Following President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s victory, top tech executives have congratulated him and expressed their willingness to work with his administration.

Zuckerberg also took to Threads, and acknowledged Trump&#8217;s &#8220;decisive victory.&#8221; He also expressed optimism about future opportunities.
Earlier in September, Trump said Zuckerberg told him during a call after the July assassination attempt that he will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785288/did-mark-zuckerberg-really-say-no-way-i-can-vote-for-a-democrat-in-this-election-to-trump">not vote for a Democrat</a> in this election. However, a Meta spokesperson denied this, stating that Zuckerberg has not endorsed either Trump or Kamala Harris.

On the other hand, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, a prominent supporter of Vice President Harris' campaign, while acknowledging Trump&#8217;s win, urged Americans to unite.
&#8220;I—and many others—raised alarms about the anti-democratic actions Donald Trump took during his first Presidency, and has promised to take this next time,&#8221; he said in a post on X, adding that Trump's supporters assured him that such behavior wouldn't continue.

Why It Matters: Previously, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41755274/trump-win-could-hinder-tech-ev-sector-growth-slow-the-pace-of-ai-revolution-analyst">technology investors are concerned</a> that Trump&#8217;s presidency could lead to higher tariffs, straining U.S.-China relations and disrupting the tech supply chain.
Companies like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Apple, and Tesla may face retaliation from China. Analysts also fear that the President-elect&#8217;s administration could slow the AI revolution.
GOP sweep of the White House and Congress could boost the stock market but negatively impact Big Tech, the analysts have stated.
Trump&#8217;s presidency could also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41781921/what-does-trumps-victory-mean-for-ev-giant-tesla-and-the-big-3-automakers">hurt the broader EV market</a> due to the loss of tax incentives. However, Tesla's size and position could provide an edge, as higher tariffs could limit competition from Chinese companies like BYD and Nio.
During Trump's first term, many tech leaders openly opposed him, resigning from advisory councils and challenging his policies.
However, they faced consequences, including Amazon's claim that it lost a $10 billion Pentagon contract due to Trump's alleged personal vendetta against Bezos, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/technology/trump-musk-ai-crypto.html">reported</a> the New York Times.
This time, tech leaders are taking a different approach. Some, like Zuckerberg, who Trump threatened to put in jail, began aligning with the President-elect before the election. Former critics, including Bezos, have refrained from public criticism, the report noted.

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock&#39;s recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the &#39;long&#39; context, investors will essentially be &quot;buying high, but hoping to sell even higher.&quot; And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock&#39;s price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.
Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Box (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/box#NYSE">BOX</a>), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.
It&#39;s also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Box currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period.
<h2>Set to Beat the Market?</h2>
Let&#39;s discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for BOX that show why this online storage provider shows promise as a solid momentum pick.
A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.
For BOX, shares are up 14.51% over the past week while the Zacks Internet - Software industry is down 0.23% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 20.19% compares favorably with the industry&#39;s 1.42% performance as well.
While any stock can see a spike in price, it takes a real winner to consistently outperform the market. Over the past quarter, shares of Box have risen 26.51%, and are up 26.21% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&amp;P 500 has only moved 3.12% and 23.92%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to BOX&#39;s average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. BOX is currently averaging 2,399,009 shares for the last 20 days.
<h2>Earnings Outlook</h2>
The Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with BOX.
Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost BOX&#39;s consensus estimate, increasing from $1.57 to $1.63 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 3 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.
<h2>Bottom Line</h2>
Taking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that BOX is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you&#39;ve been searching for a fresh pick that&#39;s set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Box on your short list.

Box Is Up 14.51% in One Week: What You Should Know

Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly received public endorsements from eighty-eight current and former top executives across corporate America for her presidential bid.
What Happened: In an endorsement letter, shared exclusively with CNBC, suggests that electing Harris as president would be the &#8220;best way to support the continued strength, security, and reliability of our democracy and economy.&#8221; The endorsers believe that Harris would &#8220;continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a sound business environment.&#8221;
The list of endorsers includes high-profile CEOs of public companies like Aaron Levie of Box Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOX#NYSE">BOX</a>), Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YELP#NYSE">YELP</a>), and Michael Lynton, chairman of Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>), CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/06/harris-endorsed-trump-murdoch-yelp-snap-ripple.html">reported</a> on Friday.
Other notable figures endorsing Harris for the first time include James Murdoch, former CEO of 21st Century Fox (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>), and Chris Larsen, co-founder of the Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>). The list also includes prominent philanthropists, private equity billionaires, and sports magnates.

Why It Matters: The endorsement from these business leaders comes at a crucial time as Harris has recently proposed several tax reforms that have stirred discussions in the business community. Harris announced a plan to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40650939/kamala-harris-wants-to-tax-the-ultra-wealthy-with-unrealized-gains-tax-leaving-silicon-valley-unsett">tax the ultra-wealthy</a> through an unrealized gains tax, causing unease among Silicon Valley investors. 
Additionally, Harris has proposed raising the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40451351/kamala-harris-wants-to-raise-corporate-tax-rate-to-28-erasing-part-of-trumps-signature-tax-cuts">corporate tax rate</a> to 28%, rolling back part of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s 2017 tax cuts. This proposal was revealed on Aug. 19 and aims to increase federal revenue.
On Sep. 4, Harris unveiled a new tax plan targeting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40722526/kamala-harris-reveals-28-capital-gains-tax-for-high-earners-toning-down-bidens-proposed-rates-ahead">long-term capital gains</a>, setting the rate at 28% for high earners. This move is seen as a softer approach compared to President Joe Biden&#8216;s previously proposed rates. 
Moreover, Harris has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40113420/mark-cuban-and-other-venture-capitalists-pledge-support-for-kamala-harris-whos-on-the-list"> already received support</a> from notable venture capitalists, including LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and others.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on Box, Raises Price Target to $34

