Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

These past three months were not what U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mergers-and-acquisitions">dealmakers wanted or expected</a>.
As of April 3, transaction tracker Dealogic showed zero percent growth in U.S.-based M&amp;A volume compared to last year&#8217;s first quarter.
Elsewhere? Volume is spiking triple digits.
<ul>
<li>The Middle East and Africa combined are seeing 123% growth in M&amp;A.</li>
<li>Japan: 105%</li>
<li>Asia: 103%</li>
</ul>
Deal volume is also up in Canada, Europe and Australia. Only in Latin America is it in the red, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/03/44342234/deal-dispatch-trump-ma-boom-is-a-bust-purple-mattress-considers-sale-celtics-auction-heats-up">barely a peep</a> coming from the U.S.
For those keeping track of who correctly predicted this downtrend, don&#8217;t look to Bank of America. After Election Day, the firm&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates">analysts boldly predicted</a> that the then-incoming Trump administration would remove Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan and, presto, the antitrust roadblocks for M&amp;A activity would be removed.
Those analysts were wrong. Just 10 days after Trump&#8217;s inauguration, the U.S. Department of Justice <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/43353124/hewlett-packard-enterprise-shares-fall-as-us-department-of-justice-sues-to-block-juniper-acquisition">sued to block</a> Hewlett Packard Enterprise&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) $14 billion deal to acquire networking gear maker Juniper Networks. In March, Surmodics, Inc.

Those BofA analysts also forgot that the previous Trump administration was not particularly lenient regarding consolidation. AT&amp;T and Time Warner; Sinclair and Tribune Media; Broadcom and Qualcomm; DraftKings and FanDuel — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/25/03/44202239/deal-dispatch-tiktok-walgreens-raizen">all blocked</a>.
On the shiny side, gold-related M&amp;A deals have increased, but transaction sizes are much smaller, Benzinga&#8217;s Stjepan Kalinic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/03/44490949/gold-ma-deals-are-accelerating-but-average-deals-are-smaller-research-shows">wrote this week</a>.

Trader Notes: Santiment data highlighted that China's newly-announced 34% tariffs on U.S. goods have triggered a sharp drop in traditional markets, dragging stocks to 11-month lows. I
Bitcoin and major altcoins have remained relatively steady, showing resilience amid the macro volatility.
While sentiment has leaned slightly bearish since Trump's initial tariff announcement, crypto's stability in the face of escalating global tensions may point to underlying strength — and potential upside if conditions begin to ease.

Echoing that sentiment, crypto trader Ansem <a href="https://x.com/blknoiz06/status/1908197026493587504">remarked</a> after the China news, "and Bitcoin is just chilling in the same spot," underscoring the asset's relative calm.
IncomeSharks drew <a href="https://x.com/IncomeSharks/status/1908191558245257294">attention</a> to Bitcoin's strong green candle and noted that the market has likely absorbed the recent wave of selling. The trader believes crypto now has a real shot at rebounding ahead of stocks — and potentially leading the recovery.
Crypto trader Kevin also <a href="https://x.com/Kev_Capital_TA/status/1908219288801931526">pointed</a> out the timing, emphasizing that Bitcoin is holding in the green while equities continue to bleed. "This definitely hints at a potential capital rotation, or at least a growing narrative shift," he said. He added that the BTC vs. S&amp;P 500 chart will be particularly telling if the divergence persists.
With expectations of monetary easing building and corporate earnings facing pressure, Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed as both a hedge and a speculative opportunity.
It's one of those rare setups, Kevin explained, where "fear plus policy support equals crypto tailwinds." Still, he cautioned that the next few weeks will be critical in determining whether BTC can maintain this strength as equities remain under pressure.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Stay 'Relatively Unharmed' Despite China's Reciprocal Tariffs'

Klarna, a Swedish buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) company, has placed its long-anticipated U.S. public debut on hold, stepping back from its planned initial public offering due to growing market uncertainty triggered by fresh geopolitical tension.
The Swedish fintech firm was preparing to begin promoting its IPO to investors this week but decided to delay the process, citing recent turbulence following the Trump administration's announcement of new tariffs, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-tariffs-trade-war-04-04-2025/card/exclusive-klarna-pauses-planned-ipo-after-trump-tariff-turmoil-NMXYuKXzW6Xv4ao3CSxr?mod=WSJ_home_supertoppermiddle_lctimeline" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wall Street Journal</a> reports on Friday.
Klarna provides payment processing services for the e-commerce industry, managing store claims and customer payments.

The new reciprocal <a target="_blank" href="http://While full reciprocity was floated, Trump said the plan would cap U.S. retaliation at 50% of what foreign nations charge. This includes non-monetary barriers — such as VAT taxes, product bans, subsidies, and technical restrictions — in tariff calculations. &quot;They manipulated their currencies, subsidized exports, stole our intellectual property, imposed exorbitant VAT taxes, and created filthy pollution havens,&quot; Trump said. For instance, Japan, which he said imposes tariffs as high as 46% on some goods, would now face U.S. duties of around 24%. India's 52% rate would translate to a 26% U.S. tariff. &quot;To all of the foreign presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, ambassadors and everyone else who will soon be calling to ask for exemptions from these tariffs,&quot; he said, &quot;I say terminate your own tariffs.

