoin may be poised to catch up and rally in response.
Henry aka LordOfAlts emphasized Bitcoin&#8217;s resilience, stating the market has likely entered an accumulation phase. He believes recent price action reflects healthy corrections rather than a trend reversal. "Any breakdowns could be fakeouts," he said, encouraging traders to stay patient. His next short-term target for Bitcoin is $135,000.

Archer Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>) shares are trading lower Friday afternoon after the company announced it has completed a capital raise of $850 million.
What To Know: The company says the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45918926/archer-raises-850m-following-white-house-executive-order-to-accelerate-u-s-evtol-rollout-cementing">capital raise</a> comes amid the White House&#8217;s recent executive order to establish an eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. This initiative aims to accelerate the deployment of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft within the United States.
Archer plans to work closely with the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration to integrate this program with its own expansion plans. The company is the Official Air Taxi Provider for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45473737/archer-aviation-achr-stock-soars-on-la28-olympics-deal-strong-earnings">LA 28 Olympic Games</a> and Team USA.

CEO Adam Goldstein hailed the executive order as a &#8220;seminal moment,&#8221; emphasizing that Archer now possesses the strongest balance sheet in the sector. The company&#8217;s pro forma liquidity now stands at approximately $2 billion. 
This new capital, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45918926/archer-raises-850m-following-white-house-executive-order-to-accelerate-u-s-evtol-rollout-cementing">raised</a> through the sale of 85 million shares at $10.00 each, will fund general corporate purposes, the build-out of commercial infrastructure and the development of an AI-based aviation software platform. Next week, Archer says the company will showcase its &#8220;Midnight&#8221; aircraft at the Paris Air Show.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ACHR stock is trading lower by 14.8% at $9.99 Friday afternoon. The session&#8217;s volume was approximately 87 million million shares, significantly above its 100-day average of 28.52 million. Short interest in the stock stands at 14.16% of the float.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy ACHR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Archer Aviation&#8217;s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from Benzinga Pro, ACHR has a 52-week high of $13.92 and a 52-week low of $2.82.

Sea Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Shares of Primo Brands Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRMB#NYSE">PRMB</a>) have been under pressure following soggy spring weather that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/beverages">dampened bottled water sales</a> across key regions, such as the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
BofA Securities analyst Peter T. Galbo reiterated the Buy rating on Primo <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PRMB/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $42.</a>
Galbo notes that cooler and wetter weather in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, especially over Memorial Day weekend, hurt demand.
With summer heat arriving, Galbo sees potential for a rebound in demand—especially for regional powerhouses like Poland Spring and Deer Park—as favorable forecasts shift momentum.
The analyst also introduced a new summer weather tracker for the company, which will be updated regularly given that the second and third quarters account for roughly 53% of annual sales, and biweekly NielsenIQ scanner data offers timely insights.
Also Read:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45655641/primo-brands-coverage-initiated-analyst-sees-ebitda-gains-from-cost-cuts-bottled-water-momentum" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Primo Brands Coverage Initiated: Analyst Sees EBITDA Gains From Cost Cuts, Bottled Water Momentum</a>
Since bottled water consumption closely tracks temperature and rainfall, Galbo plans to highlight key weather trends from the prior week and include National Oceanic &amp; Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA forecasts for the week ahead.
The analyst highlights that Nielsen scanner data for the week ending May 31, showed a 3.7% year-over-year decline in retail volumes for Primo Brands in May.
The drop was largely driven by an 8.4% slide in Poland Spring sales, a brand sold only in the Northeast. Record rainfall, including the third-wettest May since 1895 with 6.6 inches of precipitation (per NOAA), likely hurt demand.
Galbo predicts that Nielsen data for the week ending June 7 will show a sequential improvement in year-over-year sales trends for Poland Spring and Deer Park.
Warmer and drier-than-usual weather across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic/South should support a rebound from the prior week&#8217;s sharp declines of -18.6% and -9.3%, respectively.
Galbo notes that NOAA&#8217;s latest forecast calls for higher-than-normal temperatures across much of the U.S., particularly in the Southeast and Southwest—key regions for brands like Deer Park, Ozarka, Arrowhead, and Zephyrhills.
Heavier rainfall is expected in parts of the South and Upper Midwest. This could weigh on Ozarka and Ice Mountain sales. Meanwhile, arid conditions in the West may benefit Arrowhead.