RBC Capital analyst Rishi Jaluria reiterated Box Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOX#NYSE">BOX</a>) with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BOX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">an Underperform rating</a> and a $21&nbsp;price target following Tuesday&#8217;s second-quarter print.
Box reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40588205/box-shares-climb-after-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat-guidance-above-estimates" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter&nbsp;revenue</a> of $270.04 million, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $269.18 million. Adjusted EPS of $0.44 beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.40.
Box expects third-quarter revenue of $274.00 million &#8211; $276.00 million, versus the $270.97 million estimate, and adjusted EPS of $0.41 &#8211; $0.42, versus the $0.39 estimate.
The company expects fiscal year 2025 revenue of $1.086 billion &#8211; $1.090 billion, versus the $1.079 billion estimate, and adjusted EPS of $1.64 &#8211; $1.66, versus the $1.57 estimate.
Jaluria noted that second-quarter revenue was roughly in line, while billings were better but benefiting a bit from early renewals. Macro conditions remained stable, the analyst said. Fiscal 2025 revenue and billings guidance increased on a constant currency basis while margins were roughly unchanged, according to Jaluria&#8217;s estimate.
Finally, the analyst said NRR improved one point, driven by higher effective pricing as AI features begin to drive higher tier upgrades.
The price target of $21 reflects an 11x Enterprise Value/Free Cash Flow multiple to Jaluria&#8217;s calendar 2025 estimate of $336 million. The target multiple is a discount to the peer group, which the analyst noted as justified by the risk of commodification, competition, international slowdown, and execution track record.
Jaluria projects third-quarter revenue of $275 million and adjusted EPS of $0.41. The analyst expects fiscal 2025 revenue of $1.088 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.64.

Box's Revenue Guidance Raises Concerns Amid Competitive Pressures, Says Analyst

Wall Street faces a wave of risk-off sentiment on Wednesday, as traders adopt a cautious stance ahead of NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) earnings, which are set to be released <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/08/40604296/nvidias-next-earnings-report-could-swing-its-market-cap-by-300-billion-and-increase-the-s-p-500-gai">after the market close.</a>
At midday trading in New York, all major equity indices were in the red, weighed down by broad declines in chipmakers and tech stocks.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) fell 2%, underperforming the broader tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, down 1.1%. 
The CBOE Volatility Index or VIX, a key barometer of the fear in the market, rose 8%. 
As the last of the Magnificent Seven megacaps to report earnings, Nvidia&#8217;s results are viewed as a crucial indicator of whether the recent market rebound has more room to run, potentially pushing toward new all-time highs, or if it&#8217;s time for investors to dial back risk.
Key metrics to watch include whether Nvidia surpasses the projected $28.7 billion in quarterly revenue — a staggering 156% increase from the same quarter last year — and $0.645 earnings per share, more than triple from the same period in 2022. 
Nvidia&#8217;s forward guidance will also be critical, as investors seek insight into the demand for its leading AI-related chips and any challenges posed by China.
In a significant achievement during Wednesday&#8217;s session, Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) reached <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40604676/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-breaks-1-trillion-poll-points-to-big-pharma-not-tech-as-next-cont">the milestone of a $1 trillion market valuation.</a>
The U.S. dollar is showing a modest recovery, up 0.4% after closing Tuesday at its lowest level since July 2023. Treasury yields remain stable, while gold is struggling, down 0.6%, with silver experiencing a sharper 2% decline.
Oil prices continue to fall, with WTI crude down 1.3%, as traders unload the risk premium amid easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and less concerning Libyan production disruptions than initially feared.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remains under pressure, down 1% to $58,850, following a more than 7% decline over the past two sessions.

RBC Capital Reiterates Underperform on Box, Maintains $21 Price Target

As of Aug 28, 2024, two stocks in the information technology sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.

When compared to a stock&#8217;s price action, it can give traders a better sense of how a stock may perform in the short term.

Sentiment on Wall Street could be guarded until Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40585459/nvidia-stock-q2-earnings-preview-analyst-says-ai-cycle-far-from-over-company-has-fi">earnings are in the rearview mirror. </a>The index futures are barely holding up early Wednesday. Given the absence of any major catalyst, stocks could tread water and could move about listlessly. That said, the retail space could see some strength, encouraged by Nordstrom, Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JWN#NYSE">JWN</a>) earnings, while some positive tech earnings could bolster sentiment toward that space.
Market strategist Ed Yardeni said in Yardeni Research&#8217;s weekly preview that Nvidia earnings are a function of AI investments by mostly other large-cap tech companies, making the AI stalwart the fulcrum of not only the AI trade but a big portion of the entire stock market rally. &#8220;Nvidia&#8217;s earnings will begin to be supported by rising demand from other tech and many non-tech companies in the S&amp;P 493,&#8221; he said.

Cues From Last Session 
U.S. stocks meandered back and forth across the unchanged line on Tuesday before ending higher, with IT stocks providing the thrust. After a negative start, the indices recovered after a report showed consumer confidence rose to the highest since February amid an improvement in inflation expectations. The averages went about in a listless manner and yet had enough momentum to close in the green.
The Dow Industrials scaled a fresh closing high, although the 30-stock blue-chip average could not break above its intraday high. The S&amp;P 500 inched further toward its record close of 5,667.20 hit on July 16, while small-caps fell for a second straight session following their recent runup.