"To all of the foreign presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, ambassadors and everyone else who will soon be calling to ask for exemptions from these tariffs, I say terminate your own tariffs. Drop your barriers. Don't manipulate your currencies," Trump said.
Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor emeritus at the Wharton School, <a target="_blank" href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44648557/trumps-tariffs-could-be-worse-than-smoot-hawley-act-jeremy-siegel-tells-cnbc" rel="noreferrer noopener">delivered a stark warning today</a> regarding President Donald Trump's broad tariff policy, suggesting it could have even more severe consequences than the notorious Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930.
With this background, Klarna isn't the only firm pulling back. Online ticketing platform StubHub has similarly postponed its IPO marketing plans, the WSJ report said.
Klarna's plans included listing on the New York Stock Exchange with a target valuation of $15 billion.
Klarna's U.S. rival, Affirm Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFRM#NASDAQ">AFRM</a>) shares declined 13% today, indicating pressure on Klarna's IPO pricing strategy.

Once A $15 Billion IPO Hope, Swedish Fintech Klarna Plans Daunted By Tariffs

Equifax shares are trading lower after Barclays downgraded the stock from Overweight to Equal-Weight and lowered its price target from $325 to $260.

Better Choice Company shares are trading higher after announcing that one of its acquired companies converted $4 million in debt to equity to strengthen its working capital and cash flow.

Needham analyst Laura Martin reiterated Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) with a Buy rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$260 price target</a> Friday.
Apple stock tanked nearly 10% Thursday, losing about $300 billion of market cap, owing to new tariffs.
Apple stock lost 13.7% in market value over two days, marking its worst drop since January 2013.

SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) lost 7.6% in value for the week, marking its most significant weekly loss since March 2020. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) is down 16% this week, marking its worst performance since the dot-com bust in September 2001.
However, unless Apple gets an exemption, Martin calculated that the iPhone maker&#8217;s EPS would fall by &gt;$2 on an adjusted basis, down 28% from her current fiscal 2025 EPS estimate of $7.32.
By implication, Wall Street is betting there is a 30% chance Apple will get an exemption because President Donald Trump gave the company an exemption in 2018. Also, on Feb. 5, Apple committed to spending $500 billion in the U.S. over 4 years, creating 20,000 new jobs in engineering, R&amp;D, manufacturing, and AI. According to Martin, Apple is the most iconic US brand in the world.
Apple&#8217;s EPS decline of 28% is not the worst case, which would include China retaliating against the U.S. by banning all or some of the company product sales in China, which were 17% of Apple&#8217;s total sales in fiscal 2024.
On Friday, Rosenblatt analyst Barton Crockett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44640656/apple-making-iphones-in-america-a-fantasy-that-sounds-great-behind-the-microphones-says-top-analyst-dan-ives" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimated that Apple</a> could be hit with $39.5 billion in tariff costs. He noted that nearly 100% of iPhones sold in the U.S. are manufactured in China, along with 90% of Macs, 80% of iPads, 90% of Apple Watches, and 35% of AirPods.
Price Action: AAPL stock is down 6.8% at $189.34 at last check Friday.

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.

Expert Outlook: Fox Factory Holding Through The Eyes Of 4 Analysts

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated the Market Perform rating on Guess?, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GES#NYSE">GES</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GES/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with an unchanged price forecast of $13</a>.
Yesterday, the company reported fourth-quarter results, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.48,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44647691/guess-plans-restructuring-strategy-to-fuel-profits-hands-china-operations-to-local-partner" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of $1.38.</a>
Telsey noted that after three uneven quarters and downward adjustments to its annual outlook, Guess? met its revenue expectations in the fourth quarter.
Despite that, lower gross margins and modest expense management led to an operating margin miss, though earnings per share landed within the guidance range thanks to a lower tax rate, the analyst adds.

The company&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Carlos Alberini, said Guess? is sharpening its focus on boosting global direct-to-consumer sales productivity and enhancing profitability by streamlining its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44635906/guess-inc-reports-fiscal-year-2025-fourth-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">business operations and portfolio.</a>
As part of this strategy, the company plans to transition its long-standing direct operations in Greater China to a local partner with strong market experience, noting that discussions with several potential candidates are already underway and the transition is expected to be finalized before the fiscal year ends.
While these steps are promising, Telsey warned that near-term challenges persist, including weaker customer traffic in North America and Asia.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the company projects adjusted diluted loss in the range of 65 cents to 74 cents per share (estimate: 23 cents loss per share).
Looking ahead, Telsey viewed the company&#8217;s sales guidance as solid, with first-quarter estimates aligning with forecasts and the full-year revenue outlook surpassing expectations.
Meanwhile, guidance for operating margins and EPS fell short for both the quarter and the year, reflecting a tough global macroeconomic backdrop, the analyst writes.
The analyst notes that the guidance does not include the incremental tariffs announced this week.
Per Telsey, the tariffs could add further margin pressure—though about 75% of Guess?&#8217;s revenue comes from outside the U.S.
Price Action: GES shares are trading higher by 11.5% to $11.20 at last check Friday.
